Don't act like you're being clever here—I wasn't asking for your opinion or a deep dive into the subtext.
It’s perfectly clear what I'm requesting: a ban from a specific subforum—the partial section.

To whom it may concern,

I am formally requesting a permanent ban from the "Best Buy" subforum.
At this stage, I find myself questioning whether such requests are even taken seriously here—but if you refuse to grant me this ban, I shall simply ensure I earn it myself.

Best regards,

Jesse Brown61, your posts were deleted simply because they were so utterly atrocious. A ban lasting more than a month—can you even imagine? What exactly does one have to do to trigger that level of scrutiny? Let those who doubt me use their imaginations.

I have absolutely no intention of getting into a confrontation with you, Jesse Brown61.
Anyway, bye guys—feel free to say whatever you like.

I feel compelled to offer a brief response. Our colleague, the Formula 1 driver, is absolutely correct here.
What Jerry Robinson56 and Megan Green72 are attempting to orchestrate is nothing more than a resurrection of the user Route99—strictly to bolster their numbers for causing chaos on the audio and video boards.

Jerry Robinson56 is a user who, as far as I am aware, holds the record for the longest ban on this entire site (a full month)—and then proceeded to vanish for nine months before resurfacing just now. One can only imagine what kind of behavior warrants such a lengthy suspension.

Now that he has returned, apparently fully recharged, he intends to assemble a little squad to work alongside... him on those aforementioned boards.

As for Route99, he was permanently banned because his rhetoric—targeted mostly at the user Olif—was, to put it mildly, inhumane. Even as a mere bystander reading his posts rather than being the target himself, I found it deeply unsettling to read. Truly unpleasant. Believe me when I say you do not want a character like that back in our midst.

I suggest you read between the lines regarding the true intentions of Jerry Robinson56 and Megan Green72.

Everything the Formula 1 driver stated stands; there was peace and order here until the arrival of Megan Green72, followed shortly by a handful of others.

If this earns me a warning, so be it. What I have said is the plain truth, spoken with the sole intention of ensuring this forum remains a pleasant and civilized space.

Of course, vibrations will wreak havoc on any piece of electronics—unless, naturally, they are properly isolated from them.
And as for the suggestion that one should simply go out and buy an overpriced business laptop? Pure nonsense.

So, sure, "industrial grade" laptops actually exist—they just don't come with a $4,500 price tag:

Perhaps it would be more prudent—or at least significantly cheaper—to focus on improving your vibration isolation instead...

I suspect you were given sound advice. Vibrations can absolutely wreck a laptop—how could they not?
First off, there are industrial-grade workstations designed specifically to withstand noise and vibration; conversely, you can simply isolate a standard laptop from the source of the disturbance.

Standard consumer-grade HP or Dell machines are engineered for office environments where things are relatively quiet—there is a massive difference between a cubicle and a nightclub.

If I had to offer a quick suggestion, I’d say just move the laptop away from the source. Are you sitting right next to a speaker or something similar?
Another option would be to place some sort of dampening material—perhaps foam or rubber beneath the laptop. Using an absorbent material helps dissipate the energy from the noise and vibrations before they reach the device and slowly degrade its components.

Terry Brown8 said:Well, I already ordered an Arduino, so I might as well play around with it a bit...
Which Assembly language would be suitable for that?

Oh, give me a break. He’s basically implying that C is child's play and there's nothing more effortless than that...
Assembly is ten times more difficult—and frankly, quite pointless nowadays—even when you're dealing with microcontrollers.

The "Arduino version" of C is actually less taxing than standard AVR C, so if you want to write a little program for your project, that really is your simplest path.
