My CPU (6th generation i5) died last week. RIP.

I installed debian 9, installed virtualbox, vagrant, setup a clean development machine for myself, everything took 4 hours to finish.

I reboot the virtual machine, and boom, there was a kernel panic which I sadly don't remember exactly / didn't take a picture of. After I rebooted the machine, and opened terminal, the system froze. The cursor wouldn't move. Reboot again, motherboard has a CPU fail/undetected light on. Couldn't get it to boot after that.

I am both sad and relieved that bad stuff exists, but it's being patched to prevent proliferating.

I sincerely hope I'll get a replacement from Intel.
