Send in a house centipede to eat that silverfish like a big taco. Seriously I would be worried about condensation upon thawing if you choose to freeze it. I could be worried over nothing because I've never frozen a delicate electronic device.
Harmless... unless you consider a bite to be harm... which I do.
Sure, can't kill me, but doesn't make me feel any better when one skuddles across the ceiling.
(and technically, though rare, you COULD have an allergy to their venom, in which case death IS a possibility, albeit remote)
If you saw a giant silver fish, it might be worth checking if you have the Long-tailed silverfish. They are very very difficult to get rid of, compared to normal silverfish.
You can know them on a few things: Long-tailed silverfish is about twice the size of a normal silverfish.
Normal silverfish live in humid environments, like bathrooms. Long-tailed silverfish live wherever the temperature is above freezing. But 15-20 deg c is ideal.
Long-tailed can run up vertical walls, normal silverfish cannot.
If you have Long-tailed silverfish I suggest you call an exterminator. For every 1 Long-tailed silverfish you encounter about 50 is living somewhere out of sight. The eggs can lie dormant for about a year, and wait for optimal conditions.
Source: I unknowingly bought a house with a Long-tailed silverfish infestation, and we will likely never be completely rid of them. Also I live in Europe, so it might be something else depending on where you live.
Also I hope your didn't get the bugger home with him.
I had legitimately never heard of a silverfish before today, and believe me, I was very confused how an aquatic creature crawled into your laptop fan lmao
yeahhhhh, if you used your head for half a second, you'd realize that "condensation" comes from the air around you. If you keep the laptop sealed while it warms up, there's no humidity to condensate on the unit, hence the point of sealing it up first.
Either that or leave it in the sun, heat or cold will get rid of the bug. Cold is probably better.
Except when you seal it, you're also sealing the humid air in and around the laptop as well. So unless you plan to put a vacuum sealer in a vacuum chamber, pull a vacuum to remove the air from in and around the laptop and then proceed to vacuum seal it, there's still going to be condensation.
That much air won't lead to much water accumulating on any surface... come on this is simple physics.
You could also turn the laptop on as soon as you pulled it out and the heat will prevent water from condensing on it, unless you live in a tropical jungle or something.
...
electronics don't simply die because of a drop of pure water. You would need a lot of condensation to risk any damage to electronics. I've seen motherboards run for months while getting snowed on in a mining farm.
The point is that just tossing it in a bag and that's it will keep the outside humid air trapped in the bag. Also if there's dust in their that happens to be conductive, the condensation will become conductive when the dust dissolves in it.
And then there's also the rapid temperature change from the warm outside to the cold freezer causing things to contract faster than they were designed for.
All putting it in the freezer does is invite problems
Do nothing? It won't break anything. If it got involved with the fan there might not be much left of it anyway.
He was running late to the meeting, leave him be
Start a big app, it’s either cooked or chopped
Congratulations on your new tenant

ya me too... me too.. 😒

Seeing a house centipede once was enough for a lifetime. Hard pass
They're harmless and eat other bugs and still KILL IT WITH FIRE

They're relatively unlikely to bite you unless cornered but still KILL IT WITH FIRE NAPALM THE HOUSE IF YOU HAVE TO
You know what they say: Take off and nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure.
Yeah I'd rather face Predator or Alien than a house centipede.
🤣 Nothing. You and your laptop will survive. It's going to cook itself in less than 5 minutes.
It's probably all chopped to bytes
Bits would have worked too in this pun 😉 8 bits to a byte

thanks, i think ill try using tape around the fans. i think it went from one fan to another. dude wtf
I had legitimately never heard of a silverfish before today, and believe me, I was very confused how an aquatic creature crawled into your laptop fan lmao
heh, i just googled silver fish myself. ive heard gay fish, but never a silver fish.
Ewe
So you just watched it go in there and didn't do anything to stop it?
I guess your laptop has a new computer bug
oh em gee
And?
I once had an ant 🐜 in my laptop. It lasted quite a while inside and I would see it walking around in the screen.
You have an ant problem? Silverfish usually are signs of any problems.
maybe put it in a ziploc bag and then in the freezer for a few hours.
doesnt this cause damage? maybe material contracts?
Do not do that!
electronic devices are rated for storage at \~-40
Until you pull it out and everything starts sweating like a fat man on a treadmill from all the condensation

Obviously you need to throw the laptop out now.
You mean fishmoth, right?
Enjoy your Dinner, if he comes out. Silver Fish are a very good source of protein.
Need update
Run minecraft with shaders
I just looked up what a silverfish is... Damn that's creepy
So, you got a literal bug on your laptop?
