they should both survive their rated wattage. if they dont, you've bought actual garbage, or user error is involved.

well.. who knew, prime subs being actually expensive to pay out, given how much amazon prime actually costs... let me put it like this: they're still paying out 15% of the cost of one's amazon prime subscription to a streamer of their choosing, as part of a minor side-feature of said amazon prime subscription. on that note.. last i heard the 50/50 thing on subs hasnt been a thing for several years in general. -
The konmari method. you dont clean up by deciding what to toss away, you clean up by deciding what to keep based on one question: "does this item spark joy?" that term is a very japanese mindset though.. so i often just refer to "does owning this improve my life , at least equal to how much space it takes up?" or in other words.. what it comes down to is.. 'making the decision' to throw things away is hard. making that a decision to keep something makes the "dispose" option much easier.

you live in the UK.. there is no universe in which that climate plus "just one PC" nets a room so hot it actually makes you ill. as for the noise.. either you have a condition, or you need to stop using blowiematrons for cooling. i have a 5800x and GTX970 in my desktop, and right next to that is an epyc 7313P with 3 GPU's. if i keep the window and door to my room both closed temps do get a bit on the high side, but nothing ridiculous. putting your computer in the garage is a very costly endavour, depending on your preferences even more costly than installing aircon.. when this problem really just sounds like you need to hydrate more, and maybe get a better CPU cooler to reduce noise. also - depending on your monitor setup you might actually overlook a pretty major source of heat.. if you have a double or triple monitor setup you could be pretty close to 100 watts just from those.

Heavy Topic - Helping a Family With an Untimely Death
manikyath replied to BryanOttawaDetroit's topic in General Discussion
the bank should be able to help you with this. in theory any money that belonged to the deceased goes into the inheritance, and gets handled from that end. as far as i'm aware over here at least banks freeze the respective accounts until the inheritance has been settled to make sure none of the family members run off with money that isnt rightfully theirs (yet). but really.. this is not a matter for a tech forum, because the problem at hand is far from technical. a USB drive organized in folders, and the same thing burned to DVD's as backup for when they inevitably wreck said drive. -
assuming this is max clock and not boost clock, there's no reason why it would reduce the expected lifespan in any sensible metric what so ever. on that note.. neither would boost clock, assuming you're not running some OC. what it *does* do is waste a LOT of power.. i got news for you.. if you're running these heavy tasks, your cpu will go turbo clocks either way, so the power plan makes zero difference. (unless if you're comparing to a SUPER mellow profile where it wont actually turbo.. but i dont exactly recommend those profiles either.)

because it's aimed at managers who just need to order the one switch they need to get the machine running again, and machine downtime costs more than this switch.

that's hilareous.. if only they advertised using android as a 'solid foundation' it would be a feature... but no, they advertise 'a secure OS' which makes it even funnier that it's just android under the hood.

not "older" keyboards, it's just the standard layout to have two. the idea is that like shift and ctrl, it's a modifier key, and you can use either hand to access it, while using the other hand to access the key you want to "modify". it's just that the windows key is rarely used in today's "what are hotkeys anymore" era of computing.

the nintendo DSi (i think.. might be wrong on which exact platform it was) was WEP only well into the WPA2 era. basicly it launched right at the tail end of WEP making any sense at all.. and they made no effort to even consider future-hardening their device. so - while it's likely to be a hardware limitation at least in part, nintendo has a track record of not even considering future-readiness while designing their hardware, and having no intention to patch things down the line if it's not an exploit that can be used for sideloading. and that, is why nintendo is -as compared to their expenses- technically more wealthy than apple.

linux ISO's ofcourse.

that sounds very similar to the behavior i'd expect when your boot drive is dying, might be worth checking that before you spend hours upon hours of troubleshooting.

10 years safter the fact i'm still salty about a multiple choice test i got back where i was graded a 0/10, and after i was done contesting this grading using the teacher's own book.. i had a 10/10... and the teacher claimed to the principal that i disrupted his class, a complaint that was swiftly dismissed when i told the principal *why* i disrupted this joke of a teacher's class. said test also had a "no correct answers" question, *and* a question where every answer was correct.
-
here's the thing with that question... it's clear by the provided image that he implies that *all* the variables change, but this question is deeply flawed, and bad educational practisce because it motivates students to copy 'blindly' and not actually learn. also - whatever happened to multiple choice questions being the right answer, the wrong answer, and a way off base answer that shows the student has no f*cking clue what they're on about. i might have very strong opinions about the way teachers are trained, and what impact that has on our education system.

you have no idea how relevant this is to the past week i've had...

this is why you scroll up and down to see if the pixel moves or not.

minecraft's vsync cant actually hold 60FPS, most of the time you'll get 50-ish FPS with vsync enabled.
-
hat depends on how big a battery you add.. my usual go-to brand is CSB, they have a series specificly for UPS use. i've ran an ultracell once, and it did fairly well, defenately better than kung long..
-
it's just that those inverters tend to be.. expensive. but that said, the setup proposed in the video is really the way to go if you dont feel comfortable modifying a UPS to handle a bigger battery.
-
the reason UPS'es are expensive, is because they are designed to run 24/7 and be able to take over the load at a moment's notice. a separate inverter will still mean that a power outage takes out your computer, you then need to plug it in the inverter and start it up again. on that note.. most cheap inverters are utter garbage. as it turns out making something good costs money. as for the replacement batteries.. there's two strong suggestions for you: - most of them just have regular standard lead-acid batteries below the "manufacturer's label" on the battery. when the battery goes jello you pull it out, peel the marketing label off, see what's underneath, order that, and call it a day. - if you want to run off a car battery to have 'all day battery life'.. either buy a UPS with an external battery connector, or just remove the battery from a regular office UPS and run the leads out to a pair of car batteries (pair because you really want a 24 volt unit)

so, i was trowing together a minecraft instance for some creative stuff, and because apparently there is no version overlap between worldedit, and worldedit UI on the forge side, i had to use fabric loader..
and because fabric loader has "nvidium", i decided to try to see how well that works..
for those not aware.. minecraft java edition starts to lag hard when you go past the 12-ish chunk render distance. there's many optimization mods out there that ease this, one of the more recent examples is "nvidium" which as the name implies uses some nividia specific OpenGL stuff to INSANELY boost performance... and finally fix minecraft's horrendously broken vsync.
result being... i now have this view of my redstone "grid world" map, without even a smidge of stutter:
for those that lose the sense of scale here..
- this world is entirely 4x4 block grid pattern, either yellow/orange chunks, or blue/cyan chunks.
- each chunk is outlined by a slightly darker border
- the edges of region files and center of region files are marked by blue chunks.
- region files are 32x32 chunks
so.. this view is almost an entire region file, or from coords 0;0 where i am now, out to about 512 on each axis, with performance to spare. without nvidium i'd generally run at 12 chunk distance, which means i'd only be able to see about half way to that center "dot" in the distance.
all of this really goes to show.. java is not minecraft java edition's only problem.
(oh, and PS, i didnt only try this in my plot world, it's just that normal worlds lose their sense of scale even more...)

yeah it doesn't look like it can keep up when I fly in creative, my minecraft also stutters, not sure if it's because how complex the later versions are, it's not like I have a slow PC either

Can I clean my GPU shared memory in a Asus laptop?
manikyath replied to Dimonlime's topic in Graphics Cards
i would love to clean my memory after what some friends occasionally send me on discord... but i assume OP wants to clear up memory allocated to the GPU, so it can be used as system memory. -
afaik the EU doesnt specificly disallow those things to be in a TOS, they just have rules for what a TOS can or cannot enforce. so they can claim your first born in the TOS, but that is not something enforcable by TOS so it is essentially void even if it is there and agreed to.
-
in other news, a public park can cause minors to be exposed to criminals. are you gonna sue the post office when someone sends you dick pics trough the mail? --- i agree that this is a TERRIBLE thing to be in a TOS (and in the EU is considered void afaik) but the stated example is something where discord essentially cant be a party to the problem unless they do creepy levels of snooping on PM's.

it's a horrid market to be in. margins are razor thin, competition is fierce, and if you have any sense of honor in your body you'll lose to the most ruthless of scammers out-competing you. a place i used to work at did this on the side, we were our own source for old computers so we essentially had no purchase cost past a pile of kingston A400 SSD's, and even then we were lucky to sell our own inventory at some sense of profit before they got too old to even bother selling.
