    Apple users don't avoid switching Android because they're being blocked from doing it.  They don't because they don't want to.
     
    The entire strength of the Apple ecosystem comes from it being centrally managed by Apple.  iMessage is good because it's run by Apple.  Apple Pay is good because it's run by Apple.  The app store is good.....because it's run by Apple.  You open this shit up and you end up with the Android shitshow where nothing works with anything else and a 5 year old can hack it because there's more gaping holes than a BDSM porn set.
     
    If the DOJ is bored why don't they sue Nvidia...who has an actual monopoly on everything GPU compute right now.  Oh yeah because it's harder to explain that in a press release when it's an election year vs. "iPhone bad"

    He still hasn't learned from Whole Room Watercooling: glycol isn't antimicrobial by itself.  It relies on whatever you're cooling being 100C to be sterile so it's going to be screwed up shortly.
     
    You have a 3d printer and a CNC and that's your manifold situation with silicone holding it together?
     
    I'd have spaced everything out with a 1U gap and put drip trays with drain ports between each machine.  And put a contact sensor on the drain so if water ends up in there you get an alarm.

    Didn't forget about ya, it just took a month to get the printed parts delivered.  Looks like the dude use .1mm layer height cause it's finer than I've seen before.
     
    Anyhoo HOLY SHIT does the air guide work a treat.  The videos make it much more obvious than the screenshots here but without the guide the stream breaks up within 18".  With it, it's solid out to 3' easy.

    Video with the air guide:


     
    Turns out I also stumbled on the correct size of the funnel "vents" to not retrict the fan with the engine running.  I measure about 11mph peak speed  on the fan with no restriction, it drops to about 9.7mph with the engine off, and goes back to about 11mph again with the engine on indicating it's full flow.  I don't have a great means of visually showing it, but I can feel the warmth of the exhaust on my hand much further behind the car so it's *throwing* it like I wanted.

    Nothing about that sentence implies the lenses are permanently installed or can't be removed for resale.  Kinda jumping to conclusions eh?
     
    I'm also doubtful that Zeiss is pre-making and "stocking" every prescription combination.  It's literally tens of thousands of possibilities when you factor in astigmatism and the axis angles.   They would do what every other eyeglass / lens lab does which is made-to-order.  It's probably the Bloomberg guy misunderstanding the supply chain and *really* Apple just doesn't want to deal with separate lens orders and packaging and shit when they can deliver a prescription package in one shot.

    The video is talking about USB over ethernet, not USB over IP which is incredibly niche to where I can't think of any scenario a normal user would want that.   VNC-like software probably dominates most every place it could be contemplated.

    Sent this off for print.  1mm wall thickness on the grid which is as low as I can go on the design rules.  It should mate perfect to the funnel sandwiching the fan.
     

     
    I'm excited to see how much of a difference it makes in terms of air guiding.

    Yes I contemplated the temperature in the design, so I selected PETG for the purpose.  By the time the exhaust gas gets to the tip it's already been heatsinked by the rest of the pipe so while it's hot it's not melting hot.  Especially at idle where it's not a lot of gas to begin with.
     
    If anything PLA would have been fine but I picked PETG since it's practically the same material cost.

    This is where I'm camping in the car and have fans pulling fresh air into the cabin so I don't have to deal with condensation on the windows and I can cook in there without building up more condensation.
     
    EDIT: You do make a valid point about just running a section of pipe or hose to extend the tip away from the car.  It'd be viable but I was also trying to avoid carrying extra stuff since the cargo capacity gets maxed out when it's in camper mode.

    I'm growing tired of literally everything becoming a subscription.    I like things that I don't have to think about anymore once they're "taken care of"...like one time purchases.
     
    It's really the opposite.  Long trips are far less tiring when you only need to deal with speed management on the scroll wheel and passing other cars ocassionally. I wouldn't have been able to do a 14 hour trip in one shot without autopilot helping.

    3 days.  That's 3x how long my 10TB drives take to rebuild.
    I'm a simple man running raid 6 with NTFS on top...and SMB (but hey at least we have dual 10Gb for SMB multithread...).  It's dumb and basic but it's all I really want to be bothered maintaining and setting up when I need the thing to run plex and a file host accesible to the world, and be accessible to other windows boxes.  And host 2 windows VMs.  And be available 24/7/365 where I can't take it down for a week to clean slate.  I'm in a mental state where I'm annoyed when I have to do SSL certificate renewal every year.

    Anyways @OP you don't need 2 pumps.  I run at 150lph and the biggest delta across the GPU is like 2 degrees.   Radiators don't add restriction...only cpu and gpu blocks in series and unless you're doing some wild shit like multi-gpu rendering rig isn't going to be more than a D5 can handle by itself.

    Protip as someone who has spent a significant amount of time making shit with hot glue: never apply it directly to metal because it'll cool off too fast before you put whatever you want onto it.  It's not great on metal in general but apply to the plastic piece first.

    AnonymousGuy got a reaction from starsmine in 8 pin splitter to 2 x 8pin safe for 6700 XT?   
    Nothing because it's a 230W TDP gpu with 75W coming from the slot anyways.  It's literally 5W away from fitting completely on an 8 pin connector even against the absurdly low 150W spec.  
     
    So in polite terms,<redacted>.   Your comment about 12VHPWR shows lack of understanding of context.  Why did it burn?  Cause power flowed unevenly...you've understood that.  But why? Because it wasn't seated fully.  Why?  Because it's a completely different small form factor connector unrelated to what we're talking about here.
