    @GOTSpectrum made me cry

    Don't worry, you could reach top 100 when you grow up... Definitely

    $5.5k and v slots is beyond laughable. Why would anyone buy that...

    How much is the Piocreat? Is it really the $5.5k I found online or was that another model?
  4. God I love electrical engineering/tinkering

     

    Had an appliance break last week, took it to the lab, opened it up, did unspeakable inadvisable electronic things, slapped it together and now it's all good 😁

     

    ~5h of work saved me an entire €10, incredible!

      It's great as long as it works. Tinkering with anything sucks as soon as you spend more than 30s and it's even more fubar than before.

    ALU cap sounds kind of unsafe? Or at least less safe
  6. Hmmm are the MDR-XB700 worth buying or should I just not bother with it and wait for a MDR-XB1000 to show up 🤔 don't think I have ever seen the 1000 on a local market tho

    Remind me again why I shouldn't use an adblocker?

  8. You don't want to do maintenance? Go air. You should replace your coolant something like yearly and clean the loop when you have it apart. Soft tubes also have a finite life, the heat will get to them. The clear ones go bad much earlier than the black stuff.
  9. Those are some ridiculously low minimum specs if you have 3k to spend I'd first look for battery life and RAM. At the very least 16GB, I'd probably go for 32GB. Next up is a nice screen and keyboard. Definitely going to be a really nice thing to have seeing as you are likely going to be using this laptop for most of the day almost every day for the next 3-5 years. My recommendation is to go for something fairly slim and 14" or below, I am extremely happy to not be lugging around a thick and heavy 15.6" during my days. The graphics might be tricky, seems like they want you to have a dedicated GPU, any discrete GPU you can find in a laptop from the last five years or so will probably be good enough. Buying used can get you a heck of a lot more value too. I got my surface laptop 2 for €300 when my pro 4 died, you have about 6x that budget so you should not have a hard time finding something suitable in your price range.
  10. The local postal service has become a fucking joke. It was bad, but I have rarely had this shit of an experience with it.

     

    Bought a few things from a German store, usually works great because that's another EU country, but it's taken the postal service a full working week now to get my package to somewhere I can pick it up.

     

    It got into the country in the morning hours of Monday and the tracking said I'd have it that day so I stayed home. Two hours after the proposed delivery time it was still not here and the tracking updated that it was still in the same place as at 1am...

     

    Package traveled to the city I live in during Tuesday but got here in the evening for delivery on Wednesday, but I couldn't be home on Wednesday. The door delivery failed as I was not home(it would have failed if I was home too because they don't go into apartment buildings 💀 also never asked for door delivery, it was forced on me and the delivery options button was broken).

     

    Stayed home yesterday too as the tracking said they would make another attempt but with no specified time, then it updated to saying I had received notification of where I could pick up my package and then a few hour later it said I could not be reached at my telephone number with calls or texts so I would get a "different notification". At no point had I gotten any contact from them. All I had was the tracking number. Nothing in the mailbox, no email, nothing at all.

     

    Package went back to the distribution terminal late last night and apparently I have been notified by a mail slip where and when I can pick up my package. Haven't checked that yet but if they mean that they have sent me a letter the that will probably arrive on Monday 😑

     

    Pretty pissed as the store I bought from promised a 1-3 day delivery to where i am. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up my package today, I really need the stuff I ordered...

    Do you have to be logged in to the machine tho? Because I absolutely refuse to use a M$ account for getting into my computer

    WAR THUNDER FORUMS AT IT AGAIN @HenrySalayne

    What was it this time? And was it actually classified or was it just "restricted" as the last couple of posts were
  16. Why doesn't it have USB PD???? 5v 5A? Does anyone even sell that?..
  17. i built in that case when it came out, i thought it was pretty nice besides the acrylic window. The blue colour is quite nice so i imagine the red would be too. The plastic and paint isnt perfectly matched which bothered me slightly but its not that bad
  18. you probably need to update your repository refrences

    jeez today has found a way to piss me off lol.…

    This is the most somewhere-nowhere-in-america status update i have read
  20. if you want something that will never ever go down you would be looking at server grade stuff with ECC everything. i think for what you are looking for this would be a decent motherboard, but dont think that it will be the best thing ever forever. Eventually in a few years its going to limit you as you cant upgrade because of the chipset
  21. If you really want to know why, id say you should become and electrical engineer with a focus on semiconductor design for integrated circuits. Some useful topics to look into if you want a real answer are digital design and semiconductor design for integrated circuits. There are way too many for me to explain and its not like i know every limitation either but a few of them are: Gate charge, the controll terminal of a MOSFET acts as a capacitor that needs to be charged before it can effectively switch state Gate oxide thickness, thicker gate oxide means the controll terminal can handle more voltage which can speed up switching Critical Path delay, how fast the slowest thing you are trying to do with your transistors is C2Q delay, how fast your memory elements can ready the next output(kinda, not really) Package power dissipation, if its not enough the silicon structures will break These are VERY simple explenations of a few of the limitations that came to my mind, its not as simple as "make it cold -> more go fast"
  22. The RCA are outputs, you need a phono preamp i belive
  23. Does that amp take anything but USB input? I dont think it does
  24. I really like public transport and really belive it should be expanded and utilised by more people, but when it's about €1/day cheaper and 80min/day faster to commute on a Vespa I think I'm gona go for the Vespa

     

    This is with insurance, fuel and parking included in the calculation and the cheapest option for public transport
