Adapters are so old that each of them uses some proprietary connection : Ericsson, SonnyEricsson, Motorola.. so the plan was to snip the connectors (maybe leaving 1cm of cable at the connector side) and solder on something more useful in 2021 like barrel jack (gotta check what my Gameboy Colour uses), USB or some female(or nonbinary gender neutral) fan connector .

Thanks! I Didn't even knew this sub topic existed .

I've stored my old phone chargers, because they still work (the failed part was usually connection port on the phone) and now that I got myself a fancy soldering iron I am looking for a DIY project ideas on where to repurpose them. Chargers are: 4.9V at 300ma, 350ma, 450ma, 700ma (EU plug AC>DC) Ideas so far: powering LEDs for ambient light at night powering small fans for soldering fume dissipation.. (got two 120mm PC fans but they use 12V 0,09A and 0.21A) replacing connectors with USB or some other barrel type powering SBC's Additional ideas, experiences and suggestions are welcome! (I'll update the list as needed)

As a web developer that started with HTML and CSS at about your age I'd recommend you have a look of basic concepts in JavaScript (JS) and learn Lua for programming games. Because modern code editors and browsers are great for learning how to write code and debug as you go. Visual Studio Code with Type checking for JS(using Typescript "engine" without any Typescript syntax) and a Linter is SUPERB combination for newcomers. Python does have lots of tutorials and learning material but its usage in making games is limited after simple "homework assignments" and since you will be learning basic concepts like variables, functions and strings etc. from JS tutorials it makes Python tutorials kind of redundant. A good thing to know is that browsers are actually programs written in C/C++ with "JS functionality" (programming and execution) added for the "end user" where a lot of details are abstracted away for easier usage.. which is exactly the same with game engines that use C/C++ and use Lua for the "end user", where the goal of the engine is to deal with OS and GPU instructions / pipeline and you only have to worry about your game logic in Lua. My case for Lua is that its simplicity makes it a better language to switch back and forth from other languages and game engines like Defold, Love2D, "Roblox" make it easy to experiment with game development without a dead end when you want to easily deploy/publish a game on modern devices/platforms like Android, iOS, Switch(Defold).. Mac, Windows and Linux are a given for most engines. TLDR; USE: Html, css, js for web development, learning programming and simpler games(Gdevelop) Python if you don't want to learn the web stack (line above) and only want to learn/use one language (Pygame) Lua if you want to develop & publish your game on multiple modern platforms (Defold) but don't want to write c/c++

I bought the mentioned items yesterday and saw this video today.. looks like both were discounted ahead of time so this might be the standard/no discount price by the end of 2020.

16GB of 3200Mhz RAM and 500GB NVME ssd are now for 55€ & 60€ Are these expected to drop this year for any amount worth waiting? (last time I bought 3200Mhz RAM I paid ~90€ for 2x4GB and 120€ for 240GB SSD )

And motherboard RGB lighting on my ROG Strix B350-F is active while system is shut down so there is something on MB that is still active.. just can't find the info in my MB manual? ?. The idea is you could power something like a raspberry pi(or even multiple) through a custom board and forgo the need for power adapters.

Current motherboards have a setting in bios that enables USB power while system is shut down so you can power your phone without the need for cpu to consume power with running an OS. I assume that there is some type of power management control on the motherboard that enables this. So i'll go straight to it: Can motherboards provide power to pci-e components while system is shut down? Is there a setting that provides power to pci-e components? Do pci-e devices communicate their power requirements to MB or does that communication require CPU to provide variable power draw or set stable power draw? Would this function require just a bios update or does the motherboard need to be designed with this feature beforehand (with additional chips and pathing)? Are there power states that would enable this without the need for the OS to be in idle? I just can't find the answers on the web. Thanks for any info on this in advance ?.

Happened as well to my AMD Radeon HD 6790.. vertical red lines and the problem persists across different systems, monitors and connectors. Also noticed during testing different drivers and settings that system resolution affects the number of vertical red lines. I'll try the baking method without the cooler to see if thermal shocking does the trick.. after that it is just an ornament/paper weight with cooler for some DIY project.

Try dropping your RAM frequency to 3Ghz or just a tad lower like 2.9Ghz.

This is the problem I had and after trouble shooting my Samsung 840 EVO ssd doing trim and advance optimization changing timings on RAM all on freshly installed Windows 10 with Fast boot enabled in "BIOS" and Fast start in Windoows and Adrenalin drivers and B350 Chipset drivers that used Special Ryzen Power Plan... this special ryzen power plan was the issue as well as power saving W10 default one. Chosing the "high performance plan" cut time to desktop from ~35s to ~12s. (still 7s till beep as before) If you have Ryzen CPU with 300 series motherboard use Windows 10 "High Performance" power mode for faster boot times!

Returning a MB for this seem quite odd, just get a "fan splitter cable" which allows for two fans to be controlled by the same fan header on MB, pair together the ones on the same side like in front intake or something like that. It is unusual to have different speeds for top and bottom fan on the same side since it can cause turbulence. It is a sub 5$ cable usually. I count 4 Fan headers and 1 AIO so you have plenty. Not sure if you can use AIO header as normal one but i'll assume that you can and just edit in BIOS that it is a normal fan or smth like that. My old PC (ha old just replaced it yesterday xD) only had 1PWM header which was used for CPU fan i used Arctic fan that came with this sort of cable in the box and regulated speeds threw that... it was really sub optimal when stock intel cooler was paired with 120mm exhaust fan but it worked fine when i replaced it with HyperX 212EVO. This works best when CPU and the paired fan are about the same size and have similar min/max speed variance like "600-1000rpm" (the more similar the fans the better, two of the same model like two intakes is the perfect use case for fan splitters).
