    Backup your irreplaceable data and just send it and see what happens. Thats what I do anyway.

    why are you downloading hwinfo from shitty leech websites like that?
    https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
     
    hwinfo is a monitoring tool. It wont tell you if your board has any issues, it will display sensor data. Finding issues is the technicians (in this instance, you) job.

    The question is indeed did you click the unsubscribe link and still receive them? Because it's all standard, only if they don't respect your requests to shut up would it become shady.

    Yes bottleneck calculators are useless. Its a fine setup

    Don't use those, they're absolutely useless.
    Bottlenecks are always present, and they change from one application to another (also, they are way less of a problem than you might think)

    Paywalling is entirely the choice of the content creator, as others have said. Some creators require a paid subscription to their channel to access certain videos, just like how this one video requires Premium.

    Lurick reacted to Average Nerd in Intel CPU install   
    LGA sockets put a ton of force on the CPU to ensure proper contact. If the CPU is properly installed, which yours appears to be, it's fine.
    (It made me very uncomfortable the first time too)

    I don't see an issue with this, just another incentive for buying the subscription. Not missing out on much

    The Riley EK clip sets the standard for how to "update" a video after filming with context.  Great job from the editing team, the little touches of static really make it great.

    Lurick reacted to PanikAttak in Is Linus a Robot? KingSpec Might Think So.   
    So apparently KingSpec thinks Linus is a robot or runs on some sort of OS/software? I received a 2TB drive today and was checking out the packaging and noticed it says it's compatible with Linus. Seems like something fishy is going on...I think someone should plug this into Linus to test it.

    You're welcome! Honestly, I should have joined a long time ago since I've been watching the channel for a long time. This was just the push I needed I guess to signup. It was too good not to share so I hope everyone gets a kick out of it.

    Lurick reacted to Spotty in Twitter (X) Introduces URL Substitution to X.com, Raises Phishing Concerns; Feature Rolled Back Following Community Backlash   
    textb
    The text in tweets was modified but the URL was not. This meant if you posted a link to netflitwitter.com it would show the link as netflix.com but if you clicked the link it would go to netflitwitter.com
    For example: netflix.com
     
     
     
    The reason I suspect they didn't change the URL as well is because x.com currently just redirects to twitter.com anyway. There's no benefit to changing the URL to x.com since it would just redirect back to twitter.com. Twitter just wanted it to display in the app as x.com but actually direct to twitter.com

    I love when people make fun of the genius ideas of the world's richest baby. Even his only good idea out of this whole debacle, which was to open up community notes (which already existed before he took over, so he doesn't get to take credit for that, because everything he touches already existed) to the public is used to make fun of him whenever he spews constant nonsense. Heck, even just the fact that it has been almost a year since the rebrand and everybody is still just calling it Twitter, with media publications doing the "X, formerly Twitter" thing is hilarious. We let Facebook get away with their Meta rebrand, and yet, Elon just can't manage to convince people that "no seriously guys, X is like the cooles letter of the alphabet, so we gotta use that as our umbrella".

    Lurick reacted to -rascal- in EK Waterblocks: Liquidity shortage and mismanagement   
    I've tried EK's opaque / "Sold White" coolant in the past -- once.
    It didn't clog the CPU block, etc, but the pigments did fall out of suspension.
    It looks like they eventually got it sorted out, according to people online.
     
    Used their Cryofuel Clear concentrate (with the occasional use of their dyes) and so far, no issues since I started water-cooling in ~2016(?).
     
    Absolutely agree though, their pricing has shot up over the years.
    I'm running a full EK loop right now, but may really look into Alphacool (or other alternatives) products now.
    Getting things shipped to Canada isn't cheap - even through the resellers / retailers in Canada, rather than direct.
