it_dont_work

Generally I just remember where I parked it... But seriously I live in the middle of fucking know where in Australia cant say that's a problem I face regularly. Every time it used to get tripped it scared the crap out of the emus (God I wish that was a joke)

little bit of electrical tape on the contact work as well, I've done this with the panic button on my car keys.

seemed like a good idea at the time

I've a couple old Leno boxes about that age, they're full of concrete. great for holding open farm gates

it wont, theres enough protections built into the uefi

Nevermind guys. I just picked up two TM8FP7002T0C311 from my wholesaler with another order since they were only 110 each.

$140 aud for a 2tb drive is pretty good over here. Any opinion on the general quality ?

Looking at a couple of Silicon Power P34A60 ssds, haven't used their gear before and am pretty out of the loop with storage quality anygood? just needed for general use computing

Just leave it and forget about it. you're very unlikely to need to warranty the card now, most fail very early if they fail at all

This is good advice, you could get close to the cost of building a cheap system with whats left. Ebay is my go to for this kind of thing, sell as is no return. I generally test items first and sell as is tested, helps get a few extra dollars, I can accept with an mxm card this is hard (ive no way of testing it personally and i tend to have a lot of crap laying around for testing). But display, keyboard, chassis parts, if its a reasonably recent laptop they're worth reselling

Generally speaking yes, the more pricey components on higher end boards can -provide more, and cleaner power -have better uefi implementations -better options for cooling/ control of cooling which in tern helps control overclocking temps. They can also be more stable to run, with better i/o sometimes. Also good itx/matx boards can cost more because of the need to meet the form factor size limitations All of that said they are definitely boards on the market which are expensive because of looks branding, lighting or features like excessive heatsinks covering most of the board. So it all really depends on the board you're looking at. $180~ usd is where i usually begin looking for a board these days to get a good mix of everything.

I've been using AIMP for the last few years, and usually just copy my music directory to my phone, I've had my own offline collection for maybe 24 years now. Nothing against streaming or having a streaming subscription, just never fit the way i listen to music. There's a huge number of albums i own which aren't on streaming services as well as a load that are. combine that with my daily commute only had phone reception for about half of the 90km drive I just never saw the point

I watch ltt occasionally, but no i don't watch short curitic. it just doesnt come up in my feed often

Haven't really noticed much in the way of extra videos from CES this year.

+1 for the eaton units, I've and older 1000va unit with a 135ah agm hacked into it, built like a brick shit house

My hugely inefficient old amd FX system has a total power draw of around 70 watts when streaming or doing random office work so yes. Modern hardware you can get down to about 30-60 watts for these types of workloads and if that's all you're doing them you can get away with a much smaller battery system, but the downside is if you need to do anything at a heavier load you're limiting runtime to 20-60 minutes. If i want to sit down and play a game it's going to be 350-400 watts, with my full overclock in place about 680 watts, might just be me but if i play a game i'm going to sit down for 1-2 hours at a time. It really just 'depends' on what you want to do.

If it's all you've got its all you've got. Have fun and make something Amd Phenom X4 9550 4x Hynix 1GB 2Rx8 PC2 5300U Motherboards-ALivenF6G PSU-XILENCE 750W GPU-MSI GTX 970 4GB Grab a lite weight linux distro, the phenom a more solid choice in that generation, and I believe you could do some mild overclocking on that chipset (it's been a while my memory is a bit hazy of that gen) Give it a go could be a fun learning experience, an ssd of any kind and 8gb of ram and it'd be a 'useable' system with some older games that'd run pretty well.

A few mv will save a little power hard to say, but if its not running as hot, and you're happy with the performance then I'd call it a win. For stability, if you find it isn't stable in a few games over the next few weeks, then the worsted thing that happens is you change the offset a little. pretty good for downside realistically

You're going to have a problem with energy density. The two lithium batteries in my car can do that, but thats 20kg of battery. dirty calculations lets say all in you're using average 550 watts, 3hrs thats 1650kw/h, so with a 12v battery you'll need a capacity of min 140ah@12v (of capacity, you cant flatten it every use, so you need about 30% higher again). No offence, but what you want is a laptop, or an itx build that you're going to plug into someones power. I am assuming you don't want to carry around basically a small generator, or power brick like a jackery.

For what it's worth I'd do this -Three rad fans exhausting out the top -rear mounted as an exhaust to pull a little air over the vrm as well. -buy a couple of high air flow 120mm for the bottom. Or - Ditch the rear exhaust and just balance it with two 120s in the bottom a 360 will likely suck enough air through Or- get a 280 instead. can't recommend fans I'm still using old corsair maglev fans Basically you want more cfm in than out to help keep the dust filters working effectively (positive pressure), but it kinda doesn't matter as long as there's air moving up other the top of the mobo in your case. It's not exact and there aren't really any standard configs.

I like Mint, but my htpc runs on ubuntu, both have been mostly plug and play without worrying about much setup. Download a few live distros and slap them on a usb to test.

Fuck waiting, play games now. You've got kids mate you'll never get that few months back

Just use the password manager built into your google account, works fine for that kinda stuff.

Why not just use the usb as a pass key, along with your password. and honestly you've got to make the security assessment yourself, is it 'unsafe' to hold it on your desktop in an encrypted file probably, but weight that against the likelihood someone is going to break it, or you're going to send it in transit over a network. If both of those are unlikely then you're probably good, but then you might need to worry about spyware/malware such as key loggers grabbing the copy paste data.

Probably because they have one for a laptop already. I've one personally because it smooths the power from my house's inverter a little more robustly when the pump or induction cooker kicks in or god forbid when my generator turns on (fucking power from that thing is dirty), but my case is a little unique being only solar/batteries.
