it_dont_work got a reaction from Erioch in Best use for Shield TV owners with an LTT screwdriver
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.

If TLDR is correct, then I agree.

it_dont_work got a reaction from 220VoltsallCore in do mobo over 200$ give any perfomance boost if not overclocking for i7 k processors
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.

Sell your mxm 2080 super, carry the 10900k over to a cheap z590 build.
High end mxm cards retain a lot of value for people doing upgrades.
Then part out the crucial bits, stuff that breaks on other laptops, display/lid assembly and the heatsinks.

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.

it_dont_work got a reaction from PDifolco in How can I power my portable mini pc.
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.

it_dont_work got a reaction from Cazom in Fan setup for new build
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.

it_dont_work reacted to Needfuldoer in Saving passwords in a txt doc inside 7 Zip? (bad idea?)
At that point you're already hosed six ways from Sunday. If the police are searching your house and them getting your password is that disastrous, you were probably already doing something you really, really should not have been doing and it's far too late to turn back.
At least a paper password log in a secure location can't get skimmed by a bored script kiddie.

it_dont_work got a reaction from Eigenvektor in USB-C Charger Questions?
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.

it_dont_work got a reaction from Giganthrax in What Generally Panned Tech Product Did You Really Like?
Still running mine (8300 overclocked somewhat). It was pretty good when optimised in the day, just not a good deal. Useless today if you want to do anything cpu heavy.
but hey still runs cyberpunk at 1440 medium/high for me (albeit 60fps).
As for crap reviewd hardware, my shitty dlink 2 bay nas has been great for the home.

it_dont_work got a reaction from kirashi in How do I stop getting hacked?
Atleast change ALL of your passwords to different unique ones, use the feature on a lot of services to 'logout' all active sessions, and enable 2fa
And before doing so check what your recovery settings are and if they're going to secured email accounts etc

a 2019 laptop isn't old , sell your basically new laptop to someone who needs it.

it_dont_work got a reaction from Stahlmann in The cost of just living is insane
Well that's got a few 'answers'.
-"Cut back" realistically you can only do so much, cheaper options, live with roommates etc.
-"Look for a higher paying job" Crap thing is no one tells you this may take years.
-"invest" use what little savings you have to try to generate more income, there's risk here.
-"partner up" live with someone and help support each other...can't really choose this option on your own
All in all, if you've a place to live, food heating and clothing, it's secure and you know you'll be there in a few months to a year. You're doing pretty damn good. If you have no liabilities you'll also ride out the hard inflation period better than someone who does, or has just entered into a prolonged loan
Also it doesn't help to get bogged down in other stories, use them to help think but don't put too much into it (I lived in my car for a time when I first moved out as a young man, doesn't mean the story helps someone now).
Cost of living is difficult at the moment, and shit thing is it could be a decade or more before you're really in a 'better' place than now, this is part of life and young people find it frustrating and that's perfectly normal.

it_dont_work got a reaction from Stahlmann in The cost of just living is insane
I live in semi regional Australia, it's a minimun of 2-3 hours to a city, I make higher than the average income for someone in my country and more than the average household income.
But I live in an area that is technically one of the poorer parts of my state, here I make twice the median household income and with my wife live very comfortably. This was until we began building our own house on a larger property where now its 'ok' but not always easy.
All this considered, I've no idea how someone in todays day an age gets aherad or out of a static position, I'm one of maybe 5 people in my broader friend group or of a similar age who I work with who owns their own housing and in my region rent pricing is set by the city pricing which means that people here make less than half the average Australian income and pay just as much as people in the city.
Its difficult and I dont see it getting better for a few decades for most people, and Australia in all respects has been hit less than most of the world by price rices and the economic downturn
