    When the printer doesn't even know what's going on

    It's fine I'll just whip out the "hardware I need to hoard collect" or my Plex library info/purchase link Excel spreadsheets

    Honestly I think the iPad would do worse in that aspect. I have both an iPhone 7 and an SE2 so I've got both chips in question: The iPhone 7 got hot enough to where it wasn't comfortable to hold just by leaving the camera recording 4K30 for an extended duration (and as such got so hot the display dimmed, so you KNOW that bitch was throttling), and the SE2 has only ever gotten warm at best no matter what torture I've put it through. Sure glass isn't a great heat conductor, but the 7 would noticeably throttle just using it normally and the SE2 doesn't.

    Don't tell me our dumbasses were both able to recognize it being one of those funny HPs from like a decade ago because of the font...

    32GB isn't even really small for just games, it's just small in general. My 15 Pro Max only has Pokemon GO on it as far as games go, and if we subtract downloaded music I'm sitting at 68GB used. That being said, the SE2 will pretty much universally run laps around a 7th gen iPad. A significantly faster chip (Geekbench 6 puts the SE2 at literally twice the performance as the 7th gen iPad, though I think real-world it's more like 60-70%) with a lower resolution screen makes it a pretty one-sided battle. Not to mention the A13 keeps its cool pretty well even in the SE, whereas the A10 was a hot little fucker.

    I paid entirely too much for one of these: A BNIB Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse in Shadow Black. I wanted to get both the Pro and standard versions when they were still in production and I'm paying the price for not doing so. Very early impressions are good, all things considered. I absolutely love the smaller ambi style of the G203 and GPW, however for being a bigger ergo mouse meant for righties the Pro IntelliMouse is very comfy. And the software is... Surprisingly good. So far only complaint is that the left/right clicks are very snappy and a bit on the loud side, and I guess my universal hatred for braided cables on mice.

    Beside the age of my current rig ... I am wonde…

    It's definitely a case of having your own expectations I think. I have a 2080 and I genuinely cannot wait for the day to come that I can replace it. Like yes, generally speaking at 1440p it's a totally capable card but after having a taste of a 4080 IRL I just hate it.

    I love me some Windows boxes, Vista and ME's are also great looking tbh.

    All the time on wall, and 25w max on battery. ThrottleStop lets you adjust the max power limits and after that it's just a guessing game for if your machine will support it.

    Vendors can configure their PL1/PL2 to whatever they want, really. Lenovo by default caps the 1315U in my laptop to 15 watts which quite frankly makes it absurdly slow albeit very cool, but with ThrottleStop I let it suck down as much as it wants all the time on wall power (usually around 35-40W).

    Finally bought some fans for my PC. I fucked up the cable for my stock AIO fans the day I got it when I was desleeving it, and when I took it apart to clean the connector came off sooooo it was time for a replacement. Plus side is these are black instead of having white blades so now the only thing that stands out in my system are the lil A40x20's that cool my SSDs. Now I'm just waiting on CableMod to hurry the fuck up so I can have the correct length 24 pin and EPS cables, and then I'll finally be able to put the side panels back on this thing.

    Bought a second 5-port HDMI switch from UGreen because I have 8 devices and 2 ports on my TV. I'm hoping I can daisy-chain the switches because running the Apple TV through a switch breaks HDMI CEC (aka I can't turn my TV on and off with just that remote when I'm on a TV binge).

    Bought a lil laser printer (the HL-L2370DW) for a whopping $40 because it's been our display model since about Q1 2018. Only printed off 11 pages before my ownership. Just need to clean up the remainder of the sticker residue plus the sticker residue on the back right corner from one of our ancient signage dealios we had on it.

    It doesn't matter if you eliminate them from consoles, anywhere else they look the same tactics will be used. You might as well be trying to fight a horde of locusts using only a flyswatter.

    hehehe whoops, I destroyed the only EPS cable I think I have for my PC so I just ended up dropping a fat stack on a 24-pin and an EPS for it. Hopefully I got the right length. 😬

     

    This also means I'm stuck using my sleeper HP with a 6700K and (very) thermally constrained GTX 970 for about two weeks. Quite the downgrade from a 12600KF and RTX 2080.

    Afterburner is still kinda the best option we have.

    Got me some of them got damn racin car wheels for the black Hyken I just got a couple weeks ago. It's absolutely insane how much of a difference for noise these guys can make on hard flooring, and they actually make it just a little bit harder to roll around which actually makes getting in and out of the chair easier. Also, I may or may not have spent a little more on these ones just because I liked the actual wheel design more.

    I got Gateron G Yellow Pro 3.0's for my Keychron K8 Pro and overall I'm pretty happy with them. The actual switch doesn't really do much for sound since they're just quiet and inoffensive, in my limited experience with them it seems like the keycap makes more of a difference. I had some in a Logitech G Pro X with the stock keycaps + some foam moddage and the sound really isn't that far off from the K8 Pro with Glorious keycaps and the heaps of sound deadening that this thing comes with. The Glorious keycaps are nothing special either, they're a comical amount lighter than the stock caps and I swear to god they're wearing faster than the caps from the GPX did.

    Got this 16GB iPhone 5S with a pristine display... but beat to hell body. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it, right now it just runs a clean wipe of 12.5.7. iPhone SE2 for scale.

    If I'm not mistaken the R12 actually uses a standard mATX motherboard. Hell, I think it's even exempt from Dell's flavor of 12VO and 5-pin PWM autism.

    The power brick for my bastard child Xbox 360 is the same way. It has HORRIBLE coil whine so I ended up throwing it on a single-outlet power switch so that I can turn it on and off as needed.

    IIRC it's the same situation on macOS as well now. I had a 2014 Mac Mini and on Mojave installing updates wasn't too bad, but with Catalina and above (which is when the dedicated system partition became a thing) it started to take an absolute eternity to install updates. Though I think that's also just a macOS thing now because my M1 Mini behaves the same way, albeit much faster than the trash ol' 2014. Also that is very odd app install behavior. I've got a Pixel 7, SE2, and a 15PM (used to have a 13PM) and usually every one of the iPhones would end up installing faster than the Pixel 7, or at least install equally fast.

    I sense another opportunity to simp for the TeamGroup MP33/MP33 Pro and MP34. I've got the 128 and 256GB versions of the MP33 as well as a 4TB MP34 and I have nothing but praise for them. They're all dirt cheap for the capacity you get, and the endurance on all of them is usually a healthy bit higher than anything else for the same price (my 4TB drive as a rated endurance of 2.4 petabytes). They may not be the fastest things in the world, but realistically you don't need some meme SSD that gets 6,900MB/s.

    I finally have to deal with the sizeable coolant leak my car has developed from a cracked radiator end tank. It loses anywhere from 200 to 400mL a day, depending on how warm it is outside and how much I've driven. And here I thought tax return season meant paying off some of the credit card.
