    The Unarchiver is the easy obvious answer.

    The only jankier tape than gaff tape is vinyl electrical tape. The adhesive on that crap just degrades into sticky goo within a year (or less in hot conditions). Then the vinyl dries out and shrinks, pulling back and exposing more goo.
     
    At least zip ties have some level of permanence.

    I'd say tape, because it can leave the glue behind which is a PITA.

    Yeah I was a bit paranoid YEARS ago when I got my 120GB 840 EVO at launch (it was new tech to me and I spent all of my money on it so I wanted to preserve it for as long as possible), but now... Fuck man, I couldn't even TELL you how many OS installs my 120GB and especially 250GB 840 EVOs have seen. It has to be in the hundreds by now.

    I feel like even Java Minecraft might be a bit of a stretch for it just because of how oddly GPU-hungry it has become in semi-recent times, though Bedrock would still work flawlessly on it. If you intend to do anything more than that though you will need to throw a dedicated card in and probably upgrade your RAM to at least 16GB.
     
    You can get GT1030's on eBay now for around $30 bucks which isn't bad so long as you get the GDDR5 variant. Unfortunately there aren't many LP cards to choose from, and all the ones worth half a damn (namely the 1050Ti and 1650) cost entirely too much.

    Oh you know it buddy. At least this one is allegedly Zen 1, not that those cores would be very pleasant in a shitty clocked dual core anyways.

    flibberdipper got a reaction from Somerandomtechyboi in WTF?? LOOK AT THE RAM   
    Considering the fact that it has a dual-core Athlon 3050U, not really. I'd much rather have my IdeaPad that has a 1315U but only 8GB of non-upgradable RAM that I got for somewhere in the mid $300's.
     
    What I lose to never having enough RAM I gain by having a very competent CPU.

    yes, quality doesnt change, time it takes to produce the same result will.

    flibberdipper got a reaction from Lurick in Windows 11 File Explorer Default Behavior   
    As far as I'm aware this is not possible at all with the default file browsers that we've had since at minimum Windows 7 (and probably earlier, that's just the earliest I can remember).

    flibberdipper got a reaction from Jon-Slow in Decrease power consumption ?   
    LTT never sent me a notification that anyone replied which is great, but for what it's worth my PSU isn't anything special, just a lil EVGA GM750. And we also have to remember that every board will do different junk with the BIOS. Thankfully my board was actually reasonable by default; I believe at stock clocks it was doing about 1.23v and I was able to add on a couple hundo MHz (keeping the PC at 4.6GHz at full load and bringing the EC up to 4.0GHz) and take the voltage down to 1.2v at peak.

    You'd love my Strix 2080. Granted I did buy it used, but the fans have a light tick to them (mainly at lower RPMs) and lately when they hit 0dB mode sometimes there's one that just doesn't actually turn off... And it's not the same fan every time... So that's cool.

    I'll throw a bone in for InfiniteCables. For CAT6 solid-core plenum stuff IC is a couple dollarydoos cheaper, though they only seem to offer it in 1,000ft rolls whereas Monoprice does 500 and 1,000.
     
    Feels like hearsay recommended them over Monoprice because of the absolutely insane amount of SlimRun ethernet cables I have now (only 16 of them).
