Folding phones are fragile and have nearly impossible to protect weak points, I doubt there’s a case on earth that could protect a Fold 4 from you.  Give up and trade it in for a traditional phone and put a defender case on that

Thanks I'll wait till my insurance runs out and then ditch AT&t

Thx I'll try OtterBox looking up OtterBox, I've had good experiences with them my note survived over a year and didn't break until my friend took it out of the case and dropped it.

I've tried this type of case before, it's main flaw is around the smaller screen it's thin plastic, you think OtterBox is worth trying it's like $40 cheaper than the one I was looking at so I could buy two of them. 

I have no idea what I'm doing

How are you breaking the phones so quickly?

I never had this problem until the fold, I just dropped my phone on tar and or my hardwood floor several times a week. 

Solid glass phones never seem to care about that with a solid case.

I'd recommend not breaking your phone in the first place, or getting a normal phone if you can't stop breaking the folding ones. 

 

That price looks about right, all the nice cases for that phone are $60-90 on Amazon. Makes sense, the phone folds so there's a lot more work and more expensive materials/tooling required to make a case that works. If you're worried about quality I'd look at what Otterbox has and get one of those, they're the most legit durable case maker in the business for good reason, I've never had an issue with their cases. 

Thx I'll try OtterBox looking up OtterBox, I've had good experiences with them my note survived over a year and didn't break until my friend took it out of the case and dropped it.

Also I only have $2,500 instead of $3000 in insurance, and last year when I only broke it three times I still had to live with the phone and just one for a month each time. 

And because of broken it much faster after this replacement I estimate I'm going to have to pay over $400 on top of the $100 just to have a phone that folds

Even though I have insurance I broke my Galaxy fold 3 3 times, and when I got my Galaxy fold four I broke it within a month.

I thought spending $80 on a Case would be beneficial but now that I'm looking for a new one I found it for $30

When I look it up on YouTube I just find a bunch of sponsored results and that's exactly how I got this case.

Those sponsored videos points towards this, a $90 case. I don't really want to spend $90 on a case just to find out in 30 days that it's 50% off and completely useless.

the founder cards have a way to pass air thow it still bad for sli but w/e... so in this build it looks to just rotate the cpu cooler to benefit from it in bottom out the top. cooler master case was best at this well having 2x 200mm fans on the bottom. this makes it so you can have a solid front for thows people want want it... and we could still keep the stander ram layout of vertical apos too the btx were there horizontal. air flow is important as well as parts that are designed to use it.

 

that being said we haven't even scratched the surface of whats posable because they do things as cheap as posable not for best performance. 

 

where can i buy this? i wanna make the most useless pc part picker list, with everything that could posibly increse my fps from this to rgb to xeon phi

its hard to find a discount code by searching for it on YouTube

You say that, but you can save a ton of money through your private disco. No entry fees and the booze will be way cheaper.

nah my rgb is a better upgrade cuz it improves the thurmals more than the fans

You could buy something thats completely useless for your application like an Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor card. That would be even worse than fans

i could use that for something though, i cant run mincreaft on fans

I've been thinking about it for days and then this video comes out and the coolers just so small so maybe the fans are a better investment

I bet the Biggest probably was the bad controller, so a modern replacement and maybe a raid card would improve it to where it might make sense.

That way you could have parody storage, and it would be cheaper than ssds at least with 128 gb ssd cards

I just checked the price cuz I have enough money saved up and pc partpicker has 3060s from 420-450$ and I'm not sure if a new generation is about to come out or something.

I also probably need to upgrade my power supply 

EVGA 750 B5, 80 Plus BRONZE 750W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply 220-B5-0750-V1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084R89CJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_GPXQJ8N2T2DMSVT1AGQJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Took me too long to find the listing in my Amazon history

I've got a fold 3 and was wondering if an official charger would be Any faster cuz I spend alot of time outside.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FCCN6CP/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_XAZCEJ9SYKMB6B65C85B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've got this one it's GaN pd 3.0 quick charge 3 

If the switch controller is paired to another switch does it prevent me from pairing it to mine?

Thanks now I can actually search for what I'm looking for

Yep. 

Molex even invented DMS-59, so we've got that to scream at them thank them for. I've got several cables lying around labeled Molex. Most internal but a few not. 

I think I remember my father calling every connector in this computer 4 or 8 pin molex, but I haven't heard the term since for anything other than the connectors used for hard drives before SATA power

Calling game controllers remotes just because their wireless

I assume the original Xbox that has this feature but I prefer not to use it cuz of its age, plus it would be kind of stupid to pay $100 for feature that sounds like it should be included on TV that's already smart. 

I mean wouldn't it be awesome to have your switch or any console taking up 85% of your screen but you can have Netflix or something off in top right corner.

spoiler regular heat sinks won by a landslide because of the heat pipes, and I get that the tubes for the water coolers are basically replacing the heat pipes. 

But water cooler still have a copper heat plate, and that's the downside, I don't see any reason why you can't replace the heat plate with 6 + heat pipes in a larger chamber above the CPU.

This would also increase the amount of water with barely less access to the heat coming out of the CPU.

For example 2000 watt LEDs the size of a threadripper CPU doesn't actually need fancy channels or heat pipes to stay cooled, just a larger surface area means that a flat copper plate and the large amount of water sitting on top of it is enough to keep it cool.

I found on reddit that Linux doesn't like the default setting in the bios on ryzen for power on idle and It didn't fix it.

Sometimes when doing nothing or pressing alt tab the desktop freezes, but applications don't. And the mouse works.

Restarting fixes it but it happens in les ls than a few min

I'm assuming the desktop is frozen, an easy fix on windows, ctrl alt del task manager close the start menue and restart it.

The only thing I can do is alt-f4

Alt f2 open terminal nothing

the top bar no reaction

Alt tab nothing

sorry if I'm dumb and missing something obvious

I use computers to heat my room during winter. Folding with few GPUs is enough.

I live in Finland so we have quite cold winters

I saw a South African YouTuber, they don't have an insulation standard there so he used a room heater to heat his room during the winter. 

Eventually he replaced is 500 watt room heater with a 500 w computer and it did the trick plus made money overnight.

I'll admit that somewhat inspired this

It's a silly question.

What's in the computer matters, what produces heat.

 

fans bring colder air from outside the case, the air is pushed through radiators and heatsinks and gets warmed (heat moves from metal fins and heatsinks into the air) and then the warmer air goes out the case.

Warm air rises, so the air closer to the top of your room would be warmer than the air at the bottom... that's why it may take a long time until you'd notice your room heating up from a single computer or something that consumes little power.

 

Sorry I didn't think I needed to explain the question in detail, because 1000 Watts far drives should produce the same heat as a thousand watt of gpus.

So I'll rephrase the question, how many watts of computers would it take to heat a small house in the winter. That way it could be scaled up if somebody had a bigger house.

And would it be better to crypto mine or set up cloud servers.
