    XR6 got a reaction from Lfc in Corsair RX850 vs TX850M   
    Yes, it's better. 
    The RM. Also, fyi it doesn't matter where the fan and capacitors are from, that doesn't affect their quality at all. The Corsair fan was probably made in China, as was the PSU itself.

    XR6 reacted to minibois in Is ip logging legal?   
    As per the GDPR, someone's IP is their personal information. To acquire personal information, you need explicit consent that you're gathering information.
    I am just guessing you did not ask for their permission, which means you are in violation of the GDPR when logging their IP.
     
    So even without going into the morals of threatening and intimidating minors, you're doing some wrong stuff.

    "it's a prank bro" is the worst fucking excuse I've ever heard.
     
     
    You know what you did. You know it was wrong.

    Well stopping is all you can do as it's already happened, so yeah I'd recommend just not doing that in the future. Not trying to tell you what you can and can't do, just saying it's not such a good idea (but you may have figured that out yourself).

    I can't find a definitive yes/no answer on this so I can't say if it's legal or illegal but honestly, I don't see the point in it in the first place.
    If I were you I'd just stop doing this. Not much point in it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    for someone that admitted they were wrong, you sure are trying hard to make it seem like you're not at fault.
     
    You came to ask a question, you didn't get the answer you wanted, now you're at the backpedaling and feigning ignorance stage. You were thinking this thread was going to have "lol, nah what you did is fine, those people are dumb" type comments. 
     
    Yes, you're 16 and not what most of society would classify as "mature" but it's also old enough to gauge what's right or wrong. You need to learn accountability and think about more than just yourself.
     
    And please never use "it was just a joke/it's just a prank" as an excuse for anything in life again. It's about as believable as "It was my brother on my account"

    You were IP logging.. don't fucking do something without knowing the consequences of your actions. Ignorance of the law will not save you in court.
    It's better if you and your friend stop doing this immediately before you regret it even more.

    The Pro wheels will have brakes on them, so your newly-mobile 10,000 dollar pride-and-joy doesn't one day decide that it wants to go walkies down the stairs.

    They're Mac Pro only. But I wouldn't be surprised if they released a "Pro" version of the wheels at double the price.

    XR6 got a reaction from Elisis in Corsair RX850 vs TX850M   
    Exactly. In fact, it's not just Corsair. Most PSUs are made in China from Chinese and sometimes Taiwanese parts. Apart from that, they're all made in Taiwan (except for a few PSUs like the Cooler Master MIJ).
    Same goes for basically every other computer part. They're mostly made in China now. The rest are made in Taiwan.
    Made in China =/= bad product

    XR6 reacted to Elisis in Corsair RX850 vs TX850M   
    Having so-called "lower tier" caps is a nonissue at best, especially if given a relatively non-vital role, as is the case here.
  14. Agree
    XR6 reacted to Elisis in Corsair RX850 vs TX850M   
    Technically, almost all Corsair power supplies are entirely Chinese sourced... Chinese doesn't mean bad quality.

    Nichicon is just a brand. ASUS is also reputed as high quality, yet i have had many issues with their products. branding doesn't mean jack shit

    RM is better, but the RMx would be even better.
    Do you actually need 850W though?

    Pointing out avoidable flaws in products that all happen to be made by the same company = hating the company
     
     
     
    Yeah seems legit. And I just fucking hate Seagate hard drives because I decided to, not that literally every single one I have bought or owned has arrived completely dead or died way, WAY before it should have even started to show signs of failing. I just woke up one day and said "ya know what, I hate Seagate!". Yeah, that seems right.

    Let me mention some awesome things about apple.
     
    Failing butterfly keyboards,
    Torn display flex cables,
    Exploding TB3 controllers,
    Dysfunctional fuzes
    Sending 50v to the CPU when in a humid room,
    Running at 100*C cause cooling is hard,
    Asking 2000$ for an SSD upgrade,
    Encrypting soldered SSDs and removing lifeboat connector so as to make data recovery impossible,
    "Fixing" a desoldered chip by putting a piece of rubber on it.
    Making iMAc Power Suuply that can kill you when cl among it (no shielding)
    Making a bendable phone before it was cool (6s)
    Making a bendable tablet before it was cool (iPad from a year or two ago)
    Quoting ridiculous prices to fix working electronics that only need a bit of cleaning.
     
    Stop rabbiting about Apple, use your brain and see that the trillion dollar company deserves to be called out.

    You can not give him a admin accounts, removes most of the big issues he could cause.
     
    Or just teach him how to deal with issues if they happen, and to keep good backups, and reinstall if something goes really bad.

    Change the DNS on that PC to 1.1.1.3 .
     
    This will block malware and adult sites, so the teen won't be able to visit those "sites" and get infected with some viruses. They will hate you for that, most likely, but hey, at least the PC will be safe. 🤷‍♂️😂

    I'd love to get a carbone one and do a patina on it... Also would love to get another maxamet or higher carbon percentage blade and do a patina... Spyderco knives are a great bang for the buck too. I paid $110 for mine, s30v solid metal liners with G10 and the ball bearing lock...

    I bought an Opinel N°08 Carbon about 2 weeks ago.
    First impressions: It's brilliant. It's a really high quality knife and it's just a pleasure to use. When I use it I forget I paid just £8.60 for it because it feels like I should've paid at least £30 for this, if not more. It's all metal and wood, no plastic anywhere. If you're looking for an affordable knife, I'd recommend it.
    Also, I bought a Pentium 4 PC (it's a prebuilt, nothing particularly special). I'll edit this post once it arrives tomorrow, as I'll have pictures then. I'll also add a picture of the Opinel tomorrow.
