It's not a dumb idea. It's a hand-made high-end product that is for the enthusiast. Like a $250 backpack or a $70 screwdriver. "If you need to ask the price, it's not for you" type product. Except this one is hand made by a small team, not mass produced in a Chinese factory. Had it been tested on the equipment it was designed for, and showed its actual performance, the outcome could have been framed in that light. 99.9% of the audience would not have been the market for this piece, but that 0.1% that are both wealthy and enthusiast could have seen a new thing to set their next build apart.

Made it to shorts!

Yes, but it will forget a few moments later.

Or, even worse so, mainstream media :shudder:

He drew a grid on paper behind the tank. Used a camera and some software to interpret. Whenever a fish stopped, or turned (staying in one spot long enough) it would trigger that button push. The game crashed, and through random button presses opened the nintendo eshop, and showed the saved payments page. If you watch the video you can see it happen.

As long as you ground yourself regularly (and you have a wrist strap, so you will be constantly) - the surfaces you're sitting/standing/building on have no bearing on ESD danger. You're grounded. You're good.

Imagine if the fish managed to open a browser and started viewing adult content live on stream. That would have been hilarious and horrible at the same time.

Japanese YouTuber Mutekimaru set up his pet fish to control a Nintendo switch to try to get the fish to complete Pokemon Scarlet and Violet through random chance. The game crashed, and the fish's random motions ensured a bunch of havoc: showing the owner's credit card information, purchasing eShop credits, an avatar, and N64 Emulator, changing the account name, and triggering paypal emails. This is what one gets for connecting a payment-linked device to a non-sapient creature. While hilarious, it did reveal his credit card info to his viewers. The story doesn't mention if any of the viewers attempted fraud, but it wouldn't surprise me if one of them had tried.

The difference is that you didn't create a brand and make a living off the name, she did. Only to have it taken by a TV show, destroying all of her search engine optimization, and causing her to be inundated with death threats.

Lydia Ellery is now considering changing her online handles due to hate mail, lost work, because Netflix's Squid Game has destroyed her brand. My thoughts I'm curious if a trademark case could be brought. Can a username be a trademark? She's obviously losing out on income because this Netflix show used her name, one she's had for over a decade.

It's actually really real. Check the sources on the OP.

I was just coming to post this. I hope LTT can get one for review, lol..

One thing I learned from this experience is that: Yes, a Vega 64 Strix OC + Ryzen 3600 CAN function as a space heater. I had to turn off the heat in my room, and just let my PC do the work. With the heater on and folding, my room was hitting 80-84degF. With the heater off while folding, I was still maintaining a nice 73-74degF. When the WU's wouldn't come and my machine went idle, my room would drop to 62-64degF. Going from Idle to full load, it took about 1.5 hours to warm back up to the 70's lol. 1.2-1.4 million PPD (the 3600 alone pulls about 200k ppd)

Lets say we have a rackmount server or two collecting dust, is there a way to donate those to work as workunit servers? I know Linus et.al were in discussions with the F@H team to fire up a new work unit server or two, but is there a way for the average joe with 12 core servers and 100mbps connections to do the same?

I've done it once or twice lol... Mostly personal servers. But even regular DDR2 was hot stuff. There's a reason you'll find a LOT of interesting coolers for DDR2, such as this old gem: https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-amcooling-kit-fan-heatsinks/p/N82E16835116004?Item=N82E16835116004
