    Adorable Cat reacted to Airbax in is it possible to destroy the system through an ssd connected on the PSU?   
    See the picture below. Basically I connected the ssd to this cable

    Adorable Cat got a reaction from Latvian Video in No 24-pin   
    was this previous computer a pre built one? people like hp and dell like to manufacture e waste by making their power supplies useless on everything else.
     
    If it was anold computer and has a 20 pin instead of a 24 pin it should still work, I just wouldn't recommend using a power supply that old

    something like https://www.amazon.com/100-240V-Transformers-Switching-Applications-Connectors/dp/B077PW5JC3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=12v+power+supply&qid=1634073766&sr=8-3 would be a real cheap way to do it, you don't need like a pc power supply.

    Adorable Cat got a reaction from GuiltySpark_ in What are these noctua plugs for? (Noctua NF-14 PWM)   
    does it look like this? (without the boxi just copied it from an amazon listing)

    Those are fan splitters, they let you connect multiple fans to the same fan header on your mobo (in case you have too many fans or not enough mobo headers or whatever else)

    Is the cooler loose? High temperatures = might want to check the cooler.

    Adorable Cat got a reaction from RONOTHAN## in Unable to get into BIOS (ASUS ProArt B550-CREATOR)   
    is anything else plugged into the usb ports? "USB Device Over Current Status Detected ! !" sounds like either something attached to the usb port is broken or the usb ports themselves are broken/shorted.

    Folding@home is a network of volunteer computers distributed around the world that aims to perform biomedical research with the single intent of helping to further understand and develop cures for a range of diseases such as; Alzheimer's, cancer, and Parkinson's. The exact research that is done is simulating the 'folding' of proteins in the body, this is important because the function of a protein id directly related to its physical shape. And this, when the protein is created in the body it needs to reshuffle its shape to get into the correct structure to perform its task. Many illnesses can be linked to faulty proteins in the body such as many cancers and neurological issues, along with a wide number of other general health concerns. This network if compared with the TOP500 list of supercomputers would outclass every single entry on the list, Folding@home has been of the fastest computing systems in the world, reaching a speed of over 2.1 petaFLOPS. 
     
    If you are wondering what exactly has been done with all this computing power then you can check out the papers written by the scientists and researchers that use the folding network, I will warn you though many of them are very in depth reads and in turn this means they are often fairly technical.
    https://foldingathome.org/papers-results/
     
    To qualify for badges you must meet the minimum requirements for participation which for this event will be as follows minimum requirements: 500k points, 40WUs, and 20 days of activity over the course of the whole month. This is subject to change for future events as we find out what the sweet spot is to include as many people as possible but not make it too easy to just get a free badge. 
     
    PASSKEYS! (they're really important)
     
    Don't forget to get yourself a passkey from the link below to ensure that you hit the points requirement, the passkey is a feature that was added a while ago to the Folding Client that helps to authenticate each user on the network, an added bonus of this is the fact that it allows you to qualify for QRB(Quick Return Bonus) Points, QRBs are extra points you earn for submitting work units more quickly, such as if you have faster hardware or let the client fold full time, rather than on idle. QRB credit is awarded after 10 WUs have been submitted. You can get your passkey from the link below.

    RULES
    Please remember that this is the first event that will be governed by the new rules, these rules were first discussed at the end of last folding month and will be in effect for the duration of the event.
     
    Failing to meet the minimum requirements.
     
    Publicly discussing the administration of the event;

    Signing up to the event with a folding identity that is believed to not be your own.
     
    Signing up to the event with more than one folding identity.
     
    Conducting yourself in a manner that is believed to be not in the spirit of the event, this includes but not limited to the below;
    purposefully only meeting the minimum requirements, acting to undermine the integrity of the event, to attempt to cause division within the community. 
     
    Breaking any one of these rules will result in a disqualification from the event. It is also important to know that there is no appeal process for disqualifications. 
     
     
     
    This is just a PSA for the new guys here, the folding team is a small close knit community, so here's a few things I'd like you all to keep in mind. It doesn't hurt to say thank you, if someone has genuinely helped you out don't forget to drop a reaction on their posts, help others where ever you can and finally we are a team first and always. 
     
    Check your stats out here! Bare in mind it can take some time for your first WUs to appear so leave it a day or two.

    Adorable Cat got a reaction from KKLawrence in Are these worth it? Help me choose the right one (not) to buy   
    with a 6700XT I'd get the Optix MAG322CQR-002 because you definitely have the gpu power to run it at 1440p, Unless you really want 240HZ for like ultra competitive gaming idk. 165HZ refresh rate is pretty good too, and the Optix MAG322 or whatever also seems to have the same brightness as the acer one (I think, I can't read german but I assume both of them say 300 cd/m^2)

    Adorable Cat reacted to svmlegacy in Resolder the heatpipe on a laptop? Possible?   
    Assuming there's no damage to the heat pipe itself (very questionable), you'll need to use some kind of thermal adhesive. If the heat pipe is still working, it will be completely impossible to solder that.

    have you tried inserting the drive the other way? it looks like the keying (the little slots in the drive) match up that way.

    I haven't even read all the way through or watched the video but wanna say thanks for making a guide on how to set up your own personal VPN. I've tried tons of times with openVPN but have just never managed to get it to work, so I'm excited to see if this'll work for me.

    My thoughts
    Honestly I'd never heard of him until seeing this news, but seeing someone who had such a profound impact on computing pass away is always depressing. Love them or hate them, PDFs are pretty much ubiquitous everywhere you look, and while they have their downsides they definitely get the job done better than a lot of alternatives.
