long story short, i want to cool something off using 2 140mm PWM fans that i have lying around. i have a 12v power source that i will be using to power the fans. the fan speed will be controlled by a potentiometer. my question is; which wire on the PWM plug to i connect to positive wire, and which one to negative? and can i leave the other 2 wires disconnected? or will i need to do something funky for this to work?

any of the sony xperia 1 line up (although probably the V since its the newest) that phone is designed for the enthusiasts. it has usb 3.0, a 3.5 jack, great quality camera, that can easily be accessed by hitting the power button twice. the camera has actual real camera settings. camera settings like shutter speed and exposure. i had no idea how much i wanted those settings in a phone till i got my sony. and since this phone is meant for the creators, its default screen color settings is not vivid. it even has a white balance setting and you can manually adjust the colors how you see fit. the screen is longer with is great for reading articles, yet skinny so i can easily use one hand when typing. it doesn't have a lot of bloatware (it has some, but not nearly as much as others) its fast and snappy. has 120hz refresh rate screen. security updates is supported for at least 4 years. there is no notch/camera bump on the screen. also it has a very cool feature that if you plug it in to charge at night, it will charge slowly to preserve the battery. and yes you can turn this off. i love my sony phone.

i looked into it. its a beautiful phone and i am in love. but it cost $1000. and one of the reviews i read on reddit just now said that is has an overheating problem. which scares me a little.

i have been using my Samsung s9 for years with no issues. i recently broke it beyond repair and i don't like the newer phones available so i was going to buy another s9. that is when i learned that i am not the only one who really likes this phone. they are going for $350-$450. thats a little much for an old phone. so, are there any phones that has a headphone jack and no stupid screen notch? i also want it to have similar or better specs to the s9. also around the same size (i don't like big phones) i'm willing to buy refurbished.

UPDATE: a friend of mine showed me how to use event viewer and this is what popped up. all those errors roughly lines up with times my computer crashes. they are all the same error. 0xc0000188 i have no idea what this error is complaining about but there seems to be 2 solutions on the internet and i am going to try both.

it crashed again last night i find it weird that every time i try something the computer will be stable for a few days then it starts crashing again couple times a day.

updated the firmware. now the waiting game begins again.

i appreciate your concern. and also i fully agree with this video. we will not be using the tablet as a babysitter and he will not be on it all day either. he currently gets 1 hour of screen time a day, he decides when he can spend that time, and he usually doesn't use it all in one go. he gets bored after a while and goes back to playing with his toys. he usually watches construction trucks, garbage truck, or train compilations on the TV. games on this tablet will count towards that 1 hour max. the exception will be in June when my family and i will be traveling (flying) to europe. during the 16 hour flight we need to keep him occupied and the tablet will be one tool of many. we will also be bringing other toys, and lots of books. (he loves books) the tablet can also be used for him to listen to music on his bluetooth headphones. something he already does, except we play the music through our (my wife and i) phone.

i have a 2.5 year old son who loves solving problems and playing with cars and blocks. we are about to go on a long trip so i decided to get a samsung tablet and load it with fun puzzle games for him to play with during the trip. i downloaded a few to try out and all of them were terrible. they had some of the worst in your face micro transactions, predatory pay-to-unlock, or other in-app purchases i had ever seen. (seriously, the fact that they are doing this to kids this young is bad). so i am asking the community; what are some good tablet games for a 2 year old that does not have in-your-face pay wall. i am willing to pay a few buck up front to get the whole game if the app is worth it, but no in-app purchases. i do not care if there are ads because the tablet will be offline whenever he is playing with it. so no ads.

sabrent rocket 4 plus 1TB NVMe m.2. i use the exact same drive but at 500GB in my linux server which is running 24/7 and had no issues. still its possible.

what raid controller do you have?

update time; saturday and sunday my pc has been perfectly stable, but monday and today (tuesday) it has been crashing again. so it looks like expo isn't the cause. i can memtest86 last night, (that bloody test took 5 hours) and it came back with 0 errors. what should i look at next? thank you so much for helping me so far.

i turned Expo off on friday. so far it has been stable but it has only been one day. i downloaded Passmark memtest86 and will run it tomorrow. ill keep you updated. thank you for your help so far.

i did all 3 yesterday, and the computer crashed again today. so unfortunately this wasn't the problem

RDR2 seems to be the newest and hardest to run game so lets go with that. according to the video linked, you will be getting 60-90 FPS with the 3060 at 1080p. the 3060 TI is about 30%-40% faster. so about 80-120fps. thats still below the 144 Hz of your monitor. that being said, that is at maxed out settings. you can easily increase the frames to 144 by turning down a few settings. with the 3060 you will have to turn down more settings than the 3060 ti, but not that much more. the other games on your list should be easier to run and thus dont have to lower the settings much, if at all. your best bet is to go to youtube and type the name of the game you want to play, the name of the card (3060 or 3060 ti), and 1080p into search. there should be plenty of videos showing what frames they get at maxed out settings. then you can make your own decision to see if the faster 3060 TI is worth the extra cash to you. sorry i could not give you a more direct answer.
