Mr. Cucumber reacted to Niklos in OS and Software on separate SSD?
I personnaly decided to put my games and my OS on separate SSD's. Actualy, I have 3 SSD :
1) For OS, NVMe
2) For My documents / My download / My savegames etc...
3) For games
One of my SATA drive crashed a couple days ago, so I replaced it with the NVMe one. I reinstalled the OS.
All of my games were still playable without having to reinstall them. But most of them are from BNet or Steam... So that might explain it.
Anyways, I don't feel like my computer goes faster or anything but, if one disk crashes for some reason, I still have some of stuff that is working. (I also backup everything every once in a while, just in case.
So, yes, I would says that having softs and OS on separate SSDs makes sence. But more for "safety" than for speed.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to homeap5 in OS and Software on separate SSD?
Your SSD will last forever. At least for you and most of users. Why? Because after few years you change it to something else, like everybody does.
How many times in your life do you bought drives that should "work forever and I'll never need anything more?". I bet few times and that was always a lie.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to Lorant in OS and Software on separate SSD?
Use the fast drives for what you want to speed up.
Your post talked more about separating things than any speed questions, but I boot off SATA SSD and game off SATA SSD. NVMe won't give your OS faster booting, so use any SSD for that.
Unless you do huge ass file movement NVMe doesn't provide a big benefit, it's okay to go either.

You should use your SSD drive (or nvme) as much as possible. You paid for it, not for empty space on it. Of course you may keep your free space under 80% if you want to keep your ssd speed at highest level, but you can also use overprovisoning and stop carrying about free space.
You should start worrying about performance if you notice that something is wrong.

Mr. Cucumber got a reaction from Lurick in SFP+ for short distance?
I made a mistake (it is a 300m MMF tranceiver)
Thanks for pointing it out

Mr. Cucumber reacted to beersykins in SFP+ for short distance?
As per others, where do you see 20km? The part number listed is for MMF optics.
Twinax can be cheap if buying new, but since you already have optics you could probably swap for a MMF patch and just call it done.

I mean, I prefer fiber but for such a short run DAC is an option. Just make sure you buy the correct type otherwise it may not work at all.

You can try this and do what @OlympicAssEater suggested.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to Oshino Shinobu in Why are BenQ monitors special?
BenQ has a very good track record in most areas but especially their gaming monitors. Most other brands, such as Acer and Asus have had multiple quality issues with their monitors, such as high dead pixel rate and backlight bleeding.
I believe a lot of Esports tournaments use BenQ monitors. Their reliability may be part of the reason why.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to Tristerin in Debian 10 minimum requirements
Id say try it! I just put Manjaro on a i7 620m with 2gb of ram, on a spinning 300gb HDD - LEAPS and BOUNDS better than a window OS - worst case is it wont work
-
Mr. Cucumber reacted to Slottr in Debian 10 minimum requirements
It will run, but I'm assuming not super well
I'd try something closer to lubuntu or tiny core

Mr. Cucumber reacted to AngryBeaver in Wet tissue cooling....
This isn't true. Condensation will only form if your temp is below the dew point. You can find your dew point fairly easy with any online calculator provided you know the temp and humidity of your room.
You could also just buy a cheap thermometer that gives you that information.
For example if your temp is 70f and you have 50% humidity your component temp would need to be below 50.5f for condensation to form.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to Windows7ge in Wet tissue cooling....
I figured that's what you were getting at. Now try it with alcohol. May result in better results.
Edit:
May also result in fire so isolate it and have a fire extinguisher nearby.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to nick name in Strange request. Need to keep the liquid in a liquid cooling system under 35c.
I believe air conditioning will get the job done. But I'm guessing that isn't what you mean.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to Mira Yurizaki in Flash data retention.....
I've heard plugging it in once in a while, maybe doing a scan for errors is enough to stave off cold-storage data loss. But it's good to do that anyway just to make sure your data is still viable.

Mr. Cucumber reacted to BrinkGG in Flash data retention.....
As far as I'm aware, Flash storage is actually better at cold storage (sitting without power) then spinning storage. It's the price per amount that forces most high capacity storage to remain on spinning disks.
