Hey fellas, Among other updates to my system, I'm planning on making some custom cables for my sff pc. Originally I wanted to do unsleeved black silicone jacket cables because of their somewhat matte jacket, but after realizing that all cables have the ratings printed onto them, that isn't an option unless I somehow strip off the text. So that moves me onto either paracord or PET sleeving, neither look quite the same as silicone. Anyone got some opinions on what route I should go with? Aiming for an ultra clean look with precisely trimmed cables with colors that don't stand out too much.

Budget (including currency): 1400 max Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily gaming and a decent amount of development/large code compilations. This post might be pretty scatter brained so apologies for that. I am working on putting together and building a new mini ITX build for traveling to LAN parties and that kind of thing, but also to be my primary PC for school and software development, and a little bit of verything else from video editing to 3d work etc. I plan on getting a 3050 primarily because I hope I will be able to snag one on Thursday, but I know its not even that good of odds I get one. Anyways, lets assume for the part list I can get a 3050 for something like $300-350, because that's not my primary concern for this post. I've put together two parts lists, one Intel and one AMD. They are similar and should be roughly feature equivalent and my requirements for the motherboard are at least 5 USB A ports, WIFI, at least 2 m.2 NVME drive support, and anything else that seems super obviously necessary. I know intel boards are hard to come across right now, so that is something that I will have to be waiting on but should be doable hopefully. AMD: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rugg/saved/2wNGJx INTEL:https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rugg/saved/ympb23 So, Intel vs Amd arguments are welcome, the Intel seems superior as the processors are about the same, except I get integrated graphics, 2 pcie 4 SSDs instead of 1 pcie 4 and 1 pcie 3. I don't think a 12600k is wise because at 120 watts I'm sure the little Noctua L9 will be overwhelmed, and if I have to set aggressive power limits, I might as well do the 12(4/5)00. The intel build is actually slightly cheaper with the listed mobo, but I found a total of 3 mobos that satisfy my IO requirements: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z690M-ITXax/index.asp https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H670M-ITXax/index.asp https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z690I-AORUS-ULTRA-DDR4-rev-10#kf Some of these will put me to a higher/similar budget. Which is fine. Any recommendations on cheaper parts or whether I should do AMD/Intel are very welcome, as I'm unsure where to go from this list besides waiting on availability. Thanks.

This might have already been said, but why not alder lake? 12100f and 12400f look really good. Probably the fastest CPU's of any lined up in this video. And I know Linus is so into talking about upgrade paths, you have the option of saving up and getting an even better 13th gen Intel CPU later down the line, that upgrade would probably be faster than even AMD's best AM4 CPU (5800X3D). Yes the motherboards are more expensive than a feature-equivalent AMD board which might be a problem, but even in the video Linus picked a $90 mobo, and the lowest end "okay" Intel boards can be got for only $20 more.

Their official site is hosted via GitHub pages too. There is essentially zero security risk to anything of it. Btw this tool is just command line based but its pretty simple to get going. http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html Or the github releases page https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases All you have to do is type a command line this from the command line youtube-dl.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFDmtjNiwSE And it will grab a mp4 for you. There are many configuration options via command flags too. For more control you're going to want to look at the whole list of options. https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/tree/2021.02.10#output-template.

The youtube-dl software hosted on github is open source and has tons of contributors. You can trust it. Web based stuff I'd be suspcious of.

They don't have the money to do it, they just have the ability to spawn the money they need. Exactly my point about modern monetary policy.

Debt would beg to differ. Well, on second though considering this modern monetary policy who cares just print money give it out who cares, build all the infrastructure!

It's just usually pretty price inefficient to buy keycap sets is all I'm saying. There's plenty of reasons to just buy new keycaps but idk what the budget is or what OP is working with right now.

I think this is expected behavior, in all core workloads its better to run all the cores as fast as they can instead of most slow and one fast. If you want to optimize single core speed run single core tasks.

I'd argue you should get just a new keyboard. Unless you are very attached to your current one. If you buy a brand new one it's gonna last a lot longer and hopefully give you more features.

The first part of this could probably be done pretty fast in some code. I'm a little confused on your second part about videos with different file sizes though.

if LaTeX is your fancy for making PDF's, the hyperref package works perfectly for me.

The problem with that is building infrastructure for high speed internet is so much more expensive per-person in these low density regions. You would need very careful regulation to retain industry's desire to expand, and idk about you but I don't have faith in government to control prices well enough.

While its unfortunate. It makes a lot of economic sense that most regions are very monopolistic. If you can start business in an area with no internet at all, why would you want to fight another company in an area that already has internet?

"Supply and demand", the likely result of a legal obligation to price control internet access would be that companies would expand even less than they already are.
