I'm gonna have to side with Dr mac here. With 10 and 8 both now, there's a lot of steps involved to delay or defer updates indefinitely, where with mac it never forces me to restart or move to anything new by default. AT MOST it will pester me. Systems I have that are not on LTSB or a customized version of 10 have had problems with large automatic update changes many times now. Default 10 doesn't allow customization of auto updates almost at all, and actively ignores group policy on it. LTSB has all the options and will accept group policy, so it's pretty clear how malicious MS's stance on this is, since they made a version that you can control.

For anyone that want this case like I do- One tip to making builds like this is to cut the sleeving off of the PSU cables, makes them more agreeable and separable to go around things. If you want to really go for it, you can actually just shorten the cables. It's quite easy if you take your time and dont be stupid. I've done this because traditionally, I've used 1u server power supplies that I'd already have to open to place a quieter fan inside, and those come with longer cables. The quieter fans are jank, once I worked with a 750w? unit that really needed airflow because I was using a lot of its total load, and I basically cut holes in the side and crammed multiple slim and quiet 40mm fans instead of one loud one (in push not pull. Super sketch). Those 40mm fans just have a tone to them that makes even quiet ones are quite noticeable. My switch got a 5v 40mm noctua fan that I really had to power down quite a bit, and it's still the loudest thing in the room, though a much more acceptable low drone. To be honest, consider a build with external power. Bricks only go to the 300w range(and you'll need a dc-dc converter) and some of the enthusiast dual gpu laptop crowd used to link 2 together to get enough power for overclocking, so there's parts for that out there. One thing I helped someone come up with on a forum long ago was a high powered 1u unit- just used that as a brick. Took the essential power (from rails) over a few cables they soldered to it, in a thick rubber sleeve and connected it to the case with some connector they bought from digi key (I was only responsible for suggesting the idea and helping find a good connector, they did rest). Those loud 40mm fans are way better shoved behind a desk or something, and it's still portable- you can cram that in a backpack easy. It's not really much bigger than a fatt laptop brick.

I dont care. Before there was NO option for this, AMD or NVIDIA. It's stupid, because it's an artificial limitation, yes. I am actually able to force this on the linux drivers. Since the first 1440p screen I have waited for fucking integer scaling. And no, it's not up to date, but the 1080 is still my newest GPU.

TBH I'd rather deal with the potential of a battery fire than another Chrysler. Burning to death might actually be a preferable alternative if my income were high enough.

YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSS! This should have been an option 10 years ago, and it's nice to see that AMD and NVIDIA are actually getting to it.

Yep. I have them. Started this a few months ago. Fucking infuriated me. I have to pay to rent a ROUTER (not a modem!). The have an outdoor modem that brings it into the house as ethernet. They started forcing a rental fee, and just...added it on. Now keep in mind they are not like comcast who just raises you bill and adds fees for no reason, so it really surprised me. Basically the reason I keep them is they dont have a bandwidth cap that I Have to pay 30 extra to remove, and their speed are actually symmetric.

If it gives you an idea, I just sold a couple of new switches earlier this year with fuses the size of sausages, and they'll only run one piece of equipment. Rated to a 60hp motor I think. You can run production off of backup power unless you have lines from 2 utility providers, even then it's often not practical to set that up.

sold like 10 I mined myself when one gpu was enough for 11$ because I was like "oh wow they're worth actual money now". I think we all have some form of bitcoin regret

A packet of stuff like this

oh no he's going to sell that thing he made for money god help us

do not sand they will peel away. Clean. But while I think it's shitty to be out of spec in normal living conditions in a normal place, I understand why. Though IMO parts like this should be able to withstand high humidity. I dont think that would put it in the "rugged" category. People live by the ocean and have that salty air. Hell even here in Indiana our humidity gets over 80 in the mornings by average, higher days in actuality It is possible that you can clean the contacts carefully and it may work, who knows. Pics would be cool.
