Oh don't get me wrong, this GPU is a damn beast! It's just a pity it has 'titan X' written all over it when it really isn't.

Have you confirmed that UPS offers pure sine wave?  If it doesn't, it kicking on will likely cause your computer to just shut off anyway since it will reject the squarewave AC

No, it does not. Why do I need that, and why wouldn’t that be standard for a UPS anyway?

Most modern PSUs (from what I've heard) are very picky about the power they receive (my guess is so that they can do power factor correction) and so if they get the choppy output of a non-sinewave UPS, they will just shut off.

Then how come my PSU doesn’t have a problem with my cheap outlet and 3-way? Is it already in sinewave form? If sinewave is the norm, why would a PSU output square wave on battery backup? o.O

It's just an easier way to do it I think.  My understanding is that unless a UPS is marked with "PFC sinewave" or something like that, it doesn't do it.

Okay, I cancelled my order for that UPS, but the PFC-compatible model with the same 1000VA/600W costs $40 more :/

 

What would be a good wattage UPS for a system that draws under 150W at any time?

That should be fine.  I have a 600W/1000VA on a system that peaks about 300W

What about this one? This PFC-compatible one costs the same as the non-PFC 1kVA/600W.

That should be good.  The one I have is the next step up on sale for $100 :D

Was a $19 USD find at BestBuy. Didn't even know 128 GB USB 2.0 Drives existed. Would've assumed 128 GB would be exclusive to USB 3.0.

Sim only tariff upgrade.

 

Old - £22 pm for 600 mins, unlimited texts and data, but only 8 Gb hotspot.

 

New - £23 pm for 200 mins, unlimited texts and data, and 30 Gb hotspot.

 

Also I should be able to get it reduced to £21 pm as that's a current offer for existing customers that I wasn't aware of when upgrading.

 

Still using my trusty Lumia 925, it does everything I need - 4G internet, GPS, decent camera. And since its a Nokia it should still last a long time.

Since I have a number of 4pin Balanced XLR cables for my cans, I sometimes feel a tad lazy to swap out cables from 4pin Balanced XLR to 6.3mm SE ones, so I decided to get this. A simple plug-in cable adapter from 4pin Blanaced to SE....yes, I'm that lazy.

It depends on your PSU as well though.  Some will be OK with the square wave but most modern ones will not.  There was a video where Linus talked about this, let me see if I can find it...
