Honestly I don't know which is worse that proprietary connector shit or the fact it's a bit dusty

Also what Optiplex has a 32 bit PCI slot sandwiched between two x16 PCIe? 

 

And when it comes to tech gore I've seen someone snap the screen off their Chromebook. Saw someone with a similar laptop with a 180 hinge and tried it for themselves. Now their hinge is 360 degrees and can be seperated a few inches from the laptop. 

I clean it quarterly. 

Oracle (Java and web based), Massive Excel file (5806x16 cells), LTT/Discord. i5-7500. Not too bad. 8 gig single stick of ram. 2133. Optiplex 7050.

closest I can think of is those "microwave your phone" scams leading to the death of both

When there's no bosses around I'll grab a video of some fun microwave stuff. Dome lights light up. Ford and Dodge lights catch fire (too much plastic) 

You give man children millions of dollars worth of heavy equipment, it's going to get used in fun ways. We've figured out how to get counter steer on a Toyota forklift.

A few years ago I made a simple forklift battle Unity game. Probably lost to time but perhaps it is on some old drive. It looked and played like, well, something a 12 year old would make, but I recall it was 2 players splitscreen or you vs bots that sorta worked. Started on opposite sides of an arena and first to stab the other or something wins.

That's great! Forklifts can be a lot of fun with little enough supervision. 

 

We had to clean and sanitize our parts washer. Apparently someone tried to turn it into a toilet.

when you start a new "game" you're given a basic quest, which you could finish in the first few prompts. after that it's just "do what ever you like" more like a sandbox as opposed to a game with set out objective.

Your quest, if you choose to accept it, is to go to the post office and pick up the parcel that they didn't deliver for me. After your quest is complete you can do whatever you want.

Wow. They're still smarter than people who copy and paste the same topic in multiple subforums.

Did you see the thread a while ago where someone put "144p gaming" as the title and literally admitted to writing that instead of 1440p in the title as clickbait

That is sad and hilarious. Don't know what reaction I should have for that. Like what the hell how do you kill a GPU in 14.5 months... when I'm here with some 14.5 year old GPUs that work... 

Like if you pay that much for a 3090 why destroy it either accidentally or worse intentionally?

Hey I heard about this watercooling thing, can't be that hard right?

That might be reparable in the area. 

Yeah there doesn't seem to be any critical stuff there other than power and maybe a few aux signals, but never know if there's a dozen impedance-controlled lines in a midplane...

 

If someone gave it to me for free I'd give it a try, but not much more. Best would be to have another card of the same model as reference too...

I hope everyone has had a good day so far.
To sum up my morning I've been busy with some crap today about my livestream machine, getting it ready to go in a few hours to stream a livefeed of me OC'ing (Blowing shit up ) on Ln2.
Added a second drive, had to swap the PSU out because the old one was acting up and then had to run out and get the dewar topped off and make things ready for later today.
That's now my day has gone so far and maybe it will end well too, esp if the feed and system does OK.

Wish me luck - I (And the hardware) will need it!

[Beerzerker]

If they were using a stick instead of a wire that's not half-bad at all.

where do you stream? twitch.tv?

Twitch and you didn't miss anything except glorious failure this time - And I mean it was glorious.
NOTHING worked and coudn't even get a run to go, believe the board is the culprit and the chip I was trying probrably isn't the best either but hoping I can find the good one so next time I can show you guys something.
