- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 1 week ago:
I’ve gone through an FX8120, 4560k, 4790k, 1800x, 3700x, 5800x3d, and finally 9800x3d all on the same cooler. Even if I do a big upgrade why would I want to change it if it’s working fine?
Finally this weekend it’s getting demoted to my server and I’m upgrading to a D15 G2. But that’s only because I’m upgrading my server and it’s 10 year old heatsink doesn’t work on AM5.

No it’s not. 95c is the target temperature on anything 7000 series and newer. Google says the 5700x throttles at 90.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 1 week ago:
9800x3d is fine on air as lon as you get a nice cooler. I’m personally anti AIO because I don’t want to deal with the maintenance. I’m still using my NH-D14 after 15 years. Under absolute full load the CPU gets hot, but I only game on the computer so it never stays hot for long. An actually modern cooler would be plenty.
At work we have a 9950x running of a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 and under 100% load it cant maintain full boost speeds, but it hovers around its base clock speed.

I hate to break it to ya, but that pictures from like 2010. And those are SLI connectors.

If I saw that at a store I’d 100% pick it up.
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 3 weeks ago:
There’s plenty of garbage M.2 ssds out there with only 1 nand chip for 1TB. Pretty much any time you sort by price low to high you’ll see some of the most dire SSDs you’ve ever seen in your life. They suck too, quad chip ones are almost guaranteed to be lightyears faster.
- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 1 month ago:
If it’s for new customers only the. Why do they advertise it in the program for paid users? I’m tired of seeing ads for things I can’t even take advantage of.
- Comment on Definitely how it went for me 1 month ago:
Digital codes are so much nicer. Well in theory, until they show random invalid codes.
- Comment on Definitely how it went for me 1 month ago:
Apart from the front panel connectors on a motherboard, of course. Those fiddly little bastards can get straight to hell.
Wait till you see this. Fucking game changing.
- Comment on If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day? 1 month ago:

Looks like there’s an issue installing the extended support updates should you subscribe to it. So it makes sense to just give everyone the update.
- Comment on If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day? 1 month ago:
What are the updates? Is it Windows getting the update, or Windows defender/programs that use windows update for updates?
As far as I’m aware even windows 7’s windows defender still gets updates.
- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 1 month ago:
Find an app for your phone/watch that wakes you up at the end of your sleep cycles. When you’re in deep sleep you tend to be pretty still, but when you’re at the end of a sleep cycle is when you typically move around a night. There’s apps that will wake you up when it’s almost your alarm time, but you’re moving around.
Also try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Eventually you can kinda figure out your own sleep cycles and try to work with them instead of against them.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 1 month ago:
It’s based on the speed limit of the road. Yellow means proceed if safe or stop if safe. The faster it is the longer the yellow. And usually the longer the time between it turning green on the other side should you pull a whoopsie.
- Comment on Is it insane to run a home server on an old laptop instead of a Raspberry Pi for self-hosting - what do I need to worry about? 1 month ago:
I ran ESXi on an a ThinkPad W520 for years with no issues. Make sure you set a battery charge limit or else that battery will be toast in no time. A UPS is insane overkill. A laptop battery will long outlast the UPS batteries. Not just run time, but in terms of degradation. even without the charge limit.

Or just only looked at the raw page source.
Why have a full web browser running when wget gets better results?
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 2 months ago:
I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.
- Comment on New image-generating AIs are being used for fake expense reports 2 months ago:
But why? It’s so easy to make your own face receipts.
Especially when you get an email receipt. Just inspect element that bad boy.
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 2 months ago:
School is a great place to meet people organically. Talk to your class mates. Even if they’re not a girl you want to talk to maybe they know someone.
Outside of school sadly dating apps are the only way to meet people. And they’re not good.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 2 months ago:
I’m not saying drink a gallon right before bed. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, then slowly less and less until it’s about bed time. Then take a fat piss before you go to bed.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 2 months ago:
The way™️ is to drink enough water and actually brush before bed. If you’re sufficiently hydrated, and you don’t have all that bacteria shitting up your mouth then your morning breath will be a lot less stanky.
- Comment on Crysis Remastered Trilogy gets a GOG release with the original Crysis now in the GOG Preservation Program 2 months ago:
Will the non remastered version run on original hardware? System requirements say Windows 10/11.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 3 months ago:
Also did you adequately describe your problem? Treat it like a human who knows how to program, but has no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Just like a human you have to sit it down and talk to it before you have it write code.

- Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game 3 months ago:
Or just have DLSS run the game at 480p, but upscale it to 4k! You’ll never notice the difference we swear!

- Comment on McDonald's criticizes US restaurant industry for uneven wage policies 3 months ago:
Depends on your area. Near me it starts at 15 an hour.
But mcdonalds is consistently the lowest paying of all the fast food companies. The taco bell down the street was paying $15 when McDicks was paying 10. Now T Bell is up to 20 or 22, and Mc is still at 15.

Those 200gb games take a while to download, even on a gigabit internet connection.
- Comment on AI crawlers destroying websites in hunger for content 4 months ago:
Moreover, AI crawlers are much more aggressive than standard crawlers. As the InMotionhosting web hosting company notes, they also tend to disregard crawl delays or bandwidth-saving guidelines and extract full page text, and sometimes attempt to follow dynamic links or scripts.
So they’re just lazily programmed crawlers. Ironically trying to block them can cause web traffic to go up not down when people use more advanced methods to get around blocking. When you switch from a simple wget command ripping the bare page to a full blown chrome browser loading all the pictures, JS, and other junk that shit adds up.
- Comment on I refuse to by a new mouse 4 months ago:
Pretty much no manufacturer is going to sell you parts besides maybe replacement feet. But the only things that fail on mice are all jellybean components.
Left mouse button fails? Buy another from mouser. Middle button fails? Digikey. Side button? Some other components selling company.
Outside of those super light mice there’s nothing special about any of them other than the exact layout, and the case. And the cheaper the mouse usually the simpler they are on the inside, and the easier it is to solder. Most PCBs will be single sided with through hole components.
