Stupid laws of nature, making everything cool super hard and expensive!

Just?

ooooh my! What a treat! Have fun everyone!

How can he be there, when he was just here giving out presents to all the children?? 🤠

Second for BotW emulation, if you haven’t played that yet. I took the emulation opportunity to set max_durability of all items at 400% with a helper program. Frick that noise, hahaha.

That Mad Max game deeply discounted on steam RN, pretty cool action, in car and out, nice exploration, not BotW levels but good enough.

Need more distraction from that non-war special military operations, it’s going too well.

It’s so great, just like: where are shared albums now? Hidden deeper, ofc that doesn’t deserve its own tab, but look this activity stream is super NEW.

Well, reading this and the rest of this thread, I can’t think of anything else. Since you ruled out pretty much everything else, I would now put my money on one of the parts shorted during cleaning… anecdotally I’ve heard parts dying by shorting them with your fingers, but it never happened to me, so that would be pretty unlucky.

Last time I did a cleaning of a particularly dusty system, a dustbunny flew in the PCI-e port without us noticing (it was dark and circumstances were not ideal). With the GPU Re-inserted, that was enough for the system to behave similarly to yours, but you re-seated everything so… That would eliminate this as a possibility.

You could share a photo of the current situation, a top down of the mobo? Eliminate chances you are missing something by secondary means(as opposed to just text)?

Hello from a neighboring country. Never had a cop try to escalate a situation. Not every interaction was my view of a good conversation, but during all of them i felt safe.

Did you maybe unseat the tiny power switch/activity led front panel cables?

The terra has a shiftable midplane, so you might have to calculate the minimum setting you would need on both sides (CPU cooler side ande the GPU side) and be sure that it will fit. If Noctua said it will fit, you can be sure that it will, but they don’t know how thic your GPU is gonna be.

Looks great otherwise, the terra is beautiful. Be mindful, if this your first SmallFormFactor build, the performance might be a bit less then if built in a roomy ATX mid tower instead. I was kind of surprised by that on my first SFF(Factual Node 202), thats why I mention it.

It’s definitely real, however improbable, and I can empathize with your anxiety. It just feels to me that we do not have any real ‘options’, so pondering the looming doom is feels pointless and luckily I am able to refrain from it.

Does it even matter if it’s real? If you assume it’s real and combine that with the fact that Russian leadership is completely cooked through and crazy irrational, how would you even ‘be careful’ when the other party is proven to be chaotic evil.

Fantastic! I’m reducing my dependency on for profit entities every day, and federation is a great means to that end. Let’s welcome those moving over during the exodus!

It’s a pretty funny picture, but why would the bad folk get to go in the cave? It feels to me that most caves would have been highly desirable locations back then.

Can’t have drift if you don’t have analog controls ¯_(ツ)_/¯ The pain I experienced as a kid was finding a PC controller, working a full day to get the thing working, only to realize it is complete ass, man did I respect console controllers after that.

I have to charge the battery EVERY TIME! There is a wheel on the top I have to spin else it won’t do ANYTHING.

Infuriating

In that case, add 3 and go again! Scarf it up!!
