If your running that CPU then you almost certainly have done research or have money. Either way. Enjoy the setup you’ve got a good cooler and CPU it seems.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The Noctua NH 15 is a great air cooler one of the best air coolers actually. What are you pairing it to? What CPU?

Almost all things noctua are good. However. They are expensive and if you’re not plotting on future cpu high TDP chips it’s overkill. I don’t honestly see the need to drop that much money on a CPU cooler. There’s near equal more cost effective options. Unless your doing major overclocks, cpu heavy loads at near max clock speed constantly where you think major wear and tear will happen I don’t for see the need to spend that much. I’ve built many many PCs.

You can find comparable air coolers much cheaper. Think 50 to 80 range and technically you can score them on eBay for cheaper than that. Look at the Phantom spirit 120 cheapest 30 to 40 usd, AK620 1 to 3c cooler than phantom 50 to 65usd, frost commander 140 80usd, noctua DH 15 150 to 180usd.

Of course prices fluctuate. Those get you the best ranked air coolers for the most part. Their all within roughly 5C of each other. All good coolers. Take the extra money savings and add to a GPU or whatever part you really need.

95c is damn near boiling at 203f. That is too hot to sustain any good longevity of a part, and any good workload for any component in a PC. That is a lot of heat. You will not get the best performance for a processor at its maximum temperatures running it like that all the time or even close to its max operating temp. I’m not saying you can’t hit that number but ideally you really really shouldn’t.

So what I said I think stands. Upgrade to a better air cooler and if need be a water cooler at least a 240AIO nothing smaller period. Keep temps lower and parts last longer. Performance boosts during core loads hold clocks longer. No question.

16 is minimum and 32 is recommended if you do much pc gaming, browsing, or torrenting. Things with multiple programs. A single browser and steam open. I regularly hit 16 to 20gb on mint and librewolf.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Slight under volt, or upgrade cooler. 90c is too hot sustainably. Idle high 40s to 50s is not the best. Find a better air cooler or use a 240 AIO atleast.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Browser Wasn’t Enough, Google Wants To Control All Your Software⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is not late stage capitalism. This is mid stage at best. The entire economy and world population could be shrunk down to literally pennies, as the wealth gap widens. It could have us ending up like district 9, or Elysium as broad examples. The govt and entities have not even started cracking down on illegal activities, loop holes, bank accounts, cash spending, crypto, and more in the super strict enforced fashion they could be.

While rightly fucked up and enshittified. We could be so so much further down the capitalism rabbit hole of hell. Everyone should be boycotting and avoiding the largest companies as a whole. No change you make goes unnoticed. You might be less than 1 percent but the snowball effects happen. Movements, parties, resistance, change, software, everything adds up.

So what you can do. Don’t go mentally insane about it. Most things don’t require THAT much effort. A simple tweak here or there makes an impact.

I really only miss fortnite and the ocassional call of duty warzone but other than those two or some multiplayer games Linux is far more enjoyable. Yeah I know this games and those companies but let someone enjoy something for once. Help me find a work around. Until then I dual boot mint and windows debloated as much as possible for only a few multiplayer games.

Some sort of internal error specific to them and their setup. Mullvad should function flawlessly on Mint. I’ve used and installed mint on multiple PCs and all sorts of drives including usbs. The repo for updating mullvad app usually needs corrected but that is it. Mint and Mullvad are solid.

EXCEPT the fuel pump for a Passat 2013 to 2017 is 400 to 600 dollars for the pump only. You can find some on eBay cheaper but when you can’t drive your car then you have to get what you can get.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Over a decade of selling on EBay big time and about every other major platform or my own shopify stores. EBay is nice, its streamline to sell on. The caveat to it is, expect to lose 30 percent of your items value or close to it. They calculate their fee after they’ve added shipping and tax and processing card fee. So your 300 dollar item total shipping and all say comes out to 371 then they subtract their percentage which is category based. I cleared 283. That was a GPU I sold with real numbers.

If you can swallow eating that type of margin loss because your cost of goods is low or your margin is super high then go for it, or you are a super savvy shipper. Just check the selling fees and know your strategy and master it. EBay is easy to sell on, compared to amazon, Etsy, insert your platform*

I am an 80 percentile top rated seller in my category overall. I also dominate my niche as THE seller of nearly all of my single product. That being said I’ve sold ww2 items to stuffed animals and anything you can think of. I used to buy whole estate sales and barns out right. Auctions, and about every major platform I’ve been on. I’ve sold international to national. You’d be hard pressed to think of random items I haven’t sold. I know big multi million dollar sellers who run warehouses. ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. Its late in my timezone so I’m groggy and can’t think. I’ll be fresh tomorrow. I’ll help anyone who needs it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It seems like a reading issues rather than a hardware issue. Try placing the sensor on the inside if your wrist where the skin is softer and veins are more prevalent. Also play with the tightness and fitment location up or down a little. Go to settings turn data to gather every second. Update the hardware and apps during syncing with phone or wifi. I know mine can be off under vigorous fan biking where your really thrashing your arms. But it’s fairly accurate any other time.

If you do intensive exercises or more moving than otherwise a watch on your wrist could reasonably keep up with. I highly recommend pairing a Polar H10 (roughly 100 usd) strap to your garmin and that’s hospital/lab grade accurate. Pairs right to the watch and nothing else is needed, syncs the data accurately and to connect app as usual. 400 hour battery life, adjustable, comfortable. Check it out. Good luck.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I and my family have had Garmin’s like the venu line for years and I am in the hospital all the time. I’ve tested mine against the polar h10 and multiple medical tests and during times of Hospital stays for lengths of time. Mine has always been accurate and within a beat or two in the heart rate and a single percentage or 2 on pulse ox.

Garmin has fantastic customer service. Perhaps updating your device, or contacting them for an exchange would be worth while. All their watches I have had, seen, have been accurate. I’m not refuting what your saying just trying to give my perspective.

You can also set to track every second vs the default smart tracking every few minutes. Hope any of this helps. Don’t settle for subpar results or experience. They make good equipment IME.

The good Garmins last 2 and half months no charge. An hour in the sun adds a week. Ink display and solar glass. It’s awesome. In the smart watch health space garmin is second to none. Especially so for battery.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
There will always be accidents with tech or anything. No matter how much planning, foresight, etc could go into a product or service. Humans cannot account for every scenario. Death is inevitable to some degree. That being said.

Tesla point blank launched a half ass product / project that just did not fully operate as specified. I’m all for self driving vehicles, even through the bad stuff even if it happened to me I’d still be for it. Given the early stage though, they should have focused so much more on their “rolling release updates” than they have.

Of course things will need updated, of course accidents will happen. But it’s how they respond to them that makes them look evil vs good. Their response has been lack luster. The market seems to think it’s a not a major issue though. There’s more teslas now than ever on the roads.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I do the same thing. Keep multiple profiles and just run sandboxed play services. It works fairly well. The only exception to not having play services is if you allow the app to run unrestricted in the background to always stay connected and fetch notifs. But it does drain battery 10 to 15 percent for just signal throughout the day depending so I can imagine it grows as you were to do that with more and more apps.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Only certain apps require play services, aurora store itself requires no play services. Just the potential for the apps you are trying to use. I’ve used F-Droid and aurora for years.
