I upgraded to an open box 7900 XT from my Vega 56. I tried getting a 9070 XT and was still in my return window, but damn am I glad I got the discounted previous gen card.
I definitely could not play all the latest games on the highest setting with the card I’d been rocking since 2017.

Well, of course. What can you expect from a Chinese PCB that costs only 2500 USD, right?
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 3 weeks ago:
Right.
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 3 weeks ago:
The problem seems to be load balancing, or lack thereof. A German guy on YouTube noticed that his cable got up to 150°C at the PSU end, due to one wire delivering 20 or 22 amps, while the others were getting a lot less pumped through them. 22 Ampere is pretty much half the power draw of the card, through one wire instead of three if the load was properly balanced between them. That’s why it ran so hot and melted to shit.

Never played the first Dune game, but Dune 2 had fantastic music. I assume at least some of it was composed by him.

Currently own one, but had to double check.
- Comment on Speedometer, or Siegometer? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not 100% sure if it’s the Mk3 or Mk4 dash. Probably Mk4, with the fantastic red on blue color scheme.
- Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery 4 weeks ago:
36 Watts idle sounds like a lot for a 5800X3D. I’ll see what my 5700X3D does, never checked that. Not in software and not at the wall.

To be fair, they’re in a bad spot and I wouldn’t wanna be a diplomat for Germany right now. That said, it’s crazy that they’re even refusing to say that they would arrest Netanyahu and his cronies if shit comes to shove.
Germany was one of the big proponents that made The Hague as an institution happen. Now they’re saying “It’s not for us to make a judgment” and they would be right. You can pledge to arrest them and the ICC will do their job.

That statement is not true and it never was.

Maybe they originated in the US, but I don’t recall reading about an XL Bully mauling someone in Europe, other than numerous reports from England.

The UK truly is a special place. Greetings from the mainland.

Wish listed, thanks for making me aware of this game.
- Comment on Intel releases one last microcode update to fix high-end desktop CPU crashes 5 months ago:
The way I understand it is that once they release an update for your board, it should cover all the processors compatible with it, not the one you have specifically.
- Comment on Intel releases one last microcode update to fix high-end desktop CPU crashes 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t think updates would be rolled out for each CPU model, or am I wrong here?

They drastically reduced their PR budget in the 90’s and 00’s and it shows.

- Comment on Small reminder: Don't forget to sporadically renew your nozzle from time to time! 6 months ago:
Is it worth it spending money on more expensive nozzles? On my Ender 3 V2, I used Creality nozzles I ordered on AliExpress. Now that my S1 Pro is 9 months old (although rarely used), I wonder if it’s worth spending 10 Euros on a single brass nozzle made by Brozzl.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 6 months ago:
A platform similar to Steam. “Good Old Games” is the name and what it started out with, without any DRM. The catalogue is much larger nowadays, they have their own launcher like Steam, and there still is no DRM.

I was trying to figure out if the kids had eaten more from one or the other jar. And I thought the green stuff was herbs.
