I’m reading all these comments in his voice.

Carbonating a void underground seems like a bad plan. God help us if Mentos get down there.

And OP was talking about trees.

Dry them with a Kimwipe. It’s what they’re made for and they’re really good at it.

He doesn’t need to pay Sigma prices for something he’s so good at synthesizing.

I don’t understand how the ATX standard hasn’t adopted higher voltage rails for GPUs. Higher volts mean fewer amps which means less heat. 44A through an 8 pin connector is going to make a lot of heat. 11A at 48v would be much better.

I recently bought a Mac Mini because music production on Linux had me fighting my tools more than using them. My Linux box is a 7800x3d/7800xtx. The Mini idles at 4w, while the 78000xtx alone idles closer to 50w. I use the mini for everything non-gaming now.

I haven’t thought about H*R in a loooooong time. Thank you.

A good chair isn’t cheap, but it is worth the money. Older, better built furniture can often be found for less than new, crappy furniture at places life thrift stores, estate sales and collector’s malls.

The Hives were right, we need to convert to the metric system for time.

The beauty of SI units is you just add or remove zeroes.

Totally agree. It’s silly how much better ToTK is at 60fps.

If you hack your Switch and overclock it up to the stock Nvidia shield speeds most games run a lot better.

Yeah, they’re jerks who happen to produce good games from time to time and build consoles out of parts that are 4 years old at launch.

I believe Nintendo went after Switch emulators because the new Switch shares enough with the original to make it a cake walk to emulate Switch 2 games with better performance.

In many cases, Wine on Linux is better for running decades-old Windows software than Windows 10 or 11.

$30 a gram?!? I was paying $35 for 1/8ths of top shelf stuff in the rural western US in 2007. Then again, the rural west is where all the good stuff was grown pre-legalization.

Imagine if they ditched the second screen for a dedicated keyboard and track pad! It would be a portable productivity machine.

Nice info! A few notes:

Volts are not energy. Volts are a component of electrical energy. The drop in voltage is because of the additional load on the circuit that the charger represents. Energy losses come out as heat. If something gets hot while it’s doing its job and its job is not to heat things it means that it’s got a loss of energy somewhere. I’d bet that the charger warms up in use, and the loss is likely greater than the 1.75% loss that you were thinking you had with the voltage sag.

L1 charging is less efficient for a few reasons, but the biggest increase you get in efficiency from the L2+ charges is time. Triple the charge rate gets you full in an afternoon rather than overnight. But then you can parlay that into cost savings by timing your charge to off-peak times and charge up on cheaper electricity, if it is available in your area.

Electric cars do have an easily measurable range drop in cold weather for the reasons you outlined. Gas cars really shine in cold weather because not only do they not perform measurable worse in terms of range when the thermometer drips, but they also make their own heat, ALL THE TIME. In electric cars you have to use battery power to heat both the battery and the cabin, which is yet another drain on range. But, that gas combustion heat is loss in the summer when you’re not using it. Like the waste from your charger, but this time it also comes with emissions.

The wonderful side effect of buying cheaper games is you never have to worry about buying a game that is the result of a megacorp dropping $400 million into a metastasized web of sweatshop developers that comes with a "micro"transaction store where you can spend $240 on a new pair of shiny shoes for your avatar.

What are the chances it was blasted into the sun?
