Just got admitted to the closed beta a few weeks back and have been absolutely loving it :]

This is everything I want from a gamified step counter with none of the things I don’t want!

Looking forward to push notifications to help me remember to queue up the next activity when the last one is complete

Thank you so much for making this!

While the two are alone inside, Sonne notices a piano, tinkles a bit on it and then dares Victoria to also play something

The concern is that really running too much current / many amps through too thin of a cable risks melting the cable, which can in turn cause a short and fry things.

For a cable meeting the minimum specification, for one 8-Pin PCI connector it would be rated to handle about 12A / 150W. L

Your card can draw up to 300W. If your second PCI power connector is a “pigtail” off of the first, then the first run of cable is taking about 25A at full load.

If the cables are thick and overbuilt, that’s bot really an issue. If the cables are thinner and have a lower current rating, they could melt.

Best practice is to split the connections across the power supply’s available ports.

I have a gaming PC with an R7 5800X and an RTX 3080 hooked up to a 38” Ultrawide monitor

Since I got my Steam Deck, the PC setup mostly collects dust. Being able to lay on the couch and play games while watching TV shows with my SO became a lot more appealing than going into another room to sit upright at a desk. Games in bed while watching Saturday morning cartoons? Yes please!

As far as games are concerned, the majority of things run at acceptable framerates. For the exceptions, you can always stream from a PC over the network and the battery life is incredible when you play that way. This also applies to games with restrictive anti-cheat.

Well, for starters, if you build it you can have whatever aesthetic you want. In the process, you’ll learn how all the pieces fit together and will be in a better position to perform your own repairs. You also get warranty terms of 3 or more years on the individual parts.

With an OEM Prebuilt, you’re usually limited to a one year warranty (in the US). Not all “office desktops” consist entirely of proprietary parts. Lenovo and Dell publish their service manuals, so you should be able to see if a system you are considering uses a standard ATX Power Supply (for example). Depending on your performance target, some RTX3050 cards will run entirely off of the 75W provided through the PCI slot. They’ll also have “office PCs” with graphics cards in them, meaning they’re technically fit for playing games even though they’re bot marketed as such. Ultimately, “Gamer” aesthetic is really just part of “Gamer” marketing.

This isn’t news, this has already been the case since Windows 10 1803 back in 2018.

It is, Secure boot and the TPM must both be enabled.

If you check Msinfo32 / “System Information” with admin rights, there is a “device encryption” listing that maybhave additional information.

There are rare instances where a device won’t support automatic encryption due to “Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected” which requires a registry tweak to work around

It backs up to the Microsoft Account

Still, some people create an @outlook.com email, set up no recovery options, forget the password, and find themselves locked out.

[…] device encryption will be enabled by default when you first sign in or set up a device with a Microsoft account or work / school account.

For devices with a TPM, this has literally been the case since Windows 10 1803 back in 2018.

It’s not, but it is one of the best single player campaigns I have ever played.

My partner and I often play through single player games together in tandem, waiting for one another at each checkpoint.

There is a co-op PvE mode if that’s your speed.

I just use the Steam Chat mobile app

Review the manual again and redo installation. The cooler is not properly installed.

Tons of great suggestions already shared, but I’d like to add one I haven’t seen yet.

Wilderness Survival / Bushcraft School

They exist in nearly every corner of the world. There will be tons to learn from instructors and other students alike, since that sort of program tends to attract other outdoor enthusiasts who may already have experience with basic camping and backpacking.

Many will offer overnight programs where you camp out in a safe environment while practicing skills that can save your life if things go really wrong, not to mention that they’re fundamentally rewarding.

For HR, I think you’re good to go the way that it is. Hopefully you have the Director’s Cut - they removed the awful yellow filter that the game originally launched with.

You should, it’s quite powerful and can work in tandem with both DMDE and UFS Explorer!

Power cycling the drive reboots and reinitializes it. I’ve mostly seen it with SSDs - you get a few dozen MB worth of reads before it drops out, unplugging and reconnecting a SATA power connector that many times would be real tedious so you automate it with a relay.

I own a repair shop and use USB to SATA adapters all the time. Sector scans, imaging/cloning, and booting live environments.

It has less to do with the medium and more to do with the quality of your chosen adapter.

I have one of the adapter you pictured, ordered it to test it out because it was comparatively low cost. Did not order more.

I have about a dozen of the Sabrent adapters and they see daily use.

USB can actually be ideal in some data recovery scenarios. HDDSuperClone / OpenSuperClone support a relay mode that turns a disk off and back on to regain access after they drop out, and that is reliant on a USB connection.

Vibration is a pretty big one

Got one for my partner during the last refurb restock. It was perfect for Stardew and other small indies, which is all they cared to play.

Not long after, I upgraded my deck to 2TB, they inherited the 512GB SSD, everybody won.

Right now, you can get a 64GB deck and 1TB M.2 2230 SSD for $15 more than the 512GB LCD is on sale for.

Discord has evolved from more or less being a series of chatrooms (like IRC) to having “threads” that work a lot like how a forum would typically be used.

In the repair community, a lot of conversation about component level repair has moved to Discord channels. Sites like badcaps.net or the Rossmann group forums have comparatively low usage. Nested away in Discord, this information doesn’t show up in search engine results and can’t be archived by web crawlers. When a Discord server is deleted or made private, that information is forever lost.
