    Well it's not as good as I remember it, must've been too busy shooting for my life to pay much attention. Pretty much the same loop the whole time, aside from a few transitions. Pretty good for the time, though.

    up-coming thermalright coolers

    Really comes down to three things: price, noise, and space. Get one that meets your needs on all three, and you'll probably be happy. Or pick two categories and compare/compromise on the third if you are flexible.

    ngl, the music and sfx in Tie Fighter and Rebel Assault were pretty badass. C&C had good sfx too, but in a goofy way, and mostly fm/pcm(?)

    Ah, yeah didn't think about that. Probably won't work, iirc SLI messed up a lot of screen capture software.

    New Silverstone Alta T1 (New Unibody TJ07 Successor!)

    Looks like (as setup) it comes in through the left and right sides, and goes out through the back and top sides.

    Help me break the laws of physics here

    Yeah, 15mm is small, and they make 10mm thick fans too! (but they're less than 60mm and spin > 3000 rpm minimum, only really good for unrestricted air or if you have no alternative)

    File Timestamps Change by 6hours on File Copy

    Don't forget to check/update the time in the OS as well. ntpd (or whatever the daemon is) on linux doesn't update the OS time if it's off by too much, not sure about windows.

    Help me break the laws of physics here

    Here's ss and Arctic's slim fans specs, fwiw: Assuming they are accurate, the arctic fan would be way better on a heatsink or with a very restrictive filter/mesh in the way, but it'd be more than double the noise at top speed. Either ss fan would be way quieter, but also have much less static...

    Help me break the laws of physics here

    Noctua's slim 120 is okay, not super quiet but it pushes a decent amount of air for the noise. Silverstone's slim 120 is very quiet, but probably doesn't push as much air. Keep in mind, the noctua fans included with their CPU coolers are tuned differently than the ones you buy individually. The...

    What's our industry rule of thumb when it comes to double sided NVMe drive? avoid it? if not, how do you cool the back side?

    Actually physics states that things which are hotter have more energy, and can change states more easily. This is why memory can degrade faster when it's hot, but it's also why some processors are unstable when they are cold, but run perfectly stable when they are operating at normal temperature...

    I also read that, don't remember if it was the memory or the controller though. It would make more sense for the controller than the memory, I guess.

    How hold 6 3.5HDD in the PC-O11 xl dynamic case?

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Played a bit of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. Wine wasn't having it (system freeze before menu), but OpenJKDF2 seems to work well after copying the assets. Haven't tried the expansion yet, might play more later.

    I have to admit…. I did not know that.

    I just always changed the sort order to process ID, or something more stable like memory usage. 🤷‍♂️

    Sounds like. I know some servers you can disallow direct access by IP, only allowing access via a certain domain name. I'm not familiar with windows file share server configuration, though.

    Here's what happens if you connect Windows XP to the Internet in 2024

    I got a tp-link tc-7610 back in late 2018, still works great. The rep at Cox didn't believe I had something that would work that wasn't theirs until they looked it up in their system. I think they just thought it'd be too slow, though, not that it was incompatible. That said, yeah, no way I'm...

    Made a filament storage box

    $26 for 4ft x 8ft (32 sqft) BCX Sanded pine So you could make 2 x ~2.5ft cubes out of pine for $26, or $13 each. Of course you could stretch the pine a bit by making a wider rectangular box. That said, lowes materials (whose prices I quoted) are very much meh at best, and maybe the prices...

    Wouldn't this have been less expensive to make out of 1/4" plywood? I mean it's cool, but seems a bit much for something so simple. Otoh, there's no kill like overkill. ;)

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    They're two different markets, imo. While they carry many similarities, a person who owns a switch may also own a steam deck, because you cannot play Mario Party on the deck ("above board"). That said, Valve doesn't need the deck to do very well, because they make a lot of money on the games...

    Hardware Nexus: ASUS Scammed Us

    The insane part is the screen wasn't even damaged -- it was fully functional! They wanted to replace the screen because the PLASTICS were damaged (from a screwdriver/spudger, looks like), and they refused warranty on EVERYTHING because that damage was caused by the customer. It's absurd on...

    Looks like it is supposed to work on windows, supposedly announced with some ReLive driver update but I haven't found it. You may need to change some settings to get it working, maybe add the game to the xbox thing or look in amd's driver settings for that game.

    Microsoft exploring options to power its datcenters using nuclear energy

    I wouldn't be surprised, makes more sense to have a very specialized and highly integrated OS, test suite, and hardware imo. That way any bugs can be found easily and fixed before there is a problem. Not to say it has to be unique to the power plant, but something built for that purpose and...
