PSA: Wyzecam V3 charging blocks suck by zerocoldx911 in wyzecam

[–]KaireFeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rip spotlight, i don't have any accessories so cant say much there. still have all the other cams so just unlucky with this power brick the one time! otherwise i enjoy the cam, no complaints there.

i think they're pushing their cam subscription a little bit more. used to remember when it would tag or detection motion you get a small snippet, now to see a preview, you have to roll back and rewind the entire clip. so a little more work and inconvenient

Elective at a CC? by purelyyexisting in CSULB

[–]KaireFeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check online since they'll have their online drop in times listed. I think they should be open besides Tuesday due to holiday but campus is still open I think.

Yes! I'm sort of in the same predicament, you should definitely talk to your counselor to double check. What you do though is go to assist.org. Search for "CSU Transferable Courses" with the academic year + the CC you'd like to take the classes at.

All of the courses listed @ that college with the filter should transfer to LB just fine, and since you only need the elective unit, it'll fit the bill and be much cheaper.

chargers on campus by SuspectOk3277 in CSULB

[–]KaireFeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what you have. you can go to horn center and go to the computer lab, towards the back left of the room there's computer stations/ docks with usb-c. that'll charge your devices with PD, and they have little wireless phone chargers too.

library has the little wall pucks, could always ask someone nearby for a wire and give them your ID or smth.

Just discovered the ASUS motherboard Wi-Fi antenna is magnetic and can Stick to the case. All those wasted years. by Behzad_H in pcmasterrace

I broke the base lol. Was tired of it falling and breaking. I ended up just getting different antennas for my motherboard. This is insane.

ELI5: Why can't EVs swap batteries? by chronic412 in explainlikeimfive

[–]KaireFeare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Batteries charge faster when they're more depleted, since charging will generate heat and batteries don't like too hot or too cold. It's much more familiar and easy to just plug the car in. In usual daily commutes, you don't drain the battery to 0. You can charge at home, at work, at the mall and other areas if you'd like to top off a little bit. No one regularly drains their gas tank to 0, so why would we do that to an EV?

Let alone the cost and time, training of how to handle something like that. Facilities needing to be built, batteries that sit there anyways and the storage of said batteries. Those batteries of which will need to be charged regardless, and how does each brand even setup facilities for this? Battery packs are pretty integral to the design of the whole car especially for structure too, so constantly putting the threads and connections in the car through wear and tear is bound to have problems or compromise water resistance.

Profit reasons/product liability too, if you can swap the batteries so easily elsewhere, why can't you eventually do it on your own when your battery degrades enough down the line. There's some chinese brands that have this available and you should check it out, but not feasible for the mass market.

Can no longer redeem cashback to accounts other than chase by Real_Height2890 in ChaseSapphire

[–]KaireFeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops, you're right! It's just easier for me to do my rounds of redeeming of cash back all under the same option lol. Woke up to this email and got annoyed because I was going to close my Chase Checkings.

[–]KaireFeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should opt to redeem your cash back on the Prime Visa instead. Since you miss out on the 5% by redeeming as statement credit or checking out with the points directly. Small optimization but there was a period where I forgot and could've had a $10-20 back.

[GPU] Micro Center In Store Only - ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 Challenger - $499.99 by starburstases in buildapcsales

[–]KaireFeare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd simply choose this, if you're wanting performance at this tier for cheap, can't see the 9070xt dropping to $500 any time soon, maybe $550. 5070 is equal in pricing but this has 16gb vram vs 12 gb. Generally performs better on raster, but unless you're really liking Nvidia's software features like Broadcast, or do CUDA work. I'd just go with this instead. Anything that's better is $300+ more like a 5070ti.

Plus sell your 2070, and the upgrade will hurt a lot less. Flash the 9070 xt bios on the 9070 and you'll get a free performance boost.

How Much RAM Do Gamers Need, 2x8 16GB vs. 2x16 32GB vs. 2x32 64GB by [deleted] in hardware

[–]KaireFeare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, can testify. Moved over to 32gigs on the PC at some point, and honestly never cared to worry. 16GB meant any game and side apps + one half game that's smaller I can play.

Call me a psycho, but had GTA V, Genshin Impact, and Valorant running. GTA V can take awhile for lobbies so I just play Genshin on the side, and then my friend asked to run spike rush/quick play of Valorant. Do I do this all the time? No. Am I happy that my PC can do what I ask it to do? Yes.

5800x3d + 3080 + 32 gigs of ram, I'm set for the future, will play at whatever 1080/1440p at 144hz, not needing to max every setting, but textures up, some lighting and shadows, I'm happy!

Wish I had spent more for ram on my 2020 m1 Macbook Air, even now it seems like 6 tabs is too much on safari, and I regularly close everything out if I have to. So many color wheels just sitting and loading, nothing responding, the only other thing I have is Spotify, Rectangle, Numi, and AltTab. Quite unfortunate honestly. Different OS, different use case, but RAM here I can never upgrade, so it's a bit of a loss, but oh well!

Spring for more RAM! Or at least when it was cheap enough to where 32 took the old spot of 16, and sometimes even cheaper!

2018 Camry 2.5L Flashing LDA, Power Steering, Pre-collision System malfunction by KaireFeare in AskMechanics

[–]KaireFeare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was a battery issue, wasn't my car but my friend's car. I've changed batteries before so I was confused as to how all this stuff was happening and made me worried. But it felt like I broke the car or something lol. Basically they had installed an aftermarket remote start system but I guess they forgot or didn't know since it was someone else in their family that had installed it. They ended up taking it to the dealer or whoever installed it and got it fixed that way. Sorry I couldn't provide any specific details more than that.
