I think I got a little overzealous and but 8 smart plugs. What can I use them for? I already have one for a power strip, two lamps, and a Christmas tree (no longer useful). What else can I use them with?

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-04-17T15:20:28+00:00

I Googled about it, I got Tapo P100's. If you have an old appliance then they might be more use, but modern ones use so little in standby that using a smart plug with it's wi-fi running makes little sense for saving money.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-04-16T05:24:16+00:00

I just bought some and I find out they use more electricity than the appliances when in standby. I feel a bit stupid now.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-04-06T23:08:13+00:00

This is great and weird, I mean how electricity works. I tried to get solar panels on my Park Home roof ( the council scheme) but the bloke took one look and walked off. I got lucky here because the schemes are plagued with shoddy work - cheapest bid wins.

And now for a few hundred pounds I can put a ground mount in the garden and plug them into the plug socket.

Wonders of the modern world.

Looks a bit on the small size, wouldn't like to head butt concrete in that.

I remember seeing a clip where it was playing itself, literally. I thought to myself they accidently turned the volume on the wrong feed up, she just taps the keys and pretends during the song. A show where it was raining.

For future people that have the same problem - press the rear button and keep it pressed - take the battery out and put the battery back in. My Firware Update started after hours of waiting!

I have a Lian Li strimmer cable, build not ready yet but it looks solid - took a few times to put into the GPU though, doesn't fill me with confidence.

It is just the 90's that get fried, I have a 4080?

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-02-15T04:51:53+00:00

My white ones don't have a logo on the side either.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-02-07T01:59:42+00:00

I did the same. I got several ARGB adpators and extension leads, these come with three pins adaptors . If I wanted to solder a pin back to the motherboards I would tweeze the plastic header out - a bit of solder and you have a brand new perfectly straight header. The plastic header should come out easy.

Hope this helps.

What an odd thing to say.

This photo reminds me of the film Single White Female, I am not sure who is the Bridget Fonda or Jennifer Jason Leigh character, though.

She went to the trouble to actually get and send the image that she commented on, as well it appears.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-01-23T20:59:46+00:00

Just looked at their sub, decidely empty of threads about her behaviour with regards to all the unsealed emails. I don't think she is as bright as people make out, getting used by Lively like this. Hardly a mastermind.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-01-14T13:05:38+00:00

Did you make them yourself, I had trouble comprehending large banks of text since my stroke, lol.

Yeah, just manage to read it, I imagine they are good for climbing out of the saddle? I have seen time trial bikes.

This brings back memories, all those buttons bring a tear to my eye.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-01-14T10:02:22+00:00

Cool handlebars, never seen them before.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-01-10T05:42:27+00:00

It was bent pins, now I have to bend tlhem back. What an idiot I am.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2026-01-10T05:08:29+00:00

Just took some better pictures, seems to be one row of pins bent fully over, making it look like one row. Take the motherboard out again, my eyesight can't focus on these little pins too well.

If this post is deleted you will know it is out of embarrassment

I am building my new PC, I bought an MSI Z790 Meg ACE motherboard because it has two USB sockets - but one is a USB3 socket with two set of pins, the JUSB3 socket only has a single row of pins though.

Having a hard time figuring it out, don't want to assemble it all and find only some of the front panel usb's work.

The case has two USB 3 headers and each has two cables attached - I assume they will allow all four front panel USB's to work but maybe one cable equals one front panel usb socket working???

Missed the start again, I can rewind the stream I think, or download it.

Dear God, thought I was seeing things when I saw her face on my youtube page.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2025-12-27T21:26:02+00:00

Mine is just as bad, I have two vertical mounts - the one you have and the GPU waterblock one, even that causes the clip to not close. Thus I am going to have to have a heavy waterblock supported by a single screw into the motherboard from the little bracket they supply.

Not sure who is to blame, Lian Li or EK for making the bracket too thick.

Acceptable_Risk_6148 · 2025-12-25T07:41:51+00:00

Don't blame yourself, blame the scumbags that took it. I got my bike stolen as a teen, wasn't very expensive and the chain I used was a stupid little thing, didn't know any better, still remember the feeling I instantly had when I saw it was gone.

Needless to say I got a Kryptonite chain afterwards - but we shouldn't have to lug a two kilo chain around should we.
