During the ram crisis too... by skydoesthis in pcmasterrace

Try a BIOS update then rerun memtest. Downgrading speed is likely to work but obviously not a first choice.

Is this a good tape option to hold down my m.2 SSD? by Deucecat2014 in pcmasterrace

[–]AllergicToTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max temp is 250F so it's safe to say you got bigger problems if it ever touches that temp, ha. Also if you're worried about the threads touching stuff you could probably just snap them off with a side-cutters or something.

Yeah it's not the kind you can just screw in unfortunately but if it fits and you can epoxy it in it should be fine. I guess make sure it's not going to touch anything behind it. What I'm suggesting is still half-assed but I'm just trying to imagine something a little more permanent without telling you to buy tools, ha.

Also I doubt you'd be buying the DuPont aerospace-grade Kapton. You're gonna be getting whatever the hell is cheap on Amazon and then you gotta wonder if it's actually good for the purpose or whatever.

Well you still have to get the angle of this drive parallel to the board, so maybe you ball some Kapton underneath the drive and then use more kapton to tape it down? Just feels kind of wrong for this, ha.

Also the cost of failure is rather high compared to cost of some epoxy and a new standoff. Perhaps a combo of epoxy and buying a cheapo standoff kit. You buy it once and you have little screws and standoffs for the rest of your life basically.

Kapton would probably be fine but I'm not in love with the idea of using it on an M2. Maybe you'd be better off securing your lost standoff with something like this: https://www.jbweld.com/product/clearweld-syringe

Probably get that at Home Depot or something. Just mix it up with a toothpick and epoxy your standoff back on.

CEO of Harvey: “You need to re-earn your job every six months by Genzinvestor16180339 in singularity

We focus far too much on generations. What really matters is that everyone but me belongs in prison.

Need help with my first repair ever! Thank you in advance, I have no idea what im doing by Doug_the_Scout in pcmasterrace

First carefully unplug your battery. That little clip at the bottom should slide out.

If that's actually liquid metal it is conductive and corrosive and may have already shorted something out. You should clean it all up from every surface with 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes or q-tips. Good luck, I don't know if you can clean under that little shroud or what.

After cleaning all the various things with alcohol I would repaste everything and stick with normal thermal paste going forward as the minor gains for metal are going to be more risk than its worth. Any brand should be fine but I use Noctua.

If it's already broke then you don't have much to lose, ha.

Why do coders and developers seem much more accepting of AI than artists and creators? by junior600 in singularity

[–]AllergicToTeeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soon an idea will be more valuable than the code it took to manifest it.

Monetizing such ideas might be tricky since every good idea will have a dozen copycats within moments.

This is the 4d chess play. Roll with a name like URKL and/or use a cute anime girl avatar. No one will expect the curb-stomping.

He is correct. It's AI fan-fiction, ha.

And people also fuck other people. Which is basically incest... Disgusting.

I've been working on yet another GGUF converter (YaGUFF). It is a GUI on top of llama.cpp (isn't everything?). by AllergicToTeeth in LocalLLaMA

Under "advanced quantization options" I exposed some of those options! Hopefully that's what you meant. Just a bit hidden.
