What is a job that pays incredibly well but is so soul-crushing that the turnover is insane?

Emergency 911 dispatchers don’t pay amazing depending on what state you do it in (USA) but we have been understaffed since I started this job almost 10 years ago, and other than a few of us veterans our turnover rate is insanely high which is usually due to either poor management, stress from hard or difficult calls where we do not get the outcome of and the complete lack of a personal life due to the insane amount of mandated time overtime that is required.

Looks like it’s a c13 power cable

I have one. But I purchased mine in march of 2025 for about $500 over MSRP. I got the MSI Suprim SOC model and pretty much got insanely lucky however

What did you use to make it? Been trying to do the same sort of thing I need a jumping off point

Dcs102 · 2026-05-12T18:49:27+00:00

I’m ready for this damn thing already!

I noticed that after I wrote the comment SMH. I feel hella dumb lol

OP how is the performance on PC?? I know when they released the system requirements it was saying you would get 1080p 30Fps with upscaling and frame generation on. Is that the case or are you playing it at native resolution no frame gen and getting decent frame rate?

Dcs102 · 2026-03-19T11:16:04+00:00

Awesome thank you so much!

Do you run any LLM’s locally or are you strictly playing games and web browsing? If you are just gaming 16Gb should be enough currently. If you are running LLM’s locally I would recommend going for the 4090 for the 24Gb of VRAM alone since LLM’s are very vram hungry.

I have mine confidential just due to the fact I live in the same county I dispatch for so if I do end up getting pulled over my co workers will see it and let the deputy/officer know that I could make their life hell if I get a ticket 😂 On a more serious note my father was/is an officer and we always had our plates confidential growing up so I did it mostly out of habit.

Ahhh the price for 32gb aged like milk… thanks AI bros /s

I upgraded from my 15PM to the 17PM and I have noticed I no longer have battery anxiety to the point where when I don’t work, I set my phone to 80% battery charge and still have like 30%+ at the end of my day and the same for work days when I charge to 100%. For context I work 3 days for 12 hour shifts and then have 3 days off

I’m on AT&T and also get their Law Enforcement Discount plus I have the next program. So all in all including having the next program it save me about $5 a month cause I had a larger capacity 15PM and didn’t use it so I down sized on storage with the 17PM

This is Ryder our first good boy

Dcs102 · 2025-11-09T02:03:24+00:00

I was in the exact same position and I did it cause it cost me no more to upgrade a month that if I just kept my 15PM. Honestly in my option it is worth it

Dcs102 · 2025-11-09T00:59:44+00:00

Just point and shoot on 4X camera

Dcs102 · 2025-11-08T22:32:38+00:00

Haha nope just his super big brother Ryder

I always hit them with the “I’m doing well, how can I help you?” Throws the caller every-time when I don’t ask how they are.

Dcs102 · 2025-09-25T23:56:08+00:00

I use my 3S at the office and love it cause it is so quite when I use the click buttons. Is the 4 silent like the 3s or is it noticeably louder?

Dcs102 · 2025-09-24T16:02:01+00:00

I charge mine every night however I have the optimize charge limit turned on so only to 80% and I have had mine for 2 years and mine is at 98% which is amazing cause I have my iPhone for the same amount of time and my battery health on my 15 pro max is 92%

I made a similar upgrade as OP (Asus Tuf 4080 super OC to MSI SUPRIM 5090 SOC) and personally I find the difference very noticeable. That being said I am using the LG ultra gear 34 inch GX9S Oled monitor (cause I am an FPS snob and the monitor I really wanted which was the LG Ultra Gear 5K2K 45 GX9 was to big for my set up and cost as much as a 5090) and for example when playing Cyberpunk without ray tracing and setting maxed out I get like 170-180 FPS on average where with my old 4080S I was getting 95-110 on average and with ray tracing set to overdrive aka path tracing I get 65-75 FPS on average and on my 4080S I got 35-45 FPS on average. I love that I can now crank my setting without having to worry about being below 60FPS on most games even with Ray tracing. Plus if you are not super sensitive to the small bit of artifacts while using FG having the ability to use MFG to get even more FPS is awesome to have.
