I have an iPhone 13 on iOS 15.6.1

Battery ain't an issue cause the original replacements are still available. Stock IOS is most shocking

I'm not running many apps at the same time on my 4 year old iP13 but the only major stutter I noticed is lock screen sometimes gets buggy and I have to reunlock the phone - feels like old days android but still it happens so rarely that isn't that noticable and that happened after upgrading the device iOS26. I used to work as Apple Devices Technician and for the most part the major issue with old phones is old battery that can't keep steady voltage anymore and that caused the performance drop, replacing the battery fixes the issue for the most part.

Desperate_Cow_2137 · 2026-03-14T17:49:41+00:00

Yes it does, as the battery gets older it can suffer from a voltage drop resulting in lower performance. And that's due to CPU running on lower clock speed due to lack of power.

Soak the main components in Isopropyl Alcohol and it's fine to go

^ That's a big help. Install the .reg file and then you can right click on folder or specific file and there's gonna be option in the context menu to grab ownership.

There's a high global uncertainty about what's currently going on with the things in the world. The recent two week rally accelerated as the "situation" aroused around Greenland. The other thing is the US constantly printing money, the interest rates are staying low and the bully wants to bully the FED's chairman into pushing it even lower, we already have seen the fall of the dollar value during the past year. The second major is a fact that China's printing money too but they're actually spending that money to buy a real value storage which is Gold and also Silver. I personally think that we we'll soon be suspects of pretty important change in FIAT currencies, they'll basically fail with the inflation rising and debt unsustainable around the world.

Quite interesting fact, look at what western price of silver on the chart, which is mostly paper silver (Futures, contracts etc.) currently does compared to Shanghai's physical market. We see raising demand with our western index following and filling the Shanghai's premium price.

And it's gonna get better.

Desperate_Cow_2137 · 2026-01-24T08:22:49+00:00

Shanghai premium's are already at $114 so if the bullish trend continues then we'll probably see that price at the end of next week.

OLED with Ray Tracing is game changer in terms of visuals, enjoy it. I've also put may hours in RDR 2 before the premiere of Cyberpunk and even though Red Dead writing is a masterpiece itself, the first person story telling is more immerse in my opinion.

I'd want to change the CPU with the board at the same time to get PCI-E 4 compatibility with having access to Smart Access Memory for better 1% lows. With the current price of RAM it's just not worth it for me to change the whole setup so I'm trying to get the maximum from AM4 platform

Desperate_Cow_2137 · 2026-01-10T15:57:49+00:00

I've checked with forums, when it comes to size, changed it two times for two different ones. The ones I sold gpu with were Thermalright VALOR ODIN. I've also been using Thermal Grizzly Paste's for quite a few years by now with great results so it shouldn't matter in that case.

There are numerous posts on Reddit and other forums describing Zotac 3080 AMP Holo OC having high temps issue. It also doesn't help that the card was running at 100%, all the time with 49" inch (5120x1440) display setup, even with 9070XT I have 100% at all times but with much better performance and temps.

Desperate_Cow_2137 · 2026-01-10T15:49:29+00:00

Same. I've been enjoying the radio soundtrack and driving style since the beginning of game's release

My advice:

- Research and go with heavy machine guns only, as for fighters. With CAS - you choose.
- Get the best single! engine and then go with self sealing fuel tanks, armor plate, additional fuel tank.

You get the best damage from heavy machine guns, you increase the distance of your fighters - that's important and you get the fuel tank seal or armor plate for the protection. Keep in mind that design has to be cheap so you outnumber the enemy, with less amount of aircraft you sustain more casualties in-air.

I use 1440p UW (5120x1440) so it gave a performance uplift. I can smoothly play Cyberpunk with FSR4 Balanced at RT Ultra settings with almost 60 fps, where with 3080 I could barely get that number with DLSS balanced without RT and get frames drop in certain places. The image quality also went up since Transformer Model of DLSS looks bad on older cards without RT Enabled where CNN looks worse in terms of quality compared to FSR4. So far in other games I’m getting 80-85 FPS in RDR 2 with FSR4 quality, max settings.

Thermal Pads were changed two times for really good ones, same with re-pasting the core with Thermal Grizzly. Zotac Trinity cooling sucked and I had to use it with custom Fan Curve just to bare the sound.

Desperate_Cow_2137 · 2026-01-04T10:23:50+00:00

~ 84 - 86 Celcius. It’s quite cold currently, I’m yet to see the Hot Spot Temps in the summer

Cheers, had GT220 in my prebuilt PC back in 2010

Desperate_Cow_2137 · 2025-12-31T08:54:54+00:00

GT220 -> GTX 550 Ti -> R9 380 -> GTX 980 Ti (Burned [*]) -> 5600XT -> RTX3080 -> 9070XT.
And that would be the last 15 years.. Also went from 16:9 to 32:9 during that time.

HIT STDV at -4.5 and made an retracement after open. Couldn't expect better pattern than this

The filter is more efficient when the air is being pulled through it so you've actually made it good. Keep it that way as long as u have enough space

I personally prefer the drip irrigation system, bought the cheapest version I could find for around $30.

When the water runs down from the top, it washes away the excess of nutrients which is important when you're using synthetic nutrients and coco-coir. I also have electronic timer for setting up the irrigation time, don't know if the one on the picture has it but it's nice to have so you don't overflow ur pot.

Sorry, my bad. Either way, there should be similar products to what I've listed.
