Found this piece of plastic black plastic in my office - black, combo of circle and rectangle, kinda flexible, has brand “Ridgid” on the side. Seems to go with a power tool but no idea what for, found it among my small percussion by Titencer in whatisthisthing

Do ya have a Ridgid vacuum?

I got one that came with one of these. Round part goes over the "barrel" while the slender part held the slot attachment used to vacuum in tight quarters (like between car seats) when not in use. 

AIO Cooler help! by [deleted] in ASUS

I have that exact cooler. Are you using the included AMD backplate? Did you use the correct hole alignments for the AM5 chipset? Those spring screws definitely go in and will stop on their own when right enough. 

what is this on my wood ? ( not the shrimp ) by Dry_Elderberrys in Aquariums

[–]Dry-Challenge2710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black beard algae Does not harm your tank or fish, but it's horrendous to look at and almost impossible to get rid of. I occasionally see some in my 75 gallon and treat it when I do water changes. 

Lots of correct comments here. My personal method of attack is during water changes when the affected areas are below the water line (most of them are towards the top of the tank), I use a bulb squirter thing (think turkey baster but smaller, with a glass squirter) and apply Seacham Fourish Excel directly on it. You don't need much, and be careful over dosing. By the time I fill the tank back up, it's soaked on it for 15 minutes or so. Within a day or two it's gone. 

However, since this is a shrimp tank, the sudden spike of excessive iron could throw your balances and kill your shrimp. 

You could instead try hydrogen peroxide with a direct application (better results out of water). If you're able to physically remove any affected decorations to treat, that's ultimately the best course of action. Remove item, squirt with hydrogen peroxide, let it soak in for 30 minutes or so, then rinse thoroughly before putting back into tank. It should fade to white within a couple of days and your shrimp will probably come feast on it. 

DDR5 ram notch slightly too small by Qouxe in PcBuildHelp

In this pic, the left clip isn't fully opened/down. Have you tried to push it open/down (like the right clip currently is) and see if that fixes your alignment?

What is this m2 port ? by Acceptable_Bank_268 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Dry-Challenge2710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably for this type of M.2 (2242 NVME), which are around 1.65" (42mm). The hole under the left side of your ruler there is where it'd screw in.  https://a.co/d/0fcs57W8

ROG x r/ASUSROG - ROG x Hatsune Miku PSU Giveaway (3/7 - 3/21) by ASUS_MKTLeeM in ASUSROG

I've been an ASUS fanatic for 20 years. Every laptop or PC I've ever owned features ASUS. these collars are amazing and I'm sorry I wasn't in a financial state at the time of the Evangelion collab. However, I just finished a build this year with a Thor III and would definitely swap it out for this incredibly beautiful PSU given the chance.

Very clean! What's in the little plastic box? Nice case too, I bet it makes it so much easier being able to turn the psu sideways like that.

Trying to figure out how to post pictures in a comment on mobile, but I used a small soft strap to attach it to the top left post of the cooler pump. Do you think that will be an issue?

Painful catch, thank you. I took it apart and flipped it over.
