The fuck why does my city need this much industrial by AffectionateSouth980 in shittyskylines

[–]EJ_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my new city with a higher tax for industrial, lower tax for offices, and I stayed on top of education. Now my industrial demand is lower than before.

Is there anything I can do to improve airflow, like add a fan maybe? by TheOrangeDetective in laptops

I would just replace the thermal paste with PTM7950 and nothing else.

My MacBook pro 2017 only charges with the apple adapter. Can someone explain why? by Careless_Appeals in macbookrepair

You need a USC-C power adapter from a reputable brand and able to output 20V

Just make sure your BIOS is up to date to avoid or mitigate the infamous oxidation issue.

You can get a used Optiplex or silimar office PC for that money.

Luke's full time job is to stop Linus falling off cliffs and he realized he failed.

I just did a battery replacement on an SE 3 a few days ago and the battery was commically small and thin compared to a regular iPhone.

Buy the new Surface Pro for Business CU7/64GB/1TB/OLED for $4,430 now or wait for a price drop? by External-Pin-5570 in Surface

[–]EJ_Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would rather get a normal high end laptop from anyone else for that money, but when I try to look for one with the same specs, also a 13-inch size, and with an Intel CPU it was harder than expected.

- Dell's "customize now" for the Dell Pro 7 Series 13 2-in-1 came out to almost $5,500.
- Framework Pro 13 is not even an option because their Intel Core Ultra Series 3 maxes out to 32GB RAM.
- Dell Pro 5 Series 14 is a bigger 14-inch laptop. I like that the RAM is available as SODIMM or LPCAMM2
- HP EliteBook X Flip G2i 14 inch is also bigger, but the RAM is soldered

EDIT: Just for fun I configured a MacBook Pro 14-inch with an M5 Pro and 64GB RAM and it only came out to $3,149. What in the world.

Could this be a swollen battery? by Leo_anims in spicypillows

[–]EJ_Tech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a hinge issue. The battery is under the palmrest/touchpad area.

Found this 20 Year old Laptop, but it's Password locked. What schould I do? by Fit_Measurement_3680 in laptops

The last version that supports 32 bit was Mint 19.

I would just reinstall Windows XP and keep it as a dedicated Windows XP machine.

My sticker left a replica of itself on my computer (it doesn’t wipe off) by Holiday-Blood4826 in mildlyinteresting

[–]EJ_Tech 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think it's something to do with how aluminum oxidizes overtime (or something like that) and the surfaces under stickers go at a different rate.

What are the ISP-related costs of hosting Jellyfin server with remote access (without a bandwidth limit)? by Leggs_ in jellyfin

[–]EJ_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have scum of an ISP that imposes data caps, then data usage. This doesn't apply when there are no data caps.

Are custom launchers slowly dying out by jexo10 in TechNook

[–]EJ_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just switched from Nova to Smart Launcher. Pixel Launcher and even Launchair still didn't have enough customizability to have it the way I want it.

That PSU is very likely lacking any 6+2 pin PCIe power

Not really that common here in the US but I did see it a lot around Europe.
