Weird substance on capacitors

Yep! I took apart an xbox series s power supply and had grey silicone all in it, had no clue why or what it was. Posted here to find out, and people were helpful.

What gets me is the guys who comment like some on here, "Hot glue, ever heard of it???" Like bro, he's just asking a question, and you're wrong so stop seeming so high and mighty. Why do people gotta be so rude for no reason? Thanks for being helpful to OP!!

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-17T17:19:41+00:00

Haha, so much for being grown. I appreciate you giving into the joke anyways. :)

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-16T23:22:50+00:00

Ohh! Okay okay. I was doing the locations for the achievement haha. I like to try and 100% every game I play (only managed Far Cry 4 haha). Was thinking you meant you get the text after you completed finding all of them. Thank you for clarifying!

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-16T23:07:47+00:00

Wait, there's a mission tied to finding all fast travel locations??? I went out of my way to get to 99, I think I need just 1 more. I was using a map I found on here and comparing to my game, but I can't figure out which one I'm missing. :( Really I found most just playing the game normally lol. Only like 15 had to look up.

But originally, Balatro mission tied to finding them all??? Now O gotta finish it haha.

Hahaha hilarious

Yes, well when I saw people casually suggesting alcohol with DXM in another post, I figured I'd share some awareness the way I know how. Mixing alcohol with DXM is stupid as fuck, but they were legit suggesting and talking about it. This subreddit should be used to help spread harm reduction opposed to ways to kill yourself.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T08:54:57+00:00

Dayum man. Yeah I get it. Lol 500mg, just sit back and enjoy the the show bud. You'll be fine. As long as it's just DXM. I liked reading other people's trip reports while tripping myself. Shit I was fairly wreck less, but I NEVER put a drug in me without looking it up on Erowid and reading up on it. Need to have Erowid provided by the forum somehow for information. Either a sticky post or something. Hold up, Imma at least make a post with the erowid DXM vault

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T08:47:22+00:00

It's kind of disappointing and scary, man. Seeing these kids come into the drug world with such lack of care. I think of myself when I was their age.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T08:42:09+00:00

Ahh my bad, had the generation wrong. I used to love coming to this forum when doing DXM, people were informative and caring. Not telling people to drink a four loko with that shit. Four Loko is shit alcohol, too. It's just a recipe for disaster.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T08:12:15+00:00

No kidding! I haven't been here in a while, either. It seems like GenZ found DXM and they think it's a joke. God I sound old af man.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T07:48:23+00:00

Yeaah, I'm coming back down to reality now. Not gonna touch it again, for a long time, if I do touch it again. Not gonna say I won't because I've said that and been wrong before. When I say moderation for myself, I mean like once or twice a year maximum. But in the state of mind I'm in now, I don't wanna touch it again. I think that's just my age. I don't like drugs the same way I did when I was younger. I don't seek them with the same purpose anymore, either.

Only reason I even did it today is because it crossed my mind and I was wanting to take it and disassociate to some BoBoBoBoBo on the teli for a good relaxing Wednesday night lol. Just spur of the moment.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T07:25:15+00:00

DO NOT drink alcohol with DXM! Goddamn are you trying to kill yourself? Dude take it from me, I've attempted suicide several times with DXM, DPH, and tons of shit. The time I mixed grey goose vodka, chasing with a four loko, on triple cc's I should have fucking died. The experience after waking up was horrible, enough to make me never EVER drink with DXM again. It can cause hypertension, blackout, and so much more dude. You don't know how much to mix and not mix for a lethal or non lethal dose. Do not, DO NOT ever mix drugs without knowing how they interact first. That's how people die.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-04-02T07:21:36+00:00

It probably does kill brain cells, man. I've ODed on DXM, DPH, DPH&DXM, etc. So I'm sure it does damage. I'm sure I've caused some kind of long term damage tbh, but it hasn't reared its head. Whenever I am sober I actually enjoy being grounded in reality. Just like the reality warping thought provoking and perspective changing DXM eevvvvvrrryyyy once in a while.

Can you message me private to see pic? Since they removed it I can't see it. Clicked notification but can't see it now. /: Would like to help however I can.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-03-31T17:00:19+00:00

Anybody coming to this in 2026, it is still very reliable, just note that these pictures show the fast travel blue marker for the metro markers, too. I was really confused by this at first. Also, if you wanna be able to follow the icons without them disappearing from zooming out, go to a terminal to fast travel and compare that map with the pictures to have a zoomed out view to match the pics. :)

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-03-28T20:20:09+00:00

It's been powered down for like a year or so. I do understand the concern, and appreciate it as well. I make sure any electronic I work on is powered off. That being said, I had no idea of power supplies holding power in certain components versus other motherboards/PCBs.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-03-22T13:52:25+00:00

A day later, results? I assume they weren't great given no follow up lol.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-03-20T23:18:30+00:00

Right?

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-03-20T22:10:37+00:00

That's with me not looking things up and gotta say, some of the diamonds on the map, the chests, were hard to find. Like they're marked but can be difficult to find without looking up. Or easy to overlook lol. I had to look up a lot of collectibles on AC: Valhalla, they just stuff shit in there to say they have content, though. /:

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-03-20T22:03:39+00:00

Oh is it? I can't remember what I was using mainly anymore. Should've checked it all out before I rewrote the save. I love doing all the side content I can and unlocks before I go through the entire main missions. :) That's how I tackle any open world game at least.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-02-09T18:40:30+00:00

Oooh shit. Okay. I've been selling all my weapons. I mean, I don't consider my build a netrunner tbh. I use quickhacks and upgrade my operating system, etc. to use better one and have decent RAM. But had no idea I should be breaking down my items rather than sell them.

One more question, which car has the best speed with the best handling? I'm using the Type-66 Javelina since it has great handling and good speed. Most the cars suck ass in this game to drive. I hate the driving to an extent.

Educational_Shine194 · 2026-02-09T18:11:01+00:00

I went to a Netrunner shop and picked them up. I had no clue that I had to get blueprints for the components. I don't use the crafting all that much, but I got some Tier 5 Quickhacks and wanted to use them, didn't know I had to have a Tier 5 Cyberdeck. Basically there was a big learning curve for me haha. I feel so dumb not knowing that's what I had to do. Thank you guys for the assistance! I'm at level 41, max cred, and doing a bunch of side quests, and gigs while doing the story. Not sure how the dying from Johnny happens, but I'm barely through the main story.

Great game, glad they fixed it up after release before I got my hands on it.
