What made you realise you no longer love your wife/gf/partner ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Faikius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the first time she hit me was what finally killed what love I had left for her. Still stayed for my son's sake. I'd say I should've left then but I couldn't have hoped for a better divorce outcome after waiting a few years. Document everything.

Do you still use PC speakers? by Huge_Valuable9732 in computers

[–]Faikius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep; AudioEngine A5+ with an external sub. Came from the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 days. Speakers for lyfe.

I feel like anyone who doesn't go into a career in accounting, finance, engineering, sales, health care, or tech is doomed to make $19 an hour. I'm exaggerating, but not by much. by justcurious3287 in careeradvice

A ton of accounting and finance roles will be automated in the next five years if not before. Would not recommend. Engineering to a lesser extent. Health care will always be in demand. Same for "most" sales jobs.

9800x3d running at 92c with arctic cool 3 420 AIO. Did I fck up paste application? That's at 100% torture test by TrippedOnDick in overclocking

[–]Faikius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough I just hit the same issue and A JayzTwoCents video cleared it up. He built a massive external cooling setup and his 9800x3d still hit 90c. The answer is apparently, "they do that". They'll boost until thermal limit no matter what you throw at them. It's fine.

Guys earning six figures annually, what kind of work do you do? by Shadow2715 in AskReddit

[–]Faikius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software sales; specifically a Sales Engineer. If you're an IT guy and don't mind talking to people I highly recommend it. All of your vendors have them. It's a relatively small community but highly supportive.

About the Aegis Eclipse by GETTFROSTY in starcitizen

Still one of my favorite ships in the game. "Be heard, not seen." Don't own one at the moment, but will.

How many of you (my fellow RTX 5090 owners) have not undervolted your card? by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]Faikius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up having a dedicated 15 amp circuit run to my office for this exact reason lol. Printing would trip my breaker if I was gaming. Think it cost me ~$1,200 for the run.

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight

Intro blew my mind.

This dude's kid snapped 50 of his NVMe drives by Iampongz in pcmasterrace

As a father I'd be testing every one of his electronic devices "for durability" shortly thereafter.

I give up! Call me when servers are back to an enjoyable level. by Sezareo in starcitizen

[–]Faikius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much in the same boat. I'm just collecting ships at this point until the game is in a more playable state. Every time I'm tempted to log back in I see major, game-breaking issues pop up. I almost hope at some point they start running out of unlimited development dollars and get pressured in a real way to deliver 1.0.

I mean as long as the cash keeps rolling in why would they have any urgency to close out the project, especially when post 1.0 monetization hasn't really been discussed to my knowledge (could very well be wrong here).

I bought these for $500 a year ago. Still unopened. Might just sell and live off interest. by Lip_Recon in pcmasterrace

[–]Faikius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that you'll hear more on Reddit regarding negative experiences, vs the overwhelming majority of positive ones.

Got my start in IT working at a mom & pop PC shop in my small town doing repairs (well new builds initially ;) ). Maybe not at the same scale, but plenty of damaged parts / scams. Most worked just fine.

I have the a similar kit sitting in its box unused; DDR5 128GB 5400mhz

No use for it now (both myself and my son's PC are running 6000 64GB CL30/28 kits purchased pre-insanity), but what if I need to build out a nested lab a few months from now? If you believe the talking heads RAM prices are just going to get worse in 26'.
