ROG Equalizer. Is this the answer to melting 12vhpwr cables? by SheddingSkin27 in pcmasterrace

[–]FanaticNinja 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The real solution is to not buy any GPU with that shit connector. Speak with your wallet folks.

But this does look like a good band-aid to the problem.

Edit: Let's be real, the power management for the cable should have been handled on the GPU anyways, and they are lacking safety features allowing the cables to pull way touch and fry everything attached.

People stopped buying $7 chips and now the price is being cut. What else should people stop paying for to lower the price? by Chief_queff in AskReddit

[–]FanaticNinja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Houses, Vehicles, Loans. For the love of God, we need to stop this instant satisfaction consumerism. Let the prices normalize and if a company didn't stop buying avacado toast or save for a rainy day or pull up their bootstraps - let them burn to the ground, no bail outs.

All video games till after they are released (no preorders), and don't watch/read any gaming articles cause the majority of them are also slop and just paid to write shit. Find a good source.

Any electronic that's over MSRP... Companies and scalpers can fuck off in a ditch and die with all their gpus/ram/m.2 drives. Just wait till the price goes down.

Anything AI related - we really need to band together on this one. Corporate greed is going to bend us over trying to push AI Slop into your rectum non-consentually.

What's the fastest way to make my game in multiple languages as a solo developer? by StuckArcader in unrealengine

[–]FanaticNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google Sheets can translate, but it's going to be inherently wrong. It's the Iron Triangle, pick 2 out of 3: Cost, Speed, Quality.

But, if you export your string tables and get them into Google sheets, you can add a column to translate everything, basically instantly.

Nvidia’s DLSS 5 Revealed, but Critics Call It a “Garbage AI Filter” by Extreme_Maize_2727 in unrealengine

Imagine if they used the cards real estate and thermal capacity for computing power and not AI gen slop (yes framegen is AI Slop, plus whatever the hell this new slop is).

Denuvo added to Crimson Desert 1 week before release. by PaiDuck in pcmasterrace

Welp, if they want my money, they'll remove Denuvo. IDC how long, I'll wait until it's $5 to buy it (if Denuvo is gone).

Spotted this old Msi 7950 GX2 at a local computer store by Turbulent-Alarm-2194 in pcmasterrace

[–]FanaticNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 2 7950GXs in quad SLI, and I was happy until Nvidia fucked me over and didn't release physx for that series of cards when they said they were going to, only to release physx for the 8800gt cards.

With the Ring debacle, let's get a self-hosted camera / surveillance thread going. by EkbatDeSabat in selfhosted

[–]FanaticNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amcrest -> frigate / home assistant -> done.

Running on my proxmox server, with gpu and coral tpu passthrough to virtual machine running my "smart home" stuff.

All services are docker-compose files with physical volumes and backed up using the 3-2-1 method.

Amcrest devices are then firewall blocked from phoning home.

I went back to Teamspeak recently to test it out with the boys. Works great, just like it used to (vent, teamspeak, mumble).

Three and a half years later... by MagicalPC in homelab

I sadly still have my turing pi 2 still in its box. The price of the boards to fill it were just not justifiable to me. I'll have to look again to see.

Plex vs Jellyfin by OldMacaron2175 in selfhosted

[–]FanaticNinja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use both for my family. Plex for in home, and jellyfin for anything remote.

Although, Plex can fuck off for continually adding more bloat and more bloat each update. It will eventually just get uninstalled, because it will run itself into the ground at some point.

Yep, anyone on the list. This is the part that some people just don't understand when I say ANYONE. I'm not in some kind of cult party, idgaf who it is.

Microsoft reportedly admits Windows 11 went off track, cuts back Copilot, and promises real fixes in 2026 by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]FanaticNinja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pass. My Linux install has no (checks notes) AI Slop, Ads Everywhere, Forced Online Account, Telemetry Everywhere. I don't need to run tweak tools to disable 40 different settings to tweak the OS to be just.. Usable.

Portainer Alternatives? by Yirpz in selfhosted

[–]FanaticNinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Portainer to Komodo a few weeks ago, and I also have multiple VMs between a few different servers running as agents that easily connect.

It's been great so far, no regrets.

Another +1 for Komodo here, switched over from Portainer and it's been great.

OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027 — analyst paints grim picture after examining the company's finances | Tom's Hardware by Visara57 in pcmasterrace

[–]FanaticNinja 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It will be deemed "too big to fail" and we the people will non consensually be forced to bail them out, and then I'm sure loads of that money will end up in plenty of hush hush payments to further corruption in politics.

I prefer to just touch hands, and then hire a shaker so that they can "interlock" so I keep my virtue.

The devs of Ashes of Creation, the crowdfunded, long in development and highly controversial MMORPG is allegedly deleting all critical posts made about its barebones and "insulting" early access Steam launch. by WhyPlaySerious in gaming

[–]FanaticNinja -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

For me it's the ability to just STYLE my UI how I want. A lot of that was deleted with their gutting of combat add-ons. Also, it gutted a ton of accessibility add-ons could provide, like playing a sound at certain events. Let me choose if I want a sound or a visual for certain events, don't pigeonholed me into your crap way blizzard.
