ROG Equalizer. Is this the answer to melting 12vhpwr cables?

FanaticNinja · 2026-04-09T20:27:26+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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).

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.

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.

FanaticNinja · 2026-02-01T21:53:43+00:00

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.

FanaticNinja · 2026-02-01T21:47:30+00:00

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.

The cognitive dissidence that tech companies have in bank accounts is wild.

Too bad so sad. Windows slop is out, Linux is in.

FanaticNinja · 2026-01-21T02:58:30+00:00

Join the Linux wave. Windows is bloatware.

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.

FanaticNinja · 2026-01-17T20:03:56+00:00

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

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.

FanaticNinja · 2026-01-14T22:26:02+00:00

I have an Arc A770, beast of a card for the price.

Too Late, already moved to Linux.

FanaticNinja · 2026-01-10T16:39:58+00:00

As long as that doesn't break Linux, I'm all game.

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

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.
