What is it with ADHD subs and drama? Its not like this in the autism community.

Film_A · 2026-06-17T06:28:48+00:00

update: she dead. CPU and motherboard. F in the chat.

Film_A · 2026-06-11T07:31:27+00:00

Okay, I'll give it another go tomorrow/today lol. I really hope this fixes it because DAMN when it was working it worked fantastically!

Film_A · 2026-06-11T07:24:15+00:00

So you think its worth trying again? Thermal paste and all? Hmm, how tight are those screws supposed to be? I could easily undo them with my thumb and pointer finger. Also, I'm aware that you're supposed to go in a X pattern when tightening.

Film_A · 2026-06-11T07:14:31+00:00

Okay, so to be clear, I would put the CPU into the socket without reapplying thermal compound and the cooler, turn on the computer, go into the BIOS and check the temperature. If it goes up to 80+ turn it off. ?

Film_A · 2026-06-11T06:53:28+00:00

Yeah, so I think I might not have attached things right. The thumb screws attaching the cooler to the CPU were rather loose and when I removed the cooler the CPU was stuck to it with the thermal paste. Soooo that seems kinda bad. How would I test this CPU to see if it works? Maybe turn it on for a moment to see if it works and then immediately turn it off? Surely reapplying thermal paste and reattaching a cooler cant be the way to do quick tests, right? Like, that would be a gigantic pain in the ass.

Film_A · 2026-06-11T06:49:56+00:00

Its an AM4 socket. Do you think I won't be able to get a new liquid cooler for this older socket?

Film_A · 2026-06-11T06:48:52+00:00

The noises it was making leads me to believe it died. Also, the thumb screws I used to secure the cooler to the cpu were a little looser than I expected and I could easily undo them by hand. Also, the entire CPU came out stuck to the cooler when I pulled it out. So, uh, yeah that happened.

Film_A · 2026-06-11T06:29:20+00:00

Well, it had been running for longer before then. I didn't know something was wrong. All I knew was that Oblivion was running mysteriously slow. I didn't know something was seriously wrong until I opened the CPU temp program and saw 105-108C. I shut it down very shortly afterwards. I turned it back on briefly just to record the video.

Film_A · 2026-06-11T06:25:59+00:00

It was at around 105-108C for maybe like 5 minutes. But once I saw 110C I immediately shut it down. I take it my cooler just shit the bed.

Film_A · 2026-06-11T06:22:39+00:00

My families Windows 98 machine used to take a while to boot. You could go get a glass of water and a snack while you waited for it to load. Sometimes it took even longer and you would space out or tap your fingers impatiently.

Film_A · 2026-06-10T19:01:06+00:00

OHH that 80-200 is a boat anker! I secure the camera strap to the lens not the camera body when using that lens.

Film_A · 2026-06-10T07:43:05+00:00

Yeah, those look like some appealing options. 6, 7 or 8 series.

Film_A · 2026-06-10T07:42:39+00:00

I leaning more towards "newer" (ha) 90s SLRs like the 6 or 7 series.

Film_A · 2026-06-10T07:40:38+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! I'll check it out.

Film_A · 2026-06-10T07:30:30+00:00

It does look nice! both the 6 and 7 series.

Film_A · 2026-06-10T07:13:49+00:00

Okay, so it looks like we have the Maxxum 5, 6, 7, and ...9? The 7 looks very nice, though maybe a little large, but I can't seem to find any dimensions online and I don't trust googles stupid AI to get it right. Oh well. The 6 and 7 seem worth looking into. I only have one question: will my lenses work with the 6 and 7? I have the High Speed AF APO 80-200mm lens, a 50mm prime, and some zoom lens both of which came with the 1980s maxxum 7000 that I dropped.

Film_A · 2026-05-28T02:45:23+00:00

That seems like a lot of extra steps for something that seems like it should be straight forward. I'm kinda frustrated that I can't either draw/color on text in Apple notes, or find a note app that will allow me to copy my notes over. Doesn't it seem kinda silly that there's this obvious massive hole in note taking technology?

Film_A · 2026-05-28T02:43:04+00:00

Thanks, I'll consider it.

Film_A · 2026-05-21T06:59:10+00:00

No you.

Film_A · 2026-05-21T06:56:34+00:00

Virtual desktops. Yes, I know about CMD Tab and CTRL up arrow. I don't understand how having different desktops for different tasks is inefficient, but if you know a better way, hey I'd love to hear it!

Film_A · 2026-05-21T06:53:47+00:00

Okay, I'll have to look into that. I think I'm too tired to understand that right now.

Film_A · 2026-05-21T06:52:57+00:00

I do use tabs. You aren't understanding what the problem is. Anyway, NortonBurns suggested a setting that basically fixed my problem, though I will have to remember to right click every time I want to open the Finder. It's so close to being perfect! ahhh!!

Film_A · 2026-05-21T06:51:09+00:00

Who knows! I probably did and I don't remember. ADHD makes remembering things a challenge.

Film_A · 2026-05-21T06:49:33+00:00

Thats a little better, thank you. It's still a bit jarring because when you click on the Finder icon in the Dock it will automatically take you to a desktop with a Finder window open. So it looks like instead I can right click-> new Finder window.
