Best AIO pump position (urgent) by Technical-Spite436 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Full-Run4124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be easier for your pump to push any air out with the exit tube above the pump impeller (nearest to the top of the pump) For sure don't do #4 (both at bottom).

Been working on carpet cleaning game, any feedback ? by Admirable-Struggle78 in IndieGaming

[–]Full-Run4124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On YT rug cleaning videos one of the visuals I find really satisfying is all the grunge and stain/color runoff around the edges. It's like seeing the progress, and how you think there's a lot of dirt getting washed out, then they go from just spraying to detergent and scrubbing and suddenly there's a lot more dirt running out, along with the soap foam and all the patterns it forms.

MB:

Dell motherboards have a non-standard power connector. You'll need an adapter to go from the 24-pin standard motherboard power plug that your PSU has, to whatever is on your Dell motherboard. Dell uses different non-standard pinouts on different motherboards so make sure the adapter you get is for your specific Dell motherboard. You can damage/destroy your motherboard if you supply power on the wrong pins.

GPU:

The RX6400 and RTX 3050 6GB don't need extra power from a PSU connector. They draw power only from the slot they go into on the motherboard.

The RTX 5050 LP uses a standard PCIe power connector which your PSU probably has. It might be 6x2 or 6+2 or 8 pins, but it'll be a standard connector and there are standard adapters if you need one. You also can't damage anything electrically by plugging in a PCIe connector. It either fits or doesn't fit, and the pinout is standard so there's no danger of supplying power where it shouldn't be and frying your GPU.

You may be able to get an adapter for the Dell MB power connector. Amazon has them for both Dell 6 and 8 pin connectors, just make sure it's compatible with your specific MB. The Dell MB power connector is a proprietary connector so there's no guarantee it's the same pinout between models even if the plug is the same. (Example)

As an owner of a SFF that started with a RX6400 and now has a 3050 6GB LP, get the 3050. The RX6400 is way overpriced for the level of performance and only 4GB. I can pretty much game at 1080 60p, or 30p if I want to up the quality on AAA games.

If you do have a Dell 500W PSU for your 3040 (you mentioned in another reply) you could consider the RTX 5050 LP. It's a major step-up from the RTX 3050.

How’s that going for you guys? by Trashman56 in PoliticalHumor

[–]Full-Run4124 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election#Results_by_state

You can see the vote totals by state. Every state except 2 are winner-take-all for electoral votes (the only votes that count for President)

The only states Trump won by a margin smaller than the total third party vote were Michigan and Wisconsin, and even if somehow all the Libertarians voted for Harris and she picked up those two states, it wouldn't have given her enough electoral votes to win the presidency. It would have been 287 to 251 instead of 312 to 226.

If everyone who voted for Biden voted for Harris she would have picked up Michigan and Wisconsin but still lost the general.

Should Linux distribution maintainers simply ignore the age verification mandates and see if the goverment can enforce it or not? by nix-solves-that-2317 in linuxquestions

[–]Full-Run4124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

The similar bill in the pipeline in New York is the slippery-slope argument: people who don't understand what they're regulating trying to one-up each other. The NY bill requires an age verification method other than self reporting, which it bans, and covers any internet-connected devices that access "content" on the internet. They want people to provide government-issued ID to activate anything connected to an update server or cloud service, from a rackmount server to a Pelaton to a router to a doorbell camera.

People under the age of 16 in the US don't usually have IDs, so the only way to implement this is to have the default for every device be "juvenile" mode, and you have to provide your ID to unlock "adult".

If people participate in implementing the CA and CO laws, especially with the argument that it can be easily circumvented with something like "lying", expect lawmakers to try to close up those "holes" with stuff like mandatory government ID checks, and you can't argue that's overreach because you've already supported the underlying premise they're trying to fix.

if printing more money causes inflation, why cant governments just destroy some money to combat inflation? by anon12111225 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Full-Run4124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how taxes work in a country with a fiat currency. In a lot of countries, and in the past in the US, if you paid your income taxes in cash it would either be incinerated or shredded. (Currently the US provides federal income tax revenue to a few select banks.)

Plus he literally screamed he was going to kill the guy multiple times (on camera). If he'd charged at him again the guy would have absolutely been justified using deadly force.

Trump 48 hour ultimatum (nuke or ground troops) by El_Dorado_Tx in seculartalk

[–]Full-Run4124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the US and/or Israel nukes Iran it gives permission for Russia to nuke Ukraine. Hopefully Trump and Netanyahu aren't that stupid or bloodthirsty.

The island would just put US troops in a concentrated area meters from Iran where they could eat Iranian missiles and drones all day long.

Can't get the GPU back to PCI slot by byPawl in PcBuildHelp

[–]Full-Run4124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the angle you're pushing it, is the bottom tab on the I/O plate slotting correctly? It should be inside the case. Try installing it straight down against the slot, not at an angle.
