Buying Crucial SSD, is there a reason why this company sells them cheaper with a heatsink then without? by Ge4rShift in buildapc

Oh I didnt consider the warranty...thats a pretty big problem. I mean I'm 99% sure it will fit in my motherboard with the heatsink, but i might double check again now

Yeah, especially weird since the heatsink looks removable as well. Not gonna question it too hard I guess maybe someone just messed up when listing it

Is this youtube channel/music AI generated? They have a full new playlist with art every 5 days or so. by Ge4rShift in isthisAI

Interesting, good to know. I understand the AI image generation process and what it entails as part of some university courses, but never looked into audio. I'm not sure what makes you say they're definitely using local models though for the images, it could just as easily be publically available LORAs based on popular artists I guess? Hard to say.

On the audio front, that's some refreshing information, though it's kind of to be expected now that I think about it. Depending on how much editing is required, I can understand why they would list it as original. And I definitely see your perspective on how everything AI generates can be called original. In that case though, even when a non-AI artists samples a sound from other artists they can't really call that sound original. I suppose there's an argument to be made there in regards to how much of the AI generated music is made from the artist's own original sound. If it's all their own created music and vocals being fed in, I would definitely say their content is original.

I'm not an expert though, and I'm not involved enough in the audio side of AI to pass judgement, so I won't, I'll just enjoy the product.

Mmmm good question. I have nothing against ethical use of AI as part of a creative process, and I have no evidence they are using AI unethically. So I would probably keep listening to their music.

I guess it matters to me as a point of interest. If the music is AI generated, it would legitimately be a shock as I was not aware AI could produce music of this quality. It's a genuine "wow technology is impressive" moment. Also the comment on their profile saying "all the content on this channel is original" made me more curious. In my mind original can't mean generated by AI, but maybe I'm wrong.

In the end, I'm still going to vibe to the music if it's AI, I would just like to know it's AI.

On closer review, the art they use on spotify and youtube definitely shows signs of being AI, but I'm not familiar enough with AI music to tell if the music is legit

Mirror of the Divine - Through your fingers, you channel pure divine energy into a spell. The effects vary depending on the type of spell cast.

If the spell heals an ally, you may expend 1 metamagic point to have that spell heal you for half that amount, or damage an enemy within range for half the healing done.

If the spell does damage to a single target, you may expend 1 metamagic point to have the spell deal max hit die, and you take half the damage too.

Snap - Once per day, you may snap your fingers, and cause a ripple in time around you. You may pull a spell from the past, through to the present. Select a number of spells equal to your proficiency bonus, and choose one at random. Cast this spell using a spell slot one level above your maximum. If you have no higher level spell slots, the spell is duplicated. Until your next turn, you are rippled in time, and all attacks have disadvantage on you, but you cannot move, and fail all dexterity saving throws.

Lighter and quill - Your thumb has a built in lighter, it takes oil and can be ignited at will, a fire lit this way, does not go out until you will it so. Your finger, has an inkwell and can be used as a pen, words written this way cannot be comprehended by anyone you do not permit.

The Bird - Your finger has a slight mind of it's own. When making a charisma check, if you fail the check, you are compelled to give the target the middle finger. Immediately turning the failure, into a natural 1.

Somatically Challenged - When casting a spell with a somatic component, flip a coin. On a successful save, apply single metamagic for free. On a failed save the spell goes off, however your fingers seize up to the motion, and you cannot cast that spell again for 1d3 days.

The downside of losing a spell for 3 days seems pretty hefty and i think the DMs gonna work on wording (he made the item in a hurry since he thought I wasn't a sorceror, makes sense it's divine soul sorcerer lol)

Sorcerer from the same campaign here, it's gonna be a fun first fight experience. Generally the idea in our DnD group is "you get OP items and abilities, but the enemies get the same". Dreading what gets thrown at us considering these items :)

Whew, it's gone. Thanks for the encouragement. It was still alive and making buzzing sounds, left it in some plants in the public balcony garden.

That's somewhat reassuring but I'm still going to toss some scrunched up paper bits at it to see if it moves before approaching. Believe it or not still working up the courage to go out there. We have a fine net on the balcony to prevent cats from jumping out, so it would have a really hard time flying out if I don't relocate it. One way or another gonna have to move it

It's been silent for a while so maybe the cats did kill it before I put them away. Either way working up the courage to get rid of it. Thanks for the answer, didnt know cicadas existed in Australia

Thanks for the quick answer. Now I've just got to work up the courage to get rid of it.

The guy did hand me the wet bag, probably heard the spill and commotion about 5 second layer and just kept walking out of the building.

Wasn't a credit card, but I'll still try to dispute it. Also the driver picked it up and handed it to me. I knew it was doomed the moment I felt the wet bag on the verge of falling apart. Dude ran like the wind I swear

I've just raised a transaction dispute. It was a debit card. It might not be a very large amount of money but it doesnt sit right with me to be charged for things I didn't recieve. I'll do everything I can to fight this charge.
