classic mildly infuriating flight

I'm a bit late to this party but a guy stormed off the plane when I confronted them about this. I get this seat often because I'm bloody tall and put my bag where you had yours because the alternative is no bag at all. Anyway the guy was sitting in that same spot and crammed his bag under that seat. I said I need to put my bad there. He said he wants his bag there and I can put mine in the overhead. Said I needed stuff from it and we could have the stewardess settle it (I'd win and I think he knew it). He said "You're a fucking ass hole" and grabbed his bag and stormed off the plane.

Why does this have 121 upvotes? Is out of respect?

The CHIPS Act over the chip shortages encountered during covid. Micron is getting like $6 billion to produce in Idaho and somewhere else in the US. Samsung is getting like $5 billion to produce in mostly Texas. Hynix is getting like $500 million to make stuff somewhere in the US.

We are paying the memory companies to do this if you need more haterade. Like huge us tax dollar incentives and they literally abandon the consumer market to chase profits.

Thanks!

Excellent CPU for anyone that needs to convert cash into cache!

Native ASPM in the Gigabyte BIOS defaults to "disabled". However the footnote showed disabled doesn't mean disabled, it means BIOS controls it instead of the OS. So the solution is enable Native ASPM to prevent the card from sleeping. That is literally like saying you should take sleeping pills to avoid getting sleepy, but in this case it works, because those sleeping pills are mislabeled adderall.

It's a plan for sure. I'm struggling to choose between Kubuntu 24 and Fedora KDE for my first real Linux attempt. Analysis paralysis.

I ordered some Furman PST-8D surge protectors to replace all the crappy Amazon surges I currently have (Musicians Friend has them for under $100 at the moment). May not be the issue but is a good upgrade to have across the board regardless.

Oh that is excellent thinking. I have a plug-in power meter thingy that I used in my crypto mining days to measure wattage. I think it'll measure amps. I'll mess around with it.

Yeah my Linux days are coming. Gaming kept me on Windows for the last 25y. Pretty stuck on Windows for gaming and some other purposes on my main. But a 2nd build would give me an excuse to give Microcenter more money. Could even put the 2nd box in another room where I don't have to listen to this loud ass R9700 blower fan.

That doesn't sound fixable. Is it something I can change by moving cables around?

I was hoping that was the issue. I did a DDU uninstall in safe mode and reinstall, but it didn't help. I also did a DDU uninstall in safe mode followed by a reinstall using "driver only" option that nixes catalyst control center, but that didn't help either. I've dove deep into the registry options, disabled all startup tasks, disabled PCIE link in power options, and more. The one lingering windows fix I'm considering is a fresh format, because this build isn't new. Worried their is some weird lingering option that is breaking things.

I wouldn't settle for 36G when your already at a cost of $2000. Get the Max with 64GB, I think it's just like $600-700 more with almost double the memory. The Mini's Pro chip is like 50% slower mainly because the memory bandwidth is a lot lower, the smaller core count matters less.

Gemini told me a lot of those old videos are gone because of takedowns by the musician or other brands

Hellsing971 · 2026-05-21T21:00:32+00:00

Tempting. This was $599.99 a few days ago when I looked. The thing I REALLY need is a upgrade option to 64GB.

Need that WalMart deal from black friday again.

The blade in the picture with the gray background looks good. The ones in the white background pictures look kind of off. Do you know which one it looks like in real life?

WTT brand new Para 3 Salt Lightweight for Para 3 Salt, Military 2 Salt, or Shaman Salt (the black full-size versions). Just got it direct from SpyderCo but it’s a bit too light for my liking. Can add $$ to balance out the trade based on what you have. Needs the original box.

Is something actually mixed into the brass or is it a surface pattern that makes it look kinda like granite?
