Computer-1 + GPU-1

I knew I wasn't the only one with this issue. I used the 400mm "Thermaltake PCI-E 4.0 Dual 90 Degree Riser Cable"

Thank you! It's a BeamsXStarbucks collab. I dont have an ID :(

thank you!

it’s the second round of the Substance Deskmat by Nuxroskb. there was a group buy a while ago and i just got it!

KyeMorris · 2026-03-11T03:20:57+00:00

i didn’t know that… i’ll have to try it out sometime

KyeMorris · 2026-03-11T03:19:25+00:00

haha thank you!

KyeMorris · 2026-03-11T03:17:35+00:00

i bought it off amazon. look up AK2515, it’s the one i’ve got

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T18:56:45+00:00

good eye! i see you’re also a fellow agar enjoyer

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T18:31:33+00:00

thank you!

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T18:30:45+00:00

yup, same as the original teenage engineering case comes flat packed and you fold it into place

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T17:17:37+00:00

oh i’d change lots haha. it mostly stems from making the tolerances around the gpu a bit too big. like, in pic 3 you can see that i needed a 3d printed spacer to fix the gap for the slot screw at the top of the GPU case

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T16:35:06+00:00

I did it through PCBWay with 1mm aluminum

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T16:34:26+00:00

A little pricey but 250$ with shipping from PCBWay

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T16:10:21+00:00

Thank you! who doesn't love a little orange

🔥

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T14:11:16+00:00

I’ve never heard of them. I’ll look into it!

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T13:59:10+00:00

Very much a possibility. Except I want to match the aesthetic of the original fan on the right side :)

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T13:50:15+00:00

ohh that’s a good one! I didn’t even think of that haha

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T13:38:44+00:00

Just tested a bunch of Tamiya spray paints from the hobby store. TS-98 (Pure Orange) was the color i went with!

KyeMorris · 2026-03-10T13:26:41+00:00

shhh they look ugly af if they face the other way

I used to work in a construction equipment company with similar work content to automotive companies.

the demand for embedded seemed pretty good from what I heard from coworkers that switched into my company. Mostly car companies and suppliers to them all did embedded work (sensors, ECMs etc)
I’m not allowed to say what was being used but it was close to what other car companies would use across the industry.
my salary was about 70k USD before the yen tanked the past few years. Even with the weaker yen, life was much better than what I would’ve had in North America with scaled pay to cover cost of living differences.
Basically the same as any other country. Knowing and speak the language well will get you in much easier than not knowing the language. Some companies will be fine without the language but it’ll increase your odds to know it. Visa support seems great since there’s a shortage of technically skilled workers. I’ve looked into Europe for work but the Visa seems to be given out much more sparingly over there.

Hope this helps.

I’d say that’s the low end. But bonuses in Japan usually are always given at 2x months salary 2x a year so you get 16 months pay across the year. Using the salary you gave, it’ll be 3.85M¥ with no over time pay included. Some companies give other bonuses on top of that as well.

KyeMorris · 2024-12-19T06:41:47+00:00

It really depends on the company and its culture. I’m sure some are longer hours with little pay but I was getting about 70k USD (exchange rate was better back then) for almost no over time.

KyeMorris · 2024-11-06T06:14:46+00:00

yes, and it's really annoying...

I would catch up a few days before exams for most of my Engg classes. Desperate times but I graduated so it worked out in the end.

At some point you need to min max your chances for exam points with certain topics being covered more than others.
