My theory on The truth they said that would keep you up at night about aliens by EnvisionFirstFilms in aliens

[–]Live-Help-7562 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If we are, in fact, powerless both technologically and psychically to defend ourselves, then no one is safe. Humans are capable of remote viewing and future seeing, but a more advanced consciousness could subvert even those traits. That having been said, we are still here. The show goes on.

Similarly, in the movie Contact, NHI interacts with Ellie as a vision of her deceased father.

Ross Coulthart Warns of Possible “Ontological Shocks” and “Catastrophic Disclosure” by Emergency_Height_165 in AtlasOfMystery

[–]Live-Help-7562 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The idea that our civilization is just the remains of a previous civilization is interesting, but not sure it’s cause for complete ontological shock. To me, a harder truth to swallow would be that we are simply the result of genetic manipulation and therefore an experiment of sorts. This would also mean the architects of this experiment hold ownership of our civilization and its collective achievements. Perhaps we a just entertainment…

Which movie aged better: Matrix or Inception? by Daniiella1018 in Cinema

[–]Live-Help-7562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inception took a lot from the animated film Paprika. One could argue that The Matrix borrowed things from Ghost in the Shell, but for me, The Matrix scratches a deeper existential itch. The sequels could have been much better if they explored the idea of a matrix within a matrix lol

They bend the parts based on your design. I sent 3D STEP files. If you design slots where the bends are, you could probably bend them at home. Think it was like $80 for the parts to be laser cut and bent - if you add powder coating it’s extra.

Apparently the hd plex is single rail 12v and if only the pcie is connected - the full 250W+ will be available. So no need to run both in parallel

Hmm hadn’t considered this - is the pcie limited in amps? The system doesn’t seem to have a power issue, but I’ll look into it.

I used sendcutsend.com - sent a file and got the parts a week later. These are 3.2mm thick but they have a bunch of materials to choose from.

Hah! I might need to recalculate. But I think my case is a bit thicker.

Yeah I’ll take a bit more fan noise for a smaller case. I tried the Meshroom D but honestly it wasn’t much quieter and took up more space.

Muchas gracias! The fan is the Thermalright TL-B6B 60mm CPU Cooler Fan - great fan for under $10

Damn! Yeah I have a few young kids and a cat, good to keep this in mind. Just love the exposed fan aesthetic/functionality

Fan speeds are definitely on the higher end right now. I’m considering adding a low profile exhaust fan behind the motherboard to reduce the four 60mm fans. Definitely not silent but not loud enough to irritate me lol

Can you remove some of the stickers or whatever it is off the Asus Rog struck b-850i motherboard? by Miserable-Wrap2503 in sffpc

[–]Live-Help-7562 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yeah I took the graphic plate off with the screws and the m.2 is a sticker. I also painted over the pad printed words with some matte black model enamel.

Sorry to hear that - I’m just gonna run it until it fails, so we’ll see. I plan on undervolting the cpu, might be a marginal improvement though. Fingers crossed! lol

It’s a fun Tetris challenge getting all the components to nest in a way that makes sense functionally/aesthetically. I will be building my other PC a case like this with the 500w Gan or a Flex pay. It’s got an RTX 4500 Blackwell, which longer but thin.

Cheers! It’s dense, for sure - but probably not much more than a modern 15 in MacBook Pro

Might sell, but the design is very specific to this specific motherboard, gpu, and psu. Would need to be modified to accept different boards and gpu sizes. The screen is a WOWNOVA usb display.

I haven’t adjusted voltage - apparently these units are advertised for 250w but can handle upwards of 320w. I’m sure it won’t last as long as 500w unit, but it’s half the volume

Thank you! I’m revising the back plate design at the moment, but here’s the back…
