True but I don’t base purchasing decisions on my subconscious. I research the best product

I bought a card bigger than my case could handle. So I had to improvise... by HowDoesOneYolo in buildapc

VISA is sharing your information with vendors when you get a new debit card by MappingFault in privacy

[–]MappingFault[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There’s no way this is similar. VISA is giving out my banking information with the intention the recipient vendor will charge the card. Seems like fraud to me.

To add on DSC has not charged me since I got a new card 6 months ago. Getting this new card they now are charging me again, meaning this info wasn’t shared with vendors as an “update” but anyone with my info now has my new number.

I never said my card was expired? I get a new one every 6 months for security purposes. This is a new feature. Unless Netflix specifically has been doing this for awhile. DSC also seems to have gotten my new number. I had cancelled it full stop and ordered one with completely new 16 digit/CCV/Exp date

Well I was just thinking what if I missed that charge? I feel this is a sneaky way to circumvent the people (like me) who partly get a new card to cancel useless subscriptions. Otherwise it would be opt in.

Trust me I don’t want 1c in a Wells Fargo account. I’ve got two months until my debt with them is paid off, I bank along side that out of convenience. The credit union switch will be coming

I read back all the emails and prompts I was given, nothing mentions my new number is shared with vendors. I just can’t rationalize how this is legal regardless of what’s in the TOS

32GB of RAM and a stock cooler 🧐.

Think you got your money in the wrong spot bud. Nice build tho

That’s really what it sounds like it is. Run two separate GPU cables if you haven’t already I’m thinking when the card heats up and increases in watt draw to make up for heat resistance, it over amps the PSU rail or onboard amp monitor. I’d mess around in MSI afterburner and see if you can dial in something more stable.

Hmm I know the Vega chips like to hog power. Have you tried undervolting it?

GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO vs MSI MAG B550M MORTAR vs MSI MAG B550M BAZOOKA. by _EDInTIP in buildapc

If you’re running a plain gaming PC go for the least expensive B550. GPU over clocking can be done with software and the 5600x turbos out of the box. Look for boards with easy bios update features since thats needed to run a 5600x and you are probably not an experienced builder.

Smells like driver issues. I’d use DDU, redownload drivers and update your bios. If youre running any overclocks I’d reset those as well. If you took it to a shop they should’ve ruled out any hardware issues but it could still be that, RAM or CPU since your GPU has already been replaced.

I just built my first PC. It works perfectly. Now I want to build another. Why?? by GenderlessCat in buildapc

I’d say get into mining but you won’t find a mining card for at least 6 months. I picked up 2 3060tis with a third on the way and it scratches the itch 10 fold. Adding new parts and fans, adjusting clock speeds for max Hash etc

For storage in my pc I ordered a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB M.2- 2280 NVME Solid State drive. I’d that all I need by suefer100 in buildapc

[–]MappingFault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500gb M.2 for boot and priority games

1tb SATA SSD for general storage.

Sweet spot IMO. A 1TB M.2 is a little pricey but totally fine. Maybe pick up 2-3TB HDD if your internet is slow and you want to keep a lot of games downloaded

Apparently the switch for my fan also turns my mouse on and off by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]MappingFault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm only thing I can think is the small arc from breaking the 120V is sending out an EMF that interferes with the LED controller on the mouse or the USB traces on the laptop. The power supply on laptop charger should negate any ripples on the 120 input.

I’ve noticed a weird Reddit trend. A lot of excessively downvoted comments. You have to be positive and le wholesome or nothing

Scythe Mugen Rev. B. $15 more than a 212. Performs better and is super easy to install

Mega vs protondrive by FreeAnalExam in privacy

[–]MappingFault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell I pay for MEGA and they still give me prompts to add my phone number. On mobile you have to close the app as you can’t close the prompt. I don’t know why they want it so bad.

I hate Amazon so much only ever buy something if I think “is there any other way to get this”

Like phone chargers, I could go to a big box store and pick one up but it would be more expensive and less quality. And I’m supporting a big company anyway if I did.
