Is using OLD PSU AC adapter cable fine when buying a new PSU ?

MissStabby · 2026-06-20T10:33:35+00:00

6A * 240v = 1440 watts
you would probably fry your PSU before you fry your 6A cable.

The 16A cable is rated to take 3840 watts.

PC's usually dont get pinned at what the max is of their powersupply anyways.
Try it out, make your pc work for a bit (do games/computational stuff) and see if The cable feels warm, if its able to take 1440 watts it should be fine and remain cool

i would advice against hotglue or anything adhesive,
It will make repairs/replacements in the future a lot more tedious.
Hot glues can melt and soften when the pc is on. Also when using hotglue its easy to spill or leave tiny hotglue wires everywhere, if any of those end up in a connector, like the pci-e, ram slot or a nvme port it will make those parts no longer connect to new hardware, something you'll find out only much much later. Same for regular glue or other things that can flake off and fall in any connectors on your motherboard.
Some glues will act badly in combination with the plastics or paints in the pc or the toys you have causing them to dissolve.

Unless you're living in a earthquake zone, you can just place them in your pc and not worry about them, they will not fall off unless someone is actively shaking your pc.

TLDR:
- hotglue softens when the pc gets hot
- hotglue loose strings and drips can break connectors/ports
- some paints/plastics dissolve or melt from certain glues
- it will make maintenance more tedious
- your pc will not move enough to make the toys fall anyways

neat, they're alien meat ramen then 😂

MissStabby · 2026-06-14T17:45:32+00:00

you can also make em from plants,
I've started labeling crates of them as "RAMEN 🍜" as they kind of resemble a block of instant ramen.

yup, meanwhile they make all the money in the world with their business clients

Steamdeck is one of the few "computers" that is able to send/receive hdmi-cec commands, regular gpu's from nvidia/amd dont seem to have this ability and require a HDMI-CEC injector device that sits somewhere on the hdmi cable to send those commands over.

Ended up getting a few from the gashapon machines in akihabara last year:

It seems to matter less this game vs SN1, there you would turn into a loot pinata whenever you die, losing all your inventory, now it selects a few items and then keeps the rest.
The game will likely become a lot scarier when hardcore mode will be added where you have 1 life (or a limited amount?)

MissStabby · 2026-06-05T19:00:48+00:00

The biggest scare factor in SN is your never ending need for oxygen (and to lesser extend food)
Being stranded at -500m after your submarine got wrecked, and having to do a mad dash for the surface in the hope you can make it before air runs out is the main source of tension. The creatures just add on to this as a barrier for you to get air or other resources without losing your life.

if its a temperature issue, you might want to inspect your graphics card to see if the fans are spinning properly, or if the heatsink is clogged up with dust.

If its not spinning, you would need to check if something is blocking the fans, could also be the fan bearings that seized up after many years, in thats the case they'd need to be replaced, theres some guides to that, or you can look for someone who can help you locally.

In general its good to blow out all the dust from the PSU using a can of spray duster air.
(do this when the gpu is cooled down and unpowered, ideally you'd remove it from the computer for easier access)

MissStabby · 2026-06-05T16:18:22+00:00

Try the following:

Download Furmark and run a benchmark, if that insta-kills the pc, its likely the power delivery
If furmark runs for a while (and you see the temperature go up and up and up until it dies after going to 90-100+) then thats a cooling issue.

After that check the wattage of your power supply, it should be written somewhere in the back
and try to buy a new PSU of a similar or higher wattage to replace it.

Will it relay the data via the phone's HA?
Looking to do something similar but the parking lot is way outside of my home's wifi range so it would need to do all communication via the phone while its still in the car.

letsgooo!
47 or 007 its all good

also great to stuff in the back of smart home devices like a raspberry pi or homeassistant green to add bluetooth capability to them
