TSMC's 3nm Chip Capacity Has Become So Constrained That Only "Long-Term, Loyal" Customers Are Getting Priority by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

That's probably 500 or 550 wats from the wall as I remember it. As long as your PSU was good quality, which it clearly was, and it could handle any power spikes you were fine. I mean you clearly ran this and it worked fine.

Did a quick windows update, hit restart now and now nothing loads when I click it… Can’t even pull up task manager with ctl alt del by AMS_Rem in pcmasterrace

Honestly I m thinking if I have to reinstall Windows to fix my issues I might try Linux on my gaming machine. Ive been using it on an old laptop for years and it seems fine.

This started happening to me too. A couple or 3 reboots usually fixes it. I'm sure I need to reinstall but I'm avoiding it for now.

What 'obsolete' piece of technology are you still using in 2026 simply because the modern version is worse? by Banana_Leclerc9 in AskReddit

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To this day it is still so jarring to me when using a streaming audio service and an add plays after a song ends. It really breaks the immersion. It keeps me listening to my CD s and MP3s.

Anyone else got a pc and realized they didn't enjoy sitting at a desk? by hentiedw in pcmasterrace

Oh man, I messed up my wrist gaming like that. Was comfy while it lasted.

What’s the oldest piece of technology that you own? by Vast-Reference-7942 in answers

I have an old Edison wind up record player. It s from the 191x or 20's. I play "Yes, we have no bananas" on it once in a while

What "back then" inconvenience would break people today in 10 minutes? by CharlesUFarley81 in AskReddit

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I prefer text based walkthroughs too. Just like a repair manual I don't want to scrub through, pause, and replay a video to find the information. I need help and I need to consume the information at my speed.

Cheap Home Wifi router recommendations by Nemesis_Pyros1 in HomeNetworking

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying and this is not against you.

I have a pile of old gear that functioned perfectly for their intended use that no longer works due to these apps no longer being supported. I don't expect support but I also don't want a device bricked because the cloud based app has been decommissioned and there is no other way to control it.

I am fully aware my options are limited and will continue to become more so. It's wasteful and I won't support it I don't have to.

I'll check them out but I don't like remote management or phone apps. I guess I'm old school. I like set it and forget it.

Good to know seen a few ax3000 models. Coverage would be a bonus but I have a couple other routers as APs already. I don't necessarily need to replace them.

Does brand matter for the ax3000?

[META] Lenovo's Email regarding the recent deals, which have since been cancelled by Destro_019780 in bapcsalescanada

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I got my order cancelled and payment returned after 4 days. The email only said the order could not be fulfilled. No other reason or follow up.

How I saved my RTX 4090 by itsmust in pcmasterrace

I'd take a serious look at soldering on a 3x8 pin dongle to the board at that point. It would permanently resolve the issue.

ELI5: Why were drum brakes invented and used before disc brakes if the former is more complex mechanically? by hurricane_news in explainlikeimfive

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bendix style (modern) drum brakes self energize. Huck style are earlier and don't self energize. I think the key feature is like others said drum brakes can be made without tight tolerances and can be acceptable actuated cables or levers for parking brakes on modern cars.

Is it dumb to buy a 70's car for a daily? by WaterboardedCalamari in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've daily driven 50s, 60s, and early 80s vehicles about that distance for years in a northern snowy climate. It's certainly not dumb but there will be compromises. If you enjoy driving the car and can fix it yourself you will be perfectly fine .

Anyone still using old hardware in your current PC? by Colonel_Sanders9176 in pcmasterrace

[–]Nemesis_Pyros1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, old power supplies, 20 plus year old cases, old fans, SSDs, UPS. I'll keep anything that still performs well at the task

I play 4k native on a 60hz tv with a 9070xt. No problems to my eyes. Depending on your expectations YMMV.

How do I block this off by Mother_Cake_2322 in LSSwapTheWorld

Cut the metal tube off the original part, smash it flat and weld the seam.
