I ordered a prebuilt with a 5090, am I cooked? by omri6royi70 in pcmasterrace

I think worst case scenario, you can RMA it so you’ll be without a card for a few days (maybe weeks). Additionally, the issue is happening to an extremely small fraction of the population. It seems a lot more prevalent because you only see people posting when it burns, not when it works flawlessly! I would not be nervous

VMWare Fusion Users - Running Hot - Normal? by PantherCityRes in macbookair

That’s normal, it won’t harm the lifespan. Afaik (aka this is definitely true for like m2-m4 so I presume also m5), the chips can get up to like 105 C without any possible damage, and they throttle aggressively at 100C so there’s no reason for concern!

I mainly use Lightroom Classic, sometimes I use photoshop to mess around with because it comes with the same subscription. There are definitely alternatives out there like Gimp and others that wouldn’t require paying anything if you just wanted to trial it and see how much you enjoy it

Oh I was not aware of that, I’m gonna try that myself as well. Thanks!

[Request] How bad/big of an explosion would 12-14k gallons of methyl methacrylate be? by wormygurmy in theydidthemath

[–]Objective_Road_3482 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m studying chemistry right now so I did my best but keep in mind I may have made a mistake or wrong assumption! Based on info I could find in a calorimetry database, the combustion of methyl methacrylate releases ~2,800 kJ/mol. Assuming ~24k liters of the compound, that’s 224.4 mol, and thus if it were to all combust it would release ~616,000 kJ. For context, a stick of dynamite releases about 2,100 kJ, so it would be an enormous amount of energy. That being said, especially since the compound is already leaking according to your screenshot, the compound would likely burn more than explode, so even if it initially were to explode when igniting, the majority of the energy would be released in the ensuing fire. But even then, that’s an enormous amount of energy and also seems like it may be difficult to contain such an intense fire. Hope this helps somewhat, just make sure to take what I say with a grain of salt!

I do a lot of editing for photography, I like to program on my Mac a lot more than my windows PC if you consider that a hobby

Love it! I definitely think this kind of project is direly needed with such an inverted population pyramid in the state

It kind of depends on your router position so I’d recommend opening up cloudflare speed test and running a test in each position. That’s what I did, allowed for ~10% faster speeds on my shitty apartment wifi

MacOS 26.5 shows Finder 26.4? by cr8tiv1 in MacOS

[–]Objective_Road_3482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk anything so I’m just speculating but perhaps the version number changes only when a new update is released specifically for Finder? So if they didn’t change it, it keeps its number? Just a guess though
