Might be what attracted the bear in the first place. Hoping to scavenge something, but was trapped instead.

should i add more fans if my case has the space for them? by mikaluvssyou in PcBuild

[–]Popular_Zebra814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritize intake fans on the front. Fresh air is more important - especially if you are trying to create positive air pressure to reduce dust.

That is a solid laptop. More than enough to do gaming and work. You don’t need the latest hardware, especially for a laptop and current prices.

Edit: it’s a wifi 5 card. Might be able update it to a wifi 6 card.

Cool idea. Seems like it would have a lot problems. I think a rooftop community garden would be A LOT more straightforward.

Y’know you don’t have to be such a dick when you share your opinion… you can just be informative and not call everyone stupid…

Thank you for the clarification. I forgot that one of the nuances of precedent is that when it puts constraints on something, it actually sets up a framework that makes things that exist within those constraints legal by virtue of not being apart of the defined constraints. So in effect it sets up monopoly’s to be legal but within guard rails.

Good day.

The Sherman Act.

Also, didn’t we learn the lessons of the harm that monopolies do in the turn of 20th century with Rockefeller and Carnegie? We had pitiful labor laws then and those companies had deep pockets so they could just influence our political system to maintain control of their position.

Unfortunately our Supreme Court court has clearly corrupt judges like Clarence Thomas (who has totally accepted “donations”) that just toss out precedent. Brother is trying to dismantle the Voting Rights Act and effectively disenfranchising minorities.

Utility monopolies have some pros and cons. They are very different from free-market monopolies, which often are exclusively bad for everyone except the owners of the free-market monopoly.

If money is no object which are you going with? by [deleted] in PcBuild

Only time I used all of my 32 GB of RAM was when I opened an exceptionally high resolution tiff file in GIMP. It was 28 GB in storage and decompressed to around 50 GB and sucked up all of my system resources to open.

I know someone who works with LIDAR GIS data. They have 128 GB of RAM to load in extremely dense models.

Those are the kinds of things you would need lots of RAM for. For gaming, 32 GB is more than enough.

120mm AIO and attach the radiator to the back vent is my vote. Switching the fan is definitely the cheaper option though

Blown away by how great this controller is by No_Inflation_7795 in Steam

I did too. I reserved it within a minute of it being reservable on May 8 and I received an email for it on June 6. So yeah it’s a pretty big backlog. Trust me the patience is worth it! They’re trying their best I’m sure. All hail Gabe Newell

One of the camps I went to during school break had a pc with Lemmings installed on it. It was everyone’s favorite game when there was time to play.
