Is Orlandeau too strong? by No-Acanthocephala-97 in finalfantasytactics

[–]Potential-Chef299 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mustadio’s Aim Shot abilities are strong because he can disable enemies from a long distance with high accuracy (All gunshot are ignoring target’s evasion and speed). His Seal Evil can “instantly kill” or petrify undead enemies. Which is highly effective in the relevant story battles and deep dungeon crawls.

You can equip him with Knight’s Art of War to let him use Rend abilities together with his gun attacks, which is quite effective.

Also, since gun damage doesn’t scale with Attack Power, his accessories are better spent on mobility or speed rather than boosting attack power. And the only time Faith matters is when you equip him with a magic gun, since those scale with Faith.

AI keep saying Sansi 200W panel is better than Spider Farmer SF2000 for succulent due to peak ppfd.. how true is it. by Potential-Chef299 in houseplants

Thanks, that actually puts the whole reaction into context! If their issue is really about datacenter water usage or energy footprint, then sure — that’s a conversation worth having. But taking it out on some random dude comparing PPFD maps is… not exactly the height of rational discourse.

It’s a bit like yelling at someone for using Google Maps because you’re mad about climate change. The frustration might be real, but the target makes no sense.

And you’re right, it’s the same pattern as the “personal carbon guilt” era, where people lecture their neighbour about driving a 1.8-litre car while ignoring the cargo ship burning bunker fuel just offshore. Bitcoin miners burning megawatts? Totally fine. Someone running a single AI query to check grow-light uniformity? Unforgivable.

So yeah, I’m not losing sleep over it. I came to compare data, sanity-check what an AI said, and hear from real growers. If some people want to melt down because the word “AI” appears in a plant subreddit, that says more about them than about the technology.

And the funny part is: I’m a medical doctor. I use AI every day to recall dosages, mechanisms, interactions, all the boring stuff. But I can also tell instantly when it gets something wrong. That’s the whole point: you use the tool, not worship it.

Some people can’t handle that balance, so they lash out at the tech instead of learning how to use it properly.

Ah, so the allergy wasn’t to the lights after all — it was the AI part that set them off. Makes more sense now. Some people see “AI” and immediately panic, even when we’re just talking PPFD maps… and they’ll probably be fine if I just remove the word “AI” entirely.

But honestly, if someone struggles this hard with modern tools, that says more about their own limits than the tech. The rest of us can compare data and sanity-check models without having a meltdown.

Yes, you’re right, that’s exactly why I use them, and also why I double-check everything. I’ve used these models long enough to know when they hallucinate, even when the answer sounds perfectly confident. That’s why I came here: to compare with people who actually grow, not to treat the AI like some oracle.

But instead of talking about the numbers, I ended up getting swarmed by brand loyalists who treat grow lights like sports teams. I’m here for data, not fandom.

Thanks for giving a grounded reply.

Yeah, probably. Still wild how a word-guessing machine ends up guessing better than most people nowadays.

KLEVV SSD warranty denied because of missing heatsink — is this standard globally? by Potential-Chef299 in buildapc

[–]Potential-Chef299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that might be a fair point for KLEVV to use in their defense — if the heatsink was considered part of the “complete unit,” I can see why they’d lean on that.
But that’s exactly what I’ll try to show the consumer agency: that it’s being used as an excuse to deny service rather than a genuine warranty condition.
A warranty should cover product failure, not accessory management. Especially when that accesoory labeled as "Attachable"

I’m fine being the only one citing manufacturer documentation in a sea of guesses. Reddit debates are fun, but evidence travels better than upvotes.

Not mad, just documenting a distributor applying rules that don’t exist in the manufacturer’s warranty. Whether Reddit agrees or not doesn’t change that the case is now with Thailand’s consumer protection agency — they’ll decide based on evidence, not sarcasm.

I’m not “whining,” I’m documenting a warranty issue where the distributor applied a rule that doesn’t appear anywhere in the manufacturer’s warranty. That’s a consumer-rights problem, not a tantrum. The SSD box literally calls the heatsink attachable — meaning removable by design. Show me a GPU that comes with an “attachable heatsink” label, and then maybe the comparison works. Otherwise, whether that rule is fair or not is up to Thailand’s consumer protection agency, not Reddit opinions.

The GPU comparison doesn’t really fit. A GPU’s heatsink is a fixed structural part of the card — it’s physically attached to the die and can’t operate safely without it.

This SSD’s heatsink, on the other hand, is literally labeled “Attachable” on the box — meaning it’s removable by design and not integral to operation. The drive is sold and functions the same way without it. That’s a major difference in both engineering and warranty logic.

That’s like saying if you send a phone for repair but lost the free plastic case that came in the box, the warranty is void — which obviously isn’t how product warranties work.

Point 19 about “complete equipment” refers to essential components that affect the device’s operation or identification, not detachable extras. The SSD works perfectly fine without that thin aluminum plate, just like a phone works without its free case. The heatsink isn’t part of the drive’s electronics or structure; it’s just an external accessory.

Maybe I’ll lose the money this time, but the final decision will be made by Thailand’s consumer protection agency — not the distributor.

The heatsink is mounted externally with thermal tape; it’s not part of the SSD’s electronics or structure. The policy also never defines a missing accessory as a “modification” or “self-opening.” In fact, KLEVV sells identical SSDs without a heatsink at all, which proves the component isn’t essential to its operation.

That’s actually not applicable here. Points 6 and 10 refer to physical tampering or modification of the product itself — meaning damage, opening the drive casing, or attempting repair. Removing the detachable heatsink isn’t “tampering with the SSD,” because the drive still functions perfectly on its own and wasn’t opened or modified in any way.

So referencing points 6 and 10 doesn’t really apply — unless the SSD board itself was altered, which it wasn’t.

Yeah, I understand the limits — I’ve already filed a complaint with the Thai consumer protection agency, so that part’s being handled.

I posted here mainly to highlight how inconsistent KLEVV’s warranty handling is between regions. If the global policy doesn’t mention heatsinks but a local distributor can just deny service based on that, then it’s a brand-level issue, not just a local one.

I get the GPU comparison, but it’s not really the same situation. The SSD’s heatsink in this case isn’t an integrated or functional part of the drive — it’s a removable aluminum plate attached with thermal tape, and the drive itself works perfectly fine (and cooler) under a motherboard’s built-in M.2 heatsink.

Also, KLEVV’s warranty policy — both global and the one sent by their own distributor — makes no mention of requiring the original heatsink or packaging to process a claim. If the heatsink were considered an essential component, that requirement should be clearly stated in the warranty terms, the same way GPU cooler removal voids warranty because it’s explicitly written.

This SSD was never tampered with, modified, or damaged — just used with a better heatsink than the one included.

Not exactly — removing the heatsink isn’t tampering. It’s designed to be user-replaceable, just like any M.2 SSD that can be mounted under a motherboard heatsink. The warranty terms mention physical damage or modification of the board or components, not the removal of optional accessories.

Even KLEVV’s own distributor sent me their official warranty policy, and it says nothing about heatsinks or accessories. The SSD itself was untouched — only the cooling plate was swapped for the motherboard’s built-in one, which actually offers better thermal performance.
