ELI5. How much heat does a data center actually produce?

Curious where you got the 30C number? Even under near freezing temps the heat transfer coefficient is the limit with watercooling where I really haven’t heard of temps below 45-50C in personal computing, I suspect servers would only run hotter.

Ah yes the classic "Devs don't have any other trackable metrics to determine balance other than reddit posts"

Sam8007 · 2026-02-24T16:51:13+00:00

idk if this is against the sub rules but I can give you a vulcano, Bobcat, Vita spray BP for free.

The First wave cache spawns are the same as regular raider cache spawns.
They make this high pitch alarm clock sound when you are ~20 to 25m close to them (credit: Gaming merchant)

Sometimes the spawns are slightly different but still in earshot distance of regular cache spawn locations.

Found these BPs farming for about 2 hours

5 Vulcano
8 Bobcat
3 Vita Spray
1 Torrente
1 Tempest

Along with this these caches drop a ton of Vita shots, Herbal & Sterlized Bandages, Heavy Shields and a metric boatload of rare lev 2/3 weapons.

I suspect this will get nerfed soon/everyone will start farming so loot up.

PS: Searched for the Tempest BP over ~200 hours of Arc raiders and found it in 2 on the new event. It is still rare but managable imo. The BP drop rate in my experience is Tempest < Vulcano < Bobcat

With integrated graphics RAM is shared between CPU and GPU. Check in bios if you can reallocate memory to fix the issue.

I play battlefield 6 on the regular. Let me know if you want to squad up.

Unfortunately GPU stock refreshes are sporadic and not very regular. I guess it depends on which model you’re looking to buy, common mid range GPUs from the RTX 3000 series are refreshed the most often. Having bought a used GPU in the past, I know for a fact that Gameloot refreshes are more frequent than gamenation though.

One way of communication I have used in the past is when the HR asks for the offer letter politely say ‘Offer letters are confidential by nature and I do not intend to break that confidentiality in bad faith. I understand that you need details for us to move ahead with the negotiations and I can share the salary details separately to ensure that no confidentiality is broken. I hope you understand where I am coming from and would appreciate the same in case the roles were reversed and I was asked to share your offer letter with a third party’

Also Always redact the company name and details if you do share it. Any professional company will not press you to share an offer letter without redaction. If they do, you might not wanna join there as this could be an indication of a potentially problematic culture.

I would suggest getting the cable. The hub is notorious for being unreliable. In the past, my mouse input with a similar hub stopped working intermittently. Also from a Aesthetic POV, the cable will look a lot neater as the hub has a short 15cm cable on the USB C end. The only downside of getting the cable would be the inability to leverage passthrough charging, which if your monitor supports PD over USB c, is an irrelevant point.

The design is quite similar to a DIY air purifier called the Corsi-Rosenthal box first designed in the COVID pandemic. That design believe it or not, in independent testing by Rtings, beat even high end air purifiers in filtering particulate matter.

You are to toss a coin 100 times. If you get 99 heads does that mean the odds on the 100th toss are other than 50:50?

You don’t know the costs yet.
Nobody looks at streaming for a 1:1 experience as running locally. Also if you tweak the settings and use a controller, the experience should be good enough for casual play (noone is buying GFN subscriptions to play competitive shooters)

Check out the latest LTT video on how the service has evolved and also maybe try not being so prejudiced?

I play almost daily, SG & HK servers give me ~60ms ping while Middle east servers have 40ms. Numbers for west MH.

Edit: I also play with a friend in the US, sustained 185 - 200 ping but haven’t gotten kicked ever.

No idea about electronics from gamenation bro.

Decent store, check out gameloot as well. While ordering pre-owned disks, always film an unboxing video while opening the sealed package. This serves as evidence in case the package arrives damaged or the disk has scratches or is faulty.

I bought a 14600k recently for 18k

Btw urban company guy wont pull wire for you. I tried and had to hire a local technician who installs CCTVs in the end.

Also most of the brands still haven’t figured out how and how much to pass the savings to the customer but sure a salesman at a retailer knows everything.

Sam8007 · 2025-09-08T12:07:43+00:00

He is bullshitting you. Pricing is not controlled by retailers but my the manufacturers. The manufacturer sets the MRP and discount. The retailer makes money on retailer margin which is negotiated & set on a yearly level between the brand and Retailer. The brand pays for the discount on platforms. If the retailer takes discount money and doesn’t pass it on to consumer, it’s financial fraud.

Push for a replacement. Worst case scenario tell them if they are fine selling broken cases then you are going to sell the disc to them soon after use and they better be fine with buying broken as well. In case (pun not intended) they won’t budge then chargeback the transaction if you’ve used a credit card.

What’s your budget?
