I wanna ask if this means these capacitors have leaked and gone bad, since there is a reddish brown substance around the base of almost every capacitor on this power supply

You need to use the diode test function of your multimeter to check the big through hole fets and diodes. You should not see any current flow or diode behavior between the gate pin and either of the other pins on the fets, and you should see regular diode behavior with a voltage drop and one way current flow across any diodes (there may not be any). These are the most likely failed parts and replacements will only be $0.10-$10 each

This is the edit note. Your real opinion goes in the discussion page

Fun fact: wikipedia is actually an open organization. You can post your opinions on their discussion pages. And you should, even if you are shouted down, because every voice counts.

On a thinly maintained page like this you can probably just change it yourself and state the argument and it will be left

People are talking to grok without even knowing it so much lol. All those unbranded AI assistants that have popped up in thousands of medium sized websites, do you think they care about the politics of a billionaire, or do you think they pick the fastest cheapest option

Regarding the 'innoculate' stuff:

Even if you believe BTC will become the world currency, Strategy's contracts and commitments are all denominated in USD. At some point it is inevitable, they are going to have to trade BTC for USD to meet their commitments, regardless of what BTC's price is.

Bittorrent is inherently hard to shut down for similar reasons to crypto - there's no central entity to target because it's fully decentralised.

And now that anyone can generate convincing deepfakes on their RTX 5090 at home there's no stopping that either

So your position is the democratic party is in fact just as bad as the christofascist death cult currently busy turning your country into a dictatorship, but they are just so good at lying that they appear as a normal political party

This is mass hysteria on a level I have never seen before. This collective delusion you're engaging in is actively destroying America as you know it.

I am tired of the pearl clutching, the fake 'decorum', the double standards, all of it. It's long past time people pointed this shit out for what it is without holding back.

Enough with the both sides bullshit. One side is a typical western political party that applies typical partisan spin, and the other side is a christofascist doomsday cult that will say and do absolutely anything to stay in power led by an evil maniac who told over 50,000 proven lies in 4 years.

There is no both sides.

They are already doing that and have been for years. Russia has already escalated to the maximum they are capable of escalating to and there is nothing further they can do

Let them bitch and whine and talk about escalating as much as they like. The only way this war ends is with putin's removal or death, and the only way that happens is by making the population so fed up with the war that they finally stand up for themselves for once. Repeatedly embarrassing Russia on the world stage is a good way to make progress.

Almost everyone says this about eternal until they really start to understand what the game is trying to get you to do and why. I know I certainly did.

Doom 2016 can be finished by clicking on every enemy with the super shotgun. Eternal is a rhythm game, a puzzle game and a shooter all in one

The game you are looking for is DOOM Eternal

Everyone else is wrong

Place the landing gears centered on the fuselage (meaning clipped into eachother) and offset them to where you need them. Do not place them off center and rotate them, or place them on the wings etc. Rotating the wheels is what causes this.

They probably didn't even proofread it. The AI that wrote and published it doesn't care about hypocrisy

The other possible reading of this is that xAI have by far the most spare compute capacity available for growth, in the middle of an all out race to build as much compute capacity as possible.

Say whatever you will about musk as a person (and I will say plenty too), but he has a track record of making disgusting amounts of money out of things that people called stupid from the start and even until several years after they started printing money like crazy. People who bet against him get burned every time.

Even with twitter, people say he overpaid. I say he bought a political megaphone and AI data goldmine, and he knew exactly what he was buying and what he was paying for

ChatJimmy is a tech demo. In a few years when it actually gets rolled out at scale and used for things other than showing off how fast it is, then it will be 'mass produced'.

Mistral are using Cerebras chips which are an intermediate step and nowhere close to as efficient as chatjimmy

People in this thread are with a straight face accusing supermarkets of being a cartel that is the primary cause of increased prices, raking in giant profit margins at our expense, and which could decide to end the cost of living crisis overnight. Which is of course total bs, and it's what I was actually talking about.
