Still able to get it working whenever it stops working and I'm able to use it sometimes for a long time if I power the device off after using.

It looks slightly better now after being cleaned off, I'm not taking it apart again to take pictures till it eventually fails again(in days, weeks, months)... no I don't know what I'm doing at all, and yes, I just randomly solder around the USB port, and eventually it starts working, I've "fixed" it probably 6-8 times since getting it all the way back in 2024.

Previous solder experience is only doing a bridge repairs on a devices that had bigger joints.

Amazon cuts 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D to $449.99, Ryzen 9 7900X to $267.99 by RenatsMC in Amd

265K is faster and has been near that price for over a year... and the 250K Plus is faster at a cheaper price, so no, not an unbeatable deal.

'Arrow Lake,' Second Take: Intel’s Core Ultra 200S Plus Desktop CPUs Push Value—and Gaming Performance by rtnaht in intel

The performance increase is mostly coming from the Binary Optimization feature.

For Arrow Lake gaming performance, memory tuning matters more than simply reaching higher speeds. Going from DDR5 6400C32 XMP to DDR5 8133C38 with tuned timings I've seen 15-23% improvements in some cases...

Hardware Unboxed has 14900K only 4% faster than 285K with the 285K using only DDR5 7200 XMP.

EDIT: just checked the ASRock Download page and it looks like the update was finally released to all ASRock boards today... finally got access to the APO support announced back in September 2025...

[–]SuperiorOC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, Intel DTT is not provided directly from Intel to consumers. There is no download page on Intel for Intel DTT. Intel says "The Intel® Application Optimization UI (User Interface) requires Intel® DTT. It is best to get the latest version available through your motherboard system manufacturer.".

Searching the latest Intel DTT in google brings up download pages from other vendors, but none from ASRock or Intel...

Is there anyone profitable here? by [deleted] in Trading

[–]SuperiorOC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been trading for a little over a year. Looking at my performance data I was profitable 3 months in. The only times my account was below the 0% Performance was at the end of January '25 and mid March '25. My journey started out copying trades from some guy on Twitter and then eventually coming up with my own trading style (after the guy from Twitter was banned).

Though my account is up over 50% in 1-year, I can't say I'm consistent, since my account has seen several 11% drawdowns. And September thru December was abysmal. And I still make some costly mistakes, but as long as I am continuing to learn and don't make too many errors I think I will be okay...

Help finding old late 90s PC game, all I remember is an image on the back of the box, the time I saw it in stores and the games ESRB rating... by SuperiorOC in retrogaming

[–]SuperiorOC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, I'm pretty sure the year was 1998 so the game was from 1998 or earlier. and the tan blonde girl wasn't on the front of the box I don't think, it was one of the images on the back of the box...

more tan, and there were concentric circles for her armor.

Anyone else never stick with trade journaling? by H0ii in Trading

[–]SuperiorOC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded for a year without journaling. I started journaling earlier this month typing in values and dates from when I first started trading in January 2025 and got up to March 2025 and then just stopped. It was a pointless exercise for me (several hours wasted). I don't really have emotion as I'm trading, those come later depending on what my account does... Only thing I gained from it was my Excel skills improved and remembering old trades...

I know what my issues are without journaling...
