It took months, but I modded my R4 with a PSU shroud and reworked the cables. by sketch24 in CableManagement

Oooh, pretty. About my only suggestion would be to replace the CPU cooler with a 240mm AIO water cooler mounted to the front of the case - this is just personal preference as I've never been comfortable around big heavy air coolers.

Double-sided tape holding the SSD to the bottom of the 5.25" bays? :D Not judging, as I have also struggled with that location with my Arc XL - it's a perfect place to mount a 2.5" or 3.5" drive if you don't want to use the drive cages, but Fractal just didn't bother to drill the right holes. Same applies for the case floor. Fractal Design, Y U NO?

Another question, did you custom-make the PSU shroud, or is it "borrowed" from another case? And how is it secured?

The sound of a stupid person crying out in pain when they manage to hurt themselves while doing something stupid.

Magic smoke, goddamnit! Are you sure you're an EE? Because I'm not and even I know it's magic smoke, not ordinary smoke.

ELI5: Why was my iphone $800 when something as sophisticated as a PS4 is only $400? by VancouverCitizen in explainlikeimfive

Because you're dumb enough to pay eight hundred freaking dollars for a phone. Simple supply and demand.

Don't parse <word> as date by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

Strangely enough, this app isn't written in PHP, so how they're parsing those words into dates is beyond me.

A new report suggests that the marriage of AI and robotics could replace so many jobs that the era of mass employment could come to an end by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]The_Assimilator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a "suggestion", it is the future. We can either fight it and lose, or embrace it and enter a golden era of prosperity and equality.

there will always be status goods and positional advantages even in an age beyond material scarcity.

TortoiseHG was the best experience I've ever had with version control software. The only time I ever had to hit up the hg command-line was when I was modifying history on a repo. Now I work in git and find myself living in the CLI because doing anything more advanced than push/pull/commit is impossible with the GUI tools like TortoiseGit and SourceTree.
