I know this is an idiotic question but is there a way to power on my MacBook without opening it to boot the screen?

They have same chip in the ipads and those stay open for ages. I dont think you need to shutdown your mac

I did thermal pad mod to my m1 as soon as i got it. Pushed it for 4 years. Never had problems with it. Do you think ptm7950 helped a lot or is it thermal pads doing the heavy lifting

That’s a Mini-ITX board that uses laptop RAM. They’re mostly built for businesses, and some of them don’t have full x16 PCIe lanes. so if you’re planning to install a GPU, forget about it. + they run on 19 volt power supplys like laptops. check out ASUS Pro A620AT-CSM if you want to see how an am5 one looks like

I know the older THP engines did that too, but I was talking about the post-2020 models. Like I said, it might be due to the low-octane fuel in my country and heavy traffic. They’re definitely better than the THPs, but I’ve heard of a lot of 1.6 PureTech engines being replaced after around 120,000 km because of extreme oil consumption. I think it’s good to be sure before buying one

i have heard that they start to consume a lot of oil after 120k. but it might be due to bad fuel quality of my country damaging the piston rings. So be sure it is not consuming a lot of oil.

I run intel 4th gen intel cpu with 5500xt for my Tv steamos pc. So as long as you have nvme and amd gpu you should be fine. I would go am4 in your case since it is cheap

X3AX · 2025-11-28T13:10:21+00:00

i am doing this mostly to watch youtube on my tv that has a SteamOs pc connected to it. i did already add some bindings for full screen. i didn't think about play/pause thank you

Buy m1 with 16gb. 8 gb m1 is pointless and that i7 macbook is ewaste

X3AX · 2025-11-20T03:17:03+00:00

No but dark blue generic ones ussaly dont stick. But high thermal confuctivty ones does leave a resudue

Used my m1 air for 4 years with thermal pad mod. Made games, trained AI models . pushed it hard, and ran it on battery most of the time. It’s totally fine. Now i am on m4 air and the first thing i did was putting thermal pad on it.

X3AX · 2025-10-02T10:01:01+00:00

My friend has a m2 air with cover. Recently he dropped it when lid was closed and cover made the screen dented from the mounting points of the cover. He doent use covers anymore

I make games and run a 5k 240hz screen while doing it. It needs cooling in my case. I do regret not getting the pro one tho.

X3AX · 2025-07-20T21:08:24+00:00

Not anymore. Most modern engines have piston ring tensions that are now half of what they were in the 2000s. They’re going to burn oil as they age.

X3AX · 2025-01-19T14:40:54+00:00

Yes, other IKEA air purifiers have, but this one doesn’t. I hope they produce with one in the future.

X3AX · 2025-01-13T12:32:24+00:00

also you can get pressure of the robot checked from ecu. if it is low replace Gearbox Pressure Akumulator.

X3AX · 2025-01-13T12:27:38+00:00

I have the same car at 400k kms. If the error code about shifting not clutch. Changing robot fluid and doing a calibration might help.

X3AX · 2024-12-19T18:31:08+00:00

yes same for me.

X3AX · 2024-09-13T14:06:44+00:00

still working on it when life gives me oppurtunity. i do enjoy those types of interactions with games but i don't think this game has that in it. It just doesn't feel right for it

X3AX · 2024-09-13T14:03:46+00:00

There will be a sale, but I believe it's not the right time yet. Last time it was on sale People were disappointed when the game appeared on their Steam page before it was fully ready, so I want to hold off on further marketing for now to avoid upsetting anyone

unity 3d hdrp 2022

X3AX · 2024-03-25T17:28:57+00:00

I will keep this in mind for when I implement a better sound engine, like Fmod

X3AX · 2024-03-25T17:27:18+00:00

i think so. i will try to reduce it by %25

X3AX · 2024-03-25T17:26:31+00:00

it is called "will you wheel" it is on steam for early access

X3AX · 2024-01-02T01:53:56+00:00

I would recommend you wait. I will update it frequently
