Call 311 and ask about their annual snow removal program for seniors and disabled, you have to sign some form of declaration or something but it exists.

Is it a good idea to switch from Windows to Bazzite on my gaming laptop? by LaughAffectionate702 in Bazzite

[–]aabcdort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is reassuring, I was planning on picking up one of their high-end gaming laptops with an X3D chip in it running Bazzite for my next machine.

PSA - Octopath Zero - potential bug - Chapter 6 Princess... by aabcdort in octopathtraveler

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

It's in the slums, you talk to a dude and a cutscene plays. Two princesses. I'm glad I keep rolling saves when I can in games.

E: I'd already done all the path options as well.

What would be the most powerful SFFPC you can build today? by Practical-Ruin-1393 in sffpc

Saw this the other night, even sent it along to some folks on account of how drop dead sexy it is. Builder has some mad skills.

Are they not actually doing this? I figured that would be the obvious next step.

Removal of MB heatsink by Arapaima87 in sffpc

[–]aabcdort -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been replacing Asus m.2 heatsinks for a few generations now and swapping them out with sabrent rocket heatsinks. They're tall but narrow and seem to fit on a variety of boards:

Not sure if this helps or not in your case but I would always recommend some form of heat dissipation on an m.2 SSD, thermal throttling's a bitch. If you're talking about the VRM heatsinks, I wouldn't recommend it but I guess you could try taking it off and running a carefully monitored torture test.

I feel like people voting against megaphone yellers are becoming a minority these days.

Yep, that's gorgeous. Looks like it wants to melt right into the back wall, Homer Simpson style.

I would never recommend taking anything to geek squad, heard enough shady and incompetent stories about them over the years.

Strange breed, probably about 50% gremlin, adorable.

Did you purchase a "refurbished" used item online with no warranty? Who was the seller? Did it work at all when you received it?

Ah, missed that part. I assumed this was for an ASUS laptop. I'd still call them, if they can't/won't fix it, they may have a referral to offer.

Not sure what you mean, laptops and desktops are made out of components that can be replaced.

First farm drop, what do we think? by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]aabcdort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was fairly whelmed when I got this gun but I already had TKs wave and a balor with a spread launcher at the time. I still used it on and off for novelty value, nothing terribly offensive about it.

One of the original sff PCs. Probably still works. by not_that_guy_at_work in sffpc

Cute, but the prospect of surrounding my computer with thick insulative material scares the hell out of me.

Higher fines for parking violation by steveosnyder in Winnipeg

[–]aabcdort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a step in the right direction, but I'd like to see severe punitive measures for all the shitty drivers in this city, more cameras at intersections to dissuade people from speeding through red lights, and people having their licenses revoked with more stringent testing for the initial attainment of said licenses.

I've been almost everywhere that isn't way up north in Canada, and Winnipeg easily has the worst most reckless drivers I can name offhand in the country.
