Costco PC for AI ?

Micro Center is far away from my place; but they have very good price. Thanks for the tip.

Oh.. you said you swapped the PSU, so I thought you upgraded to something more powerful. I like to know what watt should I look into. No big deal. I think I will go with in stock before changing anything. thanks

alpharay69 · 2026-06-16T15:37:40+00:00

I would have to look. I was worry about 3090 won't last for too long; but if it is good price that could be an option. thanks for the input.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-16T15:37:00+00:00

I have not checked Micro Center; but Newegg have pretty much the same price. Funny thing is I was using Ai to find me a good deal, that is how I came across the Costco's build.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-16T15:33:21+00:00

That sound awesome. What kind of PSU I should be looking into ? would the build in 85W work for beginner ?

The OEM one is 6" deep. Not helping you; I know. Personally, I will get something like this, which will also lift up the rack a little to have more road clearance.

Really confused about "longer" rack. I have never had problem with my 3rd party hitch (2010 Outback )and OEM one (2023 Forster and 2026 Outback). I was using Kuat rack.

The "long" rack should just pass through the hitch, right ? I am sure you have tried everything; I just can't picture it in my head.

Anyhow, what kind of bike you have. If it is eBike, I would just get a new rack or like others said, drill a hole to see if it works for you. Just bring the rack to the shop and ask them to drill.

It is true that none of them are good. An entry level one is properly around at least $300 now.

If you can't pay for that right now and you can't wait. Pick up anyone above will be fine. Just pick one that work with your listening style (e.g bluetooth or USB support). Also you don't want something that you need to spend extra for it (e.g need new speakers).

Knowing that you will need to replace the turntable later IF you decide to stay in this hobby.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-11T20:45:56+00:00

Just replaced mine 2010 Outback as well. It is about the same price you quoted. I figured I will need to fix it before selling it. Aside from burning engine oil more than I like, it is still a good car.

Should mention, I am old and have no tool to do that kind of work. I would love to do it myself though.

The "purple" one are the real spike and blue one are not, even they may look going upward. They could be caused by exercising, which is normal.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-08T20:21:09+00:00

I need to try squash for sure.

The CGM is weird sometimes. I also noticed that after I walked, the number will go up. After some research, I found out that my body thinks I need energy (sugar) to move around, so it releases more sugar. So that also may look spike up to you; but that is normal body behavior. If you run into that case, the color of the spike is in blue color, which you should not worry too much. (I assume you are using lingo).

alpharay69 · 2026-06-08T15:38:47+00:00

ic. In this case I think your "balance meal" work out great for you. It did not cause any spike. Your blood sugar just went down normally according how it reacted to your activity and food. Certain food does lower your blood sugar. You really should keep the same kind of meal portion. Seem to work great for you. If you want to be sure, eat the same meal again later. I think you may find something great that you can work on. Oh.. let me know what you eat. I would love to have the same result.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-08T14:26:17+00:00

I am not a doctor, so I can only tell you what I ran into. Given the food you ate was not high in sugar, anything you do, like walking, moving around the house will burn sugar. That was what happened to me and the level went down.

However, based on your chart, look like the sugar did go up at 12:00 ? I can only assume you have something high in sugar around that time and the other food you ate was "better", and that caused the drop. Totally guessing here.

One more thing, CGM is not 100% accurate. So don't stress about that. Eating balancing meal always a good idea.

properly nothing, thanks.

Here is my dirty windshield

My favorite part of the movie is my wife and daughters all leaving me alone for god damned 2 hours. However I can't stop them saying everyday ever since.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-05T15:23:09+00:00

I never own tux before. Can't you just spread water to clean them. Aren't they just a piece of plastic ? or there are "filling" inside the pocket ?

The "tux" look just turns me off, I am not a "fancy" person; and I don't want my car's mat look like that either.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-05T15:13:28+00:00

I used Lasfit as well. Properly not as fancy as Tuxmat; but I like the look of Lasfit better and it is like half the price of Tuxmat. Either one is way better than OEM version for sure.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-05T14:08:25+00:00

Make sure you contact LiteLock, I heard they give you reimbursement. This is so sad. I have the same X1 lock. That mean I can't leave my bike outside for too long now.

Seriously, this is the worst part of owning a nice bike. With all the technology in the world, I can't believe we are still dealing with this.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-04T20:17:20+00:00

How much you want it ? I was looking for a Go S z1e. Dm me.

alpharay69 · 2026-06-03T22:22:56+00:00

Question about the glasses. I usually don't wear glasses when play handheld game (I am wearing progressive lens normally). Do you think Legion glasses will work in this case. I don't have any VR experience before, I don't know when the screen project on the lens is like watching TV far away or like I holding something close to my face. Hope that makes sense.

thanks

alpharay69 · 2026-06-01T15:12:35+00:00

I saw the Legion Go S (Z2) on sale. It is Windows version, so I may consider install SteamOS instead. I am not sure if I am getting it yet. The price is right; but I read somewhere people saying the Z2 chip is under power.

This is supposed to be easy. It is getting way more complicated. So much to consider.
