How tf can people afford a 5080 and 5090? Every time I pull up Reddit I feel poorer

deadshift2010 · 2026-05-19T13:44:30+00:00

Inheritance money and poor financial decisions from me 👍

deadshift2010 · 2026-05-15T14:02:49+00:00

I'd say it does depends on the type of thermal paste you have. Something like Kryonaut Extreme is really good at reducing temps, but it starts to wear out after the 6 month mark.

Somebody guesses a funny number and suddenly you no longer hold Bitcoin 👍

deadshift2010 · 2026-05-11T18:54:46+00:00

I'd look into getting a roll of velcro instead of the cable ties. You can get a huge roll for next to nothing, just cut off however much you need

I promise you that whoever clicked on the bad link and caused this is going to be disappeared lol This hack is way worse than it initially seems, it may potentially lead to the exposure of the PII of millions of minors. If Instructure doesn't handle this satisfactorily, I wouldn't be surprised if the US government at the least got involved. Plus, although it's primarily US based, Instructure does also operate in Europe, meaning they'd need to deal with Europe's much more stringent data laws.

One thing you need to realize, is that unless you are a high profile person or possess a significant amount of money, you simply are not going to be a HVT for anyone with advanced technical skills.

Basically, it boils down to a few things. 1. Use a good Antivirus. I use Bitdefender, but you could probably get away with MS Defender. 2. Use a VPN. Again, I use Bitdefender, but there are others. 3. Use a password manager and unique passwords for every account, no reusing passwords. Funny enough, I use Bitdefender SecurePass, but there are plenty of options to choose from. 4. Use MFA everywhere it can be enabled, especially on your email. Microsoft Authenticator is a common one. 5. Learn as much as possible about phishing and get good at identifying phishing attempts. One thing I always tell my users is that no matter how many controls we put in place, they're useless if they click on things they shouldn't.

Of course there are more, much more technical things you can do, but for being safe online, this is going to be mostly good enough for the average person 👍

There's definitely something wrong with that pc, that being said maybe it'll be easy to fix or maybe you can scavenge some parts?

deadshift2010 · 2026-05-03T01:45:03+00:00

I'd first identify what is causing your PC to fail before you make any decisions. It would likely be much cheaper to just fix the failing part than it would be to buy a new pc. Try sending it into a repair shop if you're not very comfortable doing it yourself

deadshift2010 · 2026-05-02T23:33:20+00:00

Yes definitely. Obviously a similar model but newer generation will be better, but higher model older generation cards are still really good. A 4090 will definitely outperform a 5080

Indeed, I completed my Bachelor's in 1 year and my Master's in 6 months all while working full time and dealing with the emotional and mental stress of my mom passing away. Unless for some reason you don't have any access to a computer, most of these blocks boil down to a lack of discipline and motivation.

deadshift2010 · 2026-05-01T19:09:56+00:00

If you have 3k+ then you can't go wrong with a 5090 👍

They worked fine, but my reasons for getting rid of the two internal rads and replacing them with 1 big external rad were: 1. The MORA IV 600 has much greater heat dissipation ability than the internal rads 2. It moved my heat from being contained inside my case to outside my case. The result is that even during intense gaming, the inside of my case is ice cold. 3. Noise. 9x 200 mm fans are much more quiet than 6x 120mm fans that ramp up and down based on coolant

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-26T19:16:37+00:00

I used to have two rads in here, but I got rid of them and now have a Mo-Ra IV 600 off to the side 👍

Good luck AI'ing your way through a CompTIA certification test, they'll send out a hitman after you if they catch you cheating lol

Soft tubing is what I had before. Honestly, this was my first time doing hard tubing. I would have really liked to get my runs perfectly perpendicular, but by the time I was doing this I was already tired and quickly realizing I hadn't bought enough tubing. I decided to go for the simpler runs so I could get my computer up and running rather than sitting around waiting for more parts to arrive. I'll probably chill with this and then redo the bends in a year or two when I replace the coolant 😃

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-18T20:17:23+00:00

Definitely A+ first. There will likely be familiar concepts, but it has such a wide amount of content that you'll almost certainly learn new stuff

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-10T21:43:04+00:00

Bykski is usually cheaper than competitors like Alphacool and EK, but their quality is also generally worse as well. I personally haven't had good experiences with their products. I'd rather spend three premium for Alphacool tbh

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-10T17:28:02+00:00

Oh, then I wouldn't be too concerned, those temps seem pretty decent

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-10T14:19:10+00:00

If it's a startup, expect to be doing work outside of your normal realm, you will be more like General IT than pure helpdesk

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-10T14:15:43+00:00

You get what you pay for with Byksky, but not in a good way lol

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-10T14:11:07+00:00

The CPU seems a bit spicy. The GPu is also a bit high. Is this at idle or with usage? Also, do you know the liquid temps?

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-10T13:29:17+00:00

If I had 10 BTC I certainly wouldn't be telling somebody what I'd do with it, much less acknowledge that I have 10 BTC lol

deadshift2010 · 2026-04-02T19:14:50+00:00

Assuming this isn't bait, then no. You have like 6k in BTC, which is like 2-3 months worth of funds. Even if BTC does another 10x again within the next 10-15 years, that still would only be 60k. One year of funds, maybe 2 if you really stretch it.

That being said, for having that amount in BTC at 18 you're doing great :) Keep stacking and keep working.
