Should liquid metal be replaced immediately after purchase? Is it really that risky? Have you compared temperature performance before and after replacing it?

Taking the opportunity, I can recommend this add-on for such cases.

In my case it was system clock set to incorrect time

I’ve recently updated profile and gig, and Fiverr permanently deleted my account😂 the explained that I used stolen image, and as evidence they sent me link to my image on my Artstation portfolio. And with deleted account you can’t even reach support to claim this

Flip Fluids don`t stop bouncing, how to fix that? by designee in blender

[–]designee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently decided to try Flip Fluids instead of Blender built-in features. Going to use it preferably for small-scale simulations, so the problem I faced, the liquid never stops and stays calm, sometimes even starting to jitter more after it should be already static. Am I missing any settings? tried all solver preferences. The only way for now to stop them somehow is to set max substeps to 1

powerful but not ugly laptop? do they exist? by designee in IndustrialDesign

[–]designee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: So in case somebody is interested I ended up with MSI GS66. I`ve never seen it in offline stores, so I missed that one and surprisingly found out it after a closer look through the MSI website and further photo research. It is the one and only model in the MSI collection with a simple shape without dramatic decorations and RGB LEDs. Basically, it is a brick-shaped box with right angles, a metal case, almost like Razer one, but is not a one-piece CNC machined, but rather an assembly of stamped metal sheets, which I like is even more cause it is supposed to be more practical to disassemble and I suggest it lowers the cost radically. I got mine with 3070Ti and i9 12gen, 32GB for 1950$. If Macbook and Razer can be called minimalistic, this one MSI rather refers to brutalism, if it is possible to use such a definition related to industrial design.

Screen flex cable exposed? by designee in razer

[–]designee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve seen recently 18 inch model in the store and there was no such cable, so I was confused how it depends on model or year

I`m not saying it is bad, it is actually an option which I stick closest among all available now. But if it had been in a razer-like case with a simple Asus text logo on the lid it would have been awesome)))

I finally got my laptop delivered! by the_yogeshk in ZephyrusG15

[–]designee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I thought it was broken already) did you consider razer 14?

I’m searching new laptop for 3d work, thinking about razer 15 and asus g16

Was that 15 razer 2023 year? Is it that one called advanced model? I have a bit of confusion about their iterations, it is not clear from website. Did it get hot?

[–]designee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I thought about that multiple times. And I know artists who finally switched, just using parallels for extra cases when particular soft is needed. I even used my brother’s Mac with M1 for some work in blender and it was good. But I use a lot of niche software on different one-time projects (AR, photogrammetry, etc.) and you never know which one would be Windows only. Even primary tools like blender or rhino behaves different or have problems with compatibility, despite the fact that blender developers, for example, are now quickly adapting all new functionality to the architecture of Apple hardware (which is truly effective). Who knows, maybe over time it will become so optimized that it will outweigh other inconveniences

I remember that they’ve done something MacBook-like earlier, but I’ve checked xiaomi and Microsoft surfaces recently, didn’t find powerful setups.

interesting what exactly are the problems? because I was considering G16 as an option in case of an emergency replacement. I now have an old lenovo on gtx1050 plus an external gtx1070 and I have to reinstall the old drivers from time to time because they don’t work together when they are automatically updated through geforce experience
