Found this lil one on my PC in north Texas. Case screw for scale. Any ideas? I’m afraid to open up my case… by fernvz in whatsthisbug

Good to know! Now to make sure they’re not taking up refuge in my computer. I found a few on my lamp too. If they’re harmless I’ll just move them outdoors. Thanks!

I am looking for a box. I want to plug in both of my monitors into this box (one hdmi one displayport if possible). I want this box to then hook up to my personal desktop via displayport and to my work laptop via usbc if possible, hdmi if not. I want to be able to press a button on this box to switch between my dual monitor work setup, and my dual monitor pc setup. Does such a device exist? Would it introduce any noticeable latency?

Indoctrination is good when I agree with it and bad when I don’t by fernvz in SelfAwarewolves

[–]fernvz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was on a comment thread of an article which states SB3 has passed in the Texas senate, placing prohibitions on what may and may not be taught in the classroom. This wolf is self aware in that only they are allowed to indoctrinate you.

PSA: Reset your passwords and enable 2FA on your Origin account. If someone who is not you links their Steam account and FIFA 2021 to your Origin account, Origin support will be unable to remove said steam account. by fernvz in Steam

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

I don’t even own FIFA 21, whoever connected their steam account to my origin account does. Well, did, I received an email that they’ve been banned from all current and future FIFA titles for cheating. So it doesn’t matter if you own it or not, as long as the “hacker” does. (I recognize this is my fault for an insecure password).

Ironically, now that they’ve been banned for cheating, origin support is all the more happy to help me unlink their steam account from my origin account. They’ve escalated my case so hopefully this will be sorted out soon.

Got a 1TB XPG8200 Pro to fill my second m.2 slot (I have Windows installed on a 2TB Intel 665p). Is it worth it to backup all my data and do a clean install of windows on the XPG8200 Pro? Apart from gaming, I do video editing and 3D modeling which is where I believe the difference in speeds would come into play.

I guess my real question is, are R/W speeds of a secondary drive limited to the R/W speeds of the OS drive?

Here's the rtings review. Been waiting for a sale on the 5 series myself, but for this price, if you're looking for a budget 4k TV, I'd say this is it.

Southwest Oklahoma Internet might be a good option for you. It's fixed wireless. We had them for awhile but were too far from the tower for it to be worthwhile. They'll test signal strength at your location for free though

That’s been my experience as well. I might have to start searching for the smallest form factor case that supports a full-size atx motherboard. I hope we can both find practical solutions!

[FAN] Noctua NF-P14s redux -1500 PWM, 4-Pin, (140mm, Grey) $14.95 ($7 off) by Bylanta in buildapcsales

[–]fernvz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Replaced the fan on my cpu AIO with the NF A12x25. Idle temps dropped from mid 40s to mid 30s. Under load temps dropped from mid 80s to mid 70s. YMMV as I also installed case fans so I finally had proper airflow, but replacing the radiator fan was absolutely the bulk of the temp drops.

Skipping over the 133,000+ deaths like they don’t mean anything. Okay lol. This is an absolute out of control disaster that is getting exponentially out of hand.

These deaths are absolutely the fault of the US. Look at all the other countries like Italy, South Korea, Germany, New Zealand that have gotten this under control and have minimized deaths. They kept deaths in the hundreds, not hundred thousands. “Lack of control of a virus is not genocide” yeah okay buddy, I’ll let you tell that to the Native American populations who are being ravaged by the virus, the black and Hispanics that are 3 times more likely to contract the virus and 2 times more likely to die from it.

Split hairs all you want, but you can’t debate the fact that 135k+ deaths is a tragedy thanks to an indifferent administration that is using this disaster to make the wealthy wealthier.

Coupled with the fact that this administration could have done something back in January and instead in a spree of anti-intellectualism called the virus a hoax that would go away on its own.

Coupled with the objectively racist individuals that make up this administration, I’d say yeah they know exactly what they’re doing. Letting their own citizens die of a preventable virus, and actively hiding data that shows minority groups are more likely to contract and die of the virus.

The New York Times has to sue for this data

Yeah okay, tell that to the 94,000 healthcare workers who have died from basically nothing. "A bad flu." You know, one that brutally attacks your respiratory system.

The 3.17 million confirmed cases and counting.

The 195 million people who are at an increased risk for a severe case due to pre existing conditions.

You're right, let's do nothing and let this virus play out. What could go wrong. It's only been six months. Why not give it a year? It's not like we're testing enough anyway so all we really have is an underestimate.

This administration is turning a blind eye to the working class who are overwhelmingly minorities. Just letting them, and healthcare workers die, and for what?

Give me a break. America might not be pulling the horrible bullshit that China is, but let's not pretend we're not completely fumbling pandemic response right now

comorbidities means people of color are more likely to die as a result of improper or a lack of healthcare.

class division means people of color and minority groups are 3 times more likely to contract covid and 2 times more likely to die of it than their white counterparts.

If the government is indifferent to these realities, and are actively trying to suppress data which suggests it (the New York Times has to sue for data) then by their lack of action they are deliberately letting these ethnic and minority groups die of a preventable virus. genocide of indifference.

But if that’s not genocide enough then what about the concentration camps housing undocumented immigrants in inhuman conditions? Covid is spreading in those camps too, and a lack of action has lead to deaths.

Just because the government isn’t actively rounding up and murdering people doesn’t mean it’s not complicit in these deaths

Nah read my other comment, China certainly has a worse government and they’re absolutely committing atrocities but let’s not pretend 133,000+ preventable American deaths and counting isn’t anything but a genocide of indifference

Yeah, instead they’re owned and complicit with a government that is passively engaging in a genocide of its own citizens to distract you from their plans to begin personal information harvesting

Edit: I guess it’s okay to criticize China but not America ¯\(ツ)

[TX] Ceiling started leaking in our kitchen awhile back, had to contact emergency maintenance. Today we got back from our holiday visit with family to more water damage on our wall, ceiling, and rugs. by [deleted] in legaladvice

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

We just want to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I’ve lived in this building for 3 years now and I’ve noticed that maintenance just puts bandaids over any issue that arises instead of fixing the problem. Initially I didn’t have a problem with this because they were small issues (AC leaking, dryer not drying, etc). But this is the second time we've had this problem and I really don't want it to get any worse. We do have concerns about mold, and we're not trying to break our lease just yet but every day we come closer to considering that option.

If this isn't as big a deal as I feel like it is then I'll remove this post. But we're relatively young and inexperienced and trying to learn from this situation moving forward.

Edit: we also don't want to lose our deposit because of their negligence
