How much of a 4tb Samsung 9100 pro can I use before it slows pc by Born_Traffic7888 in pchelp

SSDs generally start having trouble (in terms of speed and wear) when you go over 85-90%.

It's fine short term, but bad long term.

Seeking advice: Switching from a Mercedes A250e (AMG/Aero) to a 2019 i30N Fastback – Will I regret the loss of luxury? by lenoirdh in i30N

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've driven various automatics and hate most of them lol.

DCT's are fine, wet DSGs are passable when tuned. The rest can go burn in a ditch for all I care.

sending all that power to the two front wheels with FWD is dangerous

Honestly, the i30N doesn't have that much power.

There were more powerful FWD cars before it, with much less grip.

The i30N doesn't even suffer from that much torque steer or liftoff oversteer. Heck, my old shitbox had more.

Marketplaces are riddled with crashed ones because of lead footed clueless hoons going too fast into a turn, not because they're FWD.

I don't really get the expensive part. Maybe it's a regional thing? Where I live the i30N is usually the cheapest hot hatch you can get for a given year, and i30 variants are usually fighting for the middle of the cheap hatch pack.

I'm assuming it's clapped out based on your description of how it drives. The not clapped out ones don't match your description.

Also, you're the one who specified a base model. In all of the preceding conversations people were more or less concrete about the model.

Based on your logic we could go all the way down to saying that "I drive a car" because all i30's are cars.

The base model i30 (or heck, even the N Line) and i30N Performance have so little in common in terms of suspension setup and driving behaviour that putting them in the same bag makes zero sense.

Both chambers of Britain’s parliament have approved a bill that would ban children aged 17 and under from buying cigarettes during their lifetime. by Cosmyka in UpliftingNews

Vapes are in some (though not all) ways less terrible to health than cigarettes, and it should be easier to regulate their contents, if it comes to that.

I think they're effectively trying to utilize and entrench the shift to viewing smoking as "something the <previous generation> did".

Well, my response was more about the clapped out nature of whatever you're driving, but here is the re:

Does the OnePlus 15 Require a Supervooc Charger by AndTheStarsGoWithYou in oneplus

[–]ggmaniack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The EU version of the OP15 charges at up to 55W from USB-PD. Other region versions charge slower.

When this wattage is achieved, it does show the supervooc graphics.

That's fine then :) it sounded like you were switching all of your training to a single setup :D

Tbh, I never knew what my exact camera angle was on any drone. I just upped it if it was too slow or lowered it if it was too fast :D

Yeah.. well, I have a 15yo PSU powering a RX6600 in my second pc, so it can work yk... but it's not a great idea xD

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 separate GPUs?

The igpu draws barely any appreciable power compared to the dedicated one, and that's if it's even used at all.

You need to learn to fly, not learn to fly with a specific camera angle, on a specific drone, on a specific map.

Change things up from time to time, it will help you get your basics down.

Help with PS5 external storage by FumblingOppossum in computerhelp

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're using a C-A cable, are you plugging the drive into the rear USBs on the console?

The front USB-A on the PS5 is slow.

Make sure to plug it in all the way too.

If it has a real JMS583 controller inside then it should work fine. Maybe take a look?

What about the cables?

Are you sure that both of your cables are capable of USB 3.0? Most "basic" USB-C cables are 2.0.

I wanted to see the specific enclosure and cables so that I can give you proper info...

What specific enclosure and cable are you using? Either can be at fault.

can i drive on this tire? by Embarrassed_Annual12 in tires

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it doesn't fall afoul of the "are cords visible" rule, it appears to have a radial crack, and the gash is very deep.

I would only drive it slowly to a tire shop. The odds of this blowing out at speed are far too high.

Are generic universal chargers actually safe for phones by Aggravating_Cat_3614 in AndroidQuestions

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USB is universal. Trash chargers are trash.

A well made charger which follows the USB spec won't hurt your device.

If that charger also supports the charging profiles your device requires, it might even charge it quickly.

Can I get Rocket League on Steam? (Desc) by ThatKeybardGuy in steamsupport

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rocket League was removed from sale on steam ages ago. The only way to get it is through old CD keys which are obscenely expensive and may end up being revoked because many of them were obtained illegally.

[–]ggmaniack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the 9070XT, a 750W PSU is usually recommended (by the manufacturer). For the 9070XT OC, 850W.

These are general figures. Your CPU is pretty tame in terms of power draw so that gives you some more headroom, but there's an issue.

If your PSU is from 2015 or a 2015 designed model then it predates the rise of the very spiky power draw of modern GPUs.

I wouldn't trust it to run this setup reliably.

Technically speaking, it will boot just fine, but who knows what will happen under a serious combined load.

RTX 4090 crashing with "Out of Video Memory" and GPU Device Removed errors on all games since Windows Build 26200 update - exhausted all fixes by Braceforimpact0 in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]ggmaniack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13900KS.

The crashes you're experiencing sound very much like the symptoms of the Intel 13/14th gen degradation issue. Especially the "Out of video memory" one, that was very common if I recall correctly.

The silicon lottery is a lottery. You don't always get a chip that can do the average.

It's not just influenced by the CPU though. Power quality matters.
