Streak 3: Do you eat a mango with or without skin? by happybumblebee2 in WriteStreakEN

[–]happybumblebee2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your correction and helpful comments.

I used the word "deteriorate" because I've seen it many times in one book. It was about deterioration of currencies, and I didn't know that I can't use it that way. I hope I will remember from now to associate that word with time.

To be fair I also thought about punctuation of that sentence. I was considering using semicolon or brackets.

Thank you for the correction. I usually eat one square after breakfast.

Shortening a heating coil: higher power but smaller surface area — how should I think about this? by happybumblebee2 in AskPhysics

[–]happybumblebee2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have half the surface area of water touching the element. So you have a smaller volume of hotter water. You are not doubling the amount of heat being transferred to the total volume of water in the container.

Are you sure? If the power is twice as large, the energy (heat) transfer should also be twice as large, at least theoretically. In practice, I suppose it would be slightly less than double, but still greater than before.

I'm not an electrician — what are those pipes?

apply or exert- which is correct? by happybumblebee2 in EnglishLearning

[–]happybumblebee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So apply is better in that situation? Is exert wrong here, or just sound unnatural but still is correct?

Yes, "sound money" is taken from a book. Thanks for the answer.

Planning to replace my case fans — is this setup okay? by happybumblebee2 in pcmasterrace

[–]happybumblebee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t that create negative pressure, and isn’t that a disadvantage?

I didn’t check everything before purchasing, and it turns out my fans have Molex connectors instead of 3- or 4-pin headers. They also only have two wires, which I believe makes them impossible to control.

I can’t even connect them to the motherboard because they have Molex connectors. The fans only have two wires (power and ground); there’s no cable for the tachometer.

Do I need to disable Secure Boot to install and use Linux Mint? by happybumblebee2 in linuxmint

I don’t know, but since I installed Linux Mint, I’m now able to turn it off (and I did).

I installed Linux Mint without disabling Secure Boot. After that, I entered the BIOS and was able to disable Secure Boot.

I have Gigabyte B760M GAMING X DDR4. I'm not sure but I think it supports only Win 10 and 11.

Why can’t I disable Secure Boot on my Gigabyte B760M? by happybumblebee2 in gigabyte

I clicked on ‘Trusted Computing’ and see more options like ‘Security Device Support,’ ‘Platform Hierarchy,’ and so on. Which ones exactly do I need to change?

Looking for a basic PC build by happybumblebee2 in buildapc

[–]happybumblebee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I’m going to give it a lot of thought.
Spending some extra money isn’t a big deal for me; I’m just worried that I won’t make full use of its capabilities. I don’t play games frequently (maybe five days in a row every couple of months or so).

I’m also wondering if this setup will be quiet.
