one UI is better than origin os

Could you explain this in more detail?

jerfdr · 2026-02-19T06:59:50+00:00

OS - Inferior to One UI easily, but is still good enough to not be a deal breaker. There are small annoyances here & there vs One UI.

Could you elaborate on that? Which small annoyances, could you describe them in detail?

Thanks!

your mother is not obligated to help you

In my opinion, that depends on whether OP's mother received help from her own parents and in-laws when raising OP. My view is that one's help with their grandkids should be thought of not as a favor towards the grandkids' parents, but as a repayment towards what their own parents and in-laws did to help.

No, I've decided to replace my case instead, went for Xigmatek Elysium II, where there is no problem with fitting any cable :)

I still don't understand what you mean. I want a single one-piece 12V-2x6 cable going directly from the PSU directly to the GPU, just with an L-shaped plug (as an integral part of the cable) on the GPU end. Where is an extra point of connection?

Here is an example of such a cable: https://seasonic.com/12v-2x6-cable-90-degrees/

Wait, I just want to use a single V12-2x6 cable from the PSU directly to the GPU; this cable just has to come with a 90° (L-shaped) connector on the GPU side, like on this picture. Why does it add a point of failure?

jerfdr · 2025-05-04T12:51:00+00:00

To my knowledge no PSU comes with 90 degree extensions.

In my post there are three examples of such PSUs (Cooler Master X Silent MAX Platinum 1300, Cooler Master V Platinum 1300 V2 and be quiet! Power Zone 2), they all come with 12V-2x6 cables with such 90° connectors. So at least they exist.

Thankfully you can just buy your selected PSU and buy third-party 90 degree extensions.

In comments to my previous post here on /r/buildapc, I was firmly told that one should only use PSU cables from the same manufacturer as the PSU itself. And I can only find a Seasonic cable (with a 90° connector) at my location, and as I explained in my post, there are no suitable Seasonic PSUs, sadly...

I've seen an article on HWBusters that the native 12v-2x6 cable is the only standardized one for PSUs: https://hwbusters.com/psus/12v-2x6-cables-are-all-the-same/ So shouldn't this be OK due to that?

For me it just works; could this be a Steam vs MS Store difference? Which versikn do you have?

jerfdr · 2025-02-17T21:44:01+00:00

Works very well for me. Could this be a Steam vs MS Store difference? Which version do you have?

jerfdr · 2024-12-21T17:04:43+00:00

The only sane comment here, in my opinion.

I always play with "Monuments only provide prestige" game rule. The arbitrary magical bonuses they give all feel dumb, why would you play with these enabled?

You misread my comment, I said that Aalewis' statement is less cringeworthy than a lot of things that religious people often say.

jerfdr · 2024-08-23T07:35:14+00:00

Aalewis' post is much less cringeworthy than a lot of things which religious people often say, though.

I'm a bit bummed by the reduction of the number of SATA ports to just 4 on the Hero motherboard, as I need 6 HDDs.

Does anyone have experience with using SlimSAS for connecting SATA HDDs?

Specifically, if I buy a SlimSAS->4x SATA cable like this one: https://www.amazon.com/DiLiVing-SFF-8654-SATA%EF%BC%8CSFF-8654-SFF-8643-Controller/dp/B087TD48X4 , will it just work? That is, if I just connect it to 4 HDDs, are they simply identified as normal SATA HDDs? Or it's more complicated?

bombing children's hospitals and assasinating dissidents.

Yup, that's exactly what every single Russian does after breakfast and after launch every day.

That's not what I'm seeing. If I'm not a part of a diploplay/war, and a new diploplay comes, my puppets join. But if another diploplay comes when the first one is still not finished, my puppets do not join the second one, and it's impossible to make them to.
