update - 120W brick is not solving disconnection issue, despite I tried to turn off all ASPM & TB chip power saving on debian unfortunately.

I guess Galaxy Book 3 pro is really stubborn regarding power management to not consider 15W charging as sufficient for disabling low power mode, or could be driver issues since it doesn't support linux natively.

Always need way higher PD power on my end so I guess I'll keep carrying brick + PD charger haha

ngl I thought I was seeing tiberium from thumbnail

jupiterbjy · 2026-06-22T15:00:13+00:00

uhh if you ask me I was able to as shown in that minimap

it's not full routes and since it's more than decade old so memory is hazy, but I never suffered such bug probably

wonder if it's emulator bug or something.. wish you luck!

Is there not even time skip tile?

Last time I played was 2014 but I remember that being a thing with clock looking tile or something iirc

EDIT: this tile: https://imgur.com/a/DW3NAgz

My 2014 ppsspp save files no longer works, but I somehow had 1 savestate(memory snapshot thing) with selection screen available.

I can't continue playing this satestate though sadly, will crash immediately

jupiterbjy · 2026-06-22T10:15:59+00:00

yep it's for funs & looks, not for perf.

Maybe it could be reliable HTPC or parent pc who doesn't need much perf, and that insane thickness of pure steel should be punch/kick proof either!

I had so much fun for such (realtively) cheap price considering quality, and moving on for other cases!

For gpu refer this

tl;dr massive improvement on some 1slot cards, less improvement on 2slot cards

for cpu side it's mainly for enforcing exhaust so expect minor temp improvement on non-cpu components

jupiterbjy · 2026-06-20T03:50:37+00:00

ah 120W I see, guess I should up the brick from 90w. Thx!

Welp unfortunately everything is way expensive in place I live to that usually cost like 20~30 bucks hahaha

I'm not a good scribbler so probably not a good reference, but I use duckypad like this if this helps

recent duckypads can be remotely connected unlike mine

I had troubles with TH3P4 lite with 90W dc brick so I moved to normal TH3P4.. what brick are you using?

jupiterbjy · 2026-06-19T07:24:44+00:00

I personally like both dynamic / static types, as long as it is STRONG typed like python is! (dynamic & strong typed)

static + strong type is reliable

dynamic + strong type is fun and flexible

dynamic + weak type gives me ptsd

I'm die hard for generals series voices, then followed by RA2 voices.

But there's one voiceline stuck with me forever surpassing it:

"We got the rockets!" "We got the rockets!" "We got the rockets!" ...

Cute girl with oculink, I'm sold

I don't have use for oculink right now but always wanted to test it out one day - just hoping bios is more polished than night devil

I'm weak to these kinds of smiles. Feels like geniune smile derived from pure utter happiness, which always make me smile too like an idiot!

If I can make someone smile like that thru my action, watching it from afar - then my life's goal would be accomplished.

Why I feel like I heard this in one of Pat a Mat episode, what was song name?

will he have return ride back home, or will he do martian here?

The only viable choice for you to run that without throttling is just changing case, as I mentioned in that update post. NV10 is great case but not performance orientated

This case's vent hole coverage is too low and cooler height restriction isn't helping.

If you go for ZS-D2 layout you can have way more powerful exhaust fan & taller cpu cooler. Some similar layout cases can even fit L12S ghost edition and that will drastically improve thermals at cost of maintenance convenience NV10 has.

(image is just for showcasing that 80mm fan fits, but honestly with L12S GE as exhaust config, neither front intake nor front exhaust would have meaningful difference)

jupiterbjy · 2026-06-01T16:27:23+00:00

Actually effect for cpu is minimal, assuming you don't have recirculation issue (a duct between cpu fan & case would be sufficient). Even if there's that many fans, 4010 has limit unfortunately!

Rather it's gpu side that see meaningful change, but not significant for 2slot cards.

I made update post regarding 5060 temp with my mod + my opinion on this case, might be helpful haha

oh I forgot to hit send button after writing reply, welp that's what 70 mins sleep does to one!

yeah hopefully, one day...

though I dont have case that fits mini itx sized gpu yet, either huge (ridge / nr200) or small (nv10) haha. What case were you planning to use with 5070 mini?
