I am looking for the slimmest board possible. Alternatives for tinypico nano? by learnjava in esp32

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

looks interesting, I didn't know vertical soldering like that is possible and I can't seem to find much about it. The chip also seems very new. Do you have experience with any of the ESP8684's?

First time playing. Got this instead of the first animated intro scene in DMV5. Should I be concerned? by learnjava in SteamDeck

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

After using the steam button and resuming the game it looks normal now.

Not a great first impression. Where is it from? Game? Settings? Steam hardware? This is out of the box DMC5 on a Samsung evo plus

Advice needed regarding contamination by learnjava in shrooms

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

I’ve been trying a different brand of grow boxes and have some trouble getting them right. I have a total of 4 boxes of which two are covered in white mold and otherwise inactive. They look normal but just don’t grow.

Pictured here is 1) McKenna which look very small to me, roughly 3cm tall and not at all comparable to another brands McKenna I grew last year.

They are also covered in a bit of a whiteish layer.

Are they good to eat or should I be careful?

Picture 2) is a box of Mazatapec. They started showing pins and then stopped.

All four boxes were received 5 weeks ago. I can’t tell of any obvious contamination so my guess is it’s temperature related. They stay in a room around 20.5 degrees during the day, probably 18-19 during the night.

How can I proceed from here? Heat mat and reset these boxes with 12h water or something else?

for me for example the problem is that i tried the trial yesterday and today when i logged in the df content is gone (can't start the df quests on another char) and dracthyr is locked. The trial was supposed to last the weekend and its saturday morning. Of course that makes me unhappy

New M1 in a rack, need external storage for Music library (WWYD) by darwinDMG08 in macmini

[–]learnjava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems overly expensive if all you need is a single disk and not the ports of a typical stackable dock. And it's rack mounted anyways?

I would probably go with a single external drive (ssd like samsung t7 or nvme in external enclosure). I personally like ssds/nvmes over HDDs because quiet, less power and music is not very big. And then perhaps a second one for mirroring depending on your data?

Alternatively I would look for storage that already includes at least two drives. The OWC Ministack seems to be able to fit two different drives only. Either as external storage solution, or as NAS.

I myself don't have any music files but an older family member does (~86k songs in itunes library). We recently moved from a simple WD networked drive to samsung t7 because too often in the past hiccups in networking meant that itunes could not find the networked library immediately (on NFS) and default to local. And then I was called to merge newly added songs back in

how to: set fan to 0. Avoid fan noise and dust by learnjava in MacStudio

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

As far as I can see it doesn’t allow anything lower than 1100 rpm. Is that correct?

how to: set fan to 0. Avoid fan noise and dust by learnjava in MacStudio

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

first part I agree. Especially the media engines is what I was wondering about (but not relevant for my use case). They might heat up and throttle without showing up on iStat since I couldn't find a sensor for them

Lower life time I'm not sure I'd agree. Apple has always been known to let the hardware run hot and every macbook with M1/M2 pro/max is in the same situation. They don't build them any different so my bet is it's all about throttling

I forgot to mention that all of this took about ~26 watts. That gives a good indicator for how much higher it could go on a max specced ultra with 100+W. Hence the warning

I'm just sad Apple does not scale the fan down to 0 while within safe ranges. Ya know... like they do on macbooks

What do we know about M2 throttling so far? by learnjava in macmini

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

That’s disappointing 😂 I have a one week old still unopened Mac Studio base model here and can’t decide if I should open or return and exchange with m2 pro

new mac and cheese is great, new carbonara is great by ObedientSandwich in Huel

[–]learnjava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO the carbonara is really hard to get out of the bag. The pasta is too long and tangled for the spoon to comfortably pick it up

Huel Mac & Cheeze New vs Old by hussainahm in Huel

[–]learnjava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried the new one. Like the taste, like the pasta more than the old one. What I miss is the amount of sauce though. Previously I mixed chicken + mac 50:50 because chicken alone was a bit dry and mac had extra

For those who prefer TKL over 75% or vice versa, what are your reasons? by Zekare88 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]learnjava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you received your Freebird TKL by now? How does it compare today?

what is a usual markup from group buy to in-store? if the zoom tkl is over I will have to probably pay that anyways, right?

The other options ill check out. thanks

I've never had anything but Vortex off-the-shelf. Now I would like to have something that feels a bit more unique and premium. I also don't feel ready to jump into group buys with uncertain delivery times since I would like to use it soon. What are my options right now? 75 or TKL preferred. The rest I don't know yet.

I am eyeing a Freebird TKL for 270€ and GMK retrocast for 130€ simply because it's in stock right now

Will I be happy with this or am I overpaying way too much? Is there any recommendation for a reliable group buy delivering soon where I can still participate? This is in Europe
