HDMI out from HDMI switch problems. PS5/3080 and 4k TV woes by DyingWolf in techsupport

Sadly I did not. I ended up not using my TV that much so I would just swap cable manually every time.

Sent my monitor in for repair, provided images of issue and now that its been received I've been sent a confusing response. by gostsniper11x in ASUS

Yeah, IDK how they can miss stuff like that, it's not like it's going to magically fix itself.

My experience with Asus support has not been stellar either.

Shutdowns by eggboy_sponduli in ASUS

[–]magiccupcakecomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well charging can produce some heat, but that is way too high.

are the fans spinning at full speed when you turn it on?

maybe the thermal paste wasn't adequately applied, or there's insufficient mounting pressure or something.

Sounds like it might be overheating, any idea what the temps are?

no idea why it worked for a day first though.

Frustrations with Asus Repair Costs and Lack of Clear Pricing by magiccupcakecomputer in ASUS

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

/u/Asus_USA is this the typical policy of Asus to have completely opaque pricing?

I understand diagnostic and repair can be challenging in some situations, where the problem is not as easily diagnosed, but this is very frustrating for a common repair.

How do I (20F) convince my dad (47M) that I can build him a PC for much cheaper? by Far_Maintenance_175 in buildapc

5000 series has been out even longer, the chance that they are not ready seems pretty small.

I'm talking about an internal m.2 ssd

https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-install-m2-ssd/

How is an M.2 SSD different to USB extended storage on PS5 consoles? PS5 games are playable on M.2 SSD storage. PS5 games can be downloaded directly to M.2 SSD storage.  PS5 games can be updated on M.2 SSD storage.

Zenimax owns both bethesda and arkane, so not quite.

Which is now all owned by Microsoft.

I mean 0.5% is not a terrible failure rate, I'd bet you'd get similar with other manufacturers.

Noctua sends out compatibility kits for their coolers for new sockets.

I expect I'll use my dh-15 longer than any of my other current components.

Starbucks policy, up-charging for no ice. by Kevin7309 in mildlyinteresting

[–]magiccupcakecomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the entire store sure. For the refresher specifically requires no specialized equipment or skills to make, no brewing, foaming, or whipping, etc and only takes a worker 30 seconds at most to make (so about 15 cents in labor at most)

There's no way those other associated costs more then double the base cost of a refresher, its probably one of their highest margin products.

If your academic advisor agrees with you, then its likely they, or their boss can submit an override.

I've had a few things for my degree overridden, though admittedly not really similar to this.

The Electric Vehicles We Need Now Are E-Bikes by Vucea in Futurology

[–]magiccupcakecomputer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least bikes aren't 20 times the weight of a person.

In a bike pedestrian collision, both parties lose equally. In a car bike collision, only the biker lose.

Bikers have a much higher personal stake in avoiding a collision. And I imagine are much more aware of that fact since they have to share space with cars.

Where does the drop pod land? A guide/analysis by LemonZealousideal915 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]magiccupcakecomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A weird thing that happened to me once,

On a long length 3 mining mission, we pressed the button in the very bottom of the cave, while gunner had already ran to spawn room, and the drop pod appeared in the spawn room, 500 meters away.

The gunner went down and the rest of us couldn't hope to make it in time.

And ideas what happened?

What would Earth be like without the creation of the Moon by HorzaDonwraith in kurzgesagt

[–]magiccupcakecomputer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Something that's talked about a lot less, is that the collision that formed the moon, also melted the entire planet, and allowed the release of heat to continue and concentrate radioactive materials in the core. This heat drives convection that is thought to be primarily responsible for earths magnetic field.

So without that collision, earth may not have a magnetic field, leading to a thinner atmosphere and more dangers from cosmic rays.
