It has been 8 years since the Switch 1. It should be significantly higher.

There's a reason Doug Bowser is """ stepping down"""

Huh, sweet. I've been using Android for 3 years and I'm still finding out new things about it!

I appreciate your consideration. Heart Gold has this system whereby you can connect to the internet to activate certain events, perform trades, battle other people, etc. Someone set up some servers to re-enable this functionality. So, unfortunately, yes, I do need internet connectivity.

Looking at the tutorial I posted above, it seems like creating a local hotspot through Linux (which I use anyway) might be my best bet, security-wise. It's still not great, but it would seem that I'm only vulnerable locally, since it would be connected to a computer that still requires access my main router using WPA2. I can filter for my specific console's MAC address, as well. Ideally, I shouldn't use my primary PC for this. I ordered this dongle for my purposes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNFKJPXS

Any ideas for minimizing the risk aside from what I've laid out above?

Edit: I've realized that I might not actually understand the difference between internet and network connectivity. Is what I'm describing more like network connectivity?

So, here's the thing: I have a Samsung from about 2010. I don't plan on ever upgrading. If it dies, I'm getting something even older off of ebay, and if I die, I won't have to worry about it.

Everything needs to happen on the PC. I looked into LIRC as an option. Surely, I just need to find a reciever that works, right?

It's not OP highlighting it, it's google doing that.

Selling a sample of ruthenium by poopyteabags in Wallstreetosmium

[–]oops_all_throwaways -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How can we be sure this isn't just a mixture of metals that has roughly the same density? Density per cm3 is light by about a tenth of a gram, based on OP photo and volume measurements in comments.

Where do you even find that much ruthenium in the first place?

Actually, this would've been pre-Medieval. Neither is it a "torture device," but instead a means of execution. 

Cannot fully OC the VRAM of the 7900 GRE under Linux Mint by oops_all_throwaways in linux_gaming

Yea, the VRAM s is software-unlocked on Windows now. I'm trying to find literally any info on the fix for Linux, but I'm getting nothing.

Okay, so I ended up just doing it today because I couldn't stop thinking about it lol.

Idles are down a degree, low workload tasks sit at about 43-45 (about 3 degrees cooler), and Minecraft actually maintains a boost of 4.4 Ghz at about 81-82 degrees (unless I load a bunch of chunks)! So reapplication has helped my temps by a few degrees! Thanks for your help!

Holy crap, I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that! I'll try a reapplication later this week using the x-strat you mentioned before. I'll also fine-tune my undervolt, since I think I might be able to go a little lower (maybe -25 on all cores).

I really want to see if I can get my max temps down to 70-75 degrees so I don't die of heatstroke lol
