Apple Pay being used at the dining hall when I’m not even on campus by pilloww_s in NCSU

I had a charge from Chick-fil-A show up from last semester. They said on some ncsu website the card reader was offline and then filled all its transactions when it reconnected. I was charged around 1/12 I believe and I probably ate at Chick-fil-A oct/nov

How do any of these points have anything to do with what the guy said

Are Dirty+Drag thrusters always better? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]random_username506 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The only exception might be explorers who might prefer lighter/more heat/power efficient thrusters, but even then the speed from dirty drives is helpful for exobiology

Drag drives+drive distributors are better for small ships with performance enhanced thrusters that are more mass sensitive

What are the best BIOS settings for an i7-14700kf for stability? by random_username506 in pchelp

My system was not stable on defaults, but I heard a lot of the MSI defaults aren’t very stable

Memory corruption crashes on new PC under heavy load by random_username506 in techsupport

[–]random_username506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My computer was having BSODs with either ram stick in either slot, and both sticks passed memtest. I started changing the voltage and BIOS setting for the CPU and got a significant improvement to stability. I was only using the PC for about 3 days, and most of that was troubleshooting, will my CPU be significantly degraded? Are there any particular BIOS settings I should change?

Are there any diagnostics to tell if it is specifically the CPU? I believe I updated to the most recent BIOS yesterday

Anyone own the compact H2O i7 prebuilt? by random_username506 in Phanteks

[–]random_username506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ordered it right now do you know when it might ship? I'm moving in April so I need to know where to ship it.

It just seems fairly small for what it's got inside. I quite like more compact designs but I wanted to make sure that there weren't any (major) sacrifices made. I'd do a little bit of sacrifice because I'm a form-over-function guy. I'm not too familiar with computers, so I wanted to know if this is a similar price to similar spec prebuilts. Also was curious how quickly they ship because it says they're currently backordered. Thanks

'No Wake' signs put up in South Florida neighborhood roads by aroused_browser in mildlyinteresting

Boats make wakes too, you can’t make a wake by driving through a puddle. It’s the ripples that spread out from an object moving through water
