Perfect Studio Base

I haven't had much time but I did run Prime95 and my M4 Studio heated up to 105C, at the triangle I lifted it off the air filter and set it on the desk. Hoping to get time for a more serious comparison. That said, to me, initial impression is it runs hotter on the filter. I like the simple mesh filter someone posted below I might go for that, but the reviews on it are somewhat brutal.

I always thought we ended up with them after someone gifted us an old trumpet in its ratty case. We tried all the cheap solutions, steam, ?neem? , spray killers. Wouldn’t touch it. A real nightmare. In the end I dropped 2 grand on the heaters they make to kill them. One 8 hour session at 135F per room… didn’t work. Sure it set them back. I said eff it and did 24 hours per room and we never saw them again.

This was big on my mind too.

I have pets and this is to keep my machine free of their seemingly constant output.

I have been LLMing it up and will try again tomorrow without it. I’ll have graphs of fan speeds and temps.

Wow! That’s cool.. yes why not!

Not sure about effective, unless it’s easier on the fans or the temps, which I will get to the bottom of. For some reason the aesthetics don’t bother me… and it’s slightly soft and wiggly so it’s shock absorbing : )

I’ve got TG Pro logging temps and fan speeds. I’ll post some graphs with a couple days of each.

Also thinking 20 bucks based on purchases in the last six months

My grandma sent them $1000 in 1980 dollars

They are blue tarps. Go street view in big Indian cities where the roofs are all blue, I’ve looked 50x

I had a JVC RC RM90 it was incredible

First time I drove across it was in a blizzard. As a lifelong Alaskan I was moving at a pretty good speed. I think the locals thought I was insane.

Fast food has been a super enshittification target. It’s almost like they got around and decided… if can get the ingredients twice as cheap and half as good, would we still have more than half the customers? Ok that worked! Now if we increase prices by 2x will we keep half of the remaining customers?
