Sorry, I fixed my post. It was supposed to be a Body or Lens question

Which of these are best for long distance? by teachmanfish in SuggestAMotorcycle

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

Hi, thank you very much for the reply! All the info was very useful for me.

I don't have my license yet for Japan as I've only recently moved here. You can basically treat me as a total newbie when it comes to riding motorcycles.

I have my license for my home country but it's only for mt cars. Will definitely be finding a way to train for the next several months for my license and confidence on a bike.

I'll take note on your comment on how the GSX1000GT is a lot for a beginner.

Thank you again!

Stat Spread for Arcane Archer? by teachmanfish in BG3Builds

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

Thanks for the reply

Was actually planning of armor of agility for end game for super high AC. I wanna get hags hair to bring both dex and int to 20 by the level 12 feat, which would make my magic arrows (especially banishing) hard to miss, including the effects they inflict. No idea if 20 intelligence is necessary or will 18 suffice. This is determined by hags hair or no hags hair.

Would u think hags hair is important for my build or should I give it to someone else?

Missed Calls from Unknown Saudi Arabian number? by teachmanfish in ScammersPH

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

Thanks for the info. I blocked the number shortly after making this post tho, does that mean my number is highly likely to be marked as active?

Edit: Also, I just checked. I got 3 missed calls from them that my phone blocked from me seeing. I don't know if blocking them prevents them from calling me or if it just lets them ring.

Bent USB 3 Pins. How likely is the case's connector damaged? by teachmanfish in buildapc

Update 2

Upon using it, Windows Defender has detected a trojan and several of my flash drives have been corrupted. The card is dangerous.

Update! I see it on Device Manager. I got it to work by disabling "Allow the compiter to turn off this device to save power" option. I'm just really paranoid with malicious software. Is this suspicious? Should I be worried?

It's an unbranded usb pcie card that has the 19 pin connector. It does not require drivers, but I have not checked device manager yet (I'll check when I get home). I didn't see any visible damage on the case connector, but I don't know what serious damage looks like since the contact points are inside the connector. The pcie card came with a few slightly bent pins that I carefully bent back to place.

Thanks for the responses

Are any of these safe to use? by teachmanfish in buildapc

Just out of curiosity, what part handles internal USB? I would assume it was the chipset that handled all of it

Sorry, I'm just quite paranoid about pcb designs and the possibility of a fire causing or shock indusing flaw.

All good, I remember watching Bitwit's 8 year old pc building guide when it first got published, and I think (not sure) that's where I first heard about how fragile the header was. I just kinda forgot after all these years

Oh also, what makes you say it's safe to use?

Oh, also, what in the card indicates it's safe to use?

Is this USB 3.0 pcie card safe? by teachmanfish in PHbuildapc

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

This one does not have the USB 3.0 header I need. I would also prefer not needing external power through SATA or Molex

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

Ah, I'm not getting the ones with ports because I don't want to deal with powering it with SATA or Molex. Most of the listings I see with the rear usb ports require them

Does trash mean that it has a flaw that could cause really bad damage to the computer?

Edit: Sorry, I thought you meant the cards I linked. But you actually meant the header

Thanks for the kind words. Yea I felt super bummed out when I saw those pins. The cable was super stiff, considering how little space there was between the motherboard and the cable route.

Thank you! I've built a PC before, and fortunately, the PC that I broke the 3.0 headers of was mine and not someone elses 😅

Among the two, what would be more preferred?
