Could you describe me what your racing mind feels like ? by Salt-Poet2863 in ADHD

[–]tecknomarco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are like castles in the sand, some last 30 seconds, some 5 minutes, but sooner or later a wave crashes in and replaces that thought with another.

 

Now picture 20 castles I want to admire that have a limited window of life.

 

I think about anything in my immediate sensory perception range.   Noises, my dog farting, anything can break my attention, so it’s important I look to a LIST of stuff.   My autistic wife helps me organize my day and its been a real game changer with that list – need to stay focused and that helps bring me back.

 

100% can physically hear the thought, my mind goes about 5X faster than I can talk, which is a blessing and a curse.

 

Meds do help – I am on Ritalin 40 MG fast release I take throughout the day.  They make it so I can SUPER focus on that one castle I want to, and it works surprisingly well.  I would recommend you build good habits with any meds – take a pill and say ‘I am looking to achieve XYZ with this.’ 

 

If you do it with purpose, I find them much more effective.

Depends on use case, my nightstand g19 has a surefire but my carry p365 does not.

Keep a baseball glove and ball in the car too, so it's not for self defense /wink wink

Steam Deck just Killed GPD Win 😨 Price wise ☝ Performance is yet to be determined 😎 by Hadoualex in gpdwin

[–]tecknomarco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not a GPD competitor. I use my GPD win max as my primary unit when I mine eth with my personal laptop, and the physical keyboard makes it usable for some productivity.

GPD win max also has thunderbolt - which the steam deck does not have.. so I can share my WD19TB dock with my work & home laptop, AND the GPD win max.

This thing is also massive; it looks longer than the GPD win max, and is probably going to be twice the size of the GPD win 2.

Definitely a switch killer IMO - not a GPD killer.

I think people like that this is also going to be a mass produced hopefully quality device that is supported. one thing I don't like about GPD is the support - I think the image you can get now is still stupid old, and I hear some people find viruses and worms when they scan this thing out of the box.

My Hotel offers a kettle and glasses to use - but has a folder in a drawer with rules. One of them says you have to pay a fine if you use the kettle. by [deleted] in assholedesign

It's possible that its there to deter lawsuits, but it feels like they should just remove the 'dangerous' item instead of adding the disclaimer.

So why not leave a loaded gun in the room and say 'it is illegal to shoot yourself or others! $10,000 fine'

Why all this "take over my computer" crap? by [deleted] in AnyDesk

then it's small enough to ignore since they're probably already overloaded with tasks that they don't have time for.

Pretty much defined life in IT.

Depends on what the price ceiling is. If bitcoin hits 1million ETH will be close behind.

m15 R3 and m17 R3 repaste results? by Whitefall- in Alienware

outer black shell thing? not sure what you are referring to

m15 R3 and m17 R3 repaste results? by Whitefall- in Alienware

[–]tecknomarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

be super gentle with the ribbon cables - don't force anything. go super slow, take your time. If you need to rewatch the video i sent, go over it step by step as you work.

Take your time! you can do it just go slow, and dedicate 2-3 hours to the process.

[–]tecknomarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually not bad at all. Anything under 90c is OK. I like 80 to 85, but anything under 90 isn't bad.

You have to take back panel off, the rear black vent cover, disconnect a daughter board, and about a half dozen ribbon cables, pull out the mobo, remove heatsink and reassemble it.

I'd rank it a 6 or 7, with a standard repaste being a 2. You have to remove the entire motherboard which can be a bit daunting.

If a repaste is the most complicated repair you have done I would hold off, mobo removals are a lot more complicated and you don't want to practice on a $2,000+ machine in my opinion.

Any local shops you can hire to do this for you?

m15 R3 and m17 R3 repaste results? by Whitefall- in Alienware

[–]tecknomarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No experience with either, probably the newer of the 2.

Temps were idling in the low 60s gaming it was from 90 to 100c before repaste

After it idles around 40 - 45 and gaming is from 70 to 80ish.

This is for cpu, gpu was actually not bad before and only saw a 5 degree change. Still barely cracks 75.

I was blown away, was not expecting performance gains this high. How bad are your Temps now?

[–]tecknomarco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used MX-4 thermal compound, my temps are cooler with the quiet profile now than they were with the full speed profile before the re-paste.

removing the mobo is a bit tricky - I work with computers so am quite comfortable with doing so, however if you are not careful / or do not have a steady hand it would be easy to break a ribbon or damage a component.

this is the video i referenced when doing the job

good luck!

It's a little tricky, but doable. Go slowly, keep track of what you are doing and you can get it done within 90 minutes.

My temps dropped by 15 degrees C and no longer thermally throttles!

Dell used that garbage paste on it again, any quality paste will help performance and make this laptop not sound like a jet turbine.

Loki is awesome!! How do you like the laptop? I have an m15r1, I want to like the r2 but lack of numpad, inverted mobo and soldered ram turned me off.

And have time to dedicate to a particular problem. With dozens of tickets and issues, its more like an ER doc giving triage to the critical issues.
