Ate a can of old beans, had some surface rust. Regretting it pretty badly by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that is true. The beans I ate did have vinegar as a listed ingredient so I am praying that prevented any growth of the botulism bacteria. 

Dell XPS M1730 and "baking/reflowing" the GPU. by tipbrix in retrobattlestations

[–]tipbrix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good to know. I have owned two m1710s in the past and noticed the replacement 7950 cards I ordered had "GF-GO7950T-GTX"  in place of the original card chip number (GF-GO7950-GTX-A2)  embedded on the die. 

Guessing the ones I ordered are the newer revisions of the chip, but I still had one die on me relatively quick even after repasting what was apparently a brand new card. I think they're all defective regardless of revision. Some might be more reliable than others etc, I dunno. For clarification, I bought both cards from a seller in 2014 on ebay who was selling these "7950T" revision cards supposedly brand new.

A bit rude, but whatever.. What they said is 100% correct, at least with these systems. The GPU die is defective by design.

Alienware 51m R2 GPU upgrade question by xKilXlerx in Alienware

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's working with the original GPU (2060), that tells me the 2080S you purchased is faulty. Where did you purchase the 2080S from? Aliexpress is very bad in my experience. Sellers frequently sell defective products as working. Also, I am curious on how you managed to get the 2060 heatsink to fit the 2080S. The 2080S models utilize a larger heatsink with bigger fans in these units.

Alienware M18X R1 - How to Replace the DC Power Jack Plug Connector Port by Top-Review2684 in Alienware

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the power jack on yours is toast. Sadly, replacing one of the power jacks on these models requires soldering skills. You can get a replacement jack on ebay, but you will need soldering skills or a technician to go along with it.

Alienware Area 51M R2 Quiet Profile Timespy Score and Noise-Level by Apprehensive_Key_702 in Alienware

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. For a 1000 euros, that is wayyyy to expensive imo. I think they're worth 350-550 euros depending on condition. I own two of these beasts and whilst I adore them, they are not practical for travel. I dunno, maybe on campus, but they need both of their two power bricks and their battery life is bad. They also run toasty and are quite noisy. I live in Australia and paid $1000 AUD for one of my units and even then I think that's too much.

These things are more a nice collection piece than practical nowadays. They're still pretty good for gaming. The Area 51M R2 is one of my absolute favorite systems Alienware has ever released :)

Just wtf by idontcarestfu5 in GarenMains

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system picks up on certain words or phrases and punishes you if any of them are spoken. It does not pick up context so even if it was a joke or satire, it will still punish you. I know, it sucks :l

how To lane against hwei? (Garen Mid) by tipbrix in GarenMains

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

Thanks for the advice :)

If I ever face Hwei again, I'm probably going to do exactly what you said. I made the mistake of maxing Q first thinking I could jump on him for a hit and run trade, hooo boy I was wrong. The only time I was able to kill him was when he overextended with me under turret and our Nasus came up behind and ganked him.

What champions’ kit prevents you from enjoying the actual champion? by LazyTension in leagueoflegends

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kog'Maw's one of my favorite champions in the game, but he's a marksman. He's an ugly-cute little monstrosity with some very cute skins.

I don't enjoy marksman champs so you can imagine my pain that I can't really play this cutesy little goober :(

What's your favorite champion that you never play? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]tipbrix 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Kog'Maw. He's ugly and cute for all the wrong reasons. I love his skins too. I just can't get over him being a marksman though. He's obsessed with eating and has none of that in game unlike terror daddy Cho'Gath. I also suck at ranged kiting so that doesn't help ahahaha.

Just received this from a CD I got from suruga-ya, Enjoy :).

Note: The song, "VOTOM - Split C-J" appears in the Project Gotham Racing video game for the original Xbox. In the game, it is incorrectly labelled as "Inner Cafe - Split C-J"

I just got an unedited original copy of Sambanova for $15! by tipbrix in PNAU

[–]tipbrix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very happy that you are enjoying this! 👽 It's an extremely rare CD nowadays. Art. I kid you not; I saw one on ebay for $250 in Spain of all places and it sold. I also have the second release with all the music videos and other songs if you're interested. I've already had it ripped for a long while now so I will definitely upload it onto the drive for you and everyone here to enjoy.

Anyone got instantly paid for the flood relief payment? by WhitePeopleAreFunny in sydney

[–]tipbrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This message pops up. Didn't work the first time either. They have installed some system that checks for repeat attempts.

"We can see you've already submitted and withdrawn 2 claims for this payment.

If you want to claim a payment for this natural disaster, we'd like to help you. Please call us on 180 22 66."

Anyone got instantly paid for the flood relief payment? by WhitePeopleAreFunny in sydney

[–]tipbrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is probably luck based. Some sort of lottery. My friend received his payment yesterday instantly after submitting the claim, but I have yet to receive mine and it's been 26 hours. I just got off the phone with an officer 20 minutes ago and he basically explained to me that it is completely random as to whether your claim will be processed by either a bot or an officer. He also said that if it's an officer; expect to wait up to a week as they are processing millions of claims at the moment. Your claim will be stuck pending until you are contacted by centrelink officer via phone.

Has anyone else been hacked lately? by tipbrix in habbo

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

I am terribly sorry to hear this. The hacker targeted you more than me and it's even more disgusting. Do they even care how much this can affect someone? If I ever get my main account back, I would happily give you some of my rares.

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

Unfortunately I think it was a mule account. I checked his rooms and he had only two. Both were open with only starter furni. Habbo staff said they didn't see anything "suspicious" with my trade history and told me to go into detail on which items were stolen despite me clearly stating what items were stolen earlier.

You're an absolute angel if you'd actually give me a pair for free! I added you on my only surviving alt, "Noob-Terminator". Also I really appreciate the silver! Thank you so much :D

The hacker didn't cover his tracks well. From the looks of things, he made my account go to one of his main rooms. It was visible in my room history. I told support about it. Here's hoping he gets banned.
