I’ve built the same thing. Fractal Define case with Be Quiet Dark Rock, Be Quiet PSU and 120mm slow fans and it was inaudible under full load of a Ryzen 3700X. Without water cooling.

Where does your 20c/kWh come from? In summer what to you do with that excess heat? Far more nuanced than trite calculations chosen to back up your conclusion. Also you’re rebasing the argument on a new $4000 spend when you can spend $4

I’ve built several air cooled and water cooled PCs. The benefits are over spoken by a mile. You can run CPUs at far higher temperatures with no net noise increase. And it costs a lot less and has less maintenance. The larger Be Quiet cooler

I was running my air cooled parts at 60oC without the complexity. If you use large fans it makes the same noise. And approximately the same energy is burned off. Ultimately I moved to M1 because it did the same workload with less watts. Eit

At some point there’s an energy efficiency trade off which needs to be considered. It’s way more complicated and depends on where you get your energy from and the efficiency of the device. Using something until it dies is not always the bes

I think this entire thread is about doing that. My MacBook I’m typing this on is sitting here at 9.2W (battery full, running off mains).

You can use a fan to cool a computer or you can introduce a Rube Goldberg machine to cool a computer with a fan. Bar some extreme cooling requirements liquid cooling is about showing off.

It does however depend on how much coal you shovel into it. The point is you can’t go “the environment” and throw half the concerns out of the window. It’s way more nuanced than that.

Not when you’re paying the electricity bill it’s not. My old workstation cost me a 14” MacBook Pro in power in 5 years. Plus you can get new in box Lenovo mini PCs with 11th gen i5 in for less than the price of a second hand Xeon desktop th

This is the first time I hear of HTMX. Thanks for the heads up on it.

My car just has a BT receiver. My phone is my nav and in car entertainment system thus saving that entire problem of obsolescence.

Now I feel old. I remember reading that in about 1997 on a Pipex dialup.

Aw your car was suspended for abuse? Follow the FAQ link which turns into a recursive hell hole with no one powerful enough to help you when you eventually stumble on a human.

Agreed. I hold oscilloscopes and santoku knives with the same regard :)

I'd hate to own a 10 year old car with Android Automotive in it... It'll be weird when there is a market for dumb cars.

That's the stuff I buy. Always good.

I had that argument with someone once and she cooked me a full roast dinner in a wok to prove me wrong.

Yes. You can get an 8-bit for $0.15 in quantity and they go down to 6-pin SOT-23 or even smaller parts. The PIC10F320 is an interesting one as it can replace a fairly large amount of discrete logic very easily. I think I paid $0.47 in one o

There's also a lot of really really bad "electrical engineers" on YouTube, particularly from India I notice, who build stuff that runs directly off the mains with no isolation. Oh and the anti 5G maniacs ripping people off fo

That's crap. They still sell it.

Those people are a cancer and make up a significant portion of the population. Internet forums are breeding grounds. I've developed some strategies for dealing with them. Before I engage or do something I ask three questions: 1. Is som

The major impact is that it has a significant impact on the depreciation of the device if the second generation is slower than the first generation. We don't have enough data to see if the problem scales to things like latency and frag

It was true when they wrote the rule back in NT 4 days I suspect. It might have been true still in 2005 when they wrote that blog post. Now it’s an embarrassing shit show.

Time will tell what this issue is but the person reporting it is leveraging controversy to get clicks here. I suspect manufacturing issue. The SSD performance problem on the 256Gb models is a massive problem though. Although after all this

Blame YouTube and attention metrics for that. Neon text and stupid human cutouts on video splashes is what happens when you optimise for attention hooks. Eventually what we end up with is YouTube video lists that look like a competition for

Several AirPods and several MX products and several macs in this house. Just works for me.

It comes from sitting in an Atlassian sales pitch meeting where I was thinking of less painful things to do with my time.

Well their old slogan of “because you’ve got issues” is looking ironic now.

No. I’d rather go land skiing on concrete in my birthday suit.

I'm actually from UK and travel a lot in the EU. Having been in a police station in Portugal they'd probably laugh at you for getting your wallet ripped off and run you to the airport. And then there's the smaller towns in Ge
