Well, I went and ordered a 395 system to replace my MacMini that is short in the RAM department these days. Should be fun. Need to get the Noctua side-panel and duct printed out, supposed improves noise performance a lot: How to make the Framework Desktop run even quieter | Noctua And...

Looking for input/experience. Thinking of replacing my Mac Mini M2Pro, the RAM config in the Mini is falling short ...and thinking of replacing it with the Framework Desktop given I can get a ton more RAM for the same price (even buying Apple Refurb). Aiming at the 395+ config with 64GB, or...

Well I won the lottery....scored a 5080, at proper $999 MSRP at my local WorstBuy. It only took 7 months. Finally can drive my bloody 240Hz 4K OLED monitor properly 😅 For my next trick--consecutive PowerBall jackpots

Dune time folks!

If you're into JRPGs it is probably right up your alley. This is my first real JRPG I've played, basically ever. I never got into the FF games. And unlike a lot of Japanese content that was imported to the US or English markets--this isn't remade to be rated G and re-made to be happily ever...

I have like 20 hours in on it since Friday and only just got to Act 3. I only got wind of it from a review on The Guardian. I couldn't put it down this weekend. Drop dead gorgeous world design, great character dialogue and development, the music score is brilliant. Last time I played a game that...

All panels will burn-in sooner or later, just look at any airport flight-status monitor bank. OLEDs, because of their construction, are a bit more prone to it. HardwareUnboxed did a year-long 8+ hour/day worst-case only-productivity test on one of the new 240Hz 4K QD OLEDs. It honestly turned...

These newer high-density OLEDs are fine for text....just beware using them for focused productivity with static UI--you'll cause image permanence over time.

I didn't bother with the Synapse, yet...My PC and Mac mini are isolated behind a KVM, and the PC is connected via optical cables (to get the heat and noise away, although in this case it is a nice air-gap for electrical isolation too). The keycaps for whatever reason are an adjustment. My...

Before the Big Dumb Trade War tariffs v2 hit...Pawpaw got a new Hall effect Keeb and DAC: NuPhy Air75 HE https://jdslabs.com/product/element-iv/ If you've seen reviews of the Element IV DAC...it is most certainly the knobbiest knob to ever knob LOL.

Browsers can love to go rogue from time to time. Been a while since I knew of a case that bad. I'm currently playing with Orion (built by the same folks who do the Kagi search engine) on iOS and my MacMini

You already melted it, which means there's a short. Don't boot it or you may damage anything that might still work....or worse, burn your house down. Electrical fires are no joke--and you have ground faults in that PSU somewhere already that the thing didn't brick itself to stop.

You're replacing the PSU no matter what. I've not read good things about CoolerMaster's units here and there. Saying much more gets into Speculation Time, and would really need a tear-down and inspection of the PCBs to say anything other than speculation. CPUs and motherboards are generally...

There might be more stock....but expect to pay more for it--the MSRP was for release day only https://videocardz.com/newz/retailer-confirms-radeon-rx-9070-msrp-only-applies-to-first-shipments-price-set-to-increase-later Retailers now canceling cheaper Radeon RX 9070 preorders, “MSRP” stock...

Ironically I got a 240hz oled late last year. Now I just want to play timberborners and balatro on my Mac mini in response to this 😂
