@wavebronco0003 @Raikaru00 @possiblyazure The Steam Deck's recovery image already works on any Ryzen build, IIRC. I accidentally booted to SteamOS on my 5800X3D+7900XTX, when I had my Deck's SSD in an NVMe<->USB bridge enclosure.

@Raikaru00 @possiblyazure Irrelevant as long as Valve releases a version of SteamOS that can be installed on any PC.

@cqcqcqdx Had same thing happen to an electric dryer. 'Was nominally 'wired incorrectly' but the energized case was from a heating element coming in contact with the chassis.

The food apparently wasn’t the only thing being cooked😵‍💫

@astro_Pettit @Space_Station Light on protein, and incomplete protein at that. Logical progression, is chimerization 🫥

Spudnik-1, an orbiting potato on @Space_Station! I flew potatoes on Expedition 72 for my space garden, an activity I did in my off-duty time. This is an early purple potato, complete with spot of hook Velcro to anchor it in my improvised grow light terrarium. Potatoes are one of the most efficient plants based on edible nutrition to total plant mass (including roots). Recognized by Andy Weir in his book/movie "The Martian," potatoes will have a place in future exploration of space. So I thought it good to get started now!

@OfKimbriki @planefag @WiseguyThreeOne @heatloss1986 Would rather see Dillon Aerospace re-engineer and (re)manufacture the General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger into a lighter-weight and lower-maintenance weapon system (as they did w/ the GE M134 'Minigun')

@planefag @WiseguyThreeOne @heatloss1986 We could have a bigger gun

this is what the house armed services committee actually believes

@Mericamemed You can buy these to install in your bedroom, ya know? They're called a "Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner and Heat Pump" or PTAC

I can hear this meme

@TSBurkhardt @Ken67547214

@Ken67547214 the sales pitches must have been incredible, imagine the victorian era clinical language

being an old timey doctor must have been amazing. absolutely blasted on primo coke for holistic wellness, telling hotties to get in the apparatus

@ewt3we12 @wccftech Not wrong but, mitigatable or salvageable. Re-flash the Asus, etc. mobo to the non-RetailPC DIY board's firmware. Verify the PSU isn't a firecracker. Reseat all connections, check mounting screws. or Just yank the core components for another build.

@wccftech ibuyproblems, do remember that.

User grabs iBuyPower gaming PC with Ryzen 9800X3D–RTX 5070 combo, 32 GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD for just $1,000 🔗 wccf.tech/1k202 The Ryzen 9800X3D-RTX 5070 alone costs over $1000 these days.

@WillieDJenkins1 Because, BeckArnley *was*/is-also rebranding India-China-Malayasia parts, IIRC. On my Hyundai(s) I mostly found Korean or Japanese OEM parts for 'em, and cheap. TBQH, it's one of the few boons in owning a used Hyundai: Internationally-sold models have common/affordable parts.

Why is BeckArnley in the economy part section? They are rebadging Sankie Triple 5 parts made in Japan.... This is the nicest tie rod end for this application I have held in my hand lol

@tomshardware Tesla brand DRAM, NAND, and ASICs, when?!

Tesla hiring semiconductor fabs construction manager — Elon Musk's ambitious Terafab project begins tomshardware.com/tech-industry/…

@megigogi Did you figure it out out after the bolt snapped or after righty-tighty turned righty-loosey? 😅

Me realizing I used a lb-ft torque wrench instead of a lb-in one.

@exQUIZitely Still rocking my Asus Xonar Essence STX on my 9800X3D build. Would've bought this new Creative card if it was shielded like the STXs.

I'm so out of touch, I don't even know if PC gamers these days still bother with sound cards... is that still a thing? What I do remember, though, is that the Roland MT-32 was the most unachievable piece of hardware ever back in the day, at least for me.

@DefenderOfBasic tl;dr - we're all Class-D Personnel in an open air SCP Foundation

i dont know how to explain this but there is a correct protocol for handling infohazards. All the people who were like "infohazards aren't real" don't even have control over their own mind. Don't listen to them. From the README:

@JohnLeePettim13 Used to be in Love with the Hydrogen ICE. Nowdays, I'm thinking that nuclear-powered synthetic liquid fuel production might be more viable. TBQH though, the immense energy surplus needed to make Hydrogen a viable fuel, also would be necessary for a switchover to synthetic fuels.

Hydrogen is the stupidest, most ridiculous, and most impossible energy alternative. It takes 5 to 10 times more energy than it returns. This has been known since 2004, yet hydrogen refuses to die. It is far from renewable because it contains no energy at all—energy must be forced into it like a battery—and you lose even more when converting it back to electricity. It has the worst energy return of any alternative: far more energy goes in than you ever get back. Consider the process: you first split hydrogen from natural gas or use far more energy to electrolyze it from water, then compress or liquefy it, build extremely expensive and short-lived steel containers and pipelines (since hydrogen embrittles them), and finally deliver it to virtually non-existent hydrogen vehicles. Fuel cell technology remains far from commercial. It is also highly explosive. Hydrogen requires 12 times less energy to ignite than gasoline vapor, so the smallest spark or heat source can turn it into a bomb.

@kmcnam1 Twisted Pairs (USB D+/D-) especially, don't like being coiled. -causes inductance issues.

@Marsmite @consolevariant +room for two (and only two) 'human' hands +jstick for each thumb Doesn't seem too bad, next to what we've been pushed, in the past. Clearly, you've never held or even beholden an N64 Controller 😆

@consolevariant I think it's probably the worst controller design ever.

More then 20 years later. this "Boomerang" PlayStation 3 Controller has yet never found again after the E3

@capybaraushanka @Proste_Gabriel @rokxxu @gabefollower Good Lord... everything is backways and sidewards. Old games that implemented 'realistic' magazine mechanics, had two different sets of reload animations, and often provided a gameplay benefit of a shorter animation/reload time for 'topping off'. -or, longer for a full reload.

@Proste_Gabriel @rokxxu @gabefollower Every time you switch guns you lose 1 bullet because you trow it away when you cock the gun

Counter-Strike developers have just released one of the biggest updates to the meta. Now, if you reload your weapon while there is still ammo in the magazine, the ammo disappears instead of being returned to your reserves. They have also increased (and decreased) the number of bullets for some weapons. The CZ-75, for example, now has 36 bullets instead of 24.

@82hoosier @reiamimami Yeah, beef's gone up but- here's a secret: the less lean the ground beef, the more it makes for tastier and far more satisfying meals. That stuff is closer to $4-5/lb. Also, ignore the direction(s) to 'drain' the meat or, only drain-off half (if you cannot stand 'greasy food').

@reiamimami Hamburger is like 8 dollars a pound. This is not food you buy in this economy if you're broke. Chicken or pork is half the price.

Some of u have never been broke/hungry before and it shows— hamburger helper is elite. Food shaming in this economy is crazyyyyyyyyy.

@DreDaKreator @reiamimami Never underestimate the power of "jazzed up" box-made slop.

@reiamimami I have literally served hamburger helper which was then further helped by my $0.88 seasonings and some fresh chopped veggies from WalMart and people were like mmm this is so good! What is this called? Baby…

@reiamimami Even when I was 'eating clean', Hamburger Helper was an occasional dinner staple. Sadly, I've yet to have 'Beef Stroganoff' better than out of that stupid box.
