Thanks y'all so much for supporting me to 500K! Big milestone! <3

@mpr_reviews Had a tplink with stuttering and cut outs. Got a flint 2 and have never had one issue. Great routers.

Anybody else have issues with Asus routers getting slower over time? Mine isnt just specific to wifi clients, but the symptoms are identical. I bought an Asus RT-AX57 router about 2 years ago and I have to reboot it twice a week because it becomes so slow. System diagnostics are okay, not running out of memory, so I'm suspecting a similar buffer overflow issue. It replaced a TP-Link Archer router as it was only 100mbps, which was fine, until I upgraded my fiber link from 100mbps to 320mbps. If you've had this issue, how did you resolve it? Or did you just end up replacing it?

@MauiBoyMacro @mnicoletos @SantiagoAuFund Yup it's just theft, steal the savings of hard working citizens via inflation. Happening everywhere. I bet those elderly Japanese wish they saved their fiat in silver instead.

@mnicoletos @SantiagoAuFund The BOJ may want inflation, but Japanese citizens are already frustrated with it. My wife has a lot of family in Japan and this is a central theme we hear from them.

Japan hasn’t “lost control” of anything. Rising JGB yields + a weaker Yen aren’t a crisis, they’re the strategy. A central bank that: • owns ~50% of its own bond market • pioneered QE, ZIRP, NIRP & YCC • is quietly boosting exporters, pressuring China & still funding U.S. markets …is not being “forced” into anything. The #Yen isn’t crashing because #Japan lost control. It’s weakening because Japan wants it to. My thoughts: open.substack.com/pub/michaelnic…

@MichaelWRivera Yeah I am definitely not sweating put it that way :p

Time to buy a new PC **Looks at DDR5 prices**.... nah i'll just keep the old PC, saul good.

$400 AUD for an RX 6800 Used? Yay or nay? (for the parts hunt)

@randomfrankp congrats! looking healthy! have a Merry Christmas

Been a busy few months and I’m not on here as much lately but wanted to announce we’ve got a baby girl on the way! February 2026 🥰

Budget audio nowadays is so damn good, this douk audio 2 chan speaker amp I got is legit serious biz.

@VideoCardz Has he tried turning it off and on again

🥲

@Daethar @VideoCardz They must have some crazy variance going on with the soldering or something else that I can't think of. Not sure (as a company) how they can make some of the best psus a tech enthusiast has seen, then on the flipside have some inconsistent lemon psus.

@TechYESCity @VideoCardz Hope my, hmm, 14-15 years old? corsair HX750 is still one of the "good guys"😅

Third Sapphire RX 9070 XT NITRO+ with blue-tipped 12V-2×6 adapter shows burn damage videocardz.com/newz/third-sap…

@VideoCardz That's the same thing I have seen locally, whenever it is a melted connector (even 8 pins) it's a corsair PSU involved.

@TechYESCity Corsair 1200W

@xAdamxLix @NikTekOfficial It's almost like clockwork at this stage with these burnt connectors.

@TechYESCity @NikTekOfficial Funny you say that. 2 sapphire 9070xt's have also melted. And they have much lower power, 385w is the highest I've seen.

Quite possibly the worst power connector ever made

@kr00tmantech should be seeing this? not sure for how long though.

@TechYESCity 200 bucks, is wild... 2-3 weeks ago it was 100$ lol and its only going to get worse!

if you need a reasonably priced kit of 32gb (2 x 16) ddr5, probs get this before it gets jacked up in price (the other kit already has), I just got myself a kit :p s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3jQM7ej

youtu.be/32Vt0CyQA38 here is the whole situation regarding the AMD RDNA 1 and 2 maintenance mode debacle and why it's probably AMD Radeons's biggest blunder of 2025 by far.

Hey @AMDGaming please reverse the rDNA 2 legacy mode drivers asap, its way too soon. The Rx 6600 is an absolute banger of a gpu for budget gamers...

@fopminui get well Jared and hopefully you can bulk up

I finally understand why everyone loves Thermalright coolers, absolutely killing it for value (though there was one model that was kind of meh) youtu.be/j6PJcXjG4b4

@MrTobyCook Hey sorry man just had a lot of irl stuff to deal with, will have something coming out today!

@TechYESCity You ok mate? No video for two weeks, unusual for you!
