Tech YES

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

@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!

@Matty_OW Just show a live mouse cam, very simple. Cheaters won't do it.

Hey Battlefield players, did you know? It is definitely possible that a player can grind and improve their aim to a point where it “looks” like cheating, with absolutely 0 outside assistance! Yes, our understanding of aim has indeed evolved over the years to this extent.
