Adamant IT

My adventure in making a furry VRChat avatar move exactly as I do 👀 youtube.com/watch?v=-8917f…

Revisiting the topic that originally snowballed our YouTube channel, and this time doing it right... youtu.be/wp1dPG9_N1w

Two Guys Talk Tech is back - this week Caradog and Graham take a look at the super lightweight "Ghost Spectre" Windows images to see if they're worth using, or just a gimmick🤔 youtube.com/live/RXWwiecAA…

Shorted cap discovered😌 Incidentally, I record videos as a single 4k tile view of each camera angle, then in post I crop down to 4x 1080p files to edit with. This way I don't have to deal with scene-switching while I'm recording in OBS.

@dladd72 Yea no major complaints, the wireless isn't incredible, you'll know the batt is low because it'll be missing keystrokes long before the low batt light comes on. But it's still fantastic value.

@AdamantIT What do you think of this keyboard after using it this long? Would you recommend someone getting it?

Bought a Royal Kludge RK100 for the work bench. I thought this layout would be the dream, but I'm not sure I'm sold on it. I'm so used to locating cursor keys, enter, and shift by look for the edges around them 🤔

A little 0201 SMD work on the back of a MacBook Air's PCH. Definitely got better tweezers and hot-air technique than when I first tried this scale. Sad I wasn't recording for this one!

When you're after that sweet Twitter Clout... but you stumble your words... youtube.com/clip/UgkxeGX1I…

This is such a pain for customer-facing people like me too. We're trying to encourage people to have a go themselves, google the thing, learn to do it yourself... and then they stumble face first into this kind of nonsense "it was on google... they're legit, right?"

Two Guys Talk Tech starts in 30mins, today we're going to take a look at some of the Enermax LiqTech AIOs infamous for failure to see if we can possibly refurbish them - see you there! youtube.com/watch?v=9bMb5f…

@TanookiMario Temporary setup in the shop just for pictures, I still run the dual-screens at home!

I will bore anyone with the intricacies of what I think makes a good RGB effect. Also that Crosshair 8 looks good in there. Good result from Saturday's podcast!

Two Guys Talk Tech returns this afternoon, we're putting a repaired Crosshair 8 into my Torrent, and taste-testing a very dangerous looking drink😖 youtube.com/watch?v=ouhytF…

Victory 😌

Straightening a bent pin in the main PCI-E 16x slot on a ROG Crosshair 8 Hero🤞

@xraiderv17 Despite everything, it'll actually be fine. If that hole was in the logic board it'd be a much bigger problem 😓

@AdamantIT so..on the cactus scale, 1-10, how bad was the morning of the poor sod who owns this poor machine?

Liquid damage in keyboard, short on 5v fan connector. S0 rail, so had enough energy to put a crater in the keyboard and speaker. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@xraiderv17 I use auslogics disk defrag portable, but make sure you get an old version from like, 2018, because the new versions are all full of junk. For transferring to an SSD though, I find the best prep now is to delete the pagefile, hiberfile, and system restore points.

@AdamantIT I've seen you do disk defrag every time you move a windows install to an ssd, that doesn't look like the standard win10 disk defrag. what software are you using for that if I may ask?

I'm an RGB fanboy, but I definitely get the appeal of the stealth black look. Also the @NZXT H7 is really nice to build in.

Replacing a bad USB port on a Blue Yeti mic. One fix later and it's still going strong 👌 youtube.com/watch?v=VD1L8d…

PS. Going to try and get back on Twitter again, I've cleared the inbox because there's no way in heck I'll catch up on that, so if you've been trying to get hold of me, do try again. Please note, I can't do tech support over twitter😅
