I need to get a new Android phone. Does anyone have recommendations? Also, is it worth looking into getting an alternative OS? I'd love to avoid using Google products, but also if that means I can't use my banking app that's not worth it for me 😅

When I was over there, a Korean friend had me try this 41% craft soju and it was perhaps the tastiest spirit I've ever had. I liked it so much I ordered it again in Germany this week. In a much smaller bottle, and for way too much money of course... @psc have you heard of this?

It comes with a 6+2 pin / 6 pin PCIe power splitter. I only need one of these; as far as I understand, both have 3x12V connections. I snipped off the 6 pin here, I'll use the leftover cables as extensions. 4/?

First, to check whether everything is working as expected, I short the "PS_ON" pin on the ATX connector (otherwise the PSU doesn't do anything), then check the voltage on the CPU connector (4+4 pin) 3/?
