local ssd prices are crazy, especially for the Crucial which is probably just an old stock and slightly newer old stock 😆 no heatsink 2TB model is priced way higher than the same model but with a heatsink, and almost as high as a 4TB model 🙃 (for $US prices - divide by 43.5)

🤗 with almost 9TB of this are PS3 games, although I tried to weed out the different countries duplicates and sports and singing games I don't care about

GX2 also works 🫠 and I got another 7950GT with artifacts and Zalman VF700 for cheap, mostly for the cooler :)

I tested my 7950GT that I 'fixed' in November and it still works

AI companies contracted most of the DRAM manufacturing capacity, there is simply not enough left for the consumers. Crucial, for example, exited consumer RAM/SSD market recently... techbros are innocent, this time 😆

yeah, maybe x3d cpus aren't very dependable on the bandwidth though? still, I would feel bad buying one stick 🫠

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
want another 16GB stick? that would be + $225 🫴

I have my annoyances about the Wyze ecosystem (like dropping support for open RTSP firmware), but this shot at Amazon's Ring ad is perfect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROFblZ_-9q4

it would be a waste of a perfectly good AGP port imho 😆 I would go with GF3 Ti200, which is an overkill but would run some more 'modern' games nicely even with an underpowered CPU

My 'technique' was to heat the die to about 100 - 110C (holding an infrared thermometer in one hand and hot air thingy in the other) and slightly tap the die with hot air nozzle couple of times 🤷‍♂️

I didn't bother to take before and after pictures, because I honestly didn't believe it would work, but, if after all the fixes it still doesn't work, try gently heating the core... bsky.app/profile/s0n1...

well, actually 😅 used this thing only yesterday, and it worked relatively well, plus it's local, free and easy to setup invoke.ai so maybe there's something to it after all...

I had to use local electricity and water after all 😆 it's not perfect, but what is...

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
for this to work you need to have that storage

have you tried a different hdd? maybe this one has bad bearings or something🤔

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
It's a common sense talking, you need some base generation for the peak hours - hours when people are home and it's dark outside. For this you either run fossils, nuclear, hydro or have batteries
100
s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
for the renewables to really work (and not only when there's a sun or wind), you need a shitton of batteries or some other type of energy storage, which leads to all the same problems, unfortunately (only they get shifted to the 3rd world countries, in case of batteries and panels)

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
well, in nuclear, water for the reactor is in a closed loop (obviously) secondary loop usually takes water from some dedicated pond and it's clean afterwards anyway. big fossil fuel plants are also usually near the rivers and not exactly pollute the water, at least shouldn't

P.S. I would have gladly bought the CD, but it's not available 🤷‍♂️

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
only once it kept it original (or close to it) but it messed up the aspect ratio
120
s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
The OP is me 🤡 All I wanted is an image I could print on CD, but it was too much to ask apparently, it was messing up the original style, so I simplified the tast - just fill the white borders, keeping the original style, and yet it keeps altering the center part

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
I think ideally it should have been integrated into some local power plant from the start, heating water is heating water after all...

ok, so swamp coolers basically 😆

s0n1c.bsky.social @s0n1c.bsky.social · 07/02/2026
lol, at least it's not my water and power 🤡 (btw, I still don't understand how data centers use up the water, shouldn't it be a closed loop system?)
