I’ll check it out, thanks!

Helpful tips, but this made me chuckle.

I did a little digging and it looks like the problems were limited to ASRock motherboards paired with Ryzen 9000 series chips, and they claim they fixed it with a BIOS update. And yeah, if you’re not overly concerned with cable management then a semi-modular will do the job and cost less.

Built in 2019, with some upgrades here and there:

MOBO: Asus X570-E Gaming WiFi CPU: RYZEN 5800X3d GPU: Radeon 6700XT OS Drive: 2 TB WD NVME Power Supply: Corsair 1000W

Looking at your list I’d consider a couple of things:

1. do some research on the Motherboard. I have a vague recollection of ASRock having problems lately. Not sure what models or anything.

2. consider a fully modular power supply if you’re at all concerned about clutter inside your case. You might also look up the recommended PSU wattage for that GPU. I don’t know much about the Lisuan specifically, but a lot of them recommend at least 750W.

At first I thought it was satire, but when I saw the writer had the scientific Pokédex entries I knew it was legit

I’ve been wanting to take the leap, too. I’ve got Linux installed on my gaming laptop and I’ve been trying games one by one to see if they work. Next step is dual booting on my desktop and only switching to Windows when I absolutely can’t make something work. My biggest concern is that I have a bunch of games installed on various drives that are all Windows (NTFS?) formatted and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to run them on Linux. I really don’t want to have to reinstall all of them.

I hadn’t thought about that one. I occasionally use the word kiddo, but only to say, “hey kiddo!” I never use it to talk about my kids, like “we took the kiddos to the park yesterday.”

I don’t think it’s some latent psychological issue. I get along great with my mom, and I’ve never felt any resentment toward her. I’m also not bothered by words like mom, moms, mother, etc. I don’t even mind when my sons call my wife “mommy.” It’s just that one word, “momma,” that bugs me. I wish I had an explanation.

Mama, momma, mommas…

“Hey Facebook mommas, I’ve got a question about…”

I don’t know why, but it annoys the shit out of me.

KVM switch looks like it could work, since I don’t want to switch a USB switch and then still have to switch monitor input. Just need to find one with both an HDMI input and a DP input.

I second all of your statements. I don’t care if my Apple TV is on WiFi, but my gaming desktop is most definitely hooked to an Ethernet cable. I also use a wired keyboard and mouse on it, but I’ll admit I have a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse for my work laptop because I didn’t want to deal with another set of cables on the same desk, and I can’t think of a good solution for both machines to share the same keyboard and mouse without having to switch the cables between them all the time.

I worked in retail until 2016, and a few years before I left they switched all the PoS registers to Linux.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. There’s an old Dish Network dish on my roof from the last owner. I need to get an outdoor antenna and find a way to mount it on the dish.

I downloaded an app that came with my antenna that shows where the station broadcast antennas are, but unfortunately the room I’m using it in is on the south side of my house, and the two stations I can’t get are North of me

I need to get a better antenna. I can get Fox and ABC, but NBC and CBS must be too far away.

That’s not a bad idea. There’s actually a Unitarian church about two miles from my house. Last time I drove by there was a MAGA across the street shouting into a bullhorn, so that should at least make it interesting.

I’ve had this same question a hundred times. Seems like a lot of people find a sense of community in church, but I’m non-religious and I haven’t found a replacement.

I use rechargeable AAs and AAAs in all of my remotes, controllers, mice, etc, and the kids’ toys are so chaotic that I wouldn’t put anything in them I wasn’t willing to lose, so the batteriser has literally no value to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I used to work at Sears, and I could never figure out how a company that found its initial success in a catalog business didn’t immediately see the opportunities the internet presented. Now Sears is all but gone, and Bezos gets to go to space with Shatner :(
