Hairline rule
  • Just change how you think about this: Instead of reminding you about your hairline it shows that you're not the only one!

    Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • Good that most apps I use now are open source but for those few that I still get from Aurora Store it might be a death sentence but perhaps this API could be spoofed?

    Top 10 Anime of the Week #08 - Summer 2024 (Anime Corner)
  • Just finished last episode of Oshi no Ko and I can see why it's in the first spot. It's just keeps getting better and better. I love how they made one of the best animations I've ever seen but then they said: "You know what? That's just not enough let's just make it more creative, expressive, colorful." But obviously VA performance and plot is also amazing so it just keeps delivering peak entertainment.

    PC sometimes won't turn on until I unplug it from the wall for a 30 seconds or so. Faulty PSU?
  • Light flashes and fans move for a fraction of the second but isn't that normal? I always do that when I want to quickly discharge caps and swap some components without worrying about shorting something.

  • I know how you feel man. I used to work in a job like that. Honestly what saved me was reading some comedy manga on mangadex. Since it didn't require a lot of brainpower and I could just stop reading it whenever I wanted it was perfect for times like this. My head also was in a much better state than after scrolling back then reddit for hours. If you don't like manga you could just find some easy book.

    If you can't go for a walk during work go before or after work. I try to cycle every day after work and it always makes me feel better.

  • Go for a walk, read a book, watch a movie, play a game it will make you feel so much better. Just remember to change activities every few hours. If you're going to play games for 10h you are probably going to get bored of it way too quickly.

  • I always thought that PSU testers were way more expensive but it's good to know you can buy them relatively cheap. Honestly I'm curious if such a tester would detect anything. Currently the PSU works just fine under heavy load (CPU + GPU stress test). It only happens when I turn off the PC or put it to sleep so low or little to none power draw.

    I haven't seen any bad caps on the GPU or motherboard so I'll see on the PSU (obviously with caution).

    With GPU it's an easy swap so I once exchanged GPUs with my friend to see if GPU is causing crashes (it was RAM btw) but with PSU I feel it's a lot of work to unplug everything so I don't want to bother them too much. I ordered an MSI 800W PSU. I have two weeks to return it if I want but your idea of having a spare is a good one.

  • True, usually when you work with high voltage you make sure that everything is unplugged and safe. It's common sense and that's why even though you should call an electrician to change the light bulb nobody will tell you to not do it yourself. PSU is not that simple though. Capacitors can still hold a charge. Unless you got trained for working with high voltage you definitely shouldn't tinker with the PSU.

  • Honestly that's wild. In one laptop I have there is a dedicated barrel charging port but there's also USB-C so I thought maybe I can charge it via USB too but nope, no power is being transferred, literally 0 amps. Meanwhile on PC if you buy an active USB hub it will power your computer lol. I feel like USB on PC should only output power. It wouldn't be even expensive to make it that way.

    Just out of curiosity is your motherboard higher or lower end?
