If I only had a count of how many times I've turned various things off - only for them to get turned back on, reset to default, renamed and re-introduced, or otherwise shoved at me. I mean, if I had a airgapped box that never connected to the net - maybe I could keep it the way I want...

Nah, it still applies like a single loop - just takes longer because you have that mixing effect -- Tblend as I call it in the equations.

True, but you hit ambient, so... you didn't need the additional cooling, right? And if your Qin =/= Qout, then your inlet temp starts to creep up, and your gradient across those radiator fins will spread back out, as some differential function of inlet temp and radiator efficiency.. until you...

I guess I have to draw a dinstinction... as an OS, yeah, 10/11 seem to work fine. What I really don't like is Microsoft's attitude of updates/features they keep pushing. Like... Notepad now has AI? Start Menu has advertising? Updates tend to break more things than they fix? I'm all for...

Sounds correct - that's how the math would work out anyway. Energy = (mass flow) x (delta T) (x some other constants that end up canceling out in this case). You've got two loops, so that equation plays to the heating loop for energy going into the reservoir, and then a separate run of that same...

I got a lot of miles out of Windows 2k - almost as much as I did XP. Win10/11 may as well be the same system... and I think the prophets were right 25 years ago when they claimed the OS is dead, the Browser has taken it's place -- I think that's largely true, although I'd augment that to say...

The thermodynamic equations for that are pretty easy, if you wanted to prove it on paper. But it's easier to just YOLO turn it on and see what temps actually do. I bet it will be just fine - doesn't take nearly as much flow as you'd think it would to adequately cool a computer system. 0.6 gpm is...

This one the one I was thinking of, the trial is pretty interesting https://www.gamesindustry.biz/explosive-unknown-worlds-lawsuit-filing-claims-krafton-created-secret-task-force-to-execute-a-takeover They are going so far as to subpena ChatGPT logs claiming the CEO was asking ChatGPT how to...

Isn't this the company that went all in on AI generation and is laying off/pushing out developers left and right?

This is true, but they still had to spend capital to get that production run manufactured at some point.

I agree! could almost do it with a regular heat pipe arrangement

Man, I admit that game had so much promise back in the day. Today, it's people paying absurd amounts for CAD files to fly around.

That's true of any console. Steam isn't afraid of taking a loss though - remember the days of $5 Steam Links and Steam Controllers?

Should work ok as long as it's oriented correctly. It won't shatter any records but for a standard business PC or something that would be more than adequate. That said, not exactly easy to install or pull off if you needed to repaste, and very specific to that motherboard/case combo. I think...

1K fanless is a feat. I agree, seems a bit niche, as once you get that large other components all have fans that make the PSU negligible. Still neat though.

If Windows Update makes Edge my default browser one more f'n time... I'm gonna go all Red Stapler.

I admit to watching that mostly just to watch her run down the isle with her hammer.

True, although any distro that you get Steam running on and put it in Big Picture mode is "pretty darn close"

I have no idea, but don't forget to account for inflation! I assume just about as many people are still regularly feeding their digital pets as are using their Oculus regularly. Perhaps a Venn diagram would show a lot of overlap there? I have no scientific data to back that up, other than I...
