    Something Random

    In Danish culture this is a much more common problem, as the average Dane is about as socially awkward as us, and being outgoing is frowned upon. I now find myself in several small social groups (3-5 people) who chat amongst themselves in Discord or elsewhere. It is unfortunate that culture as...

    Something Random

    Sorry to hear it.

    Strange network performance behavior troubleshooting

    Another thing to help rule out the switch is doing a test from System B to System C, but I think Merc might be right on the system transfer limit (bursting through the cache and then limiting).

    Up to date Malware Removal

    One of the things in the Startup Repair toolset is rolling back changes to the PC. I wonder if it rolled back far enough to restore Norton? Either way, killing it is the right move. Uninstalling should be enough to prevent it from running, which matters more than every file and registry entry.

    Something Random

    I haven't seen any of it since Ep2 (though we did recently see Ep 6 while the Stockholm Symphony Orchestra performed the entire soundtrack live). But my guess would be technology?

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    My experience can be summed up as: don't do anything too much. Change what you can when you think about it. Seat height, desk height, monitor height, which hand you use for the pointing device, which pointing device you use, etc. Or go touch grass or something, but none of us were going to do...

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    I have a Logitech MX Ergo S that I bought one of the times my wrist started acting up. I've never been fast enough with it to switch full time. I'm currently running an MX Master 3S for my right hand and change to a Superlight in my left when it hurts. I've also experimented with a Wacom tablet.

    Video Cards

    I've been helping a friend on a budget look for a 1440 gaming card to pair with a 9600X CPU his current thoughts are 9070>5070>B580, though I suspect that the Intel card will be most likely to be available near MSRP.

    9950X3D/4090 Watercooled Build

    This is actually nearly 300W lower total power consumption than the rig still in my signature. But that said, games these days let you limit your framerate, and my display is only capable of 120hz, so 120hz(@4k) with VSync in most games I play actually draws a much lower amount of power...

    9950X3D/4090 Watercooled Build

    They aren't actually behind. The front 3 are all the way at the bottom of the chassis, and the back 3 are all the way at the top. There is a few cm of overlap, but the chassis itself has an air guide that separates the two. So far with all the overclock, 5.9Ghz CPU and 3Ghz GPU, and many stress...

    9950X3D/4090 Watercooled Build

    Biggest remark at this point is that running all the memory possible at 6000 has been zero effort. Even after upping the fabric clock and taking the ratio to 1:1, still no issues.

    Initial overclock complete. Will run stress tests for the next few days. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/131835136? https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/131835818?

    9950X3D/4090 Watercooled Build

    I totally get that some people care about the looks, I just don't. The thing I care about most is that it is silent unless doing something hard, and then it keeps temps optimal while squeezing the most from the hardware. Apparently I also don't care about reboots. This is the OS drive from my...

    9950X3D/4090 Watercooled Build

    Now back from vacation and the rest of the parts have arrived. Still bleeding the loops, and I might do some cable management. For some reason the highest performance water cooling parts have RGB, I'll at least make them white when I can.

    Laptop Boot Drive Swap Fails

    PCIe Gen 5 SSDs run super hot, even with the provided aluminium plate and thermal pad my T705 thermal throttles quickly. Now looking at aftermarket solutions, maybe just a heatpipe to tie it to my GPU backplate.
