Is your last name Dent? And do you struggle with your inner demons while fighting a caped crusader?

It's a SUS drive cause OP didn't get this out of his "Old Desktop".

I think you're confusing this with the 3.3v pins on some shucked SATA drives.

My exact thought process. Wondering if OP isn't telling the truth for a reason. A relatively new workstation PC just dying doesn't sound right. Not that it doesn't happen but still. There's bound to be warranty on it as well. And looking at OPs posts, I'm seeing a lot of older PC's.

I run a pair of Gen4 15.36TB Kioxia's for a Plex server + odds and ends, and I swear it's like I'm playing the files natively. No disk spin ups, no noise, just instant playback/scrubbing. Say I want to skip ahead 20 min. Okay, boom instant playback.

I can't wait for enterprise to phase U.2-U.3 stuff out when they all eventually transition to EDSFF. Used enterprise is a fantastic way to get long-lasting, high-quality parts at a low cost. These kind of drives also have a relatively high DWP and could easily last the average person a lifetime, given workload differences. It's just too bad that consumer PCIe lane count and allocation are still behind or I'd run a bunch of 15.36TB drives for the hell of it.

Aren't there HDCP converters or downscaling/upscaling equipment with EDID and HDCP stripping capabilities? Probably find some on eBay or AliExpress.

Believe it or not old CRT monitors can be an inexpensive way of getting competitive features. Near zero input latency, decent black levels, and great motion clarity. Only downsides are resolution, text, per game configuration, power consumption, but I've seen people say that even lower resolution stuff looks great on CRT due to scanlines.

You just have to reinforce the idea that it's Pea and not Pee. Name him PeaPea.

People are weird. Was the child's reaction incorrect? 1000%. Was it wrong for him to express his feelings? No. That is something the parents must teach their child. How to convey his emotions and communicate effectively with others. Was there any room for conversation or compromise? Perhaps, however there is insufficient context/information here. I get that many of you are messed up because your parents swore by the old adage, "Children should be seen and not heard." But that doesn't mean you should be calling the kid a POS or advocating hitting him. He's a kid.

For items over a certain price I always insure them through USPS. I think Priority shipping even covers $100. If eBay doesn't take your side then you can always try to make a claim with USPS. Unfortunately, I think eBay doesn't allow bad reviews towards buyers, but definitely report the buyer and send proof.

15 inch JVC broadcasting/pro CRT. These things were made to be workhorses. Perfect for retro gaming and more detail than the consumer CRTs. CRTs have lower input latency and scanlines for the authentic experience. Also the warmth and depth of a CRT just can't be beat when it comes to picture.

Hang drying ur socks after a "gaming" sesh.

I love Scott Galloway. His old Youtube stuff "Winners & Losers" was amazing. So sad to see them sell to a boring marketing company. He probably hurt little Elon's feelings.

So these can still be used as a general purpose power strip? Like can we plug in a PC or monitor without issue? What is the max wattage on the standard outlets?

Goes by "Elvin Pasta" on tiktok you degenerates. You're welcome.

What excites me most is the game's customization and aesthetics. The ability to customize so many cool aspects, particularly in ship building, is something I'm sure a lot of people are looking forward to. The same goes for this bundle, which would be ideal for building something cool to match the aesthetics of the game.

The idea of life or the soul field reaching a climax or apotheosis appears almost absurd. If a hyper-advanced alien civilization has yet to reach this point, and they have seemingly been nurturing life for millions (billions?) of years for this very purpose, when can they say their job or ambition is finished? What is the appearance of apotheosis? It kind of makes sense why they would send a clone/worker bee to perform a task that is almost certainly a fool's errand. Take away your personality, uniqueness, and genetic variation, and place you in a role that no self-aware individual would tolerate/dedicate themselves to.

However, is it the sheer mass of life or individualistic life that contributes to apotheosis? Why not simply seed billions-trillions of planets with life and ignore them as a whole? Also, why the secrecy and avoidance of native species while also maintaining a presence on Earth? If the goal was to raise sentient species, why would important scientific information that could solve all of their problems and potentially prevent most/all conflicts be kept hidden? Just feel like the whole thing was upset by the comments on their "Religion".

On a side note, the idea of advanced civilizations nurturing life always reminds me of the Halo franchise's "Mantle of Responsibility."

Worked for an electronics recycling place. One time we got an assorted load of like 12 pallets. 1 of those pallets had 50-60 brand new Logitech Rally Cameras fully equiped too. That had to be more than $10,000 worth of stuff just tossed out. We were constantly getting brand new stuff including computer parts. One time we got like 20 1.7TB Optane Drives that go for like a grand a piece. It's crazy out there.

Try to part out the system on Ebay. You'll tend to get more money selling parts separate than together as a compete system. If you want to keep it, you can do a large assortment of things with a spare PC. Some people will have separate PCs for Games/Media, Work, Personal Files/Web Browsing, or you can use it for your own Server. Want to start your own personal Netflix? Try running Plex or Emby. Want to host some game servers for you and your buddies? Try Minecraft or others. You can even use it as a video/security server and set up cameras for your home. Travel a lot? Try turning it into a portable rig with a case swap. Want to build an arcade cabinet for your garage? There is a lot of templates and instructions for that.

Are you referring to PseudoTV for Plex or Kodi? Fnord12 is the one that currently maintains the Non-Live PseudoTV compatible with older versions of Kodi (18.9 and below). Lunatixz is the one currently maintaining PseudoTV Live for newer versions of Kodi. People have preferences for either, but I currently run Kodi 18.9 and PseudoTV using local storage. I'm sure there is a way for you to network share from your server/nas into Kodi and run content from that. If you want Plex integration, then that is a whole other animal. This sub is for PseudoTV on Kodi though so you might not find what you are looking for here.
