No that's the SL2, I've had this open to reapply the thermal paste its held down with 4 screws and magnets.

I had the Pixel 5 with GOS, and the camera on that was awful, the google camera app did all the heavy lifting to make it good. I now have the Pixel 8 with GOS and the camera quality of the grapheme camera app vs the google camera is much closer, but the google camera app is better. I use it with all permissions removed apart from storage.

Depends on the model, this can be opened up and lightly serviced, the CPU and ram are all soldered, but it can be dismantled and the ssd and battery can be replaced.

I got this for image editing on the go, so Lightroom and Photoshop are a must.

This is the SL3. So I can upgrade the SSD and if I absolutely need to. The battery.

I've had my ultrawide for about 4 years and games that support it look amazing, not had an issue. Games that don't. I just play in 16:9, the black bars arnt much of an issue given that its no real loss as the alternative is either a stretched out image or use a 16:9 monitor.

I use Kick Back Coffee (in the UK) I have used them for about 6 months, but recently I have switched to try out Origin Coffee (also UK) on their weekly subscription, so far (3 weeks in) I'm enjoying it very much, I still go to Kick Back Coffee, but as they are local, I pop in and get it in person.

Not in this tank, I do currently have a bit of a bloom going on as I have just put in fish and used quick start. On my other thank, it does seem to have a but of a brown/orange tinge to it, but unsure if its the wood, or due to the orange/white/brown substrate is just making it look like it.

I've picked up 6 Cardinal Tetras and also migrated 3 coral platty's over, thinking of getting a couple Pleco's too.

Yea, I've been looking at it for a while and I think it needs more elevation and more caves/hiding places.

I do plan on taking clippings of the plants as they grow to bulk out the greenery.

As for what fish, I'm thinking tetras, thinking something small.

It has seemingly gone away now I have swapped the SATA cable (connector P3) on my LSI card. Is this typical for a faulty connection?

Appdata, isos, system and domains are the only things on the Cache drive, mover has been run and there is nothing on the cache drive that shouldn't be. I only have 1 docker installed currently (plex) and no VMs or ISOs downloaded or(no VMs). I have tried to delete old files that docker apps left behind, but some of the folders won't delete. ( I also have a share thsts empty but there are folders I can't delete (no files in them that I can see) and therfor can't remove the share)

I'm at a point where I want to restart my server from scratch, but don't want to loose the data on the drives in the array, can this be done? And if so, how?

So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.

I'm looking at getting the following, but I'm stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)

PC specs that I have landed on.

  • AMD 7800X3D
  • 32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
  • Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
  • Noctua 140mm CPU cooler

I am carrying over the following from my old PC

  • Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
  • SSD storage
  • EVGA 850w gold PSU

I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I'm looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.

If you want a hyper tactile, just get these, they are very clacky so if your after something quiet, these ain't it. But if you don't, then these are worth checking out.

 

Here are all my keebs.

From oldest to newest:

  • TM680 - Case foam, tape mod, wheel weights, foam in all the places. MMD Holy Panda Switches and Pudding keycaps - this was the first custom keyboard I got, its had all the switches and keycaps you can see in this picture are some point in time, I have used this for 2 years up until only recently.

  • Teater68 - got this as something to experiment with and also somewhere put the Gayeron Milky Yellow switches when I upgraded to the Gazzew Boba switches, this was used as a WFH keyboard. - this has had all the mods plus a internal battery with USB C charging added. Will have the Gateron Milky Yellows put back on and then I will pick up some white keycaps just to finish this off again.

  • Feker JJK21 - I missed the numpad so I picked this up, it has the tape mod and that's it. It started its life out as white as it was £20 cheaper than the black one, so I spray painted it black to match the TM680 and now the Monsgeek M1. Its got Holy Tom V2 switches and Gentleman XDA V2 keycaps.

  • Monsgeek M1 - I wanted something fancy and made of metal, so I got this, its had the tape mod done and that's it. Its got Gazzew Boba U4T switches (68g springs) and Gentleman XDA V2 keycaps.

  • GMK67 - impulse buy as it was £26 delivered. It will be getting MMD Princess Tactile switches when they arrive, it currently has Gateron Milky Yellow switches and Honey Milk XDA keycaps.

  • Switch tester has a bunch of all different switches, looks cool.

Thanks for reading.

 

It has come to my attention that everything that I tinker with, ends up with purple...

Monsgeek M1 with Boba U4T's 68g springs, Gentleman XDA v2 keycaps.

Tape mod and force break mod, all stabs and switches lubed.
