Corsair SF Series, SF750 is the one I bought for my build and it's been very quiet with a 0 RPM mode on most of the time I use the PC. Flexible "para cord" sleeved cables are very nice as well. I've had it just over a year without issue, but that's not a long time for a PSU.

That is a certification of efficiency but does not take into account quality of cooling (fan bearing, design in component placement, control etc), especially important in SFF, or of assembly of components. If cost is really such an important factor, I would consider a larger form factor where constraints would not be so costly. It would at least be easier to build a quiet machine when fans can be larger and run a lower RPMs with adequate room to route cabling and facilitate ventilation.

If you get spend a little more for a quality PSU, it will last through all of your other upgrades. It's really one of the few things that can be totally useful even after changing out your motherboard for the third time with that new chipset required by your next cpu.

just because they started packaging wine with their app

Even if that's all they did, that is more than anyone else is doing. What they really did was make nearly every game they sell easily playable without requiring you to use Windows. As byproduct, DXVK (part of Valve's Proton) provides greater compatibility and performance for Windows users as well (Intel ARC driver and DX9 game support for example). They have salaried employees working exclusively on making this work and their development is open source for anyone to use modify and share. Epic or any other store front could freely take advantage of this work and benefit why don't they do that instead of whining?

There's at least as much of a "massive discrepancy" between what Valve and Epic provide as value to people that chose their service.

thank you for easing my personal self-loathing a bit!

U,D,U,D,L,R,L,R,B,A,B,A games when?

As far along as emulation has come, I'd like to see a proper Little Big Planet port with multi-player and local server support.

Rad concept and execution! Do you plan some more pieces in this medium?

[–] FreeLikeGNU 2 points 9 months ago

I agree that we need better rail and mass transit along with more pedestrian-friendly planning overall. Some benefit from electric vehicles, including busses and trucks is less polluted air on the routes shared with bicycles and pedestrians.

hehe as I bolt owner I'm now trained to listen for the beeps. I had an eGolf with the port on the rear passenger side and it seemed far less annoying than front driver side... I guess because stepping back to close driver door then forward seems more awkward than just continuing back and around. This is more so when getting back in the car to chill while DCFC charging.
