Had this experience today. It was incredibly frustrating. Had to meme about it since I can't get approval for my fix until tomorrow at 9am in another meeting.

Completely agree. Airflow isn't prohibited from what I can tell. I still have plenty of room thanks to my top hat so I consider it a fantastic case especially with community mods.

You know, actually there was a great RAM overclocking leaderboard for the 5800X3D and my motherboard. The spreadsheet was sort of proof that I think my timings and limitations came down to my mini-ITX board rather than the memory modules themselves. When I spent two months tuning the RAM and finished my achieved speeds were precisely in line with the others who had my mobo/CPU. As for my RAM, both sets were Hynix CJR. They were both GSkill just one was a 3600 kit and the one I have now is "4000" down clocked to 3800 for stability. This was the sheet I used to compare: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dsu9K1Nt_7apHBdiy0MWVPcYjf6nOlr9CtkkfN78tSo/edit?gid=1677627148

Or you can google directly "Zen RAM OC Leaderboards - Google Sheets" and see if anyone else has your config!

Your Fractal Terra is actually what inspired me to post! Your water cooling mod is amazing for that size build and I would say cable management is a tertiary issue when you've got that much cooling available! I posted a shot of the inside and I am ready for the community feedback though lol.

Edit: Dropped one more internal photo and fully expecting the community let me know that's definitely not how to route motherboard and fan cables 😂

Wanted to post this here as I'm barely able to call this SFF anymore. I went a little crazy on thingiverse and printed both the Top Hat mod by NaturalNetworks and the dual front fan mod by isotope_jx who both shared their incredible designs. I paired the top hat mod with my Kraken 240mm AIO and the front fan mod is being paired with two Corsair ML120 Pros. I can definitely say my case airflow has improved including the bottom of the case where my GPU sits. Got about 8 degrees lower on the GPU while idle and about 10 degrees under full load. CPU still testing. I did not cut the front of my case as mentioned on thingiverse for the front fan mod so it likely isn't giving the CPU as much air as it could be getting. There are some small gaps but that definitely came down to printer variance. I did PLA for the top hat mod and ASA for the front fan. 50% in-fill on both, supports enabled, using orcaslicer and Qidi Plus 4 printer. Was able to print the entire front fan as one piece but top hat mod I did have to leave in smaller pieces and build it. Rest of the rig info is below. I won't be sharing the inside of my case photos as my cable management is shameful but if there are pictures you want to see let me know!

I think it is the equivalent of running 'make clean' after a build from source? You can do this manually building arch user repo packages to free up space because the executable and package that you installed is already there through pacman. However, updates in the future would require building those make dependencies again so it might save you time in the future, but probably irrelevant to you running the app today.

You all are awesome, thank you for your work implementing this!

Just wait until you get to Transunion's site. It is a dumpster fire of consisting of the worst sign up I've ever seen, "Contact our social team" and "If you haven't logged in for awhile create a new account. I could not believe how awful it was. I had to just call and do it over the phone.

My favorites remove the temple mini-game and less annoying temples so you only have to do them once on your first play through and then their rewards are unlocked fully.

I am always looking for a good XP mod though if someone has a recommended one. I tried Less Heinous Leveling which was good but had a major progression issue/bug.

Genuinely excited for this. I enjoy the scanning and landmark points but getting to them was a chore at anything over 500 meters. With this I'll be able to survey planets faster and hopefully escort some of these random injured NPCs back their base/ship more quickly. Maybe even take Andreja out on the Paradiso volleyball court like they did in the trailer at 0:54. Nice work devs and editing team!

It was in response to the Naomi Brockwell post she did on Twitter about businesses using WiFi, Bluetooth and Location Services to track you in public locations. You can Google it directly "NBTV Advice from Defcon" or this link: https://nbtv.substack.com/p/advice-from-defcon-turn-off-bluetooth

 

I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn't scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn't work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?

While I agree music service has a lot of good things about it, it is not good for the long term. Lesser known artists are not paid that much, it is endless billing for something you'll never own and it will only ever cost you more year over year. I would considering using music streaming for artist discovery and playlist creation rather than a long term plan for music listening. Look into bandcamp and artist pages you love to find where you can buy your favorites of their music because when music streaming becomes unsustainable, and it will, you won't be left with nothing.

This is how all subscription should be handled unless they are critical to your daily life. Good advice!

 

Looking like this leak might have some merit surrounding the land vehicle teaser shown awhile back by Bethesda. I watched the video and I am actually excited for what I am seeing since I believe this is the first working vehicle like this in a Bethesda game. Also I will be able to get to the planet features/anomalies I need to scan faster.

Edit: This appears to no longer exist for me on the August hotfix. Thank you all for your feedback!

On the Android 15 Beta you can get to this page by visiting Settings > System > Device Diagnostics > Component Health > Battery Status

I think my question for you all is anyone's percentage reported as less than 100%? I do have a relatively new phone (Pixel 8 Pro) but after 136 charge cycles I would expect to lose a percentage point or two so I was just seeing if anyone had different stats.
