Wait, so Car Wash mode has to be on while driving in the rain also?


They attempted to blocking videos for adblock users on YouTube some time ago, it was effective for like, I don’t know, a few days?


Google lost the battle even in their own browser so now they’re trying to save face by attacking third party apps, dumbass just don’t know how to take the L.


Yes, everyone should be careful downloading files from a rando on the internet. But at the same time, most people just want to get the files and don’t want or know how to deal with the source code. And everything is on archive.org but not everyone knows about it, and they probably don’t want to wait for a new emulator when they know the old one works.

I’m not saying that you should trust me, you don’t know me, I don’t know you, so as you said, it’s best to be careful anyway.

Btw, I’ve read that Yuzu collected telemetry, and now that Nintendo owns the site, it’s best to set up a firewall and block Yuzu from accessing the internet so be safe.



Does overclocking negatively affect the GPU at in any way if it doesn’t reach the thermal limit at all?
I overlock my Gigabyte RTX 3060 12GB OC with MSI Afterburner, with Mem at +550, Core at +55, Voltage at 100%, temp limit at 90C and power limit at 124 (which are the highest possible for temp and power). I stress tested it with FurMark for over 30 minutes and the highest temp I've got is like 67-68C, on very rare occasions it reaches 69 (nice), I got a 70 once and never reach it again. I've read that overclocking reduces the GPU lifespan since it causes more stress and high temp. But mine is no where close to thermal limit so I wonder if overclocking is harmful to the card if the temp is below the thermal limit.

What happens if you turn on the PC without plugging the power cable for the GPU?
So I was changing the case fans, after I put everything back together, I forgot to plug in the power for the GPU. I turned the pc on and I saw the white LED on GPU power port lid up and heard the fan spins like crazy (I don't know if it was the CPU fan or the GPU fans), I panicked and immediately turned off the power supply. Everything happened in less than 2 seconds, I've run some stress tests and gamed for a few hours and nothing bad happened (yet?) so I assumed everything is still fine (for now?). What happens if I had left it on like that for longer? And why did the fan ram up like that?

Do I need to cover the top vent with something?
There is a magnetic top vent filter that comes with the case but it covers the top rear exhaust fan so I don't really want to put it on. Yes, I know the pc is dirty, but I'm getting a new PSU after Christmas so I'll clean it then.

I just got blocked by YouTube on LibreWolf today but not Firefox. The ad blocking related extensions I have are uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Malwarebytes. After 15 minutes of resetting uBlock Origin settings, I’ve decided to try turning them off one by one, I found that it was Malwarebytes that triggered it. Even when I whitelisted Youtube but it didn’t work, I have to disable the extension to fix it. It looks like it isn’t YouTube don’t want you using adblocks, it’s YouTube don’t want you to block scams and malwares.


“changed”? More like “removed”



You don’t buy Apple products for the technology or innovations anymore, now you buy Apple products for the bragging rights of being able to pay premium prices for things everyone else has been using for a decade that have a lot more features for a fraction of the price.



Google: Amateurs!

Be seriously, why do they need info about my sex life? Do I need to check for my car brand in JAV’s credits now?


If it ain’t broke, we’ll break it!


Should I clone my drive to the new one or just get a SATA SSD?
I have a 250 GB M.2 SSD in which Windows is installed and a 1 TB M.2 to store my games and stuff. Now the 1 TB is out of space and I'm buying another 2 TB drive, but I don't know if I should clone the 250 GB to the 1 TB and move the contents in the 1 TB to the new 2 TB stick, or just buy a SATA SDD for the same price. I can have faster write/read speed with the 1st option but with I only get 1 more TB of storage, while the second option gives 2 TB at the cost of speed. Which way should I go? Both the M.2 and SATA I'm planning on buying have the same price and I mainly use the PC to play games. I play FO4 and I have a lot of mods installed (like over 500) so I need space but I don't know if the speed trade-off is worth it. Edit: I forgot to mention, the 250GB has the fastest write/read speed.

It’s China, you know it’ll be packed with all kinds of features and performs like absolute shit


Firefox+UBO and Revanced users: Oh no… anyway…


Firefox users: Another Chromium drama? People never learn


I hope so too. But if somehow the cost to manufacture phones with removable batteries is higher then I doubt they’d switch the existing production line to removable battery. I hope I’m wrong, to be honest.


but only the EU though, everywhere else is still fucked
