Ah, I see now, that's a limitation of the 5600G processor. It can only do x8 + x4 + x4, the first 8 lanes can't be bifurcated regardless of motherboard/chipset. I did not know this despite owning a few of them, haha. The last two x4 + x4 lanes can be either bifurcated in the first slot, or...

Cool setup, definitely understand the mess. If it works, it works! haha I would think you'd use the first and second x16 slots for the NVME drives since your motherboard will split the lanes x8 + x8 and has bifurcation support so you can have four drives across both slots as x4 x4 + x4 x4...

I read somewhere here that you can ask the mods to add info to the main post by reporting your post and putting in your request as the reason. That was a while ago and lots of things have changed since then but you can give it a try. It should be easy enough, if it's not requested often.

Sell international: pressure cooker handles, rubber seals and valves. Not weights. Someone local to me started doing that and only that before the lockdown. Now they're driving a mid 2010's BMW 5 series.

I don't use Windows on a daily basis but I am most of my extended family's tech support (20+ machines) in different countries. What's worked for me is to set up a Administrator account but never log-in to it. This'll allow you to have every user account as a non-admin user while still retaining...

If you're looking for overclocking support, these motherboards are either dying or dead. If you're looking for 32GB memory support, consider a Q87 branded desktop, like the Dell 9020. They don't use standard power supplies, but random sellers on Amazon sell adapters.

Benchmarking! I've always wanted to get into comparative benchmarking but never had the time. I lost count the number of times I ran 3DMark2000 on my Riva TNT2 Ultra back in the day, but it was way more than the games I played on it, haha. So I've been toying with the idea of benchmarking and...

You can ask support to zero out your balance, I do it all the time since all my paid mac apps are on the US store but all the mobile apps are from the India store and switching between them every now and then. To keep losses at a minimum, I try and keep unused balances under $1.

It used to be individual-focussed a couple of years ago, now they're prioritizing collaboration, so it's a much busier app. But there's a "My Tasks" view/button and everything I need is in there. Thanks for the ticktick recommendation, I'll check it out soon, saved it for now.

Ha, half of old India have the same tiles.

When I was younger, pomodoro worked really well. Forced breaks forced a change in perspective, regrouping of ideas and pursuing a different approach for the same task. For reminders I had noteplan, but I no longer have an iOS device as my main phone. These days, it's a trifecta. 1) Stretchly...

The on-time-promise coupon is idempotent (woo new word), you're only allowed to have one unused coupon at any time. So if you get a new one, the old one is invalidated. In other news, apparently I'm getting more coupons than what I'm able to use, surely this isn't profitable for them in any...

Even better, use PoE for power. I've been powering all my remote esp8266 sensors with simple PoE to 12V adapters.

Very likely it is, it's not powered on, ha. Also I have the same dusting cloth from a pack I got on Amazon. I really don't want to look it up, I just know I'm going to be sucked in (playing on a mac). Maybe in the summer. I heard there was a browser version and just had a quick play: Most...

That's pretty clever, you'd just need a UI button that toggles without caring if something is on or off — and you could also implement state reading with a mains-level optocoupler working as an input, to show in the UI if a device is powered or not. Love this thread, it's giving me ideas on...

That's exactly what Jonathan Oxer did: https://youtube.com/user/SuperHouseTV All switches are wired with ethernet and trigger mqtt events that control lights with Arduino hardware. I've taken a lame-hybrid approach with Tasmota, the wifi switch is in line with traditional wiring. When you...

^ I remember fondly of the hours and hours that I peered through TTL books finding cool and interesting chips by the window during the monsoon because we had no power. I hid mine :D Ha! Okay so to keep things fair, I've limited this to stuff that I purchased 20 years ago AND intentionally...

oye wait I want this ygpm

That's the MRP price on nvidia's india website.

Conservative calculations help temper expectations: 10 year return is around 200x of monthly amount, 20 year return is 750x. Of course the amount goes up as income increases over time and debts are paid off. Does that make sense or am I missing something?
