    What to shop in Japan?

    This is probably a different view but I usually don't buy anything abroad. Whatever I want from whatever country I import, if available.

    Do you carry your phone to bedroom at bedtime?

    I understand, though this 5 minutes turns into 2 hours only occurred to me when I was a teenager. I will note I am not interested in any social media.

    Do you carry your phone to bedroom at bedtime?

    Interesting. I barely use my phone. Few calls/messages, order food and use as remote for some PC programs. I never browse on the phone. That said I do keep my phone near me when I sleep though this isn't important, I'd be happy to keep it outside the room, it is simply habbit to plug it in to...

    Finally secured all parts for PC but need help with assembling?

    If you want to learn then you should do it. If you want an easy and effective way to do the job then hire someone. Enjoy and have at it.

    Finally secured all parts for PC but need help with assembling?

    There are people in most main cities who do these jobs, their expertise and knowledge varies but hiring one of them could be what you need. If you do not know anyone then you might consider getting in touch with one of the bigger local shops and asking them if they have their own in house person...

    PC case with lots of drive bays

    If you are not adding a hot CPU/GPU to the case then don't worry too much about airflow/temps about HDD, 2-3 fans should be okay, I read a study a long time ago with a lot of pretty graphs, they said 2 things - Keep the HDD temperature stable ie don't swing too much between too hot and too...

    PC case with lots of drive bays

    Sorry I wish I had something to offer but I don't know anyone. Ha! Yes I sold it, if I could buy it back at twice the price I would. Edit : I have a Fractal Define 7 (again don't remember model) and this is in no way comparable to the Stacker. Also it's method of installation is different...

    PC case with lots of drive bays

    You'd need to check if its available and works for you but a long time ago I had a CM Stacker 830 (I think this was the model) , pretty good case. CaseLabs shut down a long time ago, there was a reboot in the works not sure if it has launched yet. The server racks people can try their luck...

    PC case with lots of drive bays

    CaseLabs, if you can find a used one or if the reboot has started. Lots of server grade rack mount cases, often Chinese and in some cases can be had used. If using in rack pay attention to depth. Personally like the Supermicro stuff.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    Interesting posts. People's thoughts are primarily made through a personal lens of bias. Not directed at anyone, general thought.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    This is about right. People here don't seem to understand war, only politics.

    I am not interested in talking about gaza.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    Make it real? Sorry did not understand. A small country going first depends on the details, also for them to strike first there must be reason. Deterrence is based on making a credible threat that your opponent believes AND is unacceptable to them. Nuclear or not.

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    These are hypothetical scenarios, what happens depends on the situation in these scenarios. I don't agree. You seem to not acknowledge the simple part that war/politics are usually not run from paper that sets the rules. The actual practice is simple, countries understand there are some things...

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    Most countries would prefer they are not used. When the time comes to use one, no one is going to let some paper stop them. I think the term for all this talk between countries about their nukes and doctrines is called "posturing". The US used a nuke against a country without one, if anyone...

    Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

    Honestly you seem to be repeating so I will too, as I said please see what I spoke of before regarding border clashes (or equivalents) and showing that a country has the intent to use nukes. Don't know how many you need. Again as before I think people will use their nukes as they please. I...

    4 GPUs, PC freeze. Possible pcie lanes saturation?

    These "risers" are interesting. I don't follow along that much so asking, were these made/designed for mining? Also do GPUs work at 100% capacity when using these risers for any work ?

    Samsung S23 or A55 ?

    My expectations did not increase, the budget did. But the budget was open ended. I had to choose something for the purposes of asking for a recommendation. Since I liked the J7, I wanted something similar. I understand but don't have anything to say. Go with whatever you will regret less. My...
