    It's fine, but about watching videos in the worst way possible, NOT 60FPS, little heads up, browsers limit the FPS of videos from almost all sites to 30, so even if the video is actually 60FPS the playback will be locked to 30FPS and you can't bypass that:P Only exception is Chrome letting you...

    I did, if pages load slowly but speedtests are fine, it's probably the server ping or the page has heavy traffic, just try at a different time. Also, just restart your internet just in case to refresh the ping to ISP's server. With the lockdowns and everything, most people are just online...

    If 115 down/40 up is slow then I'm an airplane... dude, I'm LUCKY if I get 34 down/5 up and that's already plenty fast to stream videos, watch stuff, download stuff or play games online! Most of the time I get like 20 down/3 up on speedtests, don't be so spoiled, your internet's speed is just...

    - I believe people are good to each other in order to get others to be good to them or praise them - Helping others isn't bad, but sometimes it's better let people figure stuff out on their own - I agree to some degree, namely Pokemon past Gen 4 - There is one:P - What about those who ARE...

    AGAIN, do NOT confuse O3DS with O2DS, the screws on the O3DS are all SURFACE screws, the O2DS has screws like a full centimeter inside the hole before you reach the screw head, literally impossible to drill out and use pliers on WITHOUT damaging the case whatsoever. PS: Also, idiots should...

    @nero99 Advice that only sometimes "works" but having considerable risk isn't good advice. Like I've said, I've been tinkering/building/repairing electronics since I was 6 years old, that's basically 18 years of doing that stuff and this is literally the first time I ever encountered SUCH bad...

    Basically for VERY badly damaged screws what you need to do is make something "stick" to them to give you enough leverage to make the screw turn. Most often people working on electronics just use the simple "use some solder with a screwdriver" since solder is easy to remove from the screwdriver...

    Do you even understand how screws work? If I drill the flat part of the screw off then pull the cover with the rest of the screw still in the turns will break, not the screw's the plastic cover's... Sure it might work sometimes, but not willing to risk the turns getting ruined forcing me to...

    I'm fucking pissed now!

    My O2DS's L trigger has been having lots of problems for a while now due to the spring shifting a little over time from heavy use and also dirt buildup in there, so half the time inputs go through and the other half it's not working, so I decided to open it up and fix it. Apparently, Nintendo...

    Comment by 'ThoD' in 'GPU upgrade time.'

    I get you may not like having a big case or something, but high-spec on a micro case will slowly mess up high-end components, GPU running at 77°C is actually VERY high, most cards shouldn't get past 45°C, maybe 55°C, after half an hour at full load if there's proper air flow, but with the micro...

    I often forget how crude, bad and cringey old american cartoon designs/artstyles were, thanks for reminding me, now, gotta try and forget it again:rofl2:

    Comment by 'ThoD' in 'this is what a stack 140 i5 i7 and xeons looks like'

    @Memoir That is NOT a Bulldozer/Piledriver issue, it's an architectural issue with old AMD processors in general since while they did indeed have multiple cores, they didn't have core management, but Intel CPUs did. That basically meant that for more heavy tasks, Intel CPUs could split the tasks...

    Comment by 'ThoD' in 'this is what a stack 140 i5 i7 and xeons looks like'

    @Silent_Gunner I keep hearing people accuse Bulldozer CPUs of being bad, yet I never understood why, they have REALLY good performance, can be overclocked to like 180% without issues if you have a good cooler, fairly low TDP so they are efficient as well and generally great, with only two...

    Comment by 'ThoD' in 'this is what a stack 140 i5 i7 and xeons looks like'

    @Silent_Gunner Using multi-CPU motherboards works roughly the same as having servers work parallel to one another, only with less space needed. Basically, 2 CPUs is around double performance minus ~10% due to various factors, then for 4 it's quadruple but ~25% (not really efficient and guzzles...

    For 300 it's a good deal on paper, in practice though because it's Intel, for most of them you need to find super-specific motherboards for them since between those models they kept changing chipsets and shit over three months or so between processor revisions... On the other hand, if you can...

    Desktop CMOS batteries are a literal joke to replace, doesn't even begin to compare to an old laptop:rofl2:

    Comment by 'ThoD' in 'A BIOS/CMOS battery is a wear part! (rant) [pictures ≈ 300KB]'

    Seriously, why is it such a big deal? Sure, it would be nice if the battery was easily replaceable, but big whoop, only thing it matters for is setting the clock (easily ignored by setting Windows to get the time from the internet automatically), it's not like old laptops have many BIOS settings...

    People are idiots, let's get that out of the way first. As for tolerance, it's not that it has evolved, it's just retards mistaking tolerance for acceptance, those are two COMPLETELY different things! Tolerance means you tolerate something, as in putting up with it, it still...
