I've never actually had a battery fail on me. The worst I've had was a bit of a pillow in an old walkie-talkie that was once left out in the sun

The trailer was right there, I would’ve hooked it up and got it out of there while the truck was right there

Perhaps it’s time to switch to team red? Those battery’s don’t spontaneously combust

Yes, they are. Take it from a guy who is into hobby grade Remote control cars

Mmmm all cuz of a battery

The pain must be immense

What happenned after the fire?

#

Did you like sue the battery company

minor crag

The battery was outside, probably popped with the heat so its user error :/

#

We can’t truly blame the battery we have no evidence of it technically

But we were found no fault for the fire and got our max payout the insurance covers

fading marsh
#

yeah it kind of does and I've never used it before I think xD

#

I also have some good news from myself: I sent in my CPU for replacement because when building my first PC back in may, I dropped the CPU into the socket from like 2mm above the socket and it bent a few pins that I later identified as RAM pins. My dad and I looked at it and he said it was fine to put the CPU in. It did work, but over the next two months, my RAM died twice, so I sent the motherboard in for replacement. Got a new, better board while I was waiting for my board and used my PC normally (also OC'ed my 12700K to 5GHz all-core and had the RAM at 6000 (XMP/EXPO profile is officially 5600, but I turned that back down to the stock 5600 again). A few weeks later, my RAM died yet again despite having a known good socket. I really hope that I can now go on without killing more RAM. I got the CPU today, that's the good thing

Yo, you have a Zephyrus Duo? I like that. I have an ASUS laptop myself and it's served me very well over the last three years, but it's starting to show the age of 16 series GPUs as I have to adjust many settings to get above 100FPS

fading marsh
#

I have the 2020 model ROG Strix G17 with an i7-10750H, 32GB of RAM (16GB originally), and a GTX 1660Ti 6GB 115W TGP

#

At around 12-13°C ambient temperature, the cooling system can dissipate around 155W of total power, at 23°C that falls to around 130W

#

What does your laptop have in it?

#

I don't like that the battery of mine is only 66 Wh. There's a second m.2 slot that faces towards you that prevents the battery from being physically bigger, so it only lasts for around 5h of Video playback and around 2h of light and 1h of heavy gaming lol

lime ermine
#

a lot of gaming laptops will only work at peak performance plugged in anyway

flint garnet
fading marsh
#

Damn, so you have the latest one then

flint garnet
#

Yeah

#

Just ordered it a few month ago after my house fire

fading marsh
#

It feels so slow on battery due to that. I wish it would behave more like a U-class chip that boosts for a short time and then goes back to base clock

That sucks man 😔

i have the 13700k rn and now the 14700k came, shouldi upgrade

also @flint garnet when the stream

They’re literally exactly the same

14th gen is basiclly 11th gen 2.0

#

oh shit all they did is boost the clock to 5.4 to 5.6 and 2 threads

#

wtf

#

its like they are downgrading lmao

#

looks like inel just releasing anything at this point

#

damn

#

i guess we wait for 15 gen or amd

lime ermine
#

watched Jayztwocents’s video about it a while ago and he said it’s absolutely not worth upgrading from 13th gen, especially comparing the i7 or i9

vagrant ore
#

yeah

#

15 gen is probably upgrade time

#

by then hopefully we have leaks of the 6090

#

or even the 9000 and series

#

😂

lime ermine
#

Should have been 13X50 instead of 14th gen, but marketing

vagrant ore
#

bro this is literally a downgrade

#

prove me wrong

#

💀

lime ermine
#

The wattage is not intel

vagrant ore
#

mb i merant power consumption

#

mb mb mb

lime ermine
#

It’s motherboard bios’s giving way too much voltage and making the power usage way too high

rapid violet
#

there literally is zero reason to get 14th gen

lime ermine
#

Yes

rapid violet
#

because even if your not on 13th just gen 13th gen cus its cheaper now that 14th it out

lime ermine
#

And you can oc it so easily anyway xD

rapid violet

yeah

#

who is buying a 13900k or ks and not ocing it

lime ermine
#

have you heard about how bad 14th gen is at oc

its apparently terrible

You had some pretty serious water damage, right?

Mine was the opposite lol

all because of one battery that failed

flint garnet
fading marsh
#

I didn't actually. That's interesting

flint garnet
#

Not power tools in general CORDLESS power tools

fading marsh
#

yeah, I got what you meant

#

I also have some problems with my PC, likely the power supply's faulty because as you might already know, my RAM died four times in the exact same fashion: the stick in slot B2 was always the one that failed, except for the first time where both sticks were taken down, but the one in A2 was sort of functional, working only with XMP off. It's been a month now and I still haven't come around to replacing the power supply. I sent beQuiet a RMA request a month ago but haven't done anything for a month now, I kinda feel bad for just ghosting them

flint garnet
fading marsh
#

beQuiet also wanted a written confirmation from the RAM manufacturer that in fact the RAM died because of their power supply, that's the reson I didn't immediately send it out to them (I also have to send it all the way to the north of germany where their RMA center is whereas I am in the top quarter of switzerland

#

I got a spare power supply from the boyfriend of one of my twin sisters that I can use to test, but I also got that a week ago and still haven't done anything with it. I don't know what's wrong with me rn, it feels like I barely get anything done

#

I've also lost some motivation to keep my PC alive, maybe that's why. Because the last few times the RAM died, I pretty quickly got to replacing it

#

I have also considered just selling it for parts and starting over or maybe just getting another laptop, because that has barely ever caused me any issues, and if it did, they were pretty minor and quickly solved

Yes if you get battery's 100% put them in an ammo case

#

@flint garnet I'm into racing drones, the expensive ones and with those we store all the batteries in ammo cases because of how volatile they can be, I've been out flying and one of my dads work mates came in to land and the battery went up smoking luckily we got the battery off before it went up in flames and took the rest of the drone with it, the same apples for tool batteries the rule of thumb is store them in a ammo case or fireproof battery bag, and never charge them while you aren't in the room. I have a grannyflat in my backyard that has been retrofitted as a workshop and we only ever charge batteries while we are in the building

That’s rough man, so sorry to see you had to go through all that

astral bough
#

You can't force me to pay a 20% gratuity fee 😭

#

Like the US just needs to remove tiping from their culture and just pay their employees fairly.

#

And why is asparagus 14 dollars?...

flint garnet

#

I’m actually a tip supporter

flint garnet
#

The guy got another $100 cash tip

astral bough
#

2.33 cents an hour.

astral bough
#

No but I see why the US has tipping, but it wouldn't be a thing if the people who worked there got paid well.

#

Like minimum wage here in Norway is 15 USD an hour I think.

flint garnet

#

That should be a crime to pay someone that little

astral bough
#

And I am pretty sure some places to do that.

naive orbit
#

Where I live 21.80 is the minimum legal amount for someone over 16

flint garnet
naive orbit
#

Although unless you work for a small buissness it’s pretty rare to be on that

flint garnet
#

Were the average tip is 200-300 range a table

#

They make good money

naive orbit
#

Maybe I should quit retail and move there lol

astral bough
#

If they are getting paid 16 bucks an hour, they should not be asking for tips then...

#

I understand that they need to be paid rent and all..

#

But still...

flint garnet
#

16 an hour is minimum wage here

naive orbit
#

I mean… I’m on $32 an hr, and $46 and hr if I do over time but I’ve received not what I would call a tip but donations before

astral bough
#

A work bonus you could say.

#

Unless it came from someone outside of the company.

naive orbit
#

Something like that

astral bough
#

Then it's tip/donation.

naive orbit
#

We will go with donation

astral bough
#

I mean it's just to my european mind that if you are earning 16 an hour you should not be getting tips.

naive orbit
#

Tbf, compared to others in my role I am on the lowest pay rate so the extra is appreciated

astral bough
#

I mean in Norway say for example you work as a waiter right? You get paid the same amount in a country that's more expensive, but you still survive with that salary.

#

And you have some left over at times.

#

A single burger here costs 20.

Our economy is pretty messed up

Like a house here you’re looking atleast 200k upfront and odds are it has mold and water damage

astral bough

My house is aprox worth like 380K to 400k but it's a 2 story house has no damage or anything like that

(My parents house 😭)

Plus the weather here is atrocious, 2 years ago we had to leave our home due to a cyclone, came back to water having been up to the roof

I mean look at what happened to the United healthcare CEO..

He got karma.

#

Quite literally.....

naive orbit

So true

astral bough
#

I mean hey.

flint garnet
#

Idk if i would say someone getting killed is karma. I’ll never be the one to agreed to that.

astral bough
naive orbit
#

It’s not karma and it wasn’t deserved but the company he ran was a complete mess and did refuse many things that could have and did ruin peoples lives

astral bough
#

But uhm, I do see people are praising the killer as a hero.

naive orbit
#

Yeah I wouldn’t look at it as a hero but maybe a change in leadership was necessary

#

Just without death

Ah well, the past is past.

I might get one instead of another mustang

delicate hare

Yeah there is some weird thing going on where they want you to have a portfolio of cars before qualifying to the gt3rs car

All of those houses combined are barely worth 300k, but 2 of them needs renovation and 1 of them should be renovated within 2027 I hope.

I own 2 appartements and am trying to build a house, just need 160K in finance 🤣

astral bough

#

2 of the houses are just really close to eachother.

I mean 300 is a lot hear me out but..

Shits just expensive here.

Norway things are expensive 😅

astral bough

Like for a family of 4 in norway for 1 month you will probably spend 800 on grocceries and what not.

#

HOWEVER.

#

School is free, free healthcare, and many other things

#

So honestly yes things are expensive here and tax is a bit high but other than that I love this country.

#

The weather isn't good but still.

Really good country to live in especialy if you like forests and nature.

If tipping wasent a thing restaurants would just charge 3x the price

i agree that tipping shouldnt be required. its for when the server does an exceptional job and you want to reward them

#

but companies have made it so that workers need to be tipped in order to make enough to live, which is why some people get mad when you dont leave a tip
