the people working on it want it to be good, but they're constantly recycling and relearning with each new hire

Them and McDonalds are my worst jobs
That and kfc
They’re the worst company I’ve ever worked for. Job was fun tho
My friend who worked as their sole opening backend for 6 days of the week, got fired because he said “god, I hate this job” to another coworker. Then I proceeded to have the same thing done after an 11 hour shift

You won't catch me dead at fastfood
It’s my specialty unfortunately. Tried retail, hated it.
I’ve worked at 5Guys, kfc, OG, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, BK, red lobster, TGI’s, and a few local shops.

Terrible decision
Also, I’m getting fired voluntarily from 5 guys
So, a small section of a gang was sent up here to distribute drugs to the area(lovely), and they went and killed an innocent 15 y/o kid.
That gang’s original area(Philly) caught wind of it, and now they’re retaliating against the people who killed the kid from their gang(a spokesperson said something along the lines of “we have just a few rules, and one of them is you do not f$@k with innocent kids.”)
And now there’s threats around when I work and where the people live who shot the kid

what the heck did I just walk into? lol

'S because cops don't have to actually do the protect part of protect and serve. Why would they want to put themselves in danger, it isn't like they work in a dangerous profession on purpose or anything
Just there so they can get a pass from their buddies to speed when driving around off duty

maybe the cops did it (plot twist?)

not to change the subject here but should I run 4090 with 13900KS or 7900x3d for daily? I can't decide

kinda leaning towards 7900x3d just cuz I'm pretty sure I've done some fairly significant damage to my 13900KS in the last year or so

So? Since when do cops care about duty?
idle nexus
like I have messed with so many voltages ctlvrefup, training algorithms, & other crap & still can't push 8400c36 thru more than 6 iterations of ycruncher

All jobs that are about saving people like lifeguards, firefighters, doctors, etc will put their safety over the victim/patient. It's okay to be angry at the various issues with cop laws, but also be realistic.
idle nexus
CPU not installed, no M.2s, but uh, I did put the water block modules on the memory at least? lol

even when it seems to work, retraining is borked

Oh no, this has little to do with their own safety period. The law of the land has been for about 40 years that cops have no duty to specifically protect the public period. And on top of that, anything they do is covered by qualified immunity if they just follow their PD's policies to squeeze around the law

Depends. They can justify it and get the action protected if they word their reasoning correctly
idle nexus
I saw some video he did where like the way the x3d is glued makes it hit the frame in a bad way or something
I dunno. I want those thermals but delidding makes things so complicated
I liked delidding until I dealt with this stupid useless paperweight
nocturne flicker
The reason lawsuits succeed when those occur is if they either have a sympathetic jury/judge or the cop's actions are too illegal for justification
But most of them will go by unnoticed or unchallenged
idle nexus
& that's AFTER EK sent me replacement parts to "fix" it
I get better thermals with a heatkiller iv pro with the IHS still on than with the direct die EK junk
Jay thinks 7200mt/s memory & 4800mt/s memory are the same cuz it didn't raise his Port Royal score. can't stand that dude lol

send me it
idle nexus
which btw is in no way a criticism of you

Jay has no idea what he’s talking half the time whenever OC comes up
idle nexus
I would delid & relid it but the IHS is so open & goofy I'm worried it'd drip LM or something

it's so thin on my 4090 block I had to reduce the stonk pads from 1mm to .5mm cuz my hotspot temp hit 116C lol

rough zinc
What’s the delta?
idle nexus
eh let me run TimeSpy Extreme rn so I can give you exact numbers
was just messing with it rn anyway lol
hating my 13900KS in the process
rough zinc
I don’t remember mine exactly but it was only around 10-15C
idle nexus
eh I know it's worse than that

lol GPU hit 546.025W
rough zinc
I still need to mess around with my EVC more
idle nexus
heck that's the board I wanted but Taichi price was lookin a lot nicer
my other dumb problem rn is that I either need to buy a PSU that has 2x ATX3.0 12vhwpr or use this 1600w G+ with EIGHT 6+2s
how the heck am I supposed to hide all that freaking cable
this would be ridiculous in a case
ya those Seasonics are real nice. I think one of them was like $600 or something tho which is wild
There's a Thermaltake GF3 1650w PSU that has 2x 12vhwpr for like $300 but damn
I have a 1200w Platinum TT PSU that'll collect dust if I get another one
idle nexus
What’s the delta?
33.4C delta
oh heck that's a great price. I gotta look into that
oh heck the TT GF3 is $245 rn
so tempting

I have an SN850 1TB I think I'm gonna use for the 7900x3d system if I ever get around to building it & I'll probably take the P41 1TB, SN750 1TB, & 2TB Solidigm thing out of my current daily

How does a DNS block YouTube ads
YouTube ads are hosted on youtube
Pihole doesn't work on YouTube ads either
tranquil pebble
that's not how ads and cookies work
blocking cookies only makes it harder for them to track you
Ads can still load and be displayed
DNS alone won't stop tracking
That's different than blocking just cookies
pliant berry
yeah some vpns can block ads but it's not just because they block cookies. if it were that easy than no one would have trouble blocking ads from youtube
tranquil pebble
lol they actually blocked me for speaking facts
pliant berry
traditional dns blockers like pihole use list of web urls for ads to block completely. That works most of the time but for a site like youtube, they got crafty and started hosting ads on their own domain so you can't block the ads without blocking the whole site. I looked a few months ago but wasn't able to find anyone that found a way to block yt ads with those methods
velvet summit
???? Blocking personalized ads does not mean no ads
It just means non-personalized ads
That is using a VPN and ad blocker, a VPN isn't a dns

For home network I use alternative DNS with no VPN. The third party DNS is far more reliable than my ISP's and I have no reason to use a VPN on my home network.
