it's real and if it didn't already look dystopian enough, everything is oil themed for some fucking reason.

I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn't finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.

I have torx all over my mountain bike that gets caked in dirt, a little bit of water and a pick gets them usable in seconds. I could argue that hex is superior to square but they're both worse than torx so who really cares.

I'm not a snob, I'll spark up with the homies from time to time, but my god are flower vapes far superior to burning. I will never go back to smoking as my main, it's just worse in almost every way.

I don't care how crazy they look, my funky doohickeys keep my taste buds and lungs safe.

Snakes don't suffocate prey by stopping their breathing, they stop the blood flow to the brain. A retic can kill a person without even trying, that much muscle around your neck might leave you a few seconds before you're unconscious.

Well, if you're looking at Tdie/edge temps it's pretty unavoidable to see 80-90c on modern cards, at least if they're air cooled. I think amd has a 20-30c delta between Tdie and average 'gpu' temp, nvidia is around 20c? Either way, even with a perfect paste application you can set your target temp to 70c and still get some nasty looking temp spikes.
Thermal protection is way faster than software can report, unless you're overclocking it's really not something to worry about imo.

Good lord, reading some of the comments on this article made me lose braincells. Musk sure is owning the marxist libs with these fucking leaky refrigerators on wheels.

Idk, something just irks the hell out of me when people are like "50% battery is actually good bro, it's the perfect storage level for lithium bro". It's not in storage anymore, it's being delivered.

ICE cars are shipped with a quarter tank or less, but they are never delivered without close to a full tank. The fact that the Tesla dealer didn't spend the $1 of electricity or the half hour washing it down is just plain rude. And yet, people are still defending this shit as if being abused by big daddy musk is their life's greatest goal. Absolutely mind boggling.

So, it's about time to replace this derailleur, it's served me well but honestly the problems never really stopped with GX eagle.

I just don't know which route to take, since I run a helix cassette I could possibly jump to Shimano deoreXT for about $130 while keeping the SRAM chain. It should be compatible, but concrete information is sparce when mixing so many brands.

Even less information is available about the other option, LTWOO TX. Apparently for $50 shipped I can get a 12 speed shifter and derailleur. Every bike shop guy will tell you to steer clear of LTWOO but the stuff I've seen in person felt good quality. I can't find any food reviews on the TX group and even aliexpress shows maybe a dozen orders between multiple vendors. Really my biggest gripe with them is that spare parts seem to be impossible to find, everything seems to be disposable instead of rebuildable.

As far as I can tell there's no ultra reliable mechanical 12speed. Shimano is probably the best I can afford, but the mismatched parts are likely to lead to issues. LTWOO would save me enough to upgrade my brakes but I have no idea if it's just going to be a pain in the ass or actually usable. Honestly I really don't want to buy another eagle derailleur. From day 1 I've had nonstop issues, yet it's the option that makes the most sense to me.

If anyone has real experience with 12 speed outside of the usual setups your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the ramble.

TLDR:

  1. Just replace the derailleur ($100)
  2. Upgrade to Shimano ($130)
  3. (Maybe) downgrade To LTWOO ($50)

What?

Doug Demuro goes over every single weird little feature in the cars he covers. What does he not fully understand? But I also don't conder his videos true reviews, I'm not in the market for 90% of the cars he shows, and I doubt many people are. It's entertainment, and for car enthusiasts it's fun to see a breakdown of a cool car.

As for MKBHD, I would say his smartphone reviews are some of the only ones worth watching on YT. He uses them for weeks as his main device and I've never seen him shy away from speaking his mind. Again, he's an enthusiast and his nitpicks are probably irrelevant to a lot of users. But that's exactly why I like his reviews, it's a different perspective that I wouldn't get anywhere else. Low quality? My brother MKBHD puts more effort into his b-roll shots than most channel put into the entire review.

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but reviewing anything boils down to "how many things can I find wrong about this product". If I want all the gushy features and crap I would just watch the press release.

If you have an amp: Modhouse Argons. The Fostex t50rp is built like a tank, and while it's not the most resolving planar in the world the sound signature is just a ton of fun. I've had various t50rp mods for 15+ years, none of them have broken and the argons are in my top 3 of all time. But they really do drink about 1 watt per channel, so if you're not already in the deep end, just avoid jumping in altogether.

No amp: KSC75/porta pros are pretty bassy, they just lack sub bass. Plenty of impact though, and for most music it's all you really need. Pick youself up an $10 apple dongle (apple sucks but their dongle dac is legitimately a great value) and you have about 90% of what an audiophile spent thousands to achieve.

Another no-amp option could be Monoproce retro headphones. It's sort of like an akg 240 clone but fully closed. The stock pads are terrible, but with some xl leather pads they become very comfortable and super bassy. The pads and cans are like $25 each; it's a pretty unbeatable value. But they are also a bit of a one trick pony, if you're looking to daily drive something the akg K371 would be a better rounded option.

Goddammit 🤦‍♂️

Honestly it's still an absolute pain in the ass but it's come a very long time since those dark ages.

For my last build I bit the bullet and got a leakshield from aquacomputer. It keeps negative pressure in the loop so if there is a leak, it sucks air back into the tubing instead of letting water out. It works like a charm, it's just too damn expensive to recommend for non-workatation rigs.

But I can pull 1000w from the wall and still have my system under 30db, so that's nice.

I'd bet my bottom dollar a reddit LLM is being worked on too. They won't stop milking their communities until the end.
