    FCC bans sale of some foreign-made routers in the US

    I've heard of people using USB file sharing on their router to make the crappiest of free temu nases; but the gap between people too tech illiterate to set that up and those who'd go for a Proper Solution (tm) of some sort (similar but with an rPi, repurposed desktop, box from Synology, etc) is...

    Noctua entering the AIO business

    I'm surprised they couldn't find poop brown tubing and paint for the radiator. Gotta make it as organic as possible to stay on brand. 🤮

    Of course it's a grift. It's always a grift even if there is a plausible excuse behind it.

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    ...5 years, so just in time for the DRAM super cycle to peak and DDR6 transition to reach the mainstream phase.

    How One Tech Company Created 13 New Types of Jobs Because of A.I.

    So they took all their existing tech roles, slapped AI in front of them, and somehow convinced NYT this was news worthy? How embarrassing, that level of drek is on par with WCCFTech's comments.

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Only worth it if they bump the voltage up. And at that point they can go back to a 6/8 pin style molex again because the amperage will be back in the safe zone again.

    How long should I let my PSU dry before trying to turn it on?

    Without opening it, I'd need a bucket to dunk it in to be sure I got it in all the nooks and cranies.

    Koolance QD3 fittings stuck open

    I assume they're mostly old businesses, get most sales via long standing face to face deals They only grudgingly have a website because they feel they have to and view selling one item to you or I for $100 as a distraction from selling 50k for $1m; but will take our money if we agree to enough...

    Koolance QD3 fittings stuck open

    While "create an account to see our prices" isn't quite as bad as "call a $alesdrone for a cu$tom quote" it sends a strong signal of being too expensive for my budget.

    Koolance QD3 fittings stuck open

    No idea. I didn't have enough water left to completely drain and refill the reservoir today. Since this problem isn't affecting normal use i just left it to be worried about when i put different fittings on the pump next week.

    Koolance QD3 fittings stuck open

    I believe the internal connection is metal on metal. I can't find really clear pictures online, and for obvious reasons don't want to break my loop now to double check. I've only ever ran distilled water; but did have an - unnoticed until disassembly - problem with debris being pushed through...

    Koolance QD3 fittings stuck open

    Both of my (used in my old build) female QD3 quick release fittings are stuck open - meaning the minimal spill functionality isn't working leading to one minor disaster already due to water spilling freely out of them. Fortunately(?), both are attached to a part of my loop I'm going to have to...

    How long should I let my PSU dry before trying to turn it on?

    Ok, the PSU probably will be on standby for a week or more then. I figured it'd probably end up being something like this; but figured I should check to make sure I was being appropriately paranoid. I'm trying to get my new/upgraded (replaced almost everything but my radiator and GPU) system...

    How long should I let my PSU dry before trying to turn it on?

    I had an accident while working on my water cooling loop and splashed a small amount of water over the intake fan side of my new PSU. I've dried the exterior, and used a can of compressed air to blow out as much of what got inside as I could. I'm planning to leave my loop running in leak test...
