Loved that game as a kid! Its called “Die Völker” in germany, meaning “The People”.

At the beginning of January, I bought the ThermalGrizzly Wireview Pro II to safeguard my worries for my 5090 PC rig. It got delivered to me last Saturday and has been working very well so far for me. This device monitors the per pin current of your power connector, comes with temperature sensors and even has a cable that can be hooked to your PC power switch so the device will automatically safeguard and shutdown your PC if it detects current instability for a certain amount of time. Very customisable.
It’s a real shame that NVIDIA are continuing to choose to not yet introduce active amperage load balancing for the wires, introducing safer dual power connectors liked with their 30-series cards and instead we have had a number of increasing cases with the 40 and 50 series GPUs especially at the high end where cables melt and in some cases, become melted to the port so the GPU could potentially get ruined! Some 5080s and some 9070XTs are reported to have been affected too.
@scat1620 I know you have a 5090 rig so I was curious if you were considering to buy this device/what are your thoughts on the 12VHPWR connector debacle? Some have said it’s overstated and statistically it most likely is, but that’s based on guesstimations of how many 4090/5090’s have been sold without any melting issue. The sort of information that we’d never publicly get.
For the fellow tech enthusiasts on here who keep up to date with PC hardware news, it’s one of the most bleakest times I’ve seen for a long time, if ever!

Didn’t build my PC, I’m afraid, it was built by an SI so if I run into problems with it I’m going back to them.

I know the UPS is bigger, but I think it’s much more effective. The good one course.
Either way, congratulations with the newcomer

Got the GoodSmile Nendoroid of Solid Snake! Just a little over the equivalent of 100 USD, at 2000 MXN pesos. Not really into the Chibi style but the low polygons face accesory convinced me of the purchase.

Gotta respect that they included the Famas! 
A SOCOM would’ve been the classic, but it might have licensing issues

Picked up our new fully electric SUV yesterday. It came installed with it’s winter tires. Looking forward to the summer tires with alloy wheels.
It’s been a awesome upgrade from our small Toyota and with Oil prices rising, it came at the perfect time.

So would you say that change was simply clever?

As Clever as a car purchase can ever be, which is also just a bottomless pit you throw money in. It’s still cheaper then our old small car with gas prices. But what is Clever, is the company that delivers our power to our car and house. It’s called Clever.

Well it is nice to know that the Old World also has their own version of the “Simply clever” stuff. I think Skoda outlets here name their payment schemes like that. Clever, Simply Clever and the like but I wouldn’t know, I drive a KIA compact.

Clever is just a newer Danish electricity provider from 2018, it’s not affiliated with Skoda. However a lot of Car dealerships have campaigns with Clever. Buying a new EV, you get a free installation of a charging box and 1 year of free power to the car. Both at home and on the go.
Clever got the largest network of charging stations around Danmark .

Oh… Well that is pretty ironic because in my country the Skoda slogan is “Simply clever.”
I wish my country had a robust EV grid, and a good EV culture and an EV manufacturing industry. At this point I would take my country making Internal Combustion vehicles again.

I believe it’s the same internationally.
In Scandinavia EV’s really taken off, I’m unsure about Sweden. Yet both Norway and Denmark, the majority of new cars bought is fully electric.
However it’s not the same in Germany and other European countries.

Congratulations on the new car!

Thanks, the sad part is that I barely get to use it. My better half will mainly use it for her commute to work. I live 5 min away from my work on bike.
But I’ll take every opportunity I get to drive it.

Alan Wake novelization. I am disappointed that it isn’t called Departure, with Alan Wake as the author
