Yeah I assume it's just what happens to any open port these days. So should I try a lower port number, or would it not be accessible remotely?

I watched Opening Night (1977) and it's a rare perfect film. It's like stepping through a mirror into another universe.

It's one of Joan Blondell's last roles, and I was happy to see how my fav '30s gold digger turned out. Unbelievable cast and performances. youtu.be/eRZZAvWIBAo

Yes, I got a few of those for retro PC use and put one on the GPU in my Win98 laptop. It seems to work but I do worry about it slipping out and causing havoc.

Yes, I'm using it in everything now. I was thinking of using it in my GPU too.

It's crazy because practically everyone building modern PCs goes out of their way to ensure they have SK Hynix RAM in their sticks for reaching the advertised DDR5 speeds.

I thought everyone says Hynix is the best?

I'm unhappy with the Shure SM7B so I'm putting my tube mic back into action.

That's definitely the problem if I had to guess, great catch. Normally you could just straighten them out, but the bottom one is torn from its pad. Any good console modder should be able to fix it for you easily though.
