I'm glad I kept this 12V PSU after it died. Replacing the output caps fixed it right up 👌 I also replaced some 100 uF 50V cap and checked the mains caps - fortunately, they were okay, as I don't have any in this size

In an era where public trust in medical institutions, regulators, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and public-health policy is under strain, this story provides a counter-narrative: one where evidence, medicine

this made me sad and angry: adding a fan to a closed side of a heatsink - is just fucking stupid 😵💫

some day we will see PICOSATA and PICONVME, and we will feel super old 😭 (and be old 😆)

why even bid on a 128 bit "9800 XT"?

The Radiacode sellers lifted a video from a friend of mine and used it in their advertising without permission or attribution.
Days after hearing I'm still pretty angry about it. They could have at least sent them a free detector, or two, like they seem to with many other internet personalities. :|

Probably the simplest way of getting clean 6V DC from a 2S Li-Ion battery: two 1N4007 diodes in series.
(I got tired of recharging AA batteries every 3-4 hours 😆 and I keep it playing in the background way more than I expected)

My fellow #radiation nerds, join me as we take a closer look at what is one of the most budget friendly scintillators out there, the Better Geiger Radiation Detector S2L! How good is it and is it really better #Geiger 😃

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. I had to heat both halves, and now it freaking works. First, I heated the top half - it got rid of artifacts, but WinXP would restart. Then I heated the bottom, and now it boots and passes 3DMark06 🤯

Added heatsinks to the VRM (as per tradition) and put it in my Shuttle SG31. I also replaced 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 6-6-6-18 with Geil 4-4-4-12 (the motherboard doesn't support DDR2 1066, and I don't want to OC on a 250W PSU😅)

anyway, I really love these Zotac 9800GT cards:
- they are low power and don't need 6pin power
- they are mostly quiet(if fan isn't cracked) and cool
- they are single slot(fit small PCs like Shuttle)
- they have audio input and HDMI output! - you can have hardware EAX audio and video in one cable!
- they are low power and don't need 6pin power
- they are mostly quiet(if fan isn't cracked) and cool

Well, it survived the wash and drying 🫣

Polishing the turd - I added an external power connector, as per tradition, and I'm going to wash and dry the card, put it in my Core 2 Duo Shuttle PC, and see how long it will work 😅

Wtf, I just "fixed" another nvidia card, this shouldn't even be a problem revision of the GPU 🤔😵💫
Same symptoms as with the previous card: no DVI output, artifacts when connected to VGA, works flawlessly after bringing the die up to 100C for a couple of minutes 🫣
