it will also of course remove overspray if you’re out of lacquer thinner and as a side bonus the fumes will later reveal that the paint shop didn’t prep for top coat what they “fixed” next to what you’re working on.

For one build I made that mistake. I went with SFF partly due to motherboard and RAM shortages and i could barely upgrade it... I won’t do that again. But before that i would start at low to mid spec for components, a mobo and PSU with room to grow, and slowly max them out over time.

However, like i said in another reply it seems like i can repurpose less and less in later builds as tech evolves more rapidly these days and or I run into a wall with bottlenecking something or another even if i can upgrade a component. As a result I’m definitely taking a longer pause this time.

True. I guess it’s not completely purposeless as I’ll reuse and repurpose what i can. But for last build especially I could barely reuse any of it. GPU, increasing power reqs overall and avoiding bottlenecking seem to muck up that strategy the most. If anything i enjoy what feels like a huge leap in performance every time i build one.

I run my boxes for so long I end up having to basically build a whole new rig by the time it is obsolete thanks to socket, RAM and GPU changes. Feels like it almost defeats the purpose of rolling your own. I mostly just use my Steam Deck at this point. Tired of keeping up with all that combined with shortages.

maybe we should just go back to posting the exploits publicly with zero warning. fuck em.

i like when i find myself pre-banned from subreddits I’ve never been in for participating in ones they don’t like. Site is such a joke.

They endlessly tooted their horn about their diversity and fully remote operations. So this is pretty rich.

“This isn’t cost cutting” Oh, fuck off. This is trimming the fat before they try to look for a buyer again.

Stuff like this in the only reason Twitter needs to stay alive.

Fortnight in a nutshell.

There is a very serious local exploit circulating with easy to use PoC that still has not been patched by various distros. So yeah, probably automated.

Sounds like Destiny 2. Saw many of the angry ones leave for Warframe after The Final Shape and they bug out about the same crap.
