The 4 will be ch3rryflowerjb'd to iOS 4.3.5, to cover iOS 4. My other devices (4S, Mini 1, 5C) cover iOS 5 to 10.

You can do custom keychain business for the fanboys. I see fanboys on subreddits loving that kinda thing with their old CPUs.

Used H97 mobo with modded bios with new Hynix P31 1TB nvme as boot drive @ PCIE 2.0 x2 and my old 4790K for my screw-around second PC.

Old motherboard? I fucking hate my dusty city (in the top ten air polluted list).

making something then frame it as art

 

[Fangio1951]

making something then frame it as art

How about a coffee table with the CPU's inlayed in the top and clear epoxy over them ??

 

[Palladium]

making something then frame it as art

I dunno but that's probably like a lot of money left on the table by not exporting it to chinese used CPU vendors

Assuming they even work. LGA processors are pretty robust, but not all damage is physical...

This is why I will not buy phones without user replaceable battery's. With my phone, solving that problem would not involve replacing the phone, but simply swapping out the battery for a new one. BAM! Ready to go! Off and running.


@Durhamranger
You are an awesome person! Very cool indeed!

Looks like it came with RAM too. How much did they send you?

This reminds me of the li-ion starter battery in the Porsche Cayenne that will disable itself via built-in chip DRM below a certain charge level even if the battery itself is still healthy enough to charge externally through normal methods. Because everyone definitely loves rent seeking bullshit!

3090 acceptable, but a 512gb £1460 phone is still overkill, 512gb of music, films, games? no one needs that much phone storage.

I will literally put every show my kid watches on there, along with the entire MCU so that at any time i'm off the grid, i have entertainment for myself or my kid.

Turns out the S22U has 10Gb USB 3.2 gen 2, so it's gunna be one heck of a portable SSD

Wow look at those hot assed X570 boards

But has many more features over B550..

Edit:

Had to make it a thumbnail as it dominated my screen

Edit again I should have just snipped the mobo but I got over exuberant..

You have more cores than me, booo

Those low-ass B550 temps are wonderful, many board makers did absolutely SHIT jobs cooling x570. It's the cooling at fault, not the chipset.

Highlighted T-sensor next to chipset, is a thermal probe in my water loop

Just upgrading...

Despite the difficult financial times, I am not changing my plan, 2x 1TB WD Gold in RAID1.

Is that a 5800X?

 

[Yraggul666]

OH yes it is, thinking of marying it right away, i would like the 5800X3D...i must have the 5800X3D...I WILL HAVE THE 5800X3D.

If this is tech purchase then this its to tech:

Got it cheap: (Disks are still alive)

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I`m hoping its just a glitch, as when I used it last in my media server I had no problems with it, if I remember correct it has 2209 which is the last bios for it....

Didn't like the look of the pins on the 940, so delidded it with my hot air gun Broke some bits off it, but it don't matter. I'll make a keyring out of it. I will check out the ram thing today.
