I do wonder how people deal with chemical waste disposal at this scale.

Depends country to country, but in mine is diffucult. The most resistance I meed is expired medicines, bulbs, paint and stuff like this that doesn't really fit in other major categories. I've been battling for years with this.

Resin is chemical waste? Why should i pay 309€ in this case for 20 Bottles worth over 700€? It seems that you don't know what Resin is good for.

1. Resin gets hgard when placed in infraredlight with a wavelength of 405nm. Light with that wavelength is part of normal sun light. If it would be chemical waste i would just place anywhere opened and wait to have it gard and so normal plastic waste.
2. Resin is needed for 3D printing. More exactly for SLA 3D Printing. One can design his own models. Then he can print this models on a SLA-Printer. With this material the result has similar physical parameters like ABS plastics.
3. Other printing material is also used at dentists and also surgeries. One can use that material at cars or jewlery...

Thiis resin is not waste but raw material. In my case i will print a lamp for my working desk, parts for my new rig,...

I mean, if you're flushing resins down the drain that can't be really good for the environment, right?

<pedant> At 405nm, you're talking about ultraviolet light, not infrared. </pedant>
Infrared is in the 700-1000nm range.

You're right.

Why should somebody? Just let it stand in sunlight for a certain time and it is normal plastic waste. It's made of corn. If one dig it into the garden and has defined environmental parameters it decomposes.

Bought a pair of 16GB DDR4 3200MHz laptop RAM for my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16" laptop, figured since both my desktop rigs are equipped with 2x 16GB RAM, I might as well follow thru with my laptop as well.

The RMA new 13600KF arrived yesterday. I wonder if this one will do 5.7GHz and run reasonably cool like the last one did before it started acting really strange. It should offer a decent performance increase over the 12600k that's a temporary placeholder.

Cheapest to my knowledge brand new 120 mill AIO....Iwan..something can't be bothered to remember the name:

How much: €29 in cart, but €31 at checkout from Aliexpress. (link is NOT affiliate)

"Wait..what...did he say 120 AIO?!, BUT BUT it's pointless!
Nobody does that in 2024!
120 AIO's suck!
You could've bought the ID-cooling IS-55X for the same cash! The new king in low profile cooling!"

Ok Ok chill

I was the third TPU owner of that 13600KF. Space Lynx had it first then ShrimpBrime bought it. I got it from him. It worked great at 5.6-5.7GHz in an ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi. Then I got a 14700K for the Z790 and put the 13600KF into a Z690 Steel Legend. No matter what BIOS I tried it wouldn't work correctly. I dropped a 12600K I had on hand in and it worked fine. I then RMA'd the CPU. They must have found something wrong with it because they sent me a new one. The 14700K does well at 5.8-5.9GHz. I usually run it at 5.8. For cooling both rigs have an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280. All run Silverstone 140mm FHP-141 V2's in push/pull at full speed and externally mounted. 171cfm each for the fans.

BTW I also have that same toothbrush. Works fine.

My current mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy Xcover pro) has randomly problems with switching on/starting or just don't give a display. So I thought I is a good excuse to buy a new mobile phone.

Soon the 5G network here is improving in speed, so hopefully with this phone I can enjoy it.

GamerGuy · Jul 4, 2024

As I'd mentioned a few posts back, here's a pics of my recent purchases:
1. Oakley spectacle frame + Transitions and progressive lenses
2. Stickers to cover the shine from my worn out Logitech G703
3. The 2x 16GB DDR4 3200MHz laptop RAM (which have already been swapped out)

dont know about your place but A5x are quite expensive here. I have always been an adopter of the A5x or A7x series, but this time around it made more sense to buy the -1 gen of the S series instead. I got a good disc on my credit card.

may i suggest trying essilor/crizal lenses. Those lenses are thick af. I get the high index ones and my lenses are quite normal size. Whats more is they can match any difference b/w eyes so both lenses are the same thickness

(i have widly different powers)

Got it on a real good deal (European football Championship ⚽️ sales action).
It is the A55 G5 256Gb version for € 216 in combination with a new 2 year subscription.

I personally think that it's a good deal for a top end mid tier mobile phone. I don't need a flagship model as I don't game on it and don't use the AI functionality.

A reasonable SOC, good screen and little over average battery life is sufficient to fulfill my mobile needs

yesterday, i spent 5 mins trying to pick something off that dark plastic where are printed GEFORCE and ASUS but nothing...
its just a shiny plastic so that the lettering can glue better to it... i swear there's no stickers there LOL

My left eyes is >900 degrees, right eye is 800+, with high astigmatism. I chose these lenses as they were cost effective, though that does not men they were cheap. I'm not willing to pay 50% more just for thinner lens.

The GT Omega rear seat ~~mount~~ frame and RS6 seat arrived. Heavy and sturdy stuff. Now I wait for the monitor mount to arrive.

At this point location of the pc is still on debate.

That's not an Audi RS6 seat.

Going to have a fun day tomorrow when I transfer the guts of my rig from the current MSI Sekira 100R into this new Antec C8 case, along with the shiny new RX 7900 XTX. That card is so long, it needs a whole new case for it! Not worried though, this Antec case has better ventilation (up to 9 x 140mm fans) all round anyway, but the acid test will come in Summer when we get those extra hot days & nights & don't want AC on all the time.

I guess it's a CSL DD Ready2Race Bundle, 5Nm or 8Nm? Your opinion on how strong its FFB is? I'm eyeing those for some time now.
