rebrand is fine, i just hope they arent recycling used chips from used SSDs that have life left in them.

seems fine from CDI stats, but yeah those can be manipulated.

well, never been a fan of UPS. I mean you have a proper inverter and decent psu it's kinda unnecessary. When i had VS450 orange label back in the day my pc used to restart randomly and even with UPS but ever since i got a decent psu never even once i saw my pc shutting off due to fluctuation or during power cuts.

the inverter doesnt work and the owner doesnt want to fix it

.

hence the UPS. The power cuts here arent bad. it goes of frandomly for 5min or so. i am gettingmoer than 45 mins on work load, gaming load yet to be tested

is there any software or tool that they support to check ? i mean for gaming these make a good choice. i wouldnt keep any important data on non-reputed drives to be honest. and even then one should keep copies.

i guess no, just like they don't provide firmware updates.

Wait, just checked the parent company site (KLEVV), firmware update page shows not found error and ssd tool only shows my previously bought 128gb drive summary, other sections in the app don't open and other sections of the main page are blank as well.

That is very recent TLC. Older TLC and QLC wouldn't be that high.

I doubt that's happening with this brand, though anything is possible.

Getting a new Wheel. Moza FSR2. It mimics the BMW Hypercar and the Caddy I think. I don't care though. This was half what some other Companies charge for Wheels. I bought it from a site that has Free shipping but the manufacturer wanted $70 for shipping from the EU. Yep that is a touchscreen display.

Just an update that I finally got a tracking number for this. Hopefully by Saturday I will be at Fuji trying this with the LMDH BMW

Some bike tech: my first ever helmet, ain't a cheap sucker too....at ~€100 or so. The BTWIN CBH900 sold at EU Decathlon's shops.

Never wore one before, cause I am a simple around town/cross country dude, but last summer had a close call and I also got myself a pair of roller skates....so may be it's not such a bad idea.

A whole lot of pine rosin (colophony) with which to make flux by adding 91% isopropyl alcohol.

If you will allow the intrusion. Take a half hour to reassess if this fits the shape of your head and to do so if it does. They are overpriced styrofoam coolers with a name brand that need to fit perfectly in order to function.

Paid to a friend for some watercooling stuff, I hope that the package arrives early on next week to me

Also paid the postage costs for one Thinkpad with a dualcore i5, that would be a dope shitposting machine when I'm not on my desktop PC.

I'm more a 2k man. ;D

Just wondering that what platform I'd build for that, Socket A Athlon with GF 6800 Ultra, maaaaybe?

edit: I could go with Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA and Phenom II 955 BE, but does NF3 have 2k drivers?

Most XP drivers "should" be compatible with 2k as they are effectively the same.

Mh, yeah, most likely since XP is practically "2k for the masses" or something. Though I've always liked 2K more...

The Beyerdynamic MMX 200 Wireless fits a lot better than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50XBT2, no head-crushing & no oven-hot ears. Pity.
