This is the same thing that happened with Mad Cow, Big Meat bought out the Government, and 90% of US beef is NOT-TESTED for mad-cow disease. This is an ongoing problem.
Profits are more important than you know, Bird Flu, and this is H5N1 we're talking about, yea that H5N1, with 60% fatality in human infections.
People can't freakn' count, heading off a major pandemic might cost $Billions, COVID cost $Trillions

They said they sent order this week, but nothing was sent to the carrier yet
Actually, you can ask any customer. Except for the GB Mirror98, all remaining orders have been shipped within the one-week timeframe agreed upon in the previous Reddit post

« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 09 May 2024, 07:33:20 »To follow up, CT scans showed no major spreads, but then after another few weeks of waiting, my doctor had a consilium and they decided I need one more surgery. They want to go back to same area and get rid of all tissue around plus all lymph nodes, which there is like a huge network of.
So yeah, middle of June another operation and another few weeks of recovery if it goes well...
Wondering why they did not do that during first surgery, why introduce another risky time of 3 hours of surgery...
I just feel tired of all this...

Keyboards / Re: Is someone here, who quit the hobby and is only lurking now?
« Last post by phinix on Thu, 09 May 2024, 07:07:32 »I did not quit, but last year decided to reduce my collection, sold most of my keyboards and keycaps sets, left just 4 boards and maybe 7-8 sets of keycaps.
I simply felt overwelmed and kinda exhausted of constant chasing better keyboard.
I realised that biggest issue I've been having are stabilisers in all custom kits I had. After over 10 years of modding and building keyboards I ended up being unable to properly lube those ****ers... I dont know what I've been doing wrong but after some time every stab started to scratch again and I simply was too tired to do something with it. Such a simple thing put me off the entire hobby...
Anyway, I kept my favourite boards - Realforce r1 87u55 and CM Quickfire Rapid with MX Blacks. Those are for me personally immportal boards that will stay with me to the rest of my life. Other two are custom kits.
Stayed in our forum, of course mostly for chatting with tp
and keeping in touch with our community - 90% of the time stying in Off Topic, but always read all other bits and keeping myself up to date with everything keyboards related

« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 09 May 2024, 06:39:58 »What if the seal blocks the primary vent?
This is why I call B.S. on all of these unless built by the laptop manufacturer.
The seal is about the right size for most vents. But they make slightly smaller/ slightly bigger versions to accommodate different sized laptops. There's a nother brand (IETS) that has removable staged seals to make the opening slightly bigger/ smaller.
The 1 thing Tp4 is cautious about is that the seals are memory foam, and these don't hold up well to heat. Wonder how durable they are.
And of course, these coolers are ridiculously overpriced. $50 would imho be pushing it. $30 and it's a deal. $100, is crazy town.
It creates a pressurized chamber beneath the laptop compared to traditional fans. So the airflow is now unidirectional, and it also cools the whole board like where the ssd is.
In Tp4's g5, the ssd gets pretty hot 61*C, with the cooler going, it goes down to 44*C. CPU/GPU Minus 10*C each.
