Now to be fair, the Switch was a fancy cellphone, but worse

Hopefully someone here knows what I'm talking about and I didn't just make the whole thing up as part of a fever dream.

I recall reading a book several years ago where one of the main plot points was that there was some kind of AI watching and recording humanity across the galaxy, but had been doing it for so much longer than designed that it was starting to break down or run out of storage space or something of that nature. It influenced some guy to head out and start looking for it to help or fix it. I don't remember much else, and all of the search engines just spam me with garbage sponsored AI bait, so I'm hoping someone here might recognize the broad strokes and be able to point me in the right direction.

Lol. The wife wanted something decorative and liked how it looked. Caveat Emptor, and all that I suppose. I knew I was buying from a less-than-quality source

I know this is a meme /c, but for real, I bought this exact same product a while back. If this is your photo, just be careful about what you put on it. Mine lasted 2 months with a grape vine on it before it collapsed.

The Chopin Pro is such a great mITX case. I used one for the exact same build for my wife's pc. It's great for office apps and even for light gaming. It won't win any competitions, but it runs what she plays just fine and is smaller than some textbooks I had in college

I've never before been so glad to read about someone else's misfortune. Mine have been doing this for MONTHS and I thought it was just me imagining things

That's just their idle animation. Supposedly, if they desync, it's like a yo-yo until they catch back up

Much development is being done at public research universities leveraging government grants. Most of what these companies pay for is packaging, marketing, and distribution

I don't know about Subnautica - seems like it might be a little too intense for me. Maybe ABZU? Same underwater theme/vibe as Subnautica without the pants-shitting terror

I feel like this is legitimately more true than a lot of people think. Say what you want about the average end user, but UX is a HUGE driver with regard to adoption and user uptake. You can have the best of everything else in your application, but if the UX sucks, folks just aren't going to use it

I have a very odd issue that I can't solve, perhaps someone here could help. The pipe attached to my main shutoff valve is emitting a soft knocking sound at around 120 beats per minute. The sound persists as long as there is any amount of pressure, and I can feel it in the pipe nearby as well as in the valve handle itself. The weird part is that if I turn on any hot water tap, the noise vanishes. I'm a new homeowner so I don't have much experience, so any help would be appreciated. What I've checked so far:

Drained the system completely and refilled

Turned the water off overnight and checked toilets for leaks

I don't feel the pulse at the water meter line

Turning hot water on anywhere in the house stops the noise.

Thanks in advance!

You fool! What have you done?!

Be careful with the Intel laptop chips and make sure you understand what you're getting. My work laptop has an i7 with 12 "cores" but it's 10 of the low powered e-cores and 2 of the hyperthreaded p- cores, so for heavy applications (like compiling) it's a glorified dual core i3.
