More or less yeah. I've been slowly migrating accounts over.

I'm already most of the way out of the google ecosystem with Graphene and alternatives, only thing left is authenticator (for work) and maps. If i EVER see Lake of America on google maps, i will be deleting my google account and never coming back.

I am fully aware. But I live on the north shore of lake Ontario so it would be a bit more personal.

I discovered Lemmy last week. Lurked for a while, then finally created an account. The experience is much better than Reddit so I say good riddance.

I build mini PC's for fun. This is my main rig

Case: Raven RVZ02, CPU Ryzen 7800X3D, GPU RTX 3080

Edit

This was about 4 years ago. This is the system I sharpened my teeth on. Had to modify the 3080 to fit with a fan mod.

Yeah man, had to cut out about 10x20mm of steel to fit the AIO tank. A minor modification. Good news: You only have to remove the PSU to upgrade NVME, CPU & Memory. I suspect when this AI bubble pops, i'll drop 64GB @4000Mhz, and a Ryzen 5600G in it. wishful thinking...

It was $540. But admittedly, the ram came before the AI apocalypse. So it's probably closer to $700 now. All off ebay, except the case & PSU.

Missed you comment on the performance difference to the steambox. It's bad. The 4650G isn't great. Played deep rock galactic at maybe 45 FPS.

I haven't done benchmarks, but it's about the speed of a GTX 1650, but being AMD it works much better on Bazzite (Linux)

double edit

I have about 10 nvme drives of varying sizes from before. The 1TB drive cost me $70 (about $78 after tax) before the shitstorm.

Know how to piss off a conservative neighbour? Tell them you're renovating your bathroom and making it gender neutral. Wait for their reaction.

Hey I got a huge system too. Gotta run my Jellyfin off some kind of "server"

Honestly, wait until this rampocalypse ends. This is my last system for some time, because the memory alone was more than the cost of any other part.

Nice! How'd you cram your hardware in there? I had so much trouble.

I criticized ICE, and about 12 hours later I was met with a "Blocked by network security" page. The only option was to appeal to support, who wanted an explanation. I could still access my user settings so I went straight to the account deletion option.

It's what I had on hand at the time.

I installed a local Jellyfin server pointed to my media, and just connect to 127.0.0.1:8096 in the browser or app. Jellyfin is a crazy good media player.

Oh, wait... 3060 died, how? Sometimes it's fixable if you have a flow station.

2060 6GB? Hey it'll play most things. I have an RX580 kickin around here, and another SG-13 case. I might do another one if I can find an ITX board which takes ddr4 sodimm memory. It's the only memory I have left from an dead laptop.

Those fans actually dropped the temperature a bit, even in a traditional case. They are noctua's thin fans.

I don't have this 3080 any longer, went to a 9070XT.

Aww thanks!

Yeah his old PC was a Haswell era quad core with a 1660ti. Being AM4 socket, he can go up to a 5700G in the future, or change the cooler and put in a discreet video card.

Is that the Node202 case?
