my oldest grandson, who's 10, thinks listen to audio books means he's read a book. >.<

Um... well doesn't it? I guess it depends on what you are meaning by "read". If you mean he put his eyes on text on a page, then no, but if you mean he consumed and knows the content of the book, then yes... and isn't the latter why we "read" a book in the first place? :)

why can't they make thin GaN chargers? like the size of a deck of cards so it doesn't stick out so far out from the wall you trip on the darn thing!

Would also like to start seeing GaN chargers in different form factors. Desktop PSUs for example.

Due to the form factor could produce a SFX sized power supply that has built low wattage 3/5/12V rails that would equate out to about 350W for a baseline. And then have an empty void where you could slide in GaN modules for the power you require. Only need an extra 300W for the GPU slide in the 300W 12v GPU module into the empty void. Suddenly have a 650Wish PSU, need 400W for the GPU instead slide in a different module and you have a 750W.

Seems like this truly module format would be possible with with GaN tech.

Any recommended brands/models? I got a 48" wide one, center drain, from MAAX that has a crack around the drain now. Doesn't look like it goes all the way through, but still, I'm guessing some water is leaking. Happens to be right where you stand mostly too.

It's from 2018 and was sort of a combo for the U-TILE system, alcove install. I guess it might be under warranty, but I ordered it from Lowe's for pickup and seemingly they didn't email any receipt and obviously their website is gone now.

it's not the same as reading a book...that's listening to a book. and the issue here is that if he doesn't 'read' books, rather than listen, he's not going to learn how to read properly!

Asus is working on releasing some GaN PSU!

Asus shows of their GaN PSU

yep, Gallium Nitride is finally coming to the power supply! https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/power-supplies/asus-shows-off-gan-psus-at-gamescom-2024-touts-benefits-of-increased-efficiency-cooler-and-quieter-operation

I had even responded in that thread but forgot about it ...
 
Stupid bleeping neighbor kids.

Look not going to start a debate or anything like that but we have been here for like 12-13 years and have generally had no issues with the various families in our complex. But this past year we have had an influx of people move into a few townhouses and well lets just say we are getting prepared to move next year.

And along with many various problems the one that bugs the crap out of me is these damn kids like to open our back fence. It is right along a pathway so they will just pop it open and continue on walking. I know it isn't the end of the world or anything but it is my backyard, you don't open the f'ing gate!!!!

I guess I was just raised to respect someone's property.



TL;DR Leave my damn gate alone kids!!
 
dose not windows 11 have program compatibility like older windows did where you could right click on a program and say run as Windows 10 or Windows 7 ?
I am asking because trying to play Ark Survivor Ascended aberration map and it won't load ( still crashes ) without it only in dx11 which looks not good also again still crashes every 3 minutes if i don't put that in it won't even load the map so I wanted to try the compatability thing

If it's the standard latch, a bolt and nut through the lock hole. Takes 3 seconds to undo from your side.

they aren't thinking that say a child could be in the back yard and wander off, or a pet can wander off or in , I do find it strange for someone just open a gate that to me is strange
