I’ve completed my Vulcanus "mega"base (so just 140spm of red, green, blue, purple, and yellow science), and got Gleba to a state I was happy with. I was consistently making agriculture science and the materials to launch a rocket out of it, and had a logistics system in place to expand the base with bots. I even designed a faster, more fuel-efficient space platform specifically to transfer the agriculture science to Nauvis.

Since walls apparently don’t work I had the weird idea of defending my base with artillery, because I haven’t unlocked any other fancy military stuff yet.

I then went to Fulgora and am currently trying to figure out its entire system. Unfortunately the islands are too far apart for the big electric poles to reach, even with rare quality.

Then, out of nowhere, a medium stomper decided to wreck half of my Gleba base, even though the spores never reached any of the nests. It conveniently avoided the few sections with gun turrets like the Pentapod egg breeding section. I frantically tried to destroy it with artillery, but I kept missing until it decided to just walk around in circles next to my yumako mash processing section. After a few hits, it was dead, but so was my Gleba base. It fragmented both my power and my logistics system, so I’ll need to manually go back to Gleba to fix everything.

Same here. It kick-started my hatred of YouTube, and they continued to make poor decision after poor decision.

The 14900ks spiked over 400W in testing: https://www.anandtech.com/show/21378/intel-core-i9-14900ks-review-the-swan-song-of-raptor-lake-with-a-super-fast-6-2-ghz-turbo/3

Replace 50W of fans with 50W to the CPU.

It’ll buy us about 8 more years. At this rate, the TGP is increasing at about 10% per year:

3090: Late 2020, 350W 4090: Late 2022, 450W 5090: Early 2025, 575W

Therefore, around 2037, a single 90-tier GPU will pop a 110V breaker, and by 2045, it will pop a 220V breaker too.

/s

How else are you gonna cool 925W in a PC form factor? Ever seen fans for server racks?

Out of curiosity, how much does this cost with an electrician?

That’s just the GPU with efficient other parts. Now if we do 575W GPU + 350W CPU + 75W RGB fans + 200W monitors + 20% buffer, we are at 1440W, or 12A. Now we’re close to popping a breaker.

This makes me curious: What is the cheapest way to get a breaker that can handle more power? It seems like all the ways I can think of would be many 5090s in cost.

The prices are high, but what really is shocking are the power consumption figures. The 5090 is 575W(!!), while the 5080 is 360W, 5070Ti is 300W, and the 5070 is 250W.

If you are getting one of these, factor in the cost of a better PSU and your electric bill too. We’re getting closer and closer to the limit of power from a US electrical socket.

Wow! I’ll stick to pure vanilla until I beat the game at least.

Of course lol. What kind of mods do you like?

What were you doing in the game with all those hours? 100%'ing it with every race?

I’m playing on survival mode. I don’t want any tips for now, thank you! How do you have so many hours? My most played game (Factorio) is only 800 hours.

How many hours do you have in it? I’m just getting started and I’m barely out of the tutorial, looking for food to survive.

I’m trying something new to me: Skyrim.

Gaming battlestation, with room for some work stuff too.

More like $126, if you know what I mean

I don’t care that enhanced Bitrate is premium only. I do care that you still need to click “advanced resolution settings” to access this even for premium users on mobile.

The first point rings true, but the other points seem like cherry picking.

• Unreliability: https://www.kbb.com/car-news/consumer-reports-subaru-lexus-make-the-most-reliable-cars/ Tesla is below average on reliability, but unreliable Mainstays like Jeep still are lower. Other lists put Tesla in the middle of the pack, Cybertruck nonwithstanding. Still not great.

• Fatal accident rate: This comment explains why: “As for fatalities, neither the article nor the comments I’ve seen so far have raised the obvious points of mis-use or over-reliance on automated driving systems or the shock (as in a famous case in Texas a couple of years ago) of an inexperienced driver given access to, let’s say a Model S Plaid, stepping on the accelerator and being thrown back against the seat and into a state of shock such that the foot remains pressed on the accelerator while the car runs off the road.”

• Spying: Unfortunately, every single brand spies on you and your driving, as shown in https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/
