An alternative air cooler you can consider is the Deep Cool AK620. It's cheaper than the Noctua NH-D15 and probably a couple of degrees off in cooling efficienct. I have it with my Ryzen 5600 and am very happy with the performnce.
Note that whichever cooler you decide to get, their websites should also have a link for case and ram compatibility. You don't want to end up in a situation where the ram is too tall because of the rgb lights or the case can't be covered up.
Definitely. Now I just occasionally mention that I have and use more privacy friendly alternatives as a sort of "fyi" for them to know. It's better for the other parties to want to switch out of their own desires than to be forced. If it is forced upon them and things don't go smoothly, you'll end up getting resentment or worse, blamed. Better to use subtle encouragement and if they decide to switch, offer lots of useful advice and assistance.
I did not try replicating this behavior with a Windows install on my desktop. I did however perform a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have fixed the issue, which is good news.
So I decided to bite the bullet and did a fresh install of Fedora 39 and that appeared to have made the issue go away. In the process of installing updates and configuring it the way I like, the monitor control buttons on both monitors response. So, it seems like the cause of the issue could have been a glitch during an update. Who knows? At least I know that it's not a hardware issue (cross finders). :)
Before I got my noise cancelling headphones, I was very aware of the volume that I have set when trying to watch a movie in a plane. After I got the noise cancelling headphones, I no longer have to set it that loud anymore.
That said, some airlines need to relook their volumes of their PA system. Some of them are shockingly louder than necessary. Lol
Very interesting. The Asus monitor is probably only 2 years old. It does work fine standalone with a spare laptop of mine that is running Windows 10 though.
I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL
Bought a cheap AU$40 pair of generic hiking poles. Use it for the entire Camino de Santiago. Friend borrowed for her Camino walk as well. I later used it for the first half of the Coast to Coasthike in UK. Earlier this year i used it for my Kumano Kodo hike. Still going strong.
