@bwDraco Uh, can you send it over to India somehow? I... have 4gigs of unused and new DDR4 laptop RAM which I don't need if you want that in return (lol). Or like... anything else that you want.
I have little clue about how to "use" computers. That is to say, although I can write code to manipulate data, I know little in the way of things such as file I/O, command line interface (I have done all my coding in IDEs), or even how to make a CSS file edit an HTML file in the same folder. Coding is one thing, but it's just logic with rigid labels. Does anybody have a good crash course in how to use a computer for more than just an Internet browsing machine? Windows 10 here.
Find an interesting SU question, research how to resolve it
As for your specifics:
File I/O, try reading the data you manipulate from a file. Write data to a file. Try parsing some more complex file formats - both using existing libraries and manually (but don't do it manually in a real program!)
CLI, for your next little program try the whole process of writing/compiling in pure command-line.
I'm not a fan of that personally; GUI text editors are much easier for me.
I have a problem sending what is in `chrome://settings/content/notifications` to an excel sheet. Is scraping on-topic here? I'd like to simplify getting rid of spam notification out of browsers.
As Astaroth approaches one full year of service, it seems some of the RGB LEDs on the motherboard (most notably the PCIe and chipset/M.2 heatsink LEDs) are diverging in terms of color output from the rest of the system, possibly due to their exposure to heat. This, unfortunately, has to be considered normal wear and tear, since LEDs do degrade faster at higher temperatures...
...yeah. Fiddled a bit with the ASUS AURA software, the blue part of the RGB LEDs on the chipset heatsink are very dim. I may have to disable that part altogether.
Ah well. Wear and tear :(
In any case, Astaroth will have been in operation for one year on October 25.
Yeah. Cost and power consumption are the biggest issues. The Ryzen solution starts to look very attractive, but is considerably slower in games that are CPU-bound.
I wonder how AMD's upcoming 7nm solution will perform...
Or just pick an older Intel processor :P
But Intel's 14nm shortage is not helping :(
The H100i v2 I have here will cope with up to about 200W of heat without too much difficulty; any more and you'd need to add more fans (push-pull) or use more powerful fans (e.g. Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000), or use a larger cooler.
(though with extreme stress testing at full overclock, the Ryzen 7 1800X already does about 75-80 °C at 170-180W, depending on ambient temperature)

I was reading through and saw this, thought of you ;D
A fatberg is a congealed lump in a sewer system formed by the combination of non-biodegradable solid matter such as wet wipes with grease or cooking fat. They've become an increasing problem in the 2010s in England, as a result of the combination of aging Victorian drains and the rise of disposable (so-called flushable) cloths.
== Description ==
Fatbergs form at rough surfaces of sewers where the fluid flow becomes turbulent. Normally, in pipes and tubes with smooth inner linings the fluid near the containing wall is only slightly slower than the fluid in the central (lumen) of the pipe, and the...
I laughed about this for about 10 minutes. Well, h3h3productions talked about them on his podcast, that was ALSO funny
everything in the house is acting up. Fridge has melted ice, radio acting strange, etc.
I multimetered the panel box and each breaker is either 90v or 140v alternately.
I have a plan to upgrade the box from 100amp to 200amp as the meter shows the system is set for 200amp. But meanwhile everything...
I've done work on my house and everything is broken but I'm going to ignore all 6 answers saying call the power company b ecuase something is seriously wrong and I could die, because I'm soooooooo sure my wiring is fine even though I've not passed the test to allow me to do this sort of thing.
@djsmiley2k I had extreme brownout conditions (voltages between 75-95V) for almost two days earlier this year and it was a fault in the power company’s final AC transformer from utility voltage to 120V
@bwDraco IMO no need to go into that level of detail, esp. not much to do with mapping
Just that SSD data retention is not dependent on power, but trapped charges. And that charges can be slowly lost over (extended) time. And that the gates can wear out with use.
I'm not too sure how to put that into a coherent answer though :P
Most SSDs use electronic chips called NAND flash memory. NAND itself is non-volatile, meaning it retains its data even when power is removed, but data loss can occur in a number of different ways that are very different from how an electromechanical hard drive might fail.
The failure mode you me...

The British King or Queen is a monarch and ruled a bunch of countries that formed the British Empire. Some of which they are still a titular head of (see commonwealth countries).
> An empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. The territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.
An empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. The territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.An empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Russian Empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. Aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation...
The Spanish and Dutch never had emperors either, but they still had empires.
The Sikh Empire never had an emperor either.
