"Another User Sees Melting Of 16-Pin Connector..." Another means we have all two or more already, as this is the second case mentioned in a separate article if I'm right, and the first one is more on the user's side (even though the design is bad). I wish any report from a large manufacturer, not a random reddit post that causes people to panic. I guess manufacturers won't share as it would hit their sales.

Also ... the wrong thread?

Yes. I'll move it when I'm not mobile.

I recently got an invite for Amazon Vine, and the first thing that popped up that I was half interested in was a 16 port full metal power strip. I always seem to be running out of 'em.



And some halogen bulbs I'm returning. Don't drink and Prime, kids.)

I actually need those kind of lights in my kitchen, good to know they are on Amazon lol..

 

[freakdiablo]

I actually need them for a floor lamp that came with super white lights, like 6500k. Got several installed, turned it on, "hmm, these get a lot hotter than the old ones. I couldn't feel the heat from my desk before..."

Looked at the lamp, "5w LED bulbs only". Woops...

Find MR-16 LED replacements, the halogen are hot AF. The LEDs use less power & last much longer. I have a pair in my kitchen exhaust hood.

Replaced the returned Asus Snapdragon laptop with a refurbished 15.6" HP Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T) with Arc graphics. Running nicely so far. Just $360 at Microcenter.

What's the screen native resolution @DaveB ?

What's the screen native resolution @DaveB ?

Nothing special, 1920 x 1080, IPS panel but it does look good. For $360 that works, with 16GB DDR5 and 512GB SSD. HP offered me a 3-year warranty with accidental damage covered for just $42 after the Presidents Day 30% off topped by a second 33% off promo code. I don't usually buy these things but that is a good offer, especially with accidental damage covered. I do have a rambunctious collie running around the house always jumping on my lap (and possibly laptop!).

Because, perspective, the bottom portion makes the monitor look small, lol.

EDIT: That monitor on the left, @DaveB - an old one judging by the 1" border!

Jokes aside... nice find!

My Dell notebook is also 1080p, but it's rocking a 6th gen i7 & quadro M1000M (~GTX 960). That HP would be a nice step up for me if I needed it.
Looks like you got a great deal too.

I've had the HP ZR2740W monitor for at least 12 years, so yeah, a bit old. Still very clear text at 1440p after running 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 12 years.

Got me a really cool, needed Variac for under $50 shipped. For a 10-amper, she's quite hefty @ 12lbs. Wasn't gonna get one of dem new fangled jap/china junk.

This is a Staco USA made in Dayton Ohio
Type 2PF 1010

I was waiting for 9900/9950X3D.. patience is not a virtue of mine

 

[mackerel]

Got some vent covers to try and prevent slug ingress at my house. Couldn't decide what colour to go for so got 2 of each of these to try out. I need 6 total anyway, and want the front of house to look good. The side/back is less important. House is red brick, but I think the brown is a better match than the red. Got the grey because I thought that might go with the cement. Now to devalue my house by attempting to drill into it!

Is it generic or something? I can't see any brand name? Also... what's the refresh rate and how much was it?
