I would start with a heat shield and see if that helps. I Had a similar issue where my AC evaporator is 6 inches from an exhaust header. I added a heat shield on the evaporator housing and it helped with AC temp.

I started with a $15 double edge safety razor that I used for years. I bought the $70 Henson razor because I wanted a better shave, but the results are about the same as the $15 razor I started with. The Henson razor glides better so I can get the same quality shave with less time. I can also shave twice (one across the grain once against) if I want a better shave, but it still isn't the smooth shave I was hoping for. The henson razor came with 100 blades, but you can also get 100 blades for $10 on amazon.

Not sure how lemmy compares but it isn't unusual for user generated content online to follow a 1:9:90 distribution of posters, commenters, and lurkers. Just look a the number of upvotes a post gets compared to the number of comments it has and you can tell that most people who vote dont also comment.

I rarely comment because internet discussions tend towards arguments. I usually just upvote comments that already say what I was going to comment anyways.

There have been a few videos by hardware reviewers to address the sample size concern. Gamers Nexus tested 3 different CPU models with 20+ CPUs each and found that the biggest variance from lowest to highest performance was under 4% while performance variance in most cases was about 2%

The way CPU manufacturing and binning are done means that cpus in particular will have very minor differences within the same model number.

Its mostly just increased reporting. Tech companies overhired when when they were doing well during lockdowns and are laying people off now that the increased revenue didn't hold indefinitely.

https://layoffs.fyi/ has been tracking layoffs in the tech sector since covid and the charts show how much more layoffs there were in 2023 (particularly January and February). It seems like the biggest change is that now every time there is a layoff it gets more news coverage.

If you have a browser that still supports javascript bookmarklets and are brave enough to trust code from a random stranger online I have a bookmarkelet that I got from a random stranger online years ago that cleans all of that junk from links on the entire page making them safe to click.

javascript:(function(){var%20k,x,t,i,j,p;%20for(k=0;x=document.links[k];k++){t=x.href.replace(/[%]3A/ig,':').replace(/[%]2f/ig,'/');i=t.lastIndexOf('http');if(i>0){%20t=t.substring(i);%20j=t.indexOf('&');%20if(j>0)t=t.substring(0,j);%20p=/https?\:\/\/[^\s]*[^.,;'">\s\)\]]/.exec(unescape(t));%20if(p)%20x.href=p[0];%20}%20else%20if%20(x.onmouseover&&x.onmouseout){x.onmouseover();%20if%20(window.status%20&&%20window.status.indexOf('://')!=-1)x.href=window.status;%20x.onmouseout();%20}%20x.onmouseover=null;%20x.onmouseout=null;%20}})();

It looks like a fan header with a molex split. But more pictures would be needed to confirm 100% (A picture of where the cable connects to the motherboard in particular)

I assume it is a fan with both a 4pin header and molex like https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1bjiuX5frK1RjSspbq6A4pFXaS/120mm-LED-Ultra-Silent-Computer-PC-Case-Fan-15-LEDs-12V-With-Rubber-Quiet-Molex-Connector.jpg You would only connect one of the ends and the other end would be left disconnected.

My guess is that the molex end was never connected to anything and was simply tucked under the IO shield to the left or the VRM heat sink above. It was probably jostled loose during transport. You can take a look around for anything with the same size as the loose connector to see if something was plugged in there. The connector is shaped like the letter "D" where one side is flat and the other has slightly rounded corners so you can only plug it in one way. This cable is for power only so it would probably be something like a fan or a light.

If I am correct then the cable can be left unplugged and you can tuck it somewhere to hide it or just leave it taped. It would also be unrelated to your headphone issue.

MrHydrohead has a series of videos on their multi-year renovation project for their off grid domestic micro hydro power system. While not taking an existing on grid system off grid they renovate their failing off grid hydro system from 1996.

There are 3 short project summary videos the have notes that show which project video covers the topic they are discussing so you can find more information. One Two and Three

For cases where injury was sustained there is legal doctrine know as the Eggshell skull rule

The rule states that, in a tort case, the unexpected frailty of the injured person is not a valid defense to the seriousness of any injury caused to them.

I keep seeing people saying that the LTT video came out first when all I can find supports that Madison's tweet came out first. Its likely LTT made and released the video before they were aware of the tweet.

The timestamps I can see (in my local time of -7)
Madison's tweet 11:09 PM · Aug 15, 2023

LTT video 2023-08-16 / 03:33:44

Madison's tweet came out 4 hours and 24 minutes before the video was published.

Additionally the Verge article states a similar timeline.

Linus Tech Tips posted its latest video at approximately 7AM ET. However, last night, at approximately 2AM ET, a former employee, Madison Reeve, posted a thread on X
