    Oh dear, i was just preparing my MacBook air to be sold, was almost going to wipe it and etc, then i shut the lid about a week prior with a good amount of battery, i open it and get mad graphics artifacting, and then it ceases for a bit, then i see that i am using a machine that has 0% battery, that isn't plugged in, well shortly after it powered down as you would expect. I do hope that the GPU artifacting is not the GPU die-ing, i hope it's that the chip didn't get enough voltage thanks to the battery. It's odd to see any graphical glitches on this mac. First time i believe, but of course it happens now :p

    The mac is on charge now, it stuck to 0% for a while, but now it is charging, i have an app that tells me battery health at 65% (65% capacity is usable, compared to the original), not too good.

    I seem to have blown up both the front panel and the fan hub in my H440. Disappointing, $120 case and I've gotten only a couple years out of it.

    Why is it the GTX 960 - GTX 980 have to be so much more expensive than 1050s and even some 1060s?!? Those bitminers always have to raise the prices on every half decent part they find. :(

    I know it’s just that I can’t gelp but notice that they’re buying the 9s more and it’s a bit annoying.

    And what's more, I'm playing Spyro: Reignited, and my progress has been completely halted by the game installing slower than I'm able to speedrun the first game. I can't travel to the second world 20 minutes after starting the game becasue it physically isn't installed yet. Say you wanted to travel to Germany, only to be stopped becasue they haven't finished building the whole country yet.
