I'm disappointed the aquarium PC isn't using the ank as part of the cooling loop. I have to run a heater to keep my tropical fish happy so that would be two fish with one gadget so to speak.

It's an interesting idea but I suspect unless you had a heat exchanger to isolate the two systems then the tiny structures in the computer cooling part would get clogged up over time with microorganisms or just detritus. Plus, with PC cooling there's such a ramp up and down with CPU power and heat dissipation you'd probably need to be able to independently start and stop the cooling so you don't cook the fish. Maybe with a much bigger tank, temperature control hardware, and a link to be able to throttle the system up or down if needed.

Yeah, maybe some sort of heat exchanger with a buffer tank between them so you could store excess heat and decouple computer usage timing from tank heating timing. My thermodynamics knowledge is as bad as all my other physics knowledge so…

Why am I mind-building this? I don’t even want an aquarium or open-loop cooler really. Well, not very much. Probably.

Just take an AIO and toss the radiator (sans fans) in the fish tank. :smuggo:

Fish get real hosed up with fluctuating temps. They prefer it like 5 degrees cooler always than comfortable rather than it jumping +-5 degrees every couple hours.

Some species would be ok but most would probably die in those conditions.

Well duh that's why you'll need a thermostat to only open the tank loop when needed to maintain their favorite temp :)

Obviously it's a dumb idea... but on the other hand why am I paying to run a separate heater in the tank anyway

E: I kind of phased out Linus content but I just saw he did a review of an AE laptop and couldn't skip it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um0l6ZSxfTE

As a haver of Chinese laptop I'm not really surprised once I saw which CPU it's using. The camera and keyboard choice are definitely bizarre though. If you didn't want that there are better options though.



That's probably Linus lol.


They really should've checked the BIOS for memory and power settings though. I can get my N5100 permanently at 2.8ghz.

A reverse voltage up to 1V is quite tolerable long-term for a electrolytic cap IINW

if that flipped cap is used to power the CPU that has a Vcore around 1V anyway that wouldn't be a problem with enough luck

I always remember Tom Scott responding to the comment of how do you support yourself through Youtube with "You don't, you can't." The actual money always comes through external stuff.

Anyway have we had a pie chart showing where the money comes from and a hilarious meltdown over SponsorBlock like we got last year?

yeah, youtube numbers in general seem very underwhelming. i think the adpocalypse completely did away with the gravy train of old youtube ad money, which is why so many youtubers started getting involved in twitch

the extent to which merchandise seems like an outright necessity than a quirky venture is becoming very clear

It's worth noting that this only applies to like the top 0.01% of streamers, the ones with special contracts with Twitch. Everyone else was already on 50%, so nothing changed for them.

Top streamers make gently caress all from subs. It’s the sponsored content bringing in the money. Asmongold went over it when he broke character and basically said the new changes gently caress over anyone under 1-2k viewers.

We've had online personalities for more than a decade now, so we've had time to become very familiar with how goes:
They play a character until they get bored and drop it.
Their audience gets bored of the character and they disappear into obscurity.
It turns out that it wasn't a character.
