@cobito What a big hit you take. Thanks for keeping order in this den

Nothing is impossible with electricity, but the good thing about having a good power supply is that it is much more difficult for another component to break other than the power supply itself. Even if a spark occurs or a capacitor bursts, which leaves everything in a state where "surely the DVD reader has burned out", it may not have broken anything else.

Of course, there is always the possibility that if you had the PC in an area with humidity, in addition to the power supply, the motherboard may have been damaged, but the best thing to do is to try with a power supply that works and is of sufficient power.
The truth is that 10 years is quite a long time, although many power supplies would like to last that long. Some do not last even two years... of course, usually the bad ones for 15-20€. That said, keep in mind that nothing is eternal and the power supply suffers wear and tear and reaches a point where it says enough is enough.

Greetings!!

Edit: sorry for the reflote...I didn't look at the date jajaja

Thanks for your contribution. In the end, I bought the ROG Strix XG27AQ
The thing is that buying this monitor with my PC, I could have saved myself the money. Although of course it looks good. I don't make the most of it. But this is another one of my stubbornness in life.
There's more to learn.....

Well, but maybe in time you'll get more out of it when you upgrade your PC, you never know. How much did it cost you?, if it's not indiscreet to ask.

Best regards.

The price at that time was 600 euros, now it costs less. It was a whim. I don't make that kind of expensive purchases. I haven't bought anything for months after that

The maintenance is now complete. You can now live-stream from the video section.

@kynes said in Happy 2021!!!:

Late but still want to congratulate you all

I can barely get in because for almost four months I have a mini-me that consumes all my time, but I like to keep reading you. Take care of yourselves.

Congratulations @kynes!!
I hope you are well, enjoy your paternity friend, a hug

@Yorus Good news about your new blog! I'm just analyzing a 133MHz Pentium MMX right now. I'll see if I have it ready by the end of the month.

Well, one thing I was thinking about was creating a Telegram channel with magazines that weren't easily accessible, but that would overlap with the section of @cobito, so I'll keep passing material to HardLimit and what I'll do in the group and Twitter is promote it a little.

Don't worry about overlapping. The more duplicated these things are, the better. Everything you have that you want to share in the museum is welcome.

I always have doubts about the rights to the magazines and the fact that someone has done preservation work and has a site dedicated to it, in which case it might be better to link to them unless they somehow make it clear that they don't mind.

I don't remember where I made that exact inquiry, but that's where the idea for the VIP museum (for magazines and emulations) came from. I don't really think there's anything wrong with publishing old magazines when there's no profit motive. You can always leave a way for anyone to communicate easily to request that the material be removed.

Well, to break the ice, I've made this one that's not as personalized, but okay:

More than a signature, it's a result image (for sharing results in forums and such) because as a signature, it doesn't fit.

From now on, it's also possible to include a ranking section with the result's position (like the one in the image).

This results table is available in the central for all validations.

Those are the doubts I have as well, although I will continue to investigate. In my case, the most suitable computer is an i5-3570s of 65w and a GTX 750ti. According to the program itself, the micro gives me about 2410 points per day and the graphics 23629.

The 49:55 minute of this video is one of my favorite moments:

Good luck with this new journey and let's see if Hardlimit gets a new boost.

For my part, I promise nothing, if anything, to resume the blog that I have stopped, mainly because I never have clear what orientation to give it. Besides, I am in a period where I have given priority to other things, some for pleasure and others by obligation, but I hope to have more time after the summer and resume the blog and another small personal project.

Sponsored links have been added from PCComponentes and for all Amazon components and work has begun on component filters although nothing has been published about the latter yet.

This means that when you buy something through the comparator, you will be contributing.

I'll move it to General.

In that list I see at least a couple of models for 115V to 60Hz. So first of all where do you live? Because depending on whether it's in Europe or America, there will be models that won't work for you.

I hadn't heard about this issue (I've been a bit busy lately). The truth is that it's all very strange. I don't know what kind of profitability they would get from discrediting AMD, but if they are truly exploitable vulnerabilities, I'm sure there are states and organizations that would have paid a fortune to have exclusive access to this information.

It looks good. I'll take a look. Thanks

Don't stress, think about the number of devices that won't have new firmware with new microcodes, in addition to the fact that there are surely hundreds of vulnerabilities that are more "attackable" than Spectre, in addition to the fact that browsers will introduce patches to prevent attacks with JavaScript, the most serious due to its use in almost all modern websites. Moreover, think about how many Android phones will be left on Android 7 or lower, and I assure you that for a hacker, the information on your phone is much more useful than that on your PC.

@cobito said in Remembering old times:

Although from the first second my desire was to relaunch the forum, reality has not stopped giving me good hits in this year and a half. But this is what it is. Sometimes you lose perspective of reality, and that reality is that for 10 years there have been those who have questioned what will be done to relaunch the forum; and I am nobody to do that in a year and a half.

Hardlimit reached its moment of glory a long time ago and thanks to it, we have a great repository of information. There are still some veterans hanging around here, making valuable contributions and keeping the forum alive. Now we are a small community with a giant under our feet and I think that is a lot seen how most sites that do not have half the life of this one have ended. A small community; that is what we are, neither more nor less. I hope that it is not too ambitious a goal that it continues to be like this.

The fight does not end and I hope to find the formula to make sure that in 15 years there are still forum users reminiscing about old times.

Until then I can only miss all those forum users who, along with you, made this a great community and whom you no longer see.

It is complicated today the issue of forums, because people are moving towards other more modern social networks (which for me are mostly not better for sharing information because they are more fleeting and disordered).

You just have to take a look at Noticias3D, where I participate very little but that I occasionally read with Tapatalk. It is not a minority forum, not at all, but its activity has dropped a lot.

I am registered in a Linux forum and its activity is also very poor, it moves more also in Telegram. From Forocoches they tried to relaunch a small alternative forum about the Seat Ibiza and participation has been testimonial, and that is that the largest forum that had about one of the most popular cars in Spain closed.

I already tell you, it is not a good time for forums, but I will always be in several, and this one the first.

the best thanks my sweetie

@Bm4n The account is already created the account.. I will work on the aesthetics later.

@cobito said in HardLimit changes hands:

@kanzer I had been holding this in my back pocket for a while. It's done now. I've left it similar to how it was before.

I guess not everything can be done on the first day, thank you very much and I promise to come by more often

I believe that Western Digital does not have its own factories apart from the one it shares with Toshiba in Japan (thanks to the purchase of Sandisk), so perhaps the incentive for Western Digital to become part of Toshiba's shareholding is to guarantee preferential treatment from the world's largest supplier of flash memory.
