Did I get the wrong motherboard (Gigabyte B550 Eagle WIFI 6) for my 5900XT?

I feel kinda dumb. In the flurry of being excited to build a new PC and getting OK deals on prime day, I ended up getting a B550 WIFI 6 and the heatsinks are tiny. I setup All core PBO with CO and the temps are pretty insane. Should I be safe and get a motherboard with bigger heatsinks? I'm mostly worried about my VRM.

Southern CA, noticed some damage on the floor. It’s not soft or wobbly around or inside. Could this be termites or pests?

It’s shiny because my mom sprayed some bug stuff on it out of precaution. I’m thinking we should get underneath the floor to see if it’s bad but could this be early signs of termites?

Getting a 5060 Ti 8GB from a 1660 Super? Or try to get a 12GB card?

I know, basically anything is an upgrade for me. I just know that basically people say the Ti is a scam, only has 8GB and wont scale for the future. I understand that, but 12GB AMD cards are ~$430 from what I can see. I'm on AM4 trying to stay on it for a while due to RAM costs and am probably going to stick on 1080p for a while too. All I care is at least 60fps on Medium for the modern games like battlefield 6.

Do y'all think it's worth to try to stretch for a 12GB card? Is FSR a lot better now and close to DLSS? The Amazon prime day deal for the PNY 5060 TI seems decent.

If anyone is curious about my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CZg28Z

Eataly LA just failed their health inspection

I have it on extremely good authority that the Eataly LA location (specifically the Quick Service Department, though it may impact the entire store including the restaurants) just failed their health inspection and may be forced to shut down. There’s regularly (like multiple times daily) mold on items sold to customers and they knowingly serve spoiled pastries, sandwiches, pizzas, and such. All of the prepared foods at the various stations are sitting out for like 12 hours by the end of the day (way past the 4 hour safety window). The milk is old and spoiled at the coffee stations too. In the wake of the failure, management advised employees to lie about how long they’ve been sitting there to the health department when they return in 72 hours for re-inspection. Please don’t keep giving them business, for your own safety if nothing else!

How "new" are new opportunities?

I just joined a couple weeks ago so I'm very new. Applied to a bunch of stuff and it still says "new opportunity" just like when I signed up. Are they actually new? How long does it usually take to get a rejection from a project that is just starting up?

Coordinated fake "homeless takeover" videos were filmed on Councilwoman Nithya Raman's street in Silver Lake this weekend, currently being distributed and pushed by four pro-Pratt accounts

What started as cringe AI slop and misinformation has turned into something far more disturbing, and I feel like it's only going to get worse.

In the past 24 hours, Eoin Richard, StreetPeopleOfLosAngeles, Susan Collins (LA), and Zach Comisar distributed some of the most vile, racist, fear-mongering propaganda I've seen this election cycle.

Each account posted these fake videos around the same time, tagged each other, and passed them off as real, claiming "someone sent them the video." Of course, no one claimed responsibility for the actual filming. But given that Zach Comisar works for Vice Media in their social department, founded and operates the AI slop and misinformation account PalisadesHQ, and happens to be a longtime Spencer Pratt collaborator, maybe he might know? Zach?

The staged videos were filmed on a residential street in the hills of Silver Lake, to simultaneously dupe the audience into believing "nowhere is safe" and to straight-up harass Nithya and her family. (Yes, they placed all of the people and props in her driveway.)

Each video features what appears to be an exclusively Black cast acting out every "scary, drugged-out homeless" stereotype your Fox News uncle fever-dreams about: some kind of half-assed, TikTok "Birth of a Nation" lite exclusively for this very weird election. Yes, anyone with a few brain cells could spot how fake this content is. But sadly, as of this morning, these videos have over a million views, and most of the comments seem to think they're genuine.

Who are these people? Are they getting paid by the Pratt team or just volunteering their… "services"? It's gross and weird as hell.

***Edit***

Clearly Pratt is aware of this stunt as he posted around 8pm on May 26th that someone "invited some skid row homeless for a BBQ" at Nithya's house. These ghouls are the most anti-social dweebs.

The performance issues on the Firefox extension are seriously making me consider switching

The issues have been filed on GitHub several times and it is talked about on the firefox extension reviews a few times as well. It makes typing on reddit impossible, so I had to block it from autofill. I also had to block a few other websites and it somehow makes loading certain websites slow as well.

I just removed the extension again and all is normal. Except now getting to my passwords is extremely inconvenient and I cant even use my passkeys.

Please fix. I love this pw manager so much but it really is becoming unacceptable.

What’s the deal with parking at Century City now?

The rules are so confusing now. So even with validation at Gelson’s, 3 hr parking is $17. And Gelson’s requires a $17 min purchase to validate now. Might as well pay them the 3 hour parking price.

And the fact that they don’t post the validation rules on their website is such BS.

I suggest doing a hunger games-style election with the homeless and the victor gets to be mayor. At least then, we have a strong voice for the people.
