pc wont turn on. it wont even try to POST (as in no debug led lighting up)

tested the psu with the paperclip and it fires right up pero the fan looks weak (maybe because it doesnt have a load?)

is the mb dead? what else should i test?

thanks in advance

I will be honest, I put this switch off for way longer than I should have because I assumed the setup would be complicated.

I freelance for about six clients and my workload swings a lot month to month. Paying a flat subscription fee either way never made sense but inertia kept me there longer than I want to admit.

Finally switched to DataForSEO four months ago. It runs on a seo data api pay per use model, deposit a balance, calls deduct from it, nothing charges you automatically at the start of the month.

Setup took one afternoon. Connected it to my Google Sheets workflow through their connector and the reporting side looked identical to what clients were already seeing.

First month I kept waiting for some kind of catch. A minimum charge, an inactivity fee, something. Nothing. The balance just went down for what I used and sat there waiting for next time.

Four months in and I genuinely cannot think of a reason I waited as long as I did. Quiet months are cheap. Busy months cost what they should. The data quality has been accurate enough that no client has ever pushed back on a number I pulled from it.

maybe it’s just me but I feel like I’ve been seeing 7-OH talked about way more recently

I randomly came across 7oh and they seem to be fully centered around that one compound instead of the usual plant-based approach. it made me look into it a bit more and apparently it’s one of the stronger alkaloids found in kratom

that kinda explains the interest, but it also raises some questions

like is this just the next trend where everything gets isolated and made more potent, or is there actually a good reason people are moving in this direction?

I get the appeal of consistency and stronger effects, but at the same time it feels like it might come with trade-offs too

curious what people here think because this shift feels pretty noticeable
