So is Rustic a dark brown or dark green? (Bedale)

The one on the model on the official Barbour website is clearly some sort of dark green, but Googling would suggest that Rustic is actually a dark brown. And yes, my monitor is calibrated.

Anybody sick right now with cold-like symptoms, but no sore throat?

Wondering what the hell this is. I can't remember the last time I had a cold without a sore throat, so I'm thinking this could be something else. Main symptoms are horrible sinus headaches, congestion, coughing, and---of course---fatigue.

Accidentally bought the same game twice

Wondering if anyone has ever done this before and managed to get something back even after the keys have been revealed.

I currently own two copies of Control Resonant Digital Deluxe Edition...

Trigger doesn't seem to be reliable

Not much to say here, but Trigger doesn't seem to always kick in when it's supposed to on my system. Did a little gaming with it on the other day, and the fans never ramped up from idle speeds, and my 9800X3D was running at 95 degrees...

Hypothetical scenario: What happens if a clerk is prevented from locking up their drawer in a safe after closing out?

Let's say that a PSE was too busy with dispatch at the end of a day and didn't get a chance to lock their drawer in a safe before it was closed by a coworker, and it just so happens that nobody who was working that day knew the combination to the safe.

The PSE is told to take the drawer into the PM's office, and management tells them to just put it in one of the drawers in his desk even though it's insecure.

The next day, the PSE comes in and finds out that the drawer is missing or has been tampered with.

Who is fucked here?

Swapped Dark Rock 5 for NH-D15 G2 and my temps are at least 10°C Cooler (9800X3D)

WTF. Really wish I did this sooner.

Got my current rig back in January 2025, and while I always had the nagging feeling that my 9800X3D was running a lot hotter than it should be (+95°C at its worst during gaming), I tolerated it because I kept reading that this CPU simply ran hot.

Finally took the chance and swapped out my Dark Rock 5 today, and I'm seeing a solid improvement in temperatures. The best part is how I'm not even hearing my fans rev up and down anymore while doing stuff like launching a browser.

Now I feel like swapping out all of the Silent Wings fans in my tower for Noctua fans, too...

Why aren't UPS recommended for audio equipment?

I mean, if your speakers are playing something loud and the power suddenly goes out, that can't be good, right?

Could ThermalProtect cut power to a GPU simply due to poor airflow?

Upgraded my system with a HX1200i SHIFT and 5090 with ThermalProtect 600W 12V-2x6 Cable, and my GPU has been cut off at least twice now while playing games, particularly when switching between gameplay and in-game menus where there's large variances in power draw.

Now, I'm not 100% sure that this is due to ThermalProtect activating, but assuming that it is, is it possible that ThermalProtect may activate not because of the connectors being seated improperly, but simply because the inside of the case is too hot due to poor airflow or some other reason?

My fans are at 100% before power is cut from the GPU, if that adds anything.

PC crashing after PSU (1200W) and GPU (5090) upgrade

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.

So I just upgraded to a Corsair HX1200i SHIFT PSU and an ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC.

Twice (or three times?) now, while gaming and sitting in some kind of static menu, the power draw and heat in my system goes berserk to the point where my displays will cut out...but it's not a full-on crash or shutdown, as any audio will continue playing, indicating that the system is still running.

After this happens, hitting the reset button will restart the system, but I can't get any display output back until I do a hard shutdown by holding the power button, switching the PSU on and off, and then powering on again.

This just happened when I was playing Star Wars: Zero Company, but I can't figure out if this is actually a CPU or GPU issue.

It seems like a GPU issue, being that the only thing I'm losing during the crash is my display output, but IIRC, my GPU temps weren't too crazy right before it happened, with the temp being what I believe was around 80°C.

My 9800X3d package temp was ridiculous, though, being at 100°C, and that was with the CPU running in Eco Mode at 65W.

Why would this be happening when I have my frame rates capped to 116 FPS? It ONLY HAPPENS when I pull up static menus in games.

Perhaps the problem is that I only have a frame rate cap set through the NVIDIA App and not the game itself? So the CPU is still trying to push the frame rate beyond 116 FPS?

Some other (maybe relevant) details I'll add:

  1. Windows 11 forces me to reset my PIN every time this crash happens. No idea why.

  2. With the new Corsair HX1200i SHIFT PSU, I'm now using both (rather than just one) CPU power connectors on my ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI.

  3. I'm using a ThermalProtect PCIe 5.1 600W 12V-2x6 Cable. I don't know if the "crash" I'm experiencing is actually from ThermalProtect activating, however. (As I noted earlier, the temperature on my GPU was around around 80°C.)

Why does the regular Pixel always get the best colors?

Why the hell isn't that magenta available on the Pro or Fold? Would look amazing with the gold highlights.

Same shit with the 10 series. Blue was the best color.

If the Pixel team was smart, they'd be the first to release a passport-style, non-folding phone

Anybody else think this would do wonders for the brand and to increase the popularity for Pixels? Because I think a phone with a passport-like ratio that isn't a folding device would be hugely popular.

Is the temperature situation unique to the TS5+?

Or do all of the TS units run at a similar temperature? My return window is ending soon on Amazon, and I'm debating whether I should keep mine. I think that it's working fine, but then again, all I'm using it for is a gloried USB hub.

How's the gamma settings on your ASUS PG27AQWP-G?

I got mine today and spent at least two hours trying to figure out why everything looked lifeless and washed out. Turns out that the gamma presets aren't anywhere near accurate, and that 2.6 is the closest to 2.2. Did you experience something similar with yours? How can something that's pre-calibrated be so incorrect?
