My first build had smoke coming out of the rgb headers (Asus ROG Crosshair Dark Hero VIII) and now im just second guessing myself. I never really figured out why. Just to double check this time, i checked the continuity of the 5v and ground pin on both headers and the resistance kept slowly shooting up for some reason. Gave me a short beep. So thats got me cautious.

Other than that, what should i double check? Or do i just send it...

M, 28, I work with a bunch of chemical engineers that mainly work as process engineers in my company. I come from more of a technical background (electronics). I have a technical bachelor's degree. Yes, no E in my degree. Waste of time (i wonder if this is how graduates of ITT Technical Institute feel).

Anyways, before the rant starts, is there anyone here who struggles with ADHD in the STEM field? Specifically engineering technicians. If so, how do you manage it? What tools help you stay on track?

And to start, I want to say that i'm not trying to sound entitled or arrogant by any means. I worked my tail off to get where I am. But I want to be more involved with engineering or R&D. I dont want to overstep, but I really just want to feel like i can make decisions on certain subjects based on my versatile background without feeling like i need to have my hand held and micromanaged. Im very curious, especially regarding anything electrical or software based. I also love to build pc's and tinker. But at my company (Dupont) any input or feedback that i suggest always feels patronized. Honestly, it just feels a waste of breath at this point. I just stay quiet in my group, keep my head down, and at this point I just feel defeated here and it seems like any feedback will be met with some contrarian response.

TLDR; I have a silly ADHD brain and feel inferior because of my title and the lack of letters on my diploma.

Can anyone relate?

This would be while using my PS5 which I know only supports
UAC-1 and my T71 is a UAC-2. So thats why I want to use my TV's audio. If I dont need to buy a PCM2704, what would your configuration be to set up the T74 with the tv?

This is my first time actually trying and also doing survival mode. Without freezing to death, i cant get out. There is no fast travel. I dont have enough magika to get into the college. Cant steal enough to get just a sliver of magika. Do i just give up and load an older save state? I heard there is a mine but i cant find it without an assassin trying to start shit.

This is not an excuse (i am just lost; you can decide if its an excuse), but a limitation. Sufficient support is pay walled. Get ready for run on sentences. Ive gone to food banks, ive been in support groups, ive been to over 15 therapists, ive tried meditation for over 2 years, ive been on countless medications since i was 12, I've voluntarily admitted myself for psychiatric treatment, i cannot afford healthy food unless you count apples and bananas (which you cant really ration and stay sufficiently full). I also cannot cook for the life of me. If i try to, i get angry if its not perfect. I live alone and scream everyday because im so fucking fed up with not being able to be good at anything. I took on the hobby of pc building and everytime i work on it, i get so unbelievably angry to the point that i almost pass out. Im honestly suprised i havent had a complaint from the apartment managers. Ive had multiple girlfriends that I couldnt nurture because i was always so down, anxious, and just downright angry and hateful towards myself that it basically made them feel the same way toward themselves. I had put all of the care towards them that i wish i would give myself and that basically shades my own problems. The toxic sludge i withhold from them will find the orifice to leach onto them. I feel like an actual virus. Maybe its childhood trauma but thats the past and directing culpability to a specific person does nothing. But ive had some of the most happy go lucky partners turn cynical and jaded. I cannot find the peace and want to do better so bad, but nothing seems to change. How am i supposed to work on myself if i can never seem to find right the footing? Im also noticing the amount of 'i' statements in this post and question if my criticism even holds weight. Am i a narcissist?

Are there security risks with at&t’s number sync and dual sim card phone numbers? Couldnt this be exploited through wifi calling, service provider managed wifi networks, call routing, or even Whatsapp? I fear this can be especially prominent if the sim card was on an old iPhone with a different carrier and is synced with a new iPhone that uses esim on a new carrier…

My iPhone 16 PM has an eSIM of course. Still have the ability to use a SIM pin for some reason. I have tried to remove this old device (iPhone 13 PM) from being on Find My and having access to my iCloud; but it was quite difficult. Especially with the sim card in the way sincd that SIM was tied to Verizon, and i'm using AT&T now. Long story short: found out my sim card and esim separated into two of the same phone numbers somehow. Which begs the question, is this a security issue?

My user agent used some of the following information (i omitted some values for the sake of privacy and my own personal choice:
"CPU iPhone OS 18_7 like Mac OS X" and a "AppleWebKit
(KHTML, like Gecko) FxiOS/Mobile/Version/18.6". So... 18.6 was my iOS version on my iPhone 13 PM... why is that showing up as my user agent on my iPhone 16 PM?

Does this user agent string even sound correct if im using iOS 26.6? I am using Adguard vpn, but that shouldnt affect my OS should it?

TLDR; -have your carrier disable your phone
- do not keep it for yourself
- not mentioned but equally important... by god, do not put your old phone into those phone scrapper machines at the mall for a quick $20 without removing your sim card.

Am I able to purchase an individual stick or does the receiver that was in the box with the 3 pack only connect to those specific fans?

I've heard talks about Cuba being overtaken once again by the U.S. For anyone here outside the U.S, citizens in the U.S will RARELY hear anything about Cuba, even though they are quite literally our neighbors. We can travel there, but god forbid you don't keep a journal of all transactions you made in Cuba.

I'm just wondering what the strategy is here, because I can't even comprehend who's side the U.S is even on anymore. I'm just hoping there isn't another Congo crisis. I mean seriously, wouldn't a U.S. invasion of Cuba help Russia more than it helps the U.S? What is the plan here?
Even if Washington framed it as countering Cuban support for Russia, an invasion would pretty much fracture allied support and create a regional rift in Latin America.

All to avoid discolouration/deterioration on the copper base surface of the G2 from the LM. I feel this is too many steps and variables and will just be a dumb experiment. But... thoughts?

I'm trying to find a phone that sort of strays from "Big Tech", but I need some opinions.

One of the 4 phones i've been looking at is the linux phone, specifically the Librem 5. The other 3 are the Pinephone, Fairphone 5, and the Volla phone x23.

Does anyone have any other recommendations? Which one would you say takes the cake?

I recently moved over from Gmail to Proton, and ngl it was a hassle. But I'm hoping to hear good things about Proton. I've been thinking about Thunderbird, but if I have to pay for Proton I will.
