Change your password to a long, complicated random string. You will not be able to access your account until you do a password reset, which takes more effort than simply logging in.

This is very much like the traditional hooking up of an electric motor to a dynamo. It will slow down slower than usual, but it will slow down nonetheless. If you could have ideal parts, you might stand a chance. Unfortunately, pesky real world condition ruin everything.

Did we not have a thread exactly like this not too long ago?

It looks like Ebay sells adapters from 10 dollars up. I doubt there is going to be a huge market for them nowadays, and people with hands-on experience will be scarce. At 10 dollars, you could see what happens. There do seem to be some videos on the subject on Youtube.

What is your goal exactly? To save money? To have a neat project? To bring back memories? If you are attempting to fix this issue for practical reasons (i.e. financial), you are probably much better off buying something (more) recent with actual USB support. The project is bound to cost you more time and money than you save. If that is not the point, sure. It sounds like a fun project that has the potential to teach you a lot about a number of things.

To be fair, if not destroying ones reputation were the only goal to achieve, some pretty dodgy behaviour would result. It is quite possible the concept is completely alien to you.

You are not being fed today.

This thread and this question is a pretty good example.

Much to my surprise, clicky keys sound much less clicky with the keycap removed. Apparently, the stem part is only part of the story. It seems to need the keycap to funnel or amplify the sound. But yes, any feedback or sound is artificial

The same could be said for the tactile bump in other switches. The bump is there for no other reason than to have it there. MX Black and Red are the most pure switch from a mechanical point of view, but provide no feedback.

LEDs be LED'in, I guess.

Sure, shoot My experience is mostly with the various Razer Blackwidow models. I just happened to have received a X Chroma today. I love the Razer Green switches, but I am not too keen on the Oranges and MX Browns. Both lose most or all feedback when typing at speed. I would love to build a keyboard for myself, but I have too many projects already. It would. As has been said before, by increasing voltage you multiply the amps by a larger number, resulting in more total energy being used. That energy is almost fully converted into heat, resulting in higher temperatures. Your conclusion is correct. Undervolting helps keeping the chip cooler, as less energy flows through it. At a certain point, though, the difference between a 0 and a 1 becomes too indiscernible and problems start happening as random bits appear to have the wrong value. Something similar happens when you apply a higher voltage. Having a bigger difference between 0 and 1 makes faster switching easier, though applying too much voltage leads to overheating and voltage leaking to neighbouring parts within the CPU (i.e. transistors), introducing errors. Bits that should be 0 suddenly appear to be 1 and ones that should be 1 appear to be a 0. If the hardware becomes too hot, it might be damaged by the heat. Relatively high voltages can damage hardware in itself too, due to electromigration. Both phenomena interact, amplifying each other. Are those clicky?

Voltage in itself says little about power consumption. If you remember high school, voltage times amps is watts. The number of watts is the actual quantity of power consumed. While it is true that lowering the voltage can reduce power consumption, this is the case because you multiply the amps by a lower number, resulting in less watts. First buying an expensive card and then downclocking could work, but you spend a lot of money on something you only partly use.

Buying from the internet often means no shipping charges. Also, paying two or three bucks for a handful of LEDs is hardly a gamble. If you value your time, going to the shops is a lot more expensive - which it is regardless.

Heat is noise, which matters to some people a lot. Even though I think the difference here is small. I pick my cards according to power consumption, because I loathe noise. Having a good cooler is part of the solution, not having to dissipate a lot of energy is the basis.

Why not? You can get lots of great components for less than peanuts. Even though you are right that buying small often does not make sense. If buying lots costs slightly more than buying a few, but still costs next to nothing, why not build a neat little supply for future projects?

Yes. No. Tennis shoe. It all rather depends on the requirements you are trying to meet

Averages can confuse matter sometimes. The AAA games mostly support multicard setups. Games that do not are often not very graphically intensive.

While your conclusion is correct without a doubt, these two arguments are not quite true. Scaling often is much better than 50%. Adding a third and fourth card means less optimal scaling, but having a second card more often than not almost doubles the performance. Cards of different strength are not likely to be an issue, since anyone will know to use similar cards. That being said, going with a single card solution, or better yet, a single GPU solution, almost always is the preferred scenario, due to some of the reasons you mention.

Sure. Luckily, such an event is pretty rare. Data security is never about eliminating risks, but always about mitigating them to an acceptable point.

Most enthusiast motherboards provide reasonable RAID solutions. It introduces additional complexity and is therefore only worth the hassle if you know why you want it, but losing a RAID set with your hardware is not an issue if you have proper back-ups. You would not depend on RAID for that anyway. If your motherboard dies, replace it and rebuild from the back-up - though motherboards are fairly resilient. For sure, RAID is a plaything for the enthusiast, but it can be useful in some situations where faster components are not available or terribly expensive.

Multiple drives does not automatically mean RAID. That is just one of the options. Having one driving handling Windows and having another for your recordings can greatly improve performance and eliminate hiccups. Another obvious option would be to either RAID0 two drives and use them as a fast host OS + VMs drive, or having one SSD for the host and another for one or more SSDs. Reduced reliability is something to consider, however, anyone who is sensible will have proper backups and with proper backups it is a matter of restoring the most recent one. Whether you saturate the SATA link or the drive itself does not matter much, you multiply bandwidth in both cases. Having everything on one drive can bite you when multiple things have to happen at the same time. Even using traditional drives, having one for the OS and one for games or recording or other performance hungry applications can improve the experience.

It should be noted that using multiple SATA drives can improve performance, even if some drives are not the fastest, as the SATA bandwidth is limited and using multiple drives multiplies the bandwidth available. Not having Windows reads and writes interfere with other operations can also improve performance a lot.

Hybrid setups are the solution of choice until SSD storage becomes cheap enough to beat the HDD in quantity too. Most people that use SSD's have a Windows + applications drive and a bulk storage drive, though you see more and more people exclusively using an SSD, especially in laptops. Games can mostly be played from HDD without much trouble, though times are changing there too. Some games that use streaming technology like Skyrim, Fallout 4 and GTA V can suffer from noticeable lag when played on a HDD, and in some multiplayer games slower loading and later spawning can be a disadvantage too. Game developers follow the general public and the general gamer public is rapidly adopting the SSD as the drive of choice. Since games generally require huge amounts of disk space, being selective about putting what game where seems the way to go.

Cool It suprises me a bit that Arduinos and other microcontrollers are not discussed more on the forums. After all, KSP is an almost perfect virtual environment for robotics and embedded systems and Infernal Robotics and kOS seem pretty popular.
