  • That’s tight fit. If you really need the two capture cards then that’s the room you’ve got to work with. If you can bring it down to just one card at the top that would be a lot better. I personally use a capture card that’s connected using USB3, which works very well and doesn’t require room inside the computer (even though I would have room).

    Most videocards have two or three fans on the bottom these days, with such a tight fit one of the fans can easily collide with the capture card. And even when it doesn’t it will have a hard time sucking in air from there. You can try and find a blower type card, but that would be a bit harder to find.

    And you wouldn’t happen to have a GPU inside the CPU? Because the iGPUs from AMD are very solid if you don’t need much in terms of performance (easily faster than the 1030 you mentioned). Otherwise two capture cards and a GPU is a big ask in such a small case.


  • The A series is pretty limited, I would go for a B series if you can find it. But keep in mind drivers for Intel on Windows are terrible and on Linux even worse. So that would not be a good time.

    There’s plenty of cards that would fit in 40mm, but your airflow would be pretty bad. Do you have a pic of the inside of your system? There has to be a way to make something more fit.

    But most 6600, 7600 and 9060 cards should be able to fit in 40mm. And with AMD the drivers on Linux are very good.







  • Good news buddy! You just got a promotion! Now with this new title come a lot of extra responsibilities obviously. But I’m sure you’ll do just fine champ, you can easily triple your workload right? Just be smart about priorities and time management, you’ll figure it out. In terms of pay raise, there is no pay raise. But if you stick with it, I’m sure somebody higher up in the chain will notice all of your hard work. You’ve got a bright future at our company ahead of you.

    And if you could come in on Saturday, that would be great!


  • Yeah true, the biggest difference is they decide when and where to do such a thing. If the conditions are right and they have the water and logistics to do such a thing, they can try something like that on exactly the location for it to work. It’s also often one of the tools in the toolbox that gets used in combination to work.


  • This is obviously total bullshit, given the amount of water and maintenance required would lead to a staggering cost. But it wouldn’t even work. If just a bit of water could stop a wildfire, they wouldn’t be an issue. The water would simply evaporate under the intense heat. Another big issue is embers flying over on the wind, landing on top of something flammable (like roofs of most North American style buildings). Once the fire clears the obstacle, it’s done for.

    Usually with forest management fire breaks are incorporated. A clearing large enough so a fire on one side doesn’t easily cross over. These are often combined with access roads for fire trucks. However when a wildfire is large enough, the heat and embers are easily able to cross over. Especially when the wind is involved. Once a fire gets to that scale, it’s very hard to fight and some sprinklers in the ground ain’t going to do shit.



  • We all know OP didn’t fold his boxes at all and just stuffed them in there, blocking up the system. Every time the lady wanted to use the paper container it would be blocked and she would have to reach in there and remove all of his shit. Then properly collapse the boxes and put them back. OP has also been told multiple times to fix his shit and there is a sign above the paper container as well.

    The exact same thing happened where I work. Some idiot would just stuff an unfolded box in the paper container and would block it for everyone.





  • I feel you brother, but small scale wind is pathetic. It makes so much noise and produces fuck all for energy. If you look into the amount of engineering that goes into large scale wind mills, it’s crazy. They are really pushing the limits of what humans can do and end up with pretty good stuff. I’m all for windmills and would love to have one. But I’ve looked into it and it sucks ass for small scale.

    Have you checked wind loading in your area? These things can become a sail very easily and need to be securely mounted as to not go flying. Also the metal frames need to be grounded, I don’t see a grounding wire?

    Not to be down on your project, it’s a cool project, but I wouldn’t want your work to go to waste within a year.
