Another "content moderation" bill is in the works in Texas, and this one is *really* bad. It basically outlaws the use of email filters, except when used for "spam"

It's a bright and sunny morning today with comfortably cool weather. Perfect for coffee time!

psa, exploding power supplies, :boost_ok: appreciated 

If you recently bought a Gigabyte power supply, it may be at risk of exploding. Newegg has been selling these power supplies in bundles with high-end graphics cards to try and liquidate e-waste stock.

From what we understand, the safety mechanism that's supposed to shut it down if there's an unsafe spike in usage (Over Power Protection, OPP) didn't kick in until serious damage was already done.

Gamer's Nexus did a video that goes more in-depth than we could ever hope to. youtube.com/watch?v=aACtT_rzTo

As of yet, Gigabyte has opted to issue an update to lower the OPP threshold rather than issue a recall.

Please double-check your power supplies in all computers you use or admin to see if they're affected.

Stay safe.

@Jnetwork Well, what I was thinking was that the creator may have previously been in Second Life, where most content has multiple materials per object.

Just noticed that my arms look slimmer than they did a few years ago

@chimerror I forget where I heard this, but one saying comes to mind: "the worst villains are the ones who believe they can do no wrong."
