moved here from lemmy.one because there are no active admins on that instance.
I also never had the high wattage issue you experienced.
It’s a weird bug that only happens with certain system setups. It typically only happens when you have 2 or more monitors, one of which is 1440p or higher and has HDR turned on. A setup I unfortunately have.
I have had exactly two isolated issues with my AMD drivers using an RDNA-3 based 7900XTX.
(My use of an XTX card is notable as it is a special multichiplet architecture that is not replicated anywhere else in AMD’s lineup, and typically had more driver issues)
One was in Space Engineers, where voxel textures would get scrambled and look super weird. That one eventually got fixed after a monthish (not sure if AMD or Keen fixed it).
The other is an ongoing one where the card will use 100W to 150W doing nothing on the desktop whenever HDR is enabled on one or more displays. That’s more a fault of the XTX architecture not the drivers though, as it has to scale up the I/O memory die to high clocks for the number of bits required in HDR.
Outside of those I have literally never even noticed I was running an AMD card. Ive streamed to Twitch, recorded live gameplay to AV1, encoded videos, and played maybe 30 other games as well as heavy engineering CAD software. Shit just works when Windows plays nice. every bad crash ive had has been Windows doing retarded shit that never happens in Linux. And it works natively in Linux without nvidia’s dumb fucking proprietary driver stack. It’s chill. The internet horror stories of AMD drivers is vastly overblown.
Oh yeah, that’d be a great file server. Even low power CPU’s can typically serve data about as fast as a SATA-III drive can provide it.
Well, m.2 slots (both sata and epcie) typically only provide 3.3 volt power. Standalone 2.5" sata SSD’s require a 5 volt supply. Obviously there’s a bit of a mismatch there. So you’ll likely need to find your power from a difference source like a USB port or the internal power supply.
That adapter image is a data adapter, most likely for straight-thru msata connections, and is probably what you need. but 2.5" SSD’s also require the wide 15 pin power connector in addition to the small data connector and that power has to come from something that is not the m.2 slot.
So it looks like the omnia supporta msata (mini sata) on one of the B-key M.2 slots. Just get an msata to sata adapter (which is an electrical adapter) and not an epcie to sata adapter (which requires an adapting IC/controller). It will be cheaper and more reliable. Both will require some power supply though.
I’ve personally been using a Teamgroup 1tb from Amazon and a few KingSpec (from Aliexpress) 500gb SATA and PCIe M.2 drives for about a year and a half now without much problem or reported health loss. They are not performance winners of course but they still beat the pants off spinning rust.
YMMV of course, always keeps backups or don’t keep anything you’d be super sad to lose on them.
It will not affect system stability, but… Surge protectors do not work at all without a ground wire to drop excess voltage to. Any kind of line voltage disturbance could kill every device.
Additionally, without any ground wire to pull the housings of devices to ground, the potential for a short to energize the case and then electrocute you is also high.
additionally additionally, if you have grounded outlets that don’t actually have a ground connection running to them, that means either the wiring system is broken or it was “updated” by an unlicensed hack job who has undoubtedly made numerous more dangerous decisions elsewhere in the circuit.
If your house is entirely ungrounded you really should have an electrician come update it ASAP. Outlet grounds have been mandatory since 1971. The chances are high that wiring predating that code is still using old cloth-wrapped wire insulation or even knob&tube, both of which are huge fire risks as the insulation is decayed badly by now. It’s expensive to have all new wire pulled but it is necessary.

Don’t use a thumb drive, use an external hard/solid state drive or install an internal drive. Even an aliexpress 64gb ssd for $10 is better than any thumbdrive. Thumbdrive’s flash and controllers are not designed for OS level continuous writes and will die very quickly.
If you must use a thumb drive, add some kind of air flow over it, and disable all logging features in openWRT to reduce writes as much as possible.
If its just for her, I don’t really care what content I host for family unless it straight up nazi/gay hate shit. New age “found christian” movies are massive yuck, but innocuous otherwise. She’s gonna consume them regardless of whether you host them or not.
Move it to its own library, make sure to rip in low quality (480p low bitrate) so you’re not spending too much disk space in her, and let it be. It’s not worth driving a rift in the family over.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I do try where I can. Especially locally, currently working to get rid of a super corrupt mega libertarian republican by primarying him with a more rational candidate that can actually be talked to.
It is, I’m being tongue in cheek I’ve been to busy to finish the models lol
Oh yeah?? Whhelll my installation of Autodesk Inventor can build a case for one SBC in… all of six weeks!!! Take that!
Oh I already have. I ain’t rich but I still gave him $30.
Gonna take a lot to overcome the corporate donors of his opponent who have 10x the cash already.
The devices usually get some descriptor of what they look like…
For example I have:
The app takes a device fingerprint. When you were first banned that device fingerprint becomes blacklisted, any account that accesses from that device will instantly trigger an unappealable automod permaban response regardless of age or previous behavior.

Zen3 is OK to 95c TJmax, the cache would probably like to be cooler than 95 so you’re fine at 85
5700x3d is not a high wattage part tho if you have a big tower cooler it should easily be under 70c l, check mounting pressure, thermal paste (do not use a pad)
