Other What's ruining your life right now?

Still getting pissed about by natwest and unable to access my account...

Did i get paid? I don;t know...
Can i afford food? I don't know...
Have bills been paid? I don;t know...

Do natwest even pretend to the faintest **** about any of the above? No

 

Must be something natwesty, I can get into my RBS account fine.

Also, got my pay rise confirmation today, post tax an pension addin, a whole 76p a day, what am I to do with these new found riches

 

A little while ago Google introduced a 'password checker' to see whether any of your stored passwords/usernames have been included in a data breach... I kinda ignored it, since my important accounts have 2FA enabled and a I have a separate really secure password manager for such accounts. But my imgur account was suspended from posting comments recently after some spambot had been posting dodgy links from my account. I am now verifying every single password flagged by google and OH MY GOD I sign up for a lot of crap! Most of the sites don't even offer the facility to delete or deactivate my account!

 

Send them a strongly worded e-mail and mention GDPR a bunch of times.

 

Now understand I don't know what i'm talking about but don't those old molex connectors for PSUs that end in fan 3 pin headers (are?) 5v?

Not sure.

 

Today was a good day 'til I spotted this abomination on IMGUR...
Burnt crepes? Ok, you need practice. Aunt Jemima syrup? Typical American but OK, I'll let it slip.
Shortening in lieu of butter?! What kind of uncivilized monster are you?

 

Where's the soldering iron?

Funny you've been playing with pins. I had a day of pins...

So basically when I went to install Aquasuite it was only seeing the Power adjust 3. This doesn't really matter because all of the fans are set up and the PA3 remembers. So does the Aquaero. However, without being able to see the Farbwerk I can't change the LEDs, and the Corsair ram farts more than enough for me. It turned into a three hour ordeal of shuffling around USBs and I had to make an internal USB to external USB cable which was a right PITA. I made it out of a 4 pin speaker extension and 1 pin extension. Took me ages, but eventually I got this...



So after shuffling around again they all finally picked up. Then the Farbwerk made the USB disconnect sound and again I had to do loads of swapping around until it finally detected, AS put a new firmware on it and I was good to go. Well, after I got the errors to disappear like the one you see in the pic.

Four hours. Just to get some USB to connect properly. Go AMD they said, it'll be fun they said.

Oh, and then I measure up for a RGB shroud for my GPU. Only the RGB strip I bought from EK for £8 (100mm) is some whacky four pin but one blocked off and 5v RGB. Seriously, the f**k. My board has a 5v 3 pin (3 pins only, not spaced like this EK) and a 12v like the rest of my gear. Only no whacky 4 pin with one blocked.

I don't know exactly how many types there are of RGB, but I am about done. It's ridiculous.

 

I was thinking of this type of thing

Sure I have one knocking about. Give me a shout if you want me to look for it.

 

Yeah my Aorus doesn't have that spaced 4 pin but actually 3 pin.

It has a four pin and 3 pin. 3 straight pins like a fp header. One is 5v, one is data (these are addresable) and one ground.

I know what the board is pushing out where, what I don't know is how this strip is wired.

I'll figure that part out tomorrow and make more sodding adapters with more sodding pins.

Edit. In fact that picture you inadvertently posted gives me what I need to make the adapter lol. So cheers, inadvertently.

 

I swear delivery drivers wait until i'm in the shower or having a dump.

Actually that's not true, they never deliver early enough for when i'm showering.

 

This is what I am up to today. Making this.



Work with this.



I have no idea why there are so many bloody types. Thankfully it's set default to 5v so I don't have to fish for the jumper. Though getting the connector on with a vertical riser in the way could prove tricky ffs.

 

I always find with the one hour time slot ones if I take a lunch break to cover said time, say between 12 & 1, they will come at 12:59 so I come back to the office late an get moaned at.

 

Grr. LED strip was faulty. So it has 5, not 6.

It does work though and is more than bright enough.

 

This ********... still...

 

Applying to jobs that I have more chance of meeting Elvis than getting interviews for.

#Edit.

Aaand the application portal has crashed, deleting the entire application back the state it was three hours and about 2000 words ago. Save button does nothing apparently.


**** this I'm coming back to it tomorrow.
