That’s really amazing! Thank you for sharing and providing so many sources. I’ll be checking out the book you recommended as it seems like a good starting point.

Finishing projects at work that are meant to be done by this week, and then going home to play more Starfield and later watching a few more episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender with my partner before going to bed.
Need to think of meals for the weekend as our fridge is running a bit dry now.. so many jars though!
Since I went with a MiniITX build I’ve never felt more free in where I can place my PC.
My computer used to sit under my desk for years, gathering dust and just being this bulky annoying thing that I never knew what to do with. I made an eBay filter telling me when a new listing with the words ‘mini itx bundle’ came up, and after a few months I managed to snag a great mini itx bundle. I needed then was a case and a power supply.
Tinkered with it for a day and it works great. The PC lives on my desk now, and I can easily change a drive, or move a cable that is grinding on a fan if I need to (damn CPU cooler fans and their long cables!!). I even ended up moving my pc to the living room for the weekend to play Armored Core on the projector, as streaming to the living room would have latency.
All I’m saying is that a mini itx build is a liberating build, and it’s much quieter and runs as cool as my full tower that is supposed to have ‘great’ airflow.
Basically, Sony owns a patent that forces you to say the brand name during a commercial break to end said commercial.. it’s from 2019, and it understandably stirred up some controversy back then.
