I've been trying to get this website into Adsense as an added bonus to make a few cents here and there, but their approval system appears to be especially harsh. Keep in mind I have two other websites in the Adsense system.  "low quality content" and "thin content" Most of the articles here right now are text versions of my YouTube videos. I'm going to assume this is why I'd had trouble with getting their approval.  Sorry, this feels out of touch. I produce videos as my primary form of work and then create website articles based on the videos. The site has ~15 detailed articles so far. I guess the Adsense approval system considers it "low quality content". 🤷  Not everyone wants to watch a video. I feel like this is a key value proposition.    Maybe in more time I'll try to apply again, but after looking at their videos and documentations it feels vague and difficult to guess what it is they actually want.  My guess is exclusive articles wi...

Here's my review of the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W power supply. The 2024 version specifically.  I needed a PSU for my latest build, and the specs on this one looked alright given what was available on Amazon around Black Friday 2024. It was an abrupt purchase and in retrospect I should have done more research.  It's an 80+ Gold rated, fully modular unit with a 10-year warranty. On the box it says efficiency up to 90%. But, as I quickly discovered, there's more to this power supply than meets the eye, and not all of it is good. Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W (2024) First Impressions The GF1 arrived in a nice, large box. Thermaltake used really nice dense foam inside the box to protect the power supply. No complaints about the packaging. The 10-year warranty is reassuring, assuming Thermaltake fully supports their warranties, and this unit has been working fine so far. Size and Design: The dimensions of the GF1 are 150mm x 86mm x 140mm. Dimensions It's a pretty sta...

Around Black Friday 2024 I purchased most of the components for a new PC build. My old system, sporting an Intel i7-6700 from around 2015, has been a reliable workhorse, but it's showing its age for creative tasks like video editing. I did throw in an RTX 4060 8GB back in March of 2024. At the time, there weren’t a lot of other appealing options that supported hardware based AV1 encode/decode, but it did hold me over for a while in the old PC.  The video covers this topic in more detail. This website article is a summary of the video. I used AI tools to analyze and summarize what was said. I've heavily edited the text because it's not good at following my usual tone and word choices, but there's still a bit of it where I sound more dramatic than I'd normally be.  The RTX 4060 GPU I carried over from my old build. Anyway, the shipping experience has been... an adventure. And not the good kind! Let's dive into the mess.  MSI's online store needs help with thei...

What good is a country that censors what citizens see? Doesn't one side claim to be a bastion of freedom? It goes both ways. Let's see how it plays out. Starting to feel like more of a "we can't lose big tech" or "we don't want to lose our political positions" than anything else. 🤷  The AP article saying Biden will not take action in his term. Finally a bit of common sense.

At least on Android phones, you lite...

 I might as well start things off here!  I'm working on a second GPU video because I had ended up swapping out the cheap Amazon Warehouse Deals RTX 4060 one for a larger quieter one. I also was able to do 4k tests without a 4k monitor by using the Atomos Ninja V. Starting to look through the results. Here is one in Google Sheets on Affinity Photo 2 using their built-in benchmark.  The ASUS Proart RTX 4060 has a performance and quiet mode which is what the PM and SM data lines mean. So far from what I've seen of the data these two modes don't mean much from a performance standpoint, at least on my old i7-6700 based PC build. It feels like a marketing based feature and I'm probably going to leave the card in quiet mode.  I'm not sure how much of a difference these scores mean in practice between the GTX 1060 and RTX 4060, but the number is larger! haha
