So which one of these pretty standard ingredients is the secret ingredient?

Concerta. Turns out I have ADD ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I did not know this exists! I will be using this at least weekly from now on. Thank you!

Got a non-spotify link? Love me some synthwave.

I agree on the sourcream & onion, taffel's furious is delicious, but Oikia Musta Melody Black Garlic is absolutely without competition for top spot.

Taffel (FIN), Estrella (SWE) & Oikia (FIN) as well!

Why would you remind me of this on a Monday morning. Haven't I suffered enough :(

In all seriousness, great episode, definitely still makes me sad every time even when I know it's coming. Unpopular opinion, I think Futurama was on par with the best Simpsons seasons, and way better than most Simpsons seasons.

Dogget at least has some character development, doesn't hold a candle to Mulder though and definitely not saying he's a good character, but what really got me was the Agent NoPersonality, Monica Reyes. (I had to look up her name) She doesn't do anything, she doesn't have any kind of development, she doesn't add anything and she's just so boring and cookiecutter. No chemistry with Dogget either. I had actually forgotten she exists until I rewatched the entire series recently.

Yes. Thank you for noticing.

I mean, that's what makes it fun? Do you play games without rules too? In my mind, it's not worth much thought if there's no rules to it. Otherwise you could just say "I will go into the future where they've invented how to become a god and then come back with my godlike powers and do whatever I want."

it's the wishing-for-more-wishes kind of boring thing to do. Boundaries and restrictions breed creativity. That's what's fun for me.

Come on, can't ask this kind of question without giving us the rules.

Paradox free? Does the future change? Do I go as my current self or is age adjusted? Do I keep my current knowledge and memories and skills? Do I get to go back? Do I get multiple tries to get the optimal outcome?

So many variables with these kinds of hypotheticals, I can't give you any meaningful answer without general outlines of the rules. Can't play the game if I don't know the rules.

Hmm, yeah, I don't think that's very likely. Used it on the same TV for the entirety of it's lifecycle, and I believe I was using my PC monitor when I was troubleshooting. Very unlikely for two devices to cause the same issue. I'll keep it in mind either way, who knows.

 

Hello,

so my old PS4 (Gen 1, I think, not a huge console person, it's my Bloodborne machine and nothing else) has an issue: it turns off after about 5 minutes of it being on, and when it reboots, it goes to safe mode, does some scans, boots and it happens again within 5 minutes.

At first I thought it was a heating issue or the old HDD breaking down, so I cleaned it thoroughly and replaced HDD with a new SSD. Issue did not go away, so in the name of troubleshooting, I blew cold air into it while it was on, but the exact same thing happened again. Have also reinstalled the OS clean when I swapped to the SSD, didn't do any cloning shenanigans.

Currently my theory is either the main board or PSU that's broken. One other idea I had was that the thermal compound has gone bad on CPU/GPU, but haven't tried replacing that yet, it seemed unlikely to be the issue after I increased the cooling temporarily, should have at least seen an increase in the time it stayed on by my logic.

I have another PS4 I found for free on second hand market app, seller said the PSU broke and is missing, but main board should work fine.

I've been googling this every once in a while, but haven't found any clear answers. I also took some measurements from the connectors, and they seem to give correct voltages, but haven't checked current, and haven't done any long term measurement when it shuts down, so no clue if it's a voltage spike or undervoltage that causes this issue. My oscilloscope is also out of commision, so that complicates any long term measurements.

Does this kind of issue ring a bell for everyone? Any further troubleshooting tips? Should I just plug the PSU into the other PS4 without a PSU and see if the same thing happens? Doesn't 100% rule out the mainboard being the issue, since I have no idea if the mainboard is a known good component on the spare part one either...

I'd really like to finish my Bloodborne perfectionist run some day :)
