Acidic soil + UV, for sure.

Not sure! Does seem…oddly inefficient, though.

Yeah, mine has one and it runs, but infrequently and at such a slow RPM it does very little. Shucking it was the only thing that seemed to help!

They should have gone with one of these thicker 30mm (thick) fans. They move a lot more air than even a standard PC fan, but do it quietly.

Though one has to wonder why it needs cooling at all. I’ve never had an actively cooled network device before, and most of my equipment hasn’t even gotten more than marginally warm due to excellent venting.

They are all on the bottom, the rubber feet/stripping on mine started coming off, found it by mistake. One has a sticker, but those don’t really hold up to void warranties anyways. Plus, I’m just gonna super glue the rubber feet back on after, hahah. I just tucked the screws and the chassis in the back of a closet for now. No tabs or anything to break when uninstalling it, either!

Edit: yeah, all in one! Mine is one of those modem / wifi combos. I set it to bridge mode so I could use my own router, and the thing still overheated even though it was just acting as a modem, smh. Annoying how bad it is. Luckily, shucking it will clear up 9/10 problems. Put some tape over the LED if you sleep in the same room as it, it’s very bright when exposed.

It was a good game, but was definitely pretty iterative at a time when there’s a certain exhaustion around iterative titles. The higher price tag and late-gen release didn’t help either.

It likes to drop me from the middle of games when my same unit overheats :)

Fuck Comcast and fuck the “Made with ❤️ in Philadelphia” team that designed this complete POS. It has a built in cooling fan (lmao) and still overheats! It’s a mostly empty modem that is almost the size of a shoebox, lol. It gets so hot that the adhesive on the bottom starts coming off.

Hey! You have the same shitty AIO that Comcast sent me! It overheated and tries to melt itself down all the time. Luckily it gets so hot that the adhesive melted and the screws were easily visible. I just took the chassis off and it mostly doesn’t overheat anymore.

Crazy, the thing is basically hollow and was right next to the window and would still overheat. The bottom doesn’t allow for any air intake so it sufffocates. Also it’s 80% plastic because they couldn’t be assed to add aluminum heatsinks.

All of our gamecube controllers work perfectly too. And no damage either. From that era, no less. It’s a bit of a bummer how far Nintendo has fallen in that regard.

An interesting chip, but I really hope they focus on making them more durable and comfortable. My original DS has held up better over the years than my switch, despite me using it way less. Drift, wobbly controller rails, even some slight bending. I think I’ve gone through 4-5 controllers at this point, while mostly using it for the occasional flight and party game night.

I really want all devices to have this option. I have it on my phone, and it’s really nice- I just wish my asus laptop, steam deck, and other devices could do it.

What if you can’t access gplay for various reasons? (Non-stock OS, geographic lockout, etc etc)

Are you just straight-up boned when 14 rolls around? Genuinely curious
