Greetings, gang!

1 degree above zero here. Yaaay! (Of course, it is after 1:00 p.m. while I type this.)

So I decided I would go with a remote ARGB kit for the other other daughters fan set up. I already had this in my possession and was going to use it on another build but never got around to doing that and the case still sits in the box. (Another one of those rainy day projects.) Myself, I'm not overly particular about RGB and associated glitz. What matters most to me is functionality. Alas, kids these days.. Blondie wants all red fans, but her pseudo-goth girl proclivities also pull her toward purple. Admittedly, I am personally drawn to subtle blue highlights — nothing glaring, no flashing, no disco tyvm. I'm just not big on RGB. So, she's gettin the remote control unit.

Good afternoon Scannerman.

Nothing below 4°C in my forecast, even by night, for the next couple of weeks.

Maybe I'm getting old, but the only lighting effects I appreciate on my machines is a soft white back light for the keyboard

She sounds a bit like me. *LOL*

I am blonde (even i have red hair right now) blue eyes, metal/goth style, and i like purple.

Has she blue eyes too?

Anything above °C is a bonus up here this time of year. Yeah, I'm much the same. A little functional illumination is fine for me. When I'm using my PC I'm not staring at the case, I'm looking at my monitor. I've never understood the fascination for the distraction of RGB and flashing lights. I will say that the really tiny LEDs that actually INDICATE specific functions can have some esthetic value but those actually mean something and are hardly distracting. I have an LSI HBA card that uses those. It doesn't blast me with flashes capable of generating epileptic seizures. Not implying that I'm epileptic but good grief! Some of these newer builds...

And she knows computers... I almost feel like she might become the next generation of me. *LOL*

nope. She's the other other daughter. She knows psychology, literature, and gaming. She's already approved to take her BA in psychology at the same university as my other daughter. She's very quiet, reserved, and studious. Her idea of fun is reading a good book or winning a game. She thinks most people are idiots and one of her main reasons for her interest in psychology is to understand why so many people are idiots.

:::shrugs::: I tried to talk her into pursuing literature but to no avail.

Okay.. But psychology is an interesting subject.. But i had no interest to have that as work.. But it is interesting as you get to understand why some people react as they do and others dont.
And to understand why most people is idiots.. that might become a lifetime work.

as that is a subjective layer that is different from peoples point of view and from person to person.
So one idiot is another persons normal just from the point of view.. and the other way around when you ad objectivity into the analyze. And she will find that out when she start to study.

and to know this topic can make you a darn good diplomat and negotiator.

Edit:
And it can make her future husband totally toasted as she will know how to push the right buttons with psychology to get her will.*LOL*

Oh, don't all women know how to do that...? :ROFLMAO:

Yeah,

but with psychology used in long term diplomacy and negotiations, you can make others to think it was their own idea, even we put the seed in their head first... and that is pure evil in some cases as its also called intentional manipulation.... You can say psychology and AI is similar... it is as good tool as it is an bad tool.. it depends on how it is used.

Edit.. This is a good thing to know if you are a red-team hacker, as social engineering is a big part of how you get in.. you have to get to know the target and analyse an approach that that person will respond positive on and then make the mistake you need to get in.

I use to love seeing snow. Hardly ever see any these days.
I occasionally had nights when I just could not fall asleep, fortunately they're rare these days.

So I am not alone with getting up earlier today then. I'm glad you got what you got up earlier for.

Good morning Marie.

Good luck with your errands, I hope they're worth the TKO.
It's an errands day for me too, I'm about to take a 56 mile (90km) round trip to Mini Spares to pick up some parts.

I dont have time for it as i need my energy elsewhere.. but its a HasTo, so i have no choice.

That is a trip for pick up parts.

I hope and wish you a nice and smooth trip
