Fixing a loud PSU fan without dying

Three months after I built my new computer, it started annoying me. There would occasionally be a noise that sounded like a fan was catching on a cable, but there weren’t any loose cables to be a problem. Over the course of a few weeks, the sound got progressively worse to the extent that I didn’t want to use the computer without headphones on. I measured the sound at 63 dB, which is about the sound of someone talking. That may not sound terrible, but it’s a constant, nasty noise coming from som

CarPlay connection issues? This might explain why

If your Apple CarPlay connection randomly drops out while driving, the cause might not be your iPhone, cable, or car. Radio interference, of all things, could be the cause of your troubles. An Axios report from this year details a peculiar phenomenon in Boston, where drivers lose their CarPlay or Android Auto connection at the exact same spots. Similar “dead zones” are likely in other cities, though they may go unreported. CarPlay units don’t handle GPS navigation on their own. Instead, they

Matter and Form Three 3D Scanner Review: Easy Scans

As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way to get a full-resolution 3D model of a part without spending hundreds of hours learning 3D modeling or thousands of dollars on a high-resolution 3D scanner.
