I remember iCue from the previous Corsair based PC. Yeah, that can fuck off as well. Will it initialise at boot? Will it remember to turn the pump on? Who knows!
Anything I get in the future will be HW stand-alone or supported by OpenRGB.
This is the sort of shit that happens when someone naively asks an LLM help with building their first computer.

I run a Windows 11 paravirtualised VM for that so I can set lighting etc on my keyboard as I wasn't aware at the time it was required to do anything with it.
Otherwise, the modern Windows desktop can fuck off into the sea for my needs.
That's a lovely amount of copper there. You can probably accurately date it based on how the world economy was doing at the time.
Legit know at least two people who still dress like that out of work inc the Zelda t-shirt.
Screenshot of the Arcade Manual Archive website arcadeRTFM.com (dark mode) showing detailed technical specifications for the classic Sega Out Run arcade machine (sitdown/upright Rev B, 1986). The page includes hardware specs (2x Motorola MC68000 @ 10 MHz, Zilog Z80 @ 4 MHz), raster horizontal display (320ร224 at 60.05 Hz), audio chips (YM2151 OPM and Sega PCM), controls (1 player, steering paddle, pedal, 1 button, 2 coin slots), a full DIP switch settings table for coin credits, cabinet type, demo sounds, time adjustment and difficulty, plus links to downloadable service manuals and schematics. Site header reads 'ARCADE MANUAL ARCHIVE' with stats 7,821 machines and 2,405 service manuals; search term 'out run' is active.
I radically improved arcadeRTFM.com this week. It's now a fully indexed archive of arcade repair/operator manuals plus schematics. It has details for 7,800+ arcade machines and 2,400+ manuals. You can search by game, manufacturer, year or even chip! Share it wherever you think it might be useful.
Quite enjoying the driving through the woodland like someone following an out of date TomTom that's lost its GPS signal. More of that in games!
"Murder, but with extra steps"
Definitely pushing boundaries for what should be possible on a C64!
Why wait for it to be out of support? Switch to Linux today.
Better than the fucking SEGA power supplies I would imagine.
Wishing a happy necromancy to those who celebrate
Works for me. You do need to run your iron hot enough to let it mix, then it is plain sailing for desoldering.
The emotions conveyed in Wile E.'s face along with the delay before the dust cloud emerges from his impact is comedic genius.
Clock cap on the 1.6 *can* fail but it's less of a common occurrence as on the lower revisions where it will be a certainty.
Get some high bismuth solder from AliExpress. Makes this stuff a breeze. No need to heat the ground plane to thermal nuclear temps or risk collapsing vias.
Could just mean they're not charging ยฃ10 an episode extra for DLC weapons and armour.
They swap product lines to a less heat tolerant over number of running hours Nichicon after the initial revision. You also have the clock cap (super capacitor) issue spilling out onto the board on all but the very last revisions.
Not a console that takes age in its stride sadly.
The left one looks like it's about to split and multiply again!
There is a poetic irony there.
That is some of the funniest yet also tragic things I've heard in tech.
At long last I have now marked Gamecube shells, gamecube accessories, and gameboy player shells back in stock.
