  • This is totally not the intent of buildapc, but if you’re willing to go ITX, I’ve been meaning to sell some “old” parts through the hardwareswap Discord. If you’re interested (and in USA :)) it may save you some money to go for a higher end GPU.

    I have:

    • Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming ITX/ac. Works with up to 5000 series CPUs with a BIOS update
    • Ryzen 3400G (about 10-15% slower in CPU benchmarks)
    • 2 x 8 gb 3200 MHz Samsung B-die RAM


  • runawaycorvid@rammy.sitetoCoffee@lemmy.worldIs coffee good for you?

    Short version: yes. As long as sugar and other junk isn’t added. Generally any intake of coffee has benefits over none; and 3-4 cups a day of coffee seemingly the sweet spot. Coffee intake should be minimal/none if pregnant. In general, we don’t have the highest quality studies for coffee/health because it’s really hard to have a double-blinded study. Most are just observational and retrospective in nature. More studies are still needed on the topic.

    Here’s a meta analysis (review of many studies) from the British Medical Association. I removed some wording to shorten their conclusion. https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5024

    Coffee consumption was more often associated with benefit than harm for a range of health outcomes […] with summary estimates indicating largest relative risk reduction at intakes of three to four cups a day versus none, including all cause mortality (relative risk 0.83, 95% confidence interval 0.83 to 0.88), cardiovascular mortality (0.81, 0.72 to 0.90), and cardiovascular disease (0.85, 0.80 to 0.90). High versus low consumption was associated with an 18% lower risk of incident cancer (0.82, 0.74 to 0.89). Consumption was also associated with a lower risk of several specific cancers and neurological, metabolic, and liver conditions. Harmful associations were largely nullified by adequate adjustment for smoking, except in pregnancy […] There was also an association between coffee drinking and risk of fracture in women but not in men.
