any guesses as to why computer fairies doesn't group push notifications anymore? seems related to the web view lagging a lot whenever i get a push notification, it boops, freezes for a few seconds, pushes the notification, then unfreezes

if i clear chrome cache it starts grouping them again and not lagging for a day or so, then the problem starts again, and the longer i go without clearing computerfairi.es' cache on my phone to longer it freezes for every notification

well, pc still working fine with the old psu, sent in a rma request for the new one

i'm wondering if it could be my usb desk lamp being on all night causing power failures..? could it be drawing too much and that caused the mobo to die first, and now the new psu? can't tell, no idea, wild guess. leaving it unplugged for now. should get one of those usb power meter displays.

there's no easy way to see my posts from like a month ago, huh?

everything plugged back in, beeps fine, drives seek, left it running for a while without incidents

so the new psu is a bust i guess?

do i trust the old one?

but then again it had been working with this psu since April, the psu is from 2011, it doesn't heat up or make weird noises, though i don't have an oscilloscope to tell if the power is clean or not

i did give it a good clean when i had it open back when the pc last failed though, and now the fan hardly ever even kicks in since i did that, which is a good sign?

only thing I'm worried about though is, remember how this mobo failed before? what if it was the PSU that caused that failure? what failure was it? will it happen again?

at the very least this time if i need to send the PSU back for a RMA i have two 500+ watt PSUs i can replace it with so no going without computer today

flip psu switch off and on: doesn't work
swap power cables with old psu to all but the drives: works
swap power cables back to new psu to all but drives and gpu: works
continue adding power cables from new psu to drives and gpu: doesn't work
remove power cables from all but mobo and cpu again: still doesn't work
