Heat pipes look fine from the angle shown. My main concern would be the connection from the heat pipes to the cold plate. Looks like there was enough torque to potentially break them free.
Well if Trump gets his way and the US leaves NATO, then by definition the US would be 3rd world country. So long as he doesn't align with the Soviets, since they're 2nd world.
Spousal abuse is only one concern, also parent/child coercion (you're an adult now, you can't live in my house unless you vote the way I want). Another would be buying votes, and using the "receipt" to collect payment.
Couple years ago I wouldn't have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn't room for expansion cards
Jonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.
matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.

I only use it for reviews of products or answers to questions about Linux. But the Linux community is getting stronger here on Lemmy
