The card is rated for 180 watts. It has a single 8 pin power connector, which means the maximum it could possibly draw is 225W. Pick a power supply that will provide that plus whatever the rest of the computer draws. I would suggest oversizing the power supply a bit so you don't use more than about 75% of it's rated output.
I haven't had any issues with my RX 6700 XT. It works great for games and CAD. I've never gotten the video encoding working though. I think it needs the proprietary drivers.
My newest PC only supports PCIe 3.0. My SSDs are still plenty fast, at least until they start thermal throttling.
When I used dial-up, local calls were free.
I used packet writing for a while when I got my first DVD-RW drive. A few years later, multi gigabyte flash drives became affordable and there was no need to mess with DVD-RWs anymore.
It's an important thing to have in an emergency. The remaining cell towers will probably be overloaded, but you will likely still be able to hear an FM broadcast station to find out if you need to evacuate and where to go.
I don't think a mobile version would be practical, they don't have enough processing power. Blender needs a high end PC.
Switch to IPv6 only and the port scans will go away. The address space is so big that port scanning is difficult, so the usual bots don't bother.
If a laptop has a dedicated GPU, it's not low end.
I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.
This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
There's a browser addon that lets you disable auto translation.
