I'm big into AI but hate watching a youtuber when I suddenly realise their script is pure AI garbage, that they didn't even edit out the 'quietly's or the the kickers.THE KICKER is forever ruined. I hate it. The kicker can quietly get bent.

I loved this era of games. Caesar 3 was a favorite. And of course RCT1.

A freakin ray cat! This is epic. Thank you for sharing, this has made my day infinitely better.

"A ray cat[a] is a proposed kind of cat that would be genetically engineered to change appearance in the presence of nuclear radiation."

Interactive chart of the results on the site linked, plus video: https://youtu.be/bsWA6-_7qJM

I also realised that many "40Gbps" cables will do "80Gbps" speeds just fine.

Tests include:

- Resistance with Alientek OA1 (not sold in western markets yet, I got as a test unit)

- Data Speed with 80Gbps OWC Enclosure and DiskMark on a Macbook Pro M5

- eMarker read (screenshots on the site)

- Thermals after 30 minutes at 100% Power on ATorch USB Load Tester.

I also did a quick summary of my conclusions on 6 USB Testers (see video). Alientek C2, C0, ATorch T3, Fnirsi C2, Witrn K2, Power-Z KMC003C

I hope you find useful.
