Hi, first time posting. I've recently started experimenting with building electrical circuits, and I'm having an issue for which I can't find an explanation. Still not completely familiar with the terminology so I apologize in advance for saying something dumb.
Backstory: I have finally started giving some use to my RPi clone's GPIO pins and put together some kind of "starter kit". Bought a multimeter , a breadboard, some wires, resistors, LEDs, transistors, etc. I've wired stuff both in series and in parallel, 5v and 3.3v. I confess I felt proud for not having blown a single LED (more on that shortly) even after having set up a PWM-controlled LED circuit and a LED controller (with a SN74HC595 chip) circuit (... although I did blow one of the multimeter's fuses... oops?).
What got me into all this was mainly the fact that I want to build a simple motion tracker gadget to use as a camera controller for flight simulation (more info here). This would require me to build a circuit that could handle 3 IR LEDs. Nothing too difficult amirite? I've wired up LEDs dozens of times during the last two weeks, this should be a piece of cake... Or that's what I thought until I tried to actually get an IR LED to light up.
I bought 10 IR LEDs (SFH 485 P - 880nm, 1.5v forward voltage, 100mA forward current). The thing with IR light is that you can't see it. So I assembled a circuit, opened up my phone's camera... and no light at all. Hmm. "Maybe this LED is defective, let's try another one. Still nothing??". I was starting to believe I was blowing them up for no obvious reason. "Does my phone have some kind of IR filter? Let's check the TV remote. Yup, those LEDs just aren't lighting up."
Alright, time to get methodical. Assume those two LEDs are gone, toss them asside. Let's try another one with a higher resistor. Nope. Next, nada. I even considered the possibility I was blowing the LEDs as soon as I took them out of the bag with my body's static electricity alone. I keept going through the LEDs, experimenting with different components - like for example a diode (because I was getting shocked from "ground" lmao), or using 2x1.5v batteries instead of the 5v/3.3v rails. Measure here, take a note there. There was a point I noticed something weird: my multimeter was reading a much higher voltage across each LED than what I was pulling from Vcc: 9v from a 5v source, for example. Tried my PWM setup. Got my phone to record the moment I connected the LEDs so I could at least see them blowing up, and I didn't see anything blowing up. After having troubleshooted as far as my abilities allow me, I got to the point where I used a photoresistor to make sure the LEDs weren't E-ing any amount of light.
​
TL;DR: Ten IR LEDs I bought. Ten IR LEDs I'm pretty sure don't work. WTH.
Since I assume no one will be able to help me with the problem at hand, I'm back to my original question: what could be the reasoning for a (broken) 1.5v LED to drop 9v when connected to a 5v source?

Been out of the gaming world for over a decade, just getting back into it. I don't expect to play the latest games that use heavy specs but slightly older games are good enough. I'm a fan of NFS Games, Flight Simulator, Any FPS Games and Stealth Games like Hitman. I also have plans to upgrade RAM to 16GB in time to come
​
Appreciate recommendations

I already have down 3 projects; an Eventbrite-esque social event planner that I created for my Capstone, a DJ board emulator, and my personal website. These are my top three projects which I feel the most proud of. To fill the void of the fourth I have a few more that I created and they include:

• A Messenger app
• A live weather app
• A basic music player
• A drawing app which simulates Microsoft Paint
• An app to check for and restore internet connectivity

I do plan on including most of them in my website but for my resume itself, which would help me stand out the most?

Every year we get the SOT, ESO, FO 76, Flight Simulator, etc trailers and I get it because you want to update those communities about updates, but do you think it drags down the shows? I'm conflicted. I do think if SOT or ESO have updates you could easily drop that separately, but these conferences are where most of your audience is watching so I get why they include them. I just think people want to ee new shit.

I am wondering if I got the standard edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, well I be able to fly from any airport in the world. Like is there a default version for airports other than the hand crafted ones.
​
I wanted to actually try Dubai International airport (Needs premium edition to get the hand crafted version). But is it present in the standard version as auto generated / default version?
​
I feel its a waste to get the Premium version since it costs a lot and I'm not that heavy of a sim player.

Hello everyone
I have been going around thinking about upgrading my GPU.
Currently I play at 1440P with a 5600x and a 2070 Super with 32GB RAM
I play Microsoft Flight simulator and a few shooting games.
So what should I upgrade to?
3070TI or 4070?

Hey there, fellow Redditors!
I'm in need of a talented graphic designer to create a unique logo and overlays for my YouTube and Twitch channels, both of which are dedicated to gaming. My brand is called "A Thousand Realities," and I mainly focus on playing NASCAR Simulators, Formula 1 Simulators, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Resident Evil.
I'm looking for a design that incorporates elements from these games and simulators, representing the immersive experiences and diverse worlds I explore. The logo should capture the excitement and thrill of racing, the futuristic ambiance of Cyberpunk 2077, and the sense of adventure in flight simulation.
To ensure that your style aligns with my vision, I kindly request any interested designers to provide examples of their previous work before placing a bid. This will give me a better understanding of your skills and allow me to choose the best fit for my brand.
If you're interested in this project, please leave a comment or send me a direct message with your portfolio or examples of your work. Feel free to mention your rates as well. I appreciate any and all responses!
Looking forward to working with one of you talented designers soon!
Cheers.

I'm undecided about GPU. I want to play the flight simulator game and I do use Topaz Video Enhance AI. I had the 4070 Ti before on a prebuilt and it was good with that. I was happy with it.
I'm thinking about the 4070 Ti or the 4080. These are the total prices for the following:

• 4070 Ti $880 [new with tax]
• 4080 FE $1000 [Used from OfferUp]
• 4090 FE $1720 [new with tax]

A 4090 would be nice, but that's a lot of money. What would you choose?
