Reminds me of the RTX 2060 KO edition a specific AIB brand did for Nvidia (maybe it was Zotac, too?). It was designed to be a regular 2060 except it used a very cut down die from a 2080 Ti.
Gamer's Nexus did a video on it several years ago (pre-pandemic, I'm sure) and they tried overclocking it to see its potential. If I recall correctly they were able to push it beyond what a regular 2060 could do, but only in certain situations.
I wonder if this will be a similar story.

Sure, but it's a start. It's certainly better than trying to keep them on my laptop. And I do hope to add more forms of data backup/storage as time goes on. It's taken several hours ripping all those games and I'd hate to lose them all.
I also have an external 4 TB SSD that I keep most of the games on (excluding the PS4 games because they simply take up too much space).

That's what I've been doing. Been collecting various PS1-4 games on top of GameCube, Wii, and Switch games over the past year to rip and save digital copies for myself. Then I play them on emulators.
I have roughly a few hundred so far and plan to expand it further.
I have a NAS with two 8 TB drives in RAID to back them up and it's already over 50% full. I want to start collecting OG Xbox and 360 games in the near future, but I need to get jailbroken consoles for them.

It's a classic. Sadly, I couldn't find it. I think I first saw it in 2012-13.

I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I've been tempted to get a set for it because I think it'd be funny.

Edit: I've also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED's into the nuts so they'll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

I thought those were called poultrygeists

I believe Atlas Pro did a video on it one time. I'll go check.

Edit: Yep

Been noticing the same thing, but I use All for my feed.

I am in this picture. I excelled in school almost all years and graduated in the top ten of my high school class. Then I went to an engineering school and got my ass handed to me. I managed to graduate after 5 years, but it was a struggle and my GPA was noticeably worse than high school.

Your collection of toy cars reminded me that I loved Hot Wheels as a kid in the '90s and early '00s. And I would often have to get more whenever we went to the store. Or at the very least see what they had. Luckily they were cheap so my parents were ok getting 1 or 2 each time.
I was also really good at remembering what ones I already had, so I knew at the store what ones I didn't have.
It's been a long time since I counted, but I amassed over 300 cars by the time I grew out of them.
