Also quick question, what [tag] should I put in the title for troubleshooting? Thank you

Issue: pc does not display with upgraded cpu

Build/parts available:

• Asrock b550 phantom gaming (PG) velocite. Updated bios to v3.4. its PDF manual linked here
• Amd ryzen 5 5600x, trying to upgrade it from a ryzen 3 of the 3000 series. Both are AM4. The ryzen 5 requires a gpu for display, the ryzen 3 has integrated graphics
• 1060 gpu (temporary, eventually going to be replaced with a secondhand Nvidia gpu, possibly 2070)
• HDMI cords available atm only
• 750w psu
• 2x16 ddr4 (~2800 or so) ram

Sorry for some of the imprecision here. It's a fam's pc, and I could get the part #s later as suggested.

When powering on pc with the ryzen 5 cpu, all fans spin (even the gpu's), all rgb lights turn on, but nothing displays through the gpu. There is a red led display showing changing 2-character codes during boot; it stops and hangs on code F9 with the ryzen 5 cpu. This is ASROCK's Dr Debug code display to help diagnose issues. The manual for this particular mobo does not list F-series codes. The above build works fine and automatically outputs display through the 1060 with the ryzen 3 cpu installed.

Things I've checked:

• PSU is on, cables plugged in fully, all devices needing power cables (SSDs, mobo, cpu, gpu) are seated well
• Reseated gpu and ram. No change in outcome with ryzen 5 cpu.
• Updated drivers up the wazoo, windows 10 OS.
• CPU power pins on motherboard: only the 8 pin half is plugged in on the mobo. Pc does not power on with the additional 4pin socket plugged in for either cpu.
• Bios updated to version 3.4 to ensure 5000 series cpu should work with this mobo. Bios update flashed using the old CPU. The bios gave no error messages, and said it updated successfully. I don't remember what the old bios version was, but the power on process hung at Dr Debug code F9 for the ryzen 5 both before and after updating the bios. No display before or after bios update.
• Debug code F9: the only sources I've checked out so far were this one listing the codes and this one person with a similar code output.. I'm not sure what more to do with this information, unless I just try flashing the bios again? From v3.4 to v3.4 again? Idk? But it seems like a lead only because I have done so much physical troubleshooting already.
• Reset cmos by unplugging psu/turning off, and removing cmos battery and jumping the cmos-reset pins for a few minutes.
• Display output settings: checked if the BIOS settings had a setting to switch/force use of gpu for display; I found no such thing for this mobo. I couldn't tell if windows has any such feature, not that I think it would matter since the pc couldn't get to boot with the ryzen 5.

I've switched out the CPUs so many times trying different configurations, I'm down to the watery last of my thermal paste tube. I even loaned my AMD gpu, and we're getting the same outcome: lights and gpu/case fans working, debug code F9, & no display. I left the ryzen 3 in just to at least leave the pc in a working state. Before I drop by the store to pick up paste, I'd rather have an action plan.

Hoping someone has advice for things I haven't tried yet. Thank y'all for reading this far.

Edit: clarity, my bad

If there isn't yet, what're the challenges to overcome in making one?

Not that I can code, just hoping for at least a layman's understanding.

I don't know enough to check if this checks out, but I have enough faith in the lemmy community at this moment to believe someone will rush in to correct wrong information.

Preferably on the easier side, especially if 3D. I had a grand old time figuring out the openings in Deaths Door and am hopeful I can pick up Titan Souls soon. Is Another Crab's Treasure as decent for a warm up to soulslikes?

What I liked about Death's Door is that it was simple enough to figure out how to level up, maneuver, and time mechanics so that it didn't slow me down from discovering more of the world or progressing the plot. At first it felt too difficult, but lasting longer through the hard fights was actually fun. I felt a short sense of accomplishment getting through each major fight. And when I felt like I was hitting a brick wall, I had a way to enhance stats. I'm currently stuck practicing the boss fight on the umbrella challenge.

I've watched videos of Dark Souls, and I can tell it's not for me. In MHW, though it's not a soulslike, I'm forever stuck on Deviljho - I've never been able to solo it, only carried. @.@ 'just mentioning it for skill reference.

The original comment by [email protected]:

Dammit, yet another question that I spent too much of my life on.

It comes down to nervesand tissue (cell, not paper) types.

The outside of your nose and the tissues of the anus are not the exact same. There's a different concentration of "nerve endings", and different types in different concentrations.

I doubt you want the full Monty of it, but if you look up the term "sensory receptors", you can do the deep dive very easily.

The short version is that we have specific types of "nerve endings" (that's what they're called colloquially, hence the quote marks, but I'll stop using those at this point). They detect pressure, temperature, pain/injury, etc.

The concentrations of them (as in how many per square inch), and the assortment of them (as in how many of each type in that square inch) varies across the entire body. The easiest way to demonstrate the relative principle is to touch your fingertip to your nose, your lips, your genitals (seriously), and your leg.

You'll find that your brain interprets the signals in an interesting way. It'll filter the less intense signals. You touch your finger to your lip, what your brain "says" is that your lips are being touched by something, and the signal from your finger takes the back seat. You touch the same fingertip to your thigh your brain says the finger is the primary sensation, and you feel the thigh via the finger rather than the finger via the thigh the way the lips worked.

Give it a try on whatever parts of your body you want. There's going to be a shifting perception of whether it's your finger touching something ( where emphasis is placed on the signals from the finger), or it'll be the section of the body being touched by the finger (signal from the touched location being emphasized).

The anus and the nose have different jobs. The anus, mostly, needs to detect pressure, injury, and some degree of chemical contact the nose needs less pressure sensitivity, but more motion sensitivity. So you'll get a different overall sensation with any given substance that's pushed against either, and when the same substance is moved across either. The difference may end up being minor. But both are sensitive enough that most people can tell a difference between paper tissue products blindfolded.

Back in the day, I wiped asses for pay. The only patients I had that couldn't tell the difference between brands of TP had medical issues that interfered with nerve signals. Do a test for yourself. Find a buddy to hand you tp or facial tissues and keep a log (heh, he said log while talking about butts). There's a very good chance that every single one will feel different. You'll probably be able to tell which brand is which if you've used that brand before.

You can probably even tell the difference with your fingers tbh. But you wouldn't likely be able to if the same products were placed or rubbed on your back

You'd also notice that different objects will feel different when just placed on an area and pressed gently into the skin vs when you wipe the area with it.

Skin is an amazing thing. It's armor, a sensor array, a biological filter, sunscreen, and a temperature regulator all in one! Plus other functions tbh, but shit like that gets overwhelming to read for a lot of people

You'd be amazed what you can discover with just an hour sitting around and touching things to parts of your body.

Hi all! Either my Google fu is failing me, or such a cursor software might not have been done yet.

Is there a cursor-customizing software in which I can change the cursor image based on a .png/.gif file (or set of png files), and the image flips depending on movement direction in the X-axis? I kinda want to make a huge cursor, but don't want the image to get in the way of the direction the cursor is traveling.

And um, mint cinnamon btw?

If I'm an adult who wants to experience splashing around and wading round the pool, but whose swimming capabilities extend as far as doggy paddling to safety and floating on my back - what can I even do to have fun at the pool?

What do you do at the pool?

Bonus round: kind of out of my budget to pay for swimming classes, and available friends & family are nil. :c
But I borrowed a life jacket from a coworker, and could buy cheap floaties or a pool noodle.

SOLVED, with a huge thank you to [email protected]

Hiyo Librecalc pros. Hoping someone has an idea how to automate or minimize the steps for this. Or where should I start? I'm trying to automate transcribing a list from:
Closet_01
Cartridge123
Cartridge234
Garagenook_01
Cartridge456
Toolbox567
Toolbox789
Garagenook_02
Cartridge890

Into an array/table like:
Cartridge123, Closet_01
Cartridge234, Closet_01
Cartridge456, Garagenook_01
Toolbox567, Garagenook_01
Toolbox789, Garagenook_01
Cartridge890, Garagenook_02

I get it; I should just carry around a barcode list of all my shelf names and take turns between scanning the list, tabbing over on my phone, scanning a box, then tabbing back again. But... what if I want to be lazier and just scan things in an order and automate the rest later?

Is there a faster way than copy-pasting my way down?

I got as far as making an adjacent column with a formula to check for "_", then copying the location if "_" was found.

Short term: I'm trying to automate transcribing a list from:
A
123
234
B
456
567
789
C
345

Into an array/table
123, A
234, A
456, B
567, B
789, B
345, C

Long term answer I'm looking for: where's a lemmy community I can ask questions like this (like about using formulas in Librecalc/Onlyoffice suite/maybe VBA with them too) in the future?

Or, if not yet established on lemmy, recommended librecalc/Onlyoffice forums?

Thank you for your time.

Hope this is one of the next best places to post and be able to return to. Going to the spotify/meta hosted community forum isn't working out for me due to login issues on multiple browsers and difficulty finding a report like my problem. Typing in just "Jam not working" on their website didn't even bring slightly relevant results.

So, each time I click a link a friend shares with me to join their Jam (formerly known as Group Session), the spotify app opens. If opened earlier and not on my homepage, it switches to the homepage. If the app was closed before, it opens to my homepage. After either scenario, nothing happens. If I'm playing spotify music already, the app opens to my homepage, and the music keeps playing. If I initiated a Jam, then click my friend's invite link, it opens to the homepage, the music I had continues playing, it shows I'm still in my own Jam, and nothing else happens. No matter how long I wait for something to happen after the homepage shows up, my friend's jam never comes up on my screen.

In case this is relevant:

• Running android 13
• Spotify version 8.8.80.599
• VPN sometimes on, sometimes off, but same bug occurs either way. About a week ago, spotify would only open to show a message along the lines of "no internet connection", but it went away once VPN turned off.
• Logging in through fb account without issue, even after uninstalling/reinstalling the spotify app
• Subscribed with Premium Duo as main account manager (post edit: this fact was actually irrelevant)

Thank you for taking your time to read this post.

SOLVED: Spotify loathes VPNs, maybe? I haven't tested with a home VPN service. Consistently, I only get this problem when my phone is connected to VPN. The little key icon in the top-right appears when I'm connected one of my VPN services. I didn't pay close enough attention earlier. Also consistently, if I induce this error message, spotify jam only works after ensuring my VPN service is turned off (it could still be running, but as long as I'm not connected to vpn) AND I've swipe-closed spotify from my recent apps/task-switcher, then reopened the app.

Hi all. I'm trying to make my own twitch chatbot in the spirit of Linux DIY'ing and masochism; having my own bot's name is waaaaay cooler than a common bot with user-friendly UIs and their plethora of engaging and powerful features, apparently.

TL;DR: How do I min-max learning how to translate the Twitch API documentation for Node.JS? Exact questions at the bottom.

My progress so far on July 9, 2023:
I set up a bot successfully using this article but with tweaks: https://www.section.io/engineering-education/build-a-twitch-chatbot-in-nodejs/
Archive .org capture here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://www.section.io/engineering-education/build-a-twitch-chatbot-in-nodejs/

Changes:

• Skipped the streamyard stuff because, who cares, I have OBS
• I added identity tags under the connection configurations because I kept getting errors in my terminal that my bot couldn't write to chat anonymously (I've never seen anonymous chatting, why the hell is this in the suggested code). Connection config section of the .js file now looks like this:

const client = new tmi.Client({
options: { debug: true, messagesLogLevel: "info" },
connection: {
reconnect: true,
secure: true
},
identity: {
username: ${process.env.TWITCH_USERNAME},
password: oauth:${process.env.TWITCH_OAUTH}
},
channels: [${process.env.TWITCH_CHANNEL}]
});`

• Kind of nested (is that the right word?) in the switch section, I removed the entire "Upvote" and "Cheers" shenanigans because, for some reason with the suggested code in the article, it replied like "FireEmoji unknown_user unknown_user, you have been upvoted!" to every single line of chat, lmao. The bot would reply to "Watsup dorks" with something like "FiReEmOji @Watsup dorks, you have been upvoted!".
• Also kind of nested in the switch section, I added the random number generator example given in other people's tutorials around the internet and formatted it similarly to the article's method of checking messages like so:

// When user enters "!rolldice" in chat, bot returns random number between 1 and 20.
case '!rolldice':
client.say(channel, ${tags.username} rolled a ${Math.floor(Math.random()*20)+1}!);
break;

If you would like me to revisit that article's suggested code as-is and be more specific with my errors encountered, I'd be happy to oblidge upon request.

Questions I hope to answer someday:
How do I get my bot to see if a message has a hyperlink, then delete that message?
How do I set up a whitelist database of usernames for my bot to reference so they could post whatever links?
How do I get my bot to timeout people who have entered trigger words in chat?
How do I get my bot to change other chatters' name colors in chat?
What is the next best source of internet community I can go to for advice on Twitch API use? (It's July 2023 at the moment, and giving Reddit traffic to learn to make moderator bots is, IMO, a bit ironic). How can I learn to translate the Twitch API commands to javascript like this? Is there a library that can tell me in close-to-plain-english that explains things like "client.say() means this, this is how you can use it, and X things must be specified in these brackets for client.say" etc.?
