If you go for that card, then, just in case, consider getting yourself a GPU sag bracket.

I'm not sure if Gigabyte fixed it with this generation of AMD cards, but they've gotten into quite a controversy not that long ago over quality of their PCBs in 30th series Nvidia cards. Basically, they would crack too easily under their own weight, rendering them inoperable. Gigabyte then refused to cover them under warranty.

I believe Ubisoft considers these games as "life service," despite them effectively being single-player.

Kernel-level anticheats are specifically anti cheat. Although, if you take cheats to kernel level, they become anti-cheat in name only. For all the normal players out there, it is practically malware. No software ever should have permissions to track everything you do, see everything you have, and brick your OS just because.

You could argue it's implied that a-z sequence contains x. But I agree that it's a bit ambiguous.

Here's what a better notation would look like:

(1-x)(2-x)(3-x)...(n-x) for x from N

Or

(b0 - x)(b1 -x)(b2-x)...(bn-x)

This way, both Bn and X could be any number and not just natural ones.

My tipping point was YouTube serving the same one ad months on end to me.

I was fine with ads a decade ago. I tolerated them increasing the amount five-fold over the years. But that was borderline torture, and getting an adblock was the only working solution.

Yup, facts don't exactly matter in Russian courts. If the judge is working with prosecution (which they always do), there's practically no chance of you being acquitted. Your best case scenario is getting a suspended sentence.

That's why it's best to get a jury trial whenever possible. Your odds are way higher that way, but it's only possible to have it in some specific cases.

I agree that the gestures feel great (pretty much the only good part about this mouse imo), but why not just use a track pad instead?

Oh, yeah, that I agree with.

My head was at the "VR gaming" as a whole back when I was writing the comment.

Well, I've decided to check the financials of a couple of VR companies since your counterpoint sounded reasonable. The only one working at a loss is Meta. I could argue their business model is in Death Valley right now. After all, they have major capital expenses, which aren't easily covered unless you have a big userbase.

But that's their VR sector. Overall, Meta's profitable and can easily cover all the expenses several times over.

Also, what do you mean by "they have to dedicate several multi-person teams to manage the clients?" Firstly, who's "they," secondly, if I understood you right, that sounds prepostrous, unless you're talking B2B.

Well, Mojang's Minecraft in VR is dead. But that's kinda far from VR gaming as a whole, don't you think?

One symptom does not share the entire story.

Not to mention that there is a better alternative for it anyway.

Here's mine, that works outside of tech:

It's a great source for second opinions.

Say you want to make a CV, but you don't know where to even begin. You could give it a description of what you've been doing and ask it to help you figure out what jobs fit the skillset and how to present your skills better.

It's a good tool for such rough estimations that give you ground to improve upon.

This works well for planning or making up documentation. Saves a lot of time, with minimal impact to quality, because you're not mindlessly copying or believing the output.

I'm also considering it for assisting me in learning Japanese. Just enough to be able to read in it. We'll see how it does.

BSOD after CPU swap (self.pcmasterrace)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Mistic to c/pcmasterrace
 

I've swapped a CPU going from 5600g to 5900x, unfortunately the system seems to bluescreen from time to time (usually takes hours in-game, otherwise stable)

For some reason it gets slightly worse when I enable XMP. Significantly worse if I undervold the CPU even a bit. Temps go no further than 80-85C under full load.

Would appreciate your thoughts on potential reasons.

Specs:

  • 5900x
  • B550m DS3H (Swapping tomorrow to B550 Tomahawk)
  • 3600Mhz 2x16Gb Kingston Fury (2400mhz if JEDEC)
  • 6700xt Saphire Pulse
  • 750W Zalman GigaMax

Will also be reinstalling Windows after motherboard swap.
