the best way to find out if the gpu is the problem is to remove it and try another one. process of elimination is great. if you don't want to dig around in your case once or twice more then you might as well just accept resetting the bios every time you power on the comp as your new reality.

i don't really care about talking to animals.... however this kind of thing seems like it could be used to understand potential changes in their health. Pretty much anyone that's had a sick pet has felt the frustration of not being able to simply ask them "what's wrong?"

i'm extremely impressed cooking up this wall spaghetti processor has gone on this long and they still can't show us anything that stuck. it's straight vaporware. they've set a target beyond the most remote of fantasies and aren't afraid to drop a lawsuit on whoever they get to help them as soon...

"published November 12, 2024" Yet written as though Zen 3 is latest and greatest...

That checks out. All my stuff is scripts: python, pwsh and bash, so i don't have to deal with compilation, but interpreters spit out errors just fine too. i've found that while AI can write around 80% of the code, it's only managed to do 20% of the work.

PCIe x4 slot works as well.

Disregard that advice. The only pro is it doesn't need an M.2 slot so you won't need to get a PCIe adapter. But the adapters are less than $10. I've got one sitting on my workbench right now to add an NVMe ssd to an older system I'm updating. 2.5" sata SSDs are a dying breed and their quality...

That's what i've been seeing, but i can never tell if it's actually profitable to host an LLM service like that or if it's more of an attempt to show results for all the money being burned to get there. I've always been a bit cautious about what I send to LLMs since it's all logged and ended...

Nah, punishment for actually putting comp in freezer is a wireless mouse with just enough signal strength to only work if you leave the door cracked.

Teamgroup's Vulcan Z SSDs are where it's at if you want some good cheap TLC NAND. They usually cost less than competing QLC drives like Crucial's BX500 while performing better. I've got an MX500 from when they first came out and used it across multiple systems over the years as a boot drive...

A friend randomly gave me the extra access key he got from the supporter's pack so abandoning all dignity and begging profusely seems legit. PoE2 is the only ARPG I've tried so nothing to compare against. It's fun for a bit but quickly got grindy af, and not in a good way. I suspect part of it...

Yes, you can absolutely do this. You could also buy a small freezer and keep your computer in there and run some wires out to a display and keyboard. Or immerse it in a chilled dielectric fluid. But I strongly recommend that you do not do any of those. Peltier seem incredible for computer...

As soon as I saw "50 hour Lan party" I was reminded of the South Korean man who died from playing Starcraft for 50 hours straight.

So... They figure out how to make money off AI yet? It's kinda like a gold rush, the only people that get rich are the ones selling picks and shovels and GPUs.

I ended up grabbing a Voodoo 3 at the time. I was coming from a riva128, which I found underwhelming at best, but the main reason I got the Voodoo was Glide. It had broad support and ran great. I had several games that required Glide to have hardware acceleration, with software rendering as the...
