  1. Past hour
  2. im curious if the usbc on mobos can output display with the igpu or not
  3. Why did you buy extensions instead of Type 4 replacement cables?
  4. I'd love to see you guys cover the Micron SLS Printer when it becomes available. If the videos are to be believed, could be the "next big thing" for hobbyist 3d printing if the technology continues to get cheaper. https://www.youtube.com/@micronics3d
  5. If you wan't to maximise your budget I would be something with HDR100 or HDR1400 https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#hdr=1000,1400&sort=price&page=1
  6. Sooo... desktop it is! I haven't quite locked down what I'm going to build, but it finally hit me that I could spend $2k on building a desktop from the ground up and still have enough money to buy a Steam Deck for the occasional on the go gaming for the price that I'd pay for a 7i though I'd probably have gone with the 9i mainly due to the screen.
  7. It has been nonstop cold with snow and rain for over a week now.

    And becaus it was very warm before that, all the fruit trees are flowering, and said flowers are now freezing off or not pollinated.

    Very annoying, we had 25° before, now we get -2-10°.

  9. in fairness, it only needs 50 signatures for an MP to see it. its not a high bar to clear, given the nature of most of these petitions
  10. My thoughts are that it's pretty impressive. I know that on AMD Linux offers more FPS. I never checked about latency though, so I find it pretty interesting and wanted to share.
  11. I was messing around with some overclocking on my CPU and GPU and i was getting a couple of blue screens so I went into by BIOS to set everything to default, but when I got back into windows everything was super choppy/freezing constantly, sometimes the screen will go completely black and won't come back until I restart my PC. I was running Windows 11 at the time and I remembered having to enable stuff in by BIOS to get windows 11 so I thought me resetting it had something to do with it, but even after installing windows 10 back on my machine and reinstalling it multiple times i still have this issue. Things I have tried: Going back to Windows 10 and even reinstalling it multiple times Updating Bios Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and it came up with nothing Reinstalled Windows on differen.t Drive Windows has no problems booting and after i reinstall windows the issue seems to go away temporarily, but after some time it goes back to being choppy and the screen going black. I have noticed that the issue only appears again after installing my graphics drivers but i haven't tested if it's a time based thing or the issue only actually comes when installing the drivers. I also haven't noticed any issues with temperatures either so I don't really know what the issue is My Specs: Ryzen 5800x Asus TUF x570 Pro Wifi Asus TUF 3080 OC V2 32 GB XPG D60G RAM ASUS STRIX 850G
  12. Where are the best places to buy new phones outright in BC/Vancouver/Online etc? When I was looking at buying phones outright in stores like London Drugs, the same phone is much cheaper on Amazon.ca Is there a reason for this? Just looking to buy something low-end or mid-range for my parents and get them on a BYOP plan.
  13. Perhaps https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/Gm88TW/samsung-odyssey-g70b-320-3840-x-2160-144-hz-monitor-ls32bg702enxgo or https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/GzWzK8/gigabyte-m28u-280-3840x2160-144-hz-monitor-m28u-sa?history_days=730 First one is 32" second one 28". Both have IPS panels.
  14. Since the ntfs3 driver is now built into the kernel (compared to the old fuse based ntfs3g driver) NTFS is my filesystem of choice for "shared partitions". Before that I used ext4 and the Ext2Fsd driver in windows, but modern ntfs3 is better. That said the Ext2Fsd is fine if you need to occasionally access a primarily linux drive in windows. exFAT was always a shitshow for meaningful usage.
  15. Bro I didn't study to give quotes for free From my side of things doing that is bound to make you lose a job. Clients ALWAYS cheap out even if it's $10 difference between someone who does a half-assed job and a pro doing things right, they'll go for the cheapest one. It's like clients who say "whoa seriously $400 (made up) to install some lights" and don't realise they're paying for the knowledge and effort, not the lights. The electrician knows what lights to install, where, the wires that are needed and how to run them, etc. Taking a call to give a quote could mean missing on another job and money, it's not a free service.
  16. Today
  17. iirc the big flaw was placing the phasers on the last circuit to get oil pressure. I dunno if thats still an issue. At this point most those trucks have rotted away. Actually thinking about it, its a bad time to be a modern pushrod fanboy. It seems like suppliers for lifters are really slacking. Hemis, current gen 5.3, 7.3 godzilla all have lifter/cam issues. The godzilla 7.3 is a pretty impressive engine but I still think I'd go for the 6.7 if getting a full size. I have no idea about current gen dirtymax reliability.
  18. Sadly not seen by diskpart...and it even freezes my laptop.

    Ugh, Microsoft! I got so scared when I saw this…

  20. Maybe I bought one before, but I have no way to tell... counterfeit network equipment is a vast market. Why only network equipment?

  21. managed to finally back up my moms old music library and 2000+ family photos i guess one benfit of annoying software like this is that it was backing up the entire pcs photo collection? so ive got this snapshot of our family PC circa 2010 heres my dope ass race bike in 2006 i used to do dirt bmx racing as a kid, that fucker ripped theres actually some family photos we thought were lost, like when we went to jordan
  22. There are ample youtube videos about it. I also suggest looking into zerotier. I just started using it. It is extremely useful. You will need some networking knowledge.
  23. Thank you for the feedback. As a general rule, I create VM backups for Ubuntu, LM, and Zorin on my Synology NAS. I only set up VMs for Windows 10, 11 and Server 2022 for work related testing. When the final ISO release for Ubuntu 24.04, I will create a new virtual machine. I prefer a fresh installation over OS upgrades. I suspect that over the next few months, Ubuntu will be making improvements to performance. Unfortunately, now it appears that the current beta is quite slow in comparison to Ubuntu 22.04 and 23.10.
  24. LightScribe is cool tech, I didn't realize it took that long to put the image onto a disc. I think a few of my old drives support LightScribe, I should try it out sometime.
