    bover21 reacted to QuantumSingularity in GPU Upgrade for a recent build   
    As experiences go, they are extremely personal things, but here is mine. I've switched from EVGA GTX 1070 to RX 6900XT, bought 2nd hand for $500 back in March this year. At first i really was bumped i couldn't get an RTX 3000 GPU, because of how insanely expensive they were and still are btw, but thought to myself, "well, it is what it is". Initially there was some settling in time, but in less than a week i was already completely comfortable with all the menus and the settings. The experience with the AMD Adrenalin center VASTLY surpasses the one with the Nvidia Control Center. Especially when it comes to multi monitor configuration, driver updates and stability. No more game braking driver releases, which force me to roll back to 18 months old drivers, no more random screen flickers or turning a random monitor off and on again w/o reason, messing with my entire desktop setup. The last time i used DDU was when i switched the GPUs and wanted the old Nvidia drivers completely gone. So for more than 8 months now, i've been only updating drivers with performance only getting better, never for once going backwards or using DDU. With my Nvidia GPU every 2 months or so i'd have to uninstall the "new" driver via DDU, because it broke one of my games (most often ETS 2 or Cities: Skylines), install some older version which i know works fine and do all my desktop and monitor arranging again.
    I also build PCs as a side-job and in 99% of the cases the all AMD systems i've built require basically no further interaction from me, while with the Nvidia GPUs, there is always something which granted is minor, but still needs me to spend 30 mins traveling to the client, fixing it in less than 5 minutes (like NVCP deciding that the 165Hz they have no longer can display more than 100Hz) and traveling back home for another 30 minutes, only to repeat that for the same or similar issue in 2-3 weeks. I am now at this point where i actively refuse to build a system with an Nvidia where the person who is gonna use it, doesn't know how to deal with the basic GPU settings like DDU, driver rollback and NVCP settings. 
    The only negatives i have against the AMD software is the lack of HDR capture, which forces you to use programs like OBS and the lack of AV1 encoding for the older than the 7000 series GPUs. Other than that, it's been absolutely buttery smooth experience.

    A fun challenge,
     
    And nice work, but your code can be improved in a number of ways.
     
    You also implemented your own search function for an array, nice practice but javascript already has a prototype for this .indexOf(). It is good you want to code and try new things, but it is also not needed to reinvent the weel.
     
    In your code you also use a lot of "magic numbers", you should always try to prevent that as much as possible, because if you look back at it after a while you don't know what all the numbers are and what they do. Also what numbers do you need to change if all of a sudden your alphabet changes. If the variable is a property of another object just use that like the array length in this case.
     
    I found it an interesting challenge so I had a go at it myself, I created a function for the shift of the characters, this allows you to uses this part of the projects in others if need be. It also allows you to easily expand it. In my case I made it so it can take any shift, positive or negative.
     
    The while loops allows for shifts larger than the length of the array. There are other/better ways to do this but I kinda forgot that it was an option to have larger numbers and this way I only needed to change out if for while.
     
    This code also solves the problem with spaces, because spaces aren't in the alphabet the function just returns the character.
     
    const Charset = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z"]; const CharShift = 13; function shift(input, shift) { let i = Charset.indexOf(input); if(i === -1) { return input; } let pos = i + shift; while(pos >= Charset.length) { pos -= Charset.length; } while(pos < 0) { pos += Charset.length; } return Charset[pos]; } function rot(str) { console.log(str); let output = ""; for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) { output += shift(str[i], CharShift); } console.log(output); } rot("SERR PBQR PNZC");

    bover21 got a reaction from G1K777 in Javascript How can I use a function in a function?   
    Like this?
    function test(func) { if (typeof func !== "function") { return; } for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { func(i); } } test(function(x) { console.log(x); }); It is really just what duncannah said, but with a small expansion. If this is not what you are looking for you should describe your problem more clearly. And also why you want to use it in this specific way.

    Also @LinusTech on your S9 go to dev options and show CPU usage to get an overlay.
     
    This is non-root but more importantly the fact that you mention its draining no more when using than idle means the app or service that is running is most likely running non-stop and you might be able to catch it. I have used this in the past to find out what is eating away your battery life. 
     
    Yes, you wont be able to see it when the phone is locked (maybe with AOD??) but it will lead you towards the right direction.

    i vote the freesync ultrawide. appears that the freesync range is 50-144hz so it should have LFC as well. however bear in mind that the PPI will be a bit low so you may notice the pixels depending on your vision and viewing distance

    I just wanted to say Thumps for the CES coverage this year. You guys really had your stuff together this year and the videos were way more like a regular LTT video. The shots of the products were all beautiful and sound quality was amazing. Overall amazing job.

    I hope others agree on this with me.
