  1. At least floatplane.com (when logged in) is using React (or at least react in SOME way) according to the react dev plugin.
  2. Hey all, I seem to be having the opposite of a typical thunderbolt dock problem. When my device - 2021 MacBook Pro in this case - is sleeping (or just locked, it seems) my dock will briefly cause my attached devices such as monitors and USB devices to be powered back up. This happens briefly and about every minute or so. The dock is from OWC, and they seemed to indicate this is expected behavior due to the nature of Thunderbolt being an active connection. I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a way to prevent this from happening? Failing that, is OWC support's assertion that this won't damage the devices correct? I'm concerned turning on briefly every 3-5 minutes will have a negative effect on my monitors. Thanks for any thoughts/assistance.
  3. This was all mostly in service of being ready for 11 as you likely guessed. I'm going to try to put off the upgrade myself as long as possible, but I hate having "to-dos" hanging over me and decided to at least get everything ready. I think my issue may have been I pushed buttons in the UEFI setup that I didn't understand and likely shouldn't have touched when I did the enabling of the TPM a few months back when I "started" the process. Thinking my foolishness was likely the reason I had difficulty finding answers. Would then hope that means others aren't running into this.
  4. Secure boot is enabled. Everything is set as it was when it was failing to post (with secure boot enabled). The reset to setup mode was specific to the secure boot settings. I ran that after clearing CMOS, restoring my previous working config, going through the steps to re-enable secure boot, and the last thing I changed was enabling that reset to setup option. It has been smooth sailing since with secure boot enabled. Also, hello fellow Wisconsinite.
  5. Maybe this is coincidence, or I broke something in such a way that it works, I don't know. But it's been successfully booting after 3 reboots now. There was an option to "Reset to setup mode" in UEFI. After selecting that and rebooting, things have been working fine.
  6. Correct no post, at least from what I can tell from the lack of beep codes. Fans spin, case lights come on. I came across posts about the GPU being an issue as well, but I expected to get a beep code for that. Is that incorrect? I’m on a 2080 so I sort of dismissed it as a problem that was seen with older cards. Maybe that was also incorrect of me as well? I’ll do some research on the gpu issue. Still unsure why it booted once.
  7. Hey all, Unfortunately, I've had very little luck googling for this issue, I assume because of the Windows 11 thing combined with my idiocy. Anyway, here it goes. I've got an AMD (Gigabyte x570 and 3900x) system with a pre-existing Windows 10 install (confirmed GPT). TPM is verified enabled. I enabled secure boot yesterday and the machine booted fine. Secure boot showed as enabled in system info. Went to boot this morning and no boot. I don't have LEDs to diagnose, but I do have a speaker on the board. No beep codes, no video output. Have I missed a step in the process that would have caused it to boot a single time, but not a second time? Maybe something with generating codes? I didn't grab screenshots, but I remember some kind of options there. Thanks very much for your time and patience, everyone.
  8. I had a chance to give this a try using the NVENC encoder, and unfortunately the same issue persists. Maybe streaming just isn't for me. Thanks anyway though!
  9. Thanks very much @Skiiwee29I'll try that straight away!
  10. Hey all, I'm having trouble googling this one because it's not a hard failure, and it's pretty inconsistent. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or might have a suggested way to search for this one. I will preface by saying I am relatively clueless on most of this. I apologize for the disorganized mess that comes below, but I'm in over my head, apparently. Hope this i the right spot! Anyway, I started streaming some of my gameplay (really so that if something cool and/or funny happens I can more easily share it, I'm bad and don't want anyone to actually watch ) and I am using OBS. I play at 4k and have v-sync on in game to sit at around 60fps. The issue is that occasionally during gameplay the game will "freeze" - the system is still responsive, can swap to other programs and whatnot - but the game itself will pause before eventually catching up. I see on OBS that the network indicator goes red. I'm just wondering what I've done wrong on my end that's causing this? Is there something I can do that if OBS has a network problem it can be prevented from causing the game to lock up as well? Or is the reality simply I'm asking too much from the system? This issue does go away if I simply record locally, which also accomplishes what I want, but it involves more work on my end and would be nice if I could just figure out my streaming problem. As for some settings that are hopefully relevant: Bitrate set to 6000kbps Encoder set to x264 CPU preset set to veryfast Canvas resolution 3840x2160 Output resolution 1920x1080 Process priority normal I was using display capture, but I've updated this to game capture (not yet tested if this has been the issue, if you think it may have been I would be happy to hear it) Quick overall specs - no OC except xmp for ram: 3900x 64GB RAM RTX 2080 Gigabit fiber and connected via wire Thanks so much for your time!
  11. Personally I love .net. Make sure you go with .net core for now. As for front end, React is probably the one you'll see everywhere, but to color the thread with my opinion again give Vue a look. That's assuming you want a JS front end. If you're already in the .net world you could just give Blazor a look. I wouldn't necessarily suggest that, but you could.
  12. I use a "65%", and have previously used a 60% and I use the function keys daily and very frequently because, as mentioned above a few times, there are a lot of IDE and browser actions that are made easier by using them. The two keyboards I've used are factory configured so the first layer under the number row is the F key row. So press "function + 1" for F1 as an example. Drop Alt, and Ducky One 2 Mini are the boards I've used. They both have the ability to convert the caps lock key to a second function key which I find super helpful btw. The Alt is my favorite because you can change the mapping on all the layers in the keyboard firmware itself, but that one is significantly more of an investment. I know there are others out there that use the same firmware that may come in cheaper.
  13. You can mix and match Kotlin and Java in a project. If you're talking about contributing/modifying those libraries then definitely correct. Otherwise you could happily write nothing but Kotlin. This line alone seems to indicate to me that the choice really only is Java/Kotlin. I'm also partial to that as it's what I first learned on in school. In retrospect, I'm personally happy I had started with a C-style language as it made the transition over to C# much easier. Sure Java gets quite verbose (less than Objective-C at least!) and there's a good bit of boilerplate to do even the simplest things but it was a good learning experience. I think, overall, starting on Java would be best for you currently as it may have benefits down the road as you add more to your repertoire. Including Python. Insert obligatory "my opinion is my own and may be stupid" disclaimer here.
  14. You definitely have a logic error in your am/pm calculation, but I don't think this ternary is the answer. Feel free to check me on that. Couple of things that seem maybe off at a glance: The am/pm calculation as mentioned, your calculation for minutes might allow you to go to x:60 which I guess teeeeechnically isn't wrong(?) but probably not what you were looking for, and you'll want to pad out minutes < 10 otherwise you could end up with x:1 instead of x:01. In any case I always found it helpful to walk through. Take us through a run of your code line by line. What does it do? What did you expect it to do? Set breakpoints if that helps. Hopefully in the process the problem will become clear, and if not we might be able to see more easily. EDIT - Basically everything @wanderingfool2 said.
