  1. It’s pretty likely that the channels are on an isolated account that isn’t being used as the primary account for anything other than the channel (I think Linus mentioned this the last time they got hacked but I’m not sure) and no other passwords are saved on them.
  2. If you go to settings on your work phone. Scroll down to Phone. Then Call Forwarding, you can turn that on and enter a phone number to forward calls to. (doesn't need to be on the same iCloud account) If both phones are on the same iCloud account you can go to Settings, then messages and scroll down to Text Message forwarding you can enable it on the device. I'm not sure if you can forward messages between phones on different iCloud accounts.
  3. I’ve used digital ocean for the last 2 years and haven’t had any issues other than getting my billing information setup but my use case is very limited so I’m not really sure how it would scale up.
  4. Usually that would make sense but it isn’t hitting the 60w TDP limit which i probably should have mentioned. It hovers around 45-50w ish. I actually haven’t tried DDU on the igpu drivers. I’m going to give that a shot. Likely won’t do anything but its worth a shot.
  5. I have a 2021 Zephyrus g14 with a 5900hs and a 3060 mobile. I noticed very weird GPU boost behavior where the GPU would boost up to 1.6-1.9 GHZ and then the clocks would start bouncing between 1.5 to 0.9ghz, averaging around 1.1ghz. At first i thought this was the VRMs overheating so I repasted the laptop with K5 pro and NTH1. This fixed the thermals, the GPU now doesn’t get above 67c and the CPU averages 85c. I tried DDU on the Nvidia drivers and reinstalled fresh ones, this slightly helped but it was only about a 100mhz increase in core clocks. I did some more digging with HWinfo and it shows the GPU is power throttling. All the previous testing was done on turbo mode so I thought sure maybe the CPU was was eating up a lot of power and forcing the GPU to throttle. I capped the CPU to 35w and adjusted the fan curves a bit. Still the same behavior. Now I think it might be windows doing some weird boost behavior control, any ideas before I try and reinstall windows completely?
  6. I’m working on this laptop and the battery is just 6 18650 cells. Never seen that before.

      A lot of older laptop batteries were pairs of those batteries.

      That's basically what all laptop batteries were until laptops became too slim to fit them in. Tends to still be used on chonkers.

  7. So I was just tinkering around with this pretty old tv recorder thing and I found something that looks like a PCI slot. I think it was probably for debugging during the development but I wonder if anyone else knows anything more about it.

      Well, for one it's Confidential and Proprietary.

       

      Probably a debug port, not sure how you would interface with it.

  8. Been a while since I have traveled around these parts I think ill actually come back for a while, ngl kinda regretting the name change.

     

    How's everyone doing?


    @Schnozhow's the computer repair non-profit coming along? (the name is slipping my mind rn)

    @FakeKGBdo anything cool recently?

     

    I want to ping more people but well this is enough for now.

      @ObbyTrusty Doin' well! The IȚ Club is currently working on expanding to a few new states, and we're getting an ever-increasing amount of donations.

      Oh that’s super cool to hear.

      Dang. 

  11. By this logic, if a bitcoin asic miner is just a better gpu why can't you run games on an asic? If you look up what an asic actually is, it is a circuit designed to run a specific task at super fast speeds. Doing just an ounce of research on how asics work you would see that's its not as easy as just swapping the software on it to make it do a different task. It's like saying if I sideload the OS that Tesla's run on my generic car from 2015 that supports apple carplay it should gain self driving functionality.
  12. Students: We want dark mode.

    College: We have dark mode
    The actual dark mode of the college website (this is not edited this is actually what we have)

      Fun Fact: You can enable dark mode on any website by lowering the brightness of your monitor.
