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.

I've heard some nasty things about vultr and Digital Ocean which kept me from really giving them a second look. I've been on Linode for 11 years also, but at this point I'll start looking again.
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.

According to here: https://www.ultrabookreview.com/46631-asus-zephyrus-g14-2021-review/ it's a hard 60W TDP limit for the GPU, up to 80W with Nvidia Dynamic Boost: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5087/~/how-to-enable-or-disable-dynamic-boost-in-the-nvidia-control-panel. It should be enabled by default, double check that it is. If it is then there isn't anything you can do, your GPU is just hitting the power limit as it should, there isn't a way to make it go any faster.
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.

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?

ill need to see proof sir. all the asic is just took the parts it need form the gpu and made it better. so that would mean all gpu cones should work on the asic. now it sound like the program it self on the asic can only do one cone but if that was removed that it should do other. of cores might not be as good if it was deigned form the ground up.
show me that a bit cone miner is different then a eth miner..
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.

You're the VRAM mod because I always spelled it as GDDRiley
wait its not GDDRiley. Wot. I never noticed this.
-
Considering you have no load on your CPU its supposed to lower clock speeds. If the problem occurs when you are running a game or doing something CPU intensive then come back.

though it would be nice if it was a native option to disable certain channels
This is amazing.

Perhaps reading my post in full detail would also have lead you to assume this was not a manufacturer thing, as was my thought.
I should have addressed this in my first post my bad. My best guess is that some Acer software or driver update occurred over night which cause the beep to begin.
3 minutes ago, Chaffy said:It's an Acer-specific thing I suppose.
It is an Acer specific thing although I am not sure why they would do it with a beep as opposed to having a prompt display on screen but I assume that is so that the user knows it works when the display is off or the laptop is in sleep.

It is a windows 10 feature. It is intended to occur to ensure the charger is properly connected.

Ok so basically just a reformat. Nice.

When you have 2 sticks one 8GB and the other 16GB with all the other specs being the same you still run in dual channel mode. Its only that the after the first 8GB of the 16 GB module is used you would run in single channel.
For your use case I would suggest going with the 24GB of ram since it also gives some overhead for more applications/intensive tasks that you might later use.

Ok so this is kinda like a last resort solution. If nothing else works get him an absolute nugget of a computer. I am talking like single core atom processor from 2007 or something. Make the computer/laptop so terrible that they wouldnt want to reset it. Just make sure it works for only what he needs to do for school.
If that seems too extreme just get him an ipad with a keyboard and setup a child iCloud account for him and restrict alot of settings in screen time. Its practically impossible to break apple's child lock and screen time restrictions on an iPad or iPhone without access to a computer and using settings in screen time you can lock the device down so hard that he would not have a way past. DO NOT USE AN ANDROID TABLET FOR THIS. It is stupidly easy to factory reset those even without a computer. -

Yeah I was just worried because its a new sound to me, have you had GPUs sound like that?
Yes I have but nothing quite as new as yours. My quadro P4000 sounds like that and so does my CPU fan for that matter.

Howcome my ASUS cards don't sound whiny?
There are a million different reasons. Maybe they use a different internal fan layout or they use a different bearing structure. From what I can tell there is no reason to worry about your GPU fan it is performing as expected.
-
Just now, Tragicdice said:
So at the 3 second mark when the PC boots you hear than whindy sound? The fans are like that when running but at a lower pitch than startup.
Yep thats exactly what its supposed to do.
-
Just now, Tragicdice said:
Even when spinning normally? It's just that my previous GPUs never sounded like that.
Yes even when spinning normally though it should be a volume difference during idle and while under load or during startup.
-
Yes that's perfectly normal. That's how fans sound.

Reformatted and reinstalled still same problem
Ok well in that case. Try booting linux ubuntu or manjaro. I know it sounds counter productive but if you can get linux running with nvidia drivers and run some kind of stress test (https://www.maketecheasier.com/stress-test-graphics-card-linux/) then you can rule out a hardware issue and focus on it being a windows issue. If linux does not run then thats most likely a hardware problem.

Try reinstalling windows. That seems like the next logical step.

Ok so I bought a g14 GA401QM 2021 about a month ago and whenever I attend a zoom meeting, the laptop freezes not only zoom, then black screens for about a second and then runs fine as if nothing happened. No BSOD, no AMD drivers complaining about a driver timeout nothing.
I already did DDU to the AMD drivers and the Nvidia drivers but nada. I also tried a full windows reinstall but that also did not fix anything.
Note: This only happens with Zoom. Microsoft teams is fine, playing games is fine, doing anything else is fine.
The freeze is system wide, I cannot use the mouse or keyboard or alt tab or anything while it is frozen, everything resumes fine after 2 seconds.
Specs:
Ryzen 9 5900HS with some radeon GPU
RTX3060
16GB 3200Mhz RAM
1TB NVME SSD

Linus Tech Tips, Tech Quickie, Tech Linked channels hacked
in General Discussion
Posted
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.
