    Thanks for explaining that in a language my Luddite self can understand. Bummer that it doesn't work, but understandable. These projects are like a car that you restore for a couple of years when you have the time to do some work on it.

    May be a bit of a big ask, but can we get this extension in Firefox? Would be super cool.

    The prices came down, and the temptation was too great. Just purchased an MSI RTX 3070 TI Gaming X Trio. My wallet is empty, but my heart is full. Isn't that what really matters? Now I just need to figure out if I'll keep the 2070S running. My room gets hot enough as it is.

    Has it really been over 2 years already?

    I had a similar issue a few years ago with my Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite. Unfortunately, I was not as tech savvy at the time, and sent it off to be RMA'd, but the issue was the BIOS itself. My suggestion is to flash the BIOS. That is what the RMA fix ended up being, and now that I look back on it, I'm left shaking my head...

    Went offline for a bit to take advantage of the rise in crypto prices. Made some coin, now I'm back and I finally reached 5,000 WUs. Wooooo!!!!!!!

    Been dealing with some stuff for Graduation from University. Hoping to get back up and running tomorrow night for the City Run and the last half of the Marathon.

    If there were RTX 3070s actually available, I would have bought one by now. Instead I'm stuck with my PUNY 2070 Super. Woe is me. I can't compete with the big bois.

    It's kinda hard to say with only CPU/GPU. How much RAM at what speed? Does it have an SSD or HDD? How much storage? What power supply does it have? Will it set your system, or house on fire? What Mobo? Is the case a sealed box without ventilation?

    Four-handed side panel installation for the win!

    Going to transfer my PC into a new case next week once the parts arrive. The Cooler Master MB500 is huge, and not great looking, so I'm switching it out for the basic itch of PC cases, the Lian  Li PC-O11 Dynamic Mini. 

     

    I have no shame. giphy.gif

    New folding event coming soon! Don't forget to…

    The 2021 Snowpocalypse is finally rolling to a close in my neck of the woods. Water is finally coming back online, and I finally got to take a shower last night. Even then, I did not stop folding (except when the power went out). Mother nature will not hold me back from my destiny! I will cross the 1 Billion point threshold (eventually)! I will add another GPU to my computer (when they're finally in stock)! I am the (self-styled) Lord of the Southern Marshlands, and I AM INEVITABLE!
  16. jctappel67
    WOOOO, only 143 days left (at my current pace) to reach 1 billion points.

    Made 500 Million! Woot! Would've made it faster if @cbigfoot hadn't stolen my 2060 and left a worthless stack of cash in its place. Confirmed footage of the heinous perpetrator:

    I am glad that I'll earn my Platinum Folding Badge before the update to the new set. I can't have @cbigfoot getting too far ahead of me in the shiny bits department. Epilepsy warning Only 20 Million left until 500 Mill! Woot!!!

    Would that work for when I'm out of town? I travel a lot.

    Just found out that Chrome Remote Desktop is a thing. Now I can manage my machines for free and without knowledge of the techno-wizardry. Just wish it didn't involve selling another portion of my soul to our greedy, sadistic benevolent overlords, but c'est la vie when you're 'poor' and not well-versed in the dark arts. Wish I'd known about it during the Covid-19 event and Folding Month. Would've kept me from going dark a bunch of times, but oh well. Edit: To keep Google from holding too much of my soul, I switched to a different VNC. Thanks to @Bitterand @LazyDevfor giving me the idea.

    I think the F@H devs need to work on some optimizations before we can really judge the performance, but good to know.
  22. jctappel67
    I might be a bit late in saying this, but I was really looking forward to the RTX 3070 launch, and the lack of availability sucks. The folding potential would've been fantastic! Meanwhile, my bank account cries for joy as he will not need to sell a kidney for now.

    Glad that the event is over, and I don't have to feel as guilty about using my PC for it's original purpose: Por...

    Sitting pretty at 67 for the 2nd day in a row. Was my football number in high school. Makes me happy. Looked up 'happy football', this one was too funny, so it had to go in:
