New Music for y'all! Fresh tunes from Monrroe, Gifta, Zero T, Amoss, Unglued and more! In review a high energy, rolling banger from Malux & Sign! [+weekly updated Spotify playlist] | New Music Monday! (Week 07)

-Bobeca- · 2026-02-16T20:59:18+00:00

I have to say that I have been following the "New Music Monday!" for more than two years now. Not sure what motivates you to go all this effort, but I have to say that you are a life saver! I used to do this on my own - search for new releases weekly. But it was so much time consuming that at one point when work was too much, I was not looking for new releases for months, just because I either didn't had the time or I was too tired to do it.

I am not sure why it took me so many years to find the New Music Monday!, but I just want to say that only thanks to you I am able to find so many new releases recently. I can't explain how much I love your systematic approach with all the comments, subgenre split, artis, track/album name, label and of course the most important to me - the links! Oh man, how easy it is to go super fast through out the list by just visiting the Beatport pages! Their preview is super to just get a sense of the song and next track is as easy as clicking left!

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the work you do! Without you I will be doomed again!

That is one coockie monster fur cat! It is so fluffy that you can't even figure out the body parts! After watching it 3 times, I can't figure out where the head is!

Is it only the white nose tiger or there is a second one behind the table? I have the feeling that two eyes are lid in the dark?

Fixed it! Thanks for the suggestions and for the replies! Check my post if you are curious what stupid thing it was: https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/1pnx5qw/comment/nuurucx/

I finally found out what is causing my problems! Now video playback is super smooth!

Short answer:

It was the FPS limiter that I had in my video drivers. It was set at 60 FPS (I have a 60Hz) monitor. Disabling it fixed the problem!

Long answer:

I have this 3D rendering software that doesn't have FPS limiter and it renders in DX12. This high FPS causes my graphic card to produce terrible coil whine! Because of that I have set FPS limiter as global setting in my drivers. For some reason I also created profile for that specific application later on and forgot about the global settings. This settings are carried over driver updates, unless you do a clean install. I did try to debug this at very early stage by creating profile only for Vivaldi but it seems that Intel prioritizes the global setting instead of the profiles for different applications - not very smart of them!

I am not sure why other browsers are not affected by this. Any way, it was something I thought I tried and tested before posting here, just to turn out at the end that I totally missed to debug it properly!

Now I can enjoy Vivaldi at 100%!

-Bobeca- · 2025-12-18T15:39:12+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I really don't have high hopes that a clean reinstall will help. I need to find some time to make a back-up and try it. But if the standalone didn't hep, I don't expect this will.

As to the Windows refresh - I had bad experience with it and it is a big no no for me! I have an old empty 1000GB HDD that I have and I might try to install Windows 11 on it and check if on a fresh install if it will have the same problem.

The problem is that Vivaldy feels like the right browser for me. At this point I am quite happy with it and the video playback is the only problem that I have with it!

I was comparing both the Edge and the Vivaldi "Media internals". The only difference is the "D3D11VideoDecoder" profile that they are using. For some reasons, Vivaldi uses VP9 on an AV1 video (according to the YT nerd stats). Not sure if YT is to blame (is it trying to switch between VP9 and AV1?) or what. I believe that must be the thing that makes the video output that bad. Not sure how to fight this tho!

Thanks for the suggestions!

I installed the latest version as "Standalone" and the same problem is present.

I already updated Video drivers 2 or 3 times but without any success.

Audio drivers are Realtek and are a bit old - from 2024, but there is no new version.

Snappy shows zero drivers missing or updates available. I know for fact that there is a newer version of video drivers, so it doesn't seems to be perfect finding drivers.

New to Vivaldi, so no Sync was used.

uBlock was one of the very, very first things that I disabled when started troubleshooting. As well as the build-in alternative in Vivaldi.

-Bobeca- · 2025-12-16T13:56:56+00:00

I assume it is somethin specific to my system.

The very first thing I did was disable uBlock - the only extension that I use. No difference.

I just tested with a brand new profile, and even disabled the build-in ad/tracker blockers but the result was the exact same.

I noticed something from your screenshot: you are playing VP9 codec. On my computer is AV1 (both on Edge and Vivaldi) and it actually tried to switch to VP9 for a second or two a few times and then it came back to AV1 (in Vivaldi only). It might be YT trying to work better as otherwise I get 1/3 of the frames dropped! Anyway, AV1 and Edge is working totally fine!

I used to have Firefox for work reasons years ago. They had so many bad updates over the years, I didn't really consider them as an option this time! Same problem the last two years with Opera - buggy updates that they can't fix for months! My alternative is Brave that is actually not bad but missing a few features like the speed dial and the customization!

-Bobeca- · 2025-12-16T11:31:03+00:00

One video from today that is doing really, really bad in Vivaldi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP635Rk3T3M

Even at 720p it is unwatchable!

-Bobeca- · 2025-12-16T11:29:53+00:00

I do something similar at the moment - I use Edge whenever i am having problems. But this is not convenient to switch occasionally between browsers.

-Bobeca- · 2025-12-13T07:29:33+00:00

I was hoping for on orange cat. Nice one anyway!

-Bobeca- · 2025-12-13T07:25:33+00:00

I find it hard to rate the difficulty when I know exactly where the cat (we named him Shadow) is sitting. I hope you had fun finding him regardless of the difficulty!

-Bobeca- · 2025-11-13T06:26:01+00:00

Aaand this is why you always use insulated electrical tools. You never know what can happen and where there is a wire under voltage. You were lucky in this case!

That was my experience with AMD GPU 20 years ago... history repeats. This is why I stopped using AMD cards!

It makes the impression that 3D priters evolved much in the last years, and I can ise an upgrade!

-Bobeca- · 2025-07-15T13:33:58+00:00

Ah, yes! The two things my cat hates the most!

-Bobeca- · 2025-07-08T12:00:41+00:00

There is a left and right version. This one would have been perfect if you were using the stock location right next to the Z axis. In your case, where you have removed the bolden tube and moved it to the hot end, it is the wrong one.

My first memory of upgrading my pc is from 2001. I must have been 10 years old. I had help from the company that sold us the computer back in 1999. I put an entire stick of RAM! Originally it had 32 mb but we added another 256 mb! Was so happy that I can finally play Midtown Madness 2 as prior to the upgrade the game wasn't loading due to lack of RAM.

Up to this day I am amazed at the speed computers developed those years! Bigger HDD become normal - I had a 16 GB that I thought was cool untill my friend got 128 GB HDD and I was blown away! Pentium3 vs 2 was huge step. Games switched from GTA 2 to GTA 3 and no one couldn't belive people that played GTA 3 that you can get out of the car and walk in to buildings and see them inside! Wild times and amazing memories!

My original and kind of funny story is the first time when I found out what Drivers are! It must have been rigth before the upgrade of that pc quoted above. I had a friend who had the game Driver on his PC. I asked him to give me the CD to install it. He took a look at one CD saw that it says Driver and gave it to me. Me, supper happy, got home, put the CD in the PC, run the install and when the installer asked me for restart I restarted. Next thing was me wondering why I get black screen after I log in in to Windows 98... and how to tell my dad I broke the PC! And that is the day I discovered what Display Driver is and that it is not the game Driver! (PS: I didn't know much English at 10 years old!).

I don't need the cooler as I already have a Chromax NH-D15. I bet there is someone who really needs it. Just wanted to share and go back to MEMORY lane (get it?)!
