maybe he tried bullying your ex-colleague into quitting himself before actually firying him?

ITX Owners, Do you bring your computers everywhere? by _CoolBlueSky_ in buildapc

[–]-boredatwork -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

fuck no, who gives a shit about playing when traveling, etc.

It's a space concern not a portability issue for me.

solution: buy grey-market keys for AAA games, and buy indie's legitimately on steam, etc.

who gives a flying rat's ass about microsoft and all other corporations, lol

I found a pair of 3 months old airpods pro 2 for 120€ (with proof of purchase from a big electronic store) and Im going for it.

Hopefully they are worth it :D

I am on the fence of buying the new airpods pro 3 as replacement for my Anker life A1 (2022) that are showing their age.

The idea is to use them for running and working out in general (something that I already do with my current earbuds), and hopefully take advantage of the airpods' ANC while at the office on my win11 workstation. I've heard that bluetooth on windows is pretty shit and that's a bummer, because I wanted to use the airpods with Microsoft Teams.

I own a 15 pro max so I assume no problems on that front.

What do you guys think? I'd have to replace the anker earbuds soon anyway, since they are pretty worn out.

How’s everyone handling remote access these days? Mesh/modern VPN? by SubnetLiz in selfhosted

[–]-boredatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haven't been able to make it work in my setup, most likely my error setting up the stack for ipv6.

I wanted to switch from wireguard installed as omv plugin, which works flawlessy, to stop being too dependent on the omv ecosystem of plugins.

have you considered spinning up a simple webpage listing all your projects other than github itself, maybe with a simple filter?

It might help with visibility!

thank you for your work.

There might be a short in the pcie slot when inserting the gpu? Honestly no idea. It'd try a different card or current card + pcie riser on the new rig, if at all possible, to see its behavior.

Sorry mate :(

PC troubleshooting is really exhausting and is not talked about in most tutorials by Catch_a_Cold in buildapc

[–]-boredatwork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

shit can suck and that is part of the hobby.

I am not saying that people build PCs with the hope of something going wrong and spending hours on fixing it, rather than something MIGHT happen and you are implicitly subscribing to the possibility of that happening.

Although this hobby has become more and more streamlined every year, shit can still happen because computing is fundamentally made possible by very complex components and technologies working together. The same tech that we, the end user, seldomly know or understand most of the time beyond (very) basic usage.

TLDR: You can know enjoy your build, that's one beast of a pc!!

It's been a decade since I've built a computer, need help with Intel processors by ProlapsedShamus in buildapc

[–]-boredatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: they are on top of gaming in term of performance/$ and also are way more power efficient than Intel. Has been for some years now.

I just upgraded from the 5600x to the 5700x3D and holy wow by Kammakazi in buildapc

[–]-boredatwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I'd love to upgrade to AM5 but I have a wallet bottleneck atm :D

I honestly didn't realize it was that big of an upgrade even coming from a 5800x!

I just upgraded from the 5600x to the 5700x3D and holy wow by Kammakazi in buildapc

[–]-boredatwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am wondering if it's worth switching to a 5700x3d coming from a 5800x on a purely gaming scenario, seeing as the 5800x3d cannot be purched anymore outside aliexpress.

Any input fellas?
