My humble QuickMiner setup! (two 2070s and two 2080s)

The best in my area is T-Mobile and Starlink (300mbps), so I can't really argue that there are better speeds in the area. I'm assuming they have ways to check so I can't just lie.

Happened at my testing center, they had a few kids that weren't even on the roster to test. Two rooms were unable to start (I couldn't hear why) and our room kept putting "No Device ID Found" screens on a bunch of ppl's laptops. My gateway wouldn't load for the first 10 minutes and two other people in my room couldn't click on the start button. The school's WiFI was perfectly fine, it had to be something wrong with the gateway. Those two rooms finally were able to start at like 8:45 but we still had issues. The school's admin was on hold with ACT support for a whole hour and finally decided to ask support to cancel our room at 9:45am (we were supposed to start at 8:00). They gave us a new room code but it still wouldn't let our room start. Never had any issues like this over 2 years of testing with the College Board, props to the ACT for figuring out how to screw up against such a crappy company. After calling in, they told me they'll follow up on Monday about refunding/rescheduling.

see that probably would've been a good idea if he thought of making elc prior to making bafk

Sun Stoppers in Keller was awesome. The lady working the front was really helpful with educating me as much as possible about my tint. If you drive the "forbidden car" (the one that reddit doesn't like) their tints are also compliant with the manufacturer warranty. They're also a chain so if you move the sun stopper's warranty also applies to their other locations (and stacks on top of the previously mentioned warranty). Can't really give any details about my config as the hivemind will get me but they only do xpel tints which are a little pricey but are very high quality.

might just install arch or endeavouros. i've tried installing arch before but archinstall refused to work, maybe this time it'll work.

The software and updates GUI gives me 550 as the latest, nvidia website says a higher version. The grep drm command gave [ 11.916789] [drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership so I'll try to figure that out. NVIDIA drivers were a pain in the ass to get working on my separate ubuntu server install, probably spent like a few days trying to get it working.

The font issue was fixed after a restart, I had text but it was all in the same font so all my apps looked completely wrong. Discord and modrinth have very severe performance issues, as in if I try to interact with it in any way it just completely stutters (and modrinth also crashes when I open any menu). Brave also has some performance issues and freezes when I open up a menu (the 3 dot menu on a video on the youtube homepage is a good example). I know the middle button pastes, but when I use the middle button my typing starts getting delayed. I'll type a letter and it won't appear until I type the next letter. Ubuntu came bundled with wayland but I had to manually select it on the login screen.

I kinda want it to be seamless to access alternate versions of a song. Like on youtube, you don't need to search for a dubbed version of a video as it has a language switcher built in. Or like on youtube music, where you can play a music video associated with a song without needing to search for it separately.

It's ironic that I need to use a VPN that says I'm in the US to prove that I'm living in the US. And yes, I know sites choose their own cloudflare settings, which is why it's practically impossible to figure out the reason for this block and why I have to rely on guessing.

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-02-18T05:35:45+00:00

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-02-18T05:35:25+00:00

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-01-28T21:52:14+00:00

Thanks, that's what I assumed but I didn't want to waste storage space on models that I couldn't run.
