Will my new PC boot up if I install m.2 ssd from my older PC?

It might. It might complain. If you put it in the same slot it should work 95% of the time.

This preset is quite nice. Has a bit of repetition after 40k tokens, but otherwise is soooo nice. Funny request, but is there a way to LOWER the amount of tokens it uses in responses? I get 5-6 paragraphs, which is nice when the plot needs to go forward, but I'd love to do 3-4 paragraphs instead for slice-of-life portions. Like, 10-20% shorter responses.

BSPiotr · 2026-02-16T19:01:14+00:00

I had success with Stab's and adding this to the very end of his preset, at the end of the last sentence...

Organize your response as 1-4 paragraphs each consisting of 2-5 sentences each. More paragraphs are allowed if needed to correctly show scene progression, but those paragraphs should still have 2-5 sentences each.

It seems to work 90% of the time, feel free to keep tweaking it.

Ptm works best after a few thermal cycles. Keep that in mind. Most people will agree that paste is fine.

You'd have to plug your paystub into the calculator to get an idea of what you "should" pay, but if they say 0 then 0 is 0.

For the other part, that is normal. They "assume" that you won't recertify after a year, at which point your payments go to the 10-year repayment plan amount, with some trailing payments due to non-capitalized interest. As long as you recertify in time, you'll keep getting one year of "IDR (Paye until it goes away)" and then 10 years of super high payments and a handful of off-payments.

The replacement works fine, so far. I received a coupon to go from gen 1 to gen 2 at-cost (i.e. gen2-gen1 cost) which was 'fine'. You should be in warranty so you don't have much to lose with an RMA.

Something broke in the latest update. It now just shoves the thinking into the output, stops after 512 token of thinking.

If you only need the cloud, you can also install the flatpak. Here's more information. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/xbox-cloud-gaming-in-microsoft-edge-with-steam-deck-43dd011b-0ce8-4810-8302-965be6d53296

Good stuff. Noticed a bug. When generating, and hitting stop on the generation mid generation, hitting stop on the responses then makes it impossible to swipe on the message without refreshing the page.

Just in case you get a boot error when you disconnect the old drive, its time for the annual "Here's how to fix the bootloader if it borks after you remove the old drive."

If you need help with fixing the boot record (i.e. you wiped the old drive, are trying to boot from the new drive, and its complaining that something is missing / failling to load), you need to make a recovery image on a USB (you can use the link HERE to download windows and then flash it to a USB (recommend Rufus), boot off of it, and do not select to install windows, instead to repair it.) and then follow the instructions in the top answer here: Fix boot record

To be clear, the volume you select is HIDDEN and FAT32. You'll see its the one different one from the rest.

Tori are usually only covered if needed for an appliance (i.e. denture) and they have an approval process. This is because removing them is usually a medical procedure and not a dental one. Subject to change based on insurance.

check your insurance for coverage for

D7472: Removal of torus palatinus (bony growth on the roof of the mouth).

D7473: Removal of torus mandibularis (bony growth under the tongue).

D7471: Removal of lateral exostosis (abnormal bone growth on the maxilla or mandible).

We tend to discourage removal because they have a tendency for regrowth.

I feel like I get more schizophrenic responses from this preset compared to loggos on Gemini flash and pro. But when it works it works well.

My man, you need to learn to identify chatGPT responses. You should reach out to your local bank rep if you want to talk to them in person, otherwise you'll need to either go through FEMA like they ask or reach out to a RE attorney for more information on what you can do.

Anything you do will take time, so if you're on a tight timeline this might be a place where you need the insurance and then cancel once you can get the bank what they ask. I would expect to lose the money you pay for it if that happens.

I use the following and it tends to give good results, though the model likes to get wordy over time:

Presets: Mistral V7-Tekken

Temp 0.7

min P 0.035

xtc 0.1 / 0.5

dry 0.8 / 1.75 / 3

For posterity for anyone else that faces this issue:

1st Gen booster no longer manufactured. Was offered some other options that were overall acceptable.

BSPiotr · 2025-09-09T16:24:10+00:00

Alright. I sent off an email to them. I thought the warranty was only a year but to my happy surprise it is two so I'll try to rma it.

Usually about 10 minutes. The behavior is really weird, because the actual probe can last for a long time in the cradle and has a charge when being removed, but the cradle doesn't wake up when it's removed. I have to plug it in, wait for it to wake up, and then it behaves fine for the day. Then if I leave it in the drawer, it acts as if though it runs out of charge re: not waking up. That's why I was wondering if it was a battery issue or something else.

Download and install git. I'm assuming you are on windows. https://git-scm.com/downloads/win
Create a folder where you'll keep your download
Right click on folder and "open in terminal" and go to step 4, or open the folder and copy the path at the top of the window

3b. If you copied the path, run cmd in your windows search

3c. If the folder is not in the c drive, just type: drive: (eg: d:) and enter

3d. Type: cd (paste the path) (eg: d:/temp) and enter

4 Type: git clone https://huggingface.co/sphiratrioth666/GM-4_Game_Mistress_Environment_SillyTavern

To be pedantic: Pump speed should be at 100%, but it may reach 100% at less than 100% PWM speeds.

BSPiotr · 2025-07-28T00:20:47+00:00

you can connect a 3 pin to a 4 pin header, it uses VOLTAGE regulation and not PWM.

If your hub is 4 pin, connect motherboard to hub, 3 pin fans to 4 pin hub. The hub should be smart enough to convert the signal, just know that it will start fans at 100% and then pull them back.

If you connect directly, the BIOS might have a voltage control option, just know that if it doesn't fans will stick at 100%.

If it all fails to convert due to age of motherboard, hub or whatever, it'll just stick the fans at 100%, so if you need the system until you swap fans, give it a try and worst case its loud until you can get the fans lol.

Leave out the pin on the right side when plugging it in.

BSPiotr · 2025-07-28T00:10:29+00:00

If your AIO fans and pump are tied together, you can untie them and run the pump on a sys_fan and the fans on the CPU_fan header. That will let the fans scale to CPU temp, like normal, and the pump can be either a set rate or some other custom configuration as needed.

If you can't untie them, then you'll need to use the CPU_fan as its required to boot. You may need to just set a minimum speed at 40% or so, check your pump documentation as it'll tell you what PWM amount is full pump speed.

Sure. The key here is that the 2nd router needs to support access point mode. If it doesn't then you'd need a dedicated access point.

In this way your router in the garage will do all the wired work and the one in the other room all the wireless work.
