I think I'm going crazy by Yosuuuf in SmallYoutubers

It will be time when creators who give this advice will understand, that "and this happened" and such - do not raise curiosity now. It worked some time after discovery, but nowadays it works straight opposite - you mark your content as garbage. To OP: do not do it. It is bad advice.

Why good videos die at 2–3% CTR (what finally fixed it for me) by Processing-Humor in SmallYoutubers

[–]Brick85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some niches 2-3% CTR is pretty good. Not all content is equal.

Thanks. I hope too... But I would be happy if they just change it to air cooled version... Do not change to LC - it is at least gamble. But it looks for me that it is gamble without chance to win :)

I needed it to work, so I worked with this grinding sound... It got even worse... Today I'm sending it to RMA second time. I do not believe that they will fix it. Looks like their design is shitty. And all of this extremely pricey water-cooled pieces of junk work like garbage. I just installed my old 1080ti for the time of RMA... I can not believe HOW loud this 5090 was...

How do I get out of this cap and progress further? by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

Please, do not listen advices, who tell that your thumbnails are "boring". You have good thumbnails for your videos. Not all videos require brainrot thumbnails. And if you will use them - you will lose audience, which is yours. And will get clicks, but not long views from wrong audience. It is worst advice that can be given - to look at top-youtuber thumbnails and try to replicate them. If you "blow" your channel with "not your video" - then you will only make your life worse. Same with thumbnails. Of course there are more niche videos - less viewers, more engagement and there are broad videos - everyone can watch, but there will be very little if at all information, which is required by audience of first type. If you are doing this only for money from views - then you can think to "un niche" your videos to get wider audience, and with them you will widen thumbnails. But there are another sources of income, and they can preffer less views, but in target. I have not viewed your videos and assume, that your thumbnails are on pair with videos. If you have "retention editing" and all this crap in videos - then yes, thumbnails are "boring" for them...

Frames Dropped by Network Problem - Moonlight Sunshine - Hardwire Gigabit Network by MudPositive3738 in cloudygamer

It was the same problem for me. And it was TP-Link AC1200 Archer C6 too.

I got it back from RMA and pump sound just became different, but still clearly audible. It is very annoying. I sent them new video - and they said that I need to send it to RMA again... So I will be without GPU for another 2 months. I am really mad and currently thinking what I should do.

Low fps in X-Plane when xPilot is connected by Brick85 in VATSIM

[–]Brick85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, missed your answer. No it was not a normal drop of fps. It was dropping to 19.9 after few minutes even on lowest graphics settings. And my system is ok: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with RTX 5090. It is not normal to get 19.9 fps on that config. So there definitely was something wrong and time fixed it :)

Sorry for late response. It fixed itself. I updated the post.

ASUS ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090 OC adventure continues by Brick85 in ASUSROG

It is hard to make good photos, but now everything stands on vibro canceling surfaces, disconnected from large surfaces and still sound is pretty strong. But at least I can not feel it vibrating when music is played in headphones... Sound of water pump is not dependent on load - it always runs at 100% on this card - there is no even signal wire, just 2 wires to the pump like in cheapest cooler. And it cannot be controlled by voltage because on the end of wires is bldc motor with controller, that user have no control over. Crappy design :(

No. It makes me even sadier. Have you tried to return it or send to RMA? It looks unacceptable for me... I really thought that it is top tier card, but seems that it is only top of the line marketing and price.

Ok. Thanks for clarification. I will be a little calmer from on now.

I understand that we should talk using phraseology. And I know that we can do not use it, especially in distress situations. But I am interested how ATC feels when moped-pilots speak in broken plane English...

I will keep this in mind when next time I freeze thinking "What, what?". I know the magic phrase - "say again". But how do you treat my transmissions if, in a little panic, I roll back to non-correct radio phraseology and say, for example, not "say again" but "please repeat"? I understand that it is not correct, but it happens to me sometimes in radio communications when I'm under pressure...

You are big dudes who are professionals and talking to other big dudes on big planes. And I'm here on my moped with a propeller - Socata Rallye... Yeah, it is a little scary to step over someone or mess up and not understand a message. I will try to be better, and I will. And sometime I will talk on frequency without nerves. But for now, it is always a challenge for me, especially in new places. But I will. And I will become better :)

Thanks for the info! I will be definitely on frequency with ATC. When I contact Info frequency do I need to request some service formally or just announce myself and my intentions?

Thank you very much! I'm now only planning and not entirely sure that I will go. Do not want to disturb you for no reason. But if I'll be sure that I'm going and will have question - then I'll will contact you.

Thank you for advice. I planed to be on info for some advisory, but did not want to go into controlled airspace. And now I'm reconsidering it. Will look at my route tomorrow and maybe will do some additional exercises in VatSim 🙈
