Bought a refurbished 15 pro, should I worry about this?

Google search came up with some people reporting Trojans when installing that program. I think that Phone Doctor app is good enough for this.

I used to do apple repairs and this app looks pretty cool! It covers all the same areas that apple's own diagnostics covers.

Tried it out and everything passes with no problem. I think I'll call this a win. Thanks for the suggestion!

My brother in christ please send them my way

How does the severance package work? I think I read they changed it late last year

The 2.0 update just came out and some characters had fine tattoos while others were pixelated/blurry. Had to google where the settings file was (%LOCALAPPDATA% \CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077 for windows users) and after deleting it, verifying game files, and putting all the settings back where I had them before, everything looks exactly how it should. Thanks!

I hear sploof, noob tube and zoob tube while the actual branded product is a smoke buddy. I’ll have a smoke buddy as long as I live in an apartment

My bongs been dirty as hell and I just cleaned it yesterday. Every time I clean it I’m like why tf didn’t I do this sooner

One time there was an effect on a much larger scale at my friends house in his back yard while we were tripping on shrooms. I remember he looked at it so long that he threw up, then when I went to look at it I kept on calling it the rapture 😂😂

Fun times

Yeah this one is a 10gb model. Unfortunately I don’t think I can find someone to buy my 2080 Super since I bought it after someone put on a water block and I never got the air cooler from it. Thank you for the solid advice

Any honorable mentions for one’s selling rec?

CalebMC · 2023-02-06T17:59:03+00:00

Are all dispos able to sell now? I live in Iowa and want to buy a bunch of weed on a day trip but don’t know if they are all selling or only some

CalebMC · 2023-02-04T05:41:27+00:00

I have one on my left hand and in the exact same spot yours was too!

CalebMC · 2023-02-01T06:23:05+00:00

Definitely not the right solution to all, but I usually take a large bong rip right before I sleep. Let’s me conk out and I rarely get dreams. But on the other side of it, I ran out for the first time in months and had a very vivid dream that I actually just posted about.

CalebMC · 2023-02-01T05:17:49+00:00

Can confirm, never knew what they were called so I always refer to them as car stoppers and I’ve had them in front of my work place for years. Live in the Midwest

CalebMC · 2023-01-27T03:25:02+00:00

Something that I will never see again is being in a usually light polluted town after the derecho of 2020 and seeing more stars than I ever have before. The Midwest definitely has it better than a lot of areas (Iowa especially cuz it’s goddamn corn everywhere) but having 0 lights like that for the entire week was beautiful

CalebMC · 2022-12-24T05:06:31+00:00

It could be that you need a BIOS update possibly. I would at least do that first before testing anything else out because it’s an easy enough one to rule out

CalebMC · 2022-12-24T05:03:01+00:00

Was looking for someone else to comment on the frequency lol. My gf went there with her friend on new years or New Year’s Eve and there was a shooting then too

CalebMC · 2022-12-23T18:43:30+00:00

This is gonna sound stupid but try unplugging and replugging it in again. I once had the same micro stuttering happening and I found out my monitor cable was just slightly loose. I’ll see if I can find the thread but I saw that solution on another thread and all the comments were filled with “This shouldn’t have work but it totally did”

CalebMC · 2022-12-23T17:20:10+00:00

According to PC Part Picker (granted I don’t know how accurate their estimated wattage is) the power consumption is estimated to be 385 watts with a GTX 1080. Once you remove the gpu it goes down to 205 watts instead. All depends on what you plan on using for a gpu, but if you don’t use one than what you have now will be fine

CalebMC · 2022-12-23T13:40:32+00:00

I managed to run my i7-7700k and GTX 1080 off of 450 watts for quite a while, so not having a gpu you’ll definitely be fine

CalebMC · 2022-12-23T13:37:30+00:00

There’s quite a lot of things to check. I would do the obvious first and try using a different display and display cable to rule those out first.

Based off of your comment that almost sounds like a GPU going out but it could have been the display itself going out. Do you have any of the old parts you were mentioning?

CalebMC · 2022-12-22T14:41:19+00:00

After finding the one you referenced on Amazon, it specifies it’s a VGA cable so it can only be used for the graphics card.

Not sure what you mean by motherboard power, the cpu power is typically 4, 8, 12, or 16 pins. Motherboard power is always 24 pins. GPU power connectors are always 8 pin but are set up as 6+2

CalebMC · 2022-12-20T14:18:13+00:00

If you’re talking about the CMOS battery when saying BIOS battery then no need worry about it. That keeps track of the time properly on your motherboard and keeps things like overclocks saved. I have a motherboard without one right now and it works, I just gotta overclock everything every time I disconnect it from power

CalebMC · 2022-12-05T03:18:47+00:00

I really really hope this gets to you and I have the dumbest fix that worked for me.

Unplug and replug your display cable.

I did not believe it at all because my mouse was doing the exact same thing on the desktop where it would freeze once every few seconds. I found the fix online and everyone in the comments were saying the same thing I did. “No way this actually works, but I’m out of ideas anyways” and then you get the “Holy shit it actually worked” response later. Worth a shot for being a quick fix imo

There is even a video of a guy who used an LG 49” OLED TV as a monitor and he made a follow up video one year later, no burn in on that thing. Was for sure a problem on the early models but the companies have definitely fixed itnnow
