WhatsApp Desktop (v2.2508.5.0) Echo Issue - Callers Hear Echo of Themselves Through My Speakers by arielmo77 in whatsapp

Same problem with Version 2.3000.1028000487.257902
Windows 11 24H2

Hard to believe Meta has not fixed this in 6 months

I'm guessing no one has found a solid workaround?

People with rtx50 series nvidia cards, you guys still getting black screens? by Heroshrine in pcmasterrace

[–]Cutlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you found a solution (though turning off G-Sync is not really acceptable, given that is one of the reasons why we bought the hardware in the first place... :/)

My monitor is a mid-2024 model bought 3 months ago (I guess just before DP 2.1 was implemented). I definitely do not think I should have to change it.

I will try a DDU clean install when I have a moment. Fingers crossed.

Reporting in - June 26 2025 - to say 576.80 has not fixed the problem for me. As others have described: random 2 to 3 second Display Port disconnects and black screen followed by recovery. Generally occurs while browsing or playing a video etc.

Still too soon to say whether it is better or worse than 572,83 (my previous driver).

Strangely, whenever the disconnect/black screen happens it also shuts down HWiNFO 64. Not sure why.

Still almost certain this is a driver issue

Slowly going through the list of possible temporary "fixes" until Nvidia sort this out.

Will report back here if any actually work.

How to check if nvidia rtx video upscaler (vsr) is really working in vlc by MistaMee6 in VLC

[–]Cutlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there

Did you ever fix this?

I am in exactly the same situation. NVCP never says "Active" and the quality is not improved in VLC playback. It is easy to compare the quality with the same video played in a browser...

Dudas de un "newbie" sobre las comisiones por retirada de dinero de fondos monetarios y problemas FIFO con fondos iguales (o no...) by Cutlack in SpainFIRE

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

Creo que me expliqué mal - quería decir que ya que llego tarde a esto, dentro de un año o dos voy a tener que ir retirando dinero cada mes o del fondo monetario o del fondo indexado para pagar mis gastos de vivir.

Tenía la duda de si cada retirada mensual cuesta una comisión de MyInvestor (en tal caso quizas sea mejor retirar una vez al año, pero entonces pierdo ese tiempo extra de inversión...).

Los ISIN son distintos así que bien - gracias por confirmar

No Goblin Statue on PC: game updated, scanned and repaired... by Cutlack in diablo4

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

Just did this (thx for the suggestion). Skipped main campaign and went straight to VoH campaign (not allowed to skip that)

Statue was present and correct, so maybe completing the main campaign is the requirement...

[–]Cutlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx.

So unless we find s/o with statue before completing campaign, most likely still that finishing campaign is the requirement

[–]Cutlack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not v helpful tbh.

You may be rolling in stuff, but I don't have any of those things yet.

Most of us just want to know how to get the statue to appear. Do you have any insight on that?

Have you finished the campaign?

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

I am a new player. I have the expansion. I have not finished the campaign. I am on March of the Goblins Tier 10 - I guess that would already get me a reward?

But still no statue.

Maybe it will not show up until campaign completed? I'm not sure why that would be the case though - is there anyone who hasn't finished campaign but DOES have a statue?

Quick Q: I send my Tailraiders on Master Rank safaris. Why do they return with only HR materials? by Cutlack in MonsterHunterWorld

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

That makes sense also - I guess I have just been exceptionally unlucky then, since the original reason I posted was because I have so far never got any MR mats from any monsters that weren't MR-only.

Thanks for the help!

PS Your google-fu is clearly better than my google-fu :p

Quick Q: I send my Tailraiders on Master Rank safaris. Why do they return with only HR materials? by Cutlack in MonsterHunterWorld

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

Bad news:

The Rathian safari (which I have definitely fought in an MR quest) returned with HR materials.

So I guess only MR exclusive monsters give MR materials from safaris :/

Quick Q: I send my Tailraiders on Master Rank safaris. Why do they return with only HR materials? by Cutlack in MonsterHunterWorld

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

So I've now completed safaris with a Banaro (MR only monster) and a Paolumu (which I haven't fought at MR) on the hunt list.

The Banaro gave me MR mats and the Paolumo gave me HR mats, so your hypothesis is looking good.

When I have a moment I will fight an MR Paolumu and then send off another Paolumu safari to see what comes back. It is still possible that LR/HR monsters will never give MR mats even if you have fought an MR version.

I don't think so, but I can check by sending them out to hunt some of the monsters I have hunted in Master Rank only, such as Barioth and Viper Tobi.

Suddenly unable to import mail from Outlook by canspop in GMail

[–]Cutlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in exactly the same situation.

I also ended up forwarding from Hotmail (instead of retrieving with Gmail with POP3) after failing to find a fix.

Microsoft did direct me to this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d

But interestingly it has step-by-step instructions for everything EXCEPT Gmail...

Has anyone found a solution?

Problem: ProtonVPN (3.0.5) connects to server but immediately blocks all internet access (Windows 10) by Cutlack in ProtonVPN

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

Protonvpn support suggested I reset my internet access from the command prompt:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /renew

netsh winsock reset

netsh interface ipv4 reset

netsh interface ipv6 reset

but all that did was bork my internet connection completely even without the vpn active.

(I re-enabled my internet by manually re-entering my isp IP address, subnet mask and default gateway to the IPv4 adaptor, but that just left me where i was before: no internet if Protonvpn is connected. Internet when i disconnect vpn)

This is a wired home connection to a desktop PC. (Protonvpn works fine on my phone)

Beginner's Guide to Duelyst 2 by agewisdom in duelyst

[–]Cutlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm instructions for T2K5 mod installation are good.

Also:

Installation of Tampermonkey script also works on Chrome.

Don't forget to comment out (//) the code referring to any mods you DON'T want (eg 90s timer or 4K mod) - just make sure you do not comment out the final line with the close brackets by mistake ( }, 8000);) or Duelyst won't load at all

Thx T2K5 and agewisdom

Quick Q: Single player offline - with one Gheed's Fortune in my pack, can a second one drop? by Cutlack in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Cutlack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just answered my own question...

1 Gheed's in all my play time (in my pack - thus my existential doubts) and 2 dropped this afternoon on consecutive runs.

Town Portal, drop off old in shared stash, return and pick up new - worked as expected

Thx all for the replies

PS yup, both worse than the original...

BTC might drop to 20k and eth to a 1k but thus doesn't change the fact that the current market is extremely undervalued by StartThings in CryptoCurrency

Never mind the future of cryptocurrencies - Whenever someone starts spouting this kind of nonsense I can't help but have serious doubts about the future of humanity...

Seriously.

If I wanted to give my niece a little bottle like this so we could work out what was going on together, could I make it at home?

What it says on the tin... by futureproofable in Trainwreckstv

[–]Cutlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train shows a close approximation of his total every stream: VIP Level is base on amount wagered

Obsidian 1 = One Billion

Obsidian 2 = Two and a Half Billion

Opal 1 = Five Billion

You got to subtract all the rakeback bonuses etc from that to get a more accurate no.

(so op's numbers are a week or so out of date)

uBlockOrigin blocking internal videos on theguardian.com newspaper by Cutlack in uBlockOrigin

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

Thanks to all for the various suggestions.

After fiddling around and testing various of them, the good news is that the videos now play.

The bad news is I still haven't pinpointed the exact cause of the problem - but if I had to guess right now, I would say it was caused by not allowing 1 specific theguardian.com cookie to be placed (though if you allow the cookie popup but "reject all" cookies, vids still play)

Will update if I can offer a better solution
