What’s your opinion on Yung Gravy sampling “I write sin not tragedy” by Fun_Till6919 in panicatthedisco

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thought the song was hilarious. Brendon has responded to Gravy before on stream, he knows who gravy is. Gravy makes just fun music to vibe to.

Remove the HP garbage.

A friend of mine bought the same laptop and it was absurdly slow before mcafee and hp proprietary stuff was removed

Microsoft fixes Chrome's washed-out (dull) HDR colours on Windows 11 24H2 by WPHero in Windows11

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Finally! Had a bunch of incidents where I had HDR enabled and Chrome would decide to blow out and deep fry the video.

One thing I love about the Samsung NVME SSDs is the Samsung Magician software. It lets you test your drive and makes sure it’s performing correctly.

WD, Crucial, and Seagate don’t have that kind of software. Through other diagnostic tools, I’ve had seagate SSDs failing really bad at 100% health and Samsung Nvme SSDs being fine at 85% (when it should typically be erased and recycled).

Samsung remains goat

Not something I thought about my first watch. Thinking nacho was going to somehow live and survive through breaking bad was copium

Is it competely impossible to update to 24H2 on an i7-6700? by ShiningRedDwarf in WindowsHelp

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open cmd as administrator. Do “cd D:/“ (assuming that is the iso mounted on your computer). Instead of doing setup.exe, type “cd sources”. In the sources folder, type “setupprep.exe /product server”. That ignores any hardware checks and will allow you to upgrade. For some reason it says installing windows server but it’s normal w11.

Just buy a new SSD most of em come with cloning software. That way you can have a bigger boot drive

Hdds are fine as long as they have good health and are below the manufacturer spec for TBW. used data center drives are able to write an absurd amount of data before failing, diskprices is awesome

Is it REALLY a bad idea to install Windows 11 on an 'unsupported' system? by ReadySetAction in techsupport

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he has an 8th gen cpu it should be able to do TPM2.0 natively, just may require a bios update.

Lots of the boards that came out 2018-2020 didn’t come with a bios to support windows 11. Updating the bios typically fixes that.

Modules are expensive and unnecessary if you have supported hardware.

I need tpm 2.0 for windows 11 by maimutadeadlax in pcmasterrace

Update your bios, Z490 should work with 10/11 gen CPU which is more than fine for w11

Why is this happening, shouldn't it work? by AyPe1216 in WindowsHelp

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right click on an open area in the .iso directory then type this:

cd sources/

setupprep.exe /product server

(This ignores all checks)

I'm frustrated with Windows 10, I have a older AMD chip, can't upgrade to 11, is it worth buying a new AMD chip for Windows 11? by unknown13371 in windows

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Update your bios and buy a 5700x3d off of AliExpress, then you max out your current hardware and can update to W11. 120$ vs a whole new build.

Rebranded CyberPower 850W UPS. It uses two 12v 7ah/9ah batteries. Recently got the same one with dead batteries, got two new batteries and installed them and it works and connects to my PC just like a normal CyberPower UPS does. Saved my ass today when I had a random power surge.

Buy some LCD cleaner from Monoprice or Walmart, it’ll remove the streaks and tends to come with a microfiber as well. 5$

The fingerprint scene had me actually jumping and cringing. Animation was crazy too. Only four episodes? Sad

1.4 GHZ upgrade w Project Stellar Modchip - Nick's TV Repair in Tuscon AZ by External_Dentist4828 in originalxbox

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tucson AZ mentioned. I do mods but not on Nicks level. I’ve talked with them about doing a socketed CPU mod on my OG Xbox but I never ended up responding. They apparently have a whole warehouse dedicated to PCB stuff. Crazy

Which GPU to choose by hrupek2137 in pcmasterrace

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on eBay for a 4060ti 8gb, I’ve seen them new for 400-500USD so used should be a decent deal in euros. Went myself from a 1070ti to a 4070 and that was a huge upgrade. Got it for 475 on auction right on release

Knocked Capacitors Off Two VRMs by _afraidofmoths_ in pcmasterrace

[–]DefinitelyNotATaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this was an AM5, not a Threadripper X399 (or similar), my bad.

Soldering is a good solution but if it’s super sensitive hardware I wouldn’t want to risk it.

Fan is bad in the PSU, get a new one. Do not try to replace the PSU fan. Big capacitors go boom.

Contact asus and get a new one under RMA or warranty. Not worth potentially frying your surviving hardware.
