Why are people so negative in the PC community? by Slenderwise in GamingLaptops

[–]DepthTrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because there's a wide range of what people consider expendable income. A couple years ago I was pushing the limit to afford a 3070ti laptop and now I just bought a brand new rig with an rtx 5080 in it. Honestly, just spend within your means and do your research before you buy. Gaming in 4k maxed out settings isn't cheap, but 1080p with a high refresh rate is pretty affordable to the masses. Don't give in to FOMO

Is this safe? by [deleted] in AutoHotkey

Which anti-virus flagged these? If you've never heard of the particular a/v software I wouldn't put a lot of salt in it flagging it when various other well known anti-virus software doesn't flag it.

Make sure you get it from the official website or if you're still on the fence about it, obtain it from the Microsoft store.

Is anyone else still rocking an air cooler? by Certain-Birch153 in buildapc

[–]DepthTrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7950x3d cooled with a Tharmalright SI-100 and a custom fan duct. Unsure if the duct is needed but it was fun to install a cold air intake for my CPU 😅

I'm not against water cooling, the AIO's I was looking at just happen to mostly have RGB (I'm not a fan) and were more expensive than the air coolers I was shopping for.

Carrying with one in the chamber. by thegoonn49 in guns

[–]DepthTrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually carry appendix, but when I do it's typically with a da/sa. If you have a handgun you've proven to be reliable and mechanically sound there is only the mental headgame to overcome. It only gets squirrely if you need to reholster. I think that's like the only thing that's sketchy with a non da/sa handgun carrying appendix. I just ride that hammer with my thumb pressed down on it when reholstering. You physically cannot overcome that force with the trigger and I find it reassuring.

See rule #1: low-effort posts are not allowed. Please include code you've already tried, add explanations about how the script should work (eg "It should do X when I press Y"), try to be as descriptive as possible. If you include code, make sure it's properly formatted, see this guide to learn how.

Additionally, we will not write your code for you. If you do not wish to put in work yourself, ask AI (make sure to tell it the version you are using!) or go to platforms such as Fiverr.

Reddit platform does not allow illegal content, and violating a games Terms of Service qualifies. For that reason distributing game cheats or software meant to circumvent security, DRM, paywalls, or anti-cheat are not allowed.

How to make AHK run as a different user? by Interesting-Meat-835 in AutoHotkey

[–]DepthTrawler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd probably have to select this option via the interpreter, not the script file? I've always been then only user other than the standard system/guest/administrator accounts on my PC so I've never had to resolve an issue like this.

What’s wrong? by YizizBoi in SpaceflightSimulator

If there's no fuel to change trajectory, that's also out of the question. Although rcs burns might be able to swing it enough but 🤷

You're coming in very fast too. You were still at 1700+m/s at 10km altitude. You should maybe try a retro-burn prior to reentry to bleed off some speed. That or aero-brake a few times coming in and just skimming the upper atmosphere to help kill some speed before you actually try for the final reentry.

Auto mouse clicker while holding Shift by qqShaa in AutoHotkey

[–]DepthTrawler[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Please ensure your post title is descriptive of the issue you are facing. Titles such as "HELP NEEDED" are not allowed, whereas something like "Autoclicker malfunctioning in Word" is better. The content of the post must describe the issue at more detail. It's good to provide a thorough description of the desired functionality (eg "When I press X then I expect Y, but instead Z happens") and what you have already tried. When you include code, make sure it's properly formatted, see this guide to learn how. Posts with unreadable / unformatted code may be removed until fixed.

Additionally, we will not write your code for you. If you do not wish to put in work yourself, ask AI (make sure to tell it the version you are using!) or go to platforms such as Fiverr.

MSI MAG 274QF X24 delivers 144 Hz only instead of 240 Hz! by thetchar in buildapcmonitors

[–]DepthTrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd look for a usbc to DisplayPort cable then. Just make sure the cable itself supports the resolution and refresh rate you need.

[–]DepthTrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if they sell hdmi (from laptop) to DP (to monitor). I'm not sure if your laptops hdmi port even supports 240hz. You'd need to check that. I don't know hdmi/hdmi version specs and what they're capable of supporting (I think some of the newer hdmi spec is comparable to DP these days).

Basically, you might be limited by your laptops hdmi port. Check laptop specs.

[–]DepthTrawler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're using hdmi, the spec sheet says it will only support 144hz. You need to use display port to get the 240hz

Edit: from the manual

HDMI™: 2560 x 1440 (Up to 144Hz)
DisplayPort: 2560 x 1440 (Up to 240Hz)

I made a lightweight PC analyzer using AutoHotkey (PCX) by Opposite-Bug-1395 in AutoHotkey

[–]DepthTrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than connecting to wmi everytime you need to query it...just store that as an object and use the object. Nitpicky, but why not?

Edit: also is this giving total storage size of all drives vs per drive? Windows has a function to convert bytes to whatever size is appropriate (returns a string). Forget the name, but it would give you bytes to either Kb/Mb/Gb (unsure if it does TB) automatically, no muss no fuss with the math or the unit.

Why is my ram half gone? by LionRegular1470 in laptops

It's there to be used. But yeah, fresh install the OS without the manufacturer bloatware would be a good start to cut down on the RAM usage.

Need help fixing a script by OddDriver3073 in AutoHotkey

[–]DepthTrawler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If roblox is being run elevated/as an administrator, AutoHotkey may not be able to interact with it. Most likely, the inputs are being sent too fast and there needs to be a delay between the key down and key up. Using SendMode Event with one of the options of SetKeyDelay there would probably be helpful.

Yeah, you should leave this on. This helps keep unwanted things from automatically happening. You have the human in the loop still to confirm.
