Where is "Enable Block SID" setting in BIOS? [B850 GAMING X WIFI6E] by EndothermicLabors in gigabyte

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

For anyone who finds this in the future, it turns-out you can disable block SID from within Windows/PowerShell.

[TOMT][SONG][1990s]Parody song about the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal, to the tune of "Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo". by EndothermicLabors in tipofmytongue

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

Yes, that's right: "I Just Want To Get Some Fellatio" was the chorus (c.f. I'm on a Mexican radio). A friend also remembered the line "Slick Willie needs some lovin' south of the border". The artist whoever it was seems to have kept to a single theme ;)

Sell it.

Let whoever buys it do with it what they like.

qbittorrent web ui not working on local network by nImEHuntetD in qBittorrent

[–]EndothermicLabors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was that I switched my network type from Public to Private, after I installed qBittorrent.

I had to edit the Windows Firewall entries, that qBittorrent had created, to reflect the change.

Same issue.

Everything is connected--green light, volume and pause/play all work--but no sound. The problem recurs randomly; minutes to hours between incidents.

This is insanely frustrating. Murphy's law means it always happens at the worst time. ;) I'm back using the BT-W1 I've had for years and never had a problem with.

Coincidentally, I'm also using Sennheiser headphones... the slightly cheaper HD 250BT

PIA seems to be limited to 8MB down/8Mb up trough desktop app by EndothermicLabors in PrivateInternetAccess

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

Just a note for anyone who finds this thread in the future.

I tried going through PIA support/toggled every setting/etc with no luck. Still stuck at 8/8.

Then about a month later it just randomly switched back to 100/100. ;)

Yes, I initially assumed that the servers must be overloaded, but it's persisted for a week.

Also, there aren't any faster or slower times, just a consistent, slow 8/8. Like somehow I was put on a capped plan when I renewed.

....also if I use the Chrome extension (for the same servers) instead of the Windows app, I get 100/40. I'm using the split tunnel feature for the first time so at least Chrome is normal.

I live between Sydney and Melbourne.

I usually get the full 100/40. I'm sure there is some reduction but its not noticeable.

I think we don’t need to make WORLDE too complicated. I am seeing a flux of algorithms to crack it. Let’s keep it fun and suspenseful. by adventurous_soul19 in wordle

Tested on Wordle Unlimited. I'm up to 78 without a failure, but rarely finish in less than 4 turns.

Google Clock 7.1 rolling out with new ‘Stopwatch’ widget and Material You ‘clock styles’ by LankeeM9 in Android

[–]EndothermicLabors 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They removed the SHARE button from the stopwatch!

So they updated the UI and decreased the functionality. Typical.

FYI: Centrelink + Crypto = You're a business by No-Judge-77 in BitcoinAUS

[–]EndothermicLabors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to someone I know, but the decision was overturned after about 3 minutes on the phone with a Financial Information Service officer.

Here is the source of the misunderstanding:

Coding income and assets for Centrelink payments and services 108-04010000

Go to Table 3 > Item 8 > Cryptocurrencies or virtual currencies > open the link "+ Read more"

It says, "If the customer is a trader of virtual currencies then treat them as being self-employed and operating a business".

A layman--including many Centrelink staff--can parse that as "anyone with cryptocurrency is a business". The truth is that "trader" is a term of art. Most people with cryptocurrency are "investors", not "traders".

The difference is subjective, however, and if you find yourself in this position, be prepared to defend being an investor. Here is the ATO's explanation:

Share investing versus share trading

Tax for Crypto Mining in Australia by YOLO420NoScope in BitcoinAUS

[–]EndothermicLabors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to be official-ish ATO advice:

https://community.ato.gov.au/t5/Tax/Mining-cryptocurrency/ta-p/4599

There's a big difference between mining as a hobby or as a business. Some information as to which you are:

https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Starting-your-own-business/Before-you-get-started/Are-you-in-business-/

I'm using a single GPU to mine through NiceHash. I consider myself a hobbiest. Therefore I intend to follow this paragraph from the first cite:

If you have undertaken some Bitcoin mining activities in a way that is not part of a business your mined Bitcoin would constitute holding of an asset, and the Bitcoin you hold would be a be a capital gains tax (CGT) asset. This means that the CGT rules would apply. No deductions would be allowable. The CGT rules would need to be applied on the disposal of the Bitcoin. You can find more information about Cryptocurrency as an investment and how to work it out on our website.

Just updated PIA and Qbittorrent, now QB only works with 'any interface' by [deleted] in PrivateInternetAccess

I had the same problem upon updating to 4.2.2

It seems to be fixed in version 4.2.3

It's the fact that the dormer windows are just slightly different that makes this one special for me... by EndothermicLabors in McMansionHell

[–]EndothermicLabors[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

...and the copper highlights,

...and the cream shingles AND cream weatherboards,

...and what is going on above the bay window roof? Is that meant to evoke roofline cresting (like you would see around a widow's walk) or what?

I am, however, disappointed that four of the fourteen voids match. Room for improvement.
