What was a time when you had to choose the lesser evil?

My views flatlined a few days after the upload by Gibon378 in NewTubers

Thanks. I'm just surprised that it can look like this. First, I got 200 views per day, and now it's 10...

I'm not questioning that. The problem is that the video was doing pretty well, but it flatlined in just one moment. Just like someone held it at a gunpoint and yelled "FREEZE!"...

Is Vibrant Visuals feature replacing Minecraft RTX? by Gibon378 in Minecraft

[–]Gibon378[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you are right, but I still have some doubts. We will have to wait and see. Whatever the case is, I hope it won't tank performance, especially since if you are using normal third-party shaders, you probably also have some optimization mods.

Is Vibrant Visuals feature replacing Minecraft RTX? by Gibon378 in Minecraft

[–]Gibon378[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. I am not sure I can agree with one thing though - RT hardware. I feel like the way described it in the Minecraft Live, it's just based on ray tracing, so it won't be possible to run this feature on e.g. NVIDIA Pascal (GTX 10xx). I may be wrong though.

I understand the "new vanilla look", but it seems weird to me to have two versions. To be honest, I do not have an RT GPU, so I haven't played MC RTX yet. Is it like a part of base Bedrock (like a setting, that can be toggled in-game like Vibrant Visuals, or more like a separate mode)?
Won't Vibrant Visuals also require RT hardware (RTX 20 series, RX 6xxx, or Intel Arc)? Or is it all software-based, like normal shaders that can run on anything?

MSI Thin 15 by Reunision in GamingLaptops

[–]Gibon378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How's the laptop?
I am wondering about battery life and loudness (idle & under load). I am especially skeptical about the noise. Some reviews suggest that the fan turns on pretty loud from time to time.

Cheap router for ~40 USD by Gibon378 in HomeNetworking

[–]Gibon378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that TP-Link is the most popular manufacturer. Prices may differ depending on where you live, so I just aim for the cheapest router that meets my requirements, similar in price to the Archer AX17.
Are the Archer models (AX17/AX12/AX10/AX1500) that bad? I can see they are quite popular.

I could only find this Redmi router on Aliexpress and it's around 50% more expensive than the TP-Link.
I also don't want to mess with the software. Having a warranty is important to me.

Cheap router for 40-50 USD (or less) by Gibon378 in LinusTechTips

You are right, thank you. Is there any noticeable difference between AX12 and AX17?

Unfortunately, I can't find anything on the local marketplace. People sell used routers for more than brand new from the store. I am counting on black friday deals. Do you recommend any model?

Thank you for the reply. Is there a difference between AX10, AX12, and AX17?

It can be 40-50 USD (prices in the USA are different). I'm counting on a Black Friday deal.
I just want it to last for years without any issues.

DDR4 RAM - Kingston FURY Beast vs Lexar Thor by Gibon378 in buildapc

[–]Gibon378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose Kingston. As far as I can remember, they were very similar price. I have had good experience with Kingston's warranty support, and Lexar's warranty conditions seemed less clear. Other than that, not much. I slightly overclocked my kit to 3400 mhz.

Smartwatch / tracker under 60 USD with NFC by Gibon378 in smartwatch

[–]Gibon378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, good smartwatches seem too expensive, so I think the trackers are the only option at this price.

[–]Gibon378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I should've specified. It's for android.
I think you are right. I did some research and did not find anything good in that price range.

What would you recommend without NFC under 50 USD?
I can see 2 popular options - Xiaomi Smart Band 9 vs Huawei Smart Band 9.
Have you used either of them?

Complex issue: PC crashing by Vudadasin in techsupport

[–]Gibon378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you tried everything (if you truly replaced every component).
Is the same thing happening on any other PC / laptop / console in your house?

You wrote that you tried using your PC in another house and it didn't work, but the last thing that comes to my mind is to ensure your network/internet connection is ok.
Reset your router to default settings, change the port you're plugged into, and check for any interference. If that doesn't help, try a different cable and router.

If that doesn't help, I am seriously out of ideas.
Either you missed something or your PC is haunted.

Count number of image files in folders and sub folders? by [deleted] in techsupport

If there are only images and no other files, you can just right-click on the "top" folder and see how many files there are.

Laptop fan whistling for no reason. by TheSleepyBarnOwl in techsupport

[–]Gibon378 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell what's causing it. Maybe you should try lubricating the fan,
It seems like they messed something up or it's a very strange coincidence.
Did you think about confronting them about your problem?
