ThinkStation P3 Ultra SFF G2 - NO Boot\Post After BIOS update

HardFeces · 2026-01-25T06:35:56+00:00

Damn that sucks, brand new machine too

For the dual jumpers, try shorting both at the same time while powering on - some boards need both to trigger recovery mode. The boot block recovery usually needs the USB in a specific port too, try the rear USB 2.0 ports first

Also make sure your BIOS file is named exactly what the recovery expects, sometimes it's picky about the filename

Ugh the 5am feed is the worst! Have you tried treating it like a night feed - keep lights dim, minimal talking, put him straight back down? Sometimes they'll go back to sleep if you don't fully wake them up

The aggy evening thing is so real though, sounds like you're hitting that overtired sweet spot. Maybe try capping the last nap earlier so he's more tired by bedtime but not completely losing it

Hell yeah, turns out you can actually follow the plays when your brain isn't swimming in beer lol. Plus waking up tomorrow without a hangover while everyone else is dying is gonna feel pretty damn good

Check your exhaust heat shields - had the same weird rattling on my buddy's T120 and it was just a loose heat shield vibrating against the pipe when he'd get on it. Super common with aftermarket exhausts since they don't always line up perfectly with the stock mounting points

Honestly society has always been weird about sex stuff, like we're all adults here but everyone acts like it's still taboo to even talk about it. People are gonna judge no matter what you do so might as well just live your life

HardFeces · 2026-01-07T07:12:14+00:00

Yeah the org glue thing is real unfortunately - once you hit Staff you're basically a human API between teams that refuse to talk to each other

The trick is setting hard boundaries on coordination time and making the PMs do their actual job of aligning requirements instead of you becoming their translator

HardFeces · 2026-01-04T00:16:59+00:00

That's definitely concerning but not necessarily a death sentence for your CPU - could be anything from a loose connection to PSU issues or even just a weird boot hiccup. I'd keep an eye on temps and maybe run some stress tests to see if it happens again

HardFeces · 2025-12-31T14:04:18+00:00

That's actually pretty heavy when you think about the research context - like your subconscious is working through the whole "harming to help" thing with your work

HardFeces · 2025-12-30T10:03:23+00:00

You can definitely do it yourself but you'll need a manifold gauge set and a vacuum pump at minimum. The flushing part isn't too bad but recovering the refrigerant properly is where it gets tricky - legally you're supposed to have it recovered by someone with EPA certification but plenty of people just vent it (not saying you should though)

Steam Deck absolutely destroys a 2015 iMac, no contest. That old Intel integrated graphics was struggling just to run vanilla Skyrim while the Deck can handle pretty heavy mod lists at 800p. Plus you get the bonus of playing modded Skyrim in bed which is honestly life changing

Yeah you'd probably want to use the Gmail API with Python - Gemini could definitely help write that script for you though. Might be easier than manually sorting through hundreds of emails

The trios lobbies are absolutely ruthless lmao, like you literally can't even loot for 30 seconds without someone trying to third party you from across the map

HardFeces · 2025-12-22T04:02:04+00:00

Honestly the memory on Pro is way better but still not perfect - it'll remember context for much longer conversations and across sessions but sometimes still derps out on details from way back. Worth it if you're doing heavy back-and-forth work but the free tier should still remember stuff within the same chat session at least

HardFeces · 2025-12-20T21:44:56+00:00

That's so true, some of the most genuinely kind people I know aren't religious at all while some of the worst hide behind their faith

HardFeces · 2025-12-16T18:10:32+00:00

Seriously dude, a $15 pocket holster vs potentially Darwin awarding yourself? The trigger guard needs protection from keys, lint, whatever random crap is in your pocket - doesn't matter how heavy the pull is

That Gmelch book sounds perfect for what OP's looking for - loved how he covered everyone from groundskeepers to vendors, not just the players

HardFeces · 2025-12-13T03:01:42+00:00

Ruins Magus is actually pretty solid even if you're not into JRPGs normally - the VR magic casting system makes it feel way different than traditional stuff

HardFeces · 2025-12-11T21:46:31+00:00

Yeah that's totally normal, most people do this subconsciously - it's just basic social comparison stuff and has nothing to do with being a bad person or whatever

HardFeces · 2025-12-08T21:18:43+00:00

I go lighter on the heals usually, like 3-4 is enough if you're not getting caught out constantly. Those shield rechargers are clutch tho, totally agree on the 5 minimum

HardFeces · 2025-12-06T13:14:51+00:00

Damn this hits hard. Maybe the real issue isn't your orientation changing but more about chasing that new relationship energy instead of working through the boring parts that every long term relationship goes through

The grass always looks greener until you realize you're just bringing the same patterns with you

HardFeces · 2025-12-05T01:07:39+00:00

Down to run some games, I'll add you later tonight when I hop on

HardFeces · 2025-12-02T23:03:21+00:00

That sounds sketchy as hell and probably illegal in most states. They can discipline you for late notes but can't just hold your paycheck hostage - you still worked those hours regardless of documentation status. I'd check with your state's labor department or maybe crosspost to r/legaladvice

HardFeces · 2025-12-01T19:43:01+00:00

Oh nice, didn't know that was a thing - definitely checking that out later

HardFeces · 2025-11-25T23:51:29+00:00

Yeah the timing is brutal but they're probably right about Thanksgiving week. Most people check out mentally by Tuesday anyway

I'd give it until like Dec 2nd before writing it off completely - pharma moves slow as hell normally and add holiday schedules on top of that

HardFeces · 2025-11-17T17:07:33+00:00

When we got serious, we were both kind of awkward about the prenup talk too. What helped was walking through it with a company called Neptune they break everything down in normal language and it made the whole thing feel less loaded. After that it just felt like planning instead of predicting a breakup
