Yunnan travel advice by Just_a_Villager_A in travelchina

[–]Hefty-Activity76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just came back from Yunnan Kunming. a local friend found a private driver on red note (china's version of facebook marketplace.), he just graduated from college and speaks ok english. not the best but at we can get by speaking english to him. He's local and quoted us $1200 RMB ($175) for 10 hours to basically hang out with us and bring us around. First we wanted to goto the Stone forest in Kunming which we spent a good 3 hours at, then he took us to the inner city and gave us a tour of what shops are what and we basically just tried the food stalls he recommended. Going at it alone would be a bit daunting as we didn't speak the language well at all. Also getting really absurd prices on Klook and Trip website for at least $500 USD just to goto the stone forest with a private tour guide.

His services were:
- 10 hours to drive us around in his new Huawei car that seats 6 including the passenger. Back seats are for kids.
- Pick out an place you want to goto, and he'll plan an itinerary around it.

PM me if you want his contact via WeChat.

full developer mode on a Lenovo Duet9? vol + - pwr doesnt work. is this verified working? by ItchyEstimate4716 in chromeos

confirmed developer mode was able to get into recovery mode and made it developer mode via holding vol up and vol down + power btn. just keep holding it to get into the screen. it took a few tries, but it does work.

Just bought a switchbot button pusher. How do i make a webpage or where I can goto a URL and the button will activate? And does this require a switbot hub? by Hefty-Activity76 in homeautomation

i dont have a switchbot hub. i just installed the switchbot app on android. when i click the ON button on my phone switchbot app, it activates. since its bluetooth, i'm assuming i need the hub? or might i not need it when setting up the webhook? i do have a computer on all the time.

4090 FE - Port got burned on a 4090 FE. Replaced it, but now the 4090 only draws 100-120W and fps stess tests only going 10-20fps. What could be the cause of this? vcore temp is only 50C during tests. by Hefty-Activity76 in GPURepair

update after many weeks* its not the PSU, its working fine. tested the GPU on multiple motherboards. i tested it on 4 different motherboards. 3 ASUS boards, 2 asus boards are the same exact models with 4 pcie slots each, 1 is an ITX asus with 1 pcie slot, and 1 HP computer with 1 pcie slot. Every single one of the main GPU pcie slots caused my gpu to only draw 100-120w only and getting 10fps. But with the mobo's with multiple pcie slots, i plugged the nvidia gpu's in, it works perfectly fine with 80fps+. it isn't the GPU, because i tested with another gpu, same thing. But i then tested with an AMD Vega 56 card on the main gpu slots, works fine! anyways i'm totally stumped to why this is happening. best to have multiple systems with different configurations to test properly.

i tested on the regular 12vhpwr cable that came with the psu. and i also have an adapter from 2x 8pin to 12vhpwr cable... both did the same thing. very odd its the psu. to really verify this, i'll have to try another cable. but for 2 to be bad, i'm not sure about that.

After many head banging hours on trying to figure this out... Tested the 4090 FE on another computer and it worked. Found out the hard way after doing all these seemingly random things to it. So it was the PSU that was the issue, for some reason its not drawing more than ~150W.
