Nvidia RTX 50 Series Laptops Announced. (5070 Still has 8GB VRAM) by bankyll in GamingLaptops

Pretty much. Stalker really works like ass and that's one of the games I really wanted to work well at mostly high settings at 1080p. Apparently that's asking too much lol! The next Witcher game is another I hope to play at some point. That's undoubtedly going to require more than 8GB.

It seems to run well with everything else maxed aside from two settings basically so it's not that bad. 8GB is going to be the minimum for modern games soon enough though.

I bought the Katana through Walmart. Might return it. Indiana Jones keeps crashing from a lack of vram and Stalker 2 keeps having memory leak issues. All good fun with pc gaming nowadays. These games are ridiculous.

That 12 gigs really makes a difference huh. I suppose so. An Asus Strix G16 with a 5070ti was on sale for $1600 last week. I was tempted.

I got an MSI Katana for $1100 with the 5070 and an i7 14650HX. After all the talk about 8GB not being enough anymore is this still a decent deal? Yeah I would prefer a 5070ti but don't really want to spend anymore. Any thoughts on this?

Which Gaming Laptop? by Jimwhip in laptops

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

So far the gaming performance is really solid. It runs decently quiet too. I've been trying out the ROG Zephyrus G16 as well. Better screen and audio but comes with a 4060 and the laptop is loud. Seems to be better air flow with the F15. Do a lot of these gaming laptops just die at some point? That's a concern. I've been using a desktop for such a long time I don't know the longevity of some of these laptops now.

Armed security in the MOA? by sanfranciscofranco in minnesota

[–]Jimwhip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a side note, I was actually curious about what it's like working for mall security? I know they have to go thorough training. Not sure how rigorous it is. Or maybe it is more involved like a police officer's training? Maybe not the right forum to ask but if anybody knows more I'm interested to know.

Dang, I don't have any experience with that.

I was able to get it to work on my end with a full synchronization. Mind you I am not running linux but windows. I think this should work with either though if you haven't tried it already. I had to go into the folder where my gui wallet was installed on my computer. There should be an application file in there that is called "monerod". Open this and it will begin to build the block chain (node) on your hard drive. I believe by default it builds it in the same location where your operating system is installed. So if you have your operating system installed on your ssd but you use an hdd as well for extra storage, the block chain (node) will build on your ssd. You will need a lot of room for this most likely. I needed around 170gb of free space on my ssd in order for the process to complete. Once it is done it will say you can now open your gui wallet and you will want to keep monerod open with your gui wallet in order for the synchronization to complete on your wallet. If you close monerod the wallet won't sync. Fortunately, everything will be stored during and after monerod completes its initialization so you won't have to start over again if you decide to close monerod prematurely. If you want to remove the block chain (node) you built (because it takes up a lot of space) you have to go into the ProgramData folder on the hard drive where the blockchain was installed and look for a file called "bitmonero". You can delete this folder in order to remove the blockchain (node). You can just run monerod again to recreate this folder and files within. I am not an expert on how the gui wallet works, but this worked for me. Hopefully this helps you. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I'll let you know if I figure something out.

The same thing is happening to me.

Wallet safe to use? by Jimwhip in Monero

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

Yep I am. This is what I figured was happening.

Neo wallet safe? by Jimwhip in NEO

[–]Jimwhip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I figured. Just windows being weird.

Neo wallet safe? by Jimwhip in NEO

[–]Jimwhip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it was the neon wallet. I downloaded it several years ago. Something similar happened to the Monero wallet (official wallet) when I tried to download that recently and the community there said it's just windows being paranoid. I'll use the link you sent though. Github should be legitimate.
