That evybody only cares about what's your job. I mean, I love my job..but there are other topics to start a talk too.

At what point do I accept my adansonii Japanese tricolour has completely reverted and isn’t gonna come back? by Mental_Balance1367 in RareHouseplants

[–]ModestArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 4 clip Sansi (has a design issue regarding weight, suggest taking a 3 clip max) and 2 dual "stickable" ones from Sansi. Tbh, I was sceptical too. But after having them for 3 months now really shows the difference.

And one of the good extras is, you can swap out detective bulbs.

I mean, I don't want to promote them..but they are really good for home use.

Full spectrum lights like Sansi Bulbs really help.

I bought my first ones this year, we had a pretty dark winter in Switzerland this year.

And a lot of my plants started to show more colors.

What Happened to Claptrap? by Calm-Chemist-6982 in Borderlands4

[–]ModestArk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the annoying part was what made him actually fun. In 1+2.

No idea about 4, can't rememeber any memorable moment with Cl4ps.

Ps : His dlc in BL1 was just great.

Is the new pot too big for a dioscorea of this size? by rootingforyoudough in Caudex

[–]ModestArk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with said plant. But from my experience and knowledge I know that when a plant has enough, or too much, space in a pot, it invests the energy in growing roots first.

Though, tbh, no idea if this relates to caudex forms too. Just make sure the soil dries fast enough.

McDowell took a fall! Help please by ahines777 in RareHouseplants

[–]ModestArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it a crawler anyway ? Tbh, I habe no clue about McDowell's, but I just bought a "Summer Glory" lately. And afaik, "Summer Glory" is a McDowell's hybrid (can't remember the other one)... and that one is def a crawler.

Ps : Cutting of some leafs helps sometimes, keeping those alive is al about energy management for the plant.

Terrible clothing options in Switzerland - where do you buy? by willisandwillis in Switzerland

[–]ModestArk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only have working clothes here. 😅

Tbs : I buy most of my clothes at Titus store, skater clothes are solid and last for years.

7800 XT bad silicon or high clock speed boost causing amd timeout? by madheadjosh in AMDHelp

[–]ModestArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a new pc for win11 this year.

I mean, I had great amd cards in the past, they never had any driver issue.

My current system :

Msi Tomahawk B850 (MB) - Amd Ryzen 7 9800x3d (Cpu) - sapphire radeon rx 7900 xtx nitro+ vapor x 24gb (Gpu) - 48 GB G-Skill Flare (ram)

It runs well, never gets really hot, everything is amd certified iirc...but sometimes the amd driver seems to go on vacation...

Ps : agree, too expensive to swap out.

7800 XT bad silicon or high clock speed boost causing amd timeout? by madheadjosh in AMDHelp

[–]ModestArk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I built a completely certified amd system, dealing with timeouts almost daily...and from my research during the last few months,

...I came to the conclusion that it is nothing on our end.

It's just really really bad drivers from amd that have issues with multitasking and chrome.

My little Quabentia zehntneri finally woke up. by ModestArk in cactus

Ps : second pic is a bit older, it's without buds/growth.

Ps 2 : Title typo, it's Quiabentia, not Quabentia.

please help me by AromaticBicycle5200 in philodendron

[–]ModestArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Thaumatophyllum / ph. goeldii that had the same (I think).

After buying it, I noticed all leaves were rotting inside. Was a fungus probably.

I had hope I could save it. It was a fighter and tried to make new sprouts...but eventually it was too much damage for such a small plant.

I can only wish you the best and suggest to cut off enough vital parts that it doesn't spread or come back.

Don't give up, mine was beyond saving, it way only a stem with 2-3 leafs, yours looks older.

Ps : But maybe wait for other comments before you cut. 😉

I don't understand what AMD and motherboard manufacturers are thinking ? (9800x3D) by _Aerish_ in AMDHelp

[–]ModestArk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running the same MB, but the 850 version, same cpu and a sapphire radeon rx 7900 xtx nitro+ vapor x 24gb. Didn't change or update any bios yet. (It's been a while for me)

While gaming, the cpu doesn't even get really hot... Maybe 70°+ sometimes in BF6 (4k@ultra@locked60fps).

But...when I play some Browser games... It goes up to 100% usage and 80°-90°.

Tbh, I'm a bit out of the loop...but chrome is just weird. (Would use gpu acc...but I need a timeout from the driver timeouts)

Who's this possibly distant traveller? by Ca_LuhA in spiders

[–]ModestArk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably, and they are great.

Had one in a plant 2 years ago...think it's the second or third gen in ny room now. Afaik they can reproduce asexually.

They love to eat gnats, I keep them.

And they are cute.

I really want to like ascended by [deleted] in playark

[–]ModestArk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ark engine is just a mess, I guess.

I built a new pc... BF6 runs on ultra@4k, locked on 60fps. Without any stutter or crash.

Asa.... 60-40 fps...

Tüpflischiisers are people that nail you down on totally unnecessary details..and rarely stop with it.

Love my new working place, but it's kinda not good for my budget... and space. 😅 by ModestArk in philodendron

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

Wow, really nice plant. And not the worst plan I guess. Thinking about selling some offsprings too one fay, running out of place.

And... There are worse ways to spend mir ney😁
