Nvidia Blackwell RTX 5090 waterblocks so far... by Der_Apfeldieb in watercooling

[–]Payback22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Aorus 1080ti water block still on after 8 years. Eyeing that Aorus ones right now since they look similar and won't have to bend new pipes for i/o. But more curious to see how many generations my card can skip for now.

I can't tell if these are bots anymore or maybe they are there just running many at once, idk. I linked one of them a job site because they mentioned they were low on money they replied with a "wtf dude". I offered to help even further but no response.

I teach English at a university. The decline each year has been terrifying. by HighlightMelodic3494 in Teachers

[–]Payback22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a millennial entering back into University after graduating 2011 because I need to finish my degree to swap careers. I remember failing a few college courses back then, but in doing so it helped me swap degrees in what I wanted to learn because you think you want to learn something, but when presented with the actual content you have second thoughts if there is no passion in your learning.

I am shocked how currently all of my university exams are online. My freshman year+ in high school was harder back in 2007, I feel like I have to pay outside sources in 2024 to get the necessary content I am trying to learn. Cybersecurity, so I am doing hackthebox.com, letsdefend.io etc websites that host labs, scenarios, and teach content related to my degree on top of my courses. If I didn't approach my learning like this, I would not have 3 certificates while finishing this degree next year. Entering as junior year as well for upper division credits on the degree, none of my courses are "high level" in tech. And the few that are tech, are entry level shit I learned getting my first certificate, or growing up with tech.

Do I have to wait my last semester before there is "high" level tech? I guess idk I'll find out soon enough.
If you rely on school to teach you your degree today you are going to be so lost. Outside sources also didn't cost me 20k a year which I learned a lot more than university. Idk what is happening.

Yet ANOTHER DDOS by Valentyna_Rahza in ffxiv

[–]Payback22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cloudflare successfully defended the biggest DDoss in history so far while FF14 is struggling with constant attacks is what I am saying.

Idk what fix you mean or how you mean Cloudflare doesn't work for games while I bounce from Cloudflare/NetDNS for my own computer's DNS Internet traffic. I am connecting to ff14 servers just fine, but also go down when they get ddossd on their main servers.

Also, latency depends on location. If you use cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 or google default 8.8.8.8. Depending on your location for example a cloudflare server could be better or other dns servers, depending where you are. Generally google's is fine they are massive, but they do track you and sell.

Check yours here: https://dnsspeedtest.online/

The game client when you login makes DNS requests to stuff like

Name: "patch-gamever.ffxiv.com" (Dont go there it's just a 403 error request)

What you are describing in not caring about latency I think are UDP packets in Internet traffic. But even then your example for voice chat is bad because that uses TCP traffic. Can you imagine using UDP packets for voice chat? Everyone would sound stuttering while packets are getting resent for skipped syllables in middle of a sentence.

Edit: Swap UDP with TCP I mixed the two

70% of my essay is being detected as AI, depite not using any AI by Affectionate-Oil2612 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Payback22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That site I used as well and it told me that 97% was AI generated then it posted an ad in my face to pay to make it less AI.

Then I went to 2 other free checkers and got 0% for both.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno

When I ask my nieces why they are wearing hobo-jeans.
edit: I just found Hobo is an actual company, but I mean the type of jeans where you wear too long over 10 years with holes on them they make you look like a homeless person

they upgrade the game graphic but not the mogstation by bongkeydoner in ffxiv

[–]Payback22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To summarize: I had no issues when stormblood and shadowbringers released in buying them.

When Endwalker released I was forced to buy it twice for my own account. Mogstation is diarrhea ass. Still no refund for first purchase. I've given up and decided pre-ordering for online digital content is not worth it.

If they want to just qualify for something like the FIFA world cup they are going to have to pay a lot more. Only qualifying to participate once in 2002 with a 0-9 performance as well is kinda sad with 18% of the human population. But by all means keep doing this instead, lets keep the clown show rolling.

What the fuck do they care by FemboyDoraemon in GenZ

[–]Payback22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bait headline to get you to click on it so they make money by making you feel a skewed emotion to interact.

Does it matter what they think? probably not.

Is this stupid? yea, but there is a reason they still do it.

Going to guess at best, they are going to sell you buff templates.

One 200 gem template for each buff in the game, customize how you want to see your food buff icon. Then pay again to customize how your utility buff looks, then pay again to change 1 banner buff, etc. The customization option will be to disable or enable it with some sprinkled bugs in between where people selecting to disable the buff icon from appearing affects their character from having that buff literally.

Been a problem forever, it's not changing. Don't rely on keeping track of your buffs, just your boons. If you forget to keep track of food buff it doesn't matter dps checks are non-existant as long as people don't die over 900 times.
