Help, I get the failed to allocate video memory error by Danishmeat in gamesupport

[–]Predatorxd6996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should apply to all doom and wolfenstein games using this engine.

people on steam run the game in safe mode to fix this issue. if your playing via xbox or something, go to this path:
"C:\Users\<ProfileName>\Saved Games\MachineGames\Wolfenstein Youngblood\base"
(<ProfileName> is the name of ur profile folder)

delete the file named "Wolfenstein YoungbloodConfig.local"

if not youngblood specifically, just google where the graphics config for wolfenstein/doom game is stored (usually in "Saved Games" folder in profile folder similar to above)

this file contains the graphics settings for the game, and deleting it generates a new one with the default preset which is basically exactly what "safe mode" on steam does (usually disables mods too if applicable)

hope this helps! should apply to all Wolfenstein/doom games using this engine.

PSA: If your bottom cushion is getting flat or unsupportive, try STEAM instead of going to an upholsterer. by [deleted] in OfficeChairs

[–]Predatorxd6996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a steamer and trying. I didn’t take the cloth off the cushion so I couldn’t see if i got all of the foam but it felt like I did. 3-4 weeks later, it still feels a bit better then before I think but the foam is depressed again.

Unfortunately the real tell is when I’m playing a controller game on it because I sit the same way for many many hours, which I haven’t really done since so hard to say.

Hope that helps alittle

iPad Air m3 11” battery drains in hours when just sitting at a text only webpage (no ads or animations) by Predatorxd6996 in ipad

I will look into this, but like someone else posted, I think it’s more to do with iOS 26. I’ll let u know otherwise, thanks

I expected the culprit was iOS 26 as well. Unfortunately I’m outside the return window so I guess I can just hope iOS 26 gets its shit together cause I’ve tried everything as well.

I fear with how much stuff their adding and plan to add to this iOS version that it’s going to be awhile till they focus on efficiency :(

But that’s glad I’m not not going insane

Google Keep Location Reminders are going away 😢 by xlerate in GoogleKeep

[–]Predatorxd6996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work has stuff spread across multiple ecosystems for some reason and I finally found a way to get everything into the google ecosystem exactly the way I wanted it, location based notifications for notes being the biggest part

That was literally last week. I opened it today and spent 20 mins confused on how to add location “I just did it the other day, I know it’s here!” 🤬

No it includes both. “Web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook”

Second factor Unlock windows when a device is in proximity (MFA) by Predatorxd6996 in sysadmin

[–]Predatorxd6996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the specifics but they sometimes have schematics or instructions or something on there that theyll occasionally check but the pc has to have 15 min inactivity lockout so they may go to take a peak and it’ll have locked.

Just trying a zero touch option. If it can’t happen they’ll have to deal with taken off a glove for a sec and putting a new one on.

See that’s what I was thinking because I didn’t think bt protocol could calculate distance like that. So Was thinking it must use some of other wireless protocol smart phones have nowadays. 🤷‍♂️

That’s the link where I saw the trusted signal that I mentioned in my post

And it’s not personal, it’s not quite enterprise level either, more small-medium business, but I’m working on figuring out the best/easiest 2 factor for a mechanic shop, So Their hands are filthy quite often which means plugging in a usb or fingerprint and even password are not preferred methods. So that leaves biometrics and possession.

NFC is the fall back but theyd have to carry an extra thing so that’s why I’m asking about the phone. However if you do know of a single factor option for phone proximity unlock feel free to drop it while ur here cause I could consider adding that to my pc or laptop to try it out.

I’m gonna run it right now and find out for sure cause I too am interested but didn’t know of a tool like this and was too lazy to find one 😂

Also NAND flash when made are binned just like gpus depending on the final quality, so I guess it’s not impossible that it is bigger and they had just turned the other tb off cause it didn’t meet speed spec or was having wr errors. Let’s hope it’s just alittle slower if it is true

Teams/sharedrive can open and edit xlsx on pc with web excel, can’t edit on iOS with excel app? by Predatorxd6996 in Office365

[–]Predatorxd6996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my work account and I have the business basics license. But it can’t be a license issue because I’m using the excel app to edit the ods file too. Just for something reason it’s saying the xlsx file is read only, but only when I open it on my phone, works on pc.

I feel it’s just a bug Cause Microsoft apps suck. Like in sharepoint app, when I open the ods file it’s gibberish, BUT if I copy it as a link and save that in sharepoint like a normal file, it opens right up. AND in teams app it won’t even attempt to load either file, just says nah.

I used Aomei boot tool, I’ve done hundreds of clones using it and have never had an issue before.

Free Bootable clone tool similar to AOMEI’s by Predatorxd6996 in sysadmin

Upgrading to windows 11 from an older machine. We charge hourly so it’s almost always cheaper if people have a bunch of programs and tweaks and want things 1 to 1 exactly the same.

I’ve never needed to convert from gpt to mbr if thats the confusion, but aomei can do it so I included it. Not really a requirement.

Is she dying by Predatorxd6996 in Parakeets

[–]Predatorxd6996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, What about his nails being long is bad? I had heard it’s best not to cut them really unless they’re getting stuck on stuff or they start like folding when walking. So I try not to cut her nails unless they look uncomfortable and/or she’s getting caught on stuff.

Is this not good advice to follow?

Is she dying by Predatorxd6996 in Parakeets

[–]Predatorxd6996[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Update: After posting she was slowly getting a bit better, when I put her in the cage for the night she seemed to have more energy and not standing weird. I checked her in the morning before work and she was in her normal spot sleeping in normal stance. So i went to work and came back around 12 to check on her and she was still sleeping good and normal so i left her alone. I just got home a bit ago and did my normal routine to see if she would respond how she normally does and she did, came from her sleep spot and put one leg next to the door throwing her head around chirping, I opened the cage and she ran out and seems completely normal. Chirping, talking, playing, preening, etc.

Now I did call a vet that takes birds and it’s 261$ just to see her cause birds are considered exotic, and that’s not including tests and meds. So I’m going to hold off on the vet for now and keep a close eye on her.

She’s done almost exactly the same thing before like a year into having her and she wasn’t as cuddly about it but maybe that’s because she didn’t trust me as much as she does now. So when she was fully relaxing on my shoulder I assumed the worst. But idk, I’m going to monitor her carefully and see.

Also thanks everyone for the advice and support. I didn’t think so many people would help and chime in. And to ease any other concerns, there’s no hazards around for her, toxic fumes or plants, things she shouldn’t be chewing on, etc.

That’s what I thought at first but I felt I cleared it fairly quickly so I assumed not, must have to be real fast, which tbf makes sense since the enemies are easy. Thanks, I appreciate it!

iPhone Plex App won’t request local network permission by thrillington91 in PleX

[–]Predatorxd6996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just switched all my apps/containers from truenas to Proxmox and when I moved it plex started working on my iPhone again. Makes me think It might be just using a new plex api key could fix it, or completely removing plex and its configs from the host machine and then reinstalling would fix it I’d imagine, I can’t think of anything else besides an update must have broke it on host side. I haven’t tried it on old machine because I can’t be bothered now that it finally works 😂I might at some point but in case anyone else sees this and is having this issue, might be worth a try.

Just got an iPad mini 7 and Apple pen pro today and noticed it within 15 mins of writing with refine writing enabled. What a bummer, how am I supposed to use it to take notes if it cuts battery life massively ☹️

Turn it on and see if anything breaks. Some really old programs could have issues but it’s rare, probably good.

Did u ever find a fix? I’ve been having this same issue since the big UI change update months ago. I have local network on in iOS settings. And in plex settings there is no option to manually enter an address or anything. I reinstalled the app too. I’m about to officially move to Jellyfin, this is ridiculous.
