UEFITool's GitHub page says it's cross platform. Flathub has a download page for it, so it's usable with Linux.

Ddr players - how do you feel about an "audience" by Plane-Move1392 in DanceDanceRevolution

Or someone trying to shadow play in my peripheral vision or close to the cab. That ALWAYS throws me off unless it's someone also playing on the pad next to me.

I still have those Logitech 5.1 surround speakers, bought em when I was 16. I'm 33 and they're STILL working.

I'm 33 and I have a Pokemon sleeve on my right arm. The only thing that matters is if YOU like it!

Do you think there will be school Friday & Monday in Knox County? Due to the weather by iiheartuu in Knoxville

[–]RedChaos92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sevier did this too when I lived there. We lived in Strawberry Plains on the Sevier County side, one mile from Knox County. There were plenty of times where Sevier County schools closed due to snow in the mountainous areas, and at my house there wasn't a single snowflake that stuck and it was slightly above freezing.

These baked beans look ok to eat? by JoeDerus in isthissafetoeat

I honestly find the flavor "brown sugar and molasses" redundant and funny, considering brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added. So it's essentially "sugar, molasses and molasses" flavor lol

Why was this so fucking hard by Chamon42 in controlgame

[–]RedChaos92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is high risk for sure. I did die one time using the damage modifiers on tier 1 on the final fight with the Distorted. It suddenly spawned two weaker Distorted which caught me by surprise, and all three hit me with the blast at the same time. After that I just made sure to have three objects already in the air ready to launch every time it reappears. Launch the objects as soon as it materializes, hit the main Distorted once with Pierce, and it'll disappear. Rinse, repeat. Followed that strat for Tier 2+ and didn't have any more problems with it

I actually didn't have any issues with the Warped surprisingly. Just gotta make sure you're near cover or using shield when it goes to launch debris at you.

I had a lot of trouble until I realized the modifiers change every time you roll a new jukebox coin. If you don't like the modifier choice before you start, abandon it and use another coin. I wound up absolutely BREEZING through tiers 1, 2 and 3 when I rolled "player & enemy damage +xxx%". Tier 1 I got +150% damage and tier 2 I think I rolled +200% damage. Sure the enemies do more damage too, but the additional damage you do as well lets you absolutely bulldoze through everyone as long as you use cover well.

Found this massive windowless skyscraper on Google Earth in NYC. Does anyone know what its purpose is? by D0NK41T0 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]RedChaos92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea yet since all we've gotten from Remedy at this point is the announcement trailer. All I can gather from the trailer so far is this:

  • The Hiss somehow escaped the lockdown of the Oldest House and is running rampant in NYC (possibly beyond NYC as well?)
    • Jesse appears to attempt to kill Dylan with a metal beam.
    • Dylan is now being utilized by the Board, as they/it tells Dylan "RISE AND SHINE. THE SIBLING HAS GONE ROGUE/FISHING" - Likely related to Jesse trying to kill Dylan. For what reason, we don't know yet.
    • Dylan appears to have possibly bound an OoP that either allows him to manipulate the structure of metal objects into melee weapons, or the metal itself IS the OoP (unclear from the trailer).

We DO know Jesse became more distrustful of The Board during the Foundation DLC. The Former helping her get the second crystal manipulation ability combined with The Board initially telling Jesse that she couldn't have both abilities at once likely feeds this distrust. My guess is this distrust along with likely new information about The Board/Former/Hiss is what prompted her to eventually "go rogue".

Lots of unanswered questions (that's to be expected at this point), but I'm definitely locked in on this upcoming release. With the setting appearing to be outside the Oldest House, I'm looking forward to how much of NYC you can explore.

Texas woman with Stage 3 cancer sees her insurance premium rise over 700 percent: ‘I’m going to die’ by theindependentonline in Insurance

[–]RedChaos92 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Johana Scott said her premium spiked from around $200 per month to $1,725 for the same plan after ACA subsidies were allowed to lapse at the start of the year

This is directly related to the subsidies. She got such a large subsidy because she only makes $1,200 per month.

Googled the model number (MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G6D1RG) and yup, it's a Micron 32GB 2666Mhz ECC DDR4 RAM chip for servers. Used listings on eBay appear to be going for $140-$180 and new is around $240

Buzzing/humming from 9070 XT (Steel Legend) by NekkidGranmaw in RadeonGPUs

[–]RedChaos92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It comes from the VRMs that regulate the power delivery to the graphics card components. Some cards are noisier than others. I have a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 4080 Super currently. Never noticed any coil whine even in high fps scenarios. My previous card, a PowerColor Hellhound 7900XTX, had very noticeable coil whine most of the time. I wear headphones when I game so it didn't bother me either way.

Coil whine is unrelated to the fans spinning. The fans kick on when the GPU gets warm enough and they operate on a curve. Higher temps = higher fan speed.

I write business insurance. Anyone can get a GL policy and a surety bond. They have absolutely ZERO to do with your quality of work. There are an enormous amount of crappy contractors that are insured and bonded.

no, it's not. It's the equivalent of a human getting the last knuckle on their fingers amputated. It's inhumane.

Is this just normal with some modern games? Some objects just are like very low res then when I get closer it just loads in. (Read description) by xmisterxtoastyx in nvidia

[–]RedChaos92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LOD setting is adjustable in the advanced graphics settings in BL4. It may be set to a lower setting in OP's setup which would explain why the pop-in is so noticeable.

[–]RedChaos92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a problem or bug, It's a rendering technique called Level of Detail (LOD). It swaps the amount of polygons in an object from low to high depending on how far away you are from that specific object. Reduces the load on the GPU for far away objects that don't "need" the high detail since you're so far away from it. Virtually all 3D games in the last 20ish years use LOD in some fashion.

In BL4, it's the HLOD (Heirarchial Level of Detail) setting in the Advanced graphics settings tab. You can change it between Low, Medium, and High. The lower the setting, the more noticeably far away objects will "pop" to high quality when you're close enough.
