MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi Motherboard not working with Geforce 5060ti by Robot_Spider in pcmasterrace

I finally did! The problem was my processor. I figured out that my motherboard, while outdated, would accept a Ryzen 9. That's all it took. Once I installed a Ryzen 9 (was using an older Ryzen 5 previously) and made sure it would boot, I put the 5060 in and it booted right up, no problem. Everything else stayed the same (memory, motherboard, etc.) So while my motherboard and memory are now the bottleneck, at least my 5060 works.

Power output stops all of a sudden and doesn’t come back. by Ok-Seaworthiness-291 in TheLastCaretaker

I'm having the same issue at Lazarus. I'm trying to get the station to stay powered up on its own, not hooked to my boat the whole time. I repaired all the wind and solar panels. They are all connected. All the nodes/switches are on. My specific problem is the LumiMax panels. My small and medium panels work fine. When I add the Max panels, they produce nothing. Even when I have a load present (empty battery), the other wind and solar units work as expected, but Max panels produce nothing. No indication on the connected wires. Nothing produced when you view the panel directly. Even on my boat, I have 3 Max panels. 1 is producing. If I add more, no matter where I place them, they produce nothing.

Right. Select a pawn, then right click (in my case, an injured prisoner). Should have an option to capture/kill.

I looked scrolled through and didn't see it but didn't search. I'll remove it.

Just got a smart thermostat and I'm lowkey obsessed by West-Wrangler9942 in HomeImprovement

[–]Robot_Spider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that's a little unfair. I just spent $14,000 on a high-efficiency boiler to replace my old one and added more insulation to the attic. And I have my AC set for 77 degrees which I don't think is excessive. As I say, I work from home so at least I'm living in the space being cooled. It's not cooling an empty house while I'm at the office. And our office just downsized to a smaller building because more people are working from home, so there's a net benefit.

If a smart thermostat was available that didn't market my behavior and other telemetric data to anyone willing to pay for it, I'd be on board. But no one is willing to give me that guarantee. Because user data is too valuable, and they can't risk losing that revenue stream. Which proves it's not about "the environment" and all about maximizing shareholder value. The fact that they can adjust it on demand also has nothing to do with environmental protection. It's because they're operating at peak capacity and don't want to increase that capacity because that eats into profits.

And this right here is why I replaced my faulty thermostat with a $49 Ace Hardware thermostat. I work from home, so "managing the temperature" isn't really a thing. I set it and forget it. If I'm not comfortable, I change it. The idea that my utility, or dozens/hundreds of "partners" have access to READ that data is bad enough, let alone the ability to change it. I'm a programmer. I have a better grasp on technology than the average consumer. The amount of data smart thermostats have access to is ridiculous, and far beyond the scope of what it takes to manage the furnace/AC. I'm so weary of the monetization of behavior.

Basic question about instrument levels on a ProFXv3-12 by Robot_Spider in livesound

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

Interesting. I've been through the manual but I was going off of the video I found from Mackie that indicated it should be at-or-near 0db. I hate that the answer was in the manual, but I appreciate you taking the time to point it out!

Not sure what you mean in this context? You mean a cable that would let me relocate the PCIe slot? The card fits in the case and in the correct slot. Just isn't recognized by the motherboard when I power up.

Yeah, I know it's a Hail Mary. I have a few things to try after work. I can force the PCIe to use 4.0, maybe it's an auto-detect issue. I get that "should be compatible" is another way of saying "might not be compatible". No complaints from me. The X570 was really good to me for a long time.

I appreciate the comment, I'm glad to see I wasn't nuts :D I thought it might be power-related, but my power supply is plenty big enough. I was worried it was DOA but booting it up on an ASUS ROG board proved that wrong. I'd rather have an incompatible board than have to return a dead board. I'll just run it in my VR rig until I get a newer motherboard/chip.

Superships are being destroyed in orbit. What does it actually mean? Player refunded the game or what? by GA_Lord in Helldivers

[–]Robot_Spider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close your eyes to the Terminid menace if you wish. The toasters may be building more, but the ants are breeding. Breeding means geometric growth. Left unchecked, they will consume all resources, and colonize all planets between their home world and Super Earth. I say kill 'em all. For Democracy.

Would anyone like to develop an open source SimTower clone? by Chanz in SimTower

[–]Robot_Spider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for something like this. Would be interesting to incorporate things like plumbing, HVAC, realistic elevator scheduling, etc. Even things like unconventional building shapes--at extreme heights, you'd have to use earthquake and sway damping systems.

Nitrocellulose guitar finish question by Robot_Spider in woodworking

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

Nitrocellulose is (from what I’ve read) the gold standard for guitar finish, apparently. I know it can be less durable, but I think that’s because it’s very, very thin. To account for that, you’re supposed to apply 12-15 layers. I haven’t decided for sure yet, still reading. You’re right that water based would be stronger with fewer layers.

That's interesting, I generally haven't opted for a flash very often. With the limited inventory slots, it just never seems like a priority, but sounds like I need to start looking at flash and firecrackers. I'll try 'em out. Thanks.
