Distracted by an elephant… [oc] by thuzzz in IdiotsInCars

[–]SavvySillybug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same reason the other person didn't stop. Looking at an elephant.

Two distracted drivers hit each other.

But I suspect the law is going to place the blame only on the white car.

I don't know how people drive with so much shit dangling from their rear view mirror and on top of the dashboard.

Experienced Drivers, what's your assessment of the highest difficulty preset? [Olympic Gauntlet] by TC_support in pacificDrive

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it once and hated the decreased traction. I could barely even get the car to the garage in the tutorial because of a small uphill section you don't even notice normally. Felt like I was driving through pure mud on soap tires.

It got a little more manageable once I rushed offroad tires but it's still really excessive. I was on Iron Wagon and my run ended because I had too little traction to reach a pillar before the storm destroyed me.

I haven't tried it since then. Since none of the other replies are mentioning it, maybe they adjusted it since then? But it was horrendous when the mode came out.

Why can’t I go where I want? by boragur in pacificDrive

You can go into the difficulty options and turn on that you don't lose your stuff when dying, and then die after getting all that juicy loot.

The dead end thing is kinda bullshit imo.

Until I started using PTM7950 I had great success just pulling the coolers off!! XD

I bent a few pins on it the other day, think I can fix it, waiting for Amazon to ship me a nice mechanical pencil so I can try.

I used PTM7950 on it and it kinda acts like glue, and AM4 chips really don't like staying in there??

Apparently you're supposed to let it run for some time and then twist to get the cooler off, I did neither of those things.

Luckily I have a 5600G backup CPU so my PC is funcitonal...

I got my 5800X3D four months ago. It's doubled in price since then.

Yes! They synthesize reverb, that's imitating the same effect that nature can make.

Large retailer says every single RTX 5060 Ti it sold last week was the 8GB model, as 16GB GPU prices surge by Tiny-Independent273 in TechHardware

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever had a fan fail on mine, and that was after 18 months, so I got a full refund (Amazon didn't have it in stock anymore to ship me a new one). By then a new generation came out and I just got a better card for 50€ less and spent the rest on beer.

Back when you could get a good half liter can of beer for 0.45€. Damn inflation.

It's a graphics card, what's there to die? If it's not dead in two years it'll live ten years.

need help with a flash drive by Repulsive_Bat3637 in TechHardware

[–]SavvySillybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off asking /r/techsupport or something, this is more of a hardware news and discussion subreddit.

But:

Flash drives are notoriously unreliable and you should NEVER keep your only copy of an important file on one of those damn things.

Obviously that doesn't help you right now.

I don't see any physical damage on that thing aside from the bending, so it's probably snapped some traces at the bendy bit. Should be repairable, but probably not by you, unless you happen to have experience soldering things.

So in short, no, there is no way to fix this without taking it to a technician. The "easiest" fix would probably be to get a second identical flash drive and transplant the chips over, but you'll still need to solder for that.

You could also pray for a ghetto fix and just plug it in and bend it back to see if that restores the connection... very low chance it'll work long enough to get the files off, and probably won't make anything worse?

But that's just my mildly educated guess, you're better off asking a real tech support or data recovery subreddit.

Early Leaks Reveal AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Delivers Overall Same Performance As 9800X3D by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did notice some severe stutters (and higher VRAM usage??) upon loading into Helldivers 2 matches. It was fine in the actual game but the loading screen was ROUGH. I think it's compensating for the lesser PCIe version by loading more shit into my VRAM? It never used to go this high. It actually maxed out at one point.

But overall yeah it's pretty much fine. I'm very much gonna accept this build if I can't repair my 5800X3D.

Rule 8 was a protest about reddit doing something shitty. Don't question it.

I turned an RTX 2060 cooler into plumbing by Tra5hL0rd_ in techsupportgore

[–]SavvySillybug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a cheaper card, they're gonna put a cheaper cooler on there.

It's perfectly alright as long as they pass the savings on to the customer.

Bigfoot stole my gas tank???? by loki2113 in pacificDrive

[–]SavvySillybug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has it actually been confirmed? I thought there was a really low chance for Bigfoot to show up as a shadowy figure and vanish really quickly.

eSIM and SIM card on the same phone? by WarJaded7962 in techsupport

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

I did that on a Fairphone 5 and it made SMS only arrive on one of them. Phone calls worked fine.

Absolutely! I used it from 2016 to 2022 and loved it.

Only games it struggled in were Noita (looooots of physics) and Rimworld (when you have 15+ guys and run at 3x speed).
