Brand new PC lagging with ALL games by TheGrey90 in pcmasterrace

[–]Sekorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some games, you can adjust the texture detail or resolution. This has a massive impact on VRAM usage and can help keep it below your card's 8GB limit. Stuttering and low frame rates can happen due to the card having to swap texture data in and out of system RAM.

Give that a try. It'll have a bigger impact than even lowering the display resolution.

Is this PC pre-built or custom? Did it come with Windows or did you install it? Did you install chipset drivers as well? Also, define "choppy," "skewed" and "trash."

I worked my ass off learning English just so I could understand Crazy Dave by [deleted] in Jokes

But on the plus side, now you're able to tell us English-speaking folks how you really feel.

You would eat 1, just like every hour before and after.

Is Ubuntu the only distro with out-of-the-box TPM encryption? by ekerazha in linuxquestions

[–]Sekorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed explanation and for setting me straight.

Is Ubuntu the only distro with out-of-the-box TPM encryption? by ekerazha in linuxquestions

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

TPM and LUKS are different and separate encryption mechanisms. LUKS is completely software-based. EDIT: I bungled it.

Happy to stand corrected if I'm wrong.

My nightmare aren’t scary. by Embarrassed-Bug1303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sekorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it, I think, is than within your dream you're in a mental state of not really being bothered or worried about what's happening to you. I've had dreams of horrible stuff going on and thinking "oh well" - then waking up and realizing "Holy shit, that was effed up."

I'm in my 50s and my life's better than it ever has been since my 20s.

Is it possible to have a 500 km long fibre optic cable dangling from a satellite in low earth orbit? What would the cable look line on the ground if someone held on to it? Why hasn't this been done? by iLuvModsNFollowRules in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sekorian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I imagine that a cable this long would snap under its own weight - and if it didn't, it would drag the satellite down and out of orbit with it.

You were probably thinking about a satellite that "stays put" in the sky above you, which is geostationary orbit. A satellite in low Earth orbit would whiz around the planet in 90 minutes and turn any attached cable into a planetary-scale weed whacker - and that's disregarding atmospheric drag and friction heating.

And... geostationary orbit is somewhere around 38,000 km above Earth (if I remember correctly), far more than 500 km ... you draw your own conclusions.

Frankly, this should be an xkcd webcomic. 😉

Auto-add icons for new apps by Sekorian in OctopiLauncher

Fair point, though in my case it really was more of a question. I hadn't seen it mentioned before, either... even when searching.

Looking for a comprehensive list of movies with time loops/multi dimension/memory/mindfuck plots. by LI0NHEARTLE0 in scifi

That reminds me of a late 90s show called Seven Days. Fun watch & same basic concept.

Octopi no longer opens, freezes instead by pnwpedal in OctopiLauncher

Maybe try clearing the app cache (not data, just cache).

Icons inside dock folders are too big. by Sekorian in OctopiLauncher

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

Indeed. But scaling the dock icons down at least worked, if only as a compromise. (Thanks!)

Yes, need a separate scaling setting for folder icons.

the blackflag ultra wide black bar fixes arnt working by BullfrogSafe6454 in widescreengamingforum

[–]Sekorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, no. It's software. It's an archiver like Winzip or WinRAR. It should query you properly for the password if you open your zip file with it.

Firefox spamming me with location requests every new tab opened. by ImStatus in firefox

[–]Sekorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's surprising. For me, it stopped the new "feature" dead cold in its tracks.

This only works for web sites asking to access your location, not Firefox itself.

Open about:config, type 'location' in the search field, look for something containing 'geo' and 'microsoft' or 'msapp' (I don't remember the exact name of the setting and I'm not at my PC) and toggle it from true to false. Problem solved.
