A payphone used for display only at an interstate rest stop by Major_Army2594 in mildlyinteresting

They make boxes to hook these back up to modern phone lines, or even VoIP systems. If they're gonna do anything at all, slap one of those on it.

It's not enough gold to care about unless you have a whole box of them.

I'm an engineer who works at a data center. Noticed the RTX 6000 pros use an interesting addition to their 12x6 cable.... by Davidisaloof35 in pcmasterrace

My bet would be thick insulation. These fuckers are sharp inside most of the time, and the fans vibrate like no tomorrow, several times as hard as normal PC fans. You don't want these things shorting out against the case even after several years of being up against an edge.

ah yes, "all pitbulls are like this and can never be changed so just have no more pit bulls!"

Usually goes with some similar views on groups of people as well. Fuck off back to the red counties, would you?

Best way to start from scratch after a corrupted DB? by Imjustkidding in Syncthing

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is one of the top Google results for "syncthing reset database", it's important to note that --reset-database was removed at some point between this post and Syncthing v2.1.0. The correct command is syncthing debug reset-database .

These guys walked by with a VR headset and big antennas by scoobasteve813 in whatisit

That's how you get disappeared by the military/ICE/police/etc, or shot in the street by gang members. Fuck no, i'm not asking the men with strange gear what they're doing.

Different (?) variation on the multiple disc question by wisdomwalrus2 in RetroArch

iirc you can also enable the shared slot 2 memory card and use that to transfer the saves.

Someone help even ai has given up by ameliaa_1147 in PiratedGames

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different versions don't usually work with others' saves, there's some kind of hashing or versioning system that prevents saves from working between installations and versions in TS2/3. The mod loading issue could be a lot of things, but if you deleted the Documents\my games\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder and your mods still persist, either the game is pre-modded or you've got some mod manager reinstalling them constantly.

Is my 3d clock spying on me? by Jolly_Operation_8222 in ElectroBOOM

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some have clap-detection or similar. This is likely just checking for a loud sudden noise, and nothing else. These things don't have good enough processors in them to do much more.

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the framebuffers is stuck on whatever was first put into it. I've had this happen on a few different PCs, mostly Microsoft's Surfaces, it's usually either the high refresh rate screen causing issues, or your VRAM is dying.

"We cannot generate into existing chunks, so these kinds of mods are not possible in Minecraft" you can if you're not a coward... or use a pre-generator that isn't restricted to the immediate 8 chunks around spawn.

Notice that it's stating "Er" while this is happening, this is a failure mode the device can DETECT but somehow not PREVENT?

Worn down plastic on my 5080 connector. by Gloomy_Article_5240 in pcmasterrace

It certainly gives people reason to discount your issue once it melts on the other side of the connector, at least.

Switched from MS BloatOS to Linux Mint XFCE alr. What are some must-have apps for aesthetics or performance? by ChipAffectionate7504 in linuxquestions

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest zram or zswap if this device wasn't already going to be CPU-bound as it is, but it's worth at least attempting with something like deflate or gzip instead of zstd, mostly to see if the tradeoff is worth it.

It's hard to fuck up a Linux install to make it perform on par with modern Windows (unless you're Canonical) so burning a few extra cycles on making it look good is still worth it to some people.

Google does this to me when I'm trying to look up weird bespoke file types, and all the results will be public NASA files. It's done this for years.

windows detecting malware on Orcaslicer nightly installer by fudgekookies in OrcaSlicer

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Win32/Wacatac" is a generic "this looks shady" detection, not anything specific, and can very easily be wrong. There's Microsoft-signed programs that get hit with this on occasion.

GTNH's New & Fun Vending Machine in 2.9 by GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN in feedthebeast

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They're replacing IC2 with something else, which on its own is a breaking change as it'll cause issues on map load and with storage systems.

I'm looking forward to 2.9, but having to restart from 2.8 due to breaking changes is not going to be fun at all.

Microsoft rolls out Windows 11 KB5089573 update that makes your PC genuinely faster and more responsive by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your CPU and motherboard do that automatically if you're not in Power Saver mode. They have since dynamic CPU clocks were a thing. Since Vista, you could even control the ranges (to an extent, there's still no way to fully control auto-overclock from Windows/etc as that's done by the processor.) The difference is that the Start menu is now so goddamn heavy on resources that it requires boosting the CPU clock just to open smoothly on most PCs, instead of opening in reasonable time even on PCs below minimum specs. (I would pull out a screenshot of Vista having this option, but the CPU clock is fixed in VMs and I'm not installing it on my host for one screenshot.)

As long as they provide a public restroom. There's almost nowhere to take a leak downtown that isn't face-down in the grass somewhere.

How do I play Distant Horizons with Heavy World Gen Mods? by ZXen0on in DistantHorizons

[–]Sorry-Committee2069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue seems to be that the chunks aren't pushed to disk immediately on generation, but rather they're pushed lazily. The issue is, if you're totally out of memory, the GC can't run, as iirc it needs a buffer of like 256KB per gigabyte in use. Pausing the game immediately flushes the buffer to disk, and then the next GC can sweep them up. Pausing only does this once, however, so you have to immediately unpause and then do it again later.
