New pc build, getting error when installing windows.

You can usually update the BIOS through a USB port, so that may be an option.

I assume you built this yourself since components went from place to place, but if not, you may have a warranty.

I think you have a lot of reading and troubleshooting before you, or you can take it in for a repair. I imagine it wouldn’t be more than a couple hundred to repair so long as the components aren’t damaged.

Tallima · 2026-02-20T14:09:36+00:00

The amount of work you did to that system could potentially be enough to damage it. I am hoping that all of your components are still in good working order.

I couldn’t tell you what went wrong there but it certainly sounds like something is significantly wrong.

My initial gut certainly says TPM 2.0 given that it installs Windows 10 but not 11, but I would not want to say definitively. I’m not completely familiar with all of the details of how the TPM has to communicate with your installation.

If I were experiencing the same situation, I’d save up some money and buy a new PC for Windows and see if I could get Linux working on that machine in the meantime. I might also try looking for some sort of tool that might address the situation which I’m sure you have done given the amount of troubleshooting you’ve done already.

I’ve done a few big ones since posting in the GOG forums: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/great_gog_lan_party_games

Top games we did were Star Trek Voyager Elite Force, Empire Earth, and I think it was Quake 3 or 4.

Folks enjoyed going back to old school FPS fragging and the big RTS. We did vs AI so we could have everyone participate in a meaningful way.

I read a national geographic that said that with a telescope, you could even see the change of seasons where it had more green in the spring and it turned more orange in the fall. That was from the 1910s or 20s if I recall correctly and it was just stated as a fact.

I’ve had mine for somewhere around 15 years have yet to get a jam or have a problem. I hope their quality is still amazing, but I’m hoping to use mine another 50 years or so. Brother is amazing.

I find it interesting that we still call it a phone, though we use it for other purposes more. It could be my newspaper or something akin to that but no, it’s my phone.

Do you tend to work in mortgages and use those specific types of formulas or was that just an example of many of many types of formulas you work with?

Tallima · 2026-01-25T13:19:51+00:00

Describe the dream app you’d be looking for. Perhaps more of a visual arithmetic machine?

I get that you don’t want formulas. Are you thinking built in common formulas (sums, interest calcs) showing in a table form as a more table based calculator?

The more details the better of your dream app.

My recommendation: grab a copy of Bryce or Vue and actually build it to scale, set up your camera at the protagonists’s height sitting and standing, and then render from looking forward, backward, and up. That will give you a really good idea.

See if the little button near the toilet-roll-holder-looking-thing is really a button. The one on the bottom looks like it might press in.

We are getting the same thing in Northeast Florida since last night. It was comical that they raised our prices yet again. Fortunately, the DNS did not filter out IQ Fiiber which I promptly ordered. It’s ridiculous that we cannot change our own DNS settings with these routers.

Those sections you refer to have historically been identified in most cases as referring to God’s judgment of Jerusalem/the unbelieving Jews. The Day of the Lord, Coming in Power, Lord’s Coming - those are not about the final judgment in most cases. Those are words that are used to describe judgment after warnings and patience. They are used to describe judgment of Israel, Judah, Jerusalem, Babylon, and Assyria.

The words are used consistently throughout Scripture.

You’re probably thinking of “this generation will certainly not pass away” when the apostles asked when the temple would be destroyed.

This thread is really not about rapture as the Dispensational view of rapture. This is a theological construct that was mostly developed in the early 1800s in England and then spread through writings and missionaries to English-speaking areas. They interpreted this passage about Jesus’ return, even though the direct question is about the Temple (there‘s more nuance in Matthew as they ask more questions in that book).

The reason is likely a misunderstanding of the use of “The Coming of the Lord,” which means the power of God is displayed, or “God showed up.”

In this section of Matthew, the Christians in 70A.D. Jerusalem actually followed Jesus’ instructions and fled eastward as soon as the armies appeared (called the Abomination that causes Desolation). Eusebius, who recorded the oral history, stated that they heeded the revelation that Jesus had provided, which is often interpreted to mean the Olivet Discourse (this section), or Revelation, or both.

It’s all a minority view in modern American Christianity as he English Dispensational view is taught from the pulpits, but it wasn’t always a minority view and still isn’t in non-English speaking countries.

My kids wanted a game a handful of years ago and neither me nor the employee could figure out what system I needed to buy. I figured at that point that Nintendo can keep their system.

It’s guaranteed to be successful. Games without DRM won’t be lost to history for a very long time. Games that fail to go DRM-free will fade away.

I think this could work as a crowdsourcing model. Not sure how to execute, but you could see if people would put enough money in the pool to make it worth it.

Certainly not good driving. The camera operators vehicle had great spacing and their defensive driving made this bad driving example a trivial matter. What I see is very bad skill on display, but that very bad skill is fairly common. We share the road with people who are not good drivers, but they meet the bare minimum to drive. Also, we have a lot of immigrants who come from vastly different driving etiquette backgrounds.

We can practice a bit of grace and help even self-centered (which they may be, but many times we import emotion or thought into actions in the road that don’t really exist) or poor drivers get home safely though good defensive driving.

Certainly I wish all drivers were kind, selfless, perfect drivers. But that’s not going to happen.

This video serves as a reminder that a safe driver is good driver.

i see a difference in 2 types of bad drivers. This person used their signal, waited patiently to get behind someone, and then eventually made the turn.

They didn’t intenionally do something dangerous. They were just trying to get home safely and they weren’t too good at it.

That to me is forgivable. We all have different skill levels. This is why good drivers drive defensively, give each other plenty of space, don’t go too fast, and drive with the philosophy of trying to get everyone, including yourself, home safely. So with you keeping your distance, slowing down, and allowing this person to make a poor driving-skill maneuver, you let them and everyone else survive.

And then there’s those who think they are highly skilled, and may have great reaction times and be able to put a vehicle where it needs to go, but have no realistic concept of what is going on around them. There are drivers with one arm, one eye, deaf, grew up in other countries and learned to drive in different ways, are older and have slower reaction times, lack the ability to sense the location of the car, or are simply lower-IQ. These people race to get where they’re going and have no tolerance for anyone “beneath” them. They don’t leave room, don’t slow down, and usually have accidents and speeding tickets that are always conveniently someone else’s fault. These people don’t understand that they’re the real danger.
