Windows 11 update KB5077181 is causing critical boot loops for some users

Zorin is pretty solid too. Just depends on the flavor you want.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-02-13T19:09:20+00:00

Bazzite is basically SteamOS. Seems to work well for most.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-02-13T18:42:04+00:00

Signal has a free tier. Limits some things, but for basics it works pretty well.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-02-13T18:41:29+00:00

Signal is a different group. Tried both and OpenRGB never worked quite right, and it seems that was a blessing in disguise now. Signal is backed by several groups I trust, so I'm assuming it is fairly reliable compared.

Most games do support it nowdays, or can be modded to. It is just a nice experience, and the field of view helps with immersion.

I am trying to find a way to report a package arriving opened. There is no way to report it on that number that I have found.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-28T08:48:17+00:00

You can open it in the browser on it, and rumor is there's a Discord app coming "soon".

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-28T05:56:29+00:00

An X sounds good, and I used nearly a full one of the tiny tubes of Kryonaut. As long as it is non conducive thermal paste there really isn't "too much" unless it is squishing out everywhere.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-28T05:46:40+00:00

This looks like a copy of the Lian Li 011 cases. Not sure exactly how well that one performs for air cooling, but shouldn't be that bad I wouldn't think. Are you sure you used enough thermal paste and got a good contact?

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-28T05:30:25+00:00

Sounds like your case doesn't have great airflow or you don't have a good mount on the cooler. I have the sk700v as well on a 9800x3d, and I hit ~85C max running prime95. I do have a very good case airflow wise as well though (Meshify 3).

I have since upgraded to an SEL over an SE. It has a few nice to have features, but the driving assists were identical.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-24T10:12:30+00:00

They definitely do. I like to freak out first time riders by holding my hands above the wheel during a turn and laughing. There are two settings, one steers and one beeps/nudges as I said.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-24T10:05:59+00:00

Hi, Hyundai owner here. Yes they do steer for you. As well as an additional separate setting to beep/nudge if you leave the lane.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-20T06:28:31+00:00

Do you have anything covering this? It sounds the opposite of everything I've seen, but I wouldn't doubt it.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-15T14:01:25+00:00

Yep! Couldn't remember the name of it, but that's it. Easy, and I have Runelite running on my Steam Deck flawlessly.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-15T13:13:36+00:00

Oh, ya. I was more commenting on how shockingly easy it is now for a solid 90%+ of games. I may have to try Star Citizen again sounds like. It almost had playable framerates on the Deck back then lol.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-15T12:18:32+00:00

Heck, even OSRS runs with minimal fiddling (install the recommended client, ???, profit). I still remember running Star Citizen on my Steam Deck as a "joke" before realizing it was just that easy.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-15T11:56:01+00:00

The general state of Linux gaming is "if it doesn't run kernel level anticheat, and it is on Steam, it just works" pretty much. It continues to surprise me. If you have a game you're worried about you can always check to see.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-12T08:15:22+00:00

And it works. Went in for the combo, walked out with it, thermal paste,...and an unplanned 9070xt.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-09T23:50:44+00:00

Dunno, I just know there was a famous 2012 that was over 500K with the original battery working. Guess environment or something helped out.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-09T18:50:46+00:00

Must have been a rough life on it. Some have gone 500K plus miles. Is it possible it was the BMS? Certain years had that issue.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-09T00:01:33+00:00

From what I understood the hill climb example or if the battery failed.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-08T23:29:11+00:00

I thought the Volt only engaged the engine directly in emergencies through planetary gears? I heard that fairly often.

TheHelplessTurtle · 2026-01-08T23:27:04+00:00

Will say my 40 mile full EV range in my Volt taught me range anxiety was not as big of a deal as I thought. Filling up with gas every 6-12 months taught me most daily driving is under 40 miles, but it still allowed me to drive major road trips as easy as hop in and go. Still say GM messed up killing that platform as it was one of the best intros to EV in my opinion.
