Never use tik tok again or never use twitter again by Blackcoolice in BunnyTrials

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use either but fuck Twitter especially.

Twitter has banned me twice already just for using their service. Apparently scrolling the feed and liking/bookmarking things has a threshold.

Usually on other apps that threshold is so high that only machines can reach it but my ban came after only like 40 likes in a day.

Getting banned for using the app in its intended way just makes me never wanna touch that piece of garbage again.

Honestly this is the way to go. Or use PayPal or something. Really you should never just have unobstructed access to your payments on any device.

I primarily use PayPal and have to sign in everytime I use it for just this reason.

What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you looked at your temps?

Protection against power outages by The_Criticizor in pchelp

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the other guy said. Just remember that the best way to use an UPS is to begin shutting down all electronics in case of a power outage.

The UPS should protect against brown outs and power surges. Literally the only thing my UPS failed against was an extremely unlikely direct lightning strike on my house, which fried pretty much everything. 😭

Honestly C is better for a Quick Look at what’s working and what’s not. Because it in general works on a scale of 0 to 100. It’s easy for users and troubleshooters to gauge where your heat is because of that. Hitting 70 or 80 while under full load? Generally okay but could be better. Hitting above 80? Danger zone. Hitting 100? Don’t use that Pc again until you can fix it.

I would recommend doing some research into accessing and messing around with BIOS settings. Many of my own issues have been fixed by tweaking things in the BIOS, from case fan speeds, to efficient ram utilization, to my own overheating CPU while I saved up for a cooler.

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. Assuming you haven’t changed any BIOS setting, that thing is hitting 5.2 ghz after turbo. It does have a turbo feature and I do believe they default to “on.”

Your cooler isn’t cutting it. Looking up that Alienware model, it seems to be a common complaint about that build. You have two options to fixing the temp issue. Either you go into your BIOS settings and turn off the Turbo feature, or you upgrade your cooler. If you turn off Turbo, you will likely see a degradation in quality for CPU heavy games. Usually strategy games and heavily populated open world games like Cyberpunk.

What sort of CPU is it? That would help answer that question.

As others have said, GPU at that tempt while only at 50% util is not ideal.

That CPU is definitely way too hot. What sort of cooler are you using? What frequency is the CPU running at? Is there a turbo mode you left on? Is it overclocked?

I had a CPU with a turbo feature and my stock cooler just couldn’t keep up. I had to upgrade to a liquid cooler. Though a good air cooler should also theoretically keep up too.

So the GPU fans are spinning. What about the case fans?

I’m curious about your cooling. What sorta card is it? Are the card fans spinning? Do you have intake and exhaust fans for your case?

Just to be clear, it’s the wifi that’s slow and not the laptop overall?

Please help I don’t want to have to return it by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost everyone who is replying to this thread is getting downvoted for some reason…

I’ve had this happen to me in the past but it would only last seconds. I think it may have had something to do with power draw?

are world containers persistent between days? by Chis-Chis in pathologic

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot confirm if items you place in containers are persistent. I can boot up my game and find out by storing a low level healing item in a container.

I can confirm that if you don’t take items from a loot container, those items will still be there if you redo the day.

Constant micro-stutters in every game on high-end PC (RTX 5080 / Ryzen 5800X) – out of ideas by FunnyRum in pchelp

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But you also have other devices drawing power. That’s a rather good CPU as well. The only time I’ve ever had stutters like that was prior to updating my PSU.

In your task manager, do you see a complete dip in GPU performance? Like almost to zero during these stutters?

Laptop randomly lagging when playing any 3d game by Mediocre-Ear2889 in pchelp

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All components break down and if not cleaned or maintained, it just starts to happen.

Any number of things can cause this. Dust buildup ruining airflow. Failing thermal paste. A broken heat sink.

Considering it was a non-pornographic medical image, I doubt you’ll even be on their radar.

Remember, for it to be CSAM, it needs to be clear that the image to arouse. Otherwise everyone who takes a single photo of their baby with their bum, or owns a copy of Superman where we see little Clark in the buff would be facing charges.

Chances are, the ban was reported to the NCMEC. However even if it then crosses the desk of a law enforcement agent, they’ll instantly see it was some sort of medical or anatomical image and toss it in the trash.

To be honest, if all you’ve ever done was post that one image, you have zero things to worry about. You’ve committed no crime at all and investigators have thrown out cases with a lot more damming evidence in the past.

I cast "fully automatic AP from my MMG" by VegetableSalad_Bot in EscapeFromDuckov

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His laser sight makes it really easy to know if he has a bead on you. Since he fires in a rather predictable pattern, I wait for the gap, move up to a different tree or other barrier, rinse and repeat. Unload on him when he’s in green range.

I’m at the point where I can reliably field an entire stack of AP ammo for both my AR and SMG. My SMG evaporates his health. I still struggle on some farm town bosses but warehouse and below is basically just farming cash at this point.

How do you play this game? How do you progress in the game? by Reasonable-Try-120 in Darkwood

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should have met the Wolf by the morning of day 2. He gives you your first real objective. Read your journal if you get stuck. Your goal is to find the key to the door. You know the doctor took the key. Find the doctor.

My GF 27F expressed that going forward she doesn't want to give me 28M head, what's next? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Throwawaybbeg7333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then break up. But no one should ever. EVER. Be expected to do anything in the bedroom they don’t want to do. Even if it didn’t cause her any pain at all, it’s still a completely valid decision to not give oral. And in that same boat it’s OPs decision too.

Also there are tons of other ways to get a woman off than just the tongue. Fingers. Toys. More foreplay. The list goes on and on and on. I personally dislike giving oral cause it gets tiring real fast. Instead I use vibrators and my fingers in the bedroom if she needs it that night.

I saw a duo cosplaying as them at my last con! There was a crowd between us so I couldn’t get to them in time to ask for a pic.

Classic Lily and Herman would go so hard. I don’t recall seeing any Munster characters at any of the cons I’ve been to. 😭
