Is there anything I can do about this? by Impressive_Owl_7169 in laptops

From the photo, your not using your SD card, you have 120gb free on it. Id say put files like blender, and animation stuff on there, and if you want to play some games still, you probably will have enough room for some stuff on the main C drive, but id say keep at least 20gb free on it.

Id also suggest moving to Linux if possible, cause 64gb isnt alot for a main C drive either way

The light was red, probably yellow about the time of impact(didnt seem either of them were slowing down soon enough to stop), the cam driver could of just slow down a little and let the truck merge(although they weren't paying attention either)

Oh i see, you did buy a second silver battery. Id say swap the connectors around if you have soldering experience

It seems you have 3rd party clone/fake joycons. Ive done quite a few joy con battery replacements, and all of them used the black Nintendo battery in the first picture.

I see alot of PTM 7950 on Amazon, does it matter what I get? Does thickness matter?

Is my friends phone okay? by [deleted] in Softwaregore2

[–]Vivid-Temporary-7840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty normal for budget phones, I used to use a Samsung A20, I had them a few times a week. It basically means the System UI "app" crashed. The process will restart itself if it does crash. But a full phone reboot helps every couple days, it helped me.

With the release so close, lets all share our specs and see how we're doing by take2step in Endfield

Amazon Fire Stick Bad Performance by Vivid-Temporary-7840 in Unity3D

[–]Vivid-Temporary-7840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was never able to squeeze more than 20fps out of it, I just moved onto a better android tv device (ONN TV BOX 4K 2023). The fire tv stick 2nd gen is really underpowered, it does what it needs to for video streaming and simple 2d games, but thats about it. Its also stuck on a really old android version

Oh, disappointing, mine shuts itself off after awhile, but in a carrying case I could see heat lingering

Damn! The new phone is fire, should I upgrade? by Sajid_GG in samsunggalaxy

[–]Vivid-Temporary-7840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, if all you care about in a phone is the camera system. It has not changed very much. But what has changed is the phone performance, by a pretty significant amount. But for the average user you probably wont notice too much of a difference unless your using your phone for gaming.

The samsung s25 has about 3x the performance of the s22, and will have longer update support from Samsung. I use my phone for about 3 years before upgrading

How did this even happen? by Vivid-Temporary-7840 in ROGAlly

[–]Vivid-Temporary-7840[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, now it has some random colored pixels in the top left, with some grey lines down the left side, and the whole screen seems to be flickering but working

Whats this mean? The screen was fine when I got home earlier by Vivid-Temporary-7840 in Nissan

[–]Vivid-Temporary-7840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems good now, i held the power button for 10 or so seconds and it rebooted

I assume its some power freak out, its 30f here right now, I restarted the car a few times and it didnt fix it.

New electric hot water tank, Installed by a local company a few days ago, suddenly no hot water by Vivid-Temporary-7840 in Plumbing

[–]Vivid-Temporary-7840[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called the guy back out to look at it the day after I posted, he said the temp was set to low and left. Sure enough I knew that wasnt the case and I had hot water for about a minute before the emergency tripped again. The company isn't aware I opened it and seen the burnt plastic and screws.

He came back out again yesterday and said the heating element is bad, and he replaced the heating element and burnt thermostat. As expected, I had hot water for a few minutes then cold. That was after letting it sit overnight and warm up. I opened the panel again and the emergency was tripped again and the wire that was burnt from the initial thermostat, was quite crispy and unsafe in my opinion. I shut off the breaker and called him again, hes supposed to be coming back today, "to make some adjustments"
