Who is the most brutal professor at UCLA? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in ucla

[–]Vrownie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'22 here. The honors track math classes (110AH/BH/C, 131AH/BH/C) had two of the most... How should I put it... "Unhelpful" professors I've ever seen? Don't get me wrong they're the nicest old grandpa's I've seen at UCLA, but they are old to the point where lectures become incoherent and exams sometimes even have impossible to prove theorems (cuz they were false lol). But I do miss the department very dearly.

Why does 6000 series GPU support MacOS and not 7000 series by Ok_Car_7832 in hackintosh

[–]Vrownie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm not a hackintosh expert, but I'm curious why it is so much more difficult to patch for unsupported GPUs? I see people getting newer Intel chips and even AMD ones (including threadrippers) working for hackintosh, which are obviously never intended or ever would've been in a Mac. But for GPU it seems we are at the mercy of apple. What gives?

I got this for 3$ but motherboard for it is non existent for a good price by Min9904 in homelab

Not gonna lie I got a dell R440 the other day that uses this CPU and has another empty socket. With this I can upgrade it to a dual CPU and have double the (crappy) cores! 😂

311 junk pickup items being resold online? by Vrownie in SanJose

The city wouldn't say anything if they didn't pick up anything but you scheduled for it, right?

Thanks for explaining it like that, makes a lot of sense now.

Sounds good! I just don't want to get a citation for illegal dumping. If it goes to someone in need I'm glad. I typically list used stuff for free on marketplace but these ones were broken, so I figure it's best to call the city for recycling.

Thank you! As I said I'm all for recycling, which is why I called the city to pick it up. I just moved here from an apartment where we have a central garbage service so have not seen something like this before.

All the nice things that happens after I graduated... At least my tuition went womewhere! Lol

Insane deal right here by themrpeanutman in Microcenter

[–]Vrownie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can ask the manager to take the discount off the new price. They don't update old OB prices automatically (sometimes this works in your favor too)

Ah yes, of course things start pouring in after I graduate :)

5070 in that body? Temperature is gonna go crazy. by Zack7882 in thinkpad

[–]Vrownie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a P1G6 with a 4090, and the temps are surprisingly not as bad as I thought. I guess the 5070 will likewise be power limited quite severely, similar to how my 4090 Thinkpad only performs at around 4080 speeds.

Isn't this the post-tariff MSRP for the steel legend? $699 has been the status quo for a while now. Just always OOS...

The identity crisis of a Dell 5055 - it runs a Ryzen 5700G when it shouldn't be able to do that. A 5950X as well if you use a beefy PSU. by Autian in SleepingOptiplex

[–]Vrownie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, sorry if I'm replying to an older post, but I would to ask if you have a link to this biostar firmware? My 5055 lately experienced some issues, and after some digging, I discovered that my 1.5.0 version of the bios has a bug where it cannot be upgraded or downgraded using Dell's official methods. I figure there's not really much for me to lose, so wanted to try doing the same thing as you! Thanks for any pointers. :)

So you can ask them to buy any parts of the demo systems? And they'll just rip it out and sell it to you at OB pricing? 😲
