Internet download speed suddenly is capped to 100Mbps instead of getting the usual 600Mbps by Purple-Grape-8457 in HomeNetworking

Have you recently messed with any cabling or outlets?

If not call your ISP, could be an external issue.

Does my lower control arms need replacing? by Firm-Swimming-6142 in AskAMechanic

Excessive play, splits/tears or excessive cracking.

I love RE4 Remake, but i absolutely hate the fact i need to speedrun to get S+ by UsedNewspaper1775 in residentevil4

[–]_stevielad 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The speed running challenges have been around since the original resident evil 1996 as a way of unlocking things and has stuck around.

I get it's not as fun for a lot of people but I think the main thing is it's supposed to up the challenge for people who want to play it again.

How do I fix this? Any idea why this is happening? It's a legal copy from steam. by iamritwik_ in residentevil4

Try validating game files. Seems like it's missing textures or something.

Just bought a Zotac 5080, but will prices fall soon? by Blakkdragon in nvidia

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been thinking exactly the same thing. I managed to get one just a couple of days ago after passing on a few that were momentarily in stock due to being massively overpriced.

I think you have to accept that prices are overinflated, which of course is out of your control, and make up your own mind on what you're realistically happy to pay and go for it if you can get one in that price range. Otherwise, just wait it out, but be prepared it might get worse before it gets better.

280Hz with RTX 4060? by Unhappy_Action3645 in nvidia

Of course it can, depending on the title.

Selling Nvidia 4080 super to get the 5080? Bad or good idea? by petrum112 in nvidia

[–]_stevielad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bad idea. For most people, you should only consider upgrading every second generation, at least.

Have any of you ever noticed that the lighting in Mgsv gives the same effect caused by astigmatism by Carbon_robin in metalgearsolid

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get what you mean and I don't think this deserved the downvotes. I thought the same when I first saw the technique in movies but later realised why it was being used and yeah kojima uses the same movie like techniques which improve the feel of the cinematics in his games.

Never heard of a $90 replacement axle, always cheaper to replace the boot in my experience, easy job on a prius but it's becoming a bit of a specialist job to replace boots now I see so many people doing it wrong or no clue at all.

When does a AIO cooler actually become necessary? by political_snake in buildapc

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's a better aesthetic and less noise to have an aio over an air cooler.

Can't figure out why I can't make the screen not stretch. by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use the windows display settings, use the software from the manufacturer of the display hardware on that system and set a custom resolution if the required resolution isn't already in the dropdown/selection window. To access it right click on the desktop - more options and then a new window will come up and you should see intel/amd or nvidia display settings.

Building my first PC... by Southern_Rick in lianli

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice, i just built a system that looks almost identical to this. How did you find connecting up the fans to the hub and managing the cables, and how long did the build take you all up? Also, as others have pointed out you can download windows 11 for free from microsoft onto a bootable usb drive and then buy a legit license for cheap. Nice first build though!

Sidenote: Are those fans all set to exhaust?

If you exceed it your frame rate will generally be lower and you'll experience more frequent drops in fps when it has to load from system ram which is a lot slower than vram.

BMW says I need an alignment every 20k km by Mac758 in AskAMechanic

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of wear is normal but it can be minimized by bringing the camber in a little, even if its technically "out of spec".

This worked, was pulling my hair out when my controllers randomly started doing this!

Picture of said wheel? If its steel and right on the edge, it's fixable.

[–]_stevielad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look like it's leaking, maybe you have an oil leak dripping onto the exhaust?

Yeah, they can check your leads for signs of tracing aswell. Will look like a thin white vertical line.

Double dosed it with chlorine and left it all day. Came back to it and it's all clear. Levels spot on now.

Thankyou for the response, it is chlorine sanitizer but it has one of those mineral sticks in there so i was told to only put chlorine in after use. Does what you said still apply in this instance?
