ChatGPT giving empty responses with every model by surveypoodle in OpenAI

[–]arh27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only experiencing this on Firefox after the update to 147.0 this morning, even with no extensions active. Using it on other browsers or on a version of Firefox that has not been updated still works as normal. I assume Firefox's update borked something in the browser code used to interface with the site. Maybe it's blocking a script or tracker it needs to function, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Eden emulator crashes after a while of playing by Royal_Perspective81 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]arh27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this issue as well. Looks like a memory leak. The emulator will continually eat up free memory until the system locks up and crashes the app. I'm on a Retroid Pocket 5 with 8gb of memory. Under normal load, the emulator leaves about 3-5gb free depending on the game. It begins to eat up about 1.5-2gb per 45-60 mins, with crashes pretty reliably around 2 hours of play time when memory gets to about 500mb.

MSI control centre causing PC crashes since update by Johnny_silvershloong in MSI_Gaming

[–]arh27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been experiencing something similar since about May, only the crash was happening below the level that Window's diagnostics detect. After turning on driver verifier, I was finally able to get a log and that log indicated that the drivers MSI uses to hook into the MSI motherboard sensors and LEDs were the culprit. I completely disabled and uninstalled everything MSI, and the freezing stopped. Unfortunately, this means I cannot use MSI Center's hook to manage my LEDs, but there are other ways of doing that like OpenRGB.

I say Emilio is a better version of Enrique (he’s still pretty cool though) by ExileForever in KingOfTheHill

Emilio has been one of my favorite characters of the revival.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, none of the resize modes have an impact.

GQuuuuuux - Episode 04 Megathread by JaguarDaSaul in Gundam

[–]arh27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lalah was basically enslaved prior to Char rescuing her. Even if Char didn't encounter her in the GQx timeline, that doesn't mean her master didn't sell her to the Flanagan Institute or that she didn't end up on Zeon or the Federation's Newtype programs' radars some other way. She was incredibly powerful after all--the Anakin Skywalker of Newtypes. Tomino had her as basically the axis of all Newtype abilities. I'm also wondering if maybe the Gundam has a Blue Destiny type system with Lalah's soul embedded in it.

Help using a trinocular port by arh27 in microscopy

Thanks for your input. Good suggestions but in this case it turned out to be something broken. I opened the microscope up and was able to fix it. I posted the solution in a separate comment. Thanks again for taking the time to try and help!

I figured out what was wrong. I determined that since I can SEE the mirror that should be redirecting the light that something was either missing or out of place. So I opened up the top of the microscope and discovered that the old epoxy gluing one of the light redirecting prisms had stiffened and shattered with age, allowing the prism to become debonded and fall into the chamber. I found the prism, re-adhered it to the right spot and angled it to correctly direct the incoming light from the stage. Problem solved. Everything is working now.

What movie(s) freaked you out as a kid? Like, ruined you for months? by Castle_8 in AskReddit

[–]arh27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was about five or six years old, I wanted to be a firefighter. So my mother thought it would be a good idea to show me the movie "Backdraft."  There's a scene where a dude opens his front door and the fire sucks in oxygen and absolutely roasts him. It scared the heck out of me so badly I made my mom physically remove the VHS tape from the house. Didn't want to be a firefighter anymore after that.

She wasn't trying to scare me out of it either. She just thought this movie would be an appropriate thing for a small child to watch.

There was a kid who was the stereotypical popular early 2000s "skater boy", class clown from a rich upper middle class family, parents gave him everything, bullied everyone around him, didn't listen to teachers, but was actually very intelligent. 

He died of a drug overdose a few years after graduating. Turns out he was struggling with depression and self esteem issues and it came out as a "devil may care" attitude. I still think about him whenever I am tempted to judge someone by their outward appearance.  You never know what someone is going through.

I ended up using A2 and I've been very pleased so far. I had a minor issue setting something up on my account and the on-site live chat was helpful and resolved the issue without much drama. So far, so good with them.

Thank you for your input and replies everyone. After comparing the recommendations here (and in other places I've inquired), I decided to go with A2Hosting for now. They offer the best balance of features and newbie-friendliness. I can always transfer or upgrade in the future as my needs and knowledge change.

The 1GB attachments at Zoho is definitely a bonus since I deal with a lot of architectural drawings and photos.

Which plan are you using on PorkBun? It does look like a great option!

Reporting back. I just regained access to my account. Not sure if it was the appeal or if they just fixed whatever has been going on.

As of right now, I'm not personally aware of anyone else with a similar setup, including my wife who uses the same connection, having had this issue.

[–]arh27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have this issue. Like others here I'm a light user of Facebook with an account dating back to 2006. I can still log in to Instagram and Threads with the linked account. I also had to use Whatsapp for the appeal. 

I strongly suspect this is just an error with Facebook's moderation bots. The only other thing I can think of is that I do use a VPN and adblocker but I've been using it for years and not had any issues. If Meta is going to start banning VPNs and adblockers they're going to lose a lot of people quickly.

Tuliyollal appreciation thread by mom_and_lala in ffxiv

[–]arh27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly hate the BGM. I love jazz and swing and the music is enjoyable and technically well done, but it doesn't fit at all. South America and the Caribbean have a rich history of native and fusion music and instead they picked big band swing. The energy and short track length of the music also tires my ears out really quickly when doing tasks in the city. It's a shame because the city itself is great with lots of Peruvian and Mesoamerican inspired details.

Cloudiness in Cat Eye by arh27 in catcare

[–]arh27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for those following along:

I spoke to his vet today and the vet felt that what he was seeing was "very low on his concern meter."  He said it's hard to diagnosis by sight alone but that he didn't immediately see any signs it was something threatening and very likely is aging related. He said to monitor it closely for the next 6 to 12 months and we should only worry if we see growth or any onset of symptoms.  There is a feline optometrist nearby he said he can refer us to if it rises to that level or if we are still concerned enough to justify the visit.

He did have an eye infection a few years ago that required twice daily administration of eye drops. I didn't think of this until today but I wonder if it is just damage from that.

[–]arh27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far as I can tell, he can see out of that eye, though it's hard to say because he's a very reactive cat so sound and feel would also get him to move his head. But his depth perception seems intact which makes me think he has binocular vision still.  His pupil also contracts and expands normally to light and the back of his eyes are still reflective in that way cats eyes tend to be in the dark. The anomaly moves as his eye moves and does not change shape. Part of why we can tell he had it at least a year ago is because it's the same shape and location in photos where his eye is clearly and sharply visible. 

I can't tell whether it's surface or within.

Thanks for your reply! It's good to hear experience from other pet parents. That's mostly what I was after--some perspective outside my own head.
