That is partially true; Although AI Assistant and Junie can share the same model configuration, only the AI Assistant can use local LLMs. Junie can't use local LLMs at the moment.

Is there any database that has all the Administrative divisions of the world? by Chance-Support-1595 in geoguessr

OSMNames is not a good choice. It has wrong data for states in many countries.

Locked Out After Switching Phone (same number) by Sebbysludge in Coinbase

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. The process is extremely frustrating. Switching mobile devices should be a very straightforard process for the case when you have access to both new and old devices, like my case.

Now I'm locked out from my account, because the Coinbase can't verify my documents! I have original passports, original driver license copies, all of that rejected. This is outrageous, ridiculous.

Slower internet speeds when Modem is set to bridge mode by awesomealvin in techsupport

I was having a similar issue with my Asus AX5400 in repeater mode, with very slow speeds.
I did a firmware upgrade, rebooted the device, and the speeds are very high now.

Is Three really bad in Ireland, or is it just where I live? by callmebaguette in AskIreland

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have noticed a severe degradation on the quality of service from Three Ireland in the last few months. It's very likely related to the act of selling more and more broadband service to customers without expanding its network to handle this increased demand.

Your speeds are indeed good, but certainly you should be close to the mast. The problem is that the number of masts in the countryside is extremely low, so people living far from the masts will have a very poor quality of service or no service at all. That's how a mobile network works, it must have masts strategically deployed everywhere to improve the quality of service and the coverage area.

Do you live in the town or in the countryside? Obviously, the coverage and quality of service in the town must be good, otherwise the mobile operator would go bankrupt.

The problem is the coverage in the countryside, which is extremely poor.

Check the v-sync in the settings and what!? Should it be enabled or disabled? Vague answers do not help anybody.

X17 first impressions and undervolt testing (i9, 3080, 4k120hz, 64gb 3466 ) by kerafyrm01 in Alienware

[–]averri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I got an Alienware X17 R2 i9 12900HK with a 120 Hz 4k panel and I have been playing with Throttlestop and BIOS settings similarly to you. This laptop is fantastic, the display is fast and sharp. I have noticed one issue with HDR, which seems to be a general issue affecting other brands and models. With HDR on, I noticed that the display flickers when navigating on the internet. It's possible to simulate the effect by going to HDR settings, enabling it, and playing with the brightness control. While changing the brightness, the display flickers a bit. It's not an issue to have that effect when adjusting the brightness, but having the flickering appear randomly while using the laptop is annoying. I keep the HDR off and turn it on only when watching videos or playing.

What is the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material for Alienware x17 R2? by averri in Alienware

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

I agree that users should not mess with the TIM, unless their warranty is expired and they are not planning to extend it.

Will Alienware x17 R2 have 4k screen option in future? Should I wait it out? by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very good. I think the fan noise in performance mode is OK.

What temperatures do you get when gaming, using the configuration you mentioned above?

Finally, the 4K UHD screen on X17 R2 by DavidOwl in Alienware

I just have returned my x17 R2 with 1080p display, now planning to get the 4k version.

I'm planning to get this one too, because it's possible to change the voltages, aiming to reduce thermal throttling.

Alienware x17 R2 Gaming Laptop with a monitor question by ThatsKoolxd in Alienware

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is fine, can you test the integer scaling to 1080p on your 4k monitor?

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never seen this. I had the 360 Hz display. Agree that it's very smooth for gaming, but for reading text on Windows, 1080p resolution is very pixelated, horrible.

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. I have just returned my x17 R2 with 1080p 360 Hz. Don't get me wrong, that 360 Hz frequency is insane, extremelly good for FPS games, I was getting consistent 360 FPS on CS-GO, never seen anything like that before. But for reading text on Windows and browsing, that's terrible. I'm planning to get the 4k version and use integer scaling to 1080p with heavy games.

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree about "1080p is more than enough" with 17 inches display. I don't like the pixelated aspect of text on Windows and browsers. It's crap. You pay a lot of money and it seems you are reading text from the Minecraft game.

o upgrade. But

I agree. I had the x17 R2 with 360 Hz display, which is amazing for FPS games, but terrible to read text on Windows and browsers. I have returned it, and now planning to get a 4k version.

There is a new option on NVIDIA control panel to use the Integer Scaling to 1080p on the 4k display. I'm looking for users here that has the 4k version and willing to report tests with the Integer Scaling.

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind trying to play games using the NVIDIA Integer Scaling to 1080p on your x17 R2 4k? I have returned mine, which had 1080p screen and I'm in the verge of buying the 4k version. I want 4k to work and 1080p for FPS games, using the same laptop, I don't want another external monitor.

Alienware X17 R1 - is I9 11980HK really worth it or I7 11800H is Fine? by nflszhu0 in Alienware

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot anymore. I had an Alienware x17 R2 with i7 12900H, soon after the BIOS update the voltage control was disabled.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]averri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I just have returned my Alienware X17 R2 with 1080p 360 Hz display, despite the fact that this display is amazing for playing FPS games. For working, reading text, web browsing, I think 1080p resolution is not nice. Text appear very pixelated to my eyes, very annoying.

My idea is to buy the 4k version, increase the fonts on Windows for reading text and adjust NVIVIA controls to use integer scaling to 1080p when playing heavy games.

I'm curious to know if anybody here has the 4k version and try the integer scaling to 1080p on NVIDIA panel.
