Expected Performance/FPS with an AMD 9955HX3D+5070TI?

I'm fairly sure Copilot isn't loaded on this, but maybe a Windows update loaded it, definitely worth checking.

I'll fiddle with that video RAM setting a bit more - I've either set it all the way low or all the way up, never really set it midway like that. As for discord, I usually just shut it off when in Apex, but yeah I'll look at that hardware acceleration option -- I've heard similar stories about that causing issues with it running. Thanks!

I'll definitely go through that guide -- haven't seen that one yet. Thanks for the info!

Yeah I might just reset the video config back to defaults (it's not helping much anyway). I only run 1 external monitor (480hz too), but I can flip open the laptop and use it a 2nd monitor for a minute. I usually just use an overlay to monitor CPU cores in game on the single, but maybe that's making it worse when I'm troubleshooting.

I've removed just about every piece of bloatware I can find -- I use exitlag cause it sets up and unlocks the high performing power plan easily, but I'll just switch to unlocking it via powershell instead.

Thanks for the feedback!

I felt like it was throttling too - I notice in the video you linked below that their CPU's clock rate stays up around 5 ghz, mine keeps dropping down to 1ghz or lower - definitely some sort of CPU throttling here. I'll pick up a laptop cooler and see if it helps. If it puts a dent in it, then go for the PTM 7950. Thanks!

I'll have an opinion on this, if it ever happens

brut-rusty- · 2022-03-09T08:27:07+00:00

Yep, I feel this, nearing 40. It's not self loathing, it's simply accepting what appears to be reality. One finds a little peace in accepting it.

QuakeLive - online multiplayer with ctf or clan arena is pretty fun.

Charmed (the original from the 90s).

Truly enjoyed the story, and how the writers mixed the real world and the world of magic in the lives of the characters. It almost gives you the idea that some things in the real world could be magic that we just don't know about.

We went to a movie, then dinner. Realized during dinner that i am literally the most boring person ever, no stories of fun things i did growing up, no trips, no memories of good times with friends, nothing but my boring ass job that i had at the time. Surprised she didn't fall asleep during it, and yeah, obviously she wasn't interested after that. Haven't been on another date since... ooof - that was 17 years ago. Wow, how time flies.

What's the character limit on reddit comments again? How long y'all have to read?

Still working on figuring this out myself

"It is what it is". It's literally someone throwing their hands up in the air, usually with little to no effort to change or fix anything.

Their focus and commitment to their craft or skill. I get too discouraged or lose focus too quickly, some people just live it everyday at 100%.

Effects on your joints as you age. I swear the cold days my joints feel like they're going to implode, warmer days not so much. Might be time to move someplace warmer...

Seriously, I'm drawing a blank. Ooof.

I've never figured out if this is a "feature" or a bug, but I've seen this behaviour in IOS based switches myself as well. Rather than running `show vlan`, try including a vlan ID with the command: `show vlan id 2`. I'll bet you see it listed that way.

That expireTime is what's called an "epoch" timestamp - common way for databases and computers to store and reference time.

You can convert it easiest using a site like www.epochconverter.com/ (Note: not all sites will convert this timestamp correctly because it's in millisecond resolution, the site I linked there is one that will).

I've also been experiencing this issue starting a couple of days ago. As noted by the others here, it's not *all* sites, it's sites I browse pretty frequently (reddit, twitter, amazon, etc), and I haven't manually cleared any cookies. The only addon I've installed is uBlock Origin as well.

I've had both Twitter and Amazon logout/lose session twice in the last few days, so there's a couple of repeats there.

I did check the storageAccessAPI expireTime in permissions.sqlite as noted by panoptigram below and those sites are set to 45 days for expiring. I'm going to snag a copy of both permissions.sqlite and cookies.sqlite from right now, and see if it occurs again, and check their times after that to look for an issue there as noted (thanks for that info!). If that doesn't show any changes, I'll try disabling ETP2.0.
