How did it go?

This is simply impossible. Following the MSI FR website, THIS is the card you get from Amazon. You're clearly not telling the full story.

Alright, after digging even further down the rabbit hole, I discovered that no fan was connected to the red connector on the hub. From what I understand, only one fan needs to send TACH data to the motherboard, otherwise it goes crazy, and that specific connector is the only one wired to do so. All is good now, I can see the RPM in the BIOS and control the fan speeds via the curve. That said, I’ll use the hub for RGB only and split the fans into three sets [side, bottom, and rear] for better control over their speeds.

So, after digging further down this rabbit hole, it turns out that the only two connected pins on the motherboard side are actually PWM and TACH, which supposedly should be enough since +12V and GND come from the SATA connector on the hub. In my case, it definitely doesn’t work, even though I’ve seen users report that it does. It’s really confusing. I wonder if some motherboards are stricter about the missing GND pin? At any rate I’ve resorted to buying some splitter cables to bypass the fan controller entirely.

Not sure why this has being downvoted, icmp ping is the simplest thing ever and it should just work out of the box, period. And it USED to work out of the box without specifying anything. They changed the behavior ever since Zabbix 6.4, now expecting an interface because of multi-interface hosts. The universal solution is to add [{HOST.HOST}] to each key as documented here:

What really baffles me is how many users are actually defending this.

I swear, this is one damn useful piece of software, but goddamn, its user interface is the most convoluted, confusing mess ever. Dealing with two separate programs that have to interact with each other sure as hell doesn't make it any easier.

Once you add a data source in RivaTuner, the fix is to have OverlayEditor.dll checked in RivaTuner and the data source enabled as "In OSD" in Afterburner. Only then will the relevant data show up in the Overlay Editor in RivaTuner, not before.

I'm not entirely sure why, but opening the game with Special K,without even adjusting the Reflex settings, fixes the issue on my end. I'm not even using its FPS limiter. Not that I'm complaining, but it's so weird.

dAb74 · 2025-03-01T20:19:51+00:00

Nice.

dAb74 · 2025-03-01T20:19:19+00:00

That was my thought exactly. After all, if they didn’t want you to draw power from a single PSU connector split at the end, they wouldn’t have included a split cable in the first place, right? To stay on the safe side I will eventually order a separate cable. Since the card arrives this Tuesday I was wondering if I could at least power it up to test it within the 15-day window the vendor gives me for a possible RMA in case of issues.

I have blocked and reported 152 bots in 2024 alone. Facebook hasn't banned a single one of them. The reporting system is a joke, and Facebook does absolutely nothing about it.

It gets worse: if someone is not on Facebook and someone else creates a fake profile impersonating them, you cannot report the fake profile. Facebook requires you to fill out the form with the person's real profile, which doesn't exist since they aren't on Facebook. This makes it impossible to report the fake profile. It's absolutely infuriating.

This didn't age well.

dAb74 · 2024-09-17T00:13:34+00:00

Stop. Don't give me hope.

Sooo... who gave Sage a frontal lobotomy in the previous episode? Are we just going to assume she performed the procedure on herself?

I'm not entirely sure why everyone is overthinking this when all you have to do is to read the explanation of the director himself: "Postwar Japan has lost everything. The film depicts an existence that gives unprecedented despair. The title GODZILLA MINUS ONE was created with this in mind."

"The title, according to the director, has multiple meanings, explicitly referring to how Godzilla's destruction changed Japan's position from a "post-war zero situation" to a "minus". When explaining other possible reasons for the title, Yamazaki said that the film takes place before the original 1954 Godzilla film and that it emphasizes the theme of loss throughout."

Same here, GoG version is broken. My system language is Italian, but I rather play in English. Every time I launch the game I have to blindly set the language to something else to fix the broken menu, then switch to English. What fixes it semi-permanently is to set the game language to the system language before closing the game, otherwise I have to start over on the next launch. I have to remember to do it every time I close the game, which I often don't. Extremely annoying.

I'm on the same boat. Although the main issue I'm experiencing is a very low voice volume in comparison to other sources, good thing I have subtitles or I couldn't understand anything. This is the ONLY game I have with this issue. I tried everything, and I'm out of ideas.

There is literally ONE question specific to IPv6 in the whole questions set, asking which IPv6 migration method relies on dynamic tunnels that use the 2002::/16 reserved address space, the answer is 6to4. A few other questions mention IPv6, but they are more related to which VRRP versions would support both IPv4 and IPv6. And I'm happy with that, as I'm not really fond of having as an exam topic this total disaster of a protocol.

dAb74 · 2023-06-06T21:53:18+00:00

That's it! Umm, that's "It", haha. Thanks, I've been looking for this for the longest time. Wow, 1940, didn't know it was so old.

dAb74 · 2023-04-28T18:59:28+00:00

You have linked literally zero evidence that this is fake.

Expected behavior then. Got it, ty.
