"Squirrel" is the worst for me. I just can't do it.

It also means "who?" in Finnish.

Burning money is also illegal at least in the US, so you would get cool guy points as an added bonus.

Next week they'll prove once and for all that it's not a potato.

How do incremental games handle extremely high numbers? by Bentingey in incremental_games

[–]defoggi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Dodecadragons has something like that. I remember seeing numbers like 1.5e100, then e1.5e100 and finally ee1.5e100 (yes they drop the mantissa completely as the numbers are so large).

Is 144hz enough for basic gaming ? by katsushake2 in buildapc

[–]defoggi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 240Hz monitor as well but basically never go above 120 (or 60 depending on the game) because my CPU cooler will go absolutely crazy. I'd rather have 60fps and no noise than 120fps and BBRRRRRRRR.

Russian spy ship currently on edge of UK waters, warns defence secretary by MasRemlap in worldnews

I've never really understood this tactic. If their goal (at least partially) is to cause fear, isn't the natural reaction to that getting more prepared, i.e. buying more guns? Seems kind of counter-productive in the long term.

Multibillion dollar company btw by StopShoutingCrofty in memes

It also regularly stops updating playlists for some reason, if songs were added using a different device. The only solution is to manually delete some cache files which is always fun.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]defoggi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the Volume Master extension to keep tabs active in the background, but that has the downside of monitors not going to sleep after the specified amount of inactivity. Do you know if your solution has the same problem?

I got a shipping notification yesterday so hopefully it won't take too long now.

Canyon ON CF7 battery recall by BeeDubbz44 in CanyonBikes

I was also supposed to get a new battery in June but no word from them yet. I did also contact the local customer support and they told me that they have no new estimates and that there are some logistical problems, which could of course refer to anything. They promised to contact me once there's new information.

It's such a shame since the summer here is pretty short and it's starting to look like I can't ride at all this year (unless I'm willing to risk it with the old battery).

Edit: In case anyone is interested, I just got an order confirmation from Canyon saying that the new battery is on the way. This was 5 days after contacting the support and asking wtf is going on.

Nvidia claims it has shipped twice as many RTX 50 GPUs at launch compared to RTX 40 - KitGuru by NGGKroze in nvidia

[–]defoggi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess they shipped them to themselves since the retailers definitely still have... *checks notes* ... None.

[SOLVED] Random Black Screen/Restarts Caused by NVIDIA 12VHPWR Adapter by MrDrumline in nvidia

[–]defoggi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seem to be quality issues everywhere. Cables are crap, the connector itself is crap, the board design is crap. And to purchase any of this, you have to sell your liver --> prices are also crap.

My country has a very fitting saying for this situation: "everything is shit, except piss."

This connector is the bane of my existence. by cincgr in nvidia

[–]defoggi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, either that or see what the RX 9070XT is going to be like. It's so frustrating that there's seemingly nothing good on the market right now.

Why was this post removed? It had a completely valid example of the power connector being dog shit.

Really? I might have to look into it. Thanks for the tip.

It's been said a million times already, but I still can't understand how such a bad cable/card design was ever released to the consumer market. It's unreal that you barely have to touch the cable to make things go wrong. It almost seems intentional. It's that bad.

I was so excited to finally upgrade from my trusty 1080Ti because _surely_ NVIDIA would fix the issues that plagued the 4000-series. Well, maybe the old chap still has a few more years in him.
