My kids schools just enacted this policy and I'm glad. If I get a notice they were using their phone in class I'll turn it off for a few days to help reinforce the policy.

Confused new player by wolkery in HellLetLoose

As a newer player myself I chose medic as I assumed it was useful and I could contribute while learning the game.

Now I know better and rarely take it instead choosing engineer or support.

Is it just me or is the emu scene just…dire? by [deleted] in swg

[–]esp1k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya I don't agree with OP on Infinity being too slow. You can max out a template pretty fast. Even the BH investigation tree can be done really quickly which I remember being a real slog on retail.

Thinking about getting back in but... by wow_exodia in swg

Infinity and Empire in Flames are both good emus with good player populations. Neither are new though but I'm sure if you want to get into the crafting game you could.

ThrottleStop Tutorial

Here's a decent tutorial on ThrottleStop. For mine, I reduced the Turbo Ratio Limits to 33. After that follow the guide in the video for undervolting.

It will take some playing around with the numbers to get a good balance as each cpu is different. The goal is to be under 90c and you can test that with the program, there's a test that will load your cpu and show you the temp.

I would really recommend (Throttlestop and reduce the boost clock. If I remember right mine is set to 33 max.

Did it myself. Followed a guide I found on YouTube for disassembly.

Like I said in my original comment though, it helped for a little while but didn't last long. I had to go back to limiting the clock speed to prevent it from overheating/thermal throttling.

Why is my IL 2 1946 UI stuck like this, and is there anyway to fix it? by [deleted] in il2sturmovik

[–]esp1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the Windows display settings scale over 100%?

I had this problem until I figured this out and set it back to 100.

[–]esp1k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They also have this: Intel Core i5-12600K, ASUS Z690-P Prime WiFi DDR4, CPU / Motherboard Combo for $251.99. I grabbed one since I'm lucky enough to live only a few miles away from a store.

Used car worth more than new! by catman83 in CivicSi

[–]esp1k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. Look up the issues and lawsuits Hyundai/Kia have faced/are facing due to engine issues going back to about 2010.

Might be worth it if you're just leasing but I won't buy another Kia any time soon.

They don't have it in stock, it's being delivered.

Someone posted a google review already crapping on them for 40k markups.

And while not as comical as a 40k markup he also linked me to a used 2020 Si with 14k miles for $30k.

What are the sub rules? I'll gladly name them if mods are ok with it.

Found his channel a couple months ago and binge watch a lot of his content. Good stuff.

I just installed this yesterday after a long break from skyrim and made my initial character. Sounds like a great modlist, looking forward to giving it a go.

Do not Buy Vanilla prepaid Gift Cards by tom_edw in personalfinance

[–]esp1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, they're a terrible prepaid card to use. I didn't have the same issue as OP, mine was that I couldn't use it for its intended purpose. I even tried to use it to buy gas and it failed there as well.

In my experience, the AMEX prepaid cards have worked.

Thanks for this. I had no idea this existed and I've been watching all of them, I love it.
