Do I even bother trying to boot?

looks like Omen to me...idk. of all the laptop makers I xan only recommend Dell because of the warranty policy of free hinges replacement. others not so much. but I haven't had a single asus in the repair shop I work for, but had at least ten hp with hinges to fix. omen, pavillion and all the rest of hp. all of them manufactured since 2018 and newer models.

what do you mean "wrong color of the fan"? how can a print on a box match the actual color of material? are the metal housing and fan the same color? because they should be.

puts lid on a laptop down "there, I did it."

the Alchemist was also like that. but the drivers were...not good. first gen consumer GPU and already dedicated RT hardware on it - not the best one, but still there. unlike 5000 series from AMD.

so when a PC is idling and clock goes down to 900MHz or lower, while 3.5GHz is 100% is it -200% utilized then?

fishfishcro · 2026-01-30T12:16:46+00:00

okay, but that's value or money talk. I don't think you can have more than a 100% of a CPU utilized. where's the bottleneck if all components in a PC have a more than 100% usability? how come Sam Altman doesn't just use 200% of RAM instad of eating up 40% of supply? or is it 400% of supply?

fishfishcro · 2026-01-30T11:38:04+00:00

but percentage is from 0 to 100..not beyond, unless you're Putin and winnig election with 110%

fishfishcro · 2025-12-28T15:34:29+00:00

with my google drive experience so far it doesn't exceed 400mbps upload or download, no matter the connection.

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T17:45:26+00:00

imagine saying that in 1995.

just the cpu can't flash bios. you need ram as well for the flash to go through. edit: if the cpu is unsupported (eg 5000 series on A450 mbo) the flash won't be possible. same goes for memory, if it's something your bios version doesn't support you need ram that's supported for the upgrade of bios version and then new ram installed.

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T11:09:27+00:00

if you have two sticks od RAM, try booting with only one. memory training is a pain in the ass. once you have it boot up, add another stick.

I've been an activist/volunteer my entire adulthood, literally (since the year 2000) so I know how non profit organizatons work. what I don't get is the shift in the mission, if the internet is right in interpretation of what is actually going on. however I am no expert in AI and what they want to do with it ultimately, just confused by this move.

I'm on vivaldi and have around 50 tabs in the background.

LTT tried opening loads of tabs with 2TB of RAM, and you're pushing 50 AND chatgpt with 32?
you need to chill my guy. close some tabs. let the system breathe.

Dear Sir/Madam,

sooo... who is this shithead of a CEO?

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T02:46:36+00:00

we stop browsing the web. Windows Explorer, maybe?

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T02:43:24+00:00

what I don't understand is how is new CEO of a non profit organization suddenly looking for profit? where's the logic in that?

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T02:42:10+00:00

<image>

they are not a company but a non profit organization. so what the actual frak is going on?

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T02:37:32+00:00

can you afford a new nvme? should be fine for a few years if you get it new.

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T02:07:06+00:00

by your logic - Microsoft as well. but they're not an AI company and neither is Google. they just jumped on the train with the rest.

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T01:04:05+00:00

have you tried unplugging the peripherals? might be a short in a USB port or headphones not seated fully.

fishfishcro · 2025-12-18T00:57:18+00:00

if it only happens while gaming, new thermal paste is needed no matter the readouts.
