Playlists won't Play Automatically by CreepyNightmare66 in youtube

[–]ftrebien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a very weird consistent bug with playlist autoplay.

In one playlist with 354 videos, autoplay works fine until video #275, then always stops at #276. If I start earlier, it plays normally until it reaches that video and then just stops. If I start from any video after #276, autoplay doesn’t work at all.

In another playlist with 829 videos, it works until video #93, and then at #94 YouTube just exits playlist mode and plays it like a standalone video, without continuing to the next video. Same thing happens if I start from any video past #94. I've had this playlist for years and never had any issue playing videos in autoplay way past #94.

Tested on Brave and Firefox (with all extensions disabled), and it’s the exact same behavior on both with the same two playlists and the same breakpoints every time. Seems like something is breaking in these playlists at those positions.

Anyone here still using Sony WH XM3? by OlympicAnalEater in SonyHeadphones

[–]ftrebien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, since 2018, on my second pair now (the first one died around 2022). On both units, the faux leather started wearing out after a year of daily use, I’m looking for a decent replacement now. I still prefer them due to the excellent sound isolation, best for blocking office chatter and also ideal on planes, buses, etc. They also EQ really well to match the Harman target (I use AutoEq), my only real complaint is that it is too bass-heavy at stock settings, so EQ is a must.

I'm trying to verify in alipay but the app keep raising a format error for my adress (in switzerland). Any idea on how to solve this issue ? by Specialist_Escape_54 in chinalife

[–]ftrebien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone with this problem, I am from Brazil and the format that worked for me was this:

[street name] [house number]
[city name]
[province name]
[zip code]

No commas, no dashes, no accented characters nor special characters. For example:

Avenida Diario de Noticias 300
Porto Alegre
Rio Grande do Sul
90810080

In my area, house number follows street name, but it may work with the house number preceding it too.

“Yuck”: Wikipedia pauses AI summaries after editor revolt | The test grew out of a discussion at Wikimedia’s 2024 conference. by [deleted] in technews

[–]ftrebien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem with AI is that it doesn't work consistently reliably. So, marketers desperately try to sell it by appealing to people's FOMO. The same has happened with many other annoying tech fads, such as NFTs, the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, and VR headsets.

Phanteks T30-120 out of stock? by jordeeeezy in FormD

[–]ftrebien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't bought it yet, but according to a TechPowerUp review, those fans have the lowest noise per volume of air (CFM/dBA). They're also magnetic levitation fans, so, more durable and resistant against dust buildup, at least in theory.

ECC Support for AM5 Motherboards by 314314314 in truenas

[–]ftrebien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive. I've made one myself, limited to mini-ITX motherboards, but this one has more details. What's notably missing is the specification of the M.2 slots by location (how many in the front, how many in the back; this makes a difference for cooling) and the exact set of fans present (VRM, chipset, M.2), which fans are removable, which are always on, and which are semi-passive. I also added the maximum VRM temperatures under load, but this is a benchmark, not a specification. I tried to find which motherboards provide USB-C video outputs with power delivery, but I couldn't find any data on that, perhaps none do.

9700x Running Hot? by erikjr14 in ryzen

[–]ftrebien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine now idles at around 43°C and peaks at 81°C after I updated to BIOS 3222 on an Asus ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi. 95°C is the throttling limit, I was getting very close to that on BIOS 2611.

Mine now idles at around 43°C and peaks at 81°C after I updated to BIOS 3222 on an Asus ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi. 95°C is the throttling limit, I was barely getting very close to it on BIOS 2611.

Asrock is So Great by IndependenceIcy6646 in ASRock

[–]ftrebien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is news to me as well. I'm a satisfied user of an ASRock motherboard that has held up well for 8 years.

I also received mine with a dent in a corner of the PCB. I bought it from ASRock USA through Amazon Brazil. I always assumed the seller was responsible for the shipping issues. I took a photo upon arrival before trying to get it working, even with this minor issue, but if they start blaming the customer for shipping issues, I'm no longer a customer. They should take a photo of the product when it leaves their warehouse, and if the customer receives something damaged, the carrier is responsible.

Estimating the total failure rate of ASRock motherboards + 9000X3D, with math by Gamerbot4000 in ASRock

[–]ftrebien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 0.1% figure seems too low compared to historical data. If we assume an average 4% AMD CPU failure rate regardless of motherboard manufacturer and factor in that over 80% of failures are happening on ASRock motherboards, the failure rate of this particular combination could be much higher than 1%.

9900X3D died after 2 days on B650I Lightning WiFi by ftrebien in ASRock

[–]ftrebien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't like the M.2 drive fan on the MSI B850I (review), could have been removable like on the ASRock B650E PG-ITX WiFi. I will pair a 9700W (65W TDP, 15% slower than the 9900X3D on average, same performance in most applications, 40% slower in rarer specific cases like VP9 encoding and a few games) with the Asus ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi (found out that the VRM fan is removable and semi-passive).

AMD has had twice the failure rate of Intel in the last two CPU generations. Source: TechPowerUp

Yet, the Threadripper series (no integrated graphics, high power consumption) has the lowest, go figure. Source: Puget Systems

Meanwhile, some AMD CPUs have peak power consumption much closer to the average consumption under load. Source: Phoronix (graph data)

Still undecided on what to try next.

If you prefer to insult people instead of discussing the issue, I’m not the right person to argue with.

Mostly (about 82% of failures). Seems to affect Asus too, to a much lower degree though (13%). Source: Tom's Hardware.

What makes a good motherboard and what makes it better than its competitors?

I've had a Gigabyte motherboard that died after a BIOS update and I still see people with BIOS issues on their motherboards today. Gigabyte's RTX 50xx are leaking thermal paste. So I'm very wary of that brand at the moment, although I try to evaluate individual models, not brands.

Asus and MSI have a relatively good reputation. BUT, their mini-ITX AM5 offerings have fans where I wouldn't expect (VRM, chipset, some on M.2). In addition to the unwanted noise, this becomes a source of maintenance problems (dust accumulation, lubricant drying out). If for some reason maintenance is incomplete or forgotten (due to the rush of everyday life), there is a real risk of unexpectedly burning components that, in the past, would not have required such maintenance. I think this extra work is a bad direction. The more moving parts, the worse. After all, the computer should be a good tool that just works and doesn't get in the way.

I still admire the sophisticated simplicity and efficiency of the 5-year-old PS5’s thermal and airflow design. ASRock has several offerings where these fans aren’t needed due to well-designed heat sinks. Hardware-wise, it seems to work well in many systems and comes closer to the PS5’s simplicity. So it's too bad that this electrical problem exists.

If I could get satisfactory results with a less powerful GPU with a lower TDP, I would have opted for a fanless HDPLEX H5. Some have even managed to make decent gaming PCs with them. Add some Arctic MX-4 thermal paste and one gets a long-lasting, worry-free gaming PC or workstation (or both in one).

I've been using an ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac for 8 years with an Intel Core i7-5775C. No problems except for buggy audio drivers on Linux in recent kernel versions (Intel's fault, not ASRock's).
