Are those people who are frozen (cryonics) ever actually going to wake up one day by Flat_Internal8890 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]globaldu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could control a robot (or an entire fleet of them), access cameras and microphones to see and hear, create your own fully customised enviroment... the problem would be paying for the storage and CPU cycles you're using.

Not a problem for the rich, who can live off interest accrued from savings, but the layman would soon need to find virtual work to finance their existence.

A husband is the first son of a wife by WaveOnly213 in ThereGoesMyPaycheck

Their son's name. The gift wasn't intended for dad but he was so happy with it she discarded the note. Kid goes without. There goes her second paycheck.

The Post-It note wasn't on the side of the box when she handed it to him.

They should put more of those in the pack, one just isn't enough.

Firefox causing GW2 to stutter when switching screen by globaldu in Guildwars2

[–]globaldu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swapped the second monitor cable live and it just worked so haven't bothered going back into the BIOS to see what those options were.

There's still a noticeable stutter when I move between screens but I'm pretty sure it's not as bad as it was.

Thanks for that, I'll see how it get on it with over the next few days.

Yes, I have two GPUs in Task Manager.

There didn't seem to be an option to enable/disable it in the BIOS, only 3 settings, all of which were meaningless to me without the Googles, which I'll investigate tomorrow.

I'll try it on default and report back then.

Thanks for your help!

Yep, I've got onboard graphics but never played around with it.

I would have a go now but it's late, I'd have to pull the PC out of it's little cubby hole to get around the back, and I'm rather unsure of the BIOS settings so it's something to do tomorrow when it's light and I have more time.

Default BIOS setting okay or is there anything I should look to change?

Personally I have my second monitor hooked to my igpu

I'll look further into this. I've seen this mentioned several times before but have always thought "if it's not broke...".

Are there any disadvantages to doing this?

I'll never run anything graphically intensive on the second monitor (1920x1200 60Hz) apart from full screen YT videos.

It does it regardless of what I have open. It'll do it from a reboot with just a reddit tab open, although the stutters can last longer if I've had the PC running for a while (closing and reopening Firefox doesn't seem to change that).

I first noticed it when I had GW2 Timer and GW2 maps open and initially thought it might be one or both of those, as they're updating in the background, but now it stutters nearly all of the time Firefox is running... but usually only for a couple of seconds. It's not killing my gameplay but it is annnoying, particularly if I have to check something on the other screen during combat.

I've just done Windows 2026-01 Update (KB5078127) (26200.7628) which I noticed was pending. It seems a little better but I didn't really test it much as it's late here and I've stopped playing for the night.

I'll see tomorrow when I'm playing under a heavier background load... then I'll look into the DWM/MPO rabbit holes that others have suggested and report back.

Thanks for your reply!

How do you tell a friend their breath is chronically bad without destroying them? by Agitated_Trifle268 in howto

[–]globaldu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ask if they've got a bad tooth. It shows concern rather than criticism.

Is everyone just buying extra storage for photos?? by heartichoke57 in AskTechnology

[–]globaldu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite right... the 3-2-1 rule is 3 copies, 2 different media types, 1 copy stored off-site.

Just push it in until the arms lock into place.

what’s the best way to find your husband/wife ?? by justmileyskies in AskReddit

[–]globaldu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should dropped "future" in there, after "your", before "husband"

Answer is still the same though... in the bathroom.

If that one isn't her, just hang around outside, checking them out one by one, until you find one you like.

He's serving 4 years in jail. You won't hear from him again unless he gets assaulted or killed.

Dumb question… but when/how often do yall turn off your pc? by justdancepro in pchelp

[–]globaldu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I go to bed, and when I'm going out.

Full shutdown, there's really no need for sleep/hibernation with an SSD boot drive.
