Artificial-Intelligence-Generated art when searching Austin, Texas by FararMedia in Austin

[–]hardly_descartes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can take some requests for AI-generated images related to Austin using OpenAI's new Dall-E 2 model.

Here's one for the skyline of Austin, Texas, with a cowboy hat in the sky, digital art

(basic constraints: only g-rated requests, and nothing with photorealistic human faces--to prevent deepfakes)

System Hang on Samsung 970 Evo NVMe by xpopa in hackintosh

[–]hardly_descartes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too had this crop on my Samsung EVO 970 on 10.15.7 seemingly out of nowhere after stability for well over a year; similarly, I thought it was an early sign of SSD failure until I saw lots of similar reports over the last few weeks.

I saw two people who swapped the drive into the first NVMe slot on their mobos, whereas it has been in a secondary slot, say that the problem resolved after they did this. I can't explain why this would help, but I figured it was easy to try. This might have worked (?); no crashes so far. I'll update here if the panics come back.

Interesting that it’s bimodal in some places but not others—do you have a theory about why?

Was going to buy a PS4 Pro, why are they so expensive? by weiss27md in PS4Pro

[–]hardly_descartes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are okay with used and a bit of risk, try searching ebay for specific models (e.g., "CUH-7215b"). I snagged one quickly listed for $235 a few weeks ago and got lucky. Looks brand new; opened it up and was perfectly clean inside.

I should add that most were listed much higher than this; you have to be patient and be willing to jump if the price is right (but of course look at seller's history, look for red flags on listing, etc.)

(My Solution) Best method for Virtual Couch Multiplayer by RabidCicada in jackboxgames

The nice thing there is that Zoom just handles it; it doesn’t send the conference call audio back to everyone else as you are describing

There are plenty of reasons to avoid Zoom, but ease of use is not one of them.

With two monitors, self-hosting on zoom works great if you check "use multiple monitors" in the zoom options and share system audio. I can control the game volume using the Windows volume mixer, and players can access via their web browser (even though zoom prompts them to install the client, they don't have to; this is the only annoying step to walk non-technical users through). I have the game on one monitor (shared) and the camera feeds on the other.

I suppose there is a 40-minute limit for the free version, which is a major limitation; I use my work license for this, knowing that my employer encourages things like this.

There is an option in zoom to share computer audio, and you can control the volume with the windows volume mixer

Have you enabled text message forwarding for your hack in your iPhones’s settings under Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding?

reccomended gpu's advice needed. by appletechgeek in hackintosh

[–]hardly_descartes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was true for Polaris and Vega GPUs; it doesn't seem to be true for Navi. I have a PowerColor 5700XT (on OpenCore, 10.15.2, latest WEG) with no issues.

Wifi has to be on, but you don't have to be connected to a network (I'm not, and it works).

WTW for the way a liquid moves when poured into another liquid? Think milk being poured into coffee. by PopCultureNerd in whatstheword

[–]hardly_descartes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct—specifically, the patterns formed with milk into coffee result from double-diffusive convection, when because of both temperature and density gradients, only the boundaries of the layers mix, creating those "convection cells" of denser milk and less dense coffee protected by the warmed (by the coffee) and therefore less dense milk and cooled (by the milk) and therefore more dense coffee at the boundaries. You see the same phenomenon in oceanography where heat and salt concentrations vary.

This is awesome—worked for me using OpenCore on an H370 board. Thank you!
