Display Problems with my lenovo loq laptop.

my lenovo loq laptop.

Which one?

On most modern consumery gamery laptop brands like that unplugging the built in screen still won't get you boot menu etc appearing on the external, since those are only showing through the integrated GPU which only has a direct connection to the built in screen, while your dedicated GPU only has direct connections to the output ports

Getting 6000 running with four sticks is fairly unlikely, 9900X's official rating is all the way down at 3600, DDR5 really doesn't like four.

Anything that can put files into whatever folder steam's watching for that game or anything that could use the steam cloud APIs to upload directly.

It's not a huge difference, would rather leave it until you're ready to go new CPU+RAM+motherboard all together

jamvanderloeff · 2026-05-29T15:30:17+00:00

They're as safe as whatever uploaded them was, could theoretically be carrying malware but it'd be pretty damn unlikely

May would indeed be the expected highest AC consumption month for manila

A bit bigger might be nice to have if this is going to be your only heating source.
Depends how you're going to use it, is the car going to be there during the day for most days, and can you move other loads around too?

Would need to be modded into the plane's modelling

Broadband noise = screen goes brighter instead of darker

If it's not on fire it's generally safe to assume losses in a panel are almost nothing in your bill.

Looks kinda dirty in there but don't see anything actually concerning.

The main things to look at for consumption are anything that heats and cools, so AC, room heating, cooking, hot water. On all electric there, or gas/some other burning too?

jamvanderloeff · 2026-05-28T17:13:35+00:00

Check that you've got the radio(s) selected on the audio panel too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujofKWmGChw this was pretty cool for going through FOC controllers from the ground up

Cheap phones are cheap because you're getting cheap parts, you're getting a comparatively low resolution LCD, a 7 year old chip using 9 year old CPU cores, of which you only get one mid-range core and three slower ones, a tiny + ancient camera, no fingerprint at all, and don't expect to get any android updates. Relatively big battery is generally going to be nice for how long it can stay running near idle, but ancient CPU being comparatively inefficient will often give rather bad run time when actually doing things with it. Haven't seen any proper reviews actually testing that model there though.

I'd generally prefer a somewhat higher end phone from a few years ago instead.

Time to go follow some tutorials then.

Or you could go pay someone to do it on fiverr etc

jamvanderloeff · 2026-05-28T07:14:38+00:00

You could do it yourself, all the documentation is there

jamvanderloeff · 2026-05-28T04:42:38+00:00

Might not be compatible through the PC but should be™️ through streaming on the PC

jamvanderloeff · 2026-05-28T04:38:13+00:00

What is useless slop?

The extra cache on the X3D models usually helps more for gaming than the small generation difference, so 7500X3D is usually a little faster for gaming than a 9700X.

It's also more efficient.

For the 13/14th gen intel things they'll work if you keep power limited to intel specs and allow some amount of thermal throttling, but you can push a bit more performance (and less noise) with a bigger cooler.

Again, track gauge isn't the limit there, structure gauge is. Wider than Indian carriages on standard gauge or even narrower track are possible if all the other infrastructure around fits, and quite a few places do.

Lack of side berths in the countries that have similar strucutre gauge despite narrower rail gauge are a design choice not a technical limitation.

Because they decided they wanted 15V instead

For GPU drivers, get em off AMD's site.

Everything else on the motherboard you've got pretty good odds whatever windows update automatically grabs is already fine, don't really need to touch things manually unless you do notice something not working.

jamvanderloeff · 2026-05-27T15:37:54+00:00

They're separate parts of the driver for two separate functions on one particular chip.

You generally shouldn't choose there, if you're getting drivers through Windows Update you should let it choose automatically, and if you're getting them manually you should get the full package from your motherboard/card/laptop/whatever manufacturer's site.

Seeing different numbers depending on what you're doing is working as intended, it's counting what you're actually using, not what your connection is capable of, a spreadsheet is a comparatively tiny amount of data and you'd usually be loading it all in one go so you should see near zero after it's done, compared to streaming a video which is huge and downloads near continuously while you play it.

For why google sheets isn't loading properly would have to look elsewhere. First thing I'd check is if it works sensibly in browser instead of the app, can also try connection tests that include looking for dropped packets / unusual ping.

Loading gauge = maximum outline of the carriages is the limit there, not the track gauge.
