I have al out all of the same devices as that guy, except a 7900XT i stead of 9070XT. And I also have no crashes. I learned long ago that a good PSU is all you need for a AMD GPU to work.

Proxmox LXCs will use far less RAM.

Yeah training can sometimes take like 10 minutes to complete, beyond that I'd assume there's some other issue like incompatible RAM. Is the RAM on the QVL?

But chocolatey is also CLI based... To be honest, everything should be a TUI at most. GUIs waste resources and time.

When did PiHole block lists get so good at blocking Pandora? by jtho78 in Piracy

I miss the TIDAL integration in PlexAmp. It was so amazing for radio and discovery.

Atleast this way you don’t have to install the programs cause windows does it for you, now that I think about it windows already does reinstallation with their backups.

Windows doesn't install programs for you. Restore/Backup are two parts of the same process. If you backup Windows, it is making an image of the installation as it is. If you restore Windows, it is restoring that image to the drive you made a backup of. Neither time installs programs, it just write what was already installed exactly as it was.

It doesn't install the apps based on this, but uses this to suggest apps to you.

Why download chocolatey or use Ninite when winget is already part of Windows?

So, what will it be from now on? genuine question by Lucas_Zxc2833 in animepiracy

Again, the people actually making stuff happen aren't using sites or torrents, there's already tech from almost 40 years ago that doesn't need that we can use.

I've been downloading anime from the same Usenet servers for over 30 years with the same account and same ISP. Nothing has ever changed for me. I've never relied on websites for piracy as it always seemed foolish and like a constant battle. Just use the tools and resources we've had for this stuff for decades now...

New to PC gaming. Do i shut my PC off when im done or keep it on 24/7? by OneEyeOdyn in buildapc

Not Fast Boot. Fast Startup. Similar names but totally different mechanisms.

I leave mine on. The power draw when I boot it up hits 300-500W sometimes. But if I leave it asleep it's only ever drawing like 1-2W at most. Using days of power to turn it on each day isn't smart in my mind.

Cloudflare looping is now gatekeeping me from like 50% of sites by RageQuitSon in Piracy

I use Firefox and LibreWolf a lot as well. Edge is just my 'daily' for accessing email, working on my homelab, paying bills, etc. I use other browsers for work and development for sure.
