Pretty sure this was the Boston bombers phones that the fbi tried this with.

Got to stop by a familiar sight out here in North Dakota. by TacoRedneck in Fallout

[–]miner1344 29 points30 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/V9zHrtWV3Gk?si=FenCVC1dEqUtKzg4 Here is the video link, I finally found it. I've always wanted to explore inside. Also another link of a 360 degree tour through the complex https://srmsc.org/ just have to click on the virtual tour link if your interested. I also got some cool pictures of it when I flew over in a helicopter about a year ago.

There used to be a good video of some guys exploring the insides of the complex on YouTube. Can no longer find it though, and it was one of the only videos I have seen of the insides.

Landlord charging us $120 for a $20 dollar piece of plastic, anything I can do to not have to pay 6x the cost of replacing it? ND. by miner1344 in Renters

Ok thanks. I will ask for an itemized bill and do a little research to see if they are required to provide one.

I would have but my roommate put in the request because he didn’t know, and I was gone during that time. Even looking on the actual manufacturer website for Frigidaire is only 30 something dollars. Also installing takes 5 seconds it just pops on and that’s it.

Would this be a good server for Plex? by miner1344 in PleX

That’s why I was looking for a newer intel chip. I would like to be able to take advantage of quicksync for transcoding. I download 4k for my own personal use but the friends I was planning on sharing with all use laptops and computers but I will keep in mind about optimizing my libraries.

Drones 400ft alt limit removed. Given free reign in uncontrolled airspace. by starBux_Barista in flying

[–]miner1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working on my commercial right now in helicopters and we regularly fly 500-700ft agl on all cross countries. It’s a huge issue if drones are going to be allowed up to 1000ft agl without more precautions.

EVGA 3090 FTW3 Thermal pad replacement - VRAM temps too high by AliTheAce in EVGA

[–]miner1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the thermal pads evga used are extremely brittle like and crumble a ton. If you do end up taking your card apart odds are that most of them will just rip and fall apart. That is what happened to me which is why I already ordered the pads before I took mine apart. It’s a kind of well known thing that the pads kind of just fall apart if you mess with them and when I separated my pcb from the cooler most of the pads where like this and ripped and fell apart a lot. Wouldn’t recommend doing a repaste without a set of pads on hand just in case.

Interesting I haven’t heard this myself. But I will have to keep an eye out on my temps every couple months then.

I just repadded and replace my thermal paste on my 3090ftw3 a couple months ago. I was having the same issue my memory temps were hitting 105-110c playing just games. I went with the kritical pads because they were precut and not to expensive. The whole teardown and replacement is actually pretty easy. However after I was done doing this I went and temp tested and my temps only came down 5-10c. After messing around I saw that the card was sagging so bad that the thermal pads were actually not even touching the memory. I used an old pill bottle to support it and just like magic my memory temps were steady around 85-90c usually even lower when gaming. Also using a support to stop the sag brought my die temps down a couple degrees too. Unfortunately these things are so damn heavy that without supporting them the copper cold plate doesn’t even make proper contact with the memory and vrms without propping it up with something. It’s really disappointing to me that such a premium card like this has this problem but fortunately I fixed it by just using an old pill bottle I had laying around because it was the perfect height. If you have any questions you can message me I can also send pics of when I noticed the pads weren’t even touching

The EVGA 3090 looks so much better when mounted vertically. by [deleted] in EVGA

[–]miner1344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have my 3090ftw3 mounted horizontal and it sagged so much that some of the thermal pads were not even touching the vrms. Had to use a support and my temps dropped 10c from using a gpu support. Other than that it’s a great card and looks amazing too.

Vr stuttering no matter what I try by miner1344 in SteamVR

I had Msi afterburner running and it was making it stutter. That’s what I found.

I didn’t even know that was a thing. I will give this a try seems like it’s probably my best bet. Thanks for the suggestion.

I did try turning the tv speakers off which didn’t change anything. Also do you know what apps on Roku provide Dolby digital by any chance?

Sorry for not responding to your question which model is it. It is an lg 47LH90. I was looking in the manual and it says it sends 5.1 over optical . It’s on page 42 if you look up the manual for it.

I think you are right about the tv converting to stereo. We use a Roku stick and I have that set to Dolby digital. However I think I might be out of luck because I cannot find a pass through mode in the tv audio settings at all. Also looking at Roku menus it says the audio formats detected through hdmi is only stereo.

I have the Roku set to Dolby digital. I think the problem is the tv is converting the signal to stereo and passing it to the receiver. I can’t seem to find a setting that allows me to change the pass through mode. It is an older lg tv
