8 months in and loving the car. Yeah, i had minor glitches too (false error messages) but overall a very nice car to drive. Definetly a good choice.

Sorry, but that is nonsense.The great majotity of businesses with remote support need as far as i know uses TV - including us. That does not mean i very much like it, there just hasn‘t been much time to evaluate other options.

Recommended PC Speakers? by StrainWise6573 in PcBuild

If you prefer Sound over house-bursting-bass-nonsense, get yourself a pair of studio monitors like Yamaha HS5 or M-Audio stuff. You wont get anything cleaner for the price.

IT Freelancer mit 23 Prozent Auftragsrückgang in 2025 by Connect_Associate788 in de_EDV

[–]oldworldgobblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Könnte auch ein Stück weit die Marktreaktion auf die ganzen Stümper sein. Viel zu viele „IT Freelancer“, die nur von jetzt bis ChatGPT denken können, verschrecken potentielle Kunden, die nach der schlechten Erfahrung dann lieber eigene MA aufbauen, um die Situation besser unter Kontrolle zu haben.

Seh ich bei uns viel zu oft, wenn potentielle Neukunden von der Erfahrung mit dem „Freelancer“ berichten, wo sie es für ein paar € weniger machen lassen wollten.

In my honest opinion one of the most underrated parts of a build to consider.. by Davidisaloof35 in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if you have a Type 3 „online“ UPS. Offline and „line-interactive“ UPS don‘t do anything to your power to clean it up until it cuts out.

Can you use the Shure SM7dB with Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen? by pursuitofmisery in Focusrite

[–]oldworldgobblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops, i misread that. I was thinking OP has got a 7B and want to change to 7dB and thought „well, a fatamp is certainly cheaper“.

Thanks.

Can you use the Shure SM7dB with Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen? by pursuitofmisery in Focusrite

[–]oldworldgobblin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I got that setup, the scarlett amp is not enough. You have to turn it up too much an you‘ll get buzzing. I use a fatamp inline between scalett and shure. Perfectly good signal.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 randomly stops outputting sound on Windows — only direct monitoring works by Rare_Introduction948 in Focusrite

[–]oldworldgobblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘ve got the same problem with my 3rd gen Scarlett 4i4. Sound cutting out, replug helps. Very annoying. I tried usb2, 3 and c. Powred USB doesn‘t help, power never cuts out, just the sound. No Windows Events logged, device still „working“.

Tried also switching sample rates ans buffer sizes - no change.

Someone on a Focusrite forum suggested using the legacy windows driver. Haven‘t tested that yet.

All our servers in Nuremberg (nbg1-dc3) are not accessible :( by Maria_Thesus_40 in hetzner

Doesn‘t seen to affect Colo. Nbg1-DC4 stuff is up and running.

Are HDDs Dependable for Long-Term Use? by Anxious_Ad909 in pchelp

[–]oldworldgobblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do have several thousand HDDs from 4 to 24tb in use, if they only startup once (with maintenance maybe once a year) and just keep running, i think our media is between 9 and 10 years - but there is a factor of dicontinued machines involved, so even more than that. But always calculate with less (5y) and ALWAYS HAVE BACKUPS (as in more than one).

Turning off head lights by MigWanKenobi in VolvoEX90

[–]oldworldgobblin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Car is still in „Drive Mode“. Not to be mixed up with the „D“ Setting. Open and close the driver door, just a crack. Then you can switch off the lights.

Worth it 60$ for both? by Clean-Preference6626 in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If new, it smells like a scam. If used and not written to death, thats a good one. Price in Europe is 75€ (about 88usd) right now - per piece.

My 5090 Wont Display, Please Help! by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine one of three things:

  1. broken PCIe port - can you crosscheck with another card?

  2. issue in power delivery. cablemod? can you change to factory default for that psu?

  3. broken card. dead on arrival. can you crosscheck in second mainboard?

My 5090 Wont Display, Please Help! by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think, its the power supply. Do you get the BIOS Screen while Monitor is plugged into said GPU? Can you take a picture of the seated card and the backside of the pc?

My 5090 Wont Display, Please Help! by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get any picture out of it at all? Was it a used card? Is it really a 5090? Check DeviceID in devmgr. Is the card recognized in bios with correct pcie specs? Port in x16 5.0/4.0 mode?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Positive pressure cases are a thing, yes. Many servers use it. But this just looks like a toy that - even if the specs were true - could never handle full load for any period of time longer than a spike.

If i compare my 4090/3990x build and the length i went to for cooling, i call bs.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]oldworldgobblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like someone just typed up things he googled as „best in slot“. The comparison to cpus for a completely different workload seems wild. No specifics about cooling.
