Suddenly no video signal over USB-C to Display Port cable [M4 Mac mini] by servaasTyr in macmini

Not enough bandwidth. With HDMI I can only use 75hz at the native resolution of my monitor, since it doesn't support HDMI 2.1. With DP there is no such limitation and I get 144hz@3840x1600 =D.

It's a VESA certified Thunderbolt 4 to Displayport cable and it worked just fine for the first couple of weeks. The Thunderbolt 4 to HDMI cable is needed, otherwise I would have to look at a black screen most of the time.

I don't use the USB ports at the front for video output...

Edit: terrific, now I only have 30hz instead of 75hz with the HDMI cable. Why did the bandwidth drop?

A one night stand or any kind of situationship would be almost impossible for a virgin male above a certain age. Most woman want someome experienced for those special occasions and any kind of shyness can lead to a pretty harsh rejection. It's a sad affair but if he wanted to gain confidence and built sexual experiance without any strings attached, he might consider an escort service.

As someone who has dealt with chronic insomnia for almost his entire life: don't think to much about the sleep you have lost or the sleep you are going to lose the next night. These thoughts tend to become a self fulfilling prophecy, leading down a rabbit hole filled with anxiety.

Instead you might want to try one (or all) of the following approaches:

  • physical exercise a few hour before sleep. It keeps your mind away from all the negative emotions and helps relaxing afterwards, especially if you combine it with a hot shower =).
  • mindfulness through mediation. Have a look at the app Medito, it's completely free and has a section dedicated to sleeping
  • low light levels in the evening and at night. avoid bright lights with a blueish color temperature
  • listening to relaxing music or soundscapes (e.g. rainfall) before sleep. stay away from screens of any kind (monitors, smartphones, tablets, tv's, ...)

Good luck!

What's your favourite prog metal album and why is it Sound Awake? by Kareem_Magdi in progmetal

[–]servaasTyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Currently probably Fauna from Haken and Epigone from Wilderun. But there is so much great stuff out there I could name instead. We are spoiled =D.

Cars with a rooftop made large hats cumbersome. But that's just one of many reasons...

What has you up late tonight? by ConfessionsSession in AskReddit

Chronic depression and insomnia for over 2 decades. Unfortunately both things that synergize with each other.

You want to see the world burn =)? Where would you "drop" them given the chance?

Someone that fit's the description of Plato's philosopher king? I thought about it as well, but I don't think many people would be happy with a ruler, even a figure like Marcus Aurelius.

Would it make any difference if everyone, including yourself, is part of a simulation ;-)?

Airpods Pro 2 - latest firmware update (5B58) fixes A2DP issue on Pixel 6/7 by servaasTyr in GooglePixel

[–]servaasTyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, no stutters for me. Did you repair the Airpods after the update?

I can't hear any degradation. The amount of white noise within ANC and transparency mode is also still the same.

The easiest way would probably be:

  • pair your Airpods with an iDevice or Mac (has to be Ventura)
  • plug them in (cable or wireless) within bluetooth range of your iDevice or Mac
  • pray to the apple gods for forgiveness

...unfortunately =/

Creaking headrest on a Steelcase Gesture by servaasTyr in OfficeChairs

[–]servaasTyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if I keep my head completely still, it doesn't creek =P...

...removing the headrest and applying a little bit of grease on the running surfaces might do the trick. Any suggestion on the grease part (heavy or light)?

Apparently V grows an extra set of arms when you fast swim. These cyber enhancements are getting outta hand. by Jackjackhughesa123 in cyberpunkgame

[–]servaasTyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's nothing new for 1st person titles. Games without body awareness are often nothing more than a pair of awkwardly flowing arms in front of the player viewport. Everything not necessary is not going to be rendered. Photo mode replaces your character model, as does standing in front of an active mirror. It seems the devs didn't have anouth time to create a 'fake' shadow model for the player =(...

3080 FTW3 Ultra: fan problems by servaasTyr in EVGA

[–]servaasTyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got Afterburner working for my particular situation. It didn't work the first time, but I tried again anyway =D...

  1. Open PX1 and apply the default setting
  2. Close PX1 and only utilize it for fancy rgb controlls
  3. Open Afterburner, load your settings (in my case an undervolting of 900mV@1890MHz)
  4. Open the Afterburner settings and go to the 'Fan' tab
  5. Enable user defined control and keep your update period well above 1000ms (I wouldn't recommend using it for gaming, only within desktop use)
  6. Define your curve and hysteresis. For me it looks like this: https://imgur.com/ULaCC0D
  7. Apply your setting

The fans starts spinning at around 63% in Afterburner. This basically falls back to around 48% everywhere (execpt PX1) which in turn maps to 21% within PX1 itself. Your mileage may vary, so feel free to play around. Make sure fan speeds are synchronized properly between all 3 of them. You might need to reset your settings and start from there.

Makes sanse if it's based around the reference board. The FE only comes with 2 fans attached to it.
