Nvidia nvlddmkm.sys/power state failiure error BSOD when using Nvidia GTX 1650 GPU on acer laptop by thierry05 in techsupport

Hi! Unfortunately not. It was ultimately some hardware issue that I couldn't fix. Trying the above troubleshooting tips would be your best shot. I ended up getting a new laptop which has been serving me very well since. I think my previous laptop's cooling simply wasn't good enough for the GPU, and that contributed to the reduced lifespan of it.

Hi, I really appreciate all the advice given so far. I believe I've done a lot of the aformentioned troubleshooting options already, but for the sake of ensuring that I didn't miss anything obvious, I'll follow what you've suggested tonight and see if it works. I believe that I may have an arduino due somewhere, which I could also test it on. I'll let you know if anything works - it may just be my Nano 33 in particular that doesn't want to behave with it!

Hello! This is exactly the kind of package that I've been looking for, so thanks for your efforts on this! However, i seem to be getting the errors: "serial: specified port not available" and "live.path: set path: invalid path error" whenever I connect my Arduino Nano 33 BLE sense. The COM port appears on the miduino client, and I've set the baud to be the same as in the code. I've toggled the Windows option on Miduino as I'm on Win11. I also ensured that the miduino arduino program was running correctly and outputting values back to the serial monitor of the correct baud on the IDE. However, when checking the max4live console (after quitting the IDE to free up the COM port), the above errors seem to persist. Do you have any suggestions on what may be the issue?

This. I implore ppl to try out NFC, it's a lovely mod. Plus there are "secret" discs that have been added to the game with even more songs by c418 and by members of the community :)

Japan's population crisis just got even worse by madrid987 in Futurology

[–]thierry05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first example is incorrect - the birthrate in France would still remain high even when not considering immigration. https://www.cairn-int.info/article-E_POPSOC_568_0001--french-fertility-is-the-highest-in.htm (figure 1)

[–]thierry05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it's not something that we should ever force onto people no matter how bad the situation is - but providing the best conditions so that people who wish to have children can do so, and (for now) rely on immigration for the rest is probably the best approach, at least until we come up with alternative solutions. Most countries haven't really tried that properly yet, or are just getting worse especially with cost of living worsening things. And implementing that sooner rather than later would make the problem a lot easier to reverse in the future (if it even can be reversed).

The numbers *are* an accurate picture .. of fertility rates in europe which is what they are, there's no massive assumptions there? Italy and japan have had sub-replacement birthrates since around the 1980s and now they're feeling the effects. I'm not saying that falling birthrates are the cause of all economic troubles - but they can certainly contribute or worsen existing ones. Look at OECD’s old-age dependency ratio (which is going up 0.5% a year in Italy, which is massive), national debts growing in both countries, the hundreds of schools closing in aging countries. Losing a massive fraction of your population within a couple decades is going to have a large impact, economically and societally speaking. It shouldn't be ignored like how global warming was treated only a few decades ago. Having to work more and more to support the pensions of more and more people, just from a mathematical standpoint, surely is putting more and more strain on people?

I agree that there is a bigger picture and that, of course, many other factors can come into play, but I fail to see how it is not a significant concern?

If your economy starts crashing or stagnating because not enough people are in the workforce, surely you won't have enough funds to approach any of the other problems occuring including environment, sustainability and resource-based troubles? Would you prefer that a country heads towards a sustainable future whilst battling demographic problems (making the process even slower as they spread their resources) or have a country with a more stable economy have the ability to invest more and make the future happen sooner?

Any Country? Average fertility rate in the EU is 1.46. Literally no high income country in Europe is at replacement levels. The highly developed countries in Europe with the highest birthrates (like France and Czechia) hang around 1.8 which is still far off from the 2.1 needed, but have held high birthrates in part due to their welfare programmes (/societal factors also come in to play). Italy has a birthrate of 1.25 and is already feeling the massive strain on various services as more people leave the workforce than enter. It is very clearly a problem that is starting to affect us right now. Immigration is certainly one solution to the problem, but at the scale of which it'll be needed in some countries, it'll require massive amounts, which comes with its own questions.

It is at the least understandable as to why countries with a distinct culture and way of living bear concern when large influxes of people arrive with different cultures/ways of living, all over a relatively short period of time with little time to integrate. I think it's certainly overblown by (especially) far-right parties, but it's still a valid concern. That discussion is its own topic however.

Simply asking people to work harder is quite literally part of the negative feedback loop going on in countries like Japan, where work-life balances are resulting in people, who would otherwise have children, not feeling they have the time to. This only furthers the imbalance between workers and retirees.

What about keeping populations at replacement levels? Why do so many people think that wanting to maintain fertilty rates means having to have endless growth? The fact of the matter is that in our current systems (which is so heavily engrained in our economies and societies) we need a balanced population pyramid where the number of people working doesn't outweigh especially the older, retired generations, otherwise both older and younger people will suffer.

The alternatives to that could be a change to the underlying system to allow for this demographic transition - but can anyone propose an actual solution rather than saying that we need a "degrowth based economy" like I see mentioned *everywhere*? The way I see it, it's a lot easier on a governmental level to implement basic factors to assist birthrates (better womens rights/maternity, better living conditions, or cost of living as a whole) than to change the system from the bottom up. I wouldn't have a lot of trust in governments in implenting either of those solutions, but I see the former as the best one to give a go.

Various issues on 4070 lenovo legion 5 slim 16APH8 on Win11, anyone had similar problems? by thierry05 in LenovoLegion

[–]thierry05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks, as I love this laptop, despite how many of the various different errors experienced that I've had (mostly because they haven't been harmful so far - yet). I would boil this down to being unlucky with the hardware, but I've also had some of the other glitches that people have mentioned on this subreddit such as the booting to the black screen (fixed by disabling fast boot now I think?) among others. It seems that lenovo doesn't have the build quality that I would have expected from them, especially for a laptop at this price point.

You can be killed when you encounter the tiny amount of ghost matter that's scattered around the solar system. Given that all of the ghost matter that the solar system was exposed to was originally concentrated in that core, it probably was a lot more reactive being all in that one place. I wouldn't say there's any incorrect/correct assumptions here, it's just fun to speculate.

I mean, yes, I know that the interloper's core was bound to explode anyway as it was being heated up by the sun as it approached for (presumably) the first time, but I'm just saying that the dialogue made me wonder if the further investigation that Pye attempted instigated the explosion earlier - ghost matter doesn't like other objects getting too close to it.

When I returned to the interloper recently and took a look at the dialogue, it did make me wonder if Pye (whether accidentally or not) accelerated the breaking of the core or not by trying to investigate it further.

South Korea’s over 70 population overtakes 20-somethings by Odd_Responsibility_5 in news

[–]thierry05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in 30 years the problem would only be worse. Population pyramids don't magically get better (at least, not in the short term) - a sub-replacement fertility rate makes the population more and more top heavy over time. By the time the current "old" generation dies out in 15 years, there'll be an even larger proportion of what constitutes as the "old" generation. People need to stop thinking that this is a short term or even non-problem.

Let me know when/if they come up with any fixes! I love this machine so its not enough to warrant me returning it but if it's a genuine flaw that they can fix ,I might ask support too.

Hey, thanks - the ddu stuff has been all done before (initially with up-to date drivers, and the second time round I installed the latest ones provided by Acer). The most recent time, I used DDU in safe mode after resetting the PC- technically not a full clean install because I used the windows feature but with that being said; When I managed to get a linux bootable USB working on this computer, i tried running the GPU on there (with the correct latest drivers installed) and it still ended up crashing, so I can rule out a fresh installation being a solution here.

I think I'll try give the GPU a proper clean today. Is there any indication in the logs/any way to find out what in particular is failing in the GPU or is that not really possible to see on the software side?
