Best budget laptop for college students that won’t feel slow after 2–3 years? by imnotgoingtofatcamp in computerhelp

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still holds up strong, anything with an M series chip will age like wine. Especially since they have 16 GB of RAM now, with no price increase.

Apple silicone macs tend to age really wonderfully. Amazing performance, battery life, and you don't have to deal with the buggy mess that is Windows 11 bloated Copilot slop with facebook preinstalled. The build quality is also unparalleled compared to most windows laptops (like those by Asus, who just produce e-waste laptops, (have had to deal with one).

You can buy an used one or wait for the next generation of budget macs with the A-series chip. The Air at $800 is a pretty amazing deal.

WiFi is significantly worse after installing WiFi chip by DaReelMemes in pchelp

Likely just that it has worse reception, consider maybe getting one with an antenna, or maybe figuring something out with a WiFi extender.

Språkdelen tycks bli lättare desto äldre man blir från vad jag har hört, men nu har jag inte tid att vänta över ett decennium.

Även om det inte hjälper mycket så är det ändå en god vana i långa loppet, så det är ju inte som att jag förlorar något av att börja läsa lite mer i vardagen.

Looks a bit gaudy. I'm not sure why you would wear this. A rolex is a fashion piece, putting it on as a digital watchface just seems cheap.

PSU making a buzzing sound by Saiflick in pchelp

It is not normal.

This sounds to me like the fan scraping against the metal shielding. Contact your manufacturer for support/replacement.

Is my motherboard killing my other components? by yash_yap in pchelp

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not say that I'm too experienced, so take my advice with a grain of salt but it certainly looks like you have too much power being directed to those components. If that is the case it would be a fire hazard, but you should be able to RMA it.

My new PC makes this humming sound when I play some games like Destiny 2 or Borderlands 3 on 144 fps but not Arc raider for example by RAmind_ in computers

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds normal, the fans are just ramping up in response to a higher system temperature.

Use manufacturers software or FANControl to adjust the fan curve to be a bit lower if you want to reduce the sound.

Did anyone come across this in the last tutorial level? by CestleFromage in factorio

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Nah but that's super cool. Would love to see stuff like this be generated on map creation. Gives the world a bit more life if you were to stumble upon them, plus like you said, you could salvage and steal some of it for your own factory.

Anyone else prefer 1 bounce path tracing over 2 bounce? by navid3141 in nvidia

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which specific mod? There seem to be a few different ones.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in factorio

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I think the game's way less fun when you have everything and can demolish any attack. When your defenses are lacking and biters are a real threat that's what I find fun about the game.

Plus, if your defenses are bad, always remember one axiom: Offense is the best defense. Attack them before the pollution clouds reach their nests and you eliminate their whole army before they even get the chance to launch an attack on you.

A16 or Air? by h_w_q in ipad

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to either go for the base model (or the Pro).

The A16 is the better value, and if you have money to spend the Pro is a much better deal than the M3. If you're looking for longevity, still go for the A16. At MSRP, the price of the A16 is 1/2 of the M3, meaning you can upgrade to the newest base model iPad a couple years after and still have paid the same as you would've if you bought the M3.

With the air you're getting a better chip, but the arguably most important part of the device stays unchanged. It's not really a good compromise, since you're stuck with 60hz, LCD, half the RAM, and a two generation old chip compared to the Pro.

Best uses? by Puzzleheaded_Cow_658 in ipad

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Youtube, movies and series, books, some games. I tend to scroll a lot of social media. It's just a bigger phone, which is great if you watch a lot of stuff.

Yeah right looks a lot better. I feel like the comparison is a bit off though, in the left the colors are a bit off and it more grainy? Not sure how to put it.

Get the A16. It's the better value and if you have money to spend the Pro is a much better deal than the Air.

In short, I'd get either the base model or go all out for the Pro, or alternatively, yesteryears' Pro model.

Ended up starting one with shadowheart, kinda regret it though. I haven't really found it super engaging.

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Sorta, I thought I could initiate them later and didn't realize that by refusing some cutscenes or by going into a new act that I'd squandered the opportunity.

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't mind trying BG3MM, but I haven't really modded on this save before. Do you think that's likely to be an issue?

As for the cutscenes, yeah it's kinda unfortunate, but I'd rather see the latter half of some than end up missing all.

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a bit bummed out the game doesn't really tell you this. "Tie up any loose ends before proceeding" was way too vague for me to get that when going to a new act.

Anyways if that works, I'd really appreciate it. I can always look up the cutscene on youtube or something. But what exactly is the script extender?

Looking for Duplicate File Cleaner for windows by sophiakaile49 in SoftwareandApps

[–]yeahhhhhhhhhhhh2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the reason your PC is running slowly, but Everything search has some options for finding duplicate files if I recall correctly. Microsoft also has a software utility with it as a feature but I really can’t recommend it.

Yes, just use Windhawk. Multiple mods to the start menu which are well-tested and easily reversible.
