Can you imagine what I'd be like if you thought staring at a section of code wondering "What the hell are you actually doing?" was fun? What a charmed life that would be.

When I first got on cable, I would play X-Wing vs Tie Fighter multiplayer on the MS Zone. I got recruited into an online league and since I was the only medical-sphere player, they named me Fleet Surgeon General. I was responsible for the hospital ships players’ website, as well as the day to day matchmaking and website management. I copied like 90% from the US Navy’s medical staff organization’s online manuals and website, changing all references to “sailors” to “troopers.” I also updated all the links and changed some to point to other RP pages. It was plagiarized everywhere, but did have many original materials and resources for RP reasons. It was a lot of fun, and i was sooo thankful to hang out with friends and Shooty-Mans for a few hours a week just for relieving stress from studying and labs.

There's a weird mentality that some places have where all of the work must be fully original and unique. It's loving stupid and nobody actually works that way, but for some reason some academics found it useful.

I'm not sure this is the right thread to post this. I'm installing Windows 10 from a USB on an Asus laptop. I make it all the way to the part where it says 'where do you want to install Windows', but there are no options, and even if I manually select C: it doesn't let me install it. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Either you have no disk in the system, or Windows PE doesn't have the right drivers to enumerate it. Usually RAID or whatnot. Was this machine in use recently? I'd check your BIOS/Firmware settings to see if the disks show up there, and what their settings are.

Also set the bios to UEFI-only booting, if it's not set that way by default. (on asus that's in boot -> launch CSM -> boot device control : uefi only)

I am having a really bad issue with Windows 10, too. It's on my ThinkPad T25 (essentially just a T470 but with a classic 7 row non-chicklet keyboard). Out of seemingly nowhere, for the past 2 months or so, sound just constantly breaks on this thing. I'll be watching a youtube video or something and randomly the sound will just cut out. Then I'll try to adjust the volume by clicking the icon near the clock. I can move the slider up and down but it lags like crazy and eventually crashes explorer. I have to reboot my laptop to get sound working again after that. This happens probably 2 times per day; it's maddening. I uninstalled the Realtek drivers (I tried both old and new drivers; didn't help) and I "blocked" them from re-installing. I instead opted to force the machine to use the generic Windows "High Definition Audio Device" drivers. Somehow this made no difference and I still have the issue. Anyway I am ripping my hair out trying to figure this out and I thought maybe there's something else conflicting with the sound "card", so I chose "optional updates" in Windows Update to see what it showed. I get a bunch of stuff like this:  I am tempted to install them all just to see if it somehow fixes my sound issues but I am a bit weary since the drivers they are showing are so ridiculously old that they're actually from before my laptop was even manufactured. Also the one from 1970 isn't helping. Are these safe to install? The way Windows 10 hides them, plus the little warning on top makes me think it's a bad idea, but I am all out of ideas here. Are these things already installed on my laptop; just older versions?

My “inherited” Dell laptop wasn’t running very well, and I eventually checked the BIOS version in a system information type program. It was never updated since 2008. I downloaded all the updates (ver2—>ver11) one at a time, and there were a bunch of Win10 “optional updates” available afterwards. I just ticked auto-update and went to bed. Worked perfectly in the morning, and every day since. Even with 6Gb RAM and booting from a HDD (which drives me insane after years of SSD boots).

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:I am tempted to install them all  I wouldn't do thatFor the various intel system stuff, instead go here to get the latest intel chipset drivers automatically found & installed. Secondly, I would get the realtek audio driver direct from lenovo and try that. It's dated Oct '20, so relatively up to date. Normally I wouldn't expect the audio drivers to be any different than the generic realtek ones, but since you're having problems that's the safest choice. After trying that, if it's still happening there are two main directions I'd look: • other software that may be loving with the the windows audio system (including the Dolby headphones stuff that comes with windows). turn all that stuff off. • deeper problems. try disabling the realtek HD audio in the device manager and using it for a day or two without audio. or if you can spare like $20, buy a cheapish USB audio adapter or use headphones.

Thanks for the replies. If it is indeed a hardware issue, Lenovo will replace the motherboard because I still have two years left on the "white glove" warranty  I've literally never bought a warranty in my life but did for this because I want to use this thing for over a decade if possible (I'm hellbent on the 7 row keyboard) so I figured it would be worth it. They even replaced the motherboard a year or so ago when one of my kids tripped on the power cord and it ripped the USB-C ThunderBolt port out of its socket. I am gonna try a few more things, like installing a driver for a newer ThinkPad (the T15 gen 2) because it's also RealTek and has a much higher version number than mine, and I feel like companies are just being lazy and not updating older laptop drivers even though they are the same. I do have the gut instinct it's software though and not hardware, because rebooting fixes it 100% of the time. I would do the USB sound card thing but having something constantly stick out of my laptop at all times sounds like a recipe for disaster. edit: My "newer ThinkPad driver" scheme was a resounding failure Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Jul 30, 2021 |

I had a similar issue with a desktop a couple years ago and it turned out to be hardware related. The ‘loving with the slider eventually crashes Explorer’ thing was exactly the same. Since it was a desktop, I just went USB and disabled the sound in the BIOS, but I dunno if you can do that with a laptop. Edit: I troubleshooted it using a live Ubuntu distro, it gave Linux fits as well.

A new wave of cpus will be launching in the fall, so that would be a good time to get the new poo poo or an OK deal on the current gen. I don’t think there’s a firm date yet on when Win 11 will be in stores and OEM products, but probably shortly before or after the holidays. It will be a free upgrade if you already have a Win10 license, just make sure your motherboard/cpu are compatible.

Chia has already peaked, it hit 30PB at the beginning of this month and hasn't grown significantly since then There's a lot of HDDs idling to keep those 30PB stored, but since the network isn't growing it isn't consuming many new HDDs or SSDs

The HDDs I want to get for my NAS still are at 1 only on NewEgg and possible fakes on Amazon here in the US. It could be NewEgg being cautious but it's still quite annoying.

With off the shelf 18TB hard drives that's 1.6PB raw in a single box and 16PB raw in a single rack with 2U left over. If you had about $40m to blow on Nimbus 100TB SSDs you could get over 90PB of raw capacity in to a single rack, in theory.

Intel CPUs aren't bad as such, but they got lazy and AMD blew past them with Ryzen. Like for any given Intel CPU, you can get a Ryzen of similar performance with better power consumption and definitely for cheaper.

ThermoPhysical posted:That might be fun. Are the AMD CPUs good for gaming now? I've never payed much attention to them tbh so I wouldn't know... AMD have been pretty much universally better than intel on the desktop since the Ryzen 3000 series (2019), when compared like-for-like in price. And now their CPUs are even getting put into some decent laptops. What happened is that AMD made a good CPU, and at the exact same time Intel completely and utterly hosed up their manufacturing process. Intel is still using fundamentally the same 14nm stuff that they had in 2017 for desktop chips, which everyone else is on 7nm. Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Intel CPUs aren't bad as such, but they got lazy and AMD blew past them with Ryzen. Like for any given Intel CPU, you can get a Ryzen of similar performance with better power consumption and definitely for cheaper. Eh, Intel is trying to stay relevant by shoving more watts through the CPU, which was bad when AMD did it and bad now. IMO that makes them "bad" because even if the performance & price match up, you have a 300w spaceheater for a PC. Now you need louder or more expensive cooling, and it sucks to be in the same room with (unless you live in the arctic). They still have some features that can make that a price worth paying, so it's not totally one-sided. But yeah, ryzen is pretty much the way to go. (Also the current Ryzens have increased in price because AMD decided to make some profit, so for CPU-CPU cost ryzens aren't cheaper anymore. OTOH AMD mobos are still cheaper than Intel, so your total cost for a AMD system can still come in slightly below Intel. At least with DIY building.)

The 11400F at MSRP remains a great value for gaming and the kind of CPU that AMD doesn't have a competitor for. It's a shame that Intel is barely making any of them and you can't find them anywhere near MSRP. It's the one consumer product they can point to as something that AMD doesn't have an answer for, and they're just letting it fade into obscurity lmao.

it legit would not surprise me if the 3600 was still outselling the 11400F. they've sold just an absolute shitload of those chips and they were the "price to performance" king for so long that there are a trillion build guides and such out there that still recommend it.

The 3600 is definitely outselling it because AMD actually produces those. The 11400F is never in stock because Intel doesn't intentionally make them. They're chips with a defect on the GPU and 1 or 2 of the cores. If the GPU worked they'd sell it as a regular non-F chip, and if all the cores worked they'd sell it as a 11700F. If you could somehow get access to Intel's real sales data, I'm sure you would find that the number of 11400Fs they've sold is a rounding error compared to anything else. Like, they're cool for the people who manage to get them but you can't put that in a build guide.
