A House-like TV show about troubleshooting computer issues would be absolutely fascinating to me and a dozen other people. All along you thought it must be drivers but it turns out that the exact RGB configuration used on the case fans combined with the anime waifu wallpaper caused a slight over-voltage on a RAM chip resulting in game crashes and only Hackerman was brilliant enough to see it.
i would watch that lol
If you want the dumbass version, you can find videos of influencers without any experiece build computers.
even the experienced ones! do you ever watch Linus Tech Tips? it’s so fun watching them rip up the water-cooling loops after realizing they put it together wrong, or trying and failing at different EFI hacks to get weird prototype cards to work or figure out why their mystery hardware isn’t booting.
After Emily came out, left the show shortly after, and then had guarded but definitely-not-positive things to say about LMG I’ve had a hard time watching. Nobody has explicitly said that she was dropped from the show for coming out as trans but if it walks like a duck…
that’s disappointing. I didn’t know about that.
Last time it was the drivers for me was Rage. That was some bullshit…
I had a minor loading/stuttering issue in games that plagued me for months. Turns out the SATA cable was loose. I had no idea those could BE loose.
I litteraly have one where the plastic around the gold connectors have come loose, still works after 5 years but once I disconnect the cable, the drive is gone
“Delete and re-download the entire game, but use a 56k modem.”
“My God house, the game launched fine! But how did the 56k modem have any effect?”
“It didn’t, the reinstall would have worked either way, I just wanted to waste your time as punishment for being stupid.”
It’s an irq conflict and the lan cable isn’t terminated.
wat is an Ian cable
Any cable that gives a network connection. So many different ones now I’m actually on board with LAN cable unless you need to be specific lol
(joke was “an ian cable”)
Nope, joke was it was coax cable on a bus network with BNC connectors. Embrace packet collisions, you coward.
I don’t know, it’s Ians’ cable, why not ask him?
why does lan always hog the cables ;-;
What about port blocking by the ISP? It could be a networking condition!
Which would be useful if telnet didn’t tell us the port is open.
it could be a bad RAM chip. we should start Prime95, check for ECC faults…
If she could afford ECC, she would wear nicer shoes.
Absolutely false. Everyone I know with ecc ram would sell their shoes for more if they could.
Check the NAT!
What about 12VHPWR syndrome? Spontaneous GPU power connector inflammation could explain why other games are affected es well…
Whenever my games start causing crashes I replug my 4070Ti power cable and it runs again for 3 months. Thanks NVIDIA
Everyone: what the fuck is he doing
Dr. House: installing NixOS
Flakes caused his issue. The user needs more flakes
I had the exact fucking same thing happen with metal gear rising, except it wasnt the drivers it was the wine config missing a ddl library for, wait for it: a fucking vr support library. A 3d PS3 game that doesnt support vr in any way, needs a vr library to function. Still pissed about that
Strong “I’m not printing that greyscale image, you’re out of yellow ink!” vibe.

I love this comment section
What’s the equivalent of “it’s never lupus”?
“Windows troubleshooting tool will never fix it”
It’s never DNS.
It’s never DNS, until you don’t check that first.
But it’s always DNS
“It’s never lutris”
It’s never a .NET compatibility issue
It’s never solvable with
sfc /scannow
it’s never bit flips?
It’s never the psu?
Nah it’s too often the PSU to actually be the proper equivalent
It needs more mouse bytes to run.
I recently had a game tell my my NVIDIA driver was out of date by like a year.
Ngl I just ignored it, that’s like a 500mb update and I’m just not interested in the time it takes unless something breaks.
Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?
Because I already have them and don’t need to download them again. 500mb on a mediocre day is like 2 hours.
If you mean online games, I tend not to because they often work poorly. For some strange, totally inexplicable reason that definitely has nothing to do with my terrible internet.
dang, sometimes i think my shit is slow, my heart goes out to you.
My mom told me she’s on 25 Mbps the other day. Have no idea how she survives.
Bro 25 would be sick. Most of my days I struggle to hit 2.
I’m in Australia and get about 100. High latency to the rest of the world though
I am rural Australia, it’s awful for internet lmao.
You can play online games and use discord on that.
Lived in a place that advertised 100Mbps speeds. Bullshit. It had 25Mbps on a good day. Lets not talk about the bad days.
Instant gratification has rotted y’all’s brains. A stable 25 down is not just survivable but cromulent. I’m on 100 down 40 up and can’t imagine how having a gigabit connection would make my experience any better when the bottlenecks are generally upstream of the ISP.
Instant gratification has rotted y’all’s brains
Nah, fuck off with that shit. I wanna download a modern game in less than 3 hours, thank you very much
My 500 both ways has yet to hit a bottleneck when it comes to large downloads, and has saved me hours upon hours of time since I got upgraded from 100. You have no idea what youre on about
100% this. Latency is far more important than bandwidth for most things and I’d much rather have a 50/20 FTTP service than a 300/100 cable or DSL line.
Bit or byte, those are completely different experiences.
We moved this week, so we had to swap our internet contract, because if we moved with the type of connection we had, we’d only get 16Mbits/s. With our current one, we get I think 500Mbit/s or about 60MByte/s
How much do you pay? Is it DSL?
Mobile data. Used to be ADSL, that wasn’t faster. I am rural af.
I have about the same speeds. I’m paying $65/mo, it’s 5G, and it’s better than every other option around.
Thats a bummer, $65 is gig speed around me.
Yeah, definitely. We have an ISP that offers gig speeds here, but it’s $180 a month with 300GB data last I checked.
Does anyone else get a crazy weird robotic static echoey sound on Arch (CachyOS)? It’s like it starts fast then gets slower and more drawn out. It is very sporadic so I haven’t been able to record it well. It’s happened on a USB headset as well so I know it’s not my speakers.
Have you checked your speakers? Mine make a weird noise but it’s because of interference from the cable and the motherboard I think, so I just bend the cable slightly until it stops making the noise.
I thought it was that, but I heard it through my USB headset too.
Just use arch.
I have no reason to believe the problem will go away if I use arch. I am not going to reinstall an entirely different operating system that the one I’m using just because every now and then my PC makes some funky noises with the hopes that maybe it will fix it. That’s crazy.
The rant.
House, type in paru -Syu
Still better

I hate Safe Mode.
