No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It sounds like a motorbike throttling up and down. very very annoying. I've scanned with MalwareBytes, nothing. I've updated my drivers and this is still happening. I've even underclocked and undervolted my graphics card and set it into a low power mode to try and stifle the usage but to no avail.

is there any way I can literally force the 3D usage down while my computer is idle? My computer isn't running any program that uses 3D models right now. but it's like my GPU thinks it's running some 3D game. hella weird

edit it's not the fan making the noise either, I've manually activated the fan to see if the fan is causing the noise, and it's a separate nose to the one annoying me. the noise I'm hearing is a more grind-y noise like a motorbike or propeller airplane that keeps going in and out

Maybe AI garbage? Just guessing. There is an easy fix: remove windows from your system. Also good for privacy

I’ve been a Linux enthusiast since 2010, I went all the way and started to daily drive it since 2013 after I got pissed at windows for destroying my dual booting setup for the umpteenth time, but it wasn’t a simple decision by any means.

I adore Linux and I love promoting it to people; but unlike you, I don’t try to force it down their throat with asinine comments like these. Give pertinent advice or GTFO. Do you expect people to uproot their OS/environment and everything they’re used to based on your casual comment or what?

Stop making people oppose Linux on principle and stop making more Linux haters with obnoxious comments like these.

Did i write install Linux?

While I am a Linux user, this was a joke. Windows does random Windows stuff. Windows AI features cause GPU usage. The processes responsible, according to OP are Windows core services. So, what other fix is there to avoid this besides removing windows?

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Then you forgot the /s

So, what other fix is there to avoid this besides removing windows?

Editing the registry, using a debloater, I can think of a few things. Even downgrading/reinstalling Windows could be an option.

Your blanket “remove windows” solution is just trolling at this point

I am fine with that. I personally just don't see the point of fiddling with your os every time the vendor fucks up. I would just live with it or ditch it completely.

And yes, ans /s would have helped

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I can use your "fiddling with your os" as an argument against Linux too. Driver changes, software updates, software in general can cause ANY OS to require fiddling with to get back to operational.

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

EXACTLY! If i would experience such issues on my daily drivers i would reconsdier my choices. Thw question is, this it bother one enough to change things.

And: i didn't need to fiddle anything on my Systems to get them (bsck) to running in the last 10 years. That may not always be the case, especially on Laptops. Now we start fiddling to keep Windows running on slightly oder Hardware. So as always, it depends
