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.

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...

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

that's disappointing. I didn't know about that.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 5 days ago

i would watch that lol

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 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

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.

What's the equivalent of "it's never lupus"?

It's never DNS, until you don't check that first.

"It's never lutris"

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

It's never solvable with

sfc /scannow

"Windows troubleshooting tool will never fix it"

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

It's never a .NET compatibility issue

I love this comment section

Last time it was the drivers for me was Rage. That was some bullshit...

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

It needs more mouse bytes to run.

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.

I had this same fucking situation recently in an issue on GitHub.

It wasn't the drivers.
