    well gnight y'all..

    less than 2 days till i get 4th place prize and gift it to my sister.. gotta outshine her in the gifting game.. =) plus i'm not into apple stuff. although i red you can hook up airpods to android no problems, but won't get full functionality.. i have samsung buds, only used them during time i was jogging outside, very comfy hooked up to the watch, listen to techno dj mixes to keep up the pace.. but since my ankle started hurting on one leg and knee on the other, i just do workouts in the room while watching random shit on prime.. currently BTW they have 1st season of Mayor of Kingstown for free and ad free. which i am watching now. Jeremy Renner is amazing in it. He like Jason Bateman in Ozark.. was so good..

    G'night!

    Yeah, if I did end up in 3rd/4th place, I would totally ask if I could be treated like an international customer and just get credit. Though there's no way I can catch up for that :lol: Good idea on using it for a gift to someone else!

    Oh, I believe regardless of whether you are international or non-intl, winners can always opt for RackNerd credits instead. So, you should be good there.

    Yeah, I figured they would do it. In a way, I don't really have a need for 2nd place but I would still get it over the credit just to play with it. Same with 1st place though parts of it would be an upgrade from my current gaming desktop.

    What's your current pc spec?

    my gaming desktop high level hardware specs is an i9-9900k, 2080 Super, 32G ram, and a mix of SSDs (nvme and sata). It's still good but could be better

    That's cool. How old is it BTW? I mean did you build it when 9th gen came out?

    I did build it when it was current. Well, I got the MB/CPU/Ram when it was current. I always upgrade my desktop in parts. Like I will re-use the stuff that I didn't upgrade. It originally didn't have a 2080 Super in it, that was upgraded after the fact. I did kind of want to upgrade the GPU but then the whole crypto thing was going on and figured it wasn't worth it since it's still good enough. Was totally thinking about upgrading the MB/CPU/RAM this coming summer but I think I'm going to just wait on that due to the current prices/etc.

    Current forecasts say it's gonna take atleast 1-2 years for the price to normalise. But, I guess, it's anyone's guess.
    Not sure if it's doable in the US very easily or if you have the tools for it, but, many in china have been upgrading their 20 series cards to have double or more quantity of the ram. Extremely tough process though without a reball station and other tools.
    Iirc, 2080 was the preferred GPU for it.

    I've heard about those mods but I don't have those type of skills to do it myself. Do have a decent little soldering/hotair station but I can just do minor stuff. It's still good enough for most things, only feel it's age if I try doing like crazy graphic settings and resolutions. My last upgrade was to a dual 4k monitor setup. I do kind of miss having a triple monitor setup but dual 4k is nicer.

    Oh yah. The upgrade does require replacing the RAM chips and modifying another chip to accept the VRAM upgrade.
    As for monitors, I have always had a single monitor setup. Not sure if dual or more is a possibility without a dgpu at all, I mean one to display port and another to HDMI won't work, right?
    Will have to upgrade my monitor soon as well, cause mine has multiple vertical lines right now. Dunno if repair is an option anymore

    previously was hdmi and dp (due to card ports) but my current setup is both dp.
    Honestly, triple monitor was nice but I wouldn't really say it's needed like I do with dual monitor. IIRC, there was some business studies that were done and they came to the conclusion that dual monitors increase productivity a lot and well worth the price. Going triple or more didn't really increase productivity and the cost wasn't really worth it.

    Oh ok. I mean i was asking if plugging a monitor into display port and another to HDMI on the motherboard ports with an apu, not a discrete GPU could get me a dual monitor setup? I guess not

    Should be able to use both ports at the same time. I think it only get "fun" when you try integrated and discrete at the same time

    hehe, doggo is asleep by my feet dreaming. At least I think she is as she's twitching/pretending to run. I'm totally going to let her sleep for now but I will eventually have to wake her up for the "bedtime" potty. She would be fine until morning but then she will forsure wake me up early and I rather attempt to sleep in and a break tonight will give me more time in the morning :)

    Lol, the pretending to run always cracks me up!

    it's funny but I love when when they do the little woofs in their sleep, especially when they don't usually bark at all :lol:

    Anyone in here has RN ams location and cares to share a Yabs?

    I've had this since like 2022 or so, do have additional processes/daemons running on it (configured for a game server) but should be idle (or relatively idle). I'd guess a new VPS would end up getting created on a different node.

    Note: the node is stable/has proper uptime but I have a cronjob to update and reboot daily since it's only like 10 seconds to reboot & start everything. I configured it that way because I don't want to deal with manually updating the OS...

    Yeah, I adopted my current dog in 2021 and she has only barked like a dozen times, mostly towards halloween "scarecrow" type decorations. It's so rare that I forget she knows how to bark and what it sounds like. She's also only growled one time when we were hiking in the black hills and a bear came strolling by fairly close. Like, I totally don't mind her getting aggressive in that situation. Otherwise, she's super friendly and social, honestly, a little too social.

    @PuDLeZ said: Also, mess with the font sizes/etc. I was told when I was young to start with small text and slowly increase the font size until I can easily read the screen without straining at all, even go like one size larger than that as too small/big can cause issues.

    >
    I also received similar recommendations. But the volume of text and the duration of working with it are important here

    Yeah, I'm guilty of this as well. Especially on Sundays since it's my "house chore" day. I tend to do something or part of something, take a break, and then finish it or start something new. Almost ready to start the dish washer (need to let one pan soak a little as I don't think it will get clean otherwise), vacuuming, and then taking the trash out. Do have laundry but that's always a start/swap and wait thing.
