    The Nintendo Switch 2 Thread

    Was on fb, but I think this is it. IGN has a story up too. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/pokemon/just-all-gone-pokemon-player-loses-20-years-worth-of-data-when-transferring-scarlet-save-file-to-switch-2-and-theyre-apparently-not-the-only-one/

    Arc B580 309.00

    It's a good card. Haven't played any AAA games, but it plays Saints Row: GooH smoothly (very low fps sometimes, but usually can't tell. May be a compat issue, running Linux). Best thing is it's quiet, and pretty low power, which is perfect for my hotbox chimney case. lol

    Steam is finally adding native support for Macs with Apple Silicon

    Wouldn't really suprise me. I mean there may be more games than that on Steam which work on Apple hardware, but the OSX version may not be on Steam yet, among other reasons that list might be missing some games.

    Older hardware is kicking my ass......

    Yeah you won't see that if you are installing in mbr/bios mode. You need to install in efi mode to see an efi boot entry. If bios compatibility mode is working right that shouldn't be an issue, but clearly something isn't working right.

    POE Switch Problem, Turning off with another switch connected?

    Servethehome says the gigaplus has about 130W budget for it's 8 ports. That's about 32W each if you use only 4 ports, but keep in mind long eth runs and damaged/low quality cables can increase the effective demand on the ports. And if you are chaining PoE switches, that will put a heavy load on...

    Bad Phones Cases?

    Probably just need a new prescription for your glasses, and give your eyes a rest every now and then, and drink lots of water/electrolytes. Astigmatism and other eye conditions, dehydration, and abnormal blood pressure/blood sugar can all cause eye strain and fuzzy/blurred vision. Take care of...

    anyone happy w/ the noise level of a 25mm USB cooling fan?

    A 25mm fan could easily go 3500 rpm on 5v, 12v fans go as high as 10000 rpm at that size. Edit: DigiKey actually lists some 5v fans that go +12000 rpm. Anyway, noise might be an issue if it's on a shelf or on the desk. If it's behind a TV or something which also makes noise, it may not be as...

    Google Chrome’s Plan To Limit Ad Blocking Extensions Kicks Off Next Week

    Yeah, I'd gladly use lynx/elinks or similar browsers if websites worked with them. They support media elements fine, but there's so much javashit that most other functionality is broken. I can appreciate the cool stuff that javascript allows, but I just wish it wasn't used for core website...

    Is a stock $30-$50 cooler enough to keep a stock 7800x3D cool during gaming?

    Fwiw, those appear to be "copper nickel plated" (iow, plated with a copper colored nickel, or maybe nickel-copper alloy coating). The base might be solid copper, but the wording makes it seem like the pipes, fins, and caps are not. Not to say that it isn't a good heatsink and very good looking...

    Is a stock $30-$50 cooler enough to keep a stock 7800x3D cool during gaming?

    A bequiet Shadow Rock LP keeps my 8400F (basically same thing, but lower clock, two fewer cores and no 3d cache, 65W vs 120W) at around 50F under load with Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet. That's a 120mm top-down cooler. You might need twice the cooling since it has twice the TDP, if you wanted to...

    Killer Fridge Deal

    Probably either clogged with mold or iced. If ice, it could thaw occasionally, which might explain the sudden unexplained frozen fluid emerging rarely in normal grace (or, SUFFERING for short).

    Killer Fridge Deal

    Coming up on 2 years, my LG dual-inverter AC unit is still holding up. Just wish I didn't have to reset the filter every week or two without fail (quirk of the firmware/hardware, if it's on at all it counts toward runtime, and it has a non-adjustable filter reminder for 250 hrs).

    Pretty neat server cases too. That bracket will be $$$ of course, being silverstone and including a riser card.

    AMD EPYC 4005 Series Launches For Entry-Level Zen 5 Servers

    ARC Battlemage Owners' Experiences and Performance

    Installed Saint's Row: GooH to play around with. Runs really well in Linux via Wine/gamescope. Get about 200fps max, but it dips down to 28-30 when on the ground looking in the distance (shoots up to 200 if you look up or down). You almost can't tell, though, it's really smooth. Changing the...

    Colored Thumb Screws

    probably nickel plated pot metal, or anodized alu if you are lucky. Either way, very likely to lose color on the threads, and they do like to crossthread, so be careful especially the first time using them -- the painted case threads don't help. And don't over tighten, as they are two bitches to...

    memtest86+ freezes after 1 second and never recovers (Dell Optiplex, 6th gen Intel)

    Could be, not sure if there is any way to know for sure without debugging hardware or at least a serial console. All of that is pretty low-level hardware interaction, I know of it but not much about how to troubleshoot it.

    memtest86+ freezes after 1 second and never recovers (Dell Optiplex, 6th gen Intel)

    The compat bios might set up some hardware (network card, sensors, etc) which may write to system memory. It may not be using the hardware, but after it is initialized it does whatever it wants, and sometimes that includes memory writes (or interrupts, which can cause issues too). With compat...

    ddx is a variable, not an executable, so you'd reference it like $ddx, without the parentheses I think, but yeas something like that might work.

    bash script question

    You could redirect stderr to /dev/null to quiet errors from those commands, forget which is stderr though. Either "&> /dev/null" or "2> /dev/null" iirc. The variables I believe are local, unless they are set using some shell builtin, iirc. So they may need to be set if they were previously set...
