I have a pc that i was using normally then i sent it to a friend in another city , when he gets it he told me that that fans are spinning but there is no display, things stayed like this for months then i told him to sell the gpu and send me back the pc , now when i get it it doesn't even power up nothing spin or light up , i know i have a cpu socket bent pin in the left bottom side (idk if it affects the power up)
Note:
- Pc was in covered in dust
- psu is working (paperclip test)
- i tried everything troubleshoot ik (power sw pins , remove everything and make sure it plugged ok)
- i jumped start the psu when it was connected to the motherboard but it just spin the fans (no display and cpu is cool )and when i remove my hand the pc shut off again
- the fans have an external controller
- ive removed the cpu and everything just to see if the mobo can turn or anything , but it didnt
Motherboard is biostar z490gta

I’ve had my commuter bag for nearly 2 years and love it.
My partner has been bugging me for nearly as long after seeing Linus using it in green in videos for one.
Her new bag now delivered 👌

Absolutely brutal - this is easily hundreds, possibly 1000s of hours of work lost 🤦‍♂️

350Gs!

So I got this Via firewire card from amazon that said it was plug and play with windows but ive been having issues when I try to plug my iPod into it. It shows up as a removable device but whenever I click it it just freezes file explorer and the iPod and it only starts working when I unplug the iPod. I tried using legacy windows 7 drivers but that didn’t work. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi everyone!

Inspired by https://github.com/LewdM3at/PC-Cartridge-System

I wanted to create a better user experience for launching cartridges on pc. I made a gamepak wizard that writes whatever you want onto a drive, floppy, NFC, action, whatever. There is a tiny watcher that launches a simple game launcher when the drive is read it looks for a cartridge.conf whether to launch or not. I've added a memory card system as well (copies save folder onto drive). It's cross-platform and I've made test plugins for various popular frontends. https://github.com/HarryBMa/pc-gamepak-plugins

I just wanted to share if anyone was interested.

Obligatory AI disclosure: i refuse to learn git and use Claude code to push and manage my disgusting worktree. I don't have time to write a comprehensive commit text that makes sense (see this unhinged post) and I let copilot write messages and docs for stuff I don't want to do. I barely have time with work and coding projects, I don't have time to remember what I worked on last night.

Google Pixel 1st Gen has unlimited full quality photo/video uploaded from the device. I brought the phone years ago with the purpose to upload photos/videos to my account.

The concept I have is tear down the phone, remove the battery, solider an ac charger to the phone, either use the screen or get a get a bigger screen to access the phone, and diy a custom enclosure.

The Photo attached is a reference of what I want it to look like after I'm doing it.

Resources I've found of other doing something similar to their Pixel 1.

English is not my first language, so sometimes I pick up words from videos I watch and I don't know why the word " cromulent " stuck with me, I found it kinda funny because of Linus use it sometimes when talking about product. So I went and check the equivalent in my language and I found out the word was actually created by one of the Simpsons writer David Cohen for the episode Lisa the Iconoclast in 1996.

This randomly happend on my yt page the two channels are completely different (although they did meet up with each other once)

In my region theres an ongoing sale

Should i buy RTX3070TI(380USD) or RTX5060TI(410USD)?

No, theres no AMD card on sale, most of them are sold out or around 600USD right now

Information:

Monitor 1: LG OLED 27GX704A-B

Monitor 2: LG IPS 27GP850-B

Software: Aseprite (pixel artwork software) (Grid lines are OFF)

Game: Minecraft (texture is exported to Minecraft which I can see the line in game)

Texture Size: 16x16

Issue:

In the imaged attached you can see a light blue line in between the right yellow pixel edge and white pixel (way more noticeable in-person). When I rotate the pixel art 90 degrees the line moves to the top edge of the yellow pixel (location based on the image provided) and the line becomes red. This is a issue that has to do with the OLED monitor as my IPS panel does not show this and especially not in game where its VERY obvious/distracting.

What I tried:

- Swapping display cables Included DP -> Included HDMI -> Different DP-> Different HDMI
- Different Display Port on GPU and monitor
- Powered off and on
- Changing nearby pixels
- Changing the yellow pixel

Questions:

- What should I do?
- Is there something I should turn on in monitor settings or try?
- Is there anything I can do or this just a known OLED issue (with OLEDs or this Model)?
- Is there a fix? If so what is it?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I genuinely want to find a conclusion to this as It is a eye sore to look at.

One of the things I have always liked about WAN show is the intensity of the stress testing that is discussed, even on consumer hardware. For the last month, Gemini has been forced onto my phone. It presented a unique set of issues that I was unable to solve. Google customer service was unhelpful, as was their documentation, and their AI agent itself. Until today, when listening to WAN, Linus mentioned that for those who daily drive a Google workspace account, certain aspects of Gemini do not work on android. I am also in the unique circumstance as a business owner. Sure enough, Gemini is unable to make phone calls, send messages, and a variety of other tasks. If you are on a Google workspace account, you can add calendar events, and send emails.

Having been a developer on both android and iOS for ages, I was well aware of the pros and cons of each. Google finally broke the camels back, and now my work and personal numbers are both on iOS, with AirMessage allowing me to text from my workto PC. For somebody who is constantly on the move, or on the road, a functioning, voice assistant is necessary, and Siri has solved every issue that I had.

I am thankful that their company continues to push consumer Hardware to the limits in every possible use case, and I am thankful for the tangent that they go on each week that are generally more helpful than any review or benchmark, including their own. This is not the first time that it has dramatically improved my tech life, and I hope it is not the last. I see people dunk on it way too often, so I wanted to add my positivity to the community for both the real people and the AI agents that will respond to me to enjoy.

I think that might overcome one of the last remaining hurdles that stops people from switching to Linux

My birthday is coming around and I have been eyeing the LTT screwdriver since the day of its release 5 years ago. I never pulled the trigger due to shipping costs and also the relatively high price for a screwdriver. However i finally thing now is the time, the current in store choices however are okay (The transparent one does look awesome) but i would rather have a less common more unique. And because it's a birthday present for myself i would rather be suprised.

I am therefore wondering what are the potential colors i could get? From getting the basic color way to the noctua one or even some kind of special edition, maybe a random mix of colors? What are the possibilities?

This such a big topic with sooooooo much stuff and equipment and user tools - and ltt never ever did something about it?

I can't believe no one at LTT is into flight sim?

Let's forget the military part, MS Flight Sim 2024 is a huge game with so many add-ons and tools that you could literally spend a whole week covering all the topics in several videos.

Here are my topics which should be interesting :)

Gear: sooo much stuff. There is even some force feedback setups like VPC ATLAS, which is quite expensive, joysticks, throttles, pedals, TrackIR/Head Tracking, VR

Tools: AirManager & GlassOut - building you own Cockpit, you can use touch screen to control the game.

SPAD neXt - can for example bound every singe key inside the Cockpit and you can even make scripts. MS Flight Sim has great debug view to see what happens if you press a button

Flight Routes: Software like Navigraph & Simbrief allows you to create a real life route and fly it with all the real life charts and rules

Communities: Vatsim, real people are planning and controlling air traffic like real traffic

Game Add-ons: There are sooo many great addons you can buy, new planes, where devs are trying to simulate as much as possible, with all the different equipment navigations, physics, simulated failure.

I was thinking about how many old PC parts people probably have lying around at home because throwing them away feels like a waste.

You know the kind of stuff. Something you replaced years ago and will probably never use again, but you keep it anyway because maybe it'll come in handy someday.

I can understand keeping spare parts for troubleshooting, but I wonder how often people actually end up using the stuff they have been holding onto for years.

Has anyone here ever kept an old component for ages and then been really glad they didn't throw it away? Or do most of us just end up collecting electronic junk that we swear will be useful eventually?
