This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
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...
that's disappointing. I didn't know about that.
i would watch that lol
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
Last time it was the drivers for me was Rage. That was some bullshit...
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.
Have you checked your speakers? Mine make a weird noise but it's because of interference from the cable and the motherboard I think, so I just bend the cable slightly until it stops making the noise.
I thought it was that, but I heard it through my USB headset too.
Just use arch.
I have no reason to believe the problem will go away if I use arch. I am not going to reinstall an entirely different operating system that the one I'm using just because every now and then my PC makes some funky noises with the hopes that maybe it will fix it. That's crazy.
The rant.
"Delete and re-download the entire game, but use a 56k modem."
"My God house, the game launched fine! But how did the 56k modem have any effect?"
"It didn't, the reinstall would have worked either way, I just wanted to waste your time as punishment for being stupid."
It's an irq conflict and the lan cable isn't terminated.
wat is an Ian cable
I don't know, it's Ians' cable, why not ask him?
why does lan always hog the cables ;-;
Any cable that gives a network connection. So many different ones now I'm actually on board with LAN cable unless you need to be specific lol
(joke was "an ian cable")
Nope, joke was it was coax cable on a bus network with BNC connectors. Embrace packet collisions, you coward.
What about port blocking by the ISP? It could be a networking condition!
Which would be useful if telnet didn’t tell us the port is open.
it could be a bad RAM chip. we should start Prime95, check for ECC faults..
Check the NAT!
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 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 a .NET compatibility issue
"Windows troubleshooting tool will never fix it"
