Anon goes to the doctor
  • I've stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.

    He gets really upset that I won't spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I'm not sure what.

  • Vultures
  • I mean, they could carry the food to their young, carry their young to the food, regurgitate like most birds, there really isn't another way to...

    ... it's poop, isn't it.

  • https://dearrow.ajay.app/

    DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

  • Android 15 might finally stop treating slow 7.5W chargers as fast
  • It's also possible to have voltage issues on a device with multi-cell batteries.

    My laptop charges on a type-C charger, but only if it can get 15+ volts. If it's a 12V charger, that isn't enough to push a charge into its battery. It will run on 12V but won't charge at all, even if it's off.

  • Question about upgrading GPUs
  • High temperatures at the CPU cores doesn't necessarily mean a cooling problem, unless it's actually getting to 90+ under load and throttling.

    Take the side off your case and point a desk fan in there, if that doesn't help then more case fans won't.

  • Question about upgrading GPUs
  • Different graphical settings also move the bottleneck around. With a powerful GPU you can use higher quality modes and higher texture resolution because they don't really affect the CPU.

    With your current system I'd absolutely do the GPU upgrade, and then later if you decide your CPU isn't powerful enough you can just get a new system with no GPU and move it over. No need to do everything at once, and that Ryzen 3600 still has some life left in it. The GPU really doesn't. 4GB VRAM means a lot of games will overflow into system RAM which has a big performance impact.

    Additionally, it looks like that board supports the Ryzen 5800X3D with a BIOS update so you might consider that instead of replacing everything. If you're running out of system RAM and have RAM slots free, adding RAM is also an option.

  • A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins
  • Because grabbing a random prefix from the pool is easier than remembering which prefix is assigned to which subscriber account and keeping it static through ISP network changes.

    My ISP does 'sticky' prefixes, which means they change when they move users between BNGs but otherwise don't.

We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.
