My cable management has gotten marginally better. Just enough that my CRT monitor doesn't have any distortions on it lmao Jul 12, 2025

      The EU is leaving Windows for Linux. I'm so happy for you guys! I hope you enjoy machines that just work and not having to deal if spying, licensing fees, and worrying about awful Microsoft Support! So happy for you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️

      Out of curiosity, I turned on anti-aliasing when playing Minecraft on my CRT monitor, and it looks too smooth: very unnatural. I prefer it with anti-aliasing off. The jagged edges do not look anywhere as bad as they do on my LCD panel.

      I've been doing some ancient city spelunking. New items I see, disc fragments, trims, and echo shards. No idea what they are or how valuable they are, but I've been collecting them as I go along.

      I gave my friend my RTX 3080. I no longer need it anymore, and it'll be a major upgrade for him from his 1660.

        That’s cool! The 3080 was built to run in a 4th gen lane, but it shouldn’t noticeably hurt anything assuming they’re running it in a 3rd gen lane. Unless they expect every ounce of speed of course, it will be a great upgrade. It may also be worth mentioning to check that the power supply is still sufficient for the setup after the upgrade.

        Instabilities caused by shallow power can also be a contributing factor for overheating, slowdowns, crashes, unexpected shutdowns, and worst of all - hardware damage.

      If anyone sees caves that have an obscene amount of torches, sorry, that was me. Minecraft caves are pitch-black on my CRT, even with brightness set to 100%, unlike an LCD panel. Truly the hardest difficulty one could even fathom for Minecraft. Spooky.

        I tend to double down in the deepslate layer but only do as much as I need to in the stone layer. I can see the stone layer fine as long as there's any light, but deepslate is a much darker rock, straining my eyes.

        Thanks DreamyFeather, just took time away to focus on my personal life and other matters. I appreciate your kind words. I might pop back on the EMC Discord, just for people to keep in touch if they wish!

      RTX 5090 issues, 12-pin cables reaching over 100°C? Yeah Nvidia, that's what we call a major issue, due to negligence. Please fix this before something more serious happens.

        My solution? Go integrated. (Or replace it because the fans are NOT doing their job)

      Sparkle Intel ARC A750 8GB model is more expensive than the Intel ARC A770 16GB model on Amazon? What? Shouldn't it be the other way around...?

        Ah, I guess this was referring to the shots in the Switch 2 first-look trailer.

        I am still an Ubuntu fan. Mostly because I have all my systems setup and wouldn't want to change them all.

      Just a reminder, Windows 10 is unsupported after October 25th! --- A sad day indeed.

        By Microsoft themselves, you will receive no more security updates after Windows 10 dies. Alternatively, you could pay for an extension to your Windows 10 license, though it comes at a cost. The number doubles each year, up to year 3, before Windows 10 is entirely unsupported for those who paid for a license extension.

        I don't use Windows, but when you go to your control panel, I think(?), it should either say if you can install Windows 11 or not. If not, then you can attempt to upgrade, for free, using the Windows 11 upgrade tool from Microsoft.

        Alternatively, you could buy Windows 10 LTSC, which is supported my Microsoft until 2032. My friend did that, though the upfront cost is expensive!

      AMD and Nvidia are mass-producing GPUs before the tariffs go into place. Smart thinking! 😎️
