The delivery guy?

I gave away my G2 to my nephew a while ago. I commandeered it back because of the Oasis driver but it's at my mom's house now and I'll likely get it somewhere in January.

I'm not saying he did anything wrong, it was just that I didn't know what to do in this situation. It felt a little awkward to stand there, but it would also be awkward to shut the door. So I just waited for him to be done with the cat and leave.

Damn. Well as someone from the country of Europe I can say I have no desire to go to the States any time soon.

This is again so contradictory. North America hosts the FIFA world cup, a sport that originated in Europe and is still by far the most popular there. I assume the reason to organize this is money and to push that peace price propaganda bullshit (did anyone really fall for that?) and then you make it more difficult for Europeans to attend this event?

It just feels like they've completely lost it.

I literally just opened the door for a package delivery and the delivery guy only had eyes for the neighbor's cat, asked me if it was mine, handed me my package and then just kept petting the cat and talking to it. I just stood there like, oh yeah sure you just pet that cat and I'll stand here and watch it.

I'm a cat person, I have three of them myself, but this was a bit odd after a while.

But yeah points for the delivery guy for having eyes for the cat.

Ik vind het niet lekker spelen op de switch. Ik heb er inmiddels ook bijna 2000 uur in zitten dus dan bouw je wel wat balgevoel op

I played the ultimate edition a while ago and I was very impressed. One of the best games I've played in a while.

Zoals ieder jaar denk ik Rocket League, is toch het spel dat ik er zo even bij pak als ik een half uurtje heb. Arc Raiders komt nu aardig in de buurt voor wat betreft dit jaar, ook Borderlands 4 en Battlefield 6 komen nog langs.

'Big' is relative. It's a house in between two left and one right in a block of four. It's big enough for two people, but it's not huge.

I'm not sure I understand the function of the buffer mentioned. Is it a heated buffer that can pump around hot water without having to expend gas to heat? How does that differ from the expansion vat I have? Is that just to soak up excess pressure?

Sorry about all the questions, I'm just not sure about all of this stuff.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

English is not my first language and although I can kinda get my point across, technical jargon is a bit of a blind spot. So just to clarify: I have a little vat of say 10 liters connected to the heating pipes. It's next to the boiler. It contains a rubber membrane in the middle to expand if pressure builds. Is this the type of buffer you're referring to?

It's fully possible your GPU is broken. If what you say about temperatures is correct, it's not the fans or the pads. Overheating GPU will usually just throttle until it's cooler again.

If you tried reseating and it's not a dust issue, nor did you reseat it incorrectly again and it's not a driver issue, you should try to find out if your GPU is the component at fault here. Try removing your GPU and run a benchmark on the iGPU if available, otherwise you might need a different GPU for testing. If that all goes fine, you know your GPU is at fault.

Other things that can be broken:

  • the PSU
  • The PSU connector cable
  • the motherboard
  • RAM (disable XMP?)
  • BIOS settings (power saving, resizable BAR)
  • and of course your storage for which you can try CrystalDisk or similar to detect errors.

Assuming you're on Windows you can also check the Event Viewer logs to find out why stuff crashes.

 

TL;DR: How do I make the thermostat send a 'heat' request to the boiler without making the boiler use way too much gas?

Hi all,

I have a question about automating central heating. My current setup:

Ground floor:

  • Main thermostat linked to boiler (Honeywell T6 on WiFi through Honeywell integration)
  • One radiator with Sonoff TRV-ZB, zigbee
  • Three radiators with non-smart knobs that are usually open
  • The main room has a Sonoff Presence sensor

First floor:

  • Three rooms that can be occupied with Sonoff TRV-ZBs.
  • Two of three rooms have Sonoff Presence sensors

All rooms that can be heated smartly are controlled through a blueprint once shared here called 'Advanced heating control V5'.

I have a helper called 'Comfort Temp' which is a slider that controls the setpoint on the main thermostat and the TRV of an occupied room.

So the obvious question is: is there any good way to get the main thermostat to send a heating request to the boiler?

I've seen something about a WiFi module that you can put in between the main thermostat and the boiler that offers more control (Nodo OpenTherm Gateway, OTGW). Does anyone have experience with this? Or do I solve this with more TRVs on my ground floor? I've heard about central heating systems not enjoying a fully thermostatic valved circuit. More TRVs also means I have to replace the valves on a couple of radiators.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

What's going on everyone? I just felt like sharing something that I find worth sharing.

I suffer pretty badly from eczema and I've been trying to deal with it for pretty much all my life. Ever since I started Dupilumab (it's a biological injection that tells my body to create a missing enzyme), it's been a lot quieter, except for... the face.

My dad taught me how to shave with a simple Gilette razor casette system, so that's what I have been using since I was around 16. I am now 32, and I have been using Boldking's razor system and that worked best for me. It was just a lot of work and kind of tedious. Plus it would give me a lot of inconsistent results. I would, however, deal with redness and spots in the face. I have also tried an electrical razor but that only seems to make the redness worse.

So last week I decided to give a safety razor a try, I ordered one and it arrived today. Had my shave just now and it just feels so much nicer.

I was still using foam from a can (also from Boldking since they don't use parabens), but I'm looking to upgrade to a better foam, with a brush.

So bottom line: one shave in and I'm sold. I am excited to experience the journey!

Hey all,

I kind of recall playing this game where you are a community of organic beings (I kinda recall them being four legged and the design was very block-y), they build 'hives' (I remember this term as a certainty) as their bases/barracks. I think the idea is that these beings do some exploring around the planet.

Sorry I don't have any more to go on, I was about 10 when I played this in the early zeroes.

Anyone have a clue?

 
 

Look at it

 

Hey welcome to my ramble of the day.

Lately I've been very aware of how every day I accomplish a little less and have more trouble getting through an evening without drinking.

Christmas is coming up and I'm spending it in Switzerland with my brother-in-law. All good, you'd say. Except both me and my wife are running on fumes. We are both super tired. We've discussed skipping it but we cannot do this to my mother-in-law. She doesn't often get both her kids together and she's had a rough year.

In any event, looking at my progress over the past few weeks I feel like I'm doing a little worse every day and just that realization is making me kind of depressed.

So before I get all kinds of recommendations, here's my current game plan:

  • I've registered with a psychologist (not in the USA so insurance is not an issue)
  • My employer knows of evening and they are very supportive. I haven't been working since beginning of September)
  • I intend to take it very easy in Switzerland and try to relax around the other days of Christmas as well. Beginning of January will be super chill for me.

Thanks for bearing with me. I really hope to improve in the next year.

 

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to read. I've been feeling bad for some time now and figured now is a good a time as any to share.

I am having a pretty serious issue with activating myself lately. I've been sidelined from work since the beginning of September. In this time I've been speaking to several healthcare professionals and colleagues. I'm currently in the process of finding a therapist.

I've recently drawn the conclusion that I do not sometimes have bad days, I'm pretty much down every day but I have moments that I'm fine. The fine moments are getting more scarce though...

Today I am writing to you because my mind does not know what it wants. I can't decide if I wanna call my friends and have a beer or if I want to curl up on my bed and cry.

Anyway, that was what I wanted to share. Thanks for reading.

Hey all, I've narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69)

Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening.

I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music.

I've read a lot of reviews and I can't really decide on the soundstage. For this I've chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2's now and I've been very pleased with them.

As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don't mind having to pause every now and then.

Any other recommendations welcome.

But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.

Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

Thoughts?
