What is the worst experience you've had reading a book? by v0rld in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It's not just that characters make stupid decisions, the same characters keep making the same mistakes and nobody ever learns from those mistakes or grows as a character. It's so extremely frustrating.

There are like 20 different calculator apps on F-Droid, ranging from basic to scientific. There's plenty of instances where the dystopia screws you, calculators ain't one of them.

The point is that an email address that is not in use except once to create that epic account is worthless to whoever buys it.

Well if they can turn fakeaccount53643@yahoo.com into money they honestly deserve the 50 cent they're getting for it.

How did you get started in the industry and would you recommend it as a job?

I didn't find such a setting but the fans are definitely running at more than 0 RPM once there is any GPU utilisation. But I'll check out the CPU game mode.

The Windows install is only a couple of months old.

Everything was on default. I'll lower the values and see if that helps. Thanks!

Occasional crashes in games (lemmy.world)

I got a used PC from a friend, it works perfectly fine most of the time. But some games crash unregularly but reproducibly. When a crash occurs sometimes my screen just goes blank, other times I get a popup from the AMD driver saying "AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occured on your system."

Here are the specs:
Graphics: MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT (driver version: 23.12.1, but I also tried several earlier versions)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core
Mainboard: Asus Prime X570-P
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX, 2x8GB
OS: Win10

Some games crash more than others, for example:
GrimDawn crashes after a few minutes. TitanQuest runs for at least an hour.
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous (and Kingmaker) crashes after a few hours.
Turbo Overkill crashed once (9 hours playtime so far).
Neverwinter Nights 2 crashes almost immediatly if it isn't the first game I play after a reboot.
Stellaris minimizes and I get the usual driver popup but continues to run fine afterwards (solid coding I guess).
A lot of other games sometimes crash. But there are a also games that never crashed for me including: Deep Rock Galactic, Factorio, Redout and Tyranny.
Older games tend to crash less than newer games, other than that I didn't really find a pattern in what games crash and which games run fine.

My friend says he never noticed any crashed, and given how some games are fine and how long even affected games can run before crashing I believe him.

I suspect the graphics card has some kind of fault, but is there any way I can verify that before I get a replacement? I already tried several GPU benchmarks, all ran through without a crash.

Can't speak for BruceTwarzen, but I'm from a fairly large city in Germany and I don't personally know any religious people. Side rant: Which makes the various privileges the catholic church gets all the more puzzling and annoying to me.

Does C# (or any other languages) have an official style guide like python has pep8? by v0rld in c/programming@programming.dev

Is JavaScript a serious language? /s

Joking aside: One of Brendan Eich's books probably contains something resembling a style guide.

Since you specifically mentioned C# : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/coding-conventions

I'd be surprised if there is a serious language that doesn't come with at least some semi-official style guide. But usually they are not universally followed and everybody just does their own thing.

You're not gonna like this but, some unique tech that makes a game look 5% better isn't making the experience better than access to mods, or being able to play 30 years old games on the same machine as a new game, or being able to play on mouse+keyboard. Especially considering games that "exploit the PS5 capabilities" tend to be formulaic AAA games featuring gameplay mechanics that got boring 2 decades ago.
