HP Elitedesk 800 G3 with i5 6500, 8gb dual channel , 256Gb SSD and 1 GB VRAM allocated to intel skylake integrated graphics. The result was disappointing, i got all-time low fps in TDM, stutters all time, my lowest fps was 7-8 fps and the highest i can get was 70 iirc. Thinkpad T480(yep i know business laptop isn't supposed to run games and i use it mainly for development purposes) with core i5 8250u , 8gb ram and 512GB SSD : minor improvement from above spec, probably around 5-6% Ryzen 3 3200G APU with 8GB dual channel 2666mhz DDR4 RAM, 1GB VRAM and 512 nvme SSD+ 512GB SATA SSD : able to hit above 60-80+ fps without much effort

how to disable tiny white dot that appears for a second on a center of the screen while picking/hovering over an object in TDM 2.11 ?

wow that's insanely long time, has it been running without reboot? My biggest fears in running PC for a long timeframe are PSU meltdown, CPU stock cooler going bad over time and blown capacitor... *Tangential, i have 18 years old Pentium D and 20 years old AMD Athlon XP PC that have not been powered up for a long time , I'm afraid it will explode when I turn it on

anyway what's your longest system uptime ? mine is roughly 32 days , running eve-ng virtual environment, hyper-v, and docker container for learing purposes i am too lazy to hit shutdown button to cool it down, i want it to be available at any time without having to wait to boot up, i am such a lazy ass

My core i5 6500 with SSD and dual channel 8gb RAM slapped on it barely hit above 80 fps on the dark mod(lowest setting, 768p resolution) , framerate is crazily high on loading screen, sometime it suffers dramatical fps drop on certain spot and freezes for a second and goes back to normal. I have tried playing with all non essential program shut down to minimize background process but to no avail. This applies not limited to the darkmod itself, strange lag spikes also occur when i play decade old games such as far cry 2, splinter cell double agent and SC: conviction, sleeping dogs, hitman absolution and Just cause 2 , all of which could be handled easily by modern intel integrated graphics. I know i have budget to upgrade but i am trying to push my pc to its limit. i borrowed my sister's pc yesterday and tried running latest dark mod on ryzen 3 3200g with 8gb ram and 1GB vram allocated to its IGP , the difference was night and day. Gonna purchase ryzen 5 5xxx with cheapest AMD/Nvidia GPU and this HP elitedesk 800 G3 would be repurposed as my next homelab

Oh darn my knowledge on GPU and processors still stuck in year 2015-2016 , The year when AMD unveiled its Radeon RX 460,470 and 480 and nvidia had just released geforce 10 series to public , i remember GPU and processor prices were still reasonable at that time and there were no chip shortage whatsoever , i was highly recommending ryzen processor to my friends. Nice to see this ongoing discussion meanwhile i need to ditch intel trash 6th gen&8th gen hd graphic, Early 2000s intel extreme graphic , core 2 duo's intel GMA , 82830/82845/82865g chipset left a bad taste in my mouth

as an undead and apparition enthusiast , i enjoy these musics gonna play japanese butoh dance next..

this video is informative and fullfill my curiosity, i used to be obsessed with mercury vapor , metal halide and old school High Pressure Sodium lamp. PL-S light bulb was all the rage 30 years ago

oh gosh this volano is situated near my hometown From bartok to george enescu to chabrier

Oh darn i am having nostalgia rush, thinking about my early home printers, HP Deskjet 630C and Samsung Ml-1710 , the printing was slow but reliable

i like the screeching sound of the dot-matrix printer screaming through a document printing, they have a bunch of epson LQ series here and those things rarely act up i had the chance to see fully-working 1980s dot matrix printer at my dad's office , connected to IBM 286 PC and pentium MMX PC

i came accross this post and i couldn't say how much i hate printer. That's why the phrase "printer hell" exist, i am dealing with printer hell on day to day basis at work,it stops working at random time and bugging you to reconfigure,reset,re-add printer to your client PC and power cycle it. Doesn't matter whether the printer is to be connected directly via IP connection(the one which has built-in web server functionality) or through windows printer sharing. I can't help but just suck it up HP is the worst , you should be aware with their recent practice : https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/customers-fume-as-hp-blocks-third-party-ink-from-more-of-its-printers/ i am still digging about type 3-type 4 printer driver and what effect it brings
