Nitter etc are locked out as far as I know. That was likely a huge load on the site.

Edgy comments without any substance sure do make it seem that way.

The issue is usually with the graphics card itself in my experience.

This is easily "fixed" on a DVI port by plugging a resistor of the correct value into two of the tiny pin sockets. The diagram is very easy to find online and you don't have to open the computer. That's become a thing of the past as far as I know.


NVIDIA GPUs still require "dummy" HDMI plugs. They won't be fully usable without something plugged in; it's not clear why.

This always seemed to be a very deliberate design choice by them to avoid you being able to use their consumer cards headless versus paying them a large amount on the Quadro or DG cards, since the big problem we saw at $OLDJOB was always that you couldn't use CUDA on them headless.

At said $OLDJOB, we ended up soldering dummy VGA plugs that had resistors across the right pins when we wanted to experiment with building a low-power cluster of NVIDIA Ion boards and seeing how it competed with big cards. Ah, memories.


Would bet that this is exactly why. I run Tesla GPUs in my server rack which don't even have display ports, but they run any OS just fine with the vGPU drivers, which Nvidia make an absolute pain to obtain.

The _very_ first gen of Tesla cards did have those headers on them, IIRC, and then successive ones had the headers on the board but not connected for another generation or so, IIRC.

You also used to be able to edit the PCI IDs for the drivers to get the Tesla ones to attach to consumer GPUs, but that stopped working at some point.



It's a manager for the device's extra features, and pairing of dongles since that's not handled by the OS. It replaces a few of the typical Logitech applications that normally do this.


Agree. It's rare to find a failed Logitech mouse.


It is actually quite common for some mice because logitech uses the wrong switches for a 3.3v logic level mouse.


I have a drawer full of failed Logitech mice (about 10).

They're mostly M100(?) mice from the MK120 combos. They basically all start doubleclicking eventually.

They're not all from my personal computer though, probably from about 8 different PCs.


The TV I bought 2 years ago and never connected it to the Internet. Not even for setup. Zero issues.


My LG does none of this.

It's also never been connected to the internet, and my router also has a static IP reservation to give the TV an IP that is not on my subnet in case someone in my house ever tries to connect it to the internet.


What a weird generalization. I've had no issues receiving email from plenty of other domains.

On the flip side, it only took me a few days to fix my friend's business domain so they could send emails to Gmail users.


It doesn't play any kind of greeter. Seems to be an online database of spam numbers, I receive calls marked as Spam with a big red exclamation mark. it's not as simple as blocking any calls that aren't already contacts. I could never use that professionally.


I'm talking about "automated call screening feature"

> Call Assist answers the call and asks who's calling and why


Works fine on Kiwi Browser on Android, although I'm using a fairly powerful ASUS phone.


I also tried it on Kiwi, using an s21 FE which is a few years old but not exactly a slouch and it crashed after about 10 seconds, same as Chrome.
