  • Maybe an electrode with a lot of age on it was nearly burned up and one more flip on managed to blast a little clean spot on it.

    Maybe you had a short in your ballast that got hot enough to change material properties a little and not become a short anymore.

    Maybe your ballast was loose and had an open line and it just managed to wiggle enough to work again.

    Maybe your ballast is partially shorted and ineffective at certain voltages and your temperature in the room is now cold enough to work with a lower potential ballast.

    Maybe you had a shorted cap that leaked and then burned itself the rest of the way out and is now open.





  • Is it ready for primetime supporting everybody’s random hardware and everyone’s software without crashes, stutters and slow downs or be free of the requirement for weird configuration tweaks?

    Probably not.

    Can it work perfectly well with a lot of hardware and a lot of situations for a lot of games Yes.

    Is it ready for primetime on a steam deck? Yes.

    Last OS change I threw bookworm on a random laptop asked it to install steam, enabled proton for my games and everything just worked. But that doesn’t mean it will work for everyone and for every game.

    Mixing ram is one of those no-nos that a lot of us do anyway. Ideally everything just slows down to the slowest piece of RAM and everything runs fine. And you wouldn’t think that the board would care if you have 16s in one side and eights and the other. But if you’re having problems with your stability that’s absolutely the first place to look. Even if all the RAM is perfectly matched, from a stability standpoint it’s better to run two sticks than four. I’d pull it back to 16 and see if it stops crashing. If it stops doing that so all your RAM and get two 16gb sticks.




  • Before WOKE, they used weird as a term to describe LGBT*, emo and anything else they saw as against their values.

    They just looked at other people not like them and said, they’re weird right, and they would all agree.

    Well now we’re calling them weird and backing it up by calling out specific actions they know are wrong. Now they’re saying no, no we’re not weird at the same time internally going are we weird? They’re questioning their values just a little. It won’t stick long term or make changes. But they don’t have introspection very often.







  • I’ll take racism, sexism, propaganda and capitalism for 500 Alex.

    They’ve got pretty firm control of the business sectors through tax cut agenda. They’ve got pretty firm control of the farmers for the same. Through fear and propaganda they’ve got pretty strong control of the poor and some of the educated middle class in the rural areas. A lot of the red states are doing everything they can to impede their education systems. If you keep people from becoming educated there’s less competition at the top and a lot more red voters.

    All you’ve got to fight them are the poor and the middle class in the cities and suburbs and the occasional upper class that isn’t so self-serving that they’re willing to stand on everyone else.
