im literally losing my mind here quick sanity check before i start reinstalling things. In an open world game Ive been playing, the FPS counter sits comfortably high, yet the experience is full of micro hitches: short…
ok so i did everything teh optimization guides recommended, including a redesgin. The result: LCP is worse than before, and teh report points at the main headline. It feels like teh optimization made things slower. Is that possible? Id like to keep teh…
ugh. i upgraded to a DDR4 3600 kit, enabled XMP in the BIOS, and since then Ive been getting this every day or two: MEMORY MANAGEMENT.. xD sometimes its Visual Studio that just closes instead... with XMP off everything is stable but slower, is teh RAM…
Building a workstation that mostly does code compiles, some video encoding, and lots of idle time. Noise is my main concern. The CPU is a 12 core part that can run warm under all core loads. I keep going back and forth…

not gonna lie this is driving me nuts my DualSense is about only six weeks old and now the cursor never stops moving. i made a quick test screen to check, and this is what the left stick does when Im not even touching it: It's not huge, but in shooters it's…

im literally losing my mind here not a complaint, just an idea... adding better search filters would help me alot because i read here late at night... if enough people agree, maybe it can happen... add your own ideas and upvote the ones you like! i'll keep a…
so annoyed rn after waking from sleep, my mini PC connects to Wi Fi but shows this: No internet, secured. My phone and TV on the same network are fine... i restarted the router and the mini PC. Nothing. Im writing this on my phone. Any ideas? Ive already…
Our homepage LCP regressed and stakeholders are asking why: the only notable change is switching to a new CDN. mobile is much worse than desktop. a product photo is reported as the LCP element 🔥 what tools and steps do you use to break LCP down into its…
so annoyed rn our monitoring alerted that / is at 95% on a production VM. I freed some space by clearing the package cache, but its creeping back up. how do you methodically figure out what's growing? and are there…
so annoyed rn i put my Windows handheld to sleep by tapping the power button, and when I picked it up later it showed this: It lost 20% overnight. That makes it hard to rely on as a grab and go device. Is this normal for handhelds, or is something keeping it…

ok weird one every hosting comparison i find is either an affiliate list or someone's ten year old opinion. So i'm asking real people: is managed WordPress hosting a reasonable choice for a hobby forum? What breaks first, what costs more than expected, and…
hmmmm ok new member here. Im a university student. Everyone told me this forum is friendly to beginners, so here goes. After forty hours, a survival crafting game decided to crash every half hour. Outside of games Im into music and cooking, and Im happy to…

From experience: Im putting together a mid range gaming build: an 8 core desktop CPU, a single graphics card in teh upper mid tier, two NVMe drives, a handful of fans. The online calculators Ive tried land somewhere…
Okay, this is driving me nuts. Black screen, fans ramp up, and about five seconds later Windows comes back like nothing happened. Then this pops up: It's always while alt tabbing out of a fullscreen game. My small form factor PC is not overclocked and temps…
im literally losing my mind here this is unbelievable. a tactical shooter blue screens my PC while queueing: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL every time. i updated GPU drivers and reinstalled teh game. Everything else is stable. Whats the next step? Other games,…
real story: I installed Fedora for a gamer six months ago. most things just work. the one ongoing headache is fingerprint readers. I'm curious whether others have had the same experience, and whether we're honest enough about the rough parts when we…
im literally losing my mind here unpopular opinion maybe: monitors are the most underrated part of a PC. I'm finally upgrading for coding all day. Options are a 4K 60Hz or two cheaper 1080p screens 😤 My desk is not huge and my GPU is mid range. Tell me what…
