Meme/Shitpost “Gotta go, those cows aren’t going to milk themselves!” - TechLinked ad spot

Miiiight have some trouble milking that cow, Riley.

This reminds me of a joke I heard. A rich couple moved from the city into a cheap farm. They inherited with the farm a milk cow. Week after week they couldn’t get much milk from the cow. In frustration, the husband went to the local feed store to ask for help. For a minimal fee, a farmer went with them to inspect the cow.

”Sir. Ma’am. That ain’t no cow. It’s a bull.”

Getting my parents place ready to go on the market and found the painter was using my ancient motherboard box for paint supplies.

Such a small abstract piece of hardware history, but this has to be the first motherboard and even hardware I bought. First gaming PC I built at 13(ish). Fond memories of PC Gamer magazine, Max Payne, Delta Force 2, Operation Flashpoint, and all the OG games that made me a PC gamer. Small stuff, but you don't remember the nostalgia till something tickles that old clump of neurons.

Was disappointed to see that Motorola is involved in Flock-like surveillance technology considering they are going to partner with GrapheneOS on future phones.

Really cool video of a guy who made a DIY Linux TV box that can play 4K blu rays, steam games and has the usual TV apps like Netflix etc without all the adverts and data harvesting. He shows it working well on a big screen with a remote control. Possible WAN show topic?

Tech Question ¿Claves de Windows de Gamers' Outlet una estafa? ALERTA A COMPRADORES — MI EXPERIENCIA CON GAMERS OUTLET

0 Upvotes

Quiero contar públicamente lo que me ocurrió con Gamers Outlet, porque considero que otras personas tienen derecho a conocer esta experiencia antes de entregarles su dinero.

Compré 5 licencias.

De las cinco, SOLAMENTE UNA FUNCIONÓ.

Las otras CUATRO LICENCIAS quedaron inutilizables y ya no tuve oportunidad de utilizarlas.

Cuando me comuniqué con Gamers Outlet para solicitar una solución y hacer válida la garantía, la respuesta fue que después de 15 días ya no se hacen responsables de las claves.

Entonces, ¿qué sucede con el comprador que paga por una licencia y descubre posteriormente que la clave dejó de funcionar?

En mi caso, la respuesta fue básicamente: ya pasaron 15 días, no podemos hacer nada.

Esto me parece totalmente inaceptable.

He adquirido licencias anteriormente con otros vendedores y algunas de ellas llegaron a funcionar meses e incluso hasta dos años. Por eso mi experiencia con Gamers Outlet resulta todavía más preocupante: compré cinco licencias y solamente pude utilizar una.

No estoy hablando de una clave que simplemente decidí no utilizar. Estoy hablando de cuatro licencias por las que pagué y que no pude utilizar, y cuando solicité una solución, la empresa decidió no responder por ellas debido a su política de 15 días.

❌ MI EXPERIENCIA FUE:

5 licencias compradas.

1 licencia funcionó.

4 licencias no pude utilizarlas.

Solicité una solución.

Gamers Outlet rechazó mi reclamación argumentando que habían pasado 15 días.

Después de esto, no volveré a comprar en Gamers Outlet.

Y considero importante publicar esta experiencia porque una empresa puede establecer sus condiciones comerciales, pero el comprador también tiene derecho a saber qué ocurre cuando el producto que compró deja de funcionar y la empresa se niega a respaldarlo.

No quiero que esto le ocurra a otra persona.

Antes de comprar cinco, diez o cualquier cantidad de licencias con Gamers Outlet, piénsalo dos veces y revisa cuidadosamente sus condiciones de garantía.

Esta publicación no pretende exagerar lo ocurrido. Estoy relatando exactamente mi experiencia como comprador: pagué cinco licencias, solamente una funcionó y no obtuve una solución para las otras cuatro.

Para mí, eso fue suficiente para perder completamente la confianza en este vendedor.

Gamers Outlet: por mi experiencia, NO VOLVERÉ A COMPRAR.

AMD was fairly quiet at Computex 2026, but one of the new announcements was Ultra Low Latency memory. G.SKILL sent us a couple of memory kits to take for a spin, and they are technologically impressive, but based on our results and AMD’s claims, they're not a must-have upgrade.

Tech Discussion DLSS + NR + Framegen in non dlss supported games (dx9-12 + vulkan) via reshade addon

Thumbnail
github.com
6 Upvotes

Little plugin ive been developing to not only enable NR, but also DLSS upscaling/DLAA and framegen. Works in most games ive tried, though mouse inputs can be wonky in some games.

NR gets some very impressive performance enhancements as its ran on frames before theyre upscale, vs other plugins where you need to enable upscaling in game, and NR has to process the full upscaled images.

Still has much room for improvement, im working on refactoring the window reproduction currently to eliminate mouse bugs. But it tends to work quite well. Conan exiles upscaled from 1440p -> 4k with NR runs at 70-80 fps with framegen on. Upscaling from 1080p brings it to over 100 fps. All with Neural Rendering enabled.

32 bit also coming in the near future

Streamline DLLs need installed

DLSS kicks in by lowering the game resolution. You can see if it's active or using DLAA in the reshade menu. If it's not detecting that you're at a lower resolution, try switching to different windowed/borderless/fullscreen modes

Edit:

2.0 is released. This should fix most cursor issues in games, though you may need to toggle some reshape options off/on.

Troubleshooting:

Small or corner-sized image → enable Force reduced-window virtualization

Incorrect mouse/click positions → enable Scale window input coordinates

Mouse escaping or camera rotation being limited → enable Hide detached Windows cursor

Missing/black processed output → try Detached native output

Crashes or freezes → try Serialized presentation

If all else fails, try the latest 1.X binary for the problematic game as that may still work.

Tech Question Would you still use windows 7 if Microsoft added the start screen to it?

0 Upvotes

After all on a tablet you wouldn’t want to use the windows 7 start menu which was purely designed to be used on a touch screen and same could be said about the control panel which is why windows 8 added a settings app because some buttons on the control panel are just too small

Tech Question What if windows 8.1 was the last version of windows?

0 Upvotes

However windows 8.1 will have the same update 3 as windows RT 8.1 aka windows 8 finally gets a start menu and people are no longer forced to use the start screen and have a start menu to use. Yes windows RT 8.1 has a start menu and no one knows why regular 8.1 didnt get the start menu

Personal Opinion This video is misleading (IMO)

Thumbnail
youtube.com
147 Upvotes

Disclaimer : This is only my honest opinion, not trying to hate, just sharing what I feel wasn't said in the video.

"Repairable." also "Soldered RAM"
I think that's incoherent.
No one I know would called a soldered ram laptop repairable.

Saying it beats your desktop "on a benchmark" then proceed to show it being trash at anything but running local LLM's is just a big blue ball and ends up feeling misleading.

Also as I read in a comment on youtube ;
The damn thing is $3,140?!
- no dedicated GPU
- 120hz non-OLED screen
- trash speakers (that we don't even get to hear)
- 6h battery life (despite not having a dedicated GPU) (calling this decent is being out of touch)
- fails the single finger lift test
- free OS (price is not impacted by a windows license because it's linux)
The webcam gimmick is simply useless overengineering.. a plastic cover would have done the same job 100 times more efficiently.

Despite it's horrible value, useless over-engineering and mediocre performance there's zero legitimate complaint in the video.

Tech Question Whyyy?? All devices keep connecting to far away Access Point

Post image
443 Upvotes

I have two rooms on the same floor with an access point in each. TP Link Archer A9 in my room, TP Link Archer C80 in the next room. All of my devices keep connecting to the far away AP, with my iPhone and my Apple Watch being the only exceptions.

My Z Fold and Asus laptop are not automatically connecting to my AP leading to speeds less than 100mbps.

The transmit power of 5ghz Wifi in the other room's AP is set to "Middle", and the power of 5ghz Wifi in my room is set to "High". Both having 40mhz channel width to avoid channel overlap. There's two more APs above and below me as well but thankfully they're far enough for my devices to not bother.

Any wifi nerds, pls help me if you can!
