01:25:31 <MrMobodies> Brought an Nvidia GTX 980 from a computer shop (reduced to £20) to rid of the HORRIBLE ATI Catalyst mysery
01:25:40 <MrMobodies> absolutely HATE the control panel
01:26:36 <MrMobodies> depend on Net frame and redistributable things and this was the old 2015 driver which seems a lot better than the massive big thing I uninstalled
01:27:01 <MrMobodies> all I need is a set of basic controls

01:31:51 <steve30> I have the Nvidia drivers on my system for my [newer] card and they seem to work fine

01:35:41 <MrMobodies> Is it based on the simple control panel
01:36:15 <steve30> The linux ones seem relatively "normal". I can't remember what the Windows one looks like. All I remember is that it works.

01:36:46 <MrMobodies> aaah okay
01:37:04 <MrMobodies> Well I have a few now and I'll see how they appear
01:37:26 <MrMobodies> I now the later ones had telemetry in them will try to remove it
01:38:05 <MrMobodies> https://static0.xdaimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2024/12/nvidia-app-and-control-panel-hero.jpg
01:38:19 <MrMobodies> that black thing reminds of the new ATI drivers control panel
01:38:49 <MrMobodies> Massive BIG thing with everything spaced apart and confuses my senses to find things that were previously, just there

02:44:36 <MrMobodies> 2019 driver and rigged full of sh*t
02:44:43 <MrMobodies> I removed the NVTELEMTRY folder
02:45:09 <MrMobodies> installed and in tas scheduler, the "updater" component was there under telemtry name
02:45:15 <MrMobodies> so they have two telemetry components
02:45:28 <MrMobodies> anyway it works
02:45:42 <MrMobodies> unrealtournament uses bugger all resources and 39c
02:46:07 <MrMobodies> nice and smooth compared to that ATI thing that was released a year later in 2014
02:46:56 <MrMobodies> and in Unrealtournament and other things it kept on briefly stalling every 2 seconds on movement for about 1/4 of a second which I found very annoying
02:47:31 <MrMobodies> someone gave me an old HP Envy with an I7 in it, that ATI graphics card put me right off
02:47:40 <MrMobodies> and now I find it usuable
02:48:49 <MrMobodies> Nvidia Geforce 980 GTX 4GB DDR5 256bit
02:49:24 <MrMobodies> with a nice large jet fan that I can hear cooling it
02:53:04 <MrMobodies> Steve30, just found this

02:53:18 <MrMobodies> "I want 10 years in No 10"
02:53:50 <MrMobodies> When they start saying things lie that that, I believe they have become out of touch maybe.
02:54:12 <MrMobodies> that doesn't seemt to look good on someone
02:54:42 <MrMobodies> he's there because his mp's voted him in not by his own will to be there.
02:55:33 <MrMobodies> and I don't think Gordon Brown can do anything for him at this stage.
02:59:35 <MrMobodies> very pleased, when on load the GPU fan spins quite effectively like in the 40's, rather than the fan idling at low rpm waiting for it to get to 60.
03:01:09 <MrMobodies> that ATI, whilst I could get it to spin up emitted this horrible noise compared tot hat.
03:15:22 <MrMobodies> GPU 33c with the lid on and at idle very pleased.
03:15:55 <MrMobodies> well worth my £20, the man was selling it or £40, but because I did some things for him "for you 20 quid mate".
03:16:18 <MrMobodies> SG computers in Whittlesey
03:17:27 <MrMobodies> he also gave me that Archos tablet thingy which I'll design a control panel in eventghost on it as it's vertically sized

15:27:09 <Halcyon> Hahah
15:28:53 <steve30> Did I tell you I got some second hand LTO 4 tapes?
15:37:02 <Halcyon> No you didn't. Very nice.
15:37:27 <steve30> got 10 for £25 from a recycler
15:37:39 <steve30> They sell packs of 100 for £150 but I didn't really need that many.

16:39:36 <steve30> it was only the light pipe for the power led
16:41:21 <Halcyon> I wish I had an IT recycler nearby. I would be like a kid in a candy store
16:41:36 <Halcyon> Probably good that I don't actually.
16:41:41 <steve30> hehe
16:42:04 <steve30> They have a tape eraser bot called Sprinkles :)
16:42:05 <steve30> https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1s57tpy/2_million_tapes/
16:42:46 <Halcyon> Hah, cute.
16:43:18 <Halcyon> I feel like a demagnetising wand would be far more effective, but then I suppose you can't reuse the tapes.
16:44:18 <steve30> apparently they have some patented tape erasing heads - some of which destroy the data on the whole tape, and the others just erase the data tracks but leave the servo tracks in tact so the tapes can be sold and reused.
16:44:52 <Halcyon> I assume that "patented erasing head" is just a strong magnet the tape whizzes by
16:45:09 <steve30> probably

19:24:06 <MrMobodies> "There to protect the public" BS
19:25:06 <K> that'll teach the man not to asian next time!
19:25:27 <MrMobodies> Got to cover up face my in pblic so police can do a proper assessment and look through through some PROPER ID's if they suspect.
19:28:50 <krish2487> looks like even the softwares are becoming racist day by day. :-(
19:32:47 <MrMobodies> Funny enough that was a software engineer they arrested. Maybe he could bang the system to rights in court.
19:34:17 <MrMobodies> I mean the police and the facial recognition software.
19:35:32 <krish2487> to what ends? its not like the courts are likely to magically fix whats wrong with the software or police...
19:36:16 <krish2487> they ( the police ) will just find a way around the courts.. while maliciously complying with the judges order..
19:48:51 <MrMobodies> "find away around the couples while complying"... sounds to me just like something they'll do and be good at.
19:49:04 <MrMobodies> oops oops courts not couples
19:49:58 <MrMobodies> and what a waste of tax payers money at this point
19:50:51 <MrMobodies> Street camera's everywhere in town already nevermind the vans and many arrested for shoplifing captures by those
19:51:14 <MrMobodies> so I wonder are those cans necessary
19:51:49 <MrMobodies> Joke: Guilty by associaton.
19:51:58 <MrMobodies> oh off to the shops

23:07:34 <MrMobodies> So she'd be FOURTEEN then.
23:07:58 <MrMobodies> just wow
23:08:47 <MrMobodies> but then I don't know the nature of the assault
23:08:54 <MrMobodies> now if it was burglary then yes
23:11:05 <MrMobodies> I just wonder whether people will be targetted decades away for for morsels of their food falling on the ground or waste they put in these modern plastic bins flying out of the other side during wind.
23:13:29 <MrMobodies> I'd thought repeat offenders that are a danger to the public were more priority of their time.

23:17:22 <MrMobodies> Steve30, very disappointed in labour going into the footsteps of the Conservatives, where they resign all so they can backstab each other for the leadership.
23:19:47 <MrMobodies> the unite is no longer there and they'd be fighting amongst themselves instead of moving in one direction
