what am I supposed to watch while eating lunch if Youtube doesn't work

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz sadly, I have to work

you have a good sleep though!

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yeah wine kinda needs 32-bit to run 32-bit windows apps, Codeweavers (the CrossOver devs) have a way to run 32bit Windows apps on 64bit wine but it's apparently too hacky to get merged into wine. You should be able to run 64bit Windows apps in wine64 though

@nonphatic oh dang the firmware update screen got nicer

@nonphatic I understand a few of the words after having seen the German version but it's really hard to understand native Dutch when they talk so quickly

@nonphatic what did you expect? they do have a heavy Dutch accent but the languages aren't too different

I don't care at all about Minecraft speedruns but doing extensive statistical analysis to figure out whether someone tweaked their luck stats is pretty impressive

ashens' and Nerdcubed's advent calendar this year is just them slowly losing their minds from eating too much cheese and comparing toy cars from time to time, it's so good

the best part is that near the beginning, they realize that since they're filming via video chat anyways, they could've done each on a separate day instead of in one session, which would've meant that they wouldn't have to eat that much cheese at once

AoC Day 13 Part 2 spoiler 

oh wow unless you know what the Chinese Remainder Theorem is, this one's gonna be a slow as fuck brute force, bleh. I ended up generating equations and pasting it into WolframAlpha, what a boring-ass day

AoC Day 13 Part 2 (I haven't solved it yet) 

beginning to think the naïve approach won't be fast enough here

did I really just get a bluescreen because of XMP

rambling 

I wonder how many people have their RAM running without XMP. When my brother first got his computer (prebuilt from selected parts, it was a free offer from the store because Ryzen 2s were new and they didn't wanna send people CPUs to update their BIOSes) he couldn't turn on XMP. Took us a bit to figure out that XMP wouldn't work because one of his RAM sticks was just… bad. Was a pain in the ass to get it replaced, even though the building explicitly included testing, one would assume that they'd at least check if the mobo would post and see if all the hardware showed up…

god I'd really like to know why my board doesn't like to open the UEFI setup most of the time
