did I really just get a bluescreen because of XMP

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

almost double your RAM speed with this one weird trick

…oh, my XMP is off

maybe I should try to get a stable overclock on this again but I think my board is too wonky for that

trying to stream to Discord while playing GTAV and my poor quad-core Haswell is just maxed out so much the game can't load in the road

four CPU cores really isn't always enough anymore, huh

great, when you have a second monitor connected via the IGPU ports, Watch Dogs 2 just doesn't start

the #adventofcode subreddit is great (via https://old.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/kbjyfl/2020_day_12_why_do_i_keep_doing_this_to_myself/)

also, 24 stars, that's the halfway point! never got this far before :D

also check out my highly technical drawing (basically no spoiler for Advent of Code day 11 but y'know)

I've completed "Seating System" https://wtools.io/paste-code/b2TS, shoutout to this refresher on how to do [redacted] #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2020/day/11

especially in a language with no easy way to have vectors

ugh, day 12 of #AdventOfCode is just tedious

how do you even design an interstitial for a website that just drops you on the start page? do you want people to leave in frustration?

apple music now has a fade-out/in when you pause/unpause and it's awful, it feels like there's lag on the pause button

oh noooo
