I also have the Scythe Fuma II. Very happy with it!

I believe that may be a browser setting. You will have to google it. Which browser do you use?

Guessing in Safari on your Mac?

Found this in the Apple forums:

PSA: Don’t run Riva Statistics Tuner Server with a 3D acceleration hook to display overlay stats, while you try to run 3DMark benchmarks. It will bluescreen your shit :man_facepalming:

This is a little concerning:

Funnily enough, this only seems to be affecting my laptop, I have been working fine on it all day and then I just noticed a degraded experience.

Plug a cable in

haha sadly I only have two USB-C connectors, both of which are taken by charger and external screen. Suppose I wasn’t looking for a solution, perhaps just possible explanations.

Ok wifi. So go and sit in front of the wifi point, and ping again.

the joys of new laptops, that don’t come with RJ45 connectors. Yea if its just your laptop on the wifi that is getting drops like taht, its possibly the adapter. If it looks like signal is super weak (like no bars), you can maybe (if you brave) open the lpatop up and just make sure both antenna are plugged into the wireless adapter card. Sadly, as time has gone on, companies have made it less easy to access the hdd, ram and wireless adapter, so you might need a youtube vid on disassembling your model…they can hide screws in fucked up places

Compounded by the fact that I’m pretty sure @Beo’s laptop is a MacBook.

well yea, but then any tech support is gonna be “well what did you expect, you bought a mac. go take it to an apple store and get charged to replace your overpriced hardware. there is no “repair” on a mac” :smiley:

Anyone know of a local etailer that sells SFF lunchbox style pc casings that’s smaller than the Cooler Master NR200. Something like a DAN A4 or a Ghost L1

Can’t find anything at the usual suspects list of shops

Definitely not any cube cases, they are just ugly.

Cases / Chassis - PC Components would something like these work at rebeltech

Was there, but it’s the same everywhere: Cooler Master, InWin or like NZXT H1 (which is that newer tall narrow shape). Oh well, I guess Amazon to the rescue, and the long ass wait that comes from international shipping.

Anyone who uses steam family sharing with a friend?

For some reason my mate cant see my games when i am logged out.

But when i log in to steam on her account i can find the game? Its not installed on my pc currently

I remember it being kinda “finicky” and dumb to use when my mate shared his games with me. Basically you have to log into the “family member” pc as your account, enable family sharing on this device, then logout and then login with them, then i THINK do enable on your end too, then do the “invite/request” bit. I remember it was never obvious that you have to actually log in to the friends pc who’s going to be leeching the game.

If you’ve done those steps and still have problems, maybe make sure you don’t have some kind of filtering set on your library. there should be an option for “their” games, a category all on its own.

But haven’t done it in ages, so that might be murky info

“Finicky” is exactly the right term. I think every now and then a Steam client update breaks something, and you have to redo the steps. All the details - account names and authorised devices - are still in there, but it just wants to know that you’re still okay with sharing your library so it has you do the login to the friends device again.

It may even be a fine print thing in the rules maybe? Something like you have to reconfirm every year that you’re still okay with sharing your library?

Yea, its also what made me stop using it. you’re already asking a favor of someone to share their library, but now every now and then you gotta bug them and go “can you remote into my pc and login again, your library has been revoked.” gets tedious fairly quickly…
