The real deal y0

I know what i did to the ps3, and i know what needs to be done. I barely use the ps3 so its fine for my case. The real fix can also be to redo the ihs so the solder doesnt crack or get damaged again because of heat. Also, ps3 also got a lot easier to debug with syscon, which was also only (relatively) recently descovered. Sure made debugging the ps3 easier haha. Ive left the connection available on my ps3 for future usage hehe

Ye no, ive have a ps3 that ylod which i reflowed back to life. After it was working again i started digging and the temps the core was reporting wasnt even close to the ihs that i measured with thermal couple. Also the thermal paste is on top of the ihs, not under it and it wasnt soldered in place. Early ps3’s did cook themselves. Less than 360 by a long shot, but they still did!
Also, side note, its funny how some 360’s rrod was not due to the heat issue but can also be caused by power supply failure or the plug being faulty. Thats how i got and fixed my 360 🤣 - Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 3 days ago:
Ok so, let me set this all straight.
The wii had nothing to do with the gpu but with the die of the gpu that nintendo had designed and kept secret.
Inside the gpu die is both the gpu (hollywood) but also an arm core called starlet. It runs the security software and thats where (rarely but happened) things went wrong, as it was always running code, even in standby. This had nothing to do with ati.And the ps3 was not what you said. The ps3’s problem was that the ihs wasnt making a good enough contact to the core so the heat of the cpu didnt transfer well into the cooler. You can fix this, but is very tricky and is easy to permanently damage the ps3 in doing so ( you have to cut the silicon under the ihs without touching the die or the pcb, remove the silicon and do reattach it with less glue ). This could be contributed to the manufacturer i suppose

- Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 1 week ago:
So its called rider and is made by jetbrains :p Its cross platform, does ui’s better than vscode, handles starting web, razor and .net projects out of the box. Has plugins too! :p
No, the only thing imo visual studio has over vscode ( and i use both in my life ) is that visual studio deals with .net projects waaaay better than vscode. Asp api, blazor, wpf, maui, … These are all project types vscode needs some kind of manual config for. Let alone that vscode doesnt do ui previews out of the box while visual studio can.
Visual studio also has a way better intellisense than vscode.With all of that said, vscode is my go to for general web (js, php,html,…) And c/c++ projects

Then the “windows app” can do nothing? If they dont have rdp support, and remote desktop uses rdp, then it cant do anything??

You realise visual studio has more features in professional worlds besides the old winforms formbuilder… Right?
Let alone blazor runs better in visual studio than vscode… - Comment on Microsoft renames "Remote Desktop" to "Windows App". Good luck googling for any help or troubleshooting it. 1 week ago:
Did microsoft make a new protocol that isnt rdp? Or did they switch to a new one?
I use rdp a lot to remote into work so if that changes, i need to know 😅 - Comment on I like Angelo, Palmer, Sandro, and Rico 1 week ago:
Game. Unreal 1 was an actual game and was before they sold the unreal engine. Where do you think the unreal comes from in unreal engine??
- Comment on I like Angelo, Palmer, Sandro, and Rico 1 week ago:
No, gta. Unreal is a dead game franchise

And youre missing the point again. We dont live in a shitty world, you live in a shitty country. What i said is indeed what it should be and what it is actually like here and in the surrounding countries hehe

No, this is on you guys for not having laws or unions. If a company pulls this shit off here they get to may multiple months of paychecks in damages because they had signed the contract. And even still they cant just lay somebody off like that.
Welcome to modern society :')

- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 1 month ago:
Im not saying i disagree, im saying its more complex than “just a few cents”.
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 1 month ago:
Its not that i disagree with you, they should have used them and its pretty bad ( though a lot can be fixed with some good old wd40 for electronics lol)
However, its not a few cents more. Its way way more. A regular stick is around 1.84 - 2.73 euro a piece depending on how many you order from official components store. A hal sensor stick is often 2-4 euro.
Lets say 150mil switches are sold, each having 2 sticks. 150,000,000 * 0.40 = 60mil difference in cost for the company, at least, for using different sticks. And thats just sticks that come with the console, not separately sold controllers or pro controllers.
Manufacturing cost is very different than just ‘its a few cents more’.

Good to know, thanks for posting the results!
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
See comment above. R7 7700, rx 6750 xt, 1080p
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Is this from beta or benchmark tool? Big difference. I have framegen off because eeuw and play on 1080p
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Wdym runs like shit. Been playing all day just fine…
… And on linux too…
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Beta wasnt optimised at all and frame gen was broken in them which was funny. Full game is better optimised but still has some hickups. Id suggest to run the benchmark, which is free and is a lot more updated than the betas ( and runs better )
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 2 months ago:
Playing on ultra on r7 7700 and 6750 ( 12GB ) and its running 43-60fps. They also released a high res texture pack but its recommended to only use with min 16GB of vram ( free dlc ) which i havent tested yet.
So try the benchmark and see. I think the medium settings should be fine
- Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US 3 months ago:
Huh, i thought ps5 (pro) was 4k native, but looks like its via some hardware upscaler. Good to know hehe. That changes some things, but lets see. The ps5 pro gpu is equivalent to a rx 7700 xt, which is a 400 msrp card. In reality its way more, but lets work with msrp prices to give this the best chance of success.
Ps5 pro is 700$ msrp, so thats 300$ you have left for cpu, ram, ssd, case, and psu. I dont think you can do that, but lets look at the next part: cpu
Cpu is equivalent to a ryzen 7 3700x, which is an old cpu so is cheap atm, 120$.
Ok, 180$ left in the budget, next: motherboard.
I found a board on amazon for 65$, which was the ASRock A520M-HDV. 120$ left.
Ok so, ssd. Ps5 pro comes with a 2TB ssd. I found some sketchy, offbrand, m.2 ssd’s from brands i never even heard off for 94$. There is probably cheaper, but amazon’s website was being an arse and lets face it, how trustworthy or slow are those. 36$ left in budget.Thats 36 for ram, case and psu… As much as i hate to admit it, as a pc person, you cant make a pc with equal strength as ps5 pro and it sucks arse
- Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US 3 months ago:
Not really. To have games in 4k and 30fps you need a gpu that is more than half the budget. And you dont even have a cpu, ram, mobo or even case.
Dont get me wrong btw, i will always pick pc because i do way way more than just gaming, but recommending pc for gaming is becoming really hard - Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US 3 months ago:
Normally, id agree. But with pc parts prices being what they are… Its still a “bargin”. I hate to use the word bargin here, because the pricing of both pc and consoles is insane

I think i see the change. They are mentioning the ssn is 9 numbers long, which is 1 longer than the 3-3-2 format wikipedia mentions. That does mean its around 999mil numbers, which ye allows for a few generations ( like, 1 or 2 lol )
