I'm trying to answer a question for a client who wants to migrate service principals from Azure AD Graph, which is getting phased out, to Microsoft Graph. Our main 365 admin is AWOL and I'm just a lowly software developer in a bit of a pickle because I (along with the rest of my current team) don't understand how Microsoft structures their account management platforms.
We have a rather old application that still makes some calls with the older Azure AD Graph API through one of our authentication packages. I can update this package, but I don't know how to test the implications for tenants in either state of using Azure AD Graph or the more current Microsoft Graph.
Hoping this is the right place to ask these questions. Warning: I don't know enough about Microsoft Entra to know how dumb these might be:

• How do I determine which API our service principal is using?
• Can I create a test tenant under our existing subscription? Or do I need to go through the ringer of setting up an entirely fresh and separate organization to test with?
• Are service principals global, or can we apply one to a group or specific user?

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I left most of my camcorder knowledge back in 2009 when my camcorder stopped recording, so I am turning to you all in Reddit to help. I have a Panasonic PV GS-300 camcorder that I used to record a lot of tapes; I am now looking to convert the tapes myself. Even though my camcorder doesn’t record, it does playback the tapes that I can see on my viewfinder. Unfortunately though, I have lost or thrown out the proprietary video DV cord. I haven’t been able to locate one, so I am looking for used mini DV camcorders online. That brings me to my two questions.
1) When looking at new-to-me vintage camcorder models, what feature do I need to look at to make sure that the playback to the PC or TV is the best quality that it can be? I know quality also has to do with the tape I used, the speed in which I recorded the videos, and making sure to use a head cleaner. I just wasn’t sure if there is a playback quality feature (like pixelation or hd quality), too.
2) I understand I probably need an AV to HDMI converter. Does whatever one I purchase make a difference in the quality?
3) Is there any software that you recommend I use to convert this, or is recording from the movie player on my machine fine for this purpose? I have seen videos of the different ways to do this but don’t see where there are reviews of the methods.
4) Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can look to purchase the proprietary DV cord other than eBay, Amazon, and Panasonic? The only cord I saw listed showed an incorrect cord in the photo. The Panasonic parts website shows they aren’t available anymore.
Thank you, in advance, for any insights and advice you have regarding any/all of these questions.

Guide: Using a screen reader in OBS
by: MoriRepublic
This guide is intended for people who use screen readers. The screen reader software that I use is NVDA through out this guide. I will be only using a keyboard and NVDA to navigate OBS's interface.
Basic Navigation
To navigate around the application, you can use TAB, and arrow keys. However, I recommend using TAB, as there are different scale sliders that may be affected by navigating with arrow keys. You can also use the ALT key to access some of the same material. I have not tested the menus from the ALT too much, because there does not seem to be a need for me to access it. Although, you cannot access the tools menu without ALT. This is very important if you wanted to set your streaming/recording settings to what is recommended for your personal computer specs, which can be done by running the Auto-Config Wizard within the tool menu. To access your start/stop streaming, recording, webcam, etc options, you can press the SPACE BAR to check and uncheck the box. Sidenote: you can setup hotkeys to access these features too.
Creating things in OBS
You can create things by clicking the right click key, such as scenes and sources. The right click key for me is right function, but some users may use SHIFT+f10 as a right click key. This also allows you to edit the properties of an existing scene or source. Be sure to hover over the thing you want to edit.
Accessing the settings menu in OBS
To access the settings menu, TAB until you hear settings, and press SPACE BAR. You will be greeted with a list of options that you navigate through using the arrow up and down keys, and use the TAB key to navigate inside the page:

1. General page, which was the previous page that you were on.
   
2. Streaming page, where you can connect your choice of platform to stream/record.
   
3. Output page, where you are able to edit your video/audio bit rates and other behind the scenes information.
   
4. Audio page, where you can select where your audio will be coming from,
   
5. Video page, where you are able to edit screen resolution and FPS.
   
6. Hotkeys page, where you can edit various things like stop/start streaming to a specific binding of keys.
   
7. Other pages, there are other pages too, but I never seem to use them and therefore will not go into deeper detail.
   

When you are inside any of the pages that is not the General page , you will mostly want to use arrow up and down , SPACE BAR, and sometimes enter to edit/select the information. Be sure to remember, when you change your settings you click apply, ok, or you can click escape and press yes to save the changes, which should take you back to the list, or the General page.
Creating scenes and sources
Ready to record and/or stream? Let's do it! First,
what is a source and scene? A scene is like a tv screen, and the source is the thing displaying things onto the tv screen.
Now, let's create a scene. Navigate to the general page, which is the page that you first launch into the application. Find the scenes window and right click on it. Find the add button, which can be done with down arrowing, or tabbing. Please note that there is other information on this window, and feel free to navigate around to get more comfortable. After entering into the add button, you should be greeted with text that represents the scene name. Call the scene whatever you want, I will name the scene, Test. Tab to Ok, and enter on the button. Your first scene has been successfully created!
Now, let's create our first source. Navigate to the sources window, which should be 1 tab from the scenes window. Once at the sources, press your right click key and click add. There should be a list of options, such as game capture, window capture, video capture device, etc. I personally use window capture, which works well. After entering the window capture, you will again be brought up a text box that represents the sources name. Let's leave it to be window capture, and enter on the OK button. This next page is highly important, because this is where you can pick the game/output window that you want to record/stream. I recommend these following properties: Have the checkmark boxes all unchecked. There is three different collapse lists. The first list in order, is the address to what the source will be displaying on screen, The second collapse list should be set to automatic, and the third collapse list should be match title or otherwise match title with same window type. Now click OK. You now created your first source and scene successfully! You can edit your source, by hovering over the source labeled window capture, and press right click. Go into properties and change anything you want. Please note, if you are completely blind, you can see what your screen is capturing by going into the properties menu and looking for the address bar, which is the first collapse list. If you have several apps opened, you should be able to choose the correct output you want to be capturing. Remember to click spacebar on he scene to checkmark it before going live/recording.
I hope you found this guide helpful, and not too daring! Please check out my Twitch channel MoriRepublic, and consider following.

Hi, I am a 26tard who joined VMC Pitampura in one of their late after board result batch. The thing is that everyone regardless of their marks in the entrance test got the same batch and I am easily in the top 5 out of 40 students there. My only hope to improve ny batch are the monthly tests where I need to score 240+ out of 300 consistently The test is on 14th June and in my current condition I can only hope for 200 at best. Please suggest me some free chapter wise JEE Mains question banks that are a little bit on the tough side (honestly some are way too easy and some wayy too hard). Thank you very much!

Hey y'all! I'm trying to plan a flight mission and would love some insight into a few things. I've done quite a few small area RTK flights with my DJI M300, but never anything like this and I want to do it right.
Context: -140 acre area -heavily forested -~300' elevation variation -no cell service -collecting imagery to be used for spatial analysis of selective logging plots
I will be using the Matrice 300 with P1 sensor and DJI Pilot2 for flight planning/control.
I plan on flying PPK due to not having a connection to use RTK and more or less following this workflow. However, I will be getting reference data from my local CORS station (which is ~7 miles from the study site).
My first question is... what if my CORS data is in a different coordinate system than WGS84? Does that get ironed out in software processing or...?
The next issue is that of the elevation variation and using terrain follow. I would think that with that much variation and the need to do spatial analysis, using terrain follow would be best (if not, please tell me). Can terrain follow even be used without RTK/an internet connection? I've seen different answers to this but nothing is super clear.
If I can use terrain follow in PPK... I have 5' DEMs available to me through the state (Kentucky). My thought was that I could upload them to the mission to use as the surface. However, their datum is D North American 1983 and the spheroid is GRS 1980 so I was going to use the Project Raster tool in ArcGIS Pro to reproject to WGS84. I'll fly at 300' AGL. Any holes here?
If I can't use terrain follow in PPK... Being limited to flying at 400' AGL or below seems problematic. For example, if I put the drone up at the 1500' elevation area, I would need to set the flight height to 100' AGL so I don't exceed 400' when flying over the 1200' elevation area, right? That just feels like not a lot of room for error... what if the high point in reality is actually 1562' and the low point 1100'? What if there is a massive tree approaching 100'? Perhaps I could divide the area into two missions, a lower elevation area one and a higher elevation area one, run some analysis the find the exact high/low spots in each area from the DEMs and ensure I'm within range...
Thanks for making it this far! I'm a newbie and welcome any constructive feedback!

Hey there,
Recently, I have been conducting market research on AI Meeting Assistants for my personal project. The objectives were to evaluate the category’s status quo and assess market potential. I was surprised by how many solutions simply copy each other and compete only in marketing copy.
I believe all these tools might be useful, and I am curious to know if you are using any of them and why. I tested some during the customer discovery and customer development phases and was surprised by the outputs they produce.
To make it easier to find something specific, the tools are grouped into categories. I have also excluded sales call-oriented solutions. Looking forward to your feedback!

If I forgot any important assistants, please DM me or just put them in the comments. Thank you!

Couldn't find reliable source, so I tested it myself.
Question was, does the monster evolution level affect gold drop? To test it, I ran through citadel, NG+ 15, 3 times with this burden x5, 3 times without, everything else was almost the same. 25% higher money gain with burdens, because it pushed me above required number, but since my gold bonus was 300+% already, another 25% did not change much.
Results without evolution: 613, 546, 479 (1638)
Results with evolution - 691, 516, 619 (1826)
3 is a very low number, still the difference is very close to 25% I got from selecting more than required number of burdens.
To make the real test I should kill for example 50 normal maidens then 50 evolved ones, calculating money drop after every kill, still I got the answer I was looking for.
Burden of evolution x5 does not change overall money gain, at least not by noticeable margin. It makes game much harder and evolved monsters yield more experience points, but that's about it.

u/browri and Hi Guys,
I am facing a strange problem, The TP-Link DECO X60 Router that I have is giving me issues while connecting via a PPPOE connection. The Deco does not connect using a PPPOE Mode. I escalated this issue with Senior Technical Support in TP-Link and even they did not have any idea on why the Deco was not connecting via a PPPOE mode when we were following all the right steps. There after this issue was escalated to their Shenzen Office which happens to be the TP-Link Head Quarters. They took a remote access of my computer asking me to first connect the ETHERNET Cable into Deco and then connect the same Ethernet Cable to the Laptop and everytime the Logs would say I am entering a wrong password which I was not. So on further investigation
Turns out the fault is my ISP uses a Password which is in an un-encrypted format and DECO uses and receives Password only in an Encrypted format. And hence it does not log me in.
Now the Possible solution they have asked me is ffirst ask your ISP if they can provide a password in Encrypted format which has straight away been denied by the ISP. Second they will make a build, a software release specially for me available only to me which accepts password in DECO in an Un-encrypted format.
The Deco works fine in Dynamic IP mode when the PPPOE connection is made in the ONU (XPON/GPON) Unit that I use for ISP fiber cable connection.
My question is am I better off using a Dynamic IP Mode then having a build which has not been tested thoroughly with a Potential to break something while ammending something ?
Are there any drawbacks of using Wifi in Dynamic IP mode versus having the PPPOE connection in the Router itself ?
Thoughts and suggestions please ?

Question: ML models run 2-3 times faster in Native Linux than WSL2. Is there any method to improve WSL2 performance like Native Linux?
I'm doing some ML analyses and have tested Windows, WSL2, and Native Linux. I found that the model runs almost 2-3 times faster in Native Linux than in native Windows and WSL2. For instance, the ML models run almost 5 days in Windows and WSL2, but 2-3 days in Native Linux; time per epoch is in the order of microseconds in Native Linux, but it is in milliseconds order in the other two systems. Due to the lack of CAD tools (e.g., NX) and Ansys software in Native Linux, I have to stay on Windows. So I wiped out Windows on my laptop, and installed Linux on it, and the model is running on that machine. However, it is less powerful than my main workstation which has an Intel Xeon CPU with 512GB RAM, and GPU (I'd rather use CPU than GPU on this machine). Even though the laptop works well, it cannot run multiple models simultaneously due to the RAM limit. Once I used a dual boot, but it is now prohibited by the new security policy of my organisation; you should use either Windows only or Linux only.
I've been looking for a method to improve WSL2 performance, but nothing seems to exist. Is there any method to enhance WSL2 performance so it will run fast enough like Native Linux?

Problem:
Upon returning to my computer which was idling (no taxing software was running) and a few minutes from entering sleep mode when I left, I found it won't turn on.
When attempting to turn it on using the case's power button, the lights on the RAM sticks will flash and two rapid metallic 'click' noises are heard (like quickly flipping a light switch). Then it resumes the completely off behavior.
Pressing the power button after the first attempt does nothing. By turning the Power Supply switch off and on again this behavior repeats.
If an ethernet cable is plugged into the Motherboard I/O while the Power Supply is on, the amber light adjacent to the port will flash.
Things I've Tried:
The sources I'm reading have led me to believe that this failure is at the Power stage rather than during the POST or Boot stages. So currently I'm concentrating my attention upon issues in this area. Things I've tried include:

• Unplugging all peripherals.
• Reseating the 24 pin connector.
• Screwdriver Test
• Paperclip Test (I used a stripped twist tie, this makes a difference)

Images/Video:
Video of Issue (The clicking I described isn't audible in the video. The clicking heard in the video is the case's power button.)

TL;DR: 600-800€ new build, near France, MMO gaming, for 1366x768 60hz (or 1080p later), Lowest graphics, 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM, may run 2 games at once, wired, no monitor needed. Prefer: silent stealthy black case, some SATA ports and room for future HDDs, maybe built around a used RX 6600/580 video card.
Hello, while making this I rambled a lot in order to be "as specific as possible" and wrote many questions since I myself am unsure what to expect for what budget. I've stuck with the same potato PC and tunnel-visioned two games for a decade, WoW and LoL, so I've never experienced the modern standard for "acceptable" in metrics such as FPS for newer games, quality, resolution, quietness and storage. Perhaps it will be jarring to read, perhaps it breaks the monotony of robotic fast food requests, I don't know, that's why I wrote that TL;DR. The essay is just here if you need more context. Hopefully it helps. Either way I thank you for your time.
I'll highlight the most relevant information if you want to skim through. And I'll link pages to system requirements of each game, and PC parts I'm considering buying.
1. New build or upgrade?
New. Mine is beyond saving.
2. Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
Just my 1366x768p 60hz monitor for now.
More important to this list, I'm considering buying either one of these "refurbished" video cards from eBay, they both have a 1-year warranty, free shipping in four days straight from my country, and the seller has overwhelmingly positive reviews on hundreds of them. Do you think any of those is good deal? AMD RX 6600 Sapphire Pulse 8GB, 187€ https://www.ebay.fitm/134948507775 or AMD RX 580 Sapphire Nitro+ 8GB, 107€ https://www.ebay.fitm/134663065775 if 6600 is overkill. I read that 580 consumes more, but I'm clueless with math. How many hours would it take to make 580 more expensive than 6600 in the long run?
Right now, technically, I'm reusing my 1366x768 60hz monitor ViewSonic VA1913wm. It has a blue VGA port from an ancient civilization, will that be a problem or can I just find an adapter for it? But if possible I'd like to build around a future 1920x1080 monitor in case mine dies. Why I believe it may die [yapping]:in March it's been acting creepy for the first time in 14 years, making a whiny buzzing noise and flickering brightness like it's a horror game, intensified if I kept the brightness high. Somehow it stopped this behavior after one week but instead it's now stuck projecting the default high brightness, ignoring any value I select. Thankfully I can still lower the brightness a bit through the Windows 7 color calibration feature. So for now the monitor has been "tolerable" but definitely not normal. It's still better than having it too dim or flickering and noisy so I dare not mess with the settings again and damage it further.
Later, I'll probably reuse my current SATA SSD for extra storage. Samsung QVO 870 1TB. [yapping] It was an emergency QLC SSD that I bought solely because WoW became unplayable on my HDD in the November 2022 expansion. But now perhaps I could use use a faster SSD(?), and 2 terabytes since most of these games weigh above 100GB and I read it's bad to fill the whole drive. My 500GB HDD split in two partitions has always been the bane of my existence preventing me from trying other games. I'm keeping that SSD in my old PC for now for testing/troubleshooting/backup but I'll probably transfer it to my new build for extra storage once the old PC is no longer needed, it boots from the HDD anyway. Will I need to format that old SSD when transferring it or will I keep my data when I plug it into my new PC?
3. PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
(Grab a coffee) My main usage is gaming. Typically multiplayer with infinite play time, character customization and fashion, socializing hubs, healer classes, so usually MMORPGs.
List of games I definitely want to play + targeted FPS + play frequency:

• World of Warcraft The War Within. Goal: 30+ FPS in raids with Discord voice chat, Low settings. It's my current main game because it's all I can still run (barely). I typically do Heroic raids (15-30 players), Mythic+ dungeons (5), PVP arenas (3V3) and battlegrounds (10v10), only up until I get the limited-time cosmetics for the season then I go play games with more instant gratification like LoL, Skyrim, L4D2. But I hope that with acceptable FPS and fast loading screens I'll enjoy the game again and play it for fun.
• Final Fantasy XIV Online Dawntrail. I don't know my goals yet, I've only managed to complete the 1-50 leveling story quests of the free trial before they removed the DirectX 9 client in March so I couldn't any raid. It's competing to be my new main game thanks to the welcoming community, the housing, fashion, emotes and playable musical instruments.
• League of Legends. Goal: 60 FPS, Very Low. It's my second main game but nowadays I mostly play it out of sunk cost fallacy and Fear Of Missing Out (exactly like WoW) and less for fun, so mainly during limited-time events, no longer chasing ranks. [ranting] They nerfed my only character out of its role since 2015 (lane Nidalee), players are encouraged to mute others, and to blow 500 dollars within one month lest they live with a permanent hole in their favorite character's skin collection. Now you know why it took me a decade to upgrade.
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016). The GOAT. My PC can't run it but I often come back to original Skyrim (2011) for fun. It's not my main game since it's offline, hence why I'm very eager to try Elder Scrolls Online.
• World of Warcraft Classic Cataclysm. [ranting]You'd think it's redundant to mention this game since: I can run WoW Dragonflight which is visually 13 years more advanced, I ran the first build of the Classic Cataclysm beta in March, this PC physically has seen the original Cataclysm first release in 2010, and my GeForce 9800 GT literally is listed as the minimum GPU for GTA V (and 9800 GTX for BDO). However since the second beta build in March 2024, Classic Cataclysm requires a "3D accelerator card with dual-TMU support," whatever that is, just to launch the game. I bet it's because of the AI up-scaling garbage they added and the usual incompetent WoW Classic Team of 5 interns couldn't think of a way to make it optional for people who don't care about 4K.

Games I want at least to try even if I don't make them my permanent home due to some flaws (pay-to-win, incompetent publisher, dying population), so I just want to be able to run them at 1366x768 with playable FPS, and upgrade later if needed:

• The other known MMORPGs such as Elder Scrolls Online, Black Desert Online, New World, Guild Wars 2. Thankfully MMO is a dying genre, the "popular" ones are a decade old. And graphics can't get more realistic than reality, so eventually my hardware will catch up.
• Grand Theft Auto V Online/FiveM. [yapping] Yes, I've heard the horror stories of rock$tar allowing cheaters to grief, ban, dox and DDOS innocents in every PC public lobbies. So I no longer expect the same welcoming social experience I got in MMORPGs. But the rag doll physics and fashion in GTA have potential for fun. I'm curious to see the chaos for myself, like the missionary who went to Sentinel Island and got skewered by the local tribe. Perhaps there's fun to be found in their Discord community or a private sever in the FiveM client.
• Maybe Sea of Thieves. Maybe Rocket League (60 FPS) if they add a 2V2 solo queue without pre-made parties one day I might reinstall it.

I can't really say what's my "comfortable" frame rate for every game since Windows 7 or my hardware is now physically unable to launch most games (FFXIV, Cataclysm Classic, LoL, ESO, GTA V), let alone play them at 30+ FPS. It's hard for a neanderthal to comprehend what racing car they'd like if their only transportation ever has been a donkey. If my budget happens to be more than enough for 768p60, then perfect, that will allow me to invest more in safety and multitasking, or encourage me to upgrade my monitor or increase eye candy. In the end 1080p isn't an absolute necessity, I had only considered it because my current monitor was acting up. It simply would help to read text better, place more UI on my screen, and share prettier screenshots. But frame rate and multitasking convenience come first.
To give you an idea of how much garbage quality I was able to endure: in WoW [yapping] I currently average at 15 FPS in dungeons (5 players) 10 FPS in raids (25 players), all that at 33% render scale (so effectively 453x256 resolution), down to negative FPS with Discord open. It was painful but still enough to earn the main limited-time end-game rewards every season (Elite PVP set and Mythic+ dungeon portals). I've haven't seen a stable 60 FPS in years, outside of chill solo questing in old areas. So I reckon I'll be okay with at least 30+ FPS in raids and 40-60 in smaller group content, with only Projected Textures enabled and Particle Density on Good+ to dodge boss abilities easier.
I want to sometimes run two games at once, hence why I'm aiming for at least 32 GB RAM despite most MMO games requiring 8-16. Obviously I don't expect optimal performances when running two games at once. The reasoning is that those games rely a lot on doing nothing, waiting for queues, rare spawns, auto-play, and looking up guides on a web browser.
I also use Discord often when raiding, it currently uses a ton of my tiny processor. I'd also like the ability to use a soundboard and voice changer in voice chat in the future, without subscribing to Nitro. But I'm unsure if that requires specific hardware; I had a guild mate randomly playing memes like "I am under the water" at good audio quality during raids in 2020 and it was hilarious, he told me I need a sound card(?) for it, whatever that is, so perhaps I'll need a space for that on the motherboard for that unless there is a simple soundboard software nowadays that does this without sounding like it comes from my cheap microphone while my PC fans make noise. Feel free to tell me if you know an alternative to Nitro.
Second daily use: downloading past livestream broadcasts. No crazy hardware involved, just a lot of network and temporary disk writings. The most "editing" I do is just sometimes trimming with LosslessCut. Nerdy breakdown if you're interested: I'd first download a temporary 160p30 version of the broadcast on an internal HDD with either with TwitchLeecher-DX to preview the desired segments fast with VLC, or with TwitchRecover to load the thumbnail of each 10-second chunk with Windows Explorer. Then on an external HDD I'd download the segments that I want in 1080p60 quality with the Simple Mass Downloader browser extension and delete the temporary 160p files.
I also watch YouTube in a minimized PotPlayer window, it takes far less processor and memory than a browser, but it sometimes downloads a kind of "cache" of the video or something to the Temp folder while playing it, and I don't know how to avoid that, meaning more frequent disk writings. All this yapping to say it's always handy to have SATA ports for internal HDDs, even just 1TB, so I don't waste these daily 1-2 GB of temporary writings on a SSD. Although I've heard nowadays SSDs are more durable (I just don't know to what extent) so I can worry about adding a HDD later. At least I still have my old SATA SSD I can transfer.
4. Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
France or near.
People recommend buying from Germany or Spain (amazon.de or amazon.es) so I'm willing to try that. Though I'm unfamiliar on how efficient that is, due to delivery times/fees, and maybe customer support. I'd prefer ordering as soon as possible since there is a grinding limited-time event in FFXIV ending on June 24th.
This website can be used to compare prices between websites or countries. https://dropreference.com/fhome
I rarely shop online. I know some websites for used hardware in France are Leboncoin, Rakuten, eBay. New: Amazon.fr, Fnac, Darty, LDLC, Cdiscount, Topachat. If you can't be bothered optimizing the price and looking in both countries (since it does sound painful), feel free to mention trustworthy German websites so I don't get lost struggling to create accounts in another language and giving my payment information to shady places.
5. Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
No. I'll re-use mine for now.
6. Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
600-800€. I believe France includes VAT in prices.
After simulating a price estimation on PCpartpicker with random cheap parts + the refurbished RX 580, no HDD, no cooler, it seems I'll need at least 600€ due to the expensive 2TB SSD and 32GB RAM. 800€ isn't an absolute maximum, but it's what I paid for my old pre-built PC with a OS license in 2009 and it lasted me a long time (albeit a miserable time), so I'm eager to see to see what that gets me nowadays. Plus it stings to pay a lot for a dying game genre because companies whom I hate force me to upgrade.
The leftover budget perhaps could be spent on: more protection on the power supply so it doesn't damage my storage drives after a power outage, if that is even how it works (and how much would such safety cost?). It's rare but inevitably happens randomly a few times a year, perhaps during bad weather.

Enough processor to run two games at once or other programs while gaming Maybe pick the refurbished RX 6600 for eye candy/future games/power saving.

7. WiFi or wired connection?
Wired.
8. Size/noise constraints?
Noise: preferably silent, but again, as a 2009 animal, I have no clue how controllable noise is. My PC, with only four fans in it (1 blowing out hot air to the back, 1 power supply, 1 processor stock cooler, 1 video card) has always sounded as if someone in the room next to me were blow-drying their hair or vacuum cleaning, so I've never heard what's the standard for "low noise" and how much silence costs, so if it costs a lot more, feel free to suggest several fan models. Of course I'll appreciate if it's silent just because I can hear my PC fans when I occasionally record song covers for fun, but besides that they haven't bothered me because it's not an annoying noise like coil whine, which is a sound I've only learned about recently while reading a review of a RX 6600 PowerFighter video card, I do hope not to hear that. I'm a gamer first so I prioritize cooling.
Size: no constraint, preferably enough to mount a couple HDDs, so better too big than too small.
9. Cololighting preferences?
Preferably: a basic black case, emitting as little visible light as possible in the dark. While it's heartbreaking since I love pink cases and pretty lights, I must blame it on biology; I currently use Cooler Master Elite 341 MicroATX Mid Tower Case and its darkness is the meta because it doesn't reflect light into my weak vampire gamer eyes. It's slightly behind my monitor so I have vision on a third of the side panel all the time.
I'd prefer no window, again regrettable because it's cool to monitor inside the case at a glance, but I fear I'll get blinded by whatever LED lingers inside of it.
I know humans aren't supposed to look at monitors in the dark but that's what works for me. Well lit rooms somehow tire me more, even at school. But here I've referred to myself as many things, human is not one of them. Perhaps I could work around this by placing something DIY in front light sources. So prioritize whatever case and fan has better cooling.
10. Any other specific needs?
Some questions: I've been torn on the debate about the two popular budget processors AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Core i3-12100F. I read that the 4 cores of 12100 are usually better at running a single game than the 6 cores of 3600 (which somehow is astronomically beloved by the PCpartpicker community). However I'll often have another program open such as Discord voice chat, YouTube on PotPlayer, a Chromium browser, watching Twitcth, or even a second game (low quality), so I can't just take the bare minimum for one game. Is that enough multi-tasking to warrant going for 6 cores? Are both of these processors overkill or too weak anyway? I'm just scared because I've only lived with 2 cores and just having the (terribly buggy) idle League of Legends launcher or Discord voice chat open cuts my performances by a lot. So as an ignorant normie who doesn't comprehend the other metrics such as GHz and threads, a 4-core processor doesn't look like a big jump after 14 years, though I could see it be just fine for users who run one game and no other program.
Here's my current system, if an archaeologist is curious what depth of Hell I come from. It was a pre-built PC I ordered for WoW and Aion at a small local tech store for Christmas 2009, for I believe about 800€: OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (they initially gave me 32bit, at least it was a legit license) CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 240. Thermal paste: Cooler Master IC Essential E1 (first and last replaced in 2014, yeah I really neglected it to be fair, I kept coping "I'll upgrade soon anyway") GPU: nVidia GeForce 9800 GT Motherboard: M4A78-VM (AM2) (2 RAM ports, max 8GB) RAM: 4GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (6-6-6-18) (overprice 80€ replacement from 2015 another overprice DIMM that only lasted a few months, hence why I lost trust in hardware sellers, I don't even know the even a brand name, initially I got 2+1GB Kingston that died after 4 years), HDD: 465GB Seagate ST3500410SV ATA Device (I'm so proud it's still alive) SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 1TB ATA Device (from 2022) PSU: PC ATX LITEON PE-6301-08AP 300W? (cheap replacement from a tech friend when mine broke around 2018). Monitor VA1913wm-4 (1360x768@60Hz)

Having Issues with your driver? Read here!
Before you start - Make sure you Submit Feedback for your Nvidia Driver Issue
There is only one real way for any of these problems to get solved, and that’s if the Driver Team at Nvidia knows what those problems are. So in order for them to know what’s going on it would be good for any users who are having problems with the drivers to Submit Feedback to Nvidia. A guide to the information that is needed to submit feedback can be found here.
Additionally, if you see someone having the same issue you are having in this thread, reply and mention you are having the same issue. The more people that are affected by a particular bug, the higher the priority that bug will receive from NVIDIA!!
Common Troubleshooting Steps

• Be sure you are on the latest build of Windows 10 or 11
• Please visit the following link for DDU guide which contains full detailed information on how to do Fresh Driver Install.
• If your driver still crashes after DDU reinstall, try going to Go to Nvidia Control Panel -> Managed 3D Settings -> Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance

If it still crashes, we have a few other troubleshooting steps but this is fairly involved and you should not do it if you do not feel comfortable. Proceed below at your own risk:

• A lot of driver crashing is caused by Windows TDR issue. There is a huge post on GeForce forum about this here. This post dated back to 2009 (Thanks Microsoft) and it can affect both Nvidia and AMD cards.
• Unfortunately this issue can be caused by many different things so it’s difficult to pin down. However, editing the windows registry might solve the problem.
• Additionally, there is also a tool made by Wagnard (maker of DDU) that can be used to change this TDR value. Download here. Note that I have not personally tested this tool.

If you are still having issue at this point, visit GeForce Forum for support or contact your manufacturer for RMA.
Common Questions

• Is it safe to upgrade to ? Fact of the matter is that the result will differ person by person due to different configurations. The only way to know is to try it yourself. My rule of thumb is to wait a few days. If there’s no confirmed widespread issue, I would try the new driver.

Bear in mind that people who have no issues tend to not post on Reddit or forums. Unless there is significant coverage about specific driver issue, chances are they are fine. Try it yourself and you can always DDU and reinstall old driver if needed.

• My color is washed out after upgrading/installing driver. Help! Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel -> Change Resolution -> Scroll all the way down -> Output Dynamic Range = FULL.
• My game is stuttering when processing physics calculation Try going to the Nvidia Control Panel and to the Surround and PhysX settings and ensure the PhysX processor is set to your GPU
• What does the new Power Management option “Optimal Power” means? How does this differ from Adaptive? The new power management mode is related to what was said in the Geforce GTX 1080 keynote video. To further reduce power consumption while the computer is idle and nothing is changing on the screen, the driver will not make the GPU render a new frame; the driver will get the one (already rendered) frame from the framebuffer and output directly to monitor.

Remember, driver codes are extremely complex and there are billions of different possible configurations. The software will not be perfect and there will be issues for some people. For a more comprehensive list of open issues, please take a look at the Release Notes. Again, I encourage folks who installed the driver to post their experience here... good or bad.

I know I messed up and I expect a lot of criticism, but I am desperate so I am asking for your help. I am unemployed and looking for a job, I applied for this software company and got into stage 1, which was a online test. Basically it consisted on 10 questions with multiple choice answers and numerical answers. I am a fresh grad and I found the test very hard, and I used ChatGPT to solve it without thinking about the consequences. I thought that a lot of developers rely on AI tools anyway. I know I shouldn't have, and I do not even want the job anymore at this point since I am clearly not good enough to pass the test on my own. What is worrying me is that I signed a NDA before doing the test, which stated to not seek help from others ot from AI tools, so I clealry breached the agreement since I prompted every question into ChatGPT. How worrying is this? Can they catch me and how? Can they ask OpenAI if someone prompted the exact questions and catch me? Does OpenAI share this information? The NDA mentioned a potential fine and lawsuit so I am really terrified at the moment, please help me
Note: my answers were only numbers and multiple choice questions so no text, hence they can't use a tool to detect Ai text, but I am scared that it may raise suspicion if every answer is correct or if they check each time with OpenAI

Hi everyone, For context im a 25 mtf i've start hrt for 8 months now and not diagnose with Adhd but always had difficulty to stay focus and subject to inattention. My question is, for the one with adhd, does hrt had an influence over the effect of adhd or am i just doing worse and worse for other reason ? The thing is its getting harder and harder to stay focused at work even though i love my job and want to do thing (im a software test engineer), i've got the attention span of a crack addict puppy and im being hit by a truck of shame and guilt each time im realising im not working. Even this text took more than hours to write because I wrote it during work and was switching between write test case, write this message, fold paper into things, guilt myself with shame and blank stare at my monitor while my brain was running amock with someone singing song meanwhile I was thinking of unrealastic scenario where stuff that cannot happend happend and how i can possibly deal with those. I always listen to music because other wise im just unable to think of only 1 subject, i watch video and podcast at night to avoid thinking. I don't know anymore if this is à true question or a vent, I just had an anxious attack few minutes ago and heading back home because of those probleme, i have a appoitment with my doc in 2 weeks about it. hope everything Will be fine in the meantime. Stay safe everyone thanks for listening, Nora. Ps: english isn't my mothertongue and my T9 want to translate everyrhing i wrote so sorry for the typo or cluncky wording.

I'm developing wearable assistive device in a research project (at a university, and with limited time, resources, and funding). For a new prototype I have head-mounted sensor unit, comprising of a depth camera and an IMU – which are powered by, and communicate with, a compute unit on a shoulder strap. I have two such prototypes up and running, but with some issues (see section below) that I want to address.
The camera uses MIPI CSI and requires 24 V and 3 A, and the IMU uses I2C. The compute unit includes a Jetson Nano developer kit, so it has flex connectors for MIPI CSI, along with USB ports, GPIOs and whatnot.
I want to all power and communication to go through a single cable, and this cable to be as light and flexible as possible. I also want the sensor unit to be as small and light as possible, and the entire solution to be fairly simple, and easy to implement (I have limited experience in PCB design and manufacturing, and no easy access to good troubleshooting tools). Breakout boards or devkits might be acceptable if they're not too bulky and can provide power @ 24 V 3 A (which I think is tricky to find).
My ideas so far have basically been to bridge the units either with a serdes (serializer-deserializer) pair through a coaxial cable which also provides power, or through USB (3 or 4). After some searching I found two very relevant complementary serdes reference designs from TI (https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-01130 and https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-01323). I haven't gone through them in great detail, but it seems like I should be able to manage these with my current skills and tools, and with only some slight modifications – the most difficult being to support 24 V input instead of 12 V; which I think either requires a redesign of the filters, or a step-up converter on the camera board. (I believe that I should be able to use the CSI I2C for the IMU instead of using a separate I2C bus like I do today.)
My question is basically, does this seem like a reasonable approach? Or am I overlooking a much simpler solution than designing, producing and testing two new boards?
More background and motivation As of now, the compute unit also includes has a custom interface board. The board has voltage regulators to produce the required 5 V for the Jetson Nano devkit, and 24 V for the camera. It also connects to a MIPI connector and extra I2C pins from the Jetson, and packs it, along with ground and power, into a ~1.2 m (~4 feet) relatively massive 20 core round IDC cable.
On the sensor unit, another custom board routes the IDC cable channels to the camera and the IMU respectively.
Not particularly surprisingly, given length and not-so-great impedance matching across connectors, cable, boards, and MIPI standard, this doesn't work perfectly. For a given reboot of the Jetson, it is about 50 % chance that I will get the data from the camera without issues; in the other cases I seem to get all pixels, but consisting of only zeroes. Only a reboot of the Jetson will change the setup from a working condition to a non-working, and vice versa – in either state, it does nothing to reboot and bring up the camera again, or to run the software again. (I have another identical prototype, except that the other one has half the cable length, and it has the same issue, and as frequently). (I have spent too much time already looking into why this is.)
For an assistive aid, user experience is vital – lest it will not be used – and so I'm aiming at evaluating the prototype for such in upcoming user studies. However, given that today's prototype only works half of the time, and that the 20 core round IDC both is heavy and relatively inflexible, it will likely not bring up any valuable feedback besides that those need to be addressed. I find it likely that the IDC might be the reason behind the communications issues, so since it is not a practical solution even if it was working, it seems reasonable to replace it before taking even more time trying to solve the issue.

Streamlining Your Morning Routine: The Sock Pairing Challenge

Facing a heap of unsorted socks is a mundane yet surprisingly complex challenge that many of us encounter in our daily routines. The task, which at first glance seems trivial, quickly unfolds into a problem of efficiency and order. Imagine beginning each day with a pile of socks, each pair mingled within a chaotic assortment of colors, patterns, and sizes. This scenario is not just a test of patience but a practical problem that demands a systematic solution. The act of sorting and pairing socks can be seen as an everyday algorithmic challenge, a puzzle that bridges the gap between the mundane and the mathematical principles of sorting and efficiency.
The quest for an efficient sock pairing strategy extends beyond mere household organization; it touches upon the principles of algorithmic thinking and optimization. As we delve into solving this seemingly simple task, we embark on a journey through decision-making processes, pattern recognition, and the application of logical strategies to enhance our daily routines. The objective is not only to minimize the time spent on this routine task but also to develop a methodology that can be applied to various aspects of life, from managing tasks to solving complex problems, showcasing the profound impact of algorithmic thinking in our everyday lives.

Exploring Algorithmic Efficiency in Daily Tasks

The task of pairing socks from a pile efficiently transcends its apparent simplicity, revealing deeper insights into algorithmic thinking and optimization in everyday life. At its core, this challenge mirrors the fundamental principles of computer science—specifically, the search for efficient algorithms to sort and process data. In a practical context, the sock-pairing problem requires us to devise a method that minimizes the time and effort needed to find matching pairs from a disorganized collection. This scenario serves as an excellent metaphor for the types of problems algorithms are designed to solve: transforming chaotic data into organized, actionable information. By applying algorithmic logic to such a mundane task, we not only streamline our morning routine but also engage in a form of cognitive exercise that sharpens our problem-solving skills.
Furthermore, the sock-pairing problem illustrates the importance of categorization and pattern recognition—key aspects of algorithmic efficiency. By categorizing socks by their attributes, such as color and pattern, we can more easily identify matches, a strategy that algorithms employ to efficiently sort and search through data. This approach highlights the value of algorithms in enhancing our decision-making processes, allowing us to apply similar logic to more complex life and work-related challenges. Ultimately, the pursuit of an efficient sock-pairing strategy teaches us valuable lessons about the power of algorithmic thinking to simplify and improve not just specific tasks, but our overall approach to problem-solving in various aspects of life.
