Same, already but another 120 hours in!

😅

Thank you! I love drawing bean shapes for some reason. Probably head trauma.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I really started progressing this year when I began drawing daily. Getting a phone with a good stylus helped remove barriers as I can draw anywhere. The second one was drawn on the phone.

I’ve been on and off drawing since I was little but never really met much progress. After meeting Jim Lee at a comic con where he talked about needing to draw daily to get better I decided to get this phone so I could do that. Not a huge fan of Samsung but love being able to draw anywhere.

How is going:

Thank you!

Oops, sorry!

Lol thanks!

QuACk! qUAcK!

Poor Joe Pesci!

You’re welcome!

Depends on a few variables. But the pattern is the same, track on a graph both temps and usage of your CPU (might as well do GPU as well) and if you see one of two things:

First frame rate drop and then come back look at the graph, did usage drop and thermal drop and once temp got to a given level performance came back. To fix start with blowing everything out with canned air and ensuring all the fans are working. Fix any that aren’t and see if that helps. If it doesn’t help and it’s the CPU look into redoing the cooler on the CPU.

Second thing you might see is performance is better and then drops and sustains at the lower level once thermals hit a given level. This is most common on mobile devices like a laptop but has been seen on pre-built PCs from some vendors (Dell, CyberPower, most often) in which case upgrading the cooling after the above.

In the end this is unlikely but start looking at the least expensive route first (like this) and then look into upgrading.

As the other responses point out mix-matching RAM speeds isn’t a good idea, most mother boards will just run both sets at the lower speed and it’s not a problem just not optimal. Some custom boards (Dell most often) aren’t smart enough for this and it’ll introduce extra stuttering.

In the same app you can track ram usage, if the stuttering is worse when you use more than half than less than half this is most often the cause and replacing RAM so they’re both the same speed (preferably from the same company) is the most frequent fix.

Upgrading the GPU is probably next if the above isn’t the issue or doesn’t get you the performance you want. If you do make sure your PSU can handle the extra draw. Pre-builts (Dell mostly) often put in PSUs that are just powerful enough barely run what’s installed and things will start to fail if you exceed it’s power output.

Most pre-builts are just fine, don’t let elitists convince you otherwise. A few are known for taking shortcuts but most are just fine.

Good luck!!

Also make sure you’re not running into thermal throttling.

Open hardware monitor is my go to for that.

Depending on who made the pre-built it’s not uncommon to start running into that at this age. If you are then solving it could be very cheap.

Another thread on this recommended waterfox. Based on Firefox. Might be worth checking out. I’m using it for now.

To add to your comment, ceramic window tint is a night and day difference. My steering wheel, shifter, and all couldn’t be touched after work. I wore driving gloves to get home. With the tint there slightly warm and the AC doesn’t take half the drive to catch up, the car is cool by the first stop light.

Maybe they should sell cars with that by default instead?

SaaS occasionally makes sense but I’m overall against it. Hardware SaaS has been dumb as fuck since AMD tried to charge us extra to unlock cores we already had on the chip and like 6 seconds until we fished out how to get around it.

It’s possible to get cars as new as 2019 where you can just pull a fuse. But it starts to get tricky.

Example my C7 Vette it only took about that (it was a bit of an ordeal to not brick the car) but it’s not connected to shit anymore.

As a Lemmy and Duck Duck Go user, this is a desired feature!

You’re welcome…? It’s a great app, I do the yearly subscription thing hoping to help fund the development. I look forward to the day when I can use it for everything!
