uh. hm. maybe it's neither. because now both are working again... ... granted I did switch the HDMI (in monitor 1) to DVI cable for just a straight DVI to DVI cable... and now it's working. bloody heck I didn't want to deal with pc crap today but here I am I guess aaaaa. at least it's working again now
oh fuck. i'm a dingus.
the primary monitor is actually connected with DVI (at pc) to HDMI (at monitor)... meanwhile the secondary monitor WAS connected via DVI (at monitor) to HDMI, connected to an HDMI to Mini-HDMI converter at the PC. I've just tested the DVI to HDMI and it works just fine... meaning either the Mini-HDMI converter plug is broken...
...or the port on my graphics card is -_-;;
i am a couple versions behind with the gtx drivers so I hope this fixes it and it's only not working because windows maybe got an update and went "LOL NOPE WHAT'S A SECOND MONITOR AGAIN HAHAHA" and the drivers went "yo I'm right here" but Windows forgot how to talk to that particular bit of the drivers for some reason because it uses an older standard?? I dunno. Sometimes I think windows is like a pokemon, it only knows four moves at a time and forgets some to make way for new ones.
this is after a reboot as well because always try a reboot first. it didn't help.
windows literally doesn't detect the second monitor. it only wants to detect one (and being iwndows it just says they're generic pnp monitors. ugh. I'm SURE I had drivers for them. Geforce's settings say it's a real monitor... bloody hell)
oh goddammit windows 10 is suddenly not detecting my second monitor.
and I know it's not the monitors, and I'm pretty sure it's not the graphics card. because my primary monitor worked (via HDMI to miniHDMI), but not my secondary one (DVI to DVI), but the secondary one (via HDMI to HDMI) worked just fine with my Rpi3b.
So I tested a different DVI-DVI cable. Plugged it in, worked!... but then my primary monitor turned off and won't turn on. fucksake. Trying new drivers for the gtx970.
LB: SERVICE POKÉMON...
Holy shit, my mind is opened. I am enlightened.
And you’d think, “Oh, just like service dogs, right?” but it could go so much deeper.
Service Psychic Types to help cure insomnia or intrusive thoughts.
Service Fire Types for low income houses during the winter.
Service Fighting Types for manual labor you’re no longer able to perform.
Service Fairy Types as cuddly, more potent antidepressants as they blast you with Fairy Wind when you’re down.
THINK ABOUT IT...
okay so... hacknet has a silly little cookieclicker minigame you can find as ... well, as part of one of the missions in it. you CAN play it. it lets you play it.
...turns out you can goddamn break it too without even having to hack anything.
I bought so many of the final upgrade that it overflowed and actually started REDUCING my points. I am now in... massive negative figures and can't even click the free "upgrade" XD
LB: whoa, 5 years later, the game got released!
It's the one that famously was almost a cringey appropriative trainwreck (?) of Hopi culture but the author finally bailed on that concept at the last minute.
Disgruntled trashpanda trying to make Level 10 corporate employee by katamari damacy'ing the whole town sounds much cooler tbh
