today in niche developments I released a new version of gblinkdx that allows you to override the auto-calculated port access delay which was causing connection problems in some setups https://github.com/tzlion/gblinkdx/releases/tag/v0.6
I have had a very stressful day at work today so I'm going to give myself an evening off from chasing this prick as a treat
@slushiecat things I haven't figured out how to talk about yet
@mavica_again i think no thanks
whatever i end up getting i want it to last a while so i'm gonna try to get something like.. recent mid-range i guess. i have not done much research on it yet
thanks for the offer though
argh this is so frustrating to debug, it happens so rarely and unpredictably
it's PROBABLY the igpu & hopefully the drivers but it COULD be a HW fault but it's so hard to confirm
i could just bite the bullet & buy a dedicated gpu (which i was gonna do eventually) & sweep all this under the rug.....
after a full day of no crashes & even failing to trigger one by stressing the gpu (3d benchmark + streaming video + many browser tabs at the same time) it again randomly happened while web browsing tonight... but it actually recovered (w/display drivers disabled) without a sleep/wake cycle this time
@vikxin i'm hoping it won't come to that & we can get it resolved before the next rent is due (on the 1st) but we will see I guess
@vikxin yeah i hate that kind of half arsed shit. if they were TOTALLY absent it'd be like okay fuck it whatever I'll take things into my own hands. but they are still involved and everything still has to go through them, it just takes fucking ages to get them to do something that would only take 5 minutes to actually resolve. its so frustrating
i messaged him again asking hey what's going on do you still want to meet and he just said can we do it tomorrow instead
okay!!!!! thanks for wasting my evening dickhead!!!!!
guess what happened!!!!! i hate this shit it just fucks my entire evening because i'm just sat here waiting to hear from the prick
update i messaged him about it & he replied asking if i was free this evening to which i replied yes anytime & you would think that would mean things are moving and we're going to meet and resolve this. but with this guy there's a 50/50 chance he will just ghost me for the rest of the day
@Moot i've watched a bunch of them & i'd say the disney channel theme one is the best for like, transcending me not giving a shit about the subject matter going in
also the garfield dark ride one is only half an hour & includes people being gay on the garfield dark ride
