currently using Linux booted from usb to flash SD cards because I don't want Windows putting its fucking System Volume Information on them

wow look how much clearer I could be

quite funny that there's now a knockoff of ugreen called uyellow

needless to say it will be the queer and abused who are hurt by this

haven't seen much talk of this but this fuckin sucks. yet more moral panic driven politics pushing the isolation and control of young people in the name of their so-called protection

so after some experimentation it seems to only happen with a monitor connected via the usb c-display port adapter. using only hdmi i have had no crashes, even at 4k 120hz. so i CAN keep it stable but at the cost of using my 2nd monitor...
hmmmm that gpu purchase is looming ever closer isn't it.....

need to like hire a twink to clean my flat or something

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

trying to do a bit of work on one of my gb linker tools on the new machine. can i get it to compile? can i fucking bollocks

Haven't heard from the cunt again today

thinking about things

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
