EU politics 

politico.eu/article/european-p

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.....

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 github.com/tzlion/gblinkdx/rel

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

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.....

Show thread

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
