lmao, Arizona’s con is weird but the cosplay is next level by far.

I mean… You aren’t wrong.♎

You can tell it’s spring, the plot bunnies frolicking and blooming all over the place.

I’ll second this motion.  🎂

Thank you, guys      
I spent the evening at a stand up comedy show with my sisters, and it was absolutely brilliant. They are both mothers, so getting a night off in the city for themselves isn’t an easy thing, especially not on a school night, so it was even more fun to get to spend time with them alone, with no kids, even though I absolutely adore my nephews and nieces

Luckily, it did start acting up after an update (which IIRC included video drivers).  As the notes mentioned g-sync, and my issues had sync issues in them when piped through my KVM, my shrewd guess is that it was a bad driver (or something not properly configured).  So, downgrading the drivers back to the old ones will likely fix it (at least for now).

If your computer started acting up without you doing some other change to it first, I wouldn’t have my hopes raised too high.  And if the problem stuck around on your main computer after a card swap, especially if the removed card worked on your other machine (you never said,) then I would be looking at something on the main system board.
If you did a software patch or driver update to the O/S recently, rolling that back will hopefully roll the problem away.  Otherwise, hope for something “cheap and stupid,” like a memory module or different accessory card starting to go bad and impinging on system resources needed by the video card for the video to work correctly.
Good luck, whatever it turns out to be.

Overall, this machine has been very stable, rock solid, to the point that I’d only have to reboot due to power outages (ie not on battery backup) or kernel/driver updates.  That’s why it was odd to be in a position to have to reboot daily/hourly when I was used to 60/90 days.  Fingers crossed the driver downgrade works, lets me defer pricey upgrades.

I switched cards with my other machine (same make & model GPU), and it still had issues.  (One of my monitors would lock onto a solid color until it decides to go away or I reboot.) So I’m rebuilding the OS to see if that sorts out the issue.  It’s a recent development, some quirkiness, so it could easily be a driver problem.
As a fall back, yes, new card, but that’d also mean new power supply and possibly a new circuit to handle the increased demand.

Time to look at the newest gen boards?

Years ago, while visiting a friend & his GF, we went into a steak place, pretty fancy, one look at the menu prices ($50 to start), it was like “nope”.  Went back to go with a frozen pizza (cooked, of course), way better decision.

I’m not a fancy restaurant sort of person.  Firstly the prices are stupid.  Secondly, I feel out of place in them.  I don’t drink alcohol or coffee, but I do enjoy a good hot chocolate.  And I really don’t give a toss how fancy the food looks, only what it tastes like.  It’s all going to look the same the next day anyway.

I find those places going “take-out” only to be rather annoying evolution post-pandemic.  It’s like… I can cook myself, so the point of going out to eat is the company & social aspect.
For when I’m driving long haul, I want the dining room as a “break” during driving, as my butt’s already in the car seat long enough.

Shh!  I was trying to spook everybody else! 

Me?  I’d rather friends be around the BBQ grilling up round bits of Jessie for cheeseburgers.

Fancy?   I’m eating at a table, right?

I don’t mind fancy restaurants for a big event, or for a get-together with people I haven't seen in ages, but I’m much happier at local places and diners, to be honest. As long as the food is good, I’m going to enjoy myself even if the ice cream didn’t come from certified organic milk brought to me by a cow named Jessie, with a bit of gold leaf on top so I won’t mind paying $100 for that scoop.

Well you’ve got a fair amount of time then.
 

The loss of some themes are due to obsolescence.  With the current version of the forums some older themes broke and had no updates to fix them.
