Same here in Canada. I think its legitimate learners. Not sure why you think age has anything to do with it, theres no max age to learn to drive. Hell, my late grandma didn’t get her licence/learners permit until she was in her 60s.

Could be related to an influx of immigrations as well, plenty of people didn’t have the luxury to get a drivers licence or own a vehicle.

That or people are just too lazy to remove them haha.

Haha found th issue, buddy wasn’t saving and confirming the bios setting changes. Made sure he did this time and it’s running as expected with the gen 4 option.

Yeah im thinking a similar thought. Ill see if he can locate one to test with. If not I’ll send him to a local shop so they can test it. Unfortunately lives 1000km, otherwise id beable to do some better testing for him haha!

Thanks bud!

Yep k series has igpu, igpu works fine.

Output works fine from the 2080 if in the 4x slot, detects in windows and all is good with the driver installation.

It just straight up doesn’t detect the GPU in device manager at all, and the driver installer didnt detect it only while in the top pcei 5x slot.

Sorry for the rushed response, at work atm.

Unfortunately a lot of consumers don’t understand this. Even if they use “pro” apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

Let’s be real bud, there’d be a Tims on each side of the bridge, and ones always outta chocolate timbits.

1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fob cloning, etc. without forking out cash to do so through the so called “proper channels”.

2: not that I’ve seen, and from they software they do use it seems mainly in house additions.

Though im not super into the scene, and i see it growing rapidly over the next few years seeing manufacturers keep doing some scummy shit to lock down their products.

Edit: fat fingered post before i finished typing it out oops.

Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

I enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.

OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you’re interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.

PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.

If they study the UFO, does that just make it a FO?

Damn all these comments discrediting the 2, just like all the NA migrants discredit Native Americans rights.

Talk about doubling down on bigotry towards a race of people. Sheeesh, some of y’all are hypocritical.

Yea its doable. Really depends on the games anti-cheat. You’d want to check each game.

Battle Eye based anti cheat games like R6S and Tarkov gave me issues last time i tried a similar setup. That was a few years back however, and with valves proton push, much of the compatibility has improved since then.

Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It’s dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.

I agree its a load of garbage. But that wasn’t the point of my statement vs. the directly quoted protion of the article i was referencing and reaponding to. The article list those issues as defaco issues, which they are solveable as i stated and was pointing out. Which occur in other OSs. Not to the extent of the garbage of windows 11.

Nothing i stated is untrue. You took the meaning and spun the context of my statement and spun it into me defending microsoft and windows11. Which i never did once.

Well of course. Some bozo said i lied, then miss-quoted me, then tried to discredit me based off their own made up bullshit.

Sorry for standing up for myself i guess haha?

Yep i agree. That is why i prefer using Linux distros as my general use OSs.

Was just mainly pointing out the articles fallacies in their reasoning from the section i specifically quoted.

Depends on user competencies with computers. It really isn’t difficult to full remove. Its even easier to disable like you mentioned, and for most common users, out of site out of mind is a fine option.

Now i do think having to do so is dogshit and should not have to be the case. I’m just saying what i specifically quoted from the article, are not fully true.
