  1. The bios is not complicated, and nothing was written to the bios to get audio over HDMI, that’s a standard feature and has been since... I think Nvidia fermi refresh and amd following shortly after. The most common issue I’ve ever seen people have with APUs in systems with dgpus is that some programs will switch between the two and run passthrough via the gpu and it’s just a nightmare. I’ve seen SL do it before on vega apus where it seemingly randomly reconfigures itself to run the APU if it isn’t disabled. Its best just to make sure or at least ask them before it becomes a problem after an automatic driver update or whatever. I also wouldn’t trust that power supply further than I could throw it, atx 2.31, 80+ white and only on a technicality, swap that out for something decent before you upgrade any component in that system any time in the future, it’s not 2008 anymore. That’s all only partially a related matter however.
  2. You shouldn’t need to manage anything in the radeon control panel, most of it has no effect on older games like SL anyway. make sure your APU is disabled in the bios since you have the RX 580
  3. Ew, politics ok, here’s mine: -Anyone who crosses the any US border illegally should be shot on sight, men, women, children, dogs, don’t care. No prison expenditures, ammo is cheap. -However if you immigrate through the legal means we have in place, awesome, bring your food, I’m an American and I live to eat your food. -Farming families need to be tax exempt, they make almost nothing worth taxing and are vital to the US domestic economy. -Circumcision is genital mutilation and should be banned nationwide, ***** your religious tradition, and if you defend it as a choice you are advocating for the mutilation of infants and you should hang yourself promptly. -Nuclear power needs more funding, just overall, partially state run power to get rid of coal and oil burning power. -Michelle Obama’s healthy school meal plan didn’t make kids eat healthier, it made them not eat what they are served. Kids don’t like skim milk and vegetables, they need greasy pizza and chocolate 2%. -The next time anyone starts some crap in the Middle East, glass their city and be done with it. If they can still retaliate then glass it again. Not worth sending a single American soldier anywhere else in the world. -Speaking of which, cut ties with our ungrateful allies who can’t manage their own military and rely on the USA as the key player in NATO. When we struggled to keep our crap in Japan and South Korea managed well, both those nations picked up the slack automatically. We were not the dominant force, we were just help, as we should be. The UK and EU can honestly ***** off with expecting joint military funding from the US. -Israel, just leave. Let them genocide eachother and be done with it. We give them obscene amounts of money and weapons and get absolutely nothing in return but an ally who we essentially created, and who keeps shooting children in the desert. some other hot takes: -If you still use Facebook in 2020 you’re out of touch, nobody uses centralized social media anymore, get with the times grandma. -If your website has a popup that won’t let me see the content without disabling my ad blocker, I’m just going to flag it as an ad for my adblocker to block. -America is a nation of prudes, religion should never be allowed in politics, churches shouldn’t be tax exempt And with that I hope I either get forum banned so I don’t have to see these retarded posts ever again, or it’ll get the thread locked as being argumentative.
  4. “Maybe if I make my text big, people will care about what I have to say!”
  5. They probably put it into the one for non meats, I used to work at a Burger King and there’s a fryer for fish/chicken and one for just fries and onion rings. Specifically for the sake of vegetarians and vegans. However I can say that if their impossible whopper isn’t microwaved, then it goes through the same broiler as all the beef, meaning it’s in contact with beef a LOT. But I’m not certain, that was years ago, when their only vegan option was the terrible veggie burger that was microwaved
  6. Right here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/tardigrade/18160705
  7. I just cannot bring myself to eat fake meat, I value myself as top of the food chain, I would be insulting all the prior animals humanity as a whole had eaten if I ate an impossible burger. Now excuse me while I go to White Castle to eat a dozen tiny hamburgers for lunch.
  8. Google exists. And many of those things are extremely well documented. Its better to have the ability to edit your group policies than be stuck with whatever god awful configuration Microsoft sticks you with after an update gone wrong.
  9. 1) depends how you play, some people treat it as a second life, some play it as a social game 2) soon, hopefully, though not a massive deal 3) all social platforms took a hit with the rise of social media, SL stagnated but it’s still pretty popular 4) LL has done what they think was the best move, to mostly leave things to the users, and has done well with what input they do have 5) SL is expensive, but things like premium and advertisement fees don’t affect the majority of the users, the users who do use those features seem to be against the prices though 6) premium is pricy but nothing too crazy for any kind of virtual “membership” 7) it happens, just report and ignore, keep your irl and sl separated and it doesn’t matter much 8 ) SL as mentioned has stagnated, it doesn’t seem to grow much but it’s far from dying 9) clothes for furry avatars is a pain in the butt and every day I come closer to fully accepting ye olde furry cultural standard and just going bare fur, dear god are digitigrade pants impossible
  10. I will begin this decade right, hungover. im already trashed beyond belief, you have no idea how much autocorrect is working it’s magic right now
  11. the worst part is the movie Spielberg concept from the 90's when they wanted to do it animated, but there was this idea in hollywood that traditional media animation was dead rip
  12. Any RTX branded card is good for SL as that’s at minimum an RTX 2060 which is a pretty good performer. Obviously a 2070 or 2080 would be better but would offer pretty minimal steps up in performance for SL at least for a much higher price. Windows 10 plays fine with SL, if you have the choice go for the “pro” edition which unlocks a lot of windows tinkering features which can be useful. I wouldn’t really suggest an Alienware prebuilt overall though because they’re pretty expensive for the raw specs you get, Dell has an Inspiron gaming line which offers a lot more entry level and mid tier systems for much cheaper. If you can get an Inspiron gaming system with the same specs, there’s not much special the alienware line offers over it.
  13. gotta follow the scale as far as i am concerned, neko has never really been furry, ears and a tail arent really the same thing of course we do need to add an extra section onto this for the above mentioned "eldrich horror" category
  14. I feel the struggle of losing stuff in my inventory, I spent a few hours organizing everything and I still can never find all my custom alphas because I named them all random numbers on the fly
  15. it was the aircraft carrier of all things, and in all my nerdom i can tell you that the low poly design was representative of CVN6 and not CVN65 Social islands are a wonderful place.
  16. Some of the best I’ve seen: -6 Kermit the frogs who gave other people Kermit the frog avatars to join them, like a froggy virus -a guy who’s avatar was the USS Enterprise on legs -Gandalf the gray, but about the size of a can of soda -an avatar made entirely out of guns -a naked furry at a social island, who when asked to remove his dong, apologized and replaced it with a toy train -a to-scale housefly -three twi fox avatars standing on top of eachother filling a trench coat, with a mannequin head on top -a sentient rock who had to be thrown to move
  17. got to play around with a much higher end system today and crank up settings
  18. if your OS is updated to be compatible with at least some version of the LL viewer or firestorm for OSX then it should run whether it runs well or not is another situation, i can say with certainty that SL will run on lower end laptops from even a few years prior, but thats on windows, i dont know what its going to be like on OSX it has a later core2duo and a geforce 9400m, so it should perform... not totally awful? for certain on windows, not great at all but it should be somewhat playable with the settings slapped to minimum
  19. Non mainstream solutions, XP is still usable for quite a lot in nearly 2020 because of a lot of non Microsoft, individual user expansion. Things like video codec packs to play webm in browsers or mkv files, browsers like New Moon or MyPal that are up to date for XP, there’s even an entire user made service pack 4 for XP. If people want to use it, they’ll find a way to keep it alive. Hell, there’s a small population of people still using Windows 98SE/ME/2000 because you can still install a fairly functional web browser on them. And if you can browse the web, watch videos and maybe play a few games, then you have all the bases covered for 90% of home users. The difference is that the jump from XP to Vista and 7 had a lot more people jump ship to 7. Rather than now with 7 to 8.1 and 10, there is a substantial amount of people still using 7. Almost 30% of the windows market share in fact. A lot of that is enterprise but many of those are still home users. And for many of them it’s because theyre running older machines or just don’t want to upgrade because they don’t want windows 10 for one reason or another. I would quite literally rather eviscerate myself with this laptop than ever use Windows 10 because it’s a bloated pile of lukewarm spaghetti code that I am amazed functions at all. I’ll be using Windows 7 until it reaches the state of XP currently where less popular software such as SL ceases to function on it at all regardless of the addition of user crated patches. The nonexistent chance of me getting drive by malware from some rouge advertisement I would never see because it’s 2019 and adblockers exist, is still better than purposely buying and installing the spyware that Windows 10 is.
  20. I have not used antivirus, let alone even windows defender in probably over a decade. I was using XP daily until the legacy SL viewer stopped working, and even up until recently I was using Vista SP2 until the cheap SSD I had died. I am not technologically illiterate, viruses and malware and all that don’t just show up out of nowhere. I can say from extensive experience that Microsoft dropping support for an operating system means absolutely nothing for any competent user. I don’t think I’ve ever even updated Windows 7 on anything past SP1. Even vista I kept box stock until I tried SL which wanted SP2.
  21. Updates are not important, I intend to use SP1 at that even. I just prefer it greatly over windows 10 and it runs a lot smoother on this relatively old hardware. I was going to run some flavor of Linux but I needed a few windows only utilities.
  22. If any of you are using a laptop/desktop with Intel HD3000 integrated graphics i would appreciate any info to shed some light on its performance in the meantime. Just got my new X220 in the mail, dont really have time to set everything up tonight and the next few days are going to be fairly busy. Windows 10 and the mechanical hard drive are gonna be MIA soon and replaced with Windows 7 on an SSD. I currently play on Intel GMA 950, from 2005/2006, so HD3000 is definitely a step up at about 5/6 years older. So any performance upgrade at this point is good.
