    Oddballz eggs used to be on the internet

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping to see if there's a way to get the extra eggs that used to be online for the game Oddballz. I used to play Oddballz as a kid, and now I have the opportunity with the next generation. I used PCem to install w98 with working drivers thanks to PhilsComputerLab. I've...

    Next Crop of MSI Project Zero Motherboards to Implement CAMM2 DDR5 Memory

    Flatter RAM means more space for air coolers, which is a bonus. On the other hand, having all ones RAM on a single board means no expandability. Sure one can get a larger quantity, but you have to remove the old, now useless CAMM whereas before, you can just add DIMM's. I would be more...

    Free Games Thread

    Disagree. Free games via prime are perfectly fine here. You don't see anyone complaining about the free epic ones and egs is basically malware.

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 30 fps problem

    I tried on my side and it ran at 60 fps fine. Try checking your refresh rate on your TV, check to make sure you have the right cable revision for your tv's resolution (as in older hdmi cables only sending 30hz to 4k), or maybe are you using an emulator? Sorry for the phone "screenshot,"...

    24-pin connector won’t snap onto motherboard

    Put a piece of plastic underneath like a shim so the mobo doesn't flex when inserting. Then remove the plastic after the plug is fully inserted.

    HP Workstations Owners Club

    I'm very interested in knowing what converter you got, if you can specify. What CPU did you upgrade to? If you didnt upgrade the cpu yet, I would recommend E5-2698v3, which were $22 USD about a week ago on Amazon.

    Scratches on the processor. How critical is it?

    From the pictures, it doesn't seem to have penetrated any important layers. Best way to find out if it works is to use it and see.

    About to lose my mind with crashes/hangs: Is my 13700K dying?

    Can you provide any "bugcheck" events from event viewer that happen around the same time as event 41? First thing you should do in the case of any instability is boot into safe mode and see if the failure happens again. In my experience, 98% of bsod's since w7 days are driver related. However...

    [US] Ryzen 7800x3d $196 with bundle at Microcenter

    I must fall into the impulsive buyer category since I always need another screwdriver, magnetic telescoping rod, micro SD card, or 20 more 8gb USB drives. Seriously though, I might drive a few hours to mine this weekend since the deal is basically free mobo and free ram with CPU.

    Size on Disk Excessively Different than Size

    The issue turned out to be the the default file system option on Vera Crypt. Selecting NTFS instead of exFAT fixed the issue.

    Size on Disk Excessively Different than Size

    Checked RAID stripe size and it was 64kb, formatted as ntfs 4kb, and restored some data. Looks like it's normal sizes: Size: 2.68 TB (2,947,426,839,102) Size on disk: 2.68 TB (2,947,816,177,664) Reformatted again with a new veracrypt key which will take another 13 hours (whole disk...

    Windows 11 Now Officially Adware as Microsoft Embeds Ads in the Start Menu

    Not having a banner showing its an ad seems illegal. I kind of thought the web search was already ads, but this takes it much further.

    Size on Disk Excessively Different than Size

    That's os iso's, github code, software installation files, lightweight software packages, knowledge base articles saved locally. It's not very much for 15 years of information. Of course I would forget about raid stripe sizes... :( I haven't done it in 6 years. Thank you. I'll verify that too.

    Size on Disk Excessively Different than Size

    Both volumes were "default" (4kB?) when formatted. I will try with different sizes just in case though and report back in a few days.
