Throw away 2

TLDR: I might need to remove my second drive to install windows 11.

Biggie guess, plus I'm clumsy and could ruin something.

?? would marking it "offline" be good enough?

This is a double-biggie guess on top of my other biggie guesses!!

But it beats extracting physically.

Yes

You Can!!

(No they can't (make a decent installation program)!

Let me wallow in my crapulence until something else dire happens, hmm

END

(the rest of this is archival BS)

 

Well La Dee Da (useless so far)

I predict hordes of "I have no problems" people

One of the most profound statements in hissstory
IOW if you have a prebuilt 
Dell, HP, whatever, you're welcome into the Kingdom.
If not, Outer darkness, weeping-gnashing

Unless someone prints a post about the exact settings for a DIY computer, the future seems bleak.

" not to worry, I installed (insert dictionary+ history of world) and it worked"

Bah! 

A 50,000 word article saying "we don't know"

(severe editing down)

Because I'm in a village full of pontificators who have no clue, and "Memory integrity" (it has many names) has been known to cause problems in the past.

But TBA

Because, ???

Throw-away: sweatpants

 Bit of fluff I don't care to dwell upon, but I need pants, loose-fitting ones, possibly with an elastic band.
Sweatpants?
So I ask the internet which to buy,

and they quickly respond with thousand-dollar pants.

eight-hundred-dollar pants.

Maybe rap stars have to look ghetto authentic while still showing they have bling (I'm guessing)

You buy empty trucks, why not thousand-dollar pants?

Ugly guy in an oversized empty truck, who sees his pants?

Barcalounger couture

I'm gonna guess 35% hated them, 35% bought them for an elderly relative (and they said they liked them)
95% never sweat in them

Are they called "sweatpants" because they make you sweat?

"Fleece" indeed.

What to wear in 90F heat, while waiting for buses.

My favorite of all time pants were pull-up jeans (but you had to be 5 or 6)

OK maybe that's too personal, but sweatpants in summer sounds stupid, I don't know.

Not a zombie yet, in a home.

"inaccessible boot device" [click] [dead CPU] Motherboard (I've got a fucking-fancy motherboard)

"CPU Error (48)"

shut down, restart, "Undoing..." 

So, uhm, Arcane BIOS setting is really pissing off windows 11, not doing my PC much good either.

"Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900101: Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22000.51 (co_release)."

Totally vague advice givers dispense boiler-plate advice when they have no idea.

Did you say grace first?

"mother, I choose the danger"

You gotta know by now I get random quotes from old movies in my head.
"No it can't"
(ain't fittn, aint fittn, aint fittn.)
(Aint fittn.)

On the plus side, it doesn't green screen after disabling, uhm, well whatever I disabled (above)

On the negative side, it's getting much more vague as to why it's pissed now.

0x80070001 (not the number but it looks like it)

Pardon me! all to hell, I didn't know I had two BIOSes, setup and user.
Just where do I find this "User"?
"I don't think I like your attitude", women of the world are saying.
I'm bowing out of this before I ruin what's left of my PC.
(Beee sides, no one is saying anything about enable, disable, they just say that they are not amused and won't install.

Did I wash my hands, did I floss?

It's time (it says) for a restart.

But it'll be like a girlfriend, bored at the fair, fixing to get into a mood, but she won't say why.

WHY aren't you happy, Dear??

"I don't like your attitude, take me home!!"

WHICH is why you should never ever go on a date to disneyworld.

This horse is dead, stop beating it!

But I must conquer it, because it is there.

Damn the torpedoes.

Or I could say "fuck this shit" and wait a couple days for the patch to the patch

(because when some BOW complains, stuff'll get done and quickly)

Four hours, 6000 calories later,

what do I know?

The typical TPM has lots of settings, woe to the newbie.

art class in my head

 Everyone knows that perfect woman you stared at, and this is an attempt to describe her, in awkward detail.

Her thighs are bent forward, which begs the question, is that an affected pose or does she do that naturally?

Insert paragraph here with thoughts too vague to put into a  paragraph:

Shoulders: An FBI (ncis/stereotypical cop show) TV program has a lady walking stiffly, with slightly padded shoulders.

*Is* she born that way, 

or did she learn to walk that way at some school-for-actors?

It looks unnatural, it's probably attractive to some (the director and the producer), the perfect law-enforcement employee.

Her shoulders thrown back, as if pinned to an invisible wall.

WTF? (I would be a year looking for her online picture, since I do not know her name or her show.

She supports some two-dimensional male lead.)

(I don't know if that's her or some similar actor)

*I* like women with (I just noticed) an "S"-shaped back to compliment her slanting thighs.

Not skinny thighs either.

But her hips shouldn't look exaggerated, they should compliment her waist, not overwhelm it.

Better picture needed, but this woman is very hippy.

Is that a good thing?

 

Her shoulders should cup forward slightly to compensate for her bent-back-back (bent, uh, never mind)

In other words, the perfect-woman never stands straight, flat, she's slanted, curved, bent.

The protagonist in my game is never sexy enough...It's like staring at your sister.
Should she bulk up, should she wear a dress??

What is the "Ideal" resolution for "Sims 4"?

It boggles the reader's mind how many answering posts say, 

that they have no problems, and isn't it your video-card? 

And here's a kindergarten-style tutorial on how to change resolutions.

The confidently stewpid out to save the world, 

one "I have no problems" post at a time.

The problem on the blackboard is, "1920x1080" (I've googled it and some girl says to set it that way.)

WITH "DSR" (because, why-the-hell-not)

EXCEPT (I'm so pissed at this) It's tough getting a decent explanation for this:

My monitor reports, no matter my little tweaks, my resolution is a constant "3840x2160", 

but Windows thinks it's at 

And that's great, fine, whatever.

But now we go into Sims (which like I said, I set to 1920x1080)

if I set DSR to "2" (which is, 1920*1080 times two), um,

*(uh)* o BLAST...

Plus it might be my imagination working overtime, 

but I'd swear I'm getting a headache ever since I switched Sims' resolution

 (o_crap)

I *THINK* (o shit, grrr) "DSR" must be set to a single low-res game, not globally, or the video-card will work extra hard for nothing.

It probably doesn't help that people seem to think that this is another way of upscaling a low-res monitor.

And if that's true, dsr changes a low-res 1920*1080-monitor to double the allowed resolution, and then Downscales it again.

And some over-eager guy writes, he loves it, with the smoothness turned off (set to zero)

So, he's, uh, (o shit this is so bad)

OK If I'm overdriving my poor video-card for no good reason, that sucks.

IF, on the other hand, I LOWER the resolution in some game and UP smoothness+DSR,,,,

uhm, it should look *better.*

Except, what's it saying about "Native resolution"?? That's got me stuck.

My "Native resolution" is 3840x2160, so says the monitor (that's the signal it's getting)

And 2x is twice that.

See where I'm going?

No?

^%$#@$

Overall (so far) it's no biggie

Have I told you my meaning for "morphing" lately?

In the context of dreams, moldy rugs, savings accounts? 

But mostly, dreams,

Huge religious complex containing precious artifacts stored in the long-ago, which are about to be stolen by some nefarious group of three or four, who wish to go unnoticed by the bigwigs.

Confront the nefarious, threaten them with exposure, they (is any of this sounding like "Indiana Jones"??)

anyway, that's "morphing", sort of.

--------------------------------------------------

Why is everything Political lately??

The Internet is trying to tell me something...Not sure why.

Pesky-bug-bait shelf (because they just love to stare at me from a wall) you could write a chapter in a book with the link, sorry about that.

Anyway I worry it isn't small enough. I want you to remember my idea, not the link, necessarily.

zillion bibles

Imagine there were zillions of Bibles, different ones depending upon the religion.

You being a bible student might offhandedly wonder which is real.

Whichever passes your teacher's test?

Now switch over to BIOS pontifications, ignoring the truly ignorant

 and the apostates, the mad-people (people who've gone mad reading too many fragments of thoughts)

TRDwr (and the minion TWRrd) : TRDWR is exactly 1/2 of TRCD-WR (so 1/2 of 16 in my case)

It's not exactly ex-cathedra but it sounds well-thought-out, so it goes in this-here entry.

I left them on "auto" and it changes like moods, but right this second it's 8.4

8 because (I suppose) it's 1/2 of 16, and "4" because it's being careful.

https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md
What is TWRPRE/TWRPDEN in AMD's language??? (huh??)
"Twr=twrpre(yada bleagh)

If you went to that page, or a similar one, you'd surmise (OK *I* surmise) that some settings override others, and your petty attempts to modify them, your puny insignificant...(well anyway)

My TWR on an AMD board will not go to 28, it's stuck at "26"

This isn't unheard of, because changing "Gear down mode" to "enabled" is like hiring a pontificator to preach at your computer.

O...K.

Just, um,

ignore me...or something.

Edited-in Rant: No one talks english, they raise it to another level and it's up to YOU to decipher what exactly is meant at page 21-paragraph-3 (know thy reference, study to show thyself approved)

If you have a 3950, use 4 single-sided DIMMS, Not Two double-sided.
(4 double-sided will lead to outer darkness and tooth gnashing)

And we don't even know why guys write this stuff, was it for a class, a degree? How far could you get pasting stuff and changing a couple words? The PDF in the link sounds a LOT like something proposed, not invented yet.

Strange.

Well, maybe they were well connected.

Useful sites are really hard to find, But It's a formula or a set of formulas we're looking for, 

Amazing, if true (it isn't)

Tras=

TRC=

TRFC=

Tfaw=

TRRD_(S,L)=

No one reads this but me, and I can't see this while updating BIOS,

But...

Maybe some of it will stick in my head, or I'll remember to take pictures.

Waterboard it, render it until death, then back off (whadda crock)

cl (or 2*cl) Do they even listen to themselves?
I think they meant RCD_r+CL+2, but I'm translating mental-hospital jargon to english,,,I'll come back to this.

What, you thought I was kidding?
(What am I, a clown for your amusement??)
Check the sources, don't just bow because the pontificator says "wikipedia"

avoiding the guys who torture the circuitry until it screams and begs for death (or dies).

But...if 2*RTP is TWR, and TWR is stuck on 26,

uh,

1/2 TWR (26) is 13 (as opposed to 14), so RTP should be 13.

I think.

Except, 13 is an odd number, (also "13")

Edit: TRTP is *also* stuck, at 14.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-memory-tweaking-overclocking-guide/6.html

If the smart guy is correct and did not stammer, TRTP should be 6, TRAS 32, TWR 12.

O...k, here goes:

So it's NOT locked, just being sensible??

Heretical blah II:

Yeah that +2 for TRAS maybe came from my head or some mysterious site.
16+14 is definitely less than my 32, and 32 is LESS than SPD.
It might help to know *what* exactly TRAS *is* but nevermind, I'm sticking to
what he said (cl+rcd) with a dollop of  safety (2)

But then he gets prosaic, and I get lost, slightly:

(I mean, once something works, do you care?) But here:

say WHUT??

He contradicts his own self and brings in variables from the Twilight zone.

Let's calculate:

TRAS=16+4+12

20+12=32.

O.

(nevermind...)

This inscrutable thingy is saying (if you squint) that WR and RTP are related

And I shall bend into windmills now for an hour and come back to gloat, or sheepishly erase this paragraph.

Yes, apparently some new framistan related to DDR refreshing is uh,, o nevermind, forget I ever mentioned it; tons of links to bombastic blogs would be in order.

But anyway, that was no typo! It worked.

(For now)

This is greek to me, but maybe you read greek,
How do I know.

This many faceted rant is saying MY old duffer DDR4 can run faster now, 

either through new technology or tech that is a compromise for existing stuff 

by really smart (but very quiet) engineers working at DDR factories.

Or am I to believe that a proposal written around 2016 is already in my system?

No, I refuse to believe it (but I'm just, ya know, mumbling)

Maybe they added a cap or a resistor, but I doubt they added the rube-Goldberg thingy ChargeCache yet (into my PC)

Leaving TWR (and pomps and works) behind for now, what is this stuff (below)? Is it related somehow? Does anyone know or is this the fabled "Snipe hunt" for newbies??

Snipe spotted at http://www.ddr-phy.org/forum/topics/information-about-tphy-rdlat?overrideMobileRedirect=1

A Russian site has a file called "Zen timings", part of a train of thought from

https://community.hwbot.org/topic/204413-figuring-out-amds-equivalent-to-rtl-and-iol-rdl-and-mrl/

That is mostly unreadable. Geniuses looking cool (" 'sup, dog")

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/108Ux5tv2fMz9OC9SeHR22DmJvfwiNg1Q

Being a total-snipe hunter, I will now unzip the file and run it...if I'm not back by tomorrow, uhm.

BTW if someone totally *gave* you $50, uh...?

Well anyway, another snipe-hunter thing to do, take the money and run to the drug store...

I don't know.

Another flibbertigibbet from Amazon?? ( I stand corrected, it's actually "Thingamabob" or "gewgaw")

Edit: I went super-Caligula on my ass, bought three biggie Peach-pies, ice cream, Avocados and Sour Cream, only the best.

My butt will go "Ptui" eventually but...

So...we're good, right? (Right? oGawd)

"Let's talk DRAM!" from AMD has a "Privileges Denied" warning, you have to be *worthy* to receive the drops of wisdom from their lips!!

And what do the (stolen drips from the) lips say??

Speak, o lips which hath no tongue:

Generally configured, and lower=better.
So unless you're a somebody, set it to "Cas" (CL) which in my case is "14"
BUT...
maybe CL -1 (They aren't really sure)
Do I drop it down, run a test for an hour, come panting back here?
Um, (what were we talking about??)
If Aida were a girlfriend in a pissed-off mood, and you were trying to please her,
(ah fucket, she wants the rich guy, not you)

TCWL on My PC was at 14, which is an even number. Setting it to CL-1 would be 13, and that just isn't done in polite society, so it must be banished to "12".

"So", you ask eagerly, "does 12 work?"

I don't know, I feel so sheepish.

Come back in an hour (Aida is NOT impressed, readings, same)

Bleah...prime95 is next.

Pointless if there ever was, a waste of an hour. 

But yeah, it worked.

The above "prime95" picture shows how rocky my knowledge is, of the whole tweaking process...

*Some* CPU's had enough time to complete 26 tests, and some only had enough speed for 22 tests, and Why, I will never ever know.

All I do know is, they ought to make this easier. 

One single guy pontificates 12 TWR,

 and RAM manufacturers are oblivious or holding out for more money 

("Now with Blang")

I'm not sure I ranted clearly today, and I'll forgive myself because the information is so opaque, the benchmarks, so expensive (and mostly, useless.)

If you already own a beloved benchmark, with dozens of scraps of paper with results from 2006, congratulations.

If, however your benchmark updates itself constantly, has a retail price that could buy groceries for a couple days, and you only just got it,

too bad.

I still have a benchmark (memorytest) somewhere, if the bugs haven't eaten it.

And I've used "Aida" long enough to know that a latency of 66 isn't slow, if 55MPH isn't slow.

63 is faster, 61 is enormously fast, etc.

But why pay 49.00 for a latency program? cheap bastards can't put in a delay so mouse-clicks will not affect the results.

"Passmark" seems less respected, is more for burning up the PC under warranty or before you take it home.

Are the Latency results so very far off?????
OK maybe I need a free trial to compare aida and passmark.

So I'm lost, bereft.

I have money, I just wouldn't spend it on such crap.

it expired the second it started, candy-assed POS 

But as compensation for not having had it for years and without 5 or more personal scores from past PC's, there's this online site I can look at scores. (wait, didn't I do that?)

Too soon to tell, too tragic to joke.

The latest spin on this story is that they've known for many years that the building was shifting.

And I want to quote a line from that article, all due respect

How much shift is acceptable?

---------

I wrote an entire entry on diabetes and the various points of view, 

and then erased it, because it got too ranty,

too bombastic. (what I said about windows, before I erased it. 

O well. Better blogs, thought it up first.)

But right this second I want to go to the store to buy food, when I already have a refrigerator full of food.

Bland food.

What about ice cream?

What about salad?

Oooh, with vinegar!

Isn't there some (justifying) website on vinegar??

https://diabetesaction.org/article-vinegar, it is or is not helpful 

(which goes to my "zillion bibles" rant.)

Bah,

You're all nuts right now, best to go when you're all sleeping it off.

Tough sitting here dreaming of my grocery-list.
