vfreire85 , to asklemmy in What languages do you speak?

in addition to my native brazilian portuguese, i’m fluent in english and basic to intermediate level in spanish and french. i can understand and speak roughly some german and russian too (started the courses, but never finished). my objective is to someday learn both german and russian up to intermediate level, and then go for some arabic, mandarin, kongo, nheengatu (an old creole language that mixed tupi-guarani and portuguese) and esperanto.

Just throwing this out there: on my hardware, this improves my upload but hurts my download speeds. There could possibly be reasons why it’s not set by default.

MonkderVierte ,

I think i read about this once. Something like, Windows has less strict requirements for drivers and hardware, which is why driver-side workarounds for broken hw works better there. Or something like that.

CrabAndBroom OP ,

I tried it out on another laptop since I posted this, and that had the inverse - download speeds went up by about 20% or so, but the upload speed seems have taken a hit of about 10%. On my ‘main’ laptop both improved quite drastically.

So yeah definitely a ‘your mileage may vary’ type of situation, but it’s easy enough to reverse I guess so worth a shot if anyone has a bit of a speed problem. You might get lucky!

Are you in a particularly busy wifi area or one without a lot of traffic?

henfredemars ,

My Wi-Fi bands are saturated with about 50 networks on 2.4 in an apartment complex.

ICastFist , to gaming in What's your favourite and/or least favourite gaming hardware?
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

My old PSP3000 is one of my favorite pieces. It hasn’t seen any action in 5+ years now, but it will probably get some around september.

Mandatory jab at the switch. Not awful but cmon, the controls suck

Another of my least fave is my laptop’s monitor. It’s an ASUS ROG whose screen sucks major balls. If it ever gets over 40ºC, it starts showing some “scanlines” or something like that, with horizontal lines that don’t refresh correctly or something, kinda hard to describe. In any case, if I ever game straight on it without anything blowing cool air on the screen, games will become unplayable because it’ll reach a point where I literally can’t see shit, because the screen won’t be refreshing correctly, several lines will be “stuck” for 1 second or more. The keyboard is also a piece of shit.

Isn’t the rog a handheld?

ROG Ally is. ROG is just their “Republic of Gamers” gaming brand, with a bunch of products.

sleepybisexual OP ,

Oh

Vivendi ,

PSP! Bought when I was a literal child. Works like a fucking charm, even the ORIGINAL BATTERY!

umbraroze , to science_memes in perspective

Somewhere in late 2000s I saw one of the most mind-melting GIFs I’ve seen that compared the Solar System objects to the largest known stars at the time. This kinda reminded me of that.

iamtrashman1312 , to asklemmy in Which part of a PB&J is the meat, and which is the condiment?

Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

Nemo OP ,

Socratic intetjection: What’s the meat in a hummus and cucumber sandwich?

iamtrashman1312 ,

In my heart I feel it’s the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up

Nemo OP ,

I agree, but I can back it up: You’d be more disappointed if the cucumbers were missing than if the hummus was.

Interesting the CVEs don’t have information yet and didn’t appear to affect bitwarden and it’s containers. Haven’t seen a security release from them since around March.

Last time I went digging, the typical option was a second antidepressant medication to use temporarily as the withdrawal period happened. The idea was that you wouldn’t be on the second one long enough to have those symptoms from it, and could just quit.

There were some studies being done that I never followed up on that tested various medications other than antidepressants, typically benzodiazepines or things like gabapentin. Again, I haven’t gone looking again, and that’s been something like six years since I looked.

The real problem is making sure your prescriber has paid attention to the literature on the matter, and will actually help. Some are just so far behind the curve that they’ll still insist that there aren’t any symptoms from stopping an antidepressant, though that has changed a ton over the last decade, so it isn’t like it used to be.

Now, the real problem comes in if you’re getting the zaps and aren’t quitting the medication. The treatment option for that, back when I was reading up years ago, was still the addition of another antidepressant, and/or coming off of the one you’re on and then switching.

SSRIs and tricyclics are worse about head zaps than MAOIs, but they can all do it (and likely will do it while quitting after more than a year on one of them) while still using the medication. There wasn’t a specific medication to counter the symptom at all, because nobody knows/knew why the hell it happens.

Now, if you step outside of prescription meds, there’s anecdotal reports of things that help, but zero research done on them that I’ve ever found, and all of them come with risks, so I’m not willing to go into them currently. I just can’t support experimenting with psychoactive herbs and chemicals that could interact badly with antidepressants. If you decide to go looking, be aware that it’s easier to find what kind of things people have tried than the reports of bad effects from interactions. That’s on you to go looking though, I’ll be damned if I’m going to risk being involved in something that could cause harm.

If you want, I’m okay relaying the bad effects I have read about or heard directly, but it’s kinda useless info for your question.

The tl;dr is that the only reliable opinions require a provider to make happen.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

SNRIs like Effexor are also super bad about it. People say quitting heroin was easier than Effexor.

Thank you for posting this, I’ll give it a try tonight.

CrabAndBroom OP ,

No worries! From other comments and a couple of tests I did it seems to get somewhat mixed results, but it’s easy enough to undo so you might get lucky! It worked for me at least lol.

dirtybeerglass , to asklemmy in What would you recommend: T480; Carbon X1 Gen 6; Or Dell 7480?

Carbon is great but you pay a premium for the form factor.

480 is the choice for practical purposes, if budget is a factor.

tarsisurdi , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first

I suffer from having to update the firmware of my Xbox controllers through a Windows Laptop we use for office work (using LibreOffice, btw) because they will stop working on my Fedora Linux machine after some time when I update the kernel modules for xone and xpadneo.

It’s interesting to me that you can do that using a VM!!

Telorand , to linux_gaming in How I got HDR working on Linux with an Nvidia GPU

Neat. I feel like there must be some way to automate both the install of STL and making every game default to gamescope with HDR, but that’s cool you got everything working!
