it'd either work or it wouldnt

I contacted Lenovo support and they said the bottom fan is outtake to push air under the graphics card and to prevent dust

Weird

what kind of gpu cooler is it? Blower?

because that is NOT how it works, well i guess it would prevent dust by not having any airflow

Lol

@tntkoren what are you recording with

cba to read the whole conversation

Most of the time the lag is because of the encoder, not the bitrate

If it’s OBS, change the encoder to NVENC if you’ve got an Nvidia GPU

CPU encoding is usually better quality than GPU encoding but you encoding is a lot easier with GPU because a task like this, GPUs are optimized for. That said, even if an old GPU which will give worse quality then a new GPU is usused for encoding should not make 1080p look 240p.

Yeah, I'm definitely not clicking the link in the group text I just got. For one, all the numbers in the text were almost identical to me except the last digit was incremented by one each time. Also, the URL was just an IP address. 🤣

I did thou send a warning in the group text for everyone else in the text to absolutely do not click the link before reporting it as spam to Att.

Lmao wasn’t very hidden

Pi-Hole

Heard good things about that a few years ago

I should probably set one up at some point these days so many sites detect ad block plus it's getting more annoying than it helps

I have more annoyance where I'm getting websites that detect my VPN now days even though I'm on their premium. I never used to have this problem outside a few banking websites but now I have about a dozen that just stop working if I have my VPN on.

Which VPN are you using?

I have trouble finding a vpn my company doesnt block

SurfShark worked for a while but now they have that one blocked

I use ProtonVPN

At my last internship, ProtonVPN was able to no be blocked while my paid ExpressVPN at the time was. Not sure if it would still be able to bypass because I'm not working there anymore.

Yeah, games are putting in VPN detection/blocking as well. I just gave up because it kept on messing up my online features

That may be a bigger deal if I actually played much online gaming. My bigger annoyance is some of the restaurants for doing online pickup don't completely stop working with a VPN but don't work quite right so you spend time trying to determine if it's crappy programing on the site, there website just having problems, or if it's the VPN I mindlessly have running in the background.

Boo ProtonVPN blocked 😢

I have to resort to remote desktoping to my desktop at home and browsing via remote desktop

Now days you need to find a way to have the VPN tunnel over HTTPS or something like that to hide the fact it's a VPN to get around some corporate firewalls and government censorship like the Great Firewall of China.

Sometimes it's a premium feature of VPNs but it's a lot of overhead so many don't bother.

just going to protonvpn's site is blocked unfortunately

On ProtonVPN, try both the UDP and the TCP setting. Oh my college Wi-Fi, I have to use one of them because the other doesn't work.

I have my company pay for surfshark premium but they just recently blocked it unfortunately so i cant use it

Oh yeah, you have to download the VPN client before going onto a corporate network because that's a common block you aren't really going to get past without a VPN.

i just want to peruse and be unproductive at work why wont they let me

Have your tried DNS-over-HTTPS? I've never tried using it to bypass corporate firewalls before but maybe so you can download the VPN.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https

Interesting I’ll try that out

It doesn't let me access unproductive stuff at school, so i doubt it would at work

The VPN or the DNS-over-HTTPS? Both are designed to let you bypass the blockers not letting you do whatever you want on a restricted network. The encrypted DNS but wouldn't stop some kinds of network based IDS and restrictions. That's where VPNs and proxies come in, they can get past the restrictions which is why company networks often try to block them.

DNS

VPN works fine, you just can't connect

so i could login and connect on mobile data, then switch to school, but i don't bother as their internet is slower than my phone
