The harddrive staying silent even though you were mashing keys like crazy was a sure way to tell that your PC had given up on life.
Yeah hitting "save file" and not actually hearing the sound of the file being written to disk was enough to give you a chill
For me it was installing games. The installer was still active, but the drive stayed silent? The installer was lying.
Yeah you can tell the installer just had a time limit hard-coded, like it took them about two minutes on their test machine,
Not nearly as bad as hearing "click...click....click" from the HDD. The PTSD is still strong...
Thanks I can hear this and I hate it.
At least you knew; now when an SSD fails it just…. dies.
Literally shuddering. RIP The epic Doom megawad I was working on for two years 😥
The fans revving for 20 seconds and the program opening it's loading screen: "Nice".
The fans revving for 5 seconds and the program is sitting at 0% CPU after 1 full minute: "fuck this bullshit." But you hold onto hope and wait another 5 minutes, and as your confirming to restart the PC the program starts loading, and you have to watch it load entirely before it's killed by the restart, and the restart takes even longer because the program actually opened.
Or,
You browser is loading homestarrunner.com and the loading bar stops at 10% like it should for 5 minutes, but the 5 minutes passes by, and you click the clock on the task bar only to see your mouse turn into an hourglass.
Fans revving? My 486 fans were either on or off, son.
Still does that on my machine... I can hear some high hissing sounds when moving the cursor on my ThinkPad (running Manjaro)
i hear that too when ive got vr running on linux, isnt that coil whine? or are you referring to something else?
A relatively easy way I've found to get coil whine is to go on shadertoy.com and use the shadertoy extension to increase the paint calls
It only seems to work with some shaders for me though, https://www.shadertoy.com/view/WtfyDj seems to work well
Oooh, what headset are you using? Also, unfortunately I don't know about coil whining, sorry.
I'm using a vive pro with the index controllers. coil whine is hard to explain, but its exactly that. it comes from the gpu, maybe you can fond some videos on youtube
Are you using steam VR? If so, what version? I'm currently having some issues with getting games to actually display in the headset and the dashboard not coming up... And since you seem to have it up and running, I'd like to know!
The dashboard is an issue with steamvr on linux in general. I'm using the latest beta, other then that not sure what the problem is. you need to have a vive or index I guess too. Messaging on lemmy is kinda a pain in general too, do you have matrix?
I do have matrix! It's here @smorty:catgirl.cloud
