Same here in Canada. I think its legitimate learners. Not sure why you think age has anything to do with it, theres no max age to learn to drive. Hell, my late grandma didn't get her licence/learners permit until she was in her 60s.

Could be related to an influx of immigrations as well, plenty of people didn't have the luxury to get a drivers licence or own a vehicle.

That or people are just too lazy to remove them haha.

Haha found th issue, buddy wasn't saving and confirming the bios setting changes. Made sure he did this time and it's running as expected with the gen 4 option.

Yeah im thinking a similar thought. Ill see if he can locate one to test with. If not I'll send him to a local shop so they can test it. Unfortunately lives 1000km, otherwise id beable to do some better testing for him haha!

Thanks bud!

Yep k series has igpu, igpu works fine.

Output works fine from the 2080 if in the 4x slot, detects in windows and all is good with the driver installation.

It just straight up doesn't detect the GPU in device manager at all, and the driver installer didnt detect it only while in the top pcei 5x slot.

Sorry for the rushed response, at work atm.

Got a strange one here, and im sure im missing somthing simple.

Buddy of mine did a mobo, ram, cpu upgrade on his own and is running into some issues with the PCIe 5.0x16 slot not detecting his 2080 in windows device manager. Strange part is it works 100% fine in the slot below thats the 4.0x4 slot.

Specs: 14700k cpu MSI z790 pro-a wifi mobo Zotac 2080 Ddr5 6200mhz ram (currently just set to stock without xmp until i figure out the pcie issue) Win11 home 1 sata6 ssd samsung, 1 m.2 nvme ssd samsung. 1000w seasonic psu

I tried swapping the bios settings for the pcie lanes to gen 4 instead of auto.

Confirmed with him the connections to power and board are well established thrice.

Mobo is on the latest firmware from msi.

Ez debug leds dont show any VGA/display errors in either slots.

GPU has power and fans spin up whilein the 5.0x16 slot.

Im honestly stumped on this one and what to try next or look out for. Have a feeling im probably missing somthing simple here.

MSI support hasn't been responsive so im posting here as a last attempt to gather ideas.

Edit: buddys not the brightest star. He wasn't confirming the bios changes, he was just exiting out... swapped the pcie setting from auto to gen4 and made sure he saved them. Working good now.

Unfortunately a lot of consumers don't understand this. Even if they use "pro" apps daily. These same people will fall for Apples marketing tricks here regardless.

Let's be real bud, there'd be a Tims on each side of the bridge, and ones always outta chocolate timbits.

1: there is, but at this point its pretty niche and scattered. Lots of its hush-hush due to like you said potential security/insurance concerns. Mostly used for cracking and getting system/diagnostics readouts and error codes, Fob cloning, etc. without forking out cash to do so through the so called "proper channels".

2: not that I've seen, and from they software they do use it seems mainly in house additions.

Though im not super into the scene, and i see it growing rapidly over the next few years seeing manufacturers keep doing some scummy shit to lock down their products.

Edit: fat fingered post before i finished typing it out oops.

Id say they are most likely in good health. But anything could happen. Always reccomend having a backup option in place.

[–] Fubar91@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed, i mainly mention Crystaldisk because its a quick free tool. Definitely reccomend using multiple avenues of info gathering to determine hardware health.

You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.

I enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.

OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you're interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.

PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.
