Fixed my computer crashing problem, one of the PCIE wires had come loose on the graphics card, if i had not have knocked it when I was trying a different DVI cable I would have never found the problem

well that didn't work!

well that's interesting innit?

the more I use Mastodon the more I like it

hey @mjg59 this guy over here @kreyren is trying to get me to install the Linux..

Downside: It's Monday tomorrow

Upside: I am not working

@kreyren I can troubleshoot windows when it's not working - I am totally lost with Linux, Never has worked for me - even on my Raspberry Pi

@kreyren When I get a steam deck, not before..

I've not tooted much, I have been having computer problems - TUrns out I have been running windows on my super slow old hard drive (somehow) and I finally fixed it - got windows on my super fast SSD - computer is flying! However, now my computer crashes randomly, black screen - fans start screaming - the game is still running in the background - I have to reboot to get it back.

Tried everything - power is fine, Underclocked my gfx card, underclocked my system - re-installed windows, uninstalled and re-installed drivers.

I have had 3 days of this nonsense, Totally had enough..

@81732bit nobody owns a cat, that's what so great about them

Out with the Mrs drinking cocktails old fashioned and bloody Mary with extra tabasco

ok it's tomorrow, but I have finally taken the plunge! thanks for the info all..

@juliegrrl thanks for the info :D

@juliegrrl I basically have a goatee, hair doesn't grow on the sides of my face (v patchy) virtually nothing on my neck, I am pretty lucky that way (I have never been able to grow a beard) this is about as good as my beard ever got..

Electrolysis today, first session I think it's going to be an hour, anyone else had it? How long does the hair have to be? How much can you do in an hour? anyone else had this done? Laser out of the question because a) far too expensive and 2) My hair is white so doesn't "zap" #trans

someone I talked to online was shocked that I was going to pay for Hormones, but look, its taken me 50 years to get to the point where I can (and in a supportive relationship where I am able to) and I really don't want to wait another 20 years to get a prescription, yeah I know its dodgy, yeah I know all the risks, like most people "like me" I have read enough medical shit to work in a pharmacy myself (not as a pharamcist ffs.. you know what I mean)

the UKs NHS trans stuff is a complete cluster fuck - places like GenderGP are great if you can afford them, but I cannot - so I am just doing what I can do.

@PatrickSTomlinson @stealthygeek@mastodonapp.uk this is how you sort out a bad man with a gun

@LordArse as I have said before, phone only apps can do one, I don't like my phone - I don't want it anywhere near me

@PatrickSTomlinson @stealthygeek@mastodonapp.uk -

No - take guns off people, you can't fight guns with more guns, that doesn't work in the real world

I might be in the UK and not in a crazy gun loving dystopia (we have a dystopia for other reasons)

It's common sense, less guns - less shootings

@gamemistress yes! nature is cool..
