What a blast from the past. I still remember seeing it for the first time on my Socket A Athlon 1900+ pc.

>Did you buy this board already broken? Honestly I have no idea what this board has been through before getting to me. It had the PWM/Temp/RPM issue from the moment I got it. Maybe…

I see, I see. That's an impressive amount of digging you did. Thanks for that. Think I could wire pin 88 to ground and basically fix it? Even if I do get it fully fixed, I think my…

Will do. Might be worth to look into it a little deeper.

There's only one page for my board: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/970-GAMING/support And I've tried a couple of versions available there. I was even able to find some beta/unrele…

Your hunch is correct, I did not test the PS/2, serial or parallel ports, and I'm only using USB.

If windows crashes, then the audio generation crashes, so the fan will start to operate without PWM. Should default to 100%. At least that's how the PWM fans I have behave when the…

Interesting idea, I'll look into it.

I am not controlling a single fan though. It's wired to a fan hub, so the PWM signal is sent to all the fans in the system. I also wrote a companion windows application that reads …

Not sure how LLMs failed me, please elaborate. Also not sure how you found that model number, it's literally an F71878AD, here's proof: https://www.modders-inc.com/wp-content/uploa…

MSI shipped a genuinely good motherboard and forgot to wire one chip, so PWM doesn't work. Instead of tossing the board or living with the noise, I decided to make lemonade. An Ard…

Maybe you're right. After all, I haven't lived countless centuries, so I have no idea what it's like. But I believe life gives life meaning, and we can agree to disagree on that. S…

Not aging does not mean infinite life. Not only can you end it whenever you want, but you can still have accidents or win a Darwin Award. Also, longer lifespans open up space explo…

Why do people use The Last Answer by Isaac Asiimov to justify that dying is ok? If anything I find it a great reason to not like the idea of an afterlife. But living as a human, yo…

why's that?

I agree with you that there's some friction involved and a bunch of trade-offs. The thing is that I absolutely lost it, because of the bugs and the ads, and just wanted something r…

I don't think it's Stockholm Syndrome, rather it's a classic case of sunken cost fallacy. For me at least, that's what it was. I had invested so much time in Ableton (~14 years) an…

Thank you! Sadly, the one I posted is outdated too. I tried looking around for the newest one because I had seen it before, but couldn't find it anymore. The list was ~30% longer.

lol! Sorry about the clickbait. Everyone's doing it nowadays, and I wanted to follow. Gonna think of a better title next time

Last time I looked on stat counter it showed 4 and something percent. That's where I pulled the number from. But it seems they updated it to 3.86 now. It's so over for the Linux co…
