[Solved] [Win10] How do I prevent a USB docked HDD from spinning down constantly? in c/techsupport@lemmy.world
[–] Squiddick17@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So the "turn off disks after" setting was already set, and USB selective suspend already disabled, BUT those are apparently overridden for USB connected drives if the "Allow the computer to turn off this device" box is checked for that USB hub in Windows Device Manager (Power Management tab).

All of those had defaulted to 'on' since I upgraded my mobo, so I think I've got it now.

I have a full sized HDD in a USB 3 dock, and my power settings inactive timer is set to 300 minutes. This doesn't appear to be applying to the docked HDD, as it spins down in about 5 minutes or less. It takes forever to spin back up when I access it, so how can I change this?

[Meta/Oculus VR and Windows 10 related] Is it possible to get JUST the oculus xr runtimes for Virtual Desktop without installing the Oculus app? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm trying to use Virtual Desktop with a Quest 3 and want to skip Steam VR wherever humanly possible. Problem is, this isn't possible most of the time because I can't install the Oculus app, which is supposedly required to use the xr runtime and avoid going through Steam.

The oculusSetup.exe installer crashers before showing any UI on my system (Win10 Home x64), making installation impossible. This occurred both before and after upgrading my motherboard, Intel CPU, and ram kit. I've gone through a laundry list of advanced troubleshooting over the past month or so, and I won't get into that here.

Instead, I'm really hoping there is a way to run PCVR games/apps through VD with openxr runtimes that DON'T rely on running SteamVR (for performance/latency reasons), WITHOUT needing to install the actual Oculus app on my PC.

For Libreoffice, are there preset keyboard layouts available to more closely mimic Excel behavior? in c/techsupport@lemmy.world
[–] Squiddick17@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I found a solution myself, if anyone else is wondering.

There's an easier way to get the same effect: Shift-Click your cell(s) and drag where you want it/them, then hold Alt before releasing to drop it in place and auto re-order the column.

Not much else to say. At the least I want the ability to cut one cell and then CTRL+"+" it elsewhere in the column. I used to be able to reorder items in a column like this without leaving a blank cell where I cut from, but Calc doesn't do this.

Looks like a false positive, but could you offer an explanation of what's being detected as "Trojan.Autoit.Wirus", what it does, and how it's harmless?

They go down frequently and are notorious for being riddled with trap files and malware. No one should be using the bay anymore. 1337x has the same problem now but slightly less than the bay, and a lot of domains are now honeypots. This guy probably read one post about piracy close to a decade ago and NEVER learned anything new after that.

How do I know if a certain movies uploader on 1337x is trusted ? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] Squiddick17@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

It's really not a chore if you don't pick super exclusive trackers. RuTracker, if I remember correctly, doesn't really have requirements to join, and they don't even monitor ratios anymore. All files should come with English tracks, and your browser can already auto-translate the site for you. Even the ones that do require seeding give you a grace period to build it up, and all you have to do is set an automatic ratio goal of 100% or so on your torrent client.

I thought it was understood that 1337 is about as fucked as the bay? Private Russian trackers are universally the way to go, but there's still better resources outside of that on the reddit megathread

Oculus PC app setup crashes before launching, making installation impossible in c/techsupport@lemmy.world

Interesting idea, I'm running dual monitors and higher than 60 fps on one of them only. That monitor also has g-sync and some other nvidia gimmicks, but as far as I know I don't have any of them enabled. I also keep drivers updated religiously, so we can check that box.

I made sure to download the latest runtime after seeing that error the first time, but no dice. They also have no information on their site whatsoever regarding any dependencies for this software or their links in general.

Sorry if the formatting on the event log entries got fucked, I'm still figuring out how to use these text fields properly

(Event log details at the end) Trying to run OculusSetup.exe from the Meta website seems to be impossible on my home PC, as the installer hard crashes before any UI is even shown.

As expected, Meta support is completely and utterly fucking worthless. All they know how to do is email you the basic instructions already on their worthless ass website.

I am running Windows 10 x64 Home, and can be bothered to provide further tech specs if someone provides a specific reason for needing them. I also have Avast AV installed, but completely uninstalling and rebooting made absolutely no difference in outcome or error output.

No, I am not open to reinstalling Windows.

Running the installer results in 3 administrative error events :

PS, if the only thing you can think of is "HURR JUST WIPE YOUR DRIVE AND DO A CLEAN OS INSTALL", fuck yourself with a pitchfork or I'll fucking find you and do it myself. That's reddit shit and you know it

UPDATE I'm seeing a lot of references to KERNELBASE.dll, as well as some kind of image drawing/color issue that I don't understand. If anyone has any ideas about those, I'd appreciate it

UPDATE 2 Found a log from the Oculus app its self in my appdata. Main take away so far is this line:

"System.OverflowException: The image data generated an overflow during processing. ---> System.ArithmeticException: Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation".

I remember looking up an exception code earlier and something came up about trying to divide by zero. Anyone have a clue here? It almost sounds to me like the Meta people just can't fucking code to save their lives (or careers, which I'm not to confident in right now).
