Q: Why do some figure spaces have darker outlines?

StevoisiakOn the figure collection screen for Volume 1, there are 7 figure spaces at the bottom that have darker grey outlines compared to the other figures. Is there any significance to the figure spaces with darker outlines?

@Elise lol no. I have a potato nvidia gpu. So scalimg can only be adjusted via intel integrated gpu. In better gpus, yes, there are scaling options.
@MBraedley I posted on superuser but no response yet.

Q: Any way to prevent game scaling to full screen?

VikasIntel probably recently did some changes in their graphics driver settings and now if your laptop resolution is set to 1920x1080, there's only one option available - Maintain Display Scaling. You can't select "Maintain Aspect Ratio" or any other option like you could do 1 or 2 years ago. Same is ...

resolution windows-11

Should I post it on this site instead?

@Vikas is this a laptop? It doesn't matter what nvidia gpu you have, they all use the same drivers, unless you're on a laptop
but even then, a laptop would be using the switching gpu thing which would be managed through the nvidia control panel
Vikas
Vikas
@Elise Oh. I guess that is the problem. Yes a laptop.
@Elise In my nvidia settings I don't have scaling options.
Elise
Elise
but laptops tend to lack settings sometimes, so it's possible that you just don't have the option. Are your drivers up to date?
Vikas
Vikas
Yeah I keep updating them time to time.

It has less options than I could see on YouTube.
Elise
Elise
@Vikas wow, yuck
Vikas
Vikas

They have way more options including scaling
Yeah such a shame

this is what mine looks like on desktop

Vikas
In Windows 10 there were no problems because it used slightly old Intel drivers.
@Elise That is awesome.
Elise
Elise
yeah idk, laptops are a pain sometimes 😔
Vikas
Vikas
I upgraded to Windows 11 by a mistake. I don't even know how it happened. One morning I woke up and it was updating it. I thought I had turned off updates.

Now to downgrade, I will need to delete all my apps in C drive which is tedious.
@Elise If I add an external monitor, I might get these extra options?
Elise
Elise
@Vikas probably not, but it might default to scaling on the monitor and the monitor might have the option to change aspect ratio

Q: What determines customer satisfaction at the Waddle Dee Café?

StevoisiakThere is a minigame at the Waddle Dee Café where you serve food to customers. My first time playing I got a bonus for 100% customer satisfaction even though I messed up one of the orders. My second time playing I only got 92% customer satisfaction despite not messing up a single order. What deter...

How do you guys manage your extra data? My laptop hard drive is almost full and I never had data more than 1 TB. Should I buy those portable hard drives?
Nzall
Nzall
@Vikas I have a separate D drive for large files or games I rarely play
MBraedley
MBraedley
I have a NAS for videos and other long term storage
Vikas
Vikas
@Nzall In same hard drive/ssd? I mean I also have 3 drives: C, D and E and all are about full.
user image
MBraedley
MBraedley
You need bigger drives
Vikas
Vikas
15:48
@MBraedley NAS == Online storage like Google Drive?
Nzall
Nzall
@Vikas I have 3 drives in my desktop: a 240 GB C SSD for my OS and maybe a couple of games, A D HDD of 1 TB with some data, and then a 1 TB SSD for my games
Vikas
Vikas
@MBraedley I never had this much data. Most of them is my old office projects. I want to keep them for some years.
MBraedley
MBraedley
@Vikas Network Attached Storage. A server on my network with a bunch of drives
Vikas
Vikas
@Nzall Okay. So you have 3 separate physical storage right? In my case I have 2 (C == SSD and D, E == Hard disk)
Nzall
Nzall
@Vikas yeah
MBraedley
MBraedley
15:49
I have a Drobo 5N (and also a Drobo FS which isn't actually doing anything), but there's other options out there
Nzall
Nzall
My next computer I'm hoping to have 3-4 TB of SSD storage
Vikas
Vikas
@MBraedley Something like your own server at your home? That runs 24 hours?
Nzall
Nzall
I can probably take my old SSD from my current system, which should still last a couple years, and then I want a 2 TB M.2 SSD
Vikas
Vikas
@Nzall Okay. So in my case at the moment I don't have desktop I just have laptop. So I should go with a external hard drive or SSD right?
@MBraedley Ok
Nzall
Nzall
@Vikas My recommendation would be to get a 1 TB external HDD and toss all of your old office projects on them that you want to retain. Then use your internal storage for games and software
MBraedley
MBraedley
15:52
@Vikas Yeah, but it's not a like it's a high power computer. It's got enough power to run Plex and some other services, but not anything compute intensive. It's just mass storage. On my network so it's also fast.
Vikas
Vikas
@Nzall Okay. I'm also thinking same. So just needed opinions. I might buy 2TB if there's not much big price difference.
Cool. But I guess I don't need that at the moment. It's quite useful but I can't manage it.

You can run your own website too I guess? As you don't need to buy any hosting service.
MBraedley
MBraedley
@Vikas I can, but I don't. I use SquareSpace for my website
Vikas
Vikas
Okay
In the past I also thought setting up my own server at home but then people said you'll need to maintain it like not getting heat and keeping it cool and it will consume electricity 24 hours etc.
Thanks

hello
would anyone like to have a spot of tea with me?
Nzall
Nzall
@Vikas not just heat and cooling. You want to ensure that it's secure
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
15:59
what type of tea should i make?
Vikas
Vikas
@Nzall Oh yes. That will need me to read database and server security in details. Which I can't do at the moment.
@Catofdoom2 Is it free?
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@Vikas only price is having a good time maybe a laugh and a good chat
Vikas
Vikas
@Nzall I once used Amazon hosting trial which I guess is very secure. It had all port filter/blocking settings. You can control incoming outgoing traffic.
@Catofdoom2 Oh. I'm afraid I might not be the right customer :D
But I appreciate the pricing.
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@Vikas how unfortunate. well if you ever want to chat over a spot of tea you know where to find me

 Tea Time

would you care for a spot of tea?
Vikas
Vikas
@Catofdoom2 There's a place in India where are hundreds of kinds of tea. And they were too expensive.
@Catofdoom2 Sure.
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2

@Vikas thats terrible! everyone should have access to tea
Vikas
Vikas
I'm not drinking tea for past few months. I switched to coffee
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@Vikas coffee is so bad for you
MBraedley
MBraedley
@Catofdoom2 there's nothing wrong with coffee
Vikas
Vikas
@Catofdoom2 The only side effect I have noticed is I can't sleep early at night. I take long sleep but it takes me some time to sleep. But I'm not sure if actually coffee has done it. I will switch to tea again after few months to see what happens.
Also, I drink only 1 small teaspoon of coffee per day. Instant coffee. It's not very strong.
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@MBraedley more caffeine, less tea. that is bad enough. do i need go on?
@Vikas i guess thats better then most people
Vikas
Vikas
16:10
@Catofdoom2 Tea also have caffeine?
Cat of doom2
Cat of doom2
@MBraedley yes but it's tea sooooooo
Vikas

I can see an avatar in this room drinking coffee/tea 🤣

@Vikas what is your preference of tea?

@Nzall I just checked there isn't big difference in price for 1TB and 2TB HDD
Unlike RAMs
Nzall
Nzall
@Vikas yeah, storage is dirt cheap these days
Vikas
Vikas
Good for me. I think bigger storage you buy, cheaper it is. There's some reason behind it which I don't know.

@Catofdoom2 Coffee is like alcohol.
1-2 glasses a day can be beneficial in some ways.
4-5 the wins you get get overshadowed hard by the problems it causes
Like coffee is a great source of antioxidents

But still, all this is to take with a grain of salt, because of the french paradox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_paradox
Basically we get told not to eat too much fat or alcohol because its bad for the heart. Meanwhile, the french, which alimentation is heavy on fats and wine, have one of the lowest heart disease rates in the world

@Vikas cheaper per gigabyte you mean?
@Vikas realistically if your load isn't extreme you can run it off something small and passively cooled like a raspberry pi, which also uses miniscule amounts of energy
