Figured I would share this in case anyone is in the market for a new GPU.

For the last month or so, every NVIDIA driver released has been incompatible with 4000 series cards (at least when using display port). As soon as any of the last 4 driver releases are installed, the screen goes black, forcing you to boot into safe mode then roll back or uninstall the driver.

The 5000 series cards are very new - it's crazy that the seem to have just stopped supporting 1-2 year old cards so they can focus on their new line. That being said, the new drivers are allegedly not great for the 5000 series either.

TL;DR: Consider AMD, it'll probably work better with Linux anyways :)

I am currently using a legitimate copy of Windows 11, on the latest version. Just started getting this message after the latest update.

Considering I already have Linux and Mac as alternatives, if they actually pull my license they will just lose a lifelong customer. Their business decisions truly boggle the mind...

Incredible set

I have used Spotify for years, in spite of the fact that they pay artists terribly - the reason for this was that out of all the streaming services, they had the largest and most complete weekly playlist of new releases.

Having a new release playlist like this is quite important for DJs (or people who curate popular playlists... or people who just like music). I searched online and found that people have made posts on reddit stating that their new release playlists have also been severely limited.

After going to the Spotify forums, I came upon the bullshit I have linked, in which a Spotify employee tells everyone complaining that the playlist has always been limited to 30 tracks, and if anyone received more it was a temporary glitch (despite people providing evidence of having 200 tracks for 5+ years), or was caused by external factors (??? lol).

Personally I hate it when companies do things like this. I am not sure whether they are trying to get their power users to quit, or if they truly believe that they can get away with lying so blatantly.

I have decided that I will no longer be supporting them. Figured I would share in case anyone needs to make a decision regarding which service to go with.

This is another good free resource for exploring and creating alternate tuning systems.

All hail the north
