Tried converting a story from TIFU to greentext because I’m bored at work.

I saved a Gimp Template while working on it: https://files.catbox.moe/ipnjzk.xcf

Me plugging my monitor into my mobo instead of my graphics card for three years. I thought I had just gotten reeeeally unlucky in the silicon lottery.

Last time I did that I just didn’t get any output to the monitor, isn’t that how it’s supposed to work?

If your cpu doesn’t have integrated graphics yeah.

Hmmm, maybe that’s what happened, but I’m pretty sure I was getting output without the GPU plugged in, but that was a long time ago

Massively depends on the system.

if you get a F series CPU with no igpu then you will likely get no output.

one time i was testing something with the monitor in the motherboard, which worked fine, and then i put the gpu in the motherboard but forgot to plug the monitor in the gpu, and it showed a black screen.

there might be systems where you can plug both a gpu and the igpu into the monitor and it’ll use one for most things and the other for games and stuff (i dont remember what that is called), but i have only ever seen that in laptops so idk

I’m pretty sure the fan was not the only thing set to “dim”.

Okay, I’m sorry, but this is totally true and heterosexual. I have seen two people do this in real life.

Once you get used to proper bias lighting, suddenly overhead lamps become insufferable. I don’t know how people do it.

what’s bias lighting? i’ve never heard of it and if it works as a complete replacement to overhead lamps, i don’t think looking it up showed me the right thing

Lights that you place behind things, like your bookshelf, TV/monitor, bedframe, etc. It’s so much more cozy and inviting compared to direct lighting. Like the other person said, a simple cheap lamp works wonders.

That’s mostly just indirect lighting.

Bias lighting is specifically lights that are placed behind screens to help reduce eyestrain from viewing a bright screen in a dark room.

Sounds like “light pollution” but indoor.
