So I've been having issues with my graphics card for the past week with it displaying nothing but sa black screen after I tried doing a driver update. I have yet to find an effective fix for it, be it uninstalling the drivers, doing a factory reset or simply just taking the card out and plugging it back in. Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix short of just getting a new one? I've brought it up with the manufacturer, but I've been stuck playing email tag with their support team. I've even taken it to the guy I got the card from, but even he's stumped and gave me a loaner until I can get it fixed.
As a followup question, I've also been experiencing sound issues, mainly screeching and static, whenever I plug my speakers into my desktop, I assume it's a grounding issue as the drivers are up to date, and the sound does work when I plug in some headphones into my mic (I got a new set of speakers that similarly work, and I'm using that as a temporary fix), but how do I fix a grounding issue when it comes to a desktop computer causing the issue?

GPU and sound problems at the same time? Are you sure it's not the mobo?
My old laptop used to mix static to external speaker output when the power brick started to get a bit "tired". Could be a similar power delivery issue.
I wouldn't think so, I only got my power brick just a year and a half ago. I would say it's the motherboard, but as I already mentioned, I'm using a loaner GPU card and otherwise I can get visual when plugging directly into the computer. It could be the reason my sound is going out though. Problem is, I'm too much of a poorfag to actually replace the motherboard if that is the case.
Does the loaner GPU work properly?
Yes it does. When I took it to my computer expert near where I live, we tried out other GPU cards, and they worked fine. Just not the one I had in my machine before I decided to do a driver update on it.
That's strange. I haven't heard about a driver update bricking hardware until now.
Yeah, it was an AMD update, I was using the Atnerprise driver on my card, noticed it had an update and downloaded it. The screen went black during the install and never returned. Been trying to get the card's manufacturer to help me out on that, as I already mentioned, but it's been an outright hassle to do so. Hence the loner card (a Nvidia).
Thanks!
as a side note though, if you can you should really just prefer ethernet cable if at all possible. Way more stable, usually much faster.
Wrong question. Right question:
If yes, @Vecr 's answer. If no, @Vecr 's answer but the other part. In practice, wifi is garbage and do what @Rusty Crab said.
keyboard/mouse recommendations?
also for people who use programs like blender and maya is the cadmouse+spacemouse enterprise bundle worth the money? or should I stick with the pro and some gaming mouse?

I dont know if this is the place to ask this, but Im looking for an alternative way to connect with people that is very reminiscent of the old AOL/yahoo chat.
Failing that I need a healthy alternative to twitter. The more obscure and cool the better.
If its english speaking, European and easily accessible, that would be neat.

Are you looking to find new people to talk to or a way to talk to people you already know? If it's the latter, I recommend setting up an XMPP server. I have one with just my wife and a few close friends running on a Raspberry Pi and it works great.

It's not for me, its for somebody else that doesn't use the farms.
They like interacting with random people who are not batshit like on twitter. They need something healthy and not built to be addictive, but also relatively fast paced.
I know safe public bastions other then here are limited, but if there is anything remotely good id like to hear it.
Very interesting, Thank you. Can you think of anything good for a public phone text/voice chat room experience?
Is the rep for BBS that bad?

No. I only like anonymously shit posting. Maybe Discord?
BBS is a system people used to use in the 80s, pre internet. It used to operate using phone modems, but now most of them function over telnet. There are a few left around with between 50-100 users, overwhelming male and over 35. People mostly use them to play door games, a basic sort of text mmo.
You can get started using Syncterm as a client. If you pick a BBS listed here you can play door games with people from other BBSes, and there will be at least 50-60 people in the more popular door games.
