I was bored while my girlfriend was asleep and she loves Diablo, so I tried making Diablo in the palette house for her island.

I couldn’t make a convincing flame effect without having to spend a ridiculous about of time trying to figure it out, so I just went with some outlines that make it look a little flame-y.

I’m honestly proud of myself for how well I did, I thought something like this was way outside of my abilities because I’m not a great artist.

I’ve never seen anything like this before…it’s freaky! Looks like something molting out of its shell? Northwest Florida. TIA!!!

I still love this car – it’s so amazing, and I got a compliment on how excellent it looks yesterday!

About a year and a half ago, I lowered it on TRD springs and I am so happy with it. I wanted a TRD but I just couldn’t get my hands on one, so I have this mix between an SE and a TRD. But I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve done with it and every other thing about it. Just got a TRD steering wheel last week too. Glad I got in before the hybrids took over.

Idk guys I’m just looking at moving and I heard some things about this place and just wanted to hear what you guys thought idk just asking for advice

To begin, I must say that Windows Vista is my favorite version of Windows, and I always appreciated that Windows Vista had a nice and soft Windows Logo screensaver on the lock screen after about 10 minutes of inactivity. I really missed this, and I wanted to find a way to restore it in Windows 10. I read in many places and everywhere I looked said that this functionality had been removed, but it appears that I have found a way to restore it.

I figured that it must be possible to get the screensaver running - Windows 10 does have a "screensaver" after all on the lock screen, which is the "blank" one that kicks in after 60 seconds, so I knew that the functionality must still be there.

I use AuthUX to restore the Windows Vista/7 lock screen, so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the success of this, but you may be able to try without AuthUX. I believe I tried without AuthUX and it didn't work, but then again getting it to work has always been finicky. So this is more a post saying that it is possible. A more reliable, cleaner way to restore the screensaver may be needed still - which maybe this post can serve as the jump off point. This is a rather niche want, so I don't know how helpful it'll be, because obviously the best screensaver is just turning your monitor off after 60 seconds. But I don't want to be so bland and minimal!

Windows Vista's lock screen registry settings for screensavers were stored under `Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT` under the following keys:

• `ScreenSaveActive` string value, default value: 1
• `ScreenSaverIsSecure` string value, default value: 1
• `ScreenSaveTimeout` string value, default value: 600
• `SCRNSAVE.EXE` string value, default value: C:\Windows\system32\logon.scr

By creating new keys in Windows 10's registry in the same path with the same values except the `SCRNSAVE.EXE` key (it needs to point to where the screensaver you want is,) along with the same exact keys in the other user folders: `S-1-5-18` (should copy settings from .DEFAULT, since this is the account tied to it,) `S-1-5-19`, and `S-1-5-20` to be thorough, and then after installing the Windows Vista Logo screensaver from a Windows Vista installation, I was able to get the screensaver running on the lock screen! I came in to my computer this morning with the screensaver playing after I set it to auto boot.

I have also seen that the screensaver will have trouble playing sometimes if fast boot is enabled because of a bug that was introduced in Windows 10 during development where screensaver settings were never saved nor retained. This was apparently fixed shortly after Windows 10 came out, but it appears on the most current build that it still has this issue.

I do not use Windows 11, but maybe someone in the community does and is curious about if this runs on Windows 11. If so, try testing this! Let me know what happens!

I hope this helps someone, if not, just interesting that you can still do it! I wish Microsoft allowed broader customization of these options that are buried in the Registry through normal means.

I acquired this MSI Ventus 2X RTX 5070 at auction, and I must say it has a slight problem. It's the very first 90° RTX 5070 model. Apparently, that's supposed to offer better performance... Anyway, I obviously had to disassemble it first to get it into my PC, otherwise, the heatsink was making contact with my RAM. I was able to see the extent of the damage. Some capacitors are slightly unsoldered, the heatsink is completely bent, but miraculously, it works. I've been able to test it so far without the fans because I still have a few things to straighten. But if anyone happens to have a compatible heatsink in good condition, I'd be very grateful! Let me know.
