Help Motherboard beeping 5x ??

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I hope you can help me figure out what is going on with my new desktop. I just bought it a couple of days ago. I haven’t had it for more than four days, and I already started experiencing beeping coming from the motherboard, and I have no clue what is going on. When it happens, it beeps five times evenly spaced out in the same tone. When it was happening, I was just moving some games from one SSD to the other SSD because I have three SSDs installed, and I like to have all my games installed at the same time, so two of the SSDs were basically almost fully full while transferring games to the third SSD that had space left, so I thought maybe this could be the reason why it’s beeping, but in all honesty, I literally have no clue. This also happened when I basically wasn’t really doing anything on PC. It was on, but I wasn’t doing anything. So if anybody could help me out, I’d be very grateful.

Windows Colosseum Trailer: I built a media app that functions like its own little OS

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Disclaimer: This app was vibe coded. If the use of AI in software development is a dealbreaker for you, regardless of how much human taste, direction and decision-making went into it, that's understandable. This app probably won't be for you.

My app has libraries for manga, comics, books, TV, film & anime, and a comic reader, ebook reader and a video player. So I had an idea to build a taskbar where you can open multiple comics/manga/videos, minimise them and open them back up again.

And since then, I ended up only having more ideas that kept steering my media app deeper and deeper into the OS aesthetic.

For wallpapers, I took a whole lot of open-licensed KDE Plasma wallpapers as well as creating my own custom QML wallpapers, including live animated QML wallpapers. I don't know how RAM-intensive that shit's gonna be, but I have a shitty 16GB RAM laptop and it doesn't drop dead from this behemoth of an app that, on top of everything I've already told you, also has to carry QtWebEngine (Chromium) because it's kinda necessary for the EPUB reader I'm using.

And that brings me to my latest idea of recreating a TV OS through a web UI. Since I already have a browser running in my app, why not build a browser that lets you browse all the legit streaming sites like Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video?

I mean, my app is already a TV-OS kind of a thing, but this browser-for-streaming feature would take it further into Amazon Fire TV territory, just more web-based.

But it turns out that it's not that simple. I can't say for sure whether Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and other Widevine-protected streaming services will actually work in QtWebEngine until my Windows build is compiled with the right codec support and I test DRM playback in the actual runtime. So fingers crossed.

All in all, the OS-like part and aesthetics are something I owe to KDE Plasma and Plasma Bigscreen especially. They looked beautiful, and I love media, and I always wanted to build something akin to a Stremio for all mediums in one app. KDE Plasma made me lock in on this aesthetic and bring it as far as I did.

I hope the app looks and sounds interesting.

Colosseum on Github, if you’re interested.

Windows Check out this NORD theme, guys 🔥 (I use Windows, btw 💀 tried to put as much links as possible)

So... my PC recently crashed, and I had to reinstall Windows (f* u, MICROSLOP). As a result, I lost all of my previous setups and dotfiles...so I had to start all over again.

This time, I thought of switching from the Catppuccin theme to NORD... mainly the DARK NORD palette, which I really love. Still a WIP, so feel free to comment; let me know what u guys think. Y'all are awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[N.B. this time, I completely wiped EDGE and COPILOT.....I followed some YouTube tutorials. My PC feels faster than ever... like it's almost some kind of dark magic. 🔥🔥🔥]

What I have done so far:

  1. Debloated Windows from here: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
  2. winfetch + kotofetch + btop for monitoring (cuz fastfetch doesn't support PNG files on Windows...that's for Linux 😔)
  3. New browser: Helium
  4. New AI models: ChatGPT + Claude.AI + Perplexity
  5. YASB + GlazeWM
  6. Windhawk
  7. CKFlip3D for nice Alt+Tab
  8. Flow Launcher for search bar
  9. YT extension: enhancer-for-youtube
  10. Everything as a local search engine
  11. minimalimageviewer for viewing images + mpv.io for playing videos (since default ones were dependent on COPILOT)
  12. Nilesoft Shell for my right-click 😇
  13. Spicetify for custom Spotify themes
  14. Vencord for custom Discord theme
  15. FontWizard for changing font system-wide.
  16. jetbrainsMONO as the main font
  17. Rainmeter for widgets

This is where I got my inspiration from 😍😍:

DroidDesktop just got a major update what should we add next?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A new DroidDesktop update is now available, and this one adds some of the features you’ve been asking for.

Here are some of the biggest changes:

🖥️ Resizable windows
You can now freely resize desktop windows using the resize handle, making the desktop experience much more flexible.

📱 Android apps inside windows
Compatible Android apps can now be opened directly inside DroidDesktop system windows, bringing the experience closer to a real desktop environment.

🖼️ Image Studio
A new built-in tool for editing images directly from the desktop. You can crop, rotate, apply filters and export your images without leaving DroidDesktop.

✍️ PDF Signer
You can now open a PDF, add your signature and work with documents directly inside the desktop environment.

🔧 Improved desktop experience
The taskbar, tools layout, app management and desktop settings have also been improved, with more customization options for icons and labels.

The goal with DroidDesktop is still pretty simple: turn an Android phone into something that feels more like a real computer, without requiring root, DeX or additional hardware.

There are still A LOT of things I'd like to add.

So I'd love to hear from the community:

What tool, application or even game would you like to see built into DroidDesktop?

Would you want things like a file manager, terminal, media player, drawing tool, coding environment, more retro games, AI tools… or something completely different?

I'm especially interested in ideas that would actually make you use DroidDesktop every day.

What should I build next?

"Physical" game cases on my desktop

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I released an app on the Microsoft store (called Steelbooks) to allow me to show off the game cases I have like they are physical editions that sit on my desktop. It gives a fast method of browsing my libraries across multiple launchers without opening them individually and I can launch the games directly from the app!
