Hello everyone

Hope you’re all having a great start to your week. I’m here with some not so good news.

My pc issues have continued to get worse. I’m now having to send it off for repair. Supposed to be picked up today but may be with them for weeks, I’m not sure at this point. I will try to use another laptop/pc so that I can continue to get some work done but I need to warn you that it’s not a quick setup process and will no doubt have a knock on effect with my uploads. I’m truly gutted and wish there was a quick fix available. There’s also no guarantee that issues won’t arise once I get the machine back as support has found multiple software issues as well as my cpu being faulty. I have stressed to them that I need this sorting for work so I’m hopeful they’ll return it quickly but we shall see.

My mood is zapped from this. I’ve spent so much money to resolve tech issues to have more tech issues. Just my luck.

I can only apologise for any inconvenience this may cause with my schedule. All I ask is to remember that I’m just a singular person trying to create content for you all, I’m not a big business with people and money around to help fix things quickly. Just gotta do my best with what I have and hopefully it won’t effect workload too drastically

Much love to all of you and I hope you understand. I’m not stopping content, there just might be delays. Okay, I’m off to try and sort a temporary setup and tackle the wire management that’s been destroyed taking everything out to send off. BRB

It’s all good! Things happen that are out of your control. Easier said than done, but try not to stress about it too much. Best of luck.

I think everyone can understand this. Whatever obstacles you have to deal with, we'll be here. 👋🏻

Don't worry about it, gives me a chance to catch up on the other content I haven't had a chance to watch yet, - Buffy is calling me lol

Neil Silverman

That's frustrating beyond words, I'm sure. But no worries, I'm sure we're all pretty patient here. Good luck!

PaulC

No worries Dak, hope it all works out. Best of luck!

Michele

It's one of those big monster computer's. Loads of fun. Not. lol I hope they get it sorted for you quickly. Maybe take some time to play some computer games.

Mirko Paskota

Positive thoughts!! Sending you positive energy!!!

DakaraJayne

Now that sounds good! Thanks Michele 💜

This is what I like to hear! Enjoy the catch up Jaxon’s Jerseys 👍

Stuff happens, it's called life. It might be a pain, but don't lose sleep over it, I'm not.

Ryan Edlund

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I am building my own rig here starting tonight, so I am curious what you are running that had these issues. My first thought looking at your case was "hey that's the case I decided not to get due to poor air intake issues". I liked it due to the front panel ports, but not that (plus I wanted to be able to have an internal Blu-ray burner).

Graham Nickless

No worries and I can sympathise as I'm having IT issues at work too and even though we do have internal support, it's really frustrating and causing delays, so I totally understand. As others have said, it gives me time to catch up on your other videos. Good luck.

Holy moly dak how many mirrors have you broken , how many ladders have you walked under cuz damn you sure are having some terrible luck this year so far 😞 hope the pc gets fixed quick and things start to improve 🫂🙏🤞 sending positive vibes and hugs your way 🤗🥰

I know it can be frustrating or even stress-inducing when you have tech problems that impact your work, but an unexpected break NOT due to health issue should be a blessing. Go smell some flowers with your son and feel the sun of your face. (I do hope the weather is nice in your neck of the woods!) Sending light and positive vibes you way.

We could always pull together and raise some money for a new computer for Dak. I'd put in $100 or more.

Brian Dworak

Same! Guys, it's Dak. I mean, let's rally and support her in her time of need. We can't let the burden fall on her entirely, she's got personal responsibilities that supersede our fandom. Dak does a lot for us, let's do a lot for her.

DakaraJayne

It’s my cpu it’s an i9, shouldn’t be having issues. I think I just got really unlucky tbh. I wish I did research on the case, it’s a new case too. Hope your build goes well

DakaraJayne

Thanks so much. Weather not great today but it was nice to having extra time with Grayson. Managed to take him to the dentist and pharmacy and back to school. It’s not much but mum things ☺️💜

DakaraJayne

Bless you guys. I would never expect or ask for that though. I will sort it, just hopefully sooner than later. They’re saying collection is on Thursday now, I’ve been messed about a lot tbh. I’ve fixed up a temporary setup, just a few extras I have to sort with software but hopefully I can start filming at least. Just scared it’ll crash and then it messes up the reaction. We shall see though.

Brian Dworak

We've got your back, Dak. You do so much for us, let us do the same for you. We support each other in our community and it's family.

My build is just about done now, just have to do a bit of cable management and transfer over some old HDDs from the old system, and finish installing all the apps again/customizing the OS. I went with the i9-14900k... I know a big thing with these is cooling, so I went as far as I could to keep it cool - other than a custom loop water-cooled system. I have yet to fully stress test it, but, fingers crossed, with the loads I have put it through so far (doing app/game installs mostly) I haven't seen it go over 60° C. I also expect (based on everything I have been reading/watching about these, I will need to go in and undervolt/set power limits, as by default motherboard manufacturers allow it to hit voltages higher than the CPU is rated to run at, which may result in your machine cooking itself to death over time. My AIO water cooler should be able to handle the heat, but probably better safe than sorry. I know the "silicon lottery" is a thing though sounds like you may just have gotten a bit unlucky. To be honest though, even then most of the time often the CPU isn't bad per-se, it just may need down-clocked or voltages tweaked to run stable. I am curious as to what issues you were seeing to know what to avoid... 😂

Brian Dworak

I'll match whatever you donate. I mean, lets come together and make it a priority. How can we not? Dak, you're muted. 😉

Brian Dworak

Okay, so we have folks that want to help Dak and maybe more will join if they happen upon these posts. If you're unable to that's completely understandable, so don't feel pressured whatsoever. I think the easiest way to do it is through Ko-fi. I'll need to wait until next week, but I think I might up it to £150-200 because Dak is Dak. But again, don't feel pressured. £5 helps as well. Let's show what this wonderful community can do to show support.

no need to apologize, it's not like you jacked up your pc lol. i feel like i should use this as an opportunity to catch up on all the teen wolf and grimm uploads i've missed but i'm more likely to rewatch your lucifer episodes lol. my point is, don't worry about us, we're not going anywhere, we're not about to jump ship if you miss a few uploads here and there because of this (p.s. i know, i just kind of disappeared, i'm sorry! i tend to fall off of shows after a while even if i love them but especially when the story is going places i don't enjoy rewatching i.e the absolutely BS with juliette and weirdness with adalind, and just straight up dwindling cast of TW from S4 on. S3 was just so peak that the later seasons are kinda hard to watch for me)

Brian Dworak

Just a quick update on the Help Dak Fund. I was going to buy a new computer/gaming chair, but I received a very nice one for my birthday about two weeks ago. I'll be sending the money I was going to spend on that to Dak. Nobody should feel any pressure at all, but I know a few of us showed interest in doing so. Ko-fi is probably the best way, at least in my opinion. It's Dak.
