I tried that and it doesn’t work the times I’ve tried.

I’ve been looking for something like this to block Reddit links. Not just because it’s trash now but I’ve found it randomly blocks my IP address. Sometimes I can access and other times I can’t. It’s blocked us entirely at work and is so frustrating when I’m looking for help on something I’m troubleshooting. Would rather those just not appear to begin with.

That and GettyImages, I hate getting those in my image search results on Google because you can never actually download the image you are looking for.

Looks like such a sweet dog with a lot of stories to tell

Where did this come from? If a graphics card, it may be difficult to gift it.

I had this happen a short time ago where I got a new GPU and they gifted me a game I already owned and I tried giving it away on here and found that I had to run through all these time based verifications and basically only I could redeem it.

If you have just the Steam key, you can give that to someone and they can claim the game and that’s that. But you may not want to post it directly on somewhere because bots are known to roam the internet and steal them first to sell them on weird websites.

You might have some issues with that…it sucks and can be unfair.

Reminds me of the season from Silicon Valley.

Always assume your company is watching your behavior on their equipment. I work in IT for my company and users have no idea the kinds of things we can see. Not that we do, but we can and do when necessary like security incidents.

It’s me on Half Life Alyx with the blind dude who has you cornered. I legit was looking to insert a saved game to bypass this level and it seems I’m not alone with others sharing that specific save game.

It’s too damn hard 😩

You sound like you come from a welcoming place with kind people, unlike the US lmao

I’m not familiar on that platform, unfortunately, as I’m on iPhone.

But I think you should still be able to use virustotal’s website on mobile to check websites and also files.

There may be a sandbox app available for Android, but I’m not aware of any particular ones to recommend.

You can check URLs and files at virustotal.com for free.

If you have Windows 10/11 Pro and your computer supports virtualization, you can enable the Windows Sandbox in Windows Features too. This creates a temporary virtual machine with the bare essentials and no antivirus built in for testing stuff like this to see what the worst case scenario is if you visited/accessed.

Those old spinning disk drives are notoriously slow. You’d be better off with a USB flash drive in some cases.

But your best bet is biting the bullet and getting an SSD. They’re not terribly expensive anymore. You’ll pay about as much as a game costs for one, whether you want an external one to connect via USB or get the internal SSD and make the upgrade to a larger drive.

I haven’t done this on the Series X but I did do this on the One X and it was fairly easy following Microsoft’s guide online. I recently bought a 2TB SSD for $130 at Best Buy to upgrade in my gaming computer at home. This is the same kind that goes into your Xbox Series X internally. You could also spend about double and go for the 4TB option.

 

It’s imitation lobster I bought for salad but thought I’d try this today because I wanted a sandwich and wanted some “lobster” too.

The lettuce is fresh from my backyard. Best thing I did this year was buy this 6 pack of lettuce plants for like $5 and have been using it ever since for sandwiches and salads.

Also added avocado and Roma tomato. And then added mayonnaise and siracha mayonnaise for the spread. You can see some of the siracha mayo on the lobster on the side.

Very delicious and definitely recommend.

 

Sorry if this is not the right community to ask this, but I just wondered this today.

Users often think of Linux as being more complicated to use than something like Windows or macOS, but I’m sure there are plenty of things made easier in Linux than the other two more common consumer OSes.

What are some that come to mind for you?

 

I got a new AIO cooler and needed to also move to a bigger desktop case.

So I moved all of my internal components from one case to the other and also removed the old AIO and installed the new one. Besides that, I might have damaged my PSU in the process so I had to replace that too. It wouldn’t turn on anymore so I just replaced it this morning.

I tried booting into Windows and it went to a BSOD saying cache_manager was the problem.

I tried to get a recovery in there and Windows tried to automatically repair drives but kept coming up on this same error.

I created a KDE Neon live USB and booted into that. Zero issues. I then manually formatted my Windows OS disk in KDE and also removed the Windows bootloader. Basically trying to start from a scratch system with no Microsoft any.

Still getting the BSOD, even with the Windows 11 USB installer I created from their creation tool. I am able to get to that purple screen in the installer and see a cursor to move around with my mouse. That’s the part in the Windows installer where you tell it what edition and which drive you want to choose. But after a few moments, it errors out to a BSOD.

Now I’ve actually went ahead and installed KDE Neon to my system. I use it on my laptop, but I need Windows on this computer for work (it’s my personal computer I game with but also use for remoting in for work).

I’m going to try redoing my USB as a new Windows 11 installer and see if that goes through, but wondering if there’s anything else I can do for this? Anything else to try?

 

I say “recently” in a relative way, more so countries that have split in the last century. Places like North and South Korea, Taiwan and China, former USSR states, etc.

Has enough time passed that these countries separated have major changes in their languages yet?

 

This shit grinds my gears so fucking hard.

 

I got a Dell Latitude 7400 2 in 1 from my job they were going to ewaste. I daily drive KDE Neon on it and I love it. However, one of its two USB type C ports isn’t working for charging or data transfer. I inspected the port but found no obvious damage. How can I troubleshoot and fix this? I’ve searched YouTube and online sites but haven’t found helpful guidance.

 
 

I get it if it’s at a place like Starbucks when you verbally say it. Everyone has a special way of spelling their name and you can’t know the spelling based on how it was said.

But when my name is literally written out in the previous email and you are replying to that email…bruh.

Makes me want to passive aggressively write theirs incorrectly too.

 

Just thinking about collector’s cups like limited edition Super Bowl memorabilia or whatever.

I realize that I prefer to use them rather than keep them pristine. I have a Chiefs winner shirt an ex gave me and I just wear it despite her saying it’d probably be worth something someday lol

 

I swear off so many products and services for no other reason than their obnoxious, repetitive commercials.

Off top of my head, I will never buy Old Spice anything because their ads are so repetitive and obnoxious. I feel disgust when I see it in the store and actively avoid it for no other reason than their spam campaigns.

Same for USAA, Native body wash, AmEx, Liberty insurance (that forced catchy theme), and more.

Anyone else feel the same way? Or have you caught yourself getting suckered in because of ads’ subconscious shenanigans?
