Do not have the same problem, but some stuff is wrong in my replay too. Like I've played a game in December, and even right before steam replay started and it shows up in November for some reason and some games are missing, and I am always online.

Another tip is to use interdental brushes, never thought I was able to use them properly until I watched a video about it. Was a pain for the first two weeks and got bleeding gums every time, since then no problems at all, I use them in the morning and evening and floss once a day.

Hmm, I am programming as a hobby, but I tried getting into it several times without 'getting' it too. I then somehow found the free cs50x online course and got hooked and finished all exercises. What helped me were clear goals to work toward and the immediate evaluation of the exercises. I could not get any of this from books or websites alone. I especially loved the sql problem sets.

I then worked on my last submission for a long time, which was a work related application. It worked fine on android and linux and I was proud to submit it, but there was no way to compile the program to get it to work on ios (yeah we've got iphones at work...) without a mac.

So then I rebuild the entire app in JavaScript and made it into a multiplatform progressive web app (My main goals were to make it completely work offline and then sync to my server and to let it run on (almost) every device.). I learned a lot in this time, it still got bugs, and designing the ui is somewhat painful (though I love working with inkscape to make icons and pictures and stuff, css though...) but this year I was able to get a test run at work and it was really helpful so far.

Bye, bye maintaining our large, confusing, error riddled, ancient excel tables by hand staring at them for hours!

I still got lots of features I want to implement and bugs to fix. I am aware that my app won't be up to industry standards (no access to some expensive equipment and rule books), but it is still helpful and it is a lot of fun to work on.

And what happend since I am familiar with python and js and such is, that I try to automate everything, even if it sometimes takes more time to write the scripts. With more and more practice I find more and more problems to solve, like I want to build a weight training tracking app, and I know there are many available, but why not?

You need to find some clear goals and get hooked, and yeah that is something that I struggle with too. (I want to get into playing piano, but I currently struggle to make it click too). Too many hobbies and too few time...

No, no, make it ultra secure and display none it, every website will be a database of important information, you just have to put everything into a hidden table!!

Lidl does have some zero caffeine and zero sugar cola. They introduced it this year I think.

It is not, with broccoli and cauliflower you literally eat the buds, or how they are called in English, and they can of course flower.

Can't get it to work either, maybe some of the games are blocked in some regions?

I don't know codecademy, but there is also:
cs50x
Don't know what people think of it, but it helped me a lot in understanding the basics of programming and I really liked the exercises. But I am just a hobby programmer working on smaller stuff.

They did install something like this one time at one of my local supermarkets to deter loitering teenagers, I have sensitive ears and am not even close being a teenager anymore but could hear this shit and it was loud as fuck. Went shopping elsewhere...

And then there are some cars which give off really annoying high pitched sounds to fend of rodents or something, at least that is what I guess. Really awesome when you have to work near a patking lot...

None of my coworkers can hear any of it, but they never wear hearing protection and some of them are nearly deaf.

Touch controls everywhere, I've got an induction cook top which is all touch, (temperature is a bar you can drag) guess what happens when you've got some spillage while cooking. Yeah, if you are lucky nothing happens, but I had it several times shutting itself down, or adjusting the temperature, which is fucking stupid and dangerous. You want to get rid of the water with a towel? Something will trigger. Really great.

Letting the computer decide what is best for you. There was/is this feature?! in windows 10, or 11 where it sets the color of your font on the desktop based on your wallpaper, and I did not find a way to change it. So what happens when you've got a wallpaper that is bright on top and darker on the bottom, like maybe a landscape image? Guess you are just not reading any of the text on the top half...

Yeah, I've still got a win11 install, but every game that did not run on linux did not run on win11 either. I do not play multiplayer games though and those games had pretty obscure engines. Compatibility with older games is great though.
I rarely use windows these days, and I hate that updates can take up to half an hour and you can't do anything with your system.

I know some, I guess, hope I do not butcher them:

German(native): Bitte/ Danke (sehr) or Vielen Dank,

English: please/ thank you (very much),

Japanese: どうぞ or おねがいします or ください/ (どうも)ありがとう(ございます) (Which is douzo (when you offer someone something, I think, onegaishimasu/kudasai (if you want something or someone to do something, which is following the request.)/ (domo)arigatou(gozaimasu),

Norwegian: vær så snill / (tusen) takk,
(Which is like "Sei so gut/lieb"/ "Tausend Dank" in German.),

Romanian: vă rog or te rog (formal/informal)/ mulțumesc ((foarte) mult) or mersi (mult) (ă is a short a, I guess and ț is like the ts from "its", or a German z)

French: s'il vous plait (that one I had to look up on how to write)/ merci

Polish: proszę (bardzo)/ dzięki or dziękuję (bardzo) (Like proshe/ djenki/djenkuje)(ę is nasalized)

Portuguese: faz favor or por favor/ obrigado or obrigada (male/female) (o is spoken like an u) (I do not know much Portuguese (like French and Polish), in my book (European Portuguese faz favor and por favor are used, but I do not know the differences.)

 

Hi there, hope this is the right place for something like this.

So today I used my computer like normal, everything was fine this morning.
Then after a brief walk I came home and it won't turn on since.
When I click the power button there is the normal click sound of the psu and nothing happens.
My keyboard lights up, the ethernet port lights up, but other than that - nothing. Already tried to remove the ram, the graphics card (just removing the power cable of it turns on its red light), removing just the cpu power cable does turn on the motherboars red status light, but non of the fans or other status leds light up.

My build is not new and other than the keyboard I did not change anything lately.
The build consists of:
Asus ROG Strix B550 A
Ryzen 5600x
32 GB Ram (Crucial ballistix)
Asus RTX 3060ti
Corsair RM650 PSU

I also unplugged the psu for a while. It makes a slight buzzy noise after powering the computer, but I do not know if this is normal.

Can anybody help me please?

Edit: Thank you all for helping, I installed a new psu and everything is working again! Thank you.
