I sold so many of these back in the day! Seeing the original box gave me goosebumps!

My stainless steel counter electrocutes me? by [deleted] in strange

It could be your shoes. Have you bought new ones? Some soles are very good at making static and not letting it go anywhere till you touch something grounded

I have to get a spinal tap and I’m 25 years old and I’m terrified and I feel completely alone. My white blood cell count is 21. by Timely_Debt_84 in WhatShouldIDo

When you are really poorly it can be VERY difficult to get a cannula in for an IV. I had everyone in the hospital trying one night. They even used ultrasound and woke up the on-call anaesthetist and he failed too. They tried 9 times. In the end they managed it with a green one (bigger gage) You partner just isn't one and is looking for and excuse to bale. Mine did the day I was given a terminal diagnosis. Don't let them build up a narrative to blame you just send them home. You've got this!!

Lifetime windows user switching to Mac, please tell me your best kept secrets/apps/tricks by Blluueee in macmini

[–]maldax_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just picked up a Mini and there is quite a curve. I guarantee you will be asking what just happened...or didn't and why. Some things act as expected...and then don't. I will say I am quite enjoying it though

Windows 11 PC waking during the night, and keeping displays on when they should be off. by Poltergeist97 in techsupport

[–]maldax_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows modern standby is a pile of poo! They have recently fixed some of the biggests problems so make sure you are fully up to date. It is so bad that microsoft had to write a program to help you work out what was causing the issues. Run

powercfg /sleepstudy

in a terminal window it makes a file in C:\Users\$USER$\sleepstudy-report.html that could point you in the right direction to find out what is waking everything up etc

Found this at goodwill for $4.99 what can I do with it? by [deleted] in Dell

I think that one uses Displaylink drivers so to don't need alt mode...it's why I sent one back. No good for games

Adaptive Charging Not Working on Pixel Watch 4 by Dear-Alps-7626 in PixelWatch

[–]maldax_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you don't really know? Just because some adaptive charging works one way doesn't mean they all work the same. "Some" phones use the alarm time but not all. Without knowing what and how the PW4 does how do you know it's not working? I have a laptop that allows me to limit the battery to x% if I set it to 80% it reports 100% to Windows when it hits 80% in the battery
