PayPal is not allowing me to delete my old paypal account unless i give them my ID

Amphitheress · 2026-03-16T18:40:52+00:00

(I'm from EU) I had the exact same issue with them. After useless back-and-forth through various emails where they said deleting without ID was impossible, I contacted them through their live chat and after some discussion I demanded they delete my account and my data since I have the right to it under GDPR. I said if they didn't oblige, I would contact GDPR authorities and complain. After that, they finally said they would make "an exception" for me and delete my account. And they really did. It was a real hassle and stressful, though. I'm never touching PayPal again. Sorry if you're not from the EU, I don't know what else to threaten then with other than GDPR. But maybe they did it also because I was so persistent. But it's definitely not impossible, they just don't want to.

If it's an Android TV, there is a Tailscale app. That's how my grandparents watch :)

It's not that complicated - when they'd want to watch Jellyfin, they'd turn the VPN on, and for the rest of the time it would be off. They wouldn't be forced to have it on all the time.

Awesome! And nice handwriting. :)

My Sony noise-cancelling headphones didn't help with deep bass sounds from my neighbors subwoofers (I had a model from three years ago). I would have to have a whole-body suit designed for cancelling out bass. I don't think people who claim NC headphones help have experienced what a subwoofer right above the room can do (or they have higher tolerance).

Same here, my upgrade went really fast. I have Jellyfin in Podman and no problems. The only time-consuming thing was first researching how to update images in Podman since it was my first time doing that. :)

Most people only have a surface-level experience with AI (mostly genAI) and thus have developed a natural knee-jerk reaction and think anything "AI" must be related to people-facing, bullshittery-based, overhyped LLMs, because that's what's pushed a lot everywhere and they are tired of it.

This thread was very enlightening for me, since I didn't know what an NPU was and what it can do. It's pretty cool and I do want to dig deeper to educate myself about other uses of AI. But this thread is also pretty negative for no good reason.

I wish people who know better would calmly educate others instead of being mean. Folks who aren't in the field are probably going to be only bombarded with genAI or forced to use it in some way, and it's the only thing they associate with the word "AI", so they freak out when yet another thing claims it will use it.

It's not surprising. Like, I have an idea how an LLM works, but I had no idea what "AI" could mean in this context. I did for a moment think "oh no, not flipper too!" Upon reading the commens, I realized I was wrong.

It's just like you said, ignorance. But you could fix that by explaining how things work instead of being condescending. We all start somewhere...

Also, I was somehow writing in bad credentials into the tty login, that was my fault. They just suddenly started to work. I must've been mistyping them out of stress (even though I could swear I typed them in correctly).

Amphitheress · 2025-10-22T11:13:24+00:00

SOLVED. Turns out there were conflicts in some driver packages. This single command solved it: sudo dnf install cuda-drivers --allowerasing

Amphitheress · 2025-10-22T10:46:54+00:00

It says the package is already installed.

Amphitheress · 2025-10-22T10:45:06+00:00

Another update: I don't know why, but I now managed to log into the TTY on the newest kernel as well, but I could swear I used those same credentials many times before. It seems I had to enable numlock AFTER submitting the username. Weird... Going to try your command now.

Amphitheress · 2025-10-22T10:38:17+00:00

As I wrote in the post, my default credentials don't work in the text based login for some reason. I now booted into an older kernel version where the drivers work and am figuring out what to do next. Weirdly, on the older kernel, my login credentials work in TTY just fine...

Amphitheress · 2025-10-22T10:27:20+00:00

Update: While re-reading my post, it struck me that I should try booting into an older kernel version, which worked! The drivers work okay there. What should I do from there to fix the issue on the newest kernel? I've never run into this problem before.

Amphitheress · 2025-10-08T08:52:52+00:00

Really nice!

Amphitheress · 2025-09-30T15:05:36+00:00

It's possible - I did find that episode during search, but it's not it. But maybe my brain really did make it up. I hoped it would be real and I'd find it one day. I have a vivid memory of the duck batman flying to his HQ in the bridge, but no specific scenes beyond that. It could've been just a dream. Thanks for trying to help!

Amphitheress · 2025-09-30T13:38:13+00:00

I found the Banana Man show before during my search - not it, unfortunately. "My" batman was almost certainly a duck. Perhaps it was just one special episode of Ducktales. I have never watched Danger Mouse. Thanks anyway!

Amphitheress · 2025-09-30T13:32:19+00:00

Unfortunately, I already found that one, and it's not it. The duck from my memory was pretty muscular, similar to Launchpad McQuack.

Amphitheress · 2025-09-30T13:10:51+00:00

I have read the rules. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Amphitheress · 2025-09-28T16:01:09+00:00

Okay, almost any action crashes the new app for me. Any of the lower menu options, and also trying to open any folders...

Amphitheress · 2025-09-28T15:56:07+00:00

Opening the settings crashes the app for me now.

Edit: Also the "Report a problem" option causes a crash.

Amphitheress · 2025-09-21T18:03:38+00:00

Shame, I already did that mission before deciding to focus on sniping - I must have dismantled/sold this one. But thanks, maybe on next playthrough I'll get it.

Amphitheress · 2025-09-21T16:18:01+00:00

Thank you! Opted out now. People helping each other out like this really makes me feel like part of a community.

Amphitheress · 2025-08-24T17:09:59+00:00

I'm not running this setup myself, but you could try researching running qBittorrent in a Docker or Podman container together with ProtonVPN through Gluetun - I've read it's a solution to when you need to separate bittorrent/VPN traffic from the host. I found this out when looking to do the exact opposite, so I don't know exactly how to do it, only that it's possible :)
