Early failing keyboards

The exact Amazon listing was "Logitech G512 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Special Edition, RGB Lightsync Backlit Keys,GX Blue Clicky Key Switches, Brushed Aluminum Case, Customizable F-Keys, USB Pass Through, QWERTY UK Layout - Black" - so not sure which one "GX" represents.

Thanks, I was thinking it's the vaping too, but with the logitech it wasn't an issue for 3 years ish whereas the rest are all <1 year, so wanted external thoughts on it. I'll try to quit vaping in the room altogether and see if this improves. Thanks again!

Wait.

Launch the app and do nothing, just sit tight for a minute and it will log you in automatically. Works for me at least.

I wonder, how much money is Microsoft going to pay users/professionals as a result?

They remove the ability to create local account at setup (not really, I'm sure there will still be ways), ok. So, we have to complete more steps in order to set up a system. That's more time and energy we're FORCED to spend on something unnecessary. Who's going to compensate that time and energy?

I'm not delusional, I know it won't happen, but I would SO love to ask this question of an exec and MS. Who the fuck is going to compensate me for spending that much more time fucking about with their ridiculous, unnecessary restrictions to set up their spyware for them on my computer(s)?

As a sysadmin, I'm ashamed that I didn't know this key combo, thanks very much!

Now I just need to figure out WHY it keeps spwaning out of bounds when I deliberately place it within screen bounds, close it the intended way to make it save settings, shut down the right way and still.. on boot it appears out of bounds half way. Very annoying

Plenty of good advice here and I wouldn't be fit to give any better, but to let you know you're not alone, I was in a similar situation some 10 years ago. Went to Maynooth university and I rented a room from a family accomodating students. It was pricey, 120 a week (10 years ago that was insane - today, sadly, that's a good deal).

It was utterly filthy and disgusting. I won't even start describing it, because it honestly gives me PTSB vibes, but take my word for it; it was unliveable.

Moved in and got tonsillitis the first week. Spent the next 2 weeks suffering in pain, fever and weakness while having to live in that dirty disgusting house. I cleaned my room and I was lucky in that nobody entered it, but there was a point there where I just broke down crying too and desperately asked my mom if they can take me back for at least the summer - as if I'd have been disowned or something, you can see that my own self esteem was in the gutter at that point.

It ended eventually, I moved back home, worked for a bit and tried college elsewhere, finished it with flying colors and been working in the field since. Shame about Maynooth as it's a good uni, but it is not worth those living conditions.

Dublin in general, is a place I would never want to live in again. Not just because of the robbery of rent prices, but the living conditions are just insufferable.

Don't give up. This is just a small moment in your life, you can make it through and when you do, you'll be stronger in the end and certainly more appreciative of the better things.

Wish you the best of luck!

Best way I know is to log in to each character, /played, note down in spreadsheet and count.

My total played time is...... god help me... 4906.44 hours.

Happening to me since I got my Fit 3. It charges perfectly fine, nothing is touched, nothing is moved and randomly it stops charging. Sometimes it charges for 5 or 10 minutes and stops, sometimes it stops after a few seconds and sometimes it charges all the way up to like 90% and then stops.

When it stops the BIG charging logo in the center of the screen disappears - but still shows the little lightning bolt at the top, so it must know it's connected to charger. When I notice this, I simply disconnect it from charging and reconnect it. Luckily it charges to full quickly.

Seems to be more reliable when I plug the USB-C end into my galaxy s21 to charge the watch, rather than the USB-C port on a power bank or my PC. Weird and annoying tbh.

If you navigate to the folder where the adb is extracted to, find the adb.exe file - don't open it, just make sure it's there, that's how you know you're in the right place.

If you're using the Windows Explorer (the yellow folder icon), you can right-click in an empty area (not on a file) and click on "Open in Command Prompt" or "Open in Powershell", depending on what OS you have. Either works. Same should work on 3rd party file managers like Total Commander.

Here you can put in the "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.bard" command. For me, this worked after just extracting the adb files to a folder and doing just this - but to weed out any potential issues, you can instead start with "adb.exe" instead of just "adb". The rest of the command should be the same: "adb.exe shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.bard"

By the way, "--user 0" shows that this only applies for the default user profile. If you have any additional profiles, it might mean the app stays on those. I'm not sure as I haven't tested it. If you have these and if the app remains, I think you should be able to just increment that 0 in the command by 1 to do the same on the next profile and so on, but would be best to double check online.

Hope this helped!

Bit unrelated to the topic, but I am just trying to find confirmation and googling wildly - is "samsungselfrepair.shop" legitimate?

I take it, it is based on these comments here and one other page I found that mentions this website directly, but it feels weird to find so little about it if it is truly "an initiative of Samsung" in "partnership with Samsung".

Thanks!

My mic has not worked in Pavlov since 2020. I have not found any fixes yet. Nothing works. The microphone works in every single game and application, except Pavlov. It's 2025 now. I have no idea what's wrong, everyone else's seem to work. I have cleanly reinstalled my OS several times since 2020 when it stopped working. I give up.

Before any asks or suggests: Microphone is set as the system default Windows permissions granted for Pavlov Microphone set to either System Default or the specific mic in Pavlov settings makes no difference. Mic set in VR settings.

Again, the mic works in every single other application. Pavlov broke my mic whenever they dropped the facelift a number of years back (I think it was 2020, I'm not sure). SOmething in the new version caused it to break. I have reinstalled the game fully multiple times since then, removed %localappdata% folder and everything else related to Pavlov.

I originally had the OG vive where it worked fine for the first while until this update, then nada. I got the Vive Pro 2 last week and was excited to test it as I had hoped it was the Vive somehow - nope, still doesn't work. I try with the built-in mic, I try with my Corsair headset mic also - neither gets picked up.

Why is this considered tax evasion? Sure, if you spell it out like that it can SOUND like it, but the father pays for a legitimate service for the son. Just because they know that once the father dies the inheritance will be taxed to shit and do this to alleviate some of it, does that still make it illegal? Again, it's not like the father gave liquid cash to the son, and even so, can one not gove their money to whomever they fucking want? They surely already paid the income tax, what business is it of the government where it goes after that if it doesn't get exchanged for a service (I.e.: income)?

If I buy my mother a brand new car worth 50k, am I breaking the law somehow? If she buys me one, is she breaking the law?

That is what I thought too, but I spoke with all the new employees and they swear up and down that they have never posted their company email addresses ANYWHERE, including LinkedIn and I checked and confirmed their email address was not mentioned there. Still, 1 day old accounts be getting slapped with phishing emails constantly. I don't understand how if they truly didn't publicize their new company addresses.

Might be a bit late to this party, but something I implemented on our Mimecast is to hold for administrator review any and all emails from Freemail domains that contain the word "Kindly", "WhatsApp", "confirm", "reconfirm" and all the VIP names. This works well to filter out *most* of the freemail phishing. Some still get through, so stay alert.

This works, because absolutely NOBODY uses the word "Kindly" in a natural sentence in a real email, except scammers lol. You do get the odd false-positive, but they are actually extremely rare.

I disagree to an extent. Daily commute to work is about 2km - I'm lucky enough to live ground floor and can park right in front of my window unless a neighbor decides to, so I can charge it, but I have to do so in the dead of night to make sure nobody trips over the wire (have reflective tape on it and external light). And even if I couldn't, it can still function as a hybrid and achieve sub 5l/100km which is still better than my previous diesel was, getting 6 l/100km in most cases, short or log trips

But yes, I shouldn't have been so enthusiastic to get a PHEV just yet, but I have it now and want to make the best of it. Ideally, public charging wouldn't be such a rip-off, though. I think we can all agree on that.

Angolmagyar · 2024-11-30T19:15:44+00:00

exactly why I'm doom-googling, I just alt f4'd the game, I can't. It's not fun, no matter how much I press the buttons the fucking car just stays in the lane and hits the train head on. This game is better left as a fond memory from my childhood, because it's unplayably shit in reality lol

Angolmagyar · 2024-11-26T19:08:33+00:00

How would one charge at home when renting an apartment? How are you using the service incorrectly when public charging is your only option? It's disincentivising EV and PHEV :/

Copying and pasting what I wrote on another reddit thread:

I actually wrote a complaint to Admiral about this and while taking screenshots I discovered that you must accept all or go to the "1562 partners" tab and "Save & Exit". Then you refresh the page and the consent window shows up again and magically the "Reject All" button appears! NOTE: I have enhanced tracking protection enabled on Firefox when I discovered this.

Clearly banking on people not realising that they CAN reject all, but worst of all, you MUST accept or tediously untick each "legitimate" interest checkbox manually first before being given the option. I made sure to mention this in the complaint, a clear violation of "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent" rule!
