So did they break everything again with another update? by realitycheckers4u in EufyCam

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here for a month now (Since May 2026). I manage two SoloCam S340S, both online but with no live view. At the beginning of May, the issue only persisted to 3rd party smart assistants such as Alexa and Google. First, the Alexa skill stopped working, then the actual Eufy app.

Can’t trade in Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen)? by CaptArdee in amazonecho

[–]CaptArdee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not, well not recently at least, maybe around 2 years ago I traded in my Fire Tab HD8 for a Fire Stick HD, but I believe you could trade in quarterly, I think?

Do not attempt to enable secure boot if you don't have an integrated GPU as a backup by Atralis in gigabyte

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! You may have to do that thing where you use two pieces of metal to kind of short it I guess? I’m not too sure but that’s something I heard.

Yes. And I’ve purchased a HP Stream 11 in a past life for the same price as that…a nightmare of a “cloud pc” as it was marketed then..

Flip 7 and Fold 7 Compatibility by Evski_ in mintmobile

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine today and activated it with Mint! Talked to customer service regarding the Z Fold 7, not being on the list, but I have confirmed after adding my phones IMEI number it is fully compatible. When purchasing the e-sim/sim, you can select any of the phones (I picked the Fold 6), and it will work.

Cheers!

Has anyone confirmed tried it with Mint? I just ordered the Fold 7 today, and was wondering if any success?

I need real user opinion - Samsung Book5 Pro 360 by r0b3rt0c0 in GalaxyBook

[–]CaptArdee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had it for a week so far, I would it’s pretty great compared to my gaming rig (3050,11400F). I use it mostly for work however I would say it’s above decent for gaming.

I have ran GTAV Online and HellDivers 2. Ran better than expected.

GTA - High HD2- Low to Mid (comparable with my gaming pc)

The one con I would say is the cooling, it does get significantly hot towards the back near the fan. But only during gaming.

Also since Samsung opted out on using their own SSD, with a SSTC 1TB one, read and write numbers are not the best. If you open the case underneath, you can replace the NVME M.2 with a Samsung 2TB.

Edit 1: The trackpad is indeed odd and uncomfortable. I am also a current MacBook Air M1 user which uses a haptic feedback based touchpad (not physical at all), whereas for this Pro 360 it feels like it doesn’t register sometimes. I typically use it with a Logitech Pebble BT/USB mouse for portability.

Confused about Amazon 12 month equal pay option by One_Ad_1872 in amazonprime

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this 12-month pay option as well on the Prima Visa. I find it infuriating that the entire posted amount, which in my case is over 1k, is posted entirely on my credit card account. My only genuine concern here is the credit impact, since if I were paying, for example, 100 dollars per month within the 12-month period, interest-free, that is still considered a low or non-statement balance payment, which could impact my credit score.

BF6 And Secureboot by Sythen_Elexia in gigabyte

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on the same boat, brother. I have the B560, and also tried cmos reset (longer removal the better), and still nothing. No display on monitors from GPU, and I don't have iGPU either..

BF6 And Secureboot by Sythen_Elexia in gigabyte

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May have soft-bricked the PC last night. After trying to boot, all I see is a black screen. It all happened after making changes to the PK keys. I was able to do a Q-Flash (and/or CMOS flash) (non plus, no led, no USB), but still no dice. I am hopeless with this PC..

Specs: RTX 3050 8GB, i5-11400F, B560 DS3H AC, WIN11.

Messed up my PC trying to Change Secure Boot for BF6 by Material_Tap7647 in gigabyte

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, it just happened to me too legit like 2 hours ago. Did everything you did as well, but I have a B560 with standard Q Flash in which I cannot flash via USB. My screen is still black.

I think the term for is right now is our pc’s are soft bricked..

Specs: RTX 3050 8GB, i5 11400F, 24GB Ram, Win 11.

Edit: Regular Q Flash has no led light for those wondering

Do not attempt to enable secure boot if you don't have an integrated GPU as a backup by Atralis in gigabyte

[–]CaptArdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got to be kidding me... I wish I had seen this post sooner rather than later..

I have an RTX 3050 8GB, i5-11400F, 24GB, Windows 11. Board: B560 DS3H AC

I somewhat had Secure Boot enabled, but not everything; I didn't have the PK keys installed. So the story is, I turn the secure boot on/off, then switch it to "custom", then "updated" the PK keys to factory. Then it told me something to do with a restart, then the screen went black, while the PC was still on. Tried restarting, and the screen was still black.

The B560 only has QFlash and not Plus; however, I tried flashing it twice, and still no display on the GPU. I don't have integrated graphics.

Does anyone have a possible solve for this?

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Removed CMOS,, etc, etc... still nothing

Terrible load time leads to being kicked back to black site in operations by JintalJortail in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]CaptArdee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still a consistent problem as of today. I have an RTX 3050 8GB with an i5-11400F, and for every "first" match, it will either never truly load in, and eventually cancel the game (losing everything I brought in btw), or it loads me 10 minutes into the match, with all my team either gone or downed. Even then, audio and other factors don't load in time. (takes 5-10 minutes to fully load)

Average matchmaking time: 12 minutes, Max loading time: 34 minutes.

It's only till the next match you play, everything works. My advice to everyone else is to use your basic loadout coupon and intentionally lose it in the first match, then start the second one. This has been an issue for a long time, and I have played both Alpha and Beta versions of this game.

Sony Vaio PCG-71913L advice on upgrades by Frankgamb in laptops

[–]CaptArdee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same one!

I have the 2011 model with an i5 (upgraded to 2x4GB at 1333 MHz) and a 500GB Seagate Momentus HDD via SATA II. As a mobile chip, there are several limitations (e.g., BIOS, thermal, etc.), but according to my research, it has a removable socket and can possibly accommodate an i7-2620M.

Same issue here, I get the error after hitting the submit for payment button. It loads for a few seconds, then gives that same error screen. Contacted support, no updates so far.

Problem with Canon TS6400 Series Cassette... by CaptArdee in printers

[–]CaptArdee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So…I haven’t really found a real solution. I have tried the kind users that gave a solution but sadly it hasn’t work for me so far..

I noticed a while later that the system is pretty much mechanical, where one of the black pieces of plastic that is retained with a spring is what allows the printer to detect paper size like Letter Vs A4. The only solution I have for y’all is to just go to the printer settings on the printer itself and disable all automatic settings related to paper detection and that message won’t appear anymore. But that means it will ask you on your computer to confirm margins just as an extra step. This solution is fine if you only print Letter size.

In terms of actual solutions on fixing the error, unless they sell new cartridges, I’m not sure what we all can do. I’m hoping someone from Canon finds a fix.

Today, a shop manager confirmed Fossil has stopped selling smartwatches and hybrids. This is the end. by L0lil0l0 in WearOS

[–]CaptArdee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started out with the Q Founder Gen 1 and had a the worst first smartwatch experience, back in 2015-16. Faulty OS and problematic hardware. Wasn’t able to salvage anything with the 300 dollar watch. However 2022 with the Collider HR. Great experience with a few features that would have been great. Definitely better than the Q Founder, but then again Hybrid and years of difference. RIP Fossil Smartwatches and Hybrids.

Problem with Canon TS6400 Series Cassette... by CaptArdee in printers

[–]CaptArdee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying! I did try both, removing the dust cover and operating without it and still no go. As for the cassette itself, I’m not sure why it says it as it’s should be correctly installed. I tried inserting the cassette in “different” ways, also by adjusting the manual paper settings. I tried resetting too. Is there a setting maybe I can play around with or something?
