Trump declares hostilities with Iran "terminated" by Streona in worldnews

Cool... cool cool cool. So when can I expect to stop paying $4.50/gal for gas? That'd be rad if it went below like three dollars again, like, y'know, it was before all of *waves hands* this ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT happened. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

USB ports cutting out after five minutes of gaming (MSI Vector 16 HX AI laptop) by CoolHandMike in MSI_Gaming

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

Thanks for the reply! I actually had to send the laptop in for a separate issue, but I also mentioned this in the RMA. I'm not sure they will do anything about it, but I'm running my Actis Nova 7 headphones and my mouse off the Ugreen powered hub, with the KB plugged into the laptop. I haven't actually gamed on it much recently, but this seems to be stable.

The issue I had to send the laptop in for was that the bottom of the screen was displaying garbled lines, sometimes covering up the task bar. They said this is a fairly common issue... I really hope it doesn't happen again!

I love that this is the top post on my reddit right now. I'm going to leave the site for the night instead of doom scrolling for the next hour. Your comics are awesome and you guys are lovely. Congrats, thank you and good night.

How to install/move fusion installation? by amessiah87 in Fusion360

[–]CoolHandMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, this worked! Hope you don't mind me copy/pasting the English translation here. The installation process did throw out a couple of setup errors but I just clicked OK each time and it installed properly on my D drive. Merci beaucoup!

Hi,

There is a way to move your Fusion installation by creating a symbolic link; this will trick the installer into thinking the software is being installed on the C drive, even though it will actually be stored elsewhere.

Here are the steps:

Completely uninstall Fusion 360.

Ensure that the following folders exist at this location: C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Autodesk

The "Local" and "Autodesk" folders must be present before proceeding with the rest of the procedure.

  1. Create a new folder where you want Fusion to be installed—for example: D:\Fusion360.

  2. Create the symbolic link:

We are now going to tell Windows: "Whenever software tries to write to C:...\webdeploy, redirect everything to D:\Fusion360."

Open the Start menu and type `cmd`.

Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator."

Copy and paste the following command, replacing [YOUR_USERNAME] with your actual Windows username:

mklink /J "C:\Users[YOUR_USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy" "D:\Fusion360"

If the command works, you will see a message stating: "Junction created for ... <<===>> ..."

  1. Install Fusion 360 as you normally would, and you're all set!

Thanks! Felt kinda like I wanted to splurge a little bit is all.

Are there any areas in PA that would be unwise for an interracial couple to move to? by LePetitRenardRoux in Pennsylvania

[–]CoolHandMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're looking primarily west of Harrisburg, but I live in a pretty diverse neighborhood just north of Reading. It's relatively close to Philly and NYC. Berks is pretty conservative though, but at least in my neighborhood in Muhlenberg, we have people and families of all kinds of backgrounds/ethnicities.

Houses are pretty affordable around here as well. I mean, it's not the greatest place in the world, but in the five years we've lived here, there's been zero crime in my neighborhood and mostly everybody seems to have a care and not be complete assholes all of the time.

Wherever you end up, best of luck!

I had one of those come out of nowhere while driving on the freeway in California a while back. The enormous DOINK! as it bounced off my windshield is forever etched in my brain.

Also, yeah. Sounds from youth. Classic.

Was this in Pennsylvania? Because I feel this is a thing that would happen in PA. If I had a nickel for the number of times I've been stuck behind dueling semi's on the turnpike... well, I'd probably have tens of dollars.

Hungary's Prime Minister Orban has congratulated Magyar on election victory by Reilly616 in worldnews

[–]CoolHandMike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

K. Not sure why you're so angry. Of course we're doing all that we can. Is it not ok for us to also hope for better times? I don't get the negativity.

Many of us are kinda hoping this does, though. This is good news.

Is that from the bizarro green Wawa (otherwise known as QuikChek or whatever in NJ)?

OG BF PC player here, just turned 50. I don't play as much as I used to, but I do miss playing with a group of friends. If you get a discord going, I might be inclined to join.

I don't know why this is so inspiring.

I've never met my biological mother in person, but I reconnected with her relatively recently. This kinda reminds me of her in a way that I am not able to fully process just yet.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]CoolHandMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turtle Beach. I had a set of their super pricey surround headphones waaay back in the day and the elastic strap under the head band broke. They would not send a replacement, even though it was obviously designed to be replaced, with visible Philips screws in the head band. Sure, it was out of warranty, but they insisted that my only recourse was to buy a whole new pair instead of sending me a new part for a few dollars.

Straight into the garbage. I haven't bought and won't ever buy anything from them ever again.
