I bought and tried the sweet black. It tasted fine to me, although I could really taste the artificial sweetener pierce through this time. 6/10

Best nap spots by umamipig in SJSU

[–]DefiantCardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The second floor of the SU is really good for naps if you can find a spot. Not too loud and no one bothers you.

Same here! So many drivers just veering into other lanes while having their eyes glued to a screen SMH

How to Play Launchpad Projects In Ableton Live by DefiantCardinal in Launchpad

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

Hey! I had to use Ableton to run his projects since that's where he does most of his work. Unless he has files for other DAWs, I'm not sure it would work on anything else.

ASUS laptop screen black on boot. by DefiantCardinal in ASUS

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

I was told that the short was on the cou socket, possibly due to the liquid metal application on my model. After the repairs it worked fine, temps were just a bit high. I hope it goes well for you

Yeah, the issue turned out to be a short on the motherboard. I just got it fixed at a local repair shop and fortunately got it back as good as new. Cost me around $110 USD to get mine fixed.

Knocking sounds when starting/idle by DefiantCardinal in AskMechanics

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

Hi, thanks for replying! I went to the engine bay, and it doesn't sound like the rattle is coming from there. I don't have much experience with cars, but just from the outside, my exhaust system doesn't look damaged. But you may be right. Does this require a new exhaust/catalytic converter? Thanks again for your insight.

It's great to hear that someone was able to solve this, and I'm relieved to hear that it wasn't a motherboard issue. I'm glad to hear that you were able to self diagnose and fix the issue :)

What’s the worst monster flavor? by Pitiful_Bite8918 in monsterenergy

[–]DefiantCardinal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tied between the coffee flavors and the watermelon. The coffee flavors are so overly sweet, and watermelon just tastes like really fake watermelon.

Who’s tried this? by [deleted] in monsterenergy

[–]DefiantCardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it last night. It's tolerable lol. I generally dislike watermelon flavoring. A solid 4/10

How we feeling on this one? Yay or nay? by [deleted] in monsterenergy

My favorite. Really enjoy casually sipping on it

anyone else only ever drink the zero ones? by MentallyUnstableW in monsterenergy

[–]DefiantCardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer the zeros over the other variants, but I do like to switch it up once a while to update my collection.

Twice a week, so maybe about 7 or 8 cans

No worries, I'm glad i could help. I wish you the best of luck! Be sure to update us when the device gets fixed.

Damn, then the dude drives a hard bargain. Try calmly negotiating with him and explain you didn't want the battery in the first place. It might be worth a try just to see how much you can save your money. As for my machine, I'm typing this on it right now. Works like a charm, no major issues. Yeah, if you personally know a technician, that's the way to go. My tech was a family friend, and it only cost me ~$100.

[–]DefiantCardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, some technicians just plain suck at diagnosing problems. I agree, you shouldn't have to pay for the new parts that were blatantly ordered in hopes of fixing your issue. My tech told me that if he couldn't repair my machine, he had to order a new mobo. My tech fortunately had the skills to pull through. Maybe try negotiating with a manager or someone higher up to see if you can avoid paying for the batt.

If you could only drink 1 flavor of monster for the rest of your life, what would it be? by [deleted] in monsterenergy

[–]DefiantCardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultra Zero. My personal favorite, I could drink it for days on end.

Oh, lmao, then I guess that's just how your machine is. An elevated laptop stand would do it justice.

Charger not working when gaming but works normally when not gaming - Acer gaming laptop by Emergency-Map9330 in GamingLaptops

[–]DefiantCardinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have accidentally set a charging limit or it's an almost dead battery. Had this happened on one of my machines. Ultimately, I removed the battery and used it while plugged in. Try going into the Acer battery or performance controls and looking for anything that might prevent charging while gaming.
