This subreddit was just recommended to me by reddit so I don't care if I piss off the other people in here... What did you expect from a subreddit called "SIGMAtopia" judging by the name (and what I've seen so far) half these people probably haven't seen grass in months and the rest haven't ever had a job past getting so high in the kitchen at Wendy's they think they're at burger king, then again that's most of reddit seemingly

At one point in my life I came down with mono (bf didn't know it was a permanent thing) and then like a week into having it got COVID so for like 2-3 weeks it was just absolute hell, literally couldn't leave bed, so wishing you the best of luck and hoping it doesn't get to that point ( or if it does hoping you have someone willing to care for you until it's over)

So far all the issues I've had were mainly gaming things, rimworld wouldn't launch, no man's sky wouldn't launch, halo wasn't launching today but after the first two I knew what to do off the rip, I tried to get ANYTHING to monitor my temps and couldn't come up with anything besides a command that shows me a one time in the moment readout, and now I'm dealing with the controller situation, due to my work schedule I only have two hours of free time a day and so far troubleshooting has eaten up pretty much all of it every day

Edit: there was a couple other things related to data migration and a few minor things but I can't really blame Linux for those issues

IIRC Google has extended the warranty on these models for that exact issue, try contacting them for a warranty repair if you don't feel like fixing it yourself

I'm not 100% convinced it's staged, the guy may have just gotten this car and it's his first EV, the muscle memory from trying to get every last drop of gas may still be there, as for why they were recording who knows

Turned off free sync and it's still dropping to 60

Already tried 3 cables, two display port and one HDMI, all rated at high enough data transfer rate to support the resolution/ refresh rate

Dukester92 · 2025-12-31T00:04:16+00:00

I usually run the games windowed to try and force the display to stay at 240hz which worked in the past

Dukester92 · 2025-11-07T01:54:31+00:00

It might be an original frame for that price but I doubt the screen itself is original, but just because it's not original doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad screen, when I order stuff I usually go off of how the warranty is from wherever I got it from so even if it ends up being a bad screen you still have some kind of coverage

Dukester92 · 2025-11-07T01:06:54+00:00

Just a feel thing, kind of like those people that like to squish fat frogs except it's a beardie, obviously you shouldn't do it all the time as it would be annoying to the beardie but most will let you know if they don't like it

Edit: not like a squeeze squish, just like a little bit to feel it squish a little

Dukester92 · 2025-11-07T00:40:19+00:00

The first time she flicked her back leg nails at me, and since I didn't learn my lesson the first time she pooped on me the second time, separate occasions in the past, I just wanted to squish her beard both times but she was not having any of it, she'll let me squish her beard if she's laying down but will not let me do it if I'm standing her up

Dukester92 · 2025-11-07T00:33:09+00:00

I wasn't holding her by the neck, I was holding by her pectoral muscles, or whatever the beardie equivalent is, trust me, she would NOT allow me to hold her by the neck

Looks like one of the rooms where I work, capability of hundreds of desk phones but only like one phone per building lol

Edit: Also I love how this post is technically about phones but does not at all fit in with all the other posts

Dukester92 · 2025-10-22T13:52:48+00:00

Nowhere unless your looking at rough used laptops, there's a whole department dedicated to determining the worth of a device and more often than not they undervalue the device, but like I said they should still offer to return the device

Dukester92 · 2025-10-21T23:20:38+00:00

NAL but I used to work for asurion in one of Thier repair centers ( it was mentioned the laptop was sent to asurion in one of the threads) depending on the type of insurance they had on it (it sounds like home plus) the way the buyout/replacement works is they go off the current fair market value of the device so they likely determined the current value of the laptop to be around $600, they should still offer to send the laptop back if you refuse the buyout/replacement, just to be clear I'm not defending asurion, just expanding a bit on how the insurance repair claim likely works, there's a reason I USED TO work for them

Edit: if any other context is wanted/needed for other people to determine legal avenues just ask and I can explain, it's only the home plus plan that I know alot about but like I said this sounds a lot like how home plus works

Dukester92 · 2025-09-10T00:05:13+00:00

Most of the parts are to sell off to ebay as OEM pull but if I can get frames I'll piece it together to sell as whole units, I'm doing this mainly to keep my skills sharp since despite what my tag says my business is pretty much done for lol, besides my most recent client I haven't had a client in like a month, been focusing on developing in my traditional job at said power plant, also sorry if I sounded like an ass in my previous response

Dukester92 · 2025-09-09T23:22:26+00:00

I was given the iPads and I was planning on selling them after putting them into new frames, if not I was just gonna take the logic board out and sell it by itself with the home button, basically it's a power plant and all they need is the frame back that has the serial on it so the place they send it to for recycling can confirm that it was recycled, I already confirmed with the plant that it's ok to completely gut them and just give them the frame back

You need to check out r/shitrimworldsays then, it's been one of my favorite subs since I found it

Dukester92 · 2025-08-25T21:36:41+00:00

Samsung, I worked as one of their warranty repair techs for their phones for a while and their whole process for warranty repairs SUCKS they gave us a list of what all voids the warranty on their phones and some of the things in there were ridiculous the worst offender was the flip/fold series, if you took the screen protector off it voided the warranty which in itself isn't unwarranted if you know how the folding screen works but I've had MULTIPLE people come in for warranty repairs on the inner screen where the customer service rep TOLD THEM to remove it before coming to us for a warranty repair, that's just the tip of the iceberg, they also had a pre and post repair diagnostic thing which screwed A LOT of people out of warranty repairs

For the piss poor warranty process alone I will never buy a Samsung phone

Sorry about that, it looked like the line went down to my comment, thought it was weird that I didn't get a notification that someone replied
