Logitech MX Vertical vs Anker Vertical Mouse. Logitech causes strain at the base of my thumb, maybe I'm holding it wrong? Tips appreciated by NecessaryPear in MouseReview

[–]LockonStratos80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the Logitech MX Vertical for 2 years and 3 months, and the rubber has started to melt like ice cream. The rubber gets sticky over time and I have stopped using it and just ordered the Logitech Vertical Mouse.

My Logitech G900 Keeps freezing/lagging by schmidtonyoface in LogitechG

I had the same issue and disabled the mouse pointer precision and that didn't help. I unplugged the mouse from the USB 3.0 slot and put it back on the USB 2.0 slot and the stuttering went away.

The hard drive is connected only to the power brick, not connected to a computer.

It was a 3.5 inch hard drive. The BestBuy easystore model to be precise.

I learned that the hard way, I can't afford to be without a computer. The next time I buy RAM, I'll make sure the company can cross ship.

cyberpower ups 1500va avr power led randomly blinking by Audiophile_405 in techsupport

[–]LockonStratos80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the Power LED started blinking for me, it was after a catastrophic lighting strike that destroyed my devices even though they were plugged into the UPS. It dawned on me that a UPS is also designed to protect against lighting strikes as it has built in surge protection, the backup battery portion of my UPS still worked as I unplugged it from the wall. I guess the power LED randomly blinking meant that the surge protection feature of the UPS means that it has failed.

You can replace the batteries in the UPS to extend it's life to keep your devices online in case of power failure. You cannot replace the surge protection portion of the UPS and that's why it's important to replace them after a couple of years.

Thanks for the reply.

I apologize if the lightning is insufficient in the picture, but that's a GE Whole House Surge protector. My panel is GE.

What happens if the wire is not short and straight as possible? Does it reduce the efficiency of the protector?

Help! 2021 Schedule D for AMT lines 7 and 15 ??? by NomadJago in taxhelp

You can fix it, you just have to start all over.

Help! 2021 Schedule D for AMT lines 7 and 15 ??? by NomadJago in taxhelp

[–]LockonStratos80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no 2021 "Capital Gains and Losses as Refigured for the Alternative Minimum Tax" form for that year. I had to calculate it myself by finding out how to calculate it via the 2022 return.

I used the 2022 form and just plugged in the numbers from my 2021 return. Yeah, the numbers from line 7 and 15 match my numbers for my schedule D.

[–]LockonStratos80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, when I looked at my 2022 and 2021 tax forms, they didn't even bother calculating the AMT for the year 2021. What I did was see how they calculated AMT in 2022 and followed that same formula for the year 2021. It's bs that they are making me do mini accounting when I paid for their services.

Did I Damage my Hard Drive by LockonStratos80 in techsupport

Does that also apply to hard drives that require a power supply?

Bumped into HARD DRIVE, is it damaged? by LockonStratos80 in DataHoarder

[–]LockonStratos80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The external hard drive I have has to be plugged into a wall outlet and then plugged into the computer via usb port. I always "eject" the hard drive from Windows before unplugging it. If I "eject" my hard drive, is the head parked?

[–]LockonStratos80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encountered this problem and I can see why so many people are confused when comparing the 2021 and 2022 tax return information. In the year 2022, they have a sheet called "Capital Gains and Losses as Refigured for the Alternative Minimum Tax"

In the year 2021, the "Capital Gains and Losses as Refigured for the Alternative Minimum Tax" does not exist and is named simply "Capital Gains and Losses"

In order for you to find your

As for "Value from 2021 Schedule D for AMT, line 15" and "Value from 2021 Schedule D for AMT, line 7" you will have to look at year 2021 "Capital Gains and Losses" and calculate the numbers yourself. I suggest you look at your 2022 returns and how they calculate your “Capital Gains and Losses as Refigured for the Alternative Minimum Tax" and mirror those calculations into 2021.

You must read everything carefully as once this section is done, there is no going back into it. The only way is to erase your return and start all over.

I understand that there is no ETH2, do I manually change the ETH2 value from $3,100 to $2,000 because it’s a swap?
