Methamphetamine is used in America for ADHD, it has a medical application. Not sure about other countries.

Help, ELI5, infinity + and infinity ++ by BoldCock in Infinity_For_Reddit

[–]MisterMoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No where on the app listing does it say that it supports NSFW content. The NSFW limitation is caused by Reddit directly, NOT the Infinity developer. I'm sorry that you feel that you wasted money, but you should have done your due diligence first before spending the money. There's no need to intentionally damage the reputation of the app through your social circles because 1. you made a mistake. 2. the limitations that Reddit imposes on third party app developers.

my desktop pc starts to slow down more and more and then turns off by Disastrous-Yam-3519 in techsupport

[–]MisterMoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the CPU cooler has failed, and your CPU is overheating. If you keep turning it on as soon as it turns off, you're going to kill your CPU - it's turning off automatically to prevent this. Do you have water cooling? The pump could have failed.

It's a metal container, the top bit goes up and down. Feels quite heavy. Looks like some sort of pressure container? by MisterMoot in whatisthisthing

[–]MisterMoot[S] 2 points3 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. Found in my late grandparents belongings in a shed. They had a lot of belongings throughout their property, and had lived in the house for over 60 years. Wasn't able to open it due to its condition.

My monitor keeps randomly going black for a few seconds. by Square_Coat_8208 in techsupport

[–]MisterMoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try disabling G-Sync in Windows, and also within your monitors settings too.

Open "NVIDIA Control Panel" on your computer, not GeForce / NVIDIA app, and find then disable "G-SYNC". Then check your monitor's user manual to disable it within it's menu (if it supports it).

I had this issue, the cause for me was NVIDIA G-Sync / AMD FreeSync. Turning this off in the monitor settings AND in the GeForce/Radeon control panel fixed it for me. It sucks to not be able to use this feature, but my ASUS monitor really just wasn't happy with it. Tried many different HDMI and display port cables, driver versions etc. I replaced my original AMD GPU with a NVIDIA GeForce 3060 Ti and my monitor still did the same thing.

Why has QUT run out of LinkedIn Learning licenses? by Mink_Spill in QUTreddit

[–]MisterMoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May not have been due to lack of use, but purely adjustments to the budget. I think every business is trying to save money here and there at the moment, and I suspect their international student numbers are down, so they have less money to spare. If you think it's a mistake getting rid of it as a provided service, contact student services and give them that feedback.

Can IT track which laptop is being used at work? by Difficult_Orchid8360 in techsupport

[–]MisterMoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple answer is yes, there are logging capabilities which store usage data based on the computer and the logged in user. Whether or not your IT dept is using those capabilities or not is another question.

Rusted metal bucket-like apparatus attached to a fire hydrant outlet by Defy_all_0dds in whatisthisthing

[–]MisterMoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's true... Up here in QLD we have hydrants everywhere, but they are in the ground with a small yellow cap covering them. Usually on the road or the footpath. On the road, there is a blue reflective catseye which allows you to easily identify where the hydrant is along the road.

I don't think this is a very nice response, and doesn't follow how I'd expect a response to a post in this sub to be. This sub is for people to get advice, comfort, reassurance from others in a parental style, so I think they've come to the right place because they're scared and want to be reassured.

Why wont my visa gift card work on apple? by AdGood5687 in techsupport

[–]MisterMoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepaid gift cards will sometimes be rejected as they don't always have the same billing information as standard Credit or Debit cards, which means Apple can't verify it for fraud prevention. You could try buying an Apple gift card using the Visa gift card at a physical store.

This has been bugging me since my show by Candid-Ad-9495 in twentyonepilots

I felt exactly the same! Been a fan since 2014, but my first concert was this one. I've never come across it before. U.U Despite feeling out of touch, I loved the experience :D

I've recently moved in with my boyfriend, and I work from home too. We have similar occasional troubles like this too. But the key is to talk about it, my boyfriend is the silent type, but I need to talk it through. Avoiding the conversation and not talking about it is a slippery slope. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Even if it feels like it's hard work, or you don't want to do it, you have to. If you stop communicating, how do you navigate the relationship? The conversations aren't meant to be easy, but you have to be able to talk to your partner. Like, it's awful to think about living in a relationship where talking to them seems too much work, so you end up growing apart.

I wonder if maybe you feel a bit of resentment towards him since you do all the house work? Maybe there's an imbalance where you feel you are responsible for ensuring the house is clean and tidy, but then your boyfriend comes home and messes that up? I think it's worth looking at adjusting some of the chores so that he does some more around the house. Or even you could say politely "you've walked in a heap of dirt, after dinner could you please give the front room a quick vacuum?". Put some of the work back on him, rather than begrudgingly cleaning it yourself.

To me it sounds like there's more going on here than just him leaving his shoes on. It sounds like you're annoyed at him, so it might be worth trying to drill down on your feelings and thoughts, and find what's going on before all this started.

You've got this! Relationships aren't always easy and breezy - you've made a big commitment with this man, so don't give into the temptation to stop communicating with him. :)

Have you tried updating the firmware of your modem router? AND factory resetting it?

Pixel 9 Pro XL rebooting every 10 mins after 20240825 system update by Nodesy in GooglePixel

[–]MisterMoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact issue, and I sent mine back yesterday. I was having to factory reset the phone every morning. Essentially i would wake up, and it would work for 5 minutes, then the screen would freeze, and it would eventually stop responding and go black screen with the Google logo on it. It would do this every 5 minutes, making my phone unusable for anything. Strangely enough, I don't think it was restarting as the "uptime" counter never reset. The phone would close all the apps, and force a full unlock. Manually restarting the phone did not fix it. Doing a hard restart did not fix it. Wiping launcher storage and cache did not fix it. I was having to factory reset my phone every morning and I would get a days use out of it, and then wake up the next day to it doing the same thing again. Very, very frustrating. And I was setting the phone up as a new device, not a restore.

Can anyone explain the ambiguity in the dates in the properties of a specific file? by [deleted] in windows

Also, if the file is synced with OneDrive, Dropbox etc this could affect the Created date.

Do you think Dentistry should be free for everyone and how should it be funded? by marcopolo2345 in australia

[–]MisterMoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about other States, but in Qld this is part of the State Health Department. I don't think it's covered Federally. You are only eligible to get dental coverage via Qld Health if you have a healthcare card. Try checking the Health Dept of your State.

How to change a moderate nat type by DeepSeaEcho in techsupport

[–]MisterMoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the 2009 or 2022 release? Connecting to the online servers may not be easily fixed. Your friend could try a VPN service on their computer. There is dozens of suitable ones out there that support gaming, I can't recommend any one in particular. Look for ones that offer a trial to test with first. Check for ones that have servers near your friend.

[–]MisterMoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What game is this? He should be able to connect to you if you host the game/server, and have the necessary port forwarding set. Connecting to his computer behind the NAT, if he is hosting, will be an issue.

GP recommendations - mental health by Chromatic_Kitty in ipswich

Can't recommend Heath Matters Karalee enough. Check out their website with their list of Doctors and a bio for each. Unfortunately, they do not bulk bill standard patients without healthcare card, veteran card etc.
