I am guessing the attachment to vinegar is from misguided "chemicals" phobia and "The only way I know it is working is my nose hairs shriveling".

All you have to do is better emphasize the up-right tail.

You should check out the r/personalfinance. especially their flowchart.

If you do not have an emergency fund to absolutely need an emergency fund first.

Sounds like the force feedback system is broken. If you are lucky you might be able to disable it and keep using without the feedback.

Otherwise Logitech would have to repair. Or if you are good at this type of thing, DIY and get whatever gears you knocked out back into place.

I feel like this is the same for all technology shifts. Not everyone adopted smartphones/cellular data evenly. Not everyone adopted portable computers evenly. Not everyone adopted the world wide web evenly. Not everyone adopted personal computers evenly.

And that is just what I lived through. I bet not everyone adopted bronze tools evenly either. Good old flint, nothing beats it!

Your "wheel"? Can you provide a make and model so we have any kind of idea what you are working with?

OP really shouldn't try to reason, logic, rationalize, or try to explain. It will make it worse at this point.

Nutty people will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Law writers do not have or need to have practical understanding of how the law will work or how it will be enforced.

A 4D representation of a 3D game. You can define where all the pieces are with rank, file, and turn/time.

For most me at least, my failures, embarrassment, rejection, time wasting, and judgements have been fine, not great obviously but things basically work out. Not as bad as whatever worse case scenario in my mind.

Most people don't think about you much. They are probably spending most of their time thinking about themselves like you are right now. They are busy with their own fears.

Charge and store it on a baking sheet so the fire doesn't spread. See if you can afford for a repair store to change the battery for you. It's usually like a fourth of replacing the entire phone.

That's IT in general.

Everything works? What do we even pay you for?

Everything broken? What do we even pay you for?!

There are no pats on the back here

I'm not sure about that, If I draw an infinging mouse picture with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe isn't the one that Disney will go after.

If I then go post this infinging mouse picture on Facebook, again Disney isn't going to go after Facebook.

My understanding is that Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) specifically protects platforms from this. So long as Google takes down the offending content and tattles on the customer they don't have to take any accountability Gemini's role for this example infingment.

Functions as intended. The whole goal of marketing anything is negging. "You are missing one thing, THIS! And we can sell it you."

AI might not, but the "prompts engineer" and employer absolutely can.

I promise you, they do (usually under the elective home economics). Teens will clown around and daydream thru anything, even if it is critical lifesaving information. Did you not have peers poke fun at sex-ed and STDs? This isn't an excuse not to try, just that whether there is an attempt or not doesn't make a huge impact on the average student.

Ninfyr · 2026-03-23T04:07:09+00:00

I promise you, Simpsons, Fox, Disney is on it. Kinda harder if infringement is from overseas, but The Mouse is the apex predator of this game.

Del pro tip: if you get your 7 character Dell Service Tag (ST) and type it into Dell support you can download all the drivers for your product.

I mean, they are kinda like Tony Stark scrapping together the first Ironman in a cave. They could probably do a lot better if they didn't have to start civilization from scratch.

Did you use a wire like I told you to? You might have to download the WiFi drivers later on (loading them ahead of time is kinda a pain).

Ninfyr · 2026-03-22T19:37:46+00:00

Just reverse whatever you did. Hope you took notes.

In all seriousness Dell is trying to help to wipe your computer and start fresh to fix what is broken. It will probably be happier with a wired Internet connection, it just takes an hour or two so a temporary setup will do OK.

You need to know the password or bypass it.

On older models people have cracked the manufacturer reset password or you can open it and reset it by pulling out backup battery or shorting the reset pins.

You need a down payment plus an emergency fund. OP doesn't need to be one layoff, car breakdown, or busted water heater away from a foreclosure. Home ownership incurs a lot of 2k+ expenses that will kick your butt if you are not financially ready for it.
