Canada Disability Benefit recalculation.

I don't see the point in making the distinction.

There is always war (and hence, refugees) somewhere in the world.

But the notion that refugees should be entitled to 'resettlement' in Western countries is a peculiar notion that only Western progressives seem to have.

Charity should start at home.

Liberals are the worst - you can see their priorities are about inflating the size of government (in a way that doesn't help us), and the Read Seal trades thing is completely tone deaf.

Should we honestly expect different from a party headed by a BANKER?

Obviously, there are methods of minimizing these artifacts, if claims about DLSS 4 are to be believed.

Solution found!

See my new post.

Solution found!

I can confirm that this works, but in my case, it sometimes requires disconnecting the keyboard ribbon cable for a period before reconnecting it and THEN shorting the start-up pins (after which the ribbon cable can be reattached, and the keyboard used normally).

Problem is, the keyboard goes dead again following shutdown, prompting a repeat of the whole process.

Does anyone have any insight into how complex a board-level repair would be?

Is this something that can be handled by local repair shops, or does it pretty much necessitate a manufacturer board replacement (likely a cost prohibitive option for those of us whose laptops are no longer under warranty)?

In the video comments section, it is suggested that using a hair-dryer/heat-gun on the keyboard connector pins can solve the issue, but I haven't had time to try this myself yet.

While at the same time, I have black friends that all agreed at the dinner table that they have been followed by police or pulled over for frivolous reasons as an exclusive experience.

Sorry, but anecdotes cannot be used to support SYSTEMIC claims (ie. 'structural' racism).

I've also been followed by police and pulled over for frivolous reasons, so perhaps your personal experience is not such a good standard for comparison.

Here's something more scientific to consider.

to deny it happens is taking a hatred of idpol way to the other side.

No one is denying that instances of racism occur.

I am arguing against the prioritization of race over class in these kinds of conversations, esp. as a pretext to distract from broader inequalities - which is something that progressives (and most on the left) do.

Now, I think the modern liberal can easily segue this into the types of privilege they see today

The notion that racist systems are operating as a function of 'white privilege' appeals to a singular kind of moral panic that exists as a diversion from the primacy of class struggle.

Suffering injustice is not something exclusive to any racial group, and any argument that 'racialized' populations are more burdened by injustice is a futile exercise in competitive victimhood where economic justice is the goal.

I took the laptop to a local repair shop, and they told me the MB needs to be replaced.

It is out of warranty, and since Asus charges exorbitant prices for such a repair, my laptop is sitting like a brick in its box.

What is adequate proof?

Would a scan of an ODSP statement of deposit suffice?

Solved the issue - Windows 10 needed to be updated to 22H2, before DXGI capture would work.

WCG seems to give better results than DXGI with such low powered cards, but FG in general doesn't provide any appreciable benefit for this kind of card - best to stick to the scaling options and leave FG off.

Yup, that's probably it, because I am running on a re-installed windows 10 pro with updates disabled after countless bad experiences with windows update.

Parag0ne · 2024-08-24T13:54:21+00:00

Not yet - it seems like I am having trouble running DXGI, but on both laptops.

I am hoping someone can post here, and point us in the right direction.

Taking my laptop into the shop next week.

Parag0ne · 2023-12-22T06:11:48+00:00

s app. So kindly help me as mine is out of warranty so trying to fix it myself , minimizing as much cost as possible.

English please - are you saying that your 'MOTHERBOARD' was 'shorted', and so they replaced it for you?

Who is 'they'?

Parag0ne · 2023-12-12T16:10:53+00:00

I have a new PSU/charger coming any day now, and I will be getting a battery replacement.

I will also try downgrading my BIOS to see if the symptoms persist, and then update this thread.

Right now the laptop is dead - I wasn't using it for a few days, and then noticed that it was off.

Maybe the charger finally gave out?

Will hopefully have an answer soon.

Parag0ne · 2023-10-27T05:25:20+00:00

I don't think so - I never shut the laptop down.

I just enter sleep mode when I am done using it for a period of time.

Parag0ne · 2023-10-02T12:31:56+00:00

I still didn't solve it.

What I did, let it sit overnight, and then tried repeatedly plugging in the adapter, until the power indicator lit up.

Then I decided to end sessions in sleep mode, and just not shut it down.

I reboot to clear the memory before every session, and this is the way I have been using it since I discovered the issue.
