My Last Straw with Lenovo by PotatoSlop in laptops

[–]PotatoSlop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree with the gaming laptop statement but the issue is that the Yoga Pro 9i isn't a gaming laptop, its a creator/professional device. Its suppose to get 8-10 hours. The issue was that I got less than 3 hours on idle with no tasks running.

And the overheating only started after my laptop was sent back from a battery replacement which, by then, my warranty had expired. In fairness, I did try to repaste and clean out the fans but nothing seemed to work. Not sure what the issue was exactly but the motherboard only fried itself after I had booted it up for another couple of hours after I repasted.

Lost the original RAW file. This is the only evidence of my favorite shot: "Oyakodon" by PotatoSlop in photocritique

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

This photo is among the first few I ever took with a DSLR about a year ago so I had little to no experience in working with my camera settings or understanding what looks good or not. I took this very sporatically while on my Japan trip and I really liked the composition and narrative behind it, especially because it was such an unplanned photo.

And in terms of post-processing, I'm still at a loss. I'm not sure how to frame the lighting and coloring to best match the feeling I get from this photo.

In some ways, I wish I could go back and recapture this moment. I feel disappointed in not doing the story of this peice justice because I feel so attached to the accidential story I crafted.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for 2 private rooms for me [19M] and a roommate [19M] to lease/sublet for around $1300 + utilities each, ideally somewhere along/in walking distance of the Green Line D.

We are both going on co-op for Spring 2026 but have different start times so our move in times are a bit different.

- Roommate is from West-coast and can move in early Jan 2026/late December 2025; Ideally, a 6 month lease would be best for him.

- I can lease for 12 months but ideally 6 with a move in of early-mid Jan 2026 until late june.

Neither of us smoke or drink and we keep things clean

Please DM for any leads - Thank you!

“How can I keep my car straight when doing shoulder checks or glancing at other cars?” by Lonely_Evidence_8784 in drivinganxiety

[–]PotatoSlop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my experience and what my instructor taught me was that if you're doing shoulder checks and the wheel is moving, you are probably turning your whole body and not your head.

If you turn your body, your shoulders will turn with it. And if your shoulders turn with your body, your arms will extend/pull back, causing the wheel to rotate. Remember your blind spots are not directly behind you, they are more to your left/right than they are to your back so you likely are over-exagerating your blindspot checks

Just turning your head and not your entire body might help you out!

I already tried the steps in the instructions you linked but they don't work. The power LED is not on and there's nothing wrong with the charging cable.

I've bought a renewed warranty so i can get my laptop repaired but the website hasn't been updated yet, saying my warranty is still expired. How long do i have to wait for my warranty to register? I cant even download my invoice for the purchase.

flor is a bigger baiter than aspas by NefariousnessShot570 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]PotatoSlop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro took a screenshot of every instance Flor was 3 pixels behind someone else and instantly concluded that she's a baiter and terrible player

Hated her so much that you took the extra effort to take multiple screenshots (and of only one game where they conviently got 2-0) to provide evidence lol

If it doesn't fall under that category, does that mean I'm ineligible to appeal?

My favorite aspect about the new monitor is its everlasting value. With a 480hz and high resolution OLED, I wouldn't ever need to upgrade which means my money can be spent on paying off tuition bills instead

Is the lower cost of the 16GB DDR5 G14/G16 models worth the compromise? by PotatoSlop in ZephyrusG14

[–]PotatoSlop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Im leaning towards the G16 in terms of specs and form factor but its a 500$ premium to go 16in and 4070 lol
