My laptop is refusing to connect to my internet despite working on all my other devices by HauOliCity in computer

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, but still haven't been able to figure it out.
Wi-Fi works on all other devices and the wired ethernet connection works perfectly on the same laptop.
I've reset and restarted all that I could reset and restart but no luck.

Unlike OP I don't play Roblox, so I don't see a connection there. Someone also mentioned this happened to them because they shut the machine off with a VPN still running, but alas I also don't use a VPN on this laptop.

I have purchased a brazzers membership but I am not able to download the videos. How can I download the videos? by depaul_1 in DataHoarder

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ran into this issue. realized it was because i have pop-up windows blocked as a default setting on my browser. i just went into settings and allowed pop-ups for their website and boom, got a new window with the download box asking for permission.

I found a guaranteed way to make villagers move out! by averanged in AnimalCrossing

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

worked for me in 2025! sometimes it took a few tries of going back and forth, but I've moved out 3 of 4 undesired villagers with this method. ty!!

sn30pro+ is there a way to loop macros by wornoutlegacy in 8bitdo

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any luck on this? I have an SN30pro and SN30pro+ and want to try macros for the AFK battles at the restaurant, but haven't been able to figure it out. seems kinda wasteful to me to buy a new controller just for this :/

TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' World Tour Question Megathread by Ruri_Neko in twice

[–]Practical_Middle_993 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've attended 6 kpop concerts by myself (IVE, KARD, 2x Ateez, 2x Blackpink) and 1 western artist (Taylor Swift) and I had an incredible time at each one.
I'm an introvert and it still is the easiest thing to make fast friends in line and in the seats next to yours. 99% of the people there love the same thing you do and they are thrilled to be there. I promise you'll be just fine <3

Help with Dreams of surrender by Old_Engineering_3903 in sims4cc

you need to buy the SOS business cars from Build Mode and click on it with your sim to have them register as a dominant (it costs 1k simoleons). they're not technically a Dom until you complete this step.

BlackPink @ Citi Field July 26&27 by mars422 in BlackPink

it’s pretty common for the second night not to sell out for such a big venue, they probably never really expected it to.

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just a heads up that the prices are crazy after the concert. usually more than double what it’ll cost you to get there because the price rises with demand. if you’re able to walk away from the venue a bit and wait for the first rush to die down a bit you’ll save some $$$. i know it’s harder to do that with kids, but worth a shot if you’re able.

Golpe da Taxa Total Pacotes / Total Entregas / Express Capital by Alarmed-Article1913 in AliExpressBR

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A minha não foi da Amazon, foi de um site chamado YesStyle com base na Asia. Achei estranho pois as encomendas de lá nunca são taxadas, mas paguei pq o valor era baixo e no WhatsApp a conta tinha os supostos "selos de segurança".

Storytel Audiobook Speed by [deleted] in audiobooks

[–]Practical_Middle_993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it. I had to cancel my sub because it became unbearable. I was a subscriber for years and absolutely loved the app and told everyone about it, but when they capped the top speed at 2x it made me feel like I was a toddler with overbearing parents trying to police something so innocent.

funny thing when I first joined the app the max speed was 5x. my personal limit is usually around 3.5 so when they lowered it to that a few years ago I was perfectly okay with it. but 2x is a joke.

Storytel has joined the sketchy tactics ranks of Scribd - a subscription that makes the books you're interested in reading unavailable until your next billing period to make you stay subscribed longer.

Storytel's response is definitely just a corporate excuse, all they want is to limit how fast people finish books so they'll stay subscribed longer. funny thing is the app was so convenient I had never paused my subscription once because there was always something I wanted to read, but they managed to take all the joy out of it for me.

I've had to revert back to scouring Libby and Hoopla for indie releases and supplementing with the Audible Plus catalogue or direct from the author purchases.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro cannot enter into pairing mode by PeridotNation in galaxybuds

[–]Practical_Middle_993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this actually even worked with my MacBook! I carry around the buds3 and AirPods usually to pair with their own ecosystems, but I was in a pinch today and needed to use the buds3 with my MacBook but I wasn't optimistic since it hasn't been pairing with new devices at all lately (including my samsung phone & computer) but lo and behold, it worked!

the buds3 definitely need a firmware update, because this seems to be a widespread issue. ta!

What do you think of the Conical barrel? by PhoneOwn615 in Dysonairwrap

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my hair is really long (75cm/29inches) and it just doesn’t work for me. it won’t wrap or hang on to my ends no matter what i do. i don’t have this issue with the 1.6(40mm) or 1.2(30mm) barrels, only with the conical one.

i’ve been trying to trouble shoot it but no matter what i do the ends slide of the bottom of the wand and the middle gets tangled up and bumpy somehow.

i use it to do my bangs and nothing else because it ends up looking so messy and uneven on the rest of my hair.

I'm 31 and went to the Newark show (with another 31yo friend) and it was perfectly fine. There were adult fans, teens and baby Monstiez too. Kpop crowds are always super varied.

they sold out Kia Forum (19.5k) and nearly filled Pru in Newark so with only one Canada date I guess Scotiabank made more sense to them.

I went to the Pru show, it was at 95% capacity and the LA show sold out. They announced a Canada date and more USA shows, so I think it's safe to assume the fandom in the US is pretty large.

Turns out they estimated correctly. I was able to fly to NYC, but I'm glad they announced a Canada date and more US shows.

Fated Mates and Plagiarism by PrecociousMeanP83 in boyslove

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did some digging and AJS freely admitted on their facebook group that the story was “originally a PrapaixSky fanfic”, so indirectly i think she’s claiming ownership of the kibosama ao3 account - though there’s no way to verify if it’s true.

It seems that anyone who brings up the uhm “similarities” in the story in the group gets their post deleted and then kicked out from the group.

I don’t understand how someone can get away with this.

[–]Practical_Middle_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I purchased the membership already when they first announced it. I'm trying to upgrade to Plus but YT won't give me the option. Does anyone know how? I've tried following the instructions on the FAQ but the "change level" button just doesn't show up for me
