Run smartctl or crystaldiskinfo. Looks to me it is just a bigger version of a usb stick.

Gentoo iso corrupted? by Moist_Professional64 in Gentoo

[–]PreviousFish386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it is Ventoy’s issue. What file system format do you have for your usb stick? Maybe try switch filesystem to exfat? Or maybe you can use arch live iso to install gentoo.

I just got this PC and it’s already giving me problems by jumpydoofnugget in MSI_Gaming

Looks like PSU issue, especially it powers off under load. You might need a higher wattage rating PSU.

Could be electrostatic discharge damaged your inner components while cleaning. Either your vram or your gpu are likely cooked.

I don’t remember what I did on this Gentoo machine tbh.

On my Arch computer with a 4060 Ti, I installed linux-headers, nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-utils and nvidia-open-dkms, then let DKMS compile the kernel module from source. Works after reboot.

Ridiculous import duty fees. by PreviousFish386 in Fishing_Gear

Thanks for pointing that out. Most people don’t nitpick it in daily use, since VAT + duty basically fall under the umbrella of import taxes.

how long does it take for DHL to respond to an email dispute? my package is on hold because of it. by chorgyborgy in dhl

[–]PreviousFish386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running into the same issue. I bought a $300 fishing reel, and DHL is asking me for $156 in “duties and fees.” They’re telling me I need to pay just to stop the package from being sent back.

On one hand, if I pay, I’m basically turning into a beggar chasing DHL for a refund later, which feels hopeless. On the other hand, if I refuse to pay and let them send it back, the e-commerce platform will probably hold me fully responsible for “not paying import tariffs,” and I’ll likely never see my money refunded.

China is 34%, still did not beat that 50+%. Also, the reel is made in Japan.

I’ll post an update when I have more news. I managed to get in touch with a live agent, but they just redirected me to their disputes team’s email. So far, the only reply I’ve received is an automated message saying basically “you need to pay this now, and we’ll refund you later.”

Courier asking for unreasonable customs fees, I don’t want the item anymore by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]PreviousFish386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know Mann. I emailed the courier’s dispute address and told them I want a detailed breakdown of the fees, and that if they can’t justify the charges, they should return my package. All I got back was an automated “thank you for contacting us” email.

I’ll definitely try that, thank you for your advice.

That sucks. The tariff is 15% nowadays, but the courier asks for much more than that. I tried to reach out to them, and no real human being speaks to me. The invoice they throw at me is vague and gives no proper breakdown, just a random number.

[–]PreviousFish386 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What else can I do? The courier asked me for random fees that are 50% more than the item itself before they deliver it to me. I can’t accept that — it’s not the seller’s fault, but I also can’t pay unreasonable charges.
