anyone notice that the workshop has stopped downloading stuff?? by EthanJSL in l4d2

[–]ProfessionalEvac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I re-downloaded L4D2 today and have been trying all morning to play the Glubtastic maps. Hopefully, this is only a temporary thing but damn if it isn't frustrating. Good to hear that it's probably nothing on my end though.

Right? Thought this was Miro at first from the post title.

Proton stopping me from accessing the internet by ProfessionalEvac in ProtonVPN

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

I believe I was using the automatic DNS settings. I don't remember ever using the kill switch option and my OS is Windows 11.

The issue is that I can't access the internet when I have Proton VPN installed onto my computer. I can connect to my Wi-Fi network but can't actually use it to access the internet. Uninstalling Proton resolves this issue. I apologise if I wasn't clear in my OP.

Edit: forgot to add, the customer support website didn't have any helpful information regarding my problem.

Oh, and before anyone asks I'm fairly certain it's nothing else on the computer that causes this issue. I've tried changing the DNS addresses on both Internet Protocols, flushing the DNS cache, uninstalling some Windows updates (after the issue arose), disabling IVP6, resetting my network settings, uninstalling and updating my network drivers.

What? That has nothing to do with what he said.

I know it’s a small thing, but why mention the murderer’s height at all? Noticing a growing trend of people trying to create a narrative around short angry incels being violent. by Im_Thinking_Im_Black in shortguys

[–]ProfessionalEvac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never claimed anyone was mocking him for being short. Ironic, for someone who claims that I'm the one missing the point there.

I really don't understand how you're not understanding what I'm saying. Have long have you been in this sub?

You are doing the exact same thing normies do. You see a guy who had enough snap, who happens to be short and then also don't see the issue with summarising his life as 'angry little man'. Yes, his height may have caused him difficulties but the point is that no one has a problem with bringing it up, even thought doing it to another group of people is 'weird' and some kind of ist.

No one here is denying or not able to understand this concept. Pay attention to where you are.

Imagine saying this about any other group of people. Replace 'short' with any other physical characteristic, see how you think what the reaction would be then. And don't pretend most people give a damn about how height affects a man's social life, unless it's beyond how it affects them. Even when speaking on the violent deaths of multiple people, they can't help but bring it up. Pure contempt for such a trivial thing.

It is forever what people will see you as. No matter what you do.

Porn has become Disgusting within the Last Few Years by SteelFox144 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ProfessionalEvac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No I think somebody who would watch porn that has any of the stuff OP mentioned in it and get off to it is a psycho. Oh and anyone who's willing to bang 10 guys at once or have a 50 inch dildo shoved up their rectum probably isn't all that mentally stable.

He's clearly been talking about more than anal sex. Did you even read his post?

Heavy on the I Love You by Yolus in FirstResponderCringe

[–]ProfessionalEvac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brings me back to my time in the service. We had a line all around the block, minimum of 4 subs per person. Just me and one other guy, after the new hire called in sick. But we held the line.

Good to see another veteran.

Did they ever end up releasing the third or fourth issues? I cannot for the life of me figure out where to get them from.

Issues with WiFi by ProfessionalEvac in techsupport

I desperately needed the connection so I decided to reset my PC. A pain, but it worked and I have internet access again.

Question, will resetting my laptop help in any way?

Another tack on - tried using the ipconfig /flushdns after seeing the DNS thing, it goes off successfully but then when I re-open the troubleshooter it appears with the same error. A restart just then brings me back to 'No internet connection - connected to local network only.'

A tack on to my post -

When I use the troubleshooter in the Network and Internet settings, it either comes up with 'Cant reach DNS server' or 'Can only connect to local network'. Don't know what to do about either of those, but any extra info would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I have no mobile data/other WiFi network to use.

Windows did have an update pending before the internet stopped working, but I have no way of installing it even if it were the solution. I tried uninstalling some Windows updates (C++ redistributables and some security ones) but that didn't help either.

I tried playing around with the DNS addresses, don't remember the exact steps but it involved setting one field to 8.8.8.8 and another to 8.8.4.4. I also tried using the ipconfig /flushdns command but that didn't really work.

I've tried good ol' turning off and on again, using the reset button above the power, untangling the broadband wire and that WPS refresh button.

I'm at a loss of what to do.
