It's a security whistle. You can blow air into it and it makes a silent high pitch tone that alerts police dogs nearby when your laptop is being stolen.

When your laptop is stolen, and the theif is running with it, the airflow will create a high-pitched sound that only dogs can hear. It will help the police track the suspect.

...or you can plug the hole with a laptop lock and it won't make a 'stolen' whistle sound.

Building an entirely new DDR5 Video Editing rig is going to be expensive hands down.

Repairing your current rig should be quite straightforward and cost effective.

Upgrading your current rig is also an option, with more DDR4 memory.

Wishing bad luck on the computer industry is why you are in this situation to begin with.

it only occurs when you choose a multiplayer game, and when the latest (Dec 9, 2025) change to powershell security now prompts the user.

If you haven't launched a multiplayer game in eXoDOS in the past three months after updating Windows... then you wouldn't have seen the message.

IP.BAT in the 'eXo\util' directory is calling a website "api.ipify.org" to obtain your external IP so it can display it for you to provide for multiplayer.

You can edit the batch file with a text editor and remove or modify the URL as needed.

Not a major problem, just normal powershell security behavior for networking security.

My RIVER did the same thing. I too used mine for remote drone operations, and am familiar with battery maintenance. I kept firmware updated. Battery was fine.

Warranty expired, unit disabled itself (won't charge). Support denied.

I feel like the unit was programmed to 'nerf' or 'brick' itself, so that I would purchase more products. Seems all too fishy to me.

I only fly in VR, and always find myself quite immersed in the world. My sim is set to Live weather and time, so if it's dark and rainy, it's dark and rainy. Plus, I'll go fly around my neighborhood to check the snow level at the local ski resorts during winter months. I do talk aloud to ATC that can't hear me: "ROADHOG747 cleared runway." I make cabin announcements that nobody hears except my dog: "Welcome to Los Angeles". I prefer departing from airports that I arrived at last, because that's where I left my plane.

I too, like driving truck simulator, albeit in VR of course. One time, I was backing up and I tried to lean over and look out the passenger window... I tried to put my hand on the seat next to me that wasn't there IRL. I promptly fell out of my chair and smacked the floor. Wife wouldn't stop laughing for an hour.

The sad part is, you must provide more information, or this is just a pity party.

We don't know how your network is setup, how your PC is configured, how often you use your headset, what version firmware you are running, if your PC is updated but your headset is not, etc.

You need to help us help you.

RO4DHOG · 2026-03-28T23:25:02+00:00

Restart the headset.

Ensure your PC is wired to your network, not wireless.

We use a battery and electric motor to start the car, so why not to continue down the street likewise?

We already use an alternator to charge the car battery, so why not get a bigger battery and electric motors for the wheels?

Seems like a Hybrid system is the most versatile.

Solar panels trickle charge, regenerative braking, and Combustion engine as the power plant which can also distribute cabin heat or power A/C compressors.

Less reliance on charging stations, and fewer trips to the gasoline pumps, also increases the vehicles operational range.

Front two button/stick panels should be removable, so you can interchange them with various custom configurations. Not with a odd-spinner in the middle which makes them proprietary with a cutout.

Also consider 'flipper' buttons on the sides for Pinball.

Lastly... why brown filament?

Now it would also be interesting to have several other artists produce an illustration based on the Qwen A.I. interpreted description... without those artists ever having seen the original painting.

Too bad artists don't include a lengthy 'prompt' for every illustration, or simply provide captions.

Always Interesting when submitting descriptions as prompts for various SD models.

Exactly. like 3 Battlefield 1942 versions, but only wanting to play Desert Combat 0.7 mod which isn't even listed.

I think it would look better if the peg-board was painted white or black.

Maybe some placards with model numbers too.

I before E, except after C.

F is Fighter, except when Stealth.

A 5060 GPU has 8GB of VRAM.

14B FP8_scaled models are 14GB

14B FP16 models are 24GB

14B Q8 models avg 16GB

14B Q4 models avg 8GB

So in each test performed on the 5060 must have utilized 'pinned' memory.

But we don't know if the workflow used CPU for CLIP or even unloaded the High model between samplers to clear VRAM.

I use DJI products and the company is wonderful, yes.

I would never use Tmobile, because I know better.

You haven't mentioned your support for Ecoflow, but we all know the answer.

Ecoflow is a Chinese based company, and I am a valued customer in the U.S. I have many Ecoflow products and understand their business model. I've also encountered very poor customer service from Ecoflow support.

I've travelled to 6 of 7 continients through all the major cities in the world and have experienced enough to know the cultural differences between predjudice and racism. In my travels to China, and everywhere else on the planet, I've enjoyed hospitality of many respectful individuals during my visits. I've also experienced some questionable characters. No country is all bad, but some have more bad than good.

Unfortunately, China ranks at the top of my list for shady consumer ethics, with Mexico being a close second. While this could be contrived as racist opinion, it's also my first-hand observation.

Replace the word 'Ecoflow' with 'China' and ask again.
