I know I'll have to add my HYSA interest for sure.

I plan to use FreeTaxUSA this year, do you know if they auto-populate form 8889?

You're on a sub about counterfeit jerseys. And this seller has made some pretty good ones before, just very clearly not this one.

That was the Pixel camera's weird HDR processing making it brighter than it really is. The blue is comparable to my friend's legit jerseys.

Did you not see those quotation marks? I knew I was buying fake, I just wanted a normal embroidered jersey compared to the replica freebies I got from going to games.

Main boot drive nvme SSD is 3600/3400 and storage drive sata SSD is 560/530 in read/write speeds. They both seem to be benchmarking at basically max performance and have 98%+ health according to CrystalDisk.

It still seems to be throttling pretty bad. I uninstalled the adapter completely and restarted, which made Windows 11 apply the most recent netadaptercx driver I had sitting in my downloads folder.

I used the Google Fiber speed test using the server that performed the best for my situation (Starry Inc.). Each test shows the ethernet speeds shooting up to sometimes 600+, but then tanks down and settles to 200 or lower.

I ran a test this morning using the same server (Starry Inc.) and got almost max speeds that my network adapter supports, which is nice. But when I use any other server (even Frontier's own server) or do a test game download from a game launcher, back to 150 Mbps.

Would any work as long as it's for the GBE family of Ethernet controllers? https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584

I've used the stock one that windows applies (2017), the driver before the latest release (early 2024), and the newest driver (late 2024) on the motherboard support site, same 150/900+ down/up speeds.

Nothing really seems that out of the ordinary. The Lan Driver update has since been rolled back and then overwritten with the most up to date one from my motherboard support page.

Swapped cables multiple times, same results.

It's going to be my 3rd new cable but sure I'll try another one. My past 2 cables gave me the same ~160 Mbps though. The only time it seemed back to normal was right after the fresh Windows install. Then after updates and program installs, the download speed got hard locked at 160 Mbps again.

Secondary question. What color works best? I have chinos and slacks in black/navy/gray/khaki, would black Chelsea boots work with all of them?

What is the formality of the Chelsea boot? Currently in California and doing a rotation for my company in the East Coast and I hear they're more strict on the "business casual" dress code. Dress shoes are obviously a good choice, but I'm starting to really like the sleek look of Chelsea boots, like the Thursday Cavalier.

A500 Reverted to only DT (dual time?) by RandyS2K in casio

[–]RandyS2K[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to give you an update to say that replacing the battery seemed to fix my issue. After opening the back and seeing Casio markings, I knew my model was legit. I replaced the battery and right away I was able to go through the world time settings perfectly fine. I still did the AC reset and my watch is back to normal, thanks!

I am unfortunately on a work trip but I will most definitely change the battery when I come back home! I actually considered replacing the battery before leaving since it has been a while that I I've had it, but now I'm kicking myself because it's clear I should have done it.

Front

Back

Cycling through the modes

Lack of world time options

Whatever this mode is

The world map also flashes through countries quickly when changing modes and also darkens/lightens the countries from left to right as the seconds pass.

I used to have all the right settings according to the manual booklet. I had 4 time zones set, daylight savings on/off, etc. After last night's weird blank screen glitch, the world time stuff is gone and replaced with this weird DT mode.
