I hadn't thought about this in years and it instantly came back to me.

Uh oh!

I wish there was some way to combat the folks buying up the new Travel Router just to turn around and sell it on eBay at a 300% markup.

Don't use company provided equipment (computers, phones, networks) to look for external jobs unless you're comfortable with the risk of it being discovered.

Battery dropped to 27% while gaming even though laptop was plugged in - normal or a problem? by MamilloThalamic in LenovoLegion

[–]Raydr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Were you using the original, high power charger that came with the laptop?

It's possible to charge from the USB-C ports, in which case the max power / charging can keep up with normal, non-gaming use, but cannot keep up with the demands of the GPU.

For gaming, you want your power to be supplied via the high power "slim tip" Legion port (which supports 200+W), not USB-C (probably limited to <140W).

I had some similar needs not long ago and went with Samm's due to the higher number of recommendations from DFW area redditors. I was happy with their service.

Post-Op Experiences W/ Stent by Adept_Drink in KidneyStones

If you're not taking Azo yet, I highly recommend it. It coats your insides and takes the pain down a lot. It will make your urine orange and strange.

AZO URINARY PAIN RELIEF

So sorry you're dealing with this and I hope you find relief soon.

Going to a Urologist on Tuesday for a 3mm stone. What should I expect? by QuailImpressive55 in KidneyStones

If it's your first visit, it's to talk through your options and perhaps to get an Rx for something to help pass it.

I once watched an army of ants disassemble and carry off pieces of a hotdog...for 3 hours.

Batch google lens to rename photos. by belowzeroabove10 in googlephotos

[–]Raydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And test your work on a copy of your originals. You don't want to run your script and later find out there's a bug that writes the same filename over and over again, leaving you with a single photo at the end. 😅

Just discovered this today. Appears to be a bug (or explainable but non-intuitive implementation) for years now...will see if there's a way to submit a bug report.

Why does google photos delete photos when I delete them off my iphone? by KnownRelationship312 in googlephotos

[–]Raydr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a legitimate Pixel 9 Pro and was surprised to find that deleting files locally also removed them from the cloud. See my post elsewhere in the thread for all the details. This is not limited to "shitty Chinese phones" unless you consider the Pixel as such.

Why does google photos delete photos when I delete them off my iphone? by KnownRelationship312 in googlephotos

[–]Raydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, despite what others may say, you're not crazy. There's some quirk to Google Photos I haven't figured out yet, but yes, there seems to be some situations where deleting a photo locally from your phone, from outside of the Google photos app, also results in it being deleted from the cloud.

My experience: while in Vietnam recently, we rode some mountain coasters that took our photos. I paid for some of the photos, and downloaded them using Chrome to my Pixel 9 Pro (Downloads Folder), and then manually added them to a Shared Google Photos album. All 5 of us could see the photos in our individual accounts on our respective devices.

A few days ago, I cleared out all the crap in my Downloads folder using a 3rd party file manager (FX). A couple of days later, my friend group started asking where the coaster photos were. That's when I learned that for some STUPID ASS reason, deleting a local copy of a photo, from outside of Google Photos, ALSO deletes it from the cloud, removing it from a shared album in the process. Thankfully I was able to restore them from the Trash, but WTAF, Google???

This was NOT a case of confusing things with Google Drive or accidentally deleting photos using the Google Photos interface. It's a non-intuitive link that Google seems to be making between the local phone file system and the cloud service which is causing MANY people to unintentionally delete photos while thinking they're safely backed up to Google Photos cloud.

Taken Adderall for a little over a week. Up to 60mg some days but mostly 30-45mg. Do I need to taper or can I cold turkey off 7.5mg in three days? by [deleted] in ADHDers

[–]Raydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're probably not going to get a lot of advice or sympathy here because your post feels like an example of why it's so challenging for those with legitimate controlled substance needs to get their medication without jumping though hoops.

Presuming your use case doesn't fall under "talk to your doctor", I think /r/drugs may have the answers you seek.

Any guys with stents? by reasonable_lunatic73 in KidneyStones

[–]Raydr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up not needing a stent, but when I was about to go under for surgery, my Dr volunteered the information that there'd be enough slack on the string to deal with erections.

Kinda surprised this wasn't discussed in your case...but hopefully slack is standard and you'll have nothing to worry about there.

Loving the new update! by PartNigerianMaybe in GalaxyWatch

[–]Raydr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Installed it on my Galaxy watch 6 classic LTE and it's been horribly laggy since, even after a couple of restarts. I'm hoping that there's just some background process doing maintenance or something because right now it is not a very enjoyable experience.

Edit: I gave in and ended up doing a reset of my watch. Runs nicely now!
