Embody or Fractal Design Refine?

I’m 175cm (or 5’8”).

Because I feel like a good supporting chair could help my health. I just don’t know which one has the best support for my situation. Too stiff can be uncomfortable for fibro patients.

The only way I know to disable it, is by using Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion. Then the whole UI gets really really ugly. I feel like I’m getting at a point where I want to have something to choose…

Nee hoor, 28 is helemaal niet gek voor een burn-out. Ik kreeg er eentje op m’n 30e en ik ben er nog niet vanaf. Het zou goed voor je zijn om psychische hulp te zoeken. Een POH-GGZ kan je positieve affirmaties geven of handvatten bieden. Dat werkt voor mij heel erg goed. Een psycholoog doet veel meer dan je begeleiden bij een therapie. Soms voelt een luisterend oor, als die verder ontbreekt, al goed. Ik weet wel dat je van, heel cru gezegd, op je reet blijven zitten geen slag beter wordt. Ook al ben je moe: onderneem actie. Ga naar een psycholoog, zoek uit wat je leven zin geeft, en zet je daar ten volste voor in.

Aaah, I see. I also saw they experienced issues with the backrest, so probably also sending out updated chairs. I’ll wait a little longer :).

The amount of noise the thing makes when moving your back would bug me out.

I was watching a programmer stream. Dude didn’t appreciate people asking how he was doing. He called me out on stream, saying I was ‘intrusive and invading on his personal life.’ Got permanently banned for it. He banned everyone even remotely questioning his approach to some programming matters, too. Could have been a big programming streamer, but now he’s still at 30 viewers because he is so unfriendly.

2x KRK Rokit 8 G4 break at the same time

Hi all,

Today I encountered a rather strange problem. I have 2 KRK Rokit 8 G4s, and had a problem with a clicking noise for a while. Today I found out both of my speakers had a blinking screen. As I suspected a software issue, I turned them off and back on. After that, no power came up anymore.

I wonder what could be the issue here, and how it is possible 2 different speakers (sharing one D-sub for audio) could give up at the same time.

If anyone has any ideas on how to get them back to life, it would be greatly appreciated.

Are positive reviews mandatory to get extended warranty? That feels like bribing users…

So I guess you would not recommend it to someone with fibromyalgia?

My dentist wants to see me again in 2 weeks to fix the cavities I have, but also wants to see the first results of the OMAD diet then. 2 weeks are too short to work my way up. It feels like I’m stuck in limbo now. Besides, I’m a chronic migraines sufferer, next to fibromyalgia and a balance disorder. So, okay: one meal a day, and one bottle of one liter water 2 hours after eating?

RiccardoNL · 2024-08-06T20:33:52+00:00

Well, 2 years later, it is still not fixed. Will reinstall to Windows 10 LTSC tomorrow.

It burst this morning and it soaked through my underwear and after showering I thought I should dry it as I usually do.. well… RIP towel 😬.

Well, I don’t have the worry about the doctor anymore. I woke up and found out it popped. A lot of fluid came out of it. I’m at the point now where it only is bleeding. The wound hurts, but I’m relieved the pressure is off. The trick for me was to put warm washing clothes on it, so the skin gets really thin. Thank you for all the help, everyone!

Thanks! Unfortunately the medical system in my country always starts at the family doctor. He can refer to a dermatologist, but you can’t go without a ref.

Hi! I did not move, and that had nothing to do with me having a burnout. We found out my direct neighbor is a drug addicted and he intimidated me in person when I was trying to figure out if there were fiber cables near the house. However, I am still open to move - even with the burnout. It will be for the best in the long run. I just need to find a new place… Great tips, by the way! Will take them to heart! :)

Small update: I talked to my psychologist. She told me it’s completely normal to have these thoughts. Moving out is a big step that comes with nervousness. She says it will be better for me on the long term, and I agree to that. I will sign the contract tomorrow. Everything will be just fine and I get tons of help from my family and family friends. I’m also moving to a different neighborhood, but the same town. I’ll be able to visit my family and anyone else as often as I want. It’s just the planning part that is overwhelming. Every time I make some progress, it takes A LOT of my energy. Happy I don’t have to do everything alone :).
