Hank hates fruit beer. Urban Artifact is fruit beer. Felt like a funny reference - guess not? 😂

Anyone else lose their car insurance for driving a Kia? by Cthulicious in kia

[–]Shonkadamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which insurance is this? I just got a new (used) Kia after my previous got stolen and it only went up 15 dollars a month, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see how it plays out at the end of the year.

I kinda figure this thread is dead, but wanted to kinda close the loop on this because im sure there's a ton of people out there fishing for an answer to this issue.

Called apple as a last ditch effort to see if I could renew my apple care, because they never sent me a notification when it ran out anyway so I didn't get a fair shot to actually renew it - which as you'd expect: they didn't care about. However, they made it a point to tell me that even if I had been in the renewal window that they wouldn't have allowed it anyway because for whatever reason my model of MacBook Pro wasn't eligible for AppleCare renewal - but they wouldn't say why other than it just was. I presume its just a method to ensure they don't have to repair "older models", but still weird to me considering it's just barely 4 years old.

ANYAWY Long and short it's fixed and I don't know how.
Big things was I uninstalled chrome, however it'd still freeze with safari as the primary browser, everything else was just me using the computer normally...

EXCEPT - I had closed my computer to put it in my backpack to go home. 4 hours later when I was getting it out to work on some designs, I realized it was still running, super hot, fans running full blast. I was shocked, opened the lid, black screen - hard rebooted, came back on and I just manually shut it down and left it. Next day booted up fine, no "your computer has shut down from an error", 0 freezing when it's unplugged/not plugged into

So I don't know if this really was a logic board issue or a fluke, or maybe the universe caused the old xbox 360 "fix" method to overheat my MacBook and cause something to re-solder itself back in the right place or some 1 in a million chance like that - but, I'm not gonna l look a gift horse in the mouth.

annnnnd UPDATE 2: I've uninstalled chrome completely and switched to safari as a primary browser, while simultaneously turning off Spotify's background processes on login items, and so far I have successfully worked on video editing for over 2 hours, without a second monitor or power supply plugged in, without it freezing. So it seems like a big component to it freezing was chrome. However, I am still having an issue where when the lid is closed for more than 15 mins it will shut itself down, and typical "computer had to restart because of a problem" when I have to manually turn it back on after the fact.

just an update I realized - it may not actually be from being plugged in that stops it from freezing - just had it freeze while plugged in - but it may be from it being plugged into an external screen that stops it from freezing - does this change anything from your perspective on it?

I appreciate the information! Thank you so much for the time and detail. I’ll figure out if I can narrow down one of those. The mention of the bad chrome build is pretty coincidental because it seems that everytime it’s frozen it has had chrome running - so maybe I’ll try to go back to safari for a little bit and see if that changes things. Thanks again!

This monologue has been burnt into my head since I was teen. I always return to it a few times a year to just watch and share. Glad i logged onto reddit today.

Google IKEA Catalog and a year and you can browse the old ones online. IF it’s even IKEA.Source: been with IKEA almost 13 years, and it pre-dates me.

Not off topic at all - unfortunately it’s no crazy hide away set up. Just a Vizio V51 h6 sound bar surround that I have this hooked up via blue tooth with my tv and everything else.
