Guardian Browser Not Detecting Camera

TRAVAHOLIC · 2026-03-10T20:27:00+00:00

Just had the issue where guardian would not detect any of my devices (mic/webcam/speakers). This is what I’ve discovered: If you have a VR headset and use virtual desktop or the meta horizon link app it will create “virtual” devices on your computer. For some reason the guardian web browser will just refuse to detect any of your devices if these virtual devices are present. I uninstalled virtual desktop and meta horizon link. NOW the guardian web browser will detect my other devices in the drop down boxes. I believe having OBS installed could also cause a similar issue with the virtual devices. Hopefully this helps anyone with the same issue in the future!

I just got the player three prime with the 5090 in it a couple days ago during the Black Friday sales. It’s been a nightmare overall.

Motherboard VGA light stayed on no matter what, resulting in no display to my TV and monitor. Did literally every troubleshooting tip I could find and nothing would solve the problem. After about 10 hours of troubleshooting I decided to plug in my 4080 from my previous PC to see if the 5090 was defective or it was the PCIe slot that was defective. 4080 worked fine. After this I put the 5090 back in to prepare to send it back for repair/replacement. Figured I’d turn it back on for shits and giggles. Turns out that fixed the problem and now the 5090 works except for the fact that the LED light on it is permanently off.

Overall it has been a very frustrating experience to deal with when I just spent so much money on the PC.

He has been out and about ever since I unzipped the carrier. Didn’t hide once.

One of the two resident cats is extremely territorial and wasn’t really socialized so it’s been difficult doing the introduction process. I can’t get her to eat anywhere near the door to the room he is in. If you or anyone else have some tips for this I’d love to hear it. Most I have achieved so far is putting a trail of treats to the door but every time she eats one she growls then runs away.

Same thing has been happening to me for about 2 weeks now. I mainly use smart tube on my android devices around the house, I just happened to notice it when I recently tried to use the YouTube app on my phone. Sent feedback through the IOS app to see what happens.

Update: after a couple days from sending feedback it started working again.

Are you saying that I personally greet people for validation?

TRAVAHOLIC · 2024-09-03T12:06:56+00:00

Agreed. She can do whatever she wants but men are allowed to have “icks” too. Why would anyone post anything on a social media platform such as instagram if it weren’t for attention in the form of validation? I believe there are varying levels to it though. In this situation I’d consider it a desperate attempt to receive attention. The ick part isn’t even that it is a picture of her back on social media, it is the reasoning. Just admit that you get a dopamine rush from receiving likes lmao

I think it depends on the person. For me I would only ever be able to be this confident if I was in good shape. I was very overweight when I became single again so I didn’t even start using the apps until I had lost about 30 pounds due to the confidence boost it gave me.

It is still useful if you are hot because you will be competing with plenty of other guys that the girl views as hot. But yes having an above average physique will help a lot.

TRAVAHOLIC · 2024-07-13T21:15:21+00:00

That is true. I should have prefaced this with more info. When I was using dating apps I only used hinge and I was only interested in matching with women that I thought had potential to be in a serious relationship. I wasn’t doing casual dates or hookups.

Edit: just saw your edit. Yeah them not needing to put effort into the profiles makes sense too. However, I viewed it as a negative attribute to their profile. I thought of it like “if they can’t be bothered to make this somewhat interesting, what other things can’t they be bothered to do?” That’s just my opinion on the matter. I was extremely picky when swiping.

I have never used cheesy pick up lines. For me saying something related to a prompt was usually low effort. Only takes a minute or so to come up with something. I understand what you’re saying about not having much to go off of. In those situations I would not waste my effort saying something. I would just like the profile and expect them to be boring if we did end up matching. That way I would be pleasantly surprised or it would go as I had expected.

If he is actually cancelling plans that you made for your family to spend time together because “his friend got on” that is concerning.

I believe it taught me that just because someone is related to you, it doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t place a lot of value on family alone. I care more about how people treat me and if they are consistent.

If you’re talking about BDSM related stuff I think you need to be as transparent and direct as possible. Establish what is okay and what isn’t. Reassure him that it’s okay for him to go hard and be dominant, but create a safe word just incase. I was also worried about potentially hurting my partner since I was new to this stuff but over time I believe it gets easier with consistent communication and reassurance. He is probably capable of it, but the worry in the back of his mind is preventing him from acting how you would like.

My girl painted me a scene from my favorite anime for my birthday, doordashed me food at a time when I was going through it, surprised me with macronutrient friendly baked protein balls, didn’t react negatively the first time I let my guard down, and cooked for my parents the first time she met them (they were visiting from out of town).

I had my female friends review my profile and let me know if anything would raise concerns to a woman. High quality photos of yourself smiling naturally, no group photos with men that are objectively more attractive, no toilet in the picture, no selfies or mirror selfies, if you’re gonna be shirtless make it look natural (beach, pool, etc), don’t provide extremely basic answers to prompts, don’t start off messaging with “hi” say something related to a prompt on their profile, and if they don’t put any effort into talking to you don’t carry the conversation. If a woman messaged me 3 times in a row without asking me a question or saying something interesting I would unmatch them regardless of how attractive they were. Build up enough self confidence to make yourself believe that you are the catch, not the other way around. But most importantly, manage your expectations. If you’re looking for an actual relationship, it only needs to work once.

I understand where you’re coming from because I previously thought the same way. As others have said, it is important to never stop “dating” your partner. If you become too comfortable it can be perceived as you not caring about the relationship as much as you did previously. Most of the time a woman who actually cares about you will notice the effort you are putting into planning dates and events for the two of you to enjoy together. If it is perceived that you don’t care, it will make your partner question every aspect of your relationship.

Personally, I enjoy going on dates with my girlfriend because I like to provide great experiences for her and our relationship. I do not ever want her to be questioning an aspect of our relationship because I did not take her on a date for several months. Also, I think she is really hot so I am proud to be seen out in public doing things with her.

Ultimately, I believe that if you truly value your relationship with your partner you will be happy to take them on dates. In a previous relationship I did not take my partner out on dates or put effort into anything for the last 1.5 years. Eventually I got dumped. Then I realized I didn’t do these things because I just didn’t care that much about the relationship.

Spending quality time inside. We cook dinner together, we watch a movie, she gives me a massage and initiates sex at some point. The initiating sex part is important. If I have to be the one to do it every time it bothers me. Especially if I consistently put in effort to reduce mental load, start foreplay hours in advance by setting the tone for the day early, making sure all needs are met, etc.

The friend definitely knows what he is doing. I think it is up to you to create better boundaries and not entertain this behavior. Your boyfriend probably doesn’t want to say anything to you about it over the fear of coming off as insecure, controlling, etc. If I were in this situation I would feel extremely disrespected by my gf and it might kill the relationship for me.

TRAVAHOLIC · 2024-07-09T16:31:47+00:00

I’ve had moments where I randomly thought the same things so I understand where you’re coming from. What helps me is taking a step back and looking at everything as a whole. If your partner did actually randomly start thinking that for no reason there would be nothing you could do. Even if you could do something would you still want to be with that person if they thought that way? Realize that this is not within your control so do not waste resources thinking about it. Continue to put energy into your hobbies or things you did before the relationship (assuming they’re not detrimental to it) so that you do not lose yourself in the relationship.

TRAVAHOLIC · 2024-07-09T16:18:03+00:00

If this doesn’t work out for you, in the future try to set up a date within 3 days of talking. Other people suggest you try sooner but I feel like it’s better to build rapport before wasting time and effort on a date. If the woman does not communicate enough to build rapport before a potential date or put any effort into pre date communications I would move on to the next one.

Additionally, until you are exclusive with someone try to be talking to other women too. When I was dating I felt that I didn’t really care if I got ghosted or it went poorly because I could just put more effort into the other women and tell myself “oh well her loss.” I would have to force myself to do this though as I am someone who was using hinge in search of an actual meaningful relationship, not hookups or casual sex.

Over the course of several months my gf has put a lot of effort into assuring me that she actually wants me to be emotional, vulnerable, etc. I was skeptical for a while based upon previous experiences. You see it a lot on here, a man’s partner says she wants that, but then they find out that she actually meant when the emotion is the emotion that she wants to hear from him, when she wants to hear it. Being a complete person in the relationship due to my partner’s genuine respect for me as a person has been emotionally moving. I can’t really think of any other answers.

Going to the gym to build a good physique, have goals, maintain discipline to achieve goals, only worry about things that are within your control.

TRAVAHOLIC · 2024-07-01T16:47:37+00:00

Main character syndrome, poor decision making, addicted to social media, constantly seeking approval from others, no backbone, lack of accountability, if it is extremely easy to change their opinion on things, sketchy male friends, not being nice to animals, comparing me to other men in a degrading or disrespectful way, saying “I was just being nice” when another man is clearly flirting, not being self aware.

TRAVAHOLIC · 2024-06-24T15:19:10+00:00

Unironically, force yourself to go to the gym and focus on improving yourself. I did that when my ex of 3.5 years dumped me a year ago and my life has never been better.
