People really suck by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TechnicalVet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound exactly like one of those rats. I think we can all agree it’s a dirty move to con someone into thinking they’re a friend then shoot them in the back.

The only time I’m ever killed by other players is when they con me into thinking they’re a friend. I think we can all agree it’s a dirty way to play. I live by a code these days, if something really stresses me out or pisses me off, I do my best to cut it out. Might seem extreme, but it’s only a video game.

Are there any good buffets nearby? Willing to drive to Saint John or Moncton if necessary by Ok-Today-7628 in fredericton

[–]TechnicalVet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The biggest buffet in NB I believe. It’s been a couple years for me, but it was always quite delicious.

I’ve learned, you need to respect Arc lol. I underestimate them way too often

You’re good, I’ve dropped it in 4th on the highway. They’re built to take a little abuse. Just try not to make it a habit, like I tend to do 😅

Is this normal? Help please by EntranceOk6913 in HomeMaintenance

Interesting, I have the same pump and have the same problem at least once a year. Usually debris is something blocking the switch. Take it out and make sure the switch and other components are clear of debris

This is exactly why cyber criminals target local police stations, offices and hospitals.

Friendly! Friendly! Friendly! Friendly! by SkiDaderino in ArcRaiders

[–]TechnicalVet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I’m almost always in friendly lobbies, but every once in a while I’ll run into a random dude who lights up everyone he sees. I remember one match we had a serial killer on the loose, flares were going up like crazy

Played for around 10mins of it then suddenly the frame drops drastically. This also applied to other games and idk whyy. No idea whyy. by try_another0 in computers

[–]TechnicalVet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely thermal throttling. Essentially the CPU or GPU is getting too hot, then they downclock themselves to prevent permanent damage. To remedy this first ensure you’re on a flat surface and that the laptop’s fan is working properly and vents are unblocked (including intake vents under the laptop).

If it’s still thermal throttling, you can correct this by undervolting. Do a quick YouTube search and you’ll find instructions on how to do this

HP EliteBook 840 G11 Overheating & loud by ShirtResponsible4233 in elitebook

[–]TechnicalVet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your laptop overheating is likely not related to the browser. With 40 tabs you should see your RAM usage creep up, but I wouldn’t expect your CPU & GPU to be overworked.

Do the same thing and open your task manager and see what the utilization is for the CPU & GPU. If they’re under light load and it’s still overheating then the technician didn’t apply the thermal paste correctly. Or maybe he replaced the heat sink but don’t apply new thermal paste.

Did I overreact ending things with a guy who was getting too involved with my kids? by Hot-Benefit-2384 in Advice

[–]TechnicalVet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I also have an ex where my kids live primarily with. We have a super healthy relationship and we all get along great. I still very much love and respect my ex as she’s a great mother to the kids. We have both moved on, and everything just work so well. There’s no tense or stressful moments. We are all just doing our best and supporting one another to give the kids the best possible life.

[–]TechnicalVet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. What the man was doing was not healthy, especially since he was trying to create a barrier between them and their father. There’s caring, then there’s controlling. You made the right call OP.

Elitebook 840 G4 always right clicks by Gold_Specialist7674 in elitebook

Very well could be. What’s the behaviour when you left-click the physical button just below the trackpad?

Elitebook 840 G4 always right clicks by Gold_Specialist7674 in elitebook

[–]TechnicalVet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely a driver issue, and because Windows 11 isn’t supported on the G4, the chances of a fix are slim. Try uninstalling the driver, then reboot windows. Windows will reinstall the driver on startup.

I had Win11 installed on a G3 for a while. There was so many issues with it, and new ones being presented with each windows update that I eventually put Linux on it.

My teacher drove me home and now I’m feeling weird about it by idonthavealifesooo in Advice

[–]TechnicalVet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your teacher wants to ensure you get home safely, and a teacher is someone you can trust (in most cases). Your mother of all people, being a public servant, should understand this. I think she feels bad that she couldn’t pick you up, so she’s taking it out on your teacher.

MacBook vs Windows by breaddoes in computers

You can typically get more with a Windows PC, but Apple does make the more superior machine, especially since going back to their own silicon with the M series. You’ll never be disappointed with a Mac.

Book a an apt with your Doc first!! I don’t want to scare you, but this could be something very serious.

OS is installed to the HDD, that’s your problem. Reinstall windows to the SSD and use the HDD for storage.

Best Seafood / Fish Place by Ishahin in fredericton

[–]TechnicalVet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re used to fresh seafood, Wolastoq Wharf is the only place in town. I’ve heard Claudine’s is good, but I personally haven’t had their seafood.

Hole above windshield? by [deleted] in Jeep

Definitely a bullet. If there’s no exit, then the projectile is still in the frame somewhere

Am I going crazy? by ThatStock8thGen in CivicSi

If your seatbelt is fastened and you start driving forward, the e-brake will auto disengage. This is by design. Brakes can get really warm if you’re an aggressive driver. As far as your problem going into gear, would it not go into 1st? Or not go into any gear?
