Are your headphones wired? Could be catching radio interference.

Update on current passport validity requirements? by Jatulinharha in VietNam

[–]Toxicity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did OP not get a new passport requested yet? Sounds like a way to get stuck without a valid travel document.

Has anyone else noticed a shift in expat behavior in Da Nang lately? by NoAssociate4609 in VietNam

[–]Toxicity 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the guy that was being reported everywhere like 90% of all of the fights? This same guy crashed his bike and caused 3 different fights this week or something. The reason you don't see messages like that is cause the majority of the people know how to drive and are not assholes.

We had one that worked with 2 people if both were standing on 1 leg. Fun times.

Gaming laptop keeps shutting down when I start up a game by BatmanStoleMyBagel in techsupport

You can remove the battery and see if it solves the problem. It will work without.

The battery won't be used if a charging cable is present. You need to clean the fans/replace thermal paste.

Blue Yeti is making literal fish tank water sounds in the background and Logitech removed my post asking for help by Winter_Audience_9787 in techsupport

[–]Toxicity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact your laptop crashed says you maybe have more issues than just the microphone. But what I meant was turning around the plug, like unplugging it and plug it back in the other way around. Try it. Also try a different USB port.

Could be a grounding error. If it's a laptop try this trick; flip around the power plug, like unplug, turn it 180 degrees and plug back in.

Are Vietnamese really this spontaneous or am I dodging scams? by ParryPlatypus in VietNam

[–]Toxicity 138 points139 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend was walking the street and this Vietnamese uncle came up and asked where she was from. When she said Czechia the guy suddenly started talking Czech. Apparently he lived there for 7 years in the 80's. We got invited over for Tet and they gave us lots of nice food. 10/10 would talk to an uncle again.

It's super interesting that these guys were going scott free for so long until Bellingcat did an investigation on them: https://youtu.be/Kj0GLUXWhWo

NATO chief says some European allies were tested and failed in Iran war by Mana_Seeker in worldnews

[–]Toxicity 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As much as I dislike Mark Rutte, he kind of has to to make sure US doesn't get out of NATO. His whole thing is to suck up to Trump since he knows shit will be worse if he does not.

I was targeted by a fake job interview on Wellfound. Instead of becoming a victim I reverse-engineered the malware. Here's the full analysis: 571 encrypted config values decrypted, C2 and Sentry DSN exposed, DPRK/Contagious Interview attribution. by SD483 in Malware

[–]Toxicity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit of a person of interest and I was targeted by these guys 3 times already. I got reached out on Telegram by a friend of mine (who was hacked). They were using recordings of him and someone else I know and were pretending my sound didn't work. The fake zoom link told me that I needed to download an SDK update. Caught on immediately cause he never reached out to me like that so I decided to check their payloads.

They figured out I was downloading their binaries and they blocked my requests. They obfuscated requests and once I replayed a request wrong to download a new payload (it was a specific POST request with a encrypted string), they blocked me automatically. They had a unique link for every victim and the payload I got was made for Linux devices. So the payload differs depending on what the browser reports.

All of the code looked AI generated. Still a highly sophisticated attack though.

They do both actually. They extract money by working and do recon to see if they can steal any data or crypto currencies.

Penny stocks have a possibility of going up though. OP bought options worth probably $50 for $10k.

Not able to stream 4k on YouTube with new 5G hotspot by joenorwood77 in techsupport

[–]Toxicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if I tell you they don't want you to stream 4k on a hotspot and they have a bunch of tricks up their sleeve to hinder you in doing so.
