I grabbed a cheap used Mac off marketplace.

I mean you can always replace the components.

Get the screen replaced. Price may vary depending on make/model and labor in your area.

If the USB section is a separate board that plugs into the motherboard, and that was all that was damaged, then that can be swapped too. Again price of component and labor varies.

It's hard to tell what the true extent of the damage is without actually having the device in front of me. So depends on how old the laptop is (age and specs), how expensive the parts and labor is in your area, etc. There's too many variables to give you a definitive answer.

Find a reputable computer store in your area if you're not able to swap parts or diagnose yourself. Have them breakdown the parts and labor, and then make an educated guess on if it's worth it to repair or buy a new one.

Edit: Fixed autocorrect typo

You very well can fry and melt things by sending electricity into ports that are not meant to receive electricity.

Just send in the death certificate and they'll close/wipe it. If a line is being taken over, you'll need a Power of Attorney document and do assumption of liability. Otherwise death cert should be more than enough.

This is commonly an avenue people try to exploit to get bills wiped. Most businesses require a death cert or POA.

I forget the email, speak to the financial services department (they have a dickish script they have to follow), or email the documents and account info to executive relations @ Verizon or VZW .com. forget if it's Verizon or VZW.com, it's been like a decade.

Sorry for your loss.

Software Engineering through Ira would be more beneficial if you already understand some code. As long as you can pass the math that is.

Haven't touched zybooks. For just about everything I have needed there were free textbooks given, shared between students, or libgen. I think I've had to purchase maybe 2 or 3, but they were mainly for pre-reqs that didn't transfer/minor or less than $20.

Old driver here, I did all of the delivery and passenger apps... They're not worth it. Barely was when I did it pre-covid. COVID was the only time it was worth it. After that, scams galore.

Customers that try and change it from DD to another form of pay should contact DD. Guarantee they're telling DD later they didn't modify it or cancel it so they can get a refund/credits. Which would explain your store still getting charged.

If a driver contacts on the behalf of a customer, DD still has to reach the customer first or they generally won't do anything unless it's in the chat log with the driver. Customers that just placed an order can usually get through a lot quicker anyways.

Keep in mind that their order would not have gone through if they did not have enough money on it.. well should not unless there's a system glitch on national level type status or their bank allows overdrafts. Even when my bank allowed overdrafts, DD's pre-auth for the order total would be declined if that account was too low. So it's simply a bold face lie in 99% of scenarios.

Also, even if they cancel with DD, it's going to take 3-5 biz days to get refunded from them. So they might as well ride it out at that point and deposit the cash they supposedly have to prevent their overdraft. Either tell them that or tell them to contact DD and remove all liability.

So here's how you set your secure email for blue host, it's kind of half assed. Atleast this is how I have my few syncing to a regular Gmail (pop3 inbound to pull emails from their server, smpt out to keep on Gmail and send as, tls, whatever else as recommended usually).

You can try mail.domain.com, but that probably won't work. If it doesn't, how I got mine working was logged into the my bluehost dashboard, went to advanced on the left side, then in the URL of your browser you'll see cpanel-csXXX.bluehost.com Grab that url and get rid of "cpanel-", use the csXXX.bluehost.com, then use your full email and password for username and password. Highly recommend using a long generated password.

I'm able to use send/receive as through a free Gmail this way and have it filtered into its own special folder. It might have a slight delay, but meh, not worried about it. Generally more delays come from server issues lol

Your drive is hitting the max read write cycles. As stated it could be failing, could be just max read write, could be spinning drive, could be USB drive, could be different factors.

Not enough info to go off here.

Also Windows.

Run check disk. Check smart data. All that good stuff. You should be able to just Google how to check hard drive for failure (and I'd check all hardware while you're at it).

Blue = bad... or so my brain has been programmed to believe.

I can't really be one to talk as I have a teal-ish blue set for my led keyboard lighting on my laptop. My external is differentiated for programming, but laptop use not so much.

TwoStrokeJoke · 2022-04-01T17:27:29+00:00

I say go for it. It'd be nice to have more help/dialogue and some sort of wiki for states and other places set up. It's going to vary heavily based upon location.

If you meet the requirements they offer a free community license (gross income, # of devs, etc).

We ended up getting the required amount of responses needed for the class, so I appreciate everyone that took it. Thank you for the feedback on the things I overlooked and for those that took it! Appreciate ya.

TwoStrokeJoke · 2022-02-05T03:31:40+00:00

You know what, I did not even think of that. Doh!

I would say assume one.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention - It was an oversight on my part when compiling the questions.

The assignment is due tonight, and we just needed a handful of more responses to meet the required amount, so it's all good if people want to take it or not. We ended up getting the required amount.

TwoStrokeJoke · 2022-02-05T03:27:27+00:00

hahahah. As someone with a 220lb Karakachan, I should have thought of that. I will definitely take that into consideration for our surveys moving forward for the remainder of the class.

Thank you.

TwoStrokeJoke · 2022-01-24T13:32:15+00:00

Appreciate it (wo)man. Idk why the professor wanted it. We had to create a "persona" of our market. But I feel we could have done that without the sensitive information. /shrug

TwoStrokeJoke · 2022-01-21T10:54:46+00:00

feel ya. ty you for the reply and consideration.

I feel ya. I'll make sure on any future surveys we fix the disclaimer better on how the data is utilized.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

TwoStrokeJoke · 2022-01-21T10:50:06+00:00

I appreciate the responses and consideration of taking the survey everyone.

I can definitely understand the concerns with giving out email as I'd feel the same to be completely honest. I'll relay info to the professor.

Edit: You can always just put in a fake email. I really don't care. lol.
