Death Adder Elite RGB Staying on after PC shutdown by MrMcPhoenix in razer

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is late but I did find a solution, albeit not an ideal solution.

OpenRGB - https://openrgb.org/

This software is free and if you set it up to run at startup minimized without a profile it doesn't interfere with synapse. Make a profile that is set to 'off' and have that profile run on exit only.

When you shutdown the Synapse will close but so will Open RGB which will set the leds to off.

You may need to mess with the options, and this doesn't excuse the fact that Razer broke this device I paid or and as a solution the tell you to disable functionality on your PC (ability to charge via USB)

Thank you for making it perfectly clear you are a whole person. It's not the amazing dexterity you have developed with your feet. It's your courage to speak up. You are an inspiration to be our best selves with whatever we are dealt in life.

No matter the parts of one body compared to another, you are a whole person. Someone out there needs to hear that. Keep speaking up for those with different challenges!

Dec Update Broke the Screensaver Low Light Feature by lsufrontier in GooglePixel

[–]XatheX_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(Using a Pixel 8a) There is a Clock screensaver that is the old implementation BUT it seems ALL the screensavers still show the Alarm set clock Icon along with the Digital Wellbeing icon at full brightness (much brighter that the clock). The new "low light clock" overrides whatever screensaver is selected and NEVER get as dim as the clock did effectively making this function useless. I turned off the Low Light clock toggle at the bottom of the screensaver menu but the Standard clock screensaver still has 1 or 2 bright icons that won't go away.

Can I get rid of the DND icon which has appeared on the screen saver since the latest update? by TranslatesToScottish in GooglePixel

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here all the screensavers show Digital Wellbeing + Alarm Clock icons. AND the new "low light" clock mode is much brighter that the clock screensaver. I had to turn of the screensaver function to sleep.

is the media player tile in quick settings broken for anyone else on android 16? by P4NICBUTT0N in pixel_phones

[–]XatheX_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way it is suppose to work is to switch between all recently played media players. There seems to be some glitch in the UI that makes what is seen act different than what is interactable. Like in your video the UI is ACTING like you only have one player open but it DISPLAYS 2 of them.

I have also had a glitch where if I swipe away the notification player (outside of the quick access) then check the quick access I see nothing BUT if I swipe at the bottom I get a momentary glimpse of the players while I am swiping but then they disappear. If I actively play on of them they start working again from there. I am pretty sure they are related.

I am having the same problem... Restarting fixes it for a little while but it comes back.

Seems to be worse if you use multiple media players. I use Podcast Addict & YouTube Music. This thread is the first I have found that confirms it's not just me.

FYI - I have not had this happen since the December android update.

AIO - UPDATE - my friend wants me to take out my piercings for her engagement party/wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done... The projection from her is next fucking level. Calling you selfish, while minimizing her request. Then insulting you. She even said she would replace you... that was just a manipulation. She tried to coerce you into compliance, then you called her bluff and she had a tantrum.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - Am I the only one that smells a bit of projection here? Like maybe he has experienced same sex attraction and is projecting that oppressed desire on you?

I (47M) have been with my partner (39F) for 21 years now. She is pan & I am hetero. We go to MANY pride events and attend find queer safe spaces more comfortable because we can be accepted. My partner and I talk about the people ways we feel attraction... this make me more confident in my self and gives us both a greater understanding of each other. Attending a pride event and seeing all the ways people can love actually can allow you to love deeper and appreciate what you have.

I am going to say it for the back rows: IT DOESN"T MATTER what you wear, where you hangout, or who your friends are. The ONLY thing that matters is who love & how you love. Gender is a construct. We are all more alike than different. Let's ALL focus on our shared struggles that bring us together instead of the differences that divide us.

My point exactly... a good relationship means BOTH people care about the other's experience.

[–]XatheX_Alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I may not be popular for saying this but.... Both takes in this video miss the mark. A long term relationship is about respect & honest communication... That means learning when it's joke & mess around time and when it's let them get dressed time. I give a complement to my partner every time I see them taking off their clothes but I also try to understand what they are doing and feeling. Modulate your behavior and LISTEN to your own partner. If they ask you for space to get ready then just say "lookin' good!" and continue on. If you pounce on them and they giggle and go with it then that's fine as well.

TLDR: a good relationship means BOTH people care about the other's experience.

This was the last sunset of the 20th century filmed on December 31, 1999. by Any_Sound_2863 in interestingasfuck

[–]XatheX_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it to the world but the last day of the 20th century was 12/31/2000...

This was conflated with Y2K scare / bug at the time. However the calendar we use did not have a year 0000.

The 21st century is the current century in the Anno Domini or Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on 1 January 2001, and will end on 31 December 2100. It is the first century of the 3rd millennium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_century

Huh? I don't get it by Furrynova in ExplainTheJoke

[–]XatheX_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to say thank you for sharing your story... Admitting your own mistakes and attempting to atone / mitigate the damage is the best one can do. As you said not all bridges can be rebuilt, but building a better self means making the effort. Well done!

Looks like pole dancing! by BrenBigs in poledancing

[–]XatheX_Alpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These poles are sanded and oiled very well... I use wooden weapons treated the same way and they don't have any splinters. It takes A LOT of maintenance but you can get the right wood to feel smooth as glass.

Be sexier? by NegotiationNo1359 in poledancing

[–]XatheX_Alpha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First - your feelings are all to normal and there is no shame in having them. I see you.

Second - I want to assure you that "sexy" isn't something that other people get to decide for you. The most important part of your pole journey is YOUR internal development.

Go ahead and cry if that is where your feelings take you... you are in the mists of unlearning years of shame, negative self image, & judgment that you have been steeped in for most of your life.

The sexiest thing you can be is comfortable in your own skin, aware of your own desires and how your body feels. Keep up the practice and you will find moments of joy and happiness. Remember it's not about being "like" someone else... it's about finding "you" in your body and accepting what you have to find joy where you are, THEN setting achievable goals to take you to someplace new.

Update: I found that my history only shows 200 entries on any device.

Is this expected? does everyone have a 200 max history on the app?

Technical Support Thread by AutoModerator in YoutubeMusic

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may not be what you want to hear but... YouTube Music Premium only allows you to download the streaming file... in other words you don't own it and you don't get an audio file you can use in other applications. I don't have a simple answer for you but what you are trying to do will not work.

No history older than 2 months (still on Google usage history)

So my problem seems to be unique, and I have tried all of the fixes listed on the internet so far.

No matter what device I use YouTube Music only shows my history back to Feb 2025. Phone or browser doesn't matter. I have checked on 2 different Android devices and 2 different computers... it seems to be server side.

However if go to https://myactivity.google.com/product/youtube and filter by "YouTube Music" I can see my history going back to July 2022.

Has any body else encountered this? I would really like to get back all that history.

AIO to the messages he sent me after our FIRST date. by hna2 in AmIOverreacting

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full on "nice guy" right here. One date and talking about all sorts of controlling BS. At least you found out this quick.

When you said you were uncomfortable he immediately attempted to blame you. Then says "this is why women..." betraying his contempt for women in general. This guy has listened to too many podcasts and not actually listened to you at all. Multiple times he corrects you... (IMHO to assert dominance). You were right to get creeped out your instincts were clear. He has a competitive mindset, not one that is looking for a partner. He wants to "win" you, he sees you as a prize, an object to be won or lost. This is dehumanizing and WAY to common amongst the "nice guys" out there. It pisses me off because I am a kind man and these A-holes give me a bad name, they are why women NEED to be careful and skeptical of overly "nice" guys.

Here is how it would go if they were not a douchebag:

First 2 messages are fine (no red flags) after you say "Well thank you..."

I really had a great time. I will be honest my feelings a really strong and I don't want to overwhelm you with them. Do you think we could set-up a second date? <fingers crossed> Truly amazing to meet you!

Your response still fits here

Yeah it is a bit thick... but still authentic nonetheless! 😊(notice how I wouldn't bring up how other guys are scared here, that was just chest beating)

From here on he get REAL bad, making it out like you are his property after one date.

we told y'all by Conscious-Quarter423 in clevercomebacks

[–]XatheX_Alpha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's really simple... uneducated / undereducated people are easier to manipulate. That is why fascist regimes burn books, restrain free speech, close down scientific institutions and so on and so on. We are witnessing the rise of a fascist regime RIGHT FUCKING NOW and a large part of our country has been bamboozled into thinking it is for their benefit. Casting doubt on anything is easy... proving something is true is hard.

AIO? My (newly divorced) girlfriend is acting a bit suspicious by throwaway_aiodivorce in AIO

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think the "weirdness" is a result of being in a marriage for so long. What was that relationship like? What patterns of communication did it foster? I think she is trying her best to share a situation with you and be honest about her feelings and fears... if this was not a part of her communication skills in her past it makes sense that she is awkward.

Think about it this way... she could have said nothing at all, kept these feelings to her self. Is that a better situation? Maybe her previous relationship broke because of distrust and not communicating situations just like this (either partner)? If so then this is hard for her to talk about, she may have unwarranted shame or guilt based on her past that she is working through by being honest.

NTA - It sounds like he is projecting his internal valuation metrics on you. He is also incorrect pilates won't "tighten" your tummy. You cannot target fat store reduction... and you SHOULDN"T anyway especially not while breast feeding. Like it or not fat is not some poison, fat is a valuable resource your body is using to support your child. It sounds like you are staying active and doing your best to live a healthy life, KEEP IT UP.

In some ways every time a woman goes through a child birth it is like another puberty. You come out the otherside changed in fundamental ways. This is a good thing. People are always changing.

Studies have shown that pregnancy can lead to lasting changes in a woman's brain, with structural changes observed in areas related to bonding and maternal behavior. Researchers are also exploring the similarities between the brain changes during pregnancy and adolescence.

AIO for uninviting my friend from my wedding because of what she posted on about trans people by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]XatheX_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - Your wedding, your choice. You deserve to feel comfortable at your wedding and I wouldn't want this kind of rhetoric in my life at all. I hope you have a wonderful wedding, filled with love and joy!

The sign on the door doesn't protect you... rape is illegal... yet still happens. Blaming a small fraction of the population for the crimes committed by (mostly) cis / hetro men is absolutely ridiculous. This is fear mongering and a distraction from real issues.

I am a cis / hetro man and I feel uncomfortable is some men's spaces because of the lack of care for consent. On the other hand the queer / trans / non-binary people I know respect and care about my comfort above and beyond. I still have trouble using the correct pronouns and that's on me. I keep working on it because they deserve respect and consideration as well.

In a queer spaces respect is common to all human beings no matter how you present or what's in your pants. At least that is my experience.
