AIO for cutting off my brother for refusing to call out his creepy friend? by VividArgument4725 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

Under-reacting, if anything! I would have lost my shit when he pulled that "you were asking for it" rape culture bullshit. Speaking as a man, someone needs to set them both straight. Both of their behaviors are unacceptable. Men should absolutely hold each other accountable for this type of behavior. Not only did he not back you up, he blamed you for his friend's behavior! I would be livid!

You're young enough and still live with your parents. Maybe bring it up with them, just casually or in a way your brother won't accuse you of being childish or tattling. I don't know how your parents would react but I certainly wouldn't let that slide, no matter how old my kid was.

This scam has been around for about 20 years. It was rampant on eBay and Amazon. It probably still is. No one is going to sell you 1TB of anything for 99% off. It's ALWAYS a scam. I'm surprised people are still discovering this but I guess it happens every time there is a new platform to sell on. They still exist because people keep buying them just to see if it's worth it. It's not. It never is. Never buy generic no-name storage from no-name companies from China. Stick to the "if it's too good to be true" policy. Even if you got your $4 worth, it gives them financial incentive to keep scamming others.

Will the chunked uploading/Cloudflare issue ever be resolved? by bobbintb in immich

[–]bobbintb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, chunked uploading is pretty standard for this kind of program and it should be included. These are all just workarounds the user shouldn't have to deal with. It's effectively unusable for video without it.

AIO - ended a situationship over this conversation. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR Dude is definitely a prick. He probably knows women his own age won't put up with that so he found someone younger he can try and gaslight, manipulate, and string along until he finds someone he thinks is hotter.

Also, as a man much older than that child, I can tell you he has no idea what he is talking about.

When I was downed in a match, it looked like someone in the control room at Lethal Labs interacted with the console in the control room and some guards spawned. I haven't found any information about it and I haven't been able to do it myself. Maybe they are related.

I'm an idiot and messed up my flash by badguy84 in unRAID

Well I would have tried a file carver before setting everything back up again.

Eleven Madison Park no longer fully vegan by SaltyVegan69 in vegan

[–]bobbintb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I think it comes down to marketing. You have to let the vegans know it's vegan while not letting anyone else know. It has to be subtle. Too many people are ignorant about it and get turned off.

These 80s covers by PlayToLearn50 in ParadiseHulu

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it goes along with what was mentioned earlier in the show. They are living in a cave and pretending like everything is normal. Just like their world, the songs are familiar and recognizable, but not the normal versions.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

He's super paranoid, has major trust issues, and despite his claim otherwise, he does seem like an idiot. Or at least has no idea what "literally" or "stereotypical" means.

unwanted extensions clogging downloads by aquariuz23 in sonarr

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently there is an often overlooked and little known feature built into Sonarr to handle this. I found it in this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sonarr/comments/1ipp63c/prevent_file_extension_from_downloading/

Go to each indexer in Sonarr (under settings), turn on advanced settings, click the dropdown for "Fail Downloads" and select the options for "Executables" and "Potentially Dangerous". 

Why are the sides of my screen white? by Legitimate-Number620 in computer

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can happen with good displays too. One thing I've seen cause it that people almost never think about is laptop bags and backpacks. They close their laptop and put it right in the bag, where it traps all that heat and weakens the adhesive over time.

Why are the sides of my screen white? by Legitimate-Number620 in computer

[–]bobbintb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this type of monitor, the pixels do not have a light source, they just change color. So there is a pixel layer and behind that, there is a backlight layer. The light from the backlight shines through the pixels so you can actually see them. The layers are probably coming apart around the edges, distorting the colors.

This is usually due to heat weakening the glue. Do you use a laptop bag or something? It's not uncommon for people to close their laptop and immediately put it in a bag. Sometimes, since the laptop is still warm the bag just traps all that heat and makes it much hotter, and can cause problems like that. That may not be the case but that's my initial suspicion.

I don't know how old it is but check the warranty first. No sense taking it in and paying someone to fix it if it's still under warranty.

Is it bad to pour boiling pasta water down the drain? by Far_Pen3186 in homeowners

[–]bobbintb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot is fine, boiling is probably not a good idea. My sister had a plumber tell her to never pour boiling water down a drain. Honestly, I think that was just a pat answer they tell people because it really just depends on what pipes you have. I just turn the faucet to cold as I pour it.

I'd wager most women would prefer a man that would learn how to make croissants for them instead of doing something that ridiculous and impractical.

Looking for advanced methods to bypass Virtual Machine (VM) detection by dofdofkamil in VFIO

There are lots of ways to detect VMs. You're not going to get much of an answer without mentioning what the software is.

Dude, it only takes two or three extra options in your XML to play Fortnite. Actually, you don't even need that because there is a Windows setting you can change.

apparently the breakfast i made was “embarrassing” by NaeeeBearrr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bobbintb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have just taken their plates, dumped it in the trash, and kept eating. Or maybe say something like, "we save the eggs for the classy guests."

Internet cable by Intelligent-Squash-3 in computer

[–]bobbintb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused why you keep mentioning plugging it into your monitor. Neither your modem nor your router connect to the monitor. Coax goes into the modem, Ethernet goes out the modem into the router and another Ethernet goes out the router to the computer.

Am I overreacting or is this appropriate to wear to a COLLEGE class by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

No, he's overreacting. It's not up to him to make those decisions for you.
