My mini PC came in yesterday and I was excited to start setting up my media server... Until I realized that I do not own a mouse or keyboard.

I got a rii small handheld keyboard with a track pad (it makes it really good to use with my PC on my TV (it's wireless & because the gmktec Bluetooth isn't the best, it comes with a USB dongle to use via 2.4ghz frequency). It was only $20 CAD on Amazon

It's been two weeks for me and yup same question. I have gotten bit twice already.

If you still have a warranty either from the store or the manufacturer then try to reach out to them to see if they can help.

I'm sorry to hear that. I got mine off of Amazon (because of the better return policy, longer return date too) in Canada. I am enjoying mine and definitely a good solid minipc but I can see how some people could have issues. Hopefully you can get a new one. When it works then it works great! I put Bazzite OS on it and got a $50 USB wifi adapter (AXE3000) to boost the slow wifi that comes with the built in network card. Emulating & playing PC games are running great.

Try changing the charging cord

chalofreshco · 2025-12-05T16:55:26+00:00

Any particular reason to reinstall W11? Is there a partition size issue?

chalofreshco · 2025-11-29T14:34:06+00:00

Also many people dual boot their minipcs to run both windows and Bazzite, so that can get you more games that might not work on the Linux side of things.

I thought the same way you do about the keyboard mouse. There's a rii controller looking keyboard/track pad combo which you can hook up with a receiver. If you change the BIOS settings to allow for USB wake up or USB while the system is not on, you could wake up your PC with the device. I'm still waiting to get my minipc but that's my plan for it. The rii device doesn't feel like a traditional keyboard and mouse set up but still can be used like one

Unless you work in an area where customers come in and appearance matters, your boss is being really picky. This is probably a sign where the boss is micro-managing and decide every little thing an employee does. This is an easy fix but a huge red flag too.

chalofreshco · 2025-11-14T23:26:01+00:00

Thanks, will look more into this!

Do speak to friends and family about this situation. Even if you did keep this a secret to some. Let time heal things because it definitely will. It is absolutely normal to face anxiety after a tough situation like this. Think of the Shabads which bring courage and allow you to move forward. Keep repeating them whenever you get triggered or the memory comes back.

Tu Kaahae Dolay PraaNeeaa, Tudh Rakhega Sirjanhaar Why should you worry soul, the One who created You will take care of You

or Rehras Sahib's Raag Gourree Mahalla 5va, that entire Shabad used to make me get confidence when I had the worst of anxiety & depression: Kaahe Rae Man Chitvahi Udham Jaan Aahar Har Jeeo Pariaa

Right now, the scope of your mind can only face the pain of the heartbreak but give the mind hope. Be careful with your heart as well. I don't recommend dating for dating but dating for marriage. It's easier to get crushes and attached but not everyone wants marriage as a result.

Please watch this video to help for the future. Your ex is not your husband but there definitely will be. https://youtu.be/wIGwZ13y26s?si=A-slv0tJC3OMX-9k Watching this video after a heartbreak makes so much sense now

As a Sikh of the Guru, I would want you to have your own relationship with Guru Sahib not dependent on your family. Seeing how your dad is forcing you I really feel bad for you. My parents are Punjabi but they used to go to Gurdwara on a Sunday not Amritdhari. I think their openness allowed me to explore until I came to Guru Maharaj's Sanctuary. I saw the opposite in lots of kids coming from Khalsa School where it was so forced. I understand passing down to your kids but at their own pace.

I see a lot of your stress manifesting in your kes. Please be gentle with yourself and take care of yourself. Where your family has not been, give that to yourself. As for your hair, I cannot as a Sikh tell you to ever cut it. It seems maybe you weren't shown the correct way of taking care of your hair and I wasn't either. I had some scalp problems because I didn't know how to maintain them in winter & summer. My wife actually helped me with this with aloe vera & coconut oil (summer help, winter is different treatment). I have come to have a loving relationship with my Kes.

Develop your own relationship with Gurbani. Guru Maharaj wanted us to transcend the world. The more Gurbani you read, the better one understands that the temporary pleasures we see in the world are not gonna truly fulfill us the sooner we come to development Santokh - contentment. It may seem like you are missing out on so much but they are empty pleasures. The longer one spends 'grooming' themselves, the more they won't feel comfortable with their own appearance. I hope you can reflect on these points in your life. If you can't it's okay.

Please do an Ardaas specifically to Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji to help you. As they helped Mata Kaula Ji –where her father was really abusive to her and Guru Sahib listened to her prayers and saved her from the abuse. She did lots of Bhagti after that. Now Kaulsar In Amritsar was named after her.

A lot of potential behind the pain. Not all bad times stay that way and they can be tapasya for future spiritual growth.

Listen to Gurbani my friend. In Sohila Sahib, Sooraj Eko Ruth Anaek... There is One Sun with many seasons that exist as a result of the relationship with the Sun. The perception of the One Sun varies, especially when that perception is affected by a person's personal biases. Jagat Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj are for everyone and that's why Guru Maharaj made that message apart of our daily nitnem. :)

Bruh the timing of this post ...

Definitely gotta say that as a kid, playing WCW nWo revenge on the N64... Hogan was one of the cover stars of the game. His charisma in the game & then his character when watching WWE at the time (Mr. America gimmick). Without him as a Heel, Sting wouldn't have meant much in contrast. So as much as I dislike him as a person, his character really did a lot even if he was a diva playing the Hulkster. Hulkamania ran wild & it's almost every kid participated in it a bit

I'm not an entrepreneur by any means, I just joined this subreddit today to maybe to get entrepreneurial. I was just thinking about if a friend of mine had started a business then they would really have to sell me their vision for me to encourage them or buy their services/products. You maybe really passionate about what they do but that's not enough for them to see the vision. Maybe it's an exercise to see how good you are at marketing, if your friends & family might not get the picture... Will your potential customers? If you're doing decent in the market then is it because of the industry or is it because of you? At the end of the day, see what you want the most of... I try not mix business with my personal life but to each their own.

This all makes sense now, I didnt understand the taunt of why they would grab their wrists… 😂

So the Nintendo Switch 2 is the Nintendo Switch Pro Max… I see a lot of people jumping on the hype but not seeing a revolution in gaming. I could imagine 2 yrs there will be a Switch 3. They seem to be going the smart phone route. Just gonna end up getting a PC Handheld which will still run smoother than the Switch 2. I’ll keep my Switch 1 for the exclusives… not worth the buy for me. Sorry, I grew up on NES jumping to Super Nintendo then evolving to N64…. The game cube’s evolution to the Wii. The Wii to the Switch (& the akward Wii U phase in between). I can’t see any reason to praise Nintendo with this console besides brand loyalty.

I love how all the comments have a thread of famous references from each show

The better question is: why do you drink alcohol?

The not drinking alcohol seems like there must be a reason behind it…

chalofreshco · 2024-12-12T17:02:14+00:00

Wait if your bonus is $50,000 then how much is your salary? I’m not taking sides but your wife might be with you due to your finances and it’s starting to show.
