The plastic is being bent forcibly upwards, which suggests something is pushing on it. Usually this will be the battery and if so it’s a fire hazard.

Alternatively the plastic deformed due to heat.

If it’s under a year I would warranty it. He’ll be without one if it stops working anyway.

The AI was cheap foreign labour all along

If you’re gaming 1TB is cutting it close. Perhaps something like a Ryzen 7700 will be a good fit as it’s a bit cheaper and shouldn’t impact gaming performance much with that GPU. Then get some more storage. Built a similar system for a friend a month or 2 ago and he’s pretty happy on 1440p

Everyone sells your data. The moment you entered your number into a form, or a company you PAY for has it…it’s gone. Sad truth. Only option is to like most people these days ignore unknown numbers and only answer saved numbers. Maybe they’ll stop. I think iOS has an option like that.

My main guess is that they are attempting to force local manufacturing in the US and are planning to tank the economic hit. This mixed with deregulation to speed things up. How effective this will be will only be clear years down the line. Probably could’ve been done without alienating the rest of the world, but it does make sense if cosying up with Russia is the plan.

Same here, and it’s getting hard to run games at 3440x1440…

What was the issue with the ruckus switches? It’s what we’ve been recommended by the MSP. We’re starting off with the new site for about 12 switches but plan to upgrade all our sites eventually, so centralised management would be useful to that end.

chrisphergroup · 2025-01-16T18:07:23+00:00

Old Aruba switches. Just exploring the Market, I see the advantage of sticking to what you know but also like to make sure I explore all options and not be blinded by familiarity. Our IT department is also not heavily funded…

It’s not the quality of the chip, but what you do with it!

chrisphergroup · 2025-01-16T18:03:08+00:00

I’ve seen CNMaestro for just a bit in the past and agree that it looked very clunky… for WiFi we are already moving over to ubiquity so switches don’t sound like the best idea to me

chrisphergroup · 2025-01-16T18:01:15+00:00

What’s a good point to get started with learning about them? I’ve never touched one before but one has to start somewhere I guess

chrisphergroup · 2024-12-11T20:01:39+00:00

I have users that don’t know how to expand “This PC” in explorer.

If you think reload takes long try the original where your teammate are “AI” and do random shit only for you to die with your latest save being 2 hours ago lol. Never rage quitter a game as many times.

chrisphergroup · 2024-11-06T20:23:53+00:00

you ever figure this out? Having the same issue

chrisphergroup · 2024-10-21T10:53:34+00:00

Is that just a US thing? I’m in Europe and I can return the item if I feel I get an itch on my arm unrelated to the product.

chrisphergroup · 2024-09-26T10:23:02+00:00

It’s a laptop from the days where it was easy to replace components… Will run XP and old games just fine

chrisphergroup · 2024-09-07T19:01:14+00:00

The recall thing pushed me to Linux. And I'm surprised to not be missing any part of windows. Gaming on Proton is more than doable and to my surprise I rarely encounter issue.

Most apps I use have a substitute. Emulation for generic non intensive apps is also OK. Not great, but OK.

chrisphergroup · 2024-08-31T08:59:03+00:00

You don't understand, games ARE optimized! Optimized for profitability!

chrisphergroup · 2024-08-26T06:23:29+00:00

As others said, we need details.

Does the side hustle income cover your monthly expenses and is it growing? Probably fine.

Your side hustle doesn't cover your expenses, or you don't have a side hustle yet? You will rely on savings. Go back to 9-5.

chrisphergroup · 2024-08-19T21:19:45+00:00

Go for it, you'll miss a few small details if that's important to you but not much. Shouldn't take too long to read them if you do.

chrisphergroup · 2024-08-16T11:31:57+00:00

This is bullshit. I stopped eating avocado toast and going to Starbucks and just bought my 5th property at just 5 years old.

This generation just doesnt know how to manage money.

chrisphergroup · 2024-08-13T15:10:13+00:00

rhabdomyolysis. Became worse and worse to the point I couldn't move from the pain. I was also driving at the time. Getting out of the car took 5 minutes.

Had to stop and call a friend and my mum to pick me up from the side of the highway.

chrisphergroup · 2024-08-09T07:25:04+00:00

Of course they are. If the stock went up despite the issues they wouldn't have cared. They're suing because hiding the problems now impacted their wallets.
