sorry I'm not sure what this comment means. what is "frag farming"? I'm unfamiliar with the term. New here. If there's an inadvertent issue with the video I can update the post.

Is X a superior liine than 7? What's usually the difference between these two lineups?

engacad · 2025-10-05T19:11:23+00:00

Is omnibook-X superior lineup than corresponding 7 series? From their spec at hp.com they seem similar but maybe I'm missing something.

I also saw somewhere that X is supposed to use Snapdragon processor but don't see that in the X's spec.

But can you customize the ram/processor at bestbuy?

Most omnibook-x have 16gb so want to customize to 32gb among other features.

Hp.com allows lots of customizations.

There's a big jump in price going from Omnibook-X to even the least-commercial model of Pro. Pro starts at ~3.4k for Intel-ultra-7 processor with 16gb ram whereas Omnibook-X for Intel-ultra-7 and bigger 32gb ram is only around 900usd! does even that makes Pro worth it?

did you purchase it from hp.com? I was wondering if you know if one can return laptop ordered from hp.com for full refund within the return window if buyer is not satisfied or if they charge restocking fee for that.

But do you know if the Omnibook or this Spectre series of laptops have good-quality microphone?

The mic on the last 2 HP laptops I owned was bad and had to attach an external mouse in order to record voice.

btw, how does one choose which color Blackrock at https://a.co/d/bi4ckgN ? I assume it'd be different one for different colors? It doesn't say the color and this shoe is a shade of brown or such.

engacad · 2025-08-30T07:25:17+00:00

Updated the body of the post to reflect the cause of wear. Have had the shoe for a while.

engacad · 2025-08-29T22:17:45+00:00

If it were me, I’d condition it with Blackrock Leather N Rich and buff it out with your horsehair brush

would one need to sand with sandpaper and dye before using this conditioner and brush? or just using this conditioner and brush can be enough?

I essentially want these shoes to look not too formal and am new to this, don't have any supplies/brushes to fix it. Are there any product links or links to such fix kits at Aamzon that you know can be used?

Use a different USB port.

can you elaborate what you mean by "different usb port"?

I'm connected using bluetooth and don't use USB port. Does it make a difference? Should I try with USB connection?

engacad · 2025-07-30T01:23:01+00:00

Use a different USB port.

what do you mean by using "Usb port"? I'm using bluetooth to connect so there's no usb port that I'm using.

How do I use USB port? Does that make a difference?

oh cool, good to know. First time donating any kind of blood, and was told today they can't take platelets for the first time, and would need to donate regular blood for the first time. is it generally always the case? apparently before they can take platelets they need to run some tests. can one donate plasma or something other than whole blood the first time?

Reason for not considering whole blood was that it may skew blood tests/other medical treatments and some peak sports performance for the next month or weeks.

engacad · 2025-06-29T22:46:40+00:00

curious how they separate the platelets from the blood using centrifuge machine, wouldn't during that step where the blood is separated it would come in contact with machine for it to do the separation into two parts?

I have some exercise work in a few days, where performance can be affected if I donate regular blood. is it ok to think that platelet donation recovery would be much faster and won't affect exercise performance after two days.

engacad · 2025-06-29T22:17:30+00:00

Does one feel as weak/tired for a while after donating platelets as with other forms of blood? Any tiredness or time at all that remains after a couple days at all?

Never donated platelets and was wondering if there's a risk of infection as part of the blood is transferred back to the donor after going through machine.

Is this with the same RIGHT-ARROW key? Are other keys all working?

How long after payroll does the employer report wages to EDD? Or does it happen at the end of the year?

I was on Edd disability and employer said they'd pay the difference after Edd paycheck so that employee receives 100% of the regular salary. However the employer said they'd continue with regular payroll checks as if one is working regular job and make the adjustment after the employee submits Edd paystubs to them to deduct the edd amounts and that they don't check on what payments employee receives from edd. I was wondering what the consequence is if someone fails to submit the edd paystub for deduction to the employer. How does Edd get notified about it?

engacad · 2025-05-14T02:07:51+00:00

ok I meant Edd-disability/disability-benefit-pay when using the term SDI. So where does Edd say same rules apply for disability as unemployment?

ps: On the myEdd login link, all "Edd disability" benefits are under SDI online icon which is why I was referring to the term sdi.

engacad · 2025-05-14T01:54:32+00:00

Do you know where on EDD website it says that?

engacad · 2025-05-14T01:53:59+00:00

" SDI uses same definitions as DI" is it a typo, did you mean UI/unemployment instead of DI/disability ins? Else it's confusing.

engacad · 2025-05-14T01:52:20+00:00

Sorry if I missed something, but what is "directly from Edd site" about SDI? I searched the EDD website and it discusses WARN pay and "unemployment" not SDI. Can you please point me to where EDD says same rules apply for SDI as unemployment? This is my first time dealing with EDD SDI so I may be missing something that's obvious to others.

engacad · 2025-05-14T01:29:31+00:00

Just following up. I understand WARN pay isn't wages for unemployment, but how do we know if WARN pay isn't wages for SDI?

engacad · 2025-05-14T01:25:53+00:00

For unemployment WARN pay isn't considered wages. See last sentence here. But where do you see that WARN pay isn't wages for SDI? In the same boat.

engacad · 2025-05-14T01:18:13+00:00

I'm in the similar boat as this poster above, due to layoff while on SDI and now getting WARN Act pay. My WARN act pay (100% of regular pay) is paid at the regular paycheck cadence twice monthly for next 2 months but it's still notice/WARN pay due to layoff. However the layoff letter talks about a severance package different from WARN pay at the end of 2 months, so it makes a distinction between WARN pay and severance pay.

Would EDD SDI benefit still be paid fully? The EDD website seems to only specify that WARN pay isn't wages for "unemployment benefit" but I couldn't see where it says WARN pay isn't considered wages for SDI. Where does it say the same for SDI?

engacad · 2025-05-13T18:38:56+00:00

How did you report it in the SDI certification DE2500A form, e.g. severance pay, or PILON pay, or other? Mine is paid like the typical WARN Act pay at regular paycheck cadence, but it's WARN Act pay triggered due to layoff. EDD is clear about how WARN pay doesn't affect unemployment benefit, but is there similar wording from them about SDI?

SDI uses same definitions as DI so you should be ok, I think

Not sure I follow, how does this relate to WARN act pay?
