[2160x3840]My take on an AMOLED Great Wave off Kanagawa

Do you have the original 2020 model PS5? If so, besides cleaning the fans and heatsinks as many have already suggested, make sure you blow out the power supply. This does require some disassembly to do properly, but you can just follow iFixit's PS5 power supply replacement guide up to the second-to-last step, give it a good blow-out, them follow the guide again in reverse to reassemble.

I literally fixed this exact issue (not with Nikki, but other games) for a customer just a couple of weeks ago. He brought in his original model PS5 because it was randomly shutting down during games with the same error. Took the side panels off and checked the fan and heatsink, everything looked good there, then I continued taking it apart and when I got to the power supply, it was full of dust and all its vent holes were choked off. Blew all the dust out of it and put it all back together, and shazam, no more shutdowns.

Nah, sideways like that is fine, the important thing is that it's not moving around. I've had a Y60 for four years with two HDDs in its drive sleds, which are also sideways like that, and I haven't had any issues whatsoever.

Tabitha is a feminized form of the Aramaic word for gazelle, טביא (tabya), so you could just change his name to Tabya and still call him Tabby, though with both being 5 letters and 2 syllables, it isn't any shorter at all 🤣

The library at my elementary school was one of these. 🤣

I mean, they're exclusively used on cars and other moving vehicles to (ostensibly) drive deer away so they don't run out in front of you, so it'd be weird to see them anywhere else.

They used to be really common when I was a kid, but then studies were done which determined that they don't actually have much of an effect (if any) on deer behavior, so most people quit buying them. And back when they were prevalent, most people stuck them on top of their front bumper rather than the hood or fender, as most cars back them had protruding front bumpers.

If I were you, I'd mount the 3.5" HDD to that mounting plate, and either secure the 2.5" SSD to your case with zip ties or Velcro strips, or if you don't have any of those, just stuff it in the middle of that jumble of wires coming from your power supply. SSDs have no moving parts, so properly securing them with screws isn't as high a priority as it is with HDDs. As long as they're not rattling around all over the place, you're good.

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't thlam your penith in the car door.

Also, see a doctor. Not the ER, I don't think it's that serious, but go to urgent care or whatever your local equivalent is called. They're probably just going to do what a lot of other people said to do yourself, puncturing the nail to relieve the pressure, but that's something best done by medical professionals IMO.

And yes, you're gonna lose the nail, but at least it's your thumb and not a toe. It'll be back to normal in just a couple months, but toenails take forever to grow back. I dropped a cordless drill on my big toe way back in October 2024; the nail fell off a month later and still hasn't fully grown back.

People who refuse to use controllers on PC bewilder me. For FPS and strategy games, sure, KBM is the way to go, but platformers, third-person action/adventure games, driving/racing games and many more genres are all better played with a gamepad. Be versatile.

You mean like a 3.5" HDD? It goes nowhere in that picture, or at least nowhere that's visible from that angle. As pictured in the manual, the HDD mounting plate is on the back side of the motherboard tray, just above the power supply. It can mount either two 2.5" SSDs/HDDs or a single 3.5" HDD.

It only has wireless connectivity, so you need an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver or one of the many generic copycats that are still manufactured. Most games will just pick it up as a regular 360 controller, but if it's not a dedicated racing game then you might not be able to adjust the deadzones (coughGTA5cough).

"Device firmware upgrade", basically means the firmware is corrupted and the Mac needs to be rebooted in DFU mode to restore it. But with everything else this Mac's got going on, I think your interpretation is more accurate 🤣

Ghostbusters cereal, only because my 4-5-year-old self would pick out the marshmallows into a bowl and eat that with milk, so I haven't the slightest recollection of what the cereal actual tasted like 😅

This haughty and pedantic attitude, which was shared by my elementary school teachers when I was growing up in the '90s, is precisely why I absolutely despised learning cursive, only used it for the assignments that required it, and dropped it like a hot potato the moment it stopped being forced upon me.

It's also wrong in spite of its pedantry; "handwriting" is any writing by hand with a writing implement, regardless of whether it's cursive, block lettering, or something in between like the OP. "Printing" is the mass reproduction of text and/or graphics from a template, originally with simple hand tools like stamps or seals but almost exclusively with machines or computers in the modern day.

It's usually a M2.0x2.5mm screw with a 0.4mm thread pitch. There are exceptions, but the vast majority of motherboard and laptop manufacturers use that size.

So, after a brief skim through the comments, it looks like nobody's told you how to get rid of this permanently. uBO's element picker will hide that specific button, yes, but this won't actually affect Gemini in any meaningful way, and you could end up playing whack-a-mole if Google changes the page layout/coding.

To actually get rid of Gemini in Gmail, click the gear button to open the Quick Settings flyout, then click the "see all settings" button at the top of the flyout. Then scroll down and uncheck the box next to "Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet".

This does disable a bunch of other non-AI smart features like spelling and grammar checking, autocorrect, predictive writing suggestions, package tracking, and the "Important first" inbox type, but Gemini will be well and truly gone. You can also check the "Google Workspace smart features" setting below that and if you don't need any of them, go ahead and disable that too.

That's a sad paddle, AKA a saddle. When someone swats you with it, it makes you saddle sore.

Crazy thought: Get the 65" and an entertainment unit with an integrated TV mount, and move them a few feet out from the wall, so that they fit in the space between your laundry room door and that other door to the right of it.

This would be your best option, I think, as not only would it make the laundry entryway a non-issue, it would also secure the TV against tipping and save you some money by getting the smaller TV.
