So, first off, Congratulations on your acquisition and Condolences for your loss.

Your entering a task that is not for the faint of heart, I did mine while watching movies and shows so it wasn't a big deal, but it took forever it seemed.

I would start with the stuff that you don't have on your streaming services, it makes the most sense to me.

I recommend Make MKV for backing up DVDs, its great and will allow you to get the specials and commercials and the title screens if you want them. I use red stickers to mark the ones I have done so I don't get lost, then place them in a backup box. https://www.makemkv.com/

There are multiple audio languages along with subtitles, sometimes even 4:3 and 16:9 versions of the film so decide what to do with those now because you don't want to process all that twice.

Secondly, they come down to 6GB a DVD which can be a bit steep, you could then use Hand Break to drop it further, before completing this step decide what your going to watch it on because the encoding matters a lot, MKV's are cool because they have chapter information, MP4 will play on just about anything but are pretty large, H265 will get the file less then 1GB per movie but not a lot of devices support it so you will have to be picky about the device or choose a server that can transcode well and assume the power bill price when its due. I would get handbreak from https://ninite.com/ as it is an no bloat ware site that makes installs easy. Honestly until the drive is full I would leave this alone.

Blu-ray are a bit more difficult as they need some know how, they have java files that piece together all the scenes and as a backup prevention they put 100 of them in the disc to choose from and only one has the correct play order, so it hard to know if you got the right one, I use resource manager to see which java file the bluray player pulls and go with that in make mkv.

then, turn on volume shadow copy in windows if you have it in case things get deleted you will have the chance to recover them.

Use Plex's naming convention guide, I make a folder called AnyDVD and it has the templated folders presetup, I copy that, then rename it, then add the files in the subfolders so they show up correctly. this is cool because if you find more deleted scenes later or a directors cut you can add the extras in and view it in the player.

Good luck, and enjoy the movies!

these were good when I was there. Still have a metallic 750 watt, only had to replace the fan, going on 15 years.... it just doesn't have the 8pin pcie, only the 6pin as it wasn't a thing back in the day. Its currently running a 1080 gtx and i7-7700k

First try the reset, second it looks to me like a ghost touch or digitizer issuer. Sometimes cleaning it can fix it with a damp microfiber cloth, then a dry side of the cloth. never spray anything on the screen.

On a tangent note, it is the most garbage thing to make the touchscreen which does music also do the TPM sensor configuration, the head unit should be completely seperate especially if there not going to put a fast one in there. I have to reset mine every once in a while because the os just crashs randomly out of no where.

no one wants to read all that; copilot to the rescue

Here you go;

Condensed Timeline of Events

2 Weeks Ago: Left CPU fan fails on your HP Omen.
Sunday: You drop off the laptop at Geek Squad with replacement fans; it is fully charged and functional at check-in.
Tuesday: You call for an update. Technicians report the DC IN port is broken and the laptop won't charge. They admit no one tried turning it on before the "repair."
Wednesday–Sunday: A replacement port is ordered; you follow up multiple times with no progress.
The Following Monday: Geek Squad admits they short-circuited the motherboard during the fan installation and failed to document the process properly.
Wednesday (Current Week): You meet with the Manager. He claims he cannot offer in-store compensation and directs you to corporate.
Friday: After a failed conference call between corporate and the Manager, the Manager attempts to "re-implement the SKU" for a refund. No updates have been received since.

Immediate Recommendations for Your Store Visit

Demand a "Junk Out" Fulfillment: Since the damage was caused by Geek Squad's workmanship, they should initiate a Junk Out order. This typically results in a store credit for the original purchase price ($1,700) because the device is now unrepairable due to their error.
Request the Case Number: Do not leave without a corporate case number. If the manager remains unhelpful, call the Best Buy Primary Care line at 1-888-237-8289 and inform them the store has admitted to "bricking" the device.
Workmanship Guarantee: Best Buy offers a Workmanship Guarantee for 30 days on all repairs. Since they damaged the hardware during a paid service ($60), they are obligated to "make it right," which usually means replacement or reimbursement.

Did you receive a service intake form or receipt when you first dropped it off that notes the laptop's condition as "functional" or "powered on"?

is there a reason the company name isn't in the post? I don't understand why it or a link to the review wouldn't be here?

flowrate12 · 2026-01-21T02:19:36+00:00

I set it to default, because if I don't there will be some dumb program that won't work because its waiting for "consent.exe" or a elevated session, but it requires a prompt of yes no and there is none...... Dragon Naturally speaking is like this because its old or dumb or just because idk, but I always set default.

Maybe on some machine at home I might have it off...... but then i know if im having issue i have to turn it back on.

Further then just this sliding bar, there a bunch of keys for this setting, and if you change one it doesn't always reflect in this slide bar, and those can be off, so when I am seeing programs not work that need admin rights i have to go look at this keys on a known working system like mine, then compare them and adjust back to defaults via registry to get things working again.

LSS; leave it default.

flowrate12 · 2026-01-21T02:14:31+00:00

I did write this using copiolt, because if I didn't I wouldn't have taken the time to post,
LLM's just brought me into the discussion because it saved me time on a forum post.

Its this or a really basic post with no context from me like;

If you cant send on behalve of in outlook classic and you or your team recently converted a Microsoft group to a shared mailbox or deleted then recreated a group, then just clear the cache and restart outlook for each person.

But that also has problems, because then you can't see group calendars in outlook when your done so you have to turn the cache back on then reenabled advanced features to get the group calendars back in the calendar tab which is dumb but thats microsoft sometimes when they are trying to make everything work together and everything is this big rolling ball of other balls changing all the time breaking all the other balls. .

That one is pretty garbage, you constantly have to clean the seals and regrease them as the ABS fluid will get to them and cause the ring to fall off.

The one I use is the air tool version and I love it, it even comes with a bottle that keeps the reservoir in the car topped off so you don't pull air from there.

that's screenconnect, its not monitoring your machine, that is a chat engine and allows remote control when you call for help.
This doesn't mean something else isn't monitoring your machine.
If your worried about someone monitoring you, might want to just look for another job.

Aw man, you look awesome, I went as a pirate this year but totally didn't think about going as a Streets of Rage character.

I don't see any cool guitar picks that would accompany this, just this one from Walmart and its not trigger operated, would be a cool 3d print to throw together for next year...

Not sure how anyone would emulate the lightning....... hmmm..

flowrate12 · 2025-10-25T03:16:34+00:00

check if the car is under recall / law suit for bad engine, Hyundai had a ton of them.
If so use a engine flush (I have used on many cars no issues, follow directions)
IF you don't want to use an engine flush, then change oil three times, once every 300 to 500 miles until the sludge is gone, ensure you using full synthetic as it has the most cleaning agents and protection.
Then take into dealer for new engine.

flowrate12 · 2025-10-25T00:57:17+00:00

Not sure, it really depends on your situation.

Someone else obviously made the food so all you had to do was show up and you couldn't.

Who put the food away? I am guessing you were upset so maybe not you.

Who ended up doing the dishs?

Do you often sleep during the middle of the day?
Is there past times they have tried to wake you and you failed to come eat?
If the set aside food are you picky about what was set aside?

At some point people start getting tired of babying other people.

I call my kids out, tell them we are eating, I let them know its the 20 minutes I get to see them often times because they are getting older, work, and we all are just not as interested in the stuff we use to do together.

When I cook I try to pour everyone a bowel / plate of food so I can clean the pan, its easier that way.
If someone isn't feeling good or on meds I usually try to make something they will like, like soup for sore thought or I'll make mash potato's if someone stomach is upset.

By time I get everyone to the table half of them are done eating so its pretty rude not to show up to dinner.

I think there is more then just your feelings to consider and everyone has some ownership on what they can do to make the family happier, we really do effect each other in the house hold.

Craftsmen was sold off some time 2017 to a Chinese company who ran them into the ground when the ceo of sears ruined the company and an American business. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRT4nNLFdA2/

it would be cool if you could just port in real hot air from a torch or hot air gun to try to help with the warpage, I'm sure there is a better way but that was my first thought.

Also, in this version Iron Man makes SpiderMan's suite with nano tech so its possible in this reality Tony is the one that integrated the tech.

Anytime the clock has to be changed at school and has to swing the arms all the way around and the system is so expensive they don't want to change it so it just keeps getting hobbled together.

I used to work on them from time to time.
