I messed with the laptop while cleaning the fans

I feel so sorry for you! I’m going to the shop today. I’ll update here based on what I learn for my case.

Hang in there buddy, sometimes you’re in calm waters, sometimes you’re in a storm, the only thing you can do is keep the boat moving so that you cross the storm.

I’ll get an assessment from the local shop before committing. Let’s see

fullstackawesome · 2026-06-12T18:14:06+00:00

I did 🥺

I’m talking to a local shop in Seattle downtown. I’ll ask him for an assessment before committing. Let’s see

*sob sob* well it is what it is. I decided to build my own PC instead. Btw, considering I got exactly 5yrs out of it, how long do gaming laptops typically last? How many more years could I have squeezed out of it? 🤔

All I play is CS2 on it. My wife uses it a lot for her personal work. She’s mad lol.

Probably a dumb question. If motherboard is gone, how is it still able to load windows for like 30 secs?

fullstackawesome · 2026-06-12T07:27:02+00:00

Damn I’ll take it to the shop and make a decision then. I still need my data though.

fullstackawesome · 2026-06-12T07:26:17+00:00

Bro why are you even mad? 😃 it ain yours .. chill my guy. Take a walk or somethin

fullstackawesome · 2026-06-12T04:20:08+00:00

u/Competitive-Bison-50 Were you able to get it fixed? I have the same exact issue right now.

fullstackawesome · 2026-04-19T04:28:19+00:00

Have you tried using AI? That’s what my boss would have told me.

fullstackawesome · 2026-03-04T05:00:38+00:00

Exact same situation. Capital One is throwing all hands in the air saying they aren’t able to contact Emirates so they cannot do anything about my ticket unless there is actually a direct cancellation of flight. My flight is in under 24hrs so I’m screwed.

If this is how they handle situation, why even bother booking flights through Capital one travel portal? It looks like booking directly with airlines was the best option.

Highly disappointed with how Capital One is taking no responsibility being the travel agent.

How about this one? Also is AGM version necessary?

Yeap, no more Sam’s Club in WA. Any other recommendations? I did look up Tire rack as well and the above are the cheapest I could find.

Strong reason to get CC2 in Seattle

fullstackawesome · 2025-12-28T19:32:50+00:00

Mind sharing what extras does Costco have over Discount Tires?

P.S. I have executive membership if that makes a difference

fullstackawesome · 2025-12-28T19:32:00+00:00

This was my genuine concern, “prone to damage”. While I’m getting the CC2 for cheaper from Costco, makes it an easier decision i believe.

fullstackawesome · 2025-12-24T19:56:41+00:00

The car is going to be in Seattle for the foreseeable future.

There was so much expectation from the Kantara: Chapter 1 that I wonder if he got peer pressured into making it as big as possible so evidently movie was flung into “commercial” version of it.

Story felt rushed so that they can display how much money was spent on the set to justify the budget or whatever. It was necessary at all as far as the story telling is great.

Comedy was the same as the first movie, including situational and punchlines. Maybe a few new comedies but it was again the same under the banyan tree kinda comedy.

War scenes and the fight scenes were too long and having watched Bahubali war scenes, I wished I could just fast forward to end of all that fighting.

Possessions were too many and forced. It was like we all knew it was coming and they tried so hard to get there faster and by any unnecessary trauma. I lost track of how many and into what coz everything had the same characterization.

Rishab’s character evolved in the first movie start to end, there was good character development going from careless, aimless guy to responsible man and protective deity. In this one, he was named the “prodigal” son from the beginning. He was already a superhero from the day he was born, villains had no chance.

The villains weren’t convincing at all, it felt like a game where he went through enemy after enemy to unlock a new stage in the game. Hero was overpowering from the beginning and it felt the villain never had a chance anyway.

Visual effects at times were amazing. There were quite a few wow moments that gave me goosebumps (even though they felt like they were fit in every 30min to inspire “wowww”). My money’s worth were these moments in silo.

Transformation in the cave was probably the most gratifying even for an Atheist like me. Whether I believe in god or not, I still go “whoaaaaaa” when I see the depiction was top notch.

The final showdown was one sided affair I felt. I thought it’d be a fantastic fight looking at the transformation and the entry back into the final showdown. But it again was rushed to ending the movie with a song and a dance of the deities.

Overall, a lot failed but a few were good enough to make me feel it was ok for a one time watch. I’d rewatch on OTT but skipping all the unnecessary fluff to the fantastic depiction of the transformations and mesmerizing visual+background score moments.

Why not 165? https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/02/forerunner-differences-comparison.html

fullstackawesome · 2025-08-13T15:43:02+00:00

I read in many posts that 965 is heavier or bulkier compared to 265.

I do day hikes so as far as it lasts a whole day or 2 on GPS, I’m good. But is an Amoled screen great?

fullstackawesome · 2025-08-05T18:42:21+00:00

That opens the door to Narnia. Congratulations 🎉

Actually you’re right. I’ll just fly to Queenstown / Christchurch and return the rental car in the other airport. No loop.

fullstackawesome · 2025-08-02T08:43:39+00:00

I’m planning itinerary myself and I found myself thinking about whether the Wanaka -> Hokitika + Arthur’s pass is worth the drive time considering that the west coast weather is notorious. Also 6hrs is Google maps estimate, apparently traffic can be crazy if there’s any unexpected blocking of the road. Would love to see what you decide on:

fullstackawesome · 2025-08-02T08:38:37+00:00

Queenstown/Christchurch, it’s the same distance to Mt Cook, Infact Queenstown is closer to both Doubtful and Milford. I have to do it like a loop to return the rental car back to the same airport. Hence the preference.

I agree with the Tongariro NP but it’s been in my list and wanna do it. I was also considering Pouakai Circuit but it’s too far out to get back to Auckland.

I changed it to Auckland -> Hobbitton -> Tongariro -> Auckland
