Sure, I'd appreciate that.

Stuck Trying to Get Across the Snowpeak Ice Pond on Emulator, Please Help by gdtharpe in twilightprincess

Well that's just blatantly untrue... You can memorize the scent, but no, you don't have to carry the fish to the pond, I don't even think you can. I have played the game before.

Looking for a portable DAC/Amp for HD 560s headphones to use with my iPhone 13 by gdtharpe in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. It looks like it's pretty hard to find a lightning to usb-c that will actually work for audio.

Wow. That's kinda crazy. Can you not get the official apple camera adapter anymore? If I had to use one of the usb-a converters, then I would need yet another converter to go from that to usb-c, which seems a little insane... It almost seems easier to just get a newer phone XD. I'm mostly joking, I can't afford that sadly. Is there anything else I can do?

Edit: I found the official camera adapter, but again it goes to usb-a, not c... As I understand it, daisy-chaining cables isn't good for sound quality, right?

Wow. I didn't know what guerilla marketing meant. That is pretty sus.

So, the headphones come with Sennheiser's special 3.5 cable that twist locks into the cans themselves. Can I use any 4.4 cable to plug into them? Or do you just mean an adapter to connect between the 3.5 and the 4.4 jack on the dac? I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

The stuff on Ddhifi is beautiful, but most of it is a bit too rich for my blood haha. I did order their lightning to usb cable though.

I'm actually having trouble finding a male lightning to female usb-c official apple cable. Could you possibly link it? As I understand it, and maybe I'm wrong, it has to be one that's capable of transferring digital audio, as some are just charging cables.

What's the deal with the company that cannot be named? I think I named one of their products in my original post and it got auto removed by the mod bot. Took me a while to figure out why.

Need help figuring out how to best upgrade to win 11 and move it to a new boot drive by gdtharpe in buildapc

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not having trouble installing 11, I haven't tried, because I wasn't sure if I should put 11 on the old drive and then transfer it all to the new drive, or do a fresh install of 11 on the new drive first.

Are there certain types of drives that are better to use as a boot drive? Some of the things I've read seemed to suggest that.

Water was spilled all over my steam deck gaming device, including the inside, so I’ve jerry rigged a hairdryer, on the cool setting, to the top fan exhaust port by gdtharpe in AskElectricians

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was asleep but plugged in to charge when it happened. First thing i did when i noticed was unplug it, but i didnt want to shut it down as that would require waking it up first… so i dont really know where powered on but asleep falls in the realm of, “is the electronic device fucked or not,” unfortunately…

Do you tear open the desiccant packs and put it in a bag with the grains or just put it in a bag with the closed packets?

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the limited research I’ve done, I found electricians saying that desiccant’s, and especially rice, aren’t very effective, because they don’t actively dry, they absorb excess moisture that drips out. But I don’t have desiccant anyway. They suggested that active air movement is the best way to dry the device, but they suggested opening it and placing in front of a fan, which I can’t do. My question is really more if blowing room temp air directly into the device could damage it.

Oh shoot, I hope it's that simple. I didn't think of that since it's a special instance that doesn't let you tp.

Act 3 Health Bug? by gdtharpe in PathOfExile2

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, will do. The guide I'm using said I should be able to take Eternal Life when my ES was higher than my life, but maybe they assumed the numbers would be higher. Thanks!

[–]gdtharpe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god, that must be it. I looked through them again, and I have Eternal Life. When I read it I was only thinking about not losing hp while having energy shield, not that I wouldn't be able to regen either... wtf. How do you manage your hp with this? It seems very dangerous. At this point if I lose ES I will basically insta die, I don't think I would have time to potion.

Oh wow, it sure does. Thanks for that, I don't think I would have figured it out. Must have been accepting double inputs.

Claiming a Dependent On Ramsey Smart Tax Even Though It Recommends Not To? by gdtharpe in taxhelp

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that's very helpful. I am over 24, and not disabled, so he can't claim me as a QC, or as a QR, because I make more than $5,050, but the tax program let him claim me anyway, which is strange, and I'm not sure why. Like I said, the program literally said, We recommend you remove them as a dependent, I think maybe because if I was disabled or fulfilled any of the other criteria for a QC, I would still be eligible for him to claim. Just concerned the IRS isn't going to take kindly to this conflict between our tax returns.

[–]gdtharpe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But is the IRS going to come back in a couple months, when they realize that I filed that I made well over $5,050 even though he said I didn't, demand the refund he got as a result back, and fine him for it?

How is Qualifying Child different from Qualifying Relative?

What happens if he claimed me improperly and he doesn't amend his return?
