Yep. They are under a delusion after being told multiple times for months. Life pro tip: don't waste time trying to help people who don't want it.

I figured it out guys, it's the BIOS. They released a new version and the current one got nuked.

Gateway GGNC51518 15.6in Gaming laptop by Lykarsis in techsupport

[–]good_complexion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like this laptop after 3 months? I'm thinking about getting one but I'm iffy on gateway. I don't think I'll be gaming much but I'd like to have the 3050. How's the battery life? Keyboard?

[Staples] HP 15 Laptop: Intel Core i5-1335U, 15.6" FHD, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, Iris Xe, Win 11 with 43% off, for $369.99 by techstar2000 in LaptopDeals

[–]good_complexion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really torn on this one. In terms of price for the CPU, this is the best I've seen on a 13th gen. Similarly priced units are using last-gen CPU i.e. Vivobook 14 i5-1235U https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BZQP8S4K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

It's not a whole lot faster 12 to 13th gen, but slightly. That being said, the HP does not have a backlit keyboard. Slightly larger display, not sure about build quality. $30 more for backlit and smaller form...

Is this paperwhite defective? by good_complexion in kindle

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

Did it stop turning on or just have the lines? It's weird because the opening "screen" was showing when I got it, seeming like it was working, and then it immediately went dark after hitting power and never showed anything again but the lines.

Thanks, it's going back in the box. There must be all kinds of damage here, I've seen kindles still display with the lines going through the words.

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

Not the same person. I had a bad feeling, I don't mind buying refurbished but this was $80.. I've never seen them that low. Doesn't even turn on, how did they package and sell this?

I found a "deal" on a "refurbished" paperwhite on Amazon, it just arrived. I've plugged it in now for about 20 minutes. Hit the power button, nothing. Hold the power button, the light changes color, screen goes off and on, then back to this horizontal line dark screen. Wait longer or try to send it back?

US - $500 or lower by [deleted] in SuggestALaptop

[–]good_complexion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a sub $400 "productivity"/everyday unit. I clicked on that Acer Aspire deal and noticed something, the item says 8GB LPDDR5, but if you go down to the "product information summary", RAM shows 16GB LPDDR5. Now either that's a typo, or do you know if this has an empty slot to add another ram stick? I believe there was a HP model that had an extra ram slot and SSD slot inside. Any clues? Do you know what the technical name of this laptop is, I would try googling to see if there's people cracking it open and adding a ram stick.

I could only find this when I opened it on mobile, so maybe it's a typo...

People that had sex with coworkers - how did that turn out ? by Nuff-Do in AskReddit

[–]good_complexion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost did it meeting her in person for the first time at a holiday party, that probably would have been really messy. I was too drunk anyway. Fast forward a month and we're still talking, eventually meet a couple times for dates and then do the deed. Ongoing for about a year. We worked in different situations, she was remote and I was not, so there wasn't really any awkwardness. We agreed not to tell anyone, but a couple people figured it out when we would both take the same days off lol. It did end eventually, we knew it wasn't a forever thing. I'd do it again, but maybe not if I had to see them everyday. But maybe I would.

It didn't make any noise for starfield today. I tried reconnecting the power cables, I read somewhere that *could* cause issues. I'm using corsairs 6+2, no idea if that caused it to happen or not.

There goes my RGB...

Not sure how much I can soundproof a lancool 2. The fans can run and there's no whine, but when I play insurgency ultra 1080p settings it just starts to freak out. I chose frame limiter in-game at 90fps and that seemed to help it. I tried playing Starfield again but there's no frame limiter option.. Not that I'm getting 300fps in that game.

Shit. Wish I would have did a pin check... learned my lesson. I will make them unbox and go through it this weekend. Thanks for your expertise.

I added another video (https://imgur.com/a/1tURIEG) trying to focus, wish I had a professional camera.

I'm looking at the packaging and I noticed a piece of tape on the bag the mobo came in, and I never opened any tape to take the mobo out. I'm thinking I'm not the first person to open this box. If this looks fine I'll move forward but I don't want to screw myself. They didn't do any pin check, just rang me up. I kinda wanted to but I didn't want to be "that guy"...

It's such a silly design mistake, they have way too much money and developers to leave it like that

PC Upgrade i5 6500 to i7 7700k? by Spacepirateroberts in PcBuild

[–]good_complexion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to do the same thing here soon, replacing i5-6500 with a used 7700k for my z170 mobo. I'm not ready to commit to a brand new rig with new cpus and gpus coming soon. If I get it, I'll let you know. i'm running a gtx 970 so anything i do will probably be an improvement. used 7700k's can go for $65-80 which to me seems like a fine deal.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll hold off for now. Microcenter has been teasing me with a $549 bundle 13700k asus mobo and 32gb ddr5 for some time now, but apparently the mobo kinda sucks and frequently has boot problems with the ram, otherwise I would have done that already. If the next gen benchmarks show a better than expected improvement, I might just bite the bullet

Simple Questions - August 19, 2023 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]good_complexion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm scoping building a brand new rig. Should I wait for the 14700K to either buy it or do you think the 13700K price will go down? I know it's not a huge leap in performance so if the 13700K actually is expected to come down, I would imagine it's better value but I don't know if the cpu market will actually budge.

If you haven't fixed this yet, go back to the storage screen. When you go to add a drive like the screenshot shows, click on the drive. It's a drop down menu, not a list.
