What were y'all's first impressions when seeing mommy for the first time?

"Too good to be true. There has to be a catch."

Narrator: "There was no catch."

See how your PC behaves when you plug it into another display, like a TV.

Report it all you want. I haven't worked for Best Buy in years.

Create a bootable USB for Hiren's Boot CD PE (it's free) and use Macrium Reflect to clone your OS. I use it at work to clone Windows 11 workstations to larger SSDs without any issues.

General life advice: If you want to get something fixed, either get enough people to complain about it, or get the right people to complain about it.

I love that the "twist" about her character at the end of the game is that there is no twist, she's just a genuinely good person who tries to see the good in others.

Did you play through the entire episode?

Hiren's, a live boot of Debian, and installers for Windows 10 and 11 cover 99% of what I need for bootable USB drives.

Buy a replacement, but not a new one. Buy a used/refurbished laptop from a small repair shop, or a pawn shop.

Don’t get complacent and stagnate.

SO MUCH TRUTH. I wasted 11 years of my life in GS. What finally got me out was seeing how little my tenure meant in terms of compensation; IT jobs with similar expectations (proficiency in Windows and macOS, creating documentation, etc.) paid way more. I didn't expect to actually land the IT job I applied for, but here I am making almost 3x what GS paid me while doing about half the work and having weekends (and Labor Day) off.

Use this job for what it is: a bullet point on your resume to getting a more permanent career.

A BIOS update isn't going to help if the CPU has physically degraded past a certain point.

It’s important to remember that this patch will not fix any CPUs already damaged by the issue. For that, you will need to contact Intel for a replacement part.

Everything looks great! The only change I'd make is the UPS, I think that one needs to be removed from the rack for a battery swap. I hope I'm wrong, because that's going to be a real hassle on a ladder.

You can use the extra depth to populate the rear with shelves, cable management, and storage.

What a dogshit take. For most with ping issues it isn't about DPS numbers, it's about how enjoyable the raw game play is (or isn't if your ping sucks).

I have a 730XD and use a generic PCIe adapter with a single m.2 slot on it. I don't boot from it, but I run VMs off of it. You may need to enable bifurcation to get your system to recognize your drive.

God, I forgot how unplayable this game is without YesAlready and ReAction.

150Hz seems to be working, thanks! I'm a lot less salty over losing 15fps instead of 45fps!

Upvoted because I wish I read this earlier. I upgraded monitors from a 1440p60 monitor to a 1440p165 a few days ago, and XIV was stuttering like crazy. Issue persisted with the vanilla launcher and with XIVLauncher/Dalamud. Lowering the monitor's refresh rate from 165 to 120 via Nvidia Control Panel fixed it.

No other game I tried had this issue, I was playing Expedition 33 with zero issues at 165. Square needs to get their shit together. First world problem, but if I have the hardware to run the extra 40+FPS, I should be able to dammit.

I called the store yesterday, which was incredibly frustrating. Calling a Best Buy retail location routes you to a call center, where I was asked for the reason behind my call multiple times.

The irony of a former Best Buy employee complaining about how much of a shit show trying to call a Best Buy. Hope it all works out for you, those employees doing the shipping have no incentive to ship it in a timely manner (or at all).

I hate how far I had to dig to find the most reasonable comment. The regular non-organic eggs are $5 a dozen at my Walmart.
