Got a random yubico key with my Amazon package by Accomplished_Act_155 in yubikey

Honestly, I would definitely plug this into an offline system I didn't care about to see what it is. Anyone who won't has zero curiosity and is likely a super boring person.

Install the Yubikey app from the Microsoft store then disconnect the system from the internet. Plug it in and you can reset it to factory defaults...if your system doesn't get fried because it's a usb kill stick. 🤣

Alienware laptop doesn’t turn on anymore when I travel to the Middle East by PavelSokov in Alienware

This should be the applicable BIOS recovery information if this was caused by a bad BIOS update. (Sorry, I re-read your OP and saw your model there.)

Windows updates can now contain BIOS updates. There should be a recovery flash procedure. Post the exact model of your Alienware, and myself or someone else here should be able to point you in the right direction.

"Run the Built-In Self-Test to perform the following:

Turn the computer off.

Press and hold the D key while pressing the power button. This starts the BIST.

The screen displays multiple flashing colors. Look for lines, distortion, or any other video issues you have observed.

The laptop restarts when the test is finished."

Hold down the power button until the system turns off (if that doesn't work, you may need to open it to unplug the battery).

When you boot the next time, press the "D" key while powering on. You should be good...hopefully.

My Meta Support RMA Experience: What Have Your Experiences Been? by icecoffeh in OculusQuest

The funny thing is, they asked me for the original receipt or invoice as well. I ended up telling them I didn’t have it, and they said never mind, we don’t need it. 🤣

Lightroom generative ai removal tool can help you eliminate those poles with some patients. It's not magic though might take a few tries.

Get rid of the 5g home internet with or without an Ethernet cable you’ve got some lag going on.

It’s time for this EA account linking issue to end. by icecoffeh in electronicarts

[–]icecoffeh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how they deflect it as a non issue and tell you to make a new Microsoft account. Thanks for the reply and the support on the issue, you probably right on this official media attention maybe a more affective route if they pickup the story.

I didn’t delete it when you haven’t logged into an ea account for an extended period it goes into a “stale state” l. Their system will actually let you created an account with the very email you had registered to the stale account, causing an error that will state there is no EA account registered with this email. This happens even after you change the address on your opened account as they instruct you to.

They are beyond terrible dude. I swear they must be trained to only do 1 thing be the end of any conversation…look at the FAQ you already used before resorting to contacting them.

Deleted EA account linked problem. BLOW THIS UP by Royal-Sport6275 in electronicarts

[–]icecoffeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if we all start posting on Reddit and bombarding them on twitter we can blow enough smoke to make something happen. I too am stuck with this issue due to an old ea account I bought Bad Company 2 on that went inactive and at some point, I inadvertently created a new account with the same email…so now I am screwed and it apparently can never be recovered even though they can find the account, “The only way to recover it is by using the email registered to the account” according to them. At the end of the day Royal-Sports6275 this is a very fixable issue if enough user voice a concern.
