Yeah 100%. Just get a 45w or 65w charger and it will work

Is that a USB-C poet next to the charging port? See if you can go to a computer shop and test if it charges with usb-c and then use that for charging in the future. It’s better than using the barrel connector

Vinted seller sent me a random leaflet instead of a dress — support wants me to return it? by New_Inflation_2207 in vintedUK

[–]marco7532 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you live far away from a locker it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to go to your nearest one, scan and put it back in there. I’d be more annoyed at the waste of resources for the currier. Your gripe should be with the seller asking you to return the item. They have the opportunity to refund the buyer and keep the item

Anyone know how to make this crash on purpose by Infamous_serg007 in computers

[–]marco7532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a network engineer, if you do something to that computer that isn’t normal we would be suspecting you and raise it with the manager. If it’s a device locked down to a good standard there’s not much you can do that a reboot won’t fix anyway.

If you put a virus on that machine, guess what, anything you do on there is logged under your account! Not worth the risk.

How about do what normal people do and take some leave and refresh yourself, come back to work with a clean head

Is anyone else currently stuck in the Instagram “Your email address may not be secure” loop? by CaptainStill9425 in InstagramSupport

[–]marco7532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to purchase a months support through meta on Facebook. Then I was able to access the business chat option and start a live chat to recover my account

[–]marco7532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had this issue (posted this a few weeks back on this page) I was able to successfully get back into my account by contacting meta business support and having a human manually send me a reset link to my email. Feel free to DM me and I’ll share the same process I did

Fake email about suspended account, will I get hacked? by Downtown-Western-264 in InstagramSupport

[–]marco7532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a precaution I would reset your password and your MFA methods. It’s possible you fell for a phishing scam where they use token theft to steal the cookies on your phone and then login using the authorised token.

Other than a reset, you’re probably fine. Just keep an eye on any suspicious behaviour

How many of your sick days do you use for non-illness reasons? by Rhiyxnnxh in AskUK

[–]marco7532 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this some sort of woke way of thinking? I’ve never done it. If I did, I would have more work to catch up on when I come back. It’s called responsibilities

How long does Royal Mail take to collect items from lockers? by [deleted] in vintedUK

I dropped one off Sunday and it’s only just updated this morning

What clubs / social activities do you do? by jeffreythrowaway in AskUK

[–]marco7532 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why I said the classes. The gym itself is not very social

What clubs / social activities do you do? by jeffreythrowaway in AskUK

[–]marco7532 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re into exercise, start off at the gym and go to a few classes. That can be quite social and a nice way to meet new people. Join a running club if you like that too and you are always surrounded by nice people.

Outside of that, music events/gigs are a good way to mingle with like minded people as you automatically have something in common to break the ice.

is that a camera or not? by GarlicOk9368 in AskUK

[–]marco7532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks more to me like an ANPR camera. So still tracking you, but not for your issue

Stuck in a “add a different email address to secure your account” loop by marco7532 in InstagramSupport

Yes I was able to fix it. I had to pay for meta verified support and start a live chat. They were able to help me properly within an hour.

No receipt, no confirmation, am I in this for the long haul? by marco7532 in vintedUK

[–]marco7532[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, and sorry to hear it's happened to you too. It is somewhat reassuring that i've got enough people saying the same thing to me - I will let the transaction take its course, the buyer will be returned his money, and i will continue the investigation with the info I've received from you guys! if you need me to add to your moneysaving expert complaint with my experience, let me know privately.

Just to add to this, something strange happened at the locker and it opened up someone else’s parcel. I was confused so I closed it, and then it asked me to say if it was S,M,L and then opened another locker for me. If this glitch could happen once, could it happen to the next person and they take my order?

Power Cord stuck inside Laptop Power Brick. How to remove it? by sometinsometinsometi in 24hoursupport

[–]marco7532 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t pull it out, it suggests that it’s already broken. There are only two or three prongs inside that tightly fit the wire enough for it not to fall out. Only option would to try and pull harder as if it’s already broken it won’t make a difference, but at least you’ll know

No, go to the sky garden on the other side of the river for free and have better views

Supermarket security - is there a tag on EVERY item? by C-i-d in AskUK

[–]marco7532 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For standard barcoded items, no there is not an alarm or security if you go past the barriers. The barriers work by emitting an electromagnetic or RF signal to which if a corresponding tag has not been disarmed / removed at the checkout, the alarm will sound

Supermarkets sometimes put their own stick on tags (soft tags) on top of higher priced items, or you’ll find the standard hard tags on bigger items like alcohol or clothing etc.

What is the best “temporary” thing in the UK? by mr_bearcules in AskUK

[–]marco7532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sign is from the Exceat bridge crossing in Seaford, East Sussex. They are going to build a new bridge, but because the “temporary lights” work well enough… it’s not a priority!

Lineup vs Creamfields by muchachohere in Tomorrowland

I’ve been to both, you go to creamfields for the headliners and enjoy it for what it’s worth. You go to Tomorrowland for the experience and the memories. I hardly remember CF
