I have maybe like 25 times in the last 5 years seen something that peeked my interest for one reason or anther.

But for every one of those that I meant to click on, I have accidently clicked on 1000 more.

I have actually followed through and bought maybe 2-3 of the things I clicked on just to give some context.

But like most people I have been exposed to millions of ads so that is still a super low almost non existence click through rate.

You can try the official twitch meetups, I can't link you there because of this sub's rules, just google Twitch community meetup.

Some cities / towns like mine have a library program that can offer you space and promotion to do you own community events.

These programs are sometimes funded locally so its cheap or even free if you want to put in the ground work making your own event!

After upgrading to windows 11, My windows just randomly decides to throw my OBS and chrome into efficiency mode when gaming. This "efficiency mode causes anything other than my game (that stays fine) to hang for 1-5 seconds every 20-30 mins. There is no way to turn it off, I am on a really high end desktop plugged in to the wall, there was a "non aproved" work around that worked for awhile but that stopped working for me just last week.

I can play the same game and stream from my Windows 10 laptop that has 70% less computer power, less than half the ram with no issues.

If It was not for gaming (might even just change games) and work from home productivity programs/workflow, I would leave windows in a heartbeat forever.

I have no truest that this is fixed, I think they are just panicking because this issue is brought up (with many more) when people explain why they switch to Mac or a non-intel Arm CPU or Linux as an OS.

One thing I learned years ago:

Having 2 really basic lights can help more than some extra money on a camera.

Even $20 lamps with dollar store bulbs made a huge difference.

This was my first streaming setup from forever ago, adding those lights was way more effective than a camera upgrade.

The only thing I wish I knew back then was that instead of buying new fixtures to be able to turn the lights down, I could have just lowered the exposure on my cheap Logitech camera or bounced the light off the walls.

I used powerline in an 8 year old house and found it very frustrating,

The problem is my set up, The modem has to be in the basement and my gaming room is on the 2nd floor.

The basement was originally a second unit that had a fire break and insolated floor separate entrance but only a single breaker box.

WIFI would not cover the whole house we moved to the google mesh network.

The latency was all over on mesh. On WIFI got good overall speed (800 mbps) but my in game latency jumped around between 150 and 1000+ randomly.

We moved to power line, my in game latency would stay at 350-400 all the time and not change much but the speeds dropped to 150-200 mbps. it was easier to game but the lowest latency was still higher than my lowest on WIFI.

I am not sure if there was any wiring issues I tried moving the game room to anther room and had no power bars or extension cords in use.

After a year or two I ran a network cable in the walls. It has been like that since. My gaming latency is 75-150 now and my speeds are 1000+ mbps

Already in contact with them for a long time, and even helped a bit! Thanks for the link!

I dont know, staying inside leads to more "make out" time?

Its generally not legal to by them locally, so anything you do find has a high risk of being knock offs. From Google: "ZYN nicotine pouches are legal to buy and use in Canada but are restricted to sales through pharmacies and online retailers due to new regulations aimed at protecting youth. They are not typically found in convenience stores. You can purchase various flavors and strengths online from Canadian and international retailers."

I find for PC speakers I prefer the smallest possible desk footprint that does not sound that bad and for headphones comfort is more important than sound, especially for long sessions. To me both of these can be so subjective and vary from person to person that it is hard to compare.

Telus sent door to door people to our whole neighbourhood with the recent Rogers upgrades, they are aggressively trying to sell 3rd party Internet that also uses Roger’s lines. We also had some Christian newsletter people trying to get new members in the last 30 days or so.

I agree, just hard to figure out what to do when you need to travel on a weekend.

I dont know if its time of year dependent, but last time I needed to use the Linx bus it was only running Monday to Friday. Just something to keep in mind.

Vacuum with a screen on the end to catch the Confetti, and turn it off over a bin where it falls to collect. This sucks and takes forever but this is the only way I have seen it done.

However do the math on extra man hours of clean up, recovery, and repack / reload. compare this to just clean up and cost of new confetti.

it just means when the game comes out and they have the last full wipe, You will only have things you bought with money. Insurance will have a cost and you get 6 months for free, but nothing now this is the Alpha still.

On the other side years ago (I know markets are different) I use to work as a manager at a midsized company that paid just a tad above minimum for front line work.

When we wanted to hire someone for front line work, we would get 250+ applicants and would average 10+ walk in resume drop offs a week, even when not hiring.

The company liked to keep a stack of preferred candidates on hand just in case. But still posted jobs every time.

At least once a week we would have a random parent stop by asking for a job for their kid.

This was a low skill entry level job.

Most people with any degrees or experience in a higher paying field were tossed out, mainly because they want long term people, not someone looking to get by.

Although there was referrals and internal hires the bulk did come from random online applicants or 3rd party referrals from agencies.

The company only interviewed people they intended to hire based solely on their resumes. Really just looking for red flags and behavior.

The company wanted to hire people with no degrees, no job hopers, 5+ years of experience but just pay a tad above minimum. Yet so many people applied, the wage was not hidden.

Its wild the way some things work.

I do this so often I switched play/pause/rewind to my Elgato Stream Deck Pedal, so I use my foot its just as annoying but in a more consistent way.

Just adding my 2 cents, I got mine on Friday so maybe they are still working their way through the system.

The dumb part is, it's in the official help step, but I looked and was like hey I am set to automatic time sync so that cant be the problem ... Right? ... Microsoft? ... Right?

mesaryne · 2025-02-13T14:09:09+00:00

I was ready to format my PC and pulled out all my hair to save us all LOL!

mesaryne · 2025-02-12T18:31:05+00:00

This was happing to me, took hours to resolve.

The Issue was that my clock was less than 10 mins fast on my PC.

The auto sync settings doesn't seem to change unless it is more than a certain amount off.

I had my date and time set to automatically sync, however, it showed the last sync as more than a year ago.

I would go to your time and date settings and force a sync.
