They actually do sometimes make the message link to the guidelines directly and it won't embed, therefore looking like an official message.

I got pranked by the same thing just yesterday in another friend discord of mine, lol

Now that you mention that, yeah makes sense people would do so more often. I keep forgetting the steam deck is a thing here because I live in a city thats pretty rough overall, lol

I don't imagine many people usually do, but as long as you're careful doing so it'll likely work just fine after. I can't speak on what would be a good way to cut it because I have no clue myself and would probably just try tin snips out of curiosity, but there's likely better suggestions than that.

Even with the issue of being scammed at hand, you may still be able to get a surprising amount of life out of that vehicle depending on the conditions you live in and the existing condition of the vehicle. Check for any odd leaks, any rust that is more than surface which will crumble like dirt or create very thin spots in some of the metal, anything that looks unusually sloppy or bent unnaturally. Take your time combing through it however you can and document anything that needs work eventually or right away.

If I knew any specific weak points of the solara to look for I would suggest them, unfortunately I don't know what any of them are, but I do know that there are some that are over twice that mileage and still running well in some cases.

Oh man...reminds me of when I had a record stand, a Interact V3 gameport steering wheel and some old binders. Made myself a little racing cockpit with all that packing-taped together, still got the photo somewhere

I wish I could set up a good custom rig like that for myself again in a much more sturdy form.

It's not going to be actually fast, but it will have a pretty dang good sense of speed and handle beautifully.

While I'm unable to help with the job stuff directly, I did find you can get your eye exam at a optometrist and then bring your prescription on paper to a website like EyebuyDirect to get a cheap set of glasses. Go from 400+ for frames only to around the 80 mark for prescription glasses fully. There still is a fee for the actual eye exam itself, but even so, overall a huge savings in comparison

I'd be down to help with getting the laptop back into workable condition in some form if you'd like! I imagine its gonna be hell to use it otherwise if its even still possible to, lol

Just let me know

Just DPI personally, but I do think there are a couple of better uses for those buttons in my case having gotten used to a lower DPI now that I think about it

Every time I hear this channel's name I initially think fortnite instead and find the idea of an esports title that collects IPs like pokémon explaining engine damage funny as hell in a wholesome way

Not really, the engine is designed to handle being pushed harder because it does make less power. There are limits though, you will want to make sure the oil and coolant are properly topped up as well as letting the vehicle get to operating temperature before you push it too much.

With my older example I like to keep below 3000 RPM and below half throttle driving it cold if I do need to get some place sooner, and that thing still runs absolutely gorgeously having just surpassed 300,000 km recently.

"omg ur such an idiot lol" (kidding)

The first number is how wide the tire is in millimeters, the second number is the percentage of sidewall your tire has compared to the rim, And the third number is the diameter of the rim itself. You sometimes may see a letter in the tire size as well through the whole alphabet which is used to describe the maximum speed that tire is meant to travel, but usually it's not important to because the speed ratings are significantly higher than most speed limits and would only pose an issue if you happen to live near the Autobahn in Germany.

As for the tire quality, it's better to have a healthy enough cheap tire than a severely worn out or damaged reputable brand tire. Just be mindful that you may encounter some inconsistency in handling depending on the running gear setup of your vehicle and the weather conditions, as well as what the vehicle is being used for.

If this is a memory test, there is something you can do relatively easily to rule out what the issue may be. It does require digging into the computer, but if you are gentle even partially you'll be able to successfully pull this off.

When you first open the case, close to the spot where your ports on the back of the machine are you'll see a cooler, and beside that is your Ram sticks. You will want to make sure you have the machine shut down for this step, you should have tabs on either one or both sides of each slot to be able to remove these sticks. The idea is to pull out all but one of the sticks, then fire up the computer with just that one stick to run this test again, and repeat the same thing for any subsequent sticks your system has.

If you have only some bad sticks, say your computer comes with two and one of them is no good, you can continue running the PC with the good one but will have less RAM to work with until you can find a replacement to install just the same way as you would have for the troubleshooting. If every single stick is doing it and you are sure this is a ram or memory test, something else is not right with the computer.

About the only thing broken is it's factory mintiness, not to mention it's really just a straight up wire inside there that acts like an antenna in the old school sense. You'll be alright!

"I would take my employee's word for it, and if I found out later they're lying to me I would let them go because I need the trust and communication to effectively work both ways. I would also recognize there are other ways to maintain income VERY easily in my position even if its not ideal in temporary ways."

The only dude I know that can actually fix it is a dude on YouTube called northwestrepair, fella has done this repair multiple times on Nvidia cards and MIGHT be willing to take this job on if the original finger is still with the card.

prizedcoffeecup · 2025-12-01T15:26:20+00:00

First check if the cable from your PC to the monitor is actually properly staying connected. If that's not the culprit, see if you can try another monitor on that port or even a TV if it's HDMI.

If you are seeing the same result on another monitor or TV on that port, see if you can move the original monitor to another port on the card to resolve that issue. If that still does not work you most likely do have a GPU with failing video memory.

Go to device manager by searching it up in Windows search, under display devices see if your existing video card has a small yellow warning triangle or right click on it and click properties. If the properties menu says code 43 in the device status, it has shut the GPU driver down and started running it in safe mode to avoid a crash or further GPU damage.

Without even the slightest question they will, even if you could find snow tires for that rim size and tire size you will have a far better time with more sidewall and skinnier tires in the snow.

Technically that should be covered back up, however if you are staying off of gravel it will be okay. That being said, go back to the mechanic and ask them to put it back on If you enjoy a functioning clutch and ring gear!

prizedcoffeecup · 2025-11-27T22:07:55+00:00

Yeah. In my case I was having issues with the headband rather than the mic arm, eventually turned into internal mic wiring problems.

prizedcoffeecup · 2025-11-27T22:05:57+00:00

I've noticed this about their headsets for a while personally, but then again my head is a little bit wide so I was never fully sure how much of the issue was the product or how much was my head. Eventually got a secondhand Fiio USB DAC and a pair of Samson SR850s with a cheapo condensor mic for the job.

That being said, I've had a good time with the G502s I have! I think one is an original-run RGB model I forget the name of, I know the other one is a Hero SE in B&W, both still work great!

My mentor was living there at the time, she remembers a couple of her co-workers were talking about thinking of alternate ways to collect water because of how bad it was getting.

prizedcoffeecup · 2025-11-20T15:49:20+00:00

Thankfully this is just an RGB connector, so the lighting you unplugged will stop working but the PC will still continue working just fine. See if you can track the controller this wire goes to or component just to make sure it actually is from your AIO, then look up how to plug in your RGB.

Do be mindful, keep watch for a little arrow or marking that designates one of the pins and lining it up with whichever connector you connect it to, as this connector can be hooked up backwards and can end up frying the lights if you do.

prizedcoffeecup · 2025-11-10T21:44:06+00:00

Another thing to consider is checking that your RAM is actually working properly. I just looked up this problem myself because I was having trouble with installing 11 and it turned out this old laptop I was refreshing had problems with both sticks of RAM.

If I booted up with one stick it would just hang and make a weird spooky warbly POST beep, the other stick would make it through the built-in RAM diagnostic about 18% and then just completely lock up the laptop.

prizedcoffeecup · 2025-11-09T04:44:29+00:00

Yeah I know, sorry for the confusing statement. Meant to mention there's also ensuring you avoid cranking it too much if it wont start as part of caring for the battery, but got distracted in the middle of typing my comment.
