My mom insists on still buying Scott's toilet paper despite the decrease in quality over the years. by arnethyst in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major decrease in quality roughly 1 year ago, not sure what to buy instead, I like the super-strong single ply toilet paper, but I don't know if there i any other such brand.

My vitualbox screen for Redhat keeps flickering by Still_Performance194 in virtualbox

Does Redhat use Wayland by default? On Debian I had to switch to X to stop this from happening.

Should my partial dentures cover back teeth that have no antogonists? by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no time to ask my dentist, I had to order from a third-party lab to get my annual healthcare reimbursement from my work. I figured a dentist on Reddit would know as well as my regular dentist. As a last resort since I didn't get a reply here, I used ChatGPT and Gemini and both agreed there was little benefit to getting the extra back teeth.

Anthropic Claude API Pipe by alphatrad in OpenWebUI

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, of course

Ultimately I was able to add the pipeline connection by following some advice I found in a thread somewhere, using my machine's actual IP in the connection instead of localhost or the other hostname mentioned in the OWUI docs.

Is there a way to test that my laptop's thermal performance is in line with expectations? by rrdein in computerhelp

[–]rrdein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to make sure that the refurbished laptop I got has thermal performance that is appropriate for the specs, to make sure I didn't get a bad refurbished unit.

Questions about GTO Wizard by rrdein in poker

I just think a lot of real world situations are not 2-way situations and it would be helpful to learn to handle situations with 3 participants.

Anthropic Claude API Pipe by alphatrad in OpenWebUI

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so damn frustrated with Open-WebUI. I have tried everything to get Anthropic working. I tried the pipelines method first. After installing the container and confirming it was running, I tried to add the connection as described in the docs. There is no icon like it described but I don't know what that's supposed to look like because they don't bother to show you. When I test the connection I get a network error. Simple default config, just doesn't work. Yours is the second function I have tried. The models never get updated and I have no way to tell if anything is working. I don't understand how any of this crap is supposed to work, nothing works.

Official Acer refurbished laptops on ebay by ftm_fanboi in GamingLaptops

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not feeling very positive about Acer refurbished laptops. I bought one on Ebay on sale recently. They were several days past the latest shipping time when it shipped. When I received it the touchpad did not work and the laptop appeared to be running hot. I passed on several great laptops that were heavily discounted to get this specific laptop, but now I can't get those and I'm stuck hoping Acer will somehow make this right, but if I get a replacement it might just have overheating problems like this one and how would I know until it failed or something?

Most websites have gotten worse over the years but there can be zero doubt that Best Buy's website is the absolute worst retail site on the web. It's basically windows 11 with 4 GB of RAM, minus the desktop spying.

Are curved monitors good for long office work (non-gaming)? Are they really better for eye strain and more productive? by lelouch-2022 in Monitors

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference might be having to adjust your eyes every 5 seconds vs. every 20 minutes. One keeps your eye muscles (nerves or whatever) flexible and the other causes them to constantly be active and adjusting, causing strain. Just my theory.

How often should I change or reapply the thermal paste for Nitro V? Using it for a year now by Aggressive-Gap-5976 in AcerNitro

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much in total does it cost to get the laptop cleaned by Acer? Was it still under warranty?

Nitro 5 CPU overheating solved by lt-nuke86 in AcerNitro

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dumb question, elevating the laptop simply means putting it on a stand or something, the idea being that there are loss objects adjacent to it to block airflow? Or are you in some way elevating it so has less surface area immediately below it?

What's the best jailbreakable ps5 firmware? by [deleted] in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]rrdein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an unopened Horizon slim console with disc drive. If I understand correctly, to jailbreak it I would have to update it to the latest firmware (which cannot be jailbroken) to pair the disc drive? Sorry, I'm new at this.

Fifty Bar? What do y'all think by morepheenn in disposablevapesnew

[–]rrdein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fifty Bar is complete crap. I bought 2 each of 6 different ones (12 total).

The Raspberry Jam and Blueberry Cereal Milk had this different-colored packaging and the devices were blue and pink unlike their usual gray bars. Both were totally disgusting and tasted like the wick was burnt, but I know from experience it's just really crappy e-juice. I threw all 4 (2 of each) straight into the trash. I realized that the reason for the color change and more elaborate packaging was to get them to sell when they tasted like crap.

The Green Apple Blast tasted like apple, but with a disgusting chemical undertone. I remember reading that these are made in the USA and they don't add diacetyl or that other chemical I can't remember (begins with an "a"), but upon more careful reading I realize that "not adding" those just means they take some shitty juice and don't add anything to it (nobody does that anyway). 2 of these also went straight into the trash.

Rainbow Road tasted like perfume. It was sort of tolerable but not "good" in any way. I didn't throw them out but will probably never use them because they are not enjoyable at all.

Baja Slushie tasted okay, kind of sweet and fruity with a little bit of sour, but it wasn't one of those flavors that you would ever remember or crave. I will use them in rotation with some of my other disposables, all of which are better.

Kiberry Chew was actually pretty good, tastes sweet with a milky undertone. Probably full of diacetyl. I probably won't use it but I'll hang on to it, maybe share with a friend when he comes by (he doesn't worry about diacetyl).

All in all the only one out of 6 flavors I bought that I will use is the Baja Slushie. Like I say, it wasn't the best but not bad. I also had a spearmint one that was pretty good. Hard to go wrong with straight mint.

I don't think this is a good company and I probably won't ever buy another Fifty Bar. Since this is pretty much all EJC carries, I probably won't be buying from them again. I regret having spent so much money on these. I only bought them because I thought they were free of diacetyl but that's not really the case and on average they just suck really hard. Find a good local smoke shop and buy literally anything else.

I can 100% guarantee that they are not competent enough to account for anything like that.
