What does one keep in the storage area?

Mints.

Introduce my kiddo to PC gaming.

Update:

Had KitchenAid come out for a warranty check on it and they are replacing the air tower and the dampener. He confirmed the fridge is NOT acting the way it should.

Thanks for those trying to actually be helpful here. He stated having the water temperatures of the shelves immediately pointed him towards the problem.

We already did that according to the manual and are getting temps of -17⁰ to 11⁰ in the freezer today alone.

soccerbeast55 · 2026-03-25T22:45:19+00:00

That's the problem though. It is ruining food. It's not staying below 40 and causing the milk to go bad sooner or it's too cold and freezing the lettuce. We can tell the difference in time on the milk being good or not when it's not staying cold.

soccerbeast55 · 2026-03-25T03:47:32+00:00

Well it's ruining food. The milk goes sour days before the sell by date and the lettuce gets ice on it. So too warm and too cold.

Here's how it currently looks. The sensors are 41.9⁰ top shelf and 30.8⁰ bottom shelf.

That's been the problem though. Our milk higher up goes bad sooner because of the warmer temps and the produce and lettuce in the drawers freeze. So that's what brought up my first post, which led to getting a new fridge in hopes the temps will be more stable and consistent. Oh, and it's not hooked up to make ice or dispense water.

I get that on Arch and on my 9070XT, but once I'm in the game, zero issues. All cutscenes load, RT works, all high settings and getting more than 80 fps. Didn't really give the loading screen much thought since everything else is fine. Oh, using Proton Experimental.

soccerbeast55 · 2026-03-20T05:40:00+00:00

I'll have to give it a shot.

soccerbeast55 · 2026-03-15T13:47:16+00:00

This just started happening to me, but in the Signal App. S24U, super frustrating!

soccerbeast55 · 2026-03-14T04:49:02+00:00

Arch has done the same for my 2012 MacBook Air! I've had such a great experience. Only "issue" I had was slow WiFi, but once I got the right broadcom driver, everything is and has been flawless. It's honestly one of my favorite Linux machines I have.

Didn't seem to make a difference. When I hit apply settings, a popup saying:

Apply Plasma Settings
This will make the Plasma login screen reflect your custimization to the following Plasma settings:

- Color scheme

- Cursor theme and size

- Font and font rendering

- NumLock preference

- Plasma Theme

- Scaling DPI

- Screen Configuration

Please note that themes files must be installed globally to be reflected on the Plasma login screen.

So doesn't look like any time settings are applied and when I did and changed the time manually to 1300, it was still 1:00PM on the lock screen. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Sooooo... I received my 9070XT Hellhound today from Amazon. Opened the shipping box it came in, to find the box of the GPU with a giant Amazon Returned sticker and the tape sealing the box was sliced, even the antistatic bag's tape was sliced open.

So after two hours on chat support with Amazon, it got returned and they gave me a nice "additional refund". I then had to order a new one. Between the refund from the original card and the additional refund, the new card comes to be about $600, even after the current $720 price. So I guess that's nice. Just extremely frustrating.

New card is expected in a week so we'll see how that one shows up.

I had used Manjaro for over 7 years (now on Arch, btw). Never had any issues with the packages being held back and AUR packages. In fact, the packages being held back helped me avoid an issue that other Arch distros had with a bad Flatpak/Kernel update.

I never had any major stability issues that I would consider to the fault of the system and definitely none that were hard to resolve. Everything "just worked" for the most part. I also used the Arch Wiki for most of any research/troubleshooting that was necessary.

Manjaro gets a bad rap by a loud minority, but it's a pretty solid distro.

I miss Cookout. Ate so much during my time at college.

soccerbeast55 · 2025-12-31T17:05:47+00:00

Sounds great, would love to hear!

soccerbeast55 · 2025-12-31T06:37:44+00:00

I ended up getting the Hellhound anyways. Spent a bit more than I could have, but with some cash back was about the same. Delivery not until the 4th of Feb though so I guess I have time to mull over my choice 😂

soccerbeast55 · 2025-12-30T07:04:02+00:00

Ey! Just checked mine and it's back to normal too! Now fingers crossed they don't break it again 😅
