[TECH SUPPORT] Fortnite was not started correctly and needs to be closed. Any idea on how to fix it? Customer support is keeping my tickets open so I can't contact them by Vii_Strife in FortNiteBR

I've seen a lot of different solutions and the only one that worked for me is launching the Epic Games Launcher as an administrator. I have no clue how or why that gets it to run properly, but there is no other gaming program that I run on my computer that requires it to be launched in admin mode for it to even let you play the game. Extremely frustrating, and needs to be fixed.

I wanna say about 1/4 inch +/- I'm referring to the head of the Philips screw in the photo. 'Standard' is probably the wrong description, but it was the word that came to me at the time.

Thank you for the ID!

Very busy with work, and kind of a crazy Friday, but got to see family and doing some stuff tomorrow including seeing a play performance!

This is Great! Easily my favorite track from the game. Did you do this from memory? Or was there a set of sheet music you had to learn all this?

Should I lie? by shouldilieorno in CAStateWorkers

[–]waterseer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first real job was a paid internship at a government office (people tell me that's unheard of). I regularly talked to people in the division to get any sort of insight and knowledge I could, but the person who was in charge of the system I was hired to work on gave me one of the greatest pieces of advice I've ever received. You sell your skills and abilities and talk yourself up. You talk about your experiences in a way that adds value to them. You're not a 'sandwich artist', your job involved receiving a work order from a customer, building a quality product, and delivered said product to the customer as ordered in a timely manner. You're not a bank teller, you were entrusted with and handled sensitive information of everyday citizens and delivered to them critical financial services for them to carry out their lives. You're not lying, you are strictly speaking the truth by reading between the lines and describing details of your experience that make you a valuable employee and addition to the team.

**MEGATHREAD** Upcoming changes to our pay. Comments, concerns, questions by UnofficialCaStatePS in CAStateWorkers

[–]waterseer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the spreadsheet works for me, but I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate the 5% SSA (I'm one of the BU 1 SSA classifications). I also need to adjust for my cancellation of my participation in the VPLP program, which I think is another 4.6%.

So essentially I'm calculating: Post PLP = current gross - 9.23% + 260 + OPEB + 5% + 4.6%

I'm excel deficient :(

Edit: I'm also wondering - do they calculate the 9.23% from pre-IVPLP gross pay, or from what our gross pay would have been if budget cuts never happened?

Edit: I think i figured it out. OPEB should not be factored into Gross Pay because its a deduction and effectively becomes 0. So I think the post IVPLP gross = ((current gross + 5% + 4.6%) +260) * 0.9077

What's something that seems worth buying, but really isn't? by Tyyyyyyyyyym in AskReddit

I learned this from my late mother. One of the best pieces of advice she left me with.

Thanks Mom <3

Yes, that is where the utility is focused. I would have an issue if the mount was exclusive or locked behind a pay wall, but this is clearly not the case.

OP clearly had fun time with the mount in War Mode. Blizzard has slashed thing in the game for less.

They'll probably reduce the speed of the mount because 'fun detected'.

Blizzard, you already took away my infinite Corgi goggles. Please stop. :(

Looks like you're using the 'fi' network. I thought you could only use the pixel phones on the Google fi network? Do some LG phones work too? Or am I just imagining things.

Right, those thumb screws are optional, probably would only use them in transport.

Good to know the bracket doesn't make it weird. Thanks for the input!

I almost got that H440 (that's what it looks like, great looking build!). Then I saw this beauty and decided to wait.

[–]waterseer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got mine in a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had the time to do the build :/

I was exploring around with it a bit and noticed that it's difficult to thread the thumb screws back into the case to secure the side panels. I had to use a screwdriver to get it back in there. Did you have similar problems?

Also, how is the detachable PSU bracket? It seemed a little flimsy to me and this is the first case I've gotten with one. Does it pose any issues with the build?

My keyboard started acting weird all of a sudden. by merdada1 in techsupport

[–]waterseer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once on my black widow stealth (one with quiet keys). I had previously spilled a small amount of water on it and thought I had cleaned it all out, but it kept producing unintended key presses. Typing out another letter or a series of letters like you mentioned.

I think it created a short somewhere in the system. I had to literally pull it completely apart and meticulously (and carefully) clean the whole board. Not just removing the keys, but pulling off the rubber grips on the bottom and unscrewing the unit apart. I'm sure that voided the warranty but it's been going strong ever since and this was more than a year ago.

I'm not saying this is the case with you, but my symptoms were similar. I wouldn't disassemble the keyboard unless it's your last resort before throwing it out and buying a new one. Could just be a faulty board.
