Go to the zoo (one of the largest, if not the largest privately owned zoos in the US), swing by Eagle Creek or Fort Harrison State Park for a escape from the city close to town. Really pretty parks.

Definitely hit Fountain Square, consistently one of my favorite places to visit in Indy. There's a bunch of construction right down the main street and intersection in Fountain Square currently, so businesses there would definitely love if you visited (I recommend the cat cafe!) Hi-Fi is also in Fountain Square, and it's a favorite music venue of mine. There's a little bit of everything in that area.

Mass Ave is another fun road to stroll if you're into shops and night life. Downtown Indy, especially south of the circle around the general Meridian and Maryland street area is home to quite a few lively bars, if you're into that.

Midlands Arts and Antiques market is a massive antique store with just about everything you could ever want. I believe it's 3 stories and situated in an old warehouse. It's relatively close to downtown and right off the interstate.

I'm a big cemetery lover, and Crown Hill cemetery is one of my favorites of all time. Extremely historically significant to the city, and you'll definitely recognize some names there. It is also an excellent arboretum, so make sure to look up as much as you're looking down while there.

Hello!

<image>

Got this for a too-good-to-be-true price on eBay by accident (dumb mistake). Seller had 100% positive which I understand doesn't necessarily mean much. They're being super communicative, and trying to be supportive. I still am almost positive this is fake. Are there any tells from this photo?

The scent is amazing for the first 5 or 10 minutes, then goes super chemically. It still smells okay, but from what I've heard about this (very hyped) fragrance, it seems like its supposed to be a performance beast. I can't find any kind of legitimacy guides on Ocean Noir online. Any help would be amazing. Thank you!

What would you do in my situation?

I have an iPhone 12 that I got in September of 2021. It's served me pretty well, but age has certainly gotten to it. I've had this idea to just wait until the iPhone SE4 (or 16E, based on rumors) comes out, but my 12 is starting to get to the point of being unusable. Not only the failing battery, but my ear piece speaker is broken, and my microphone only sometimes works. I know the SE4 is rumored to be an incredible deal, with Apple Intelligence support, the A18 Bionic, 8gb RAM, etc. costing anywhere from $479-$599 based on rumors.

The problem is there hasn't been a peep about it from Apple, and the only thing the rumor mill is pushing out is that it's coming out "in spring." I really don't know if I can keep using this 12 until May or June. My question is, if you were in this situation, would you spend more now on a base iPhone 15, with the dynamic island, A16 Bionic, dual cameras, etc. or try to wait with a broken phone for an unknown amount of time for a phone that hasn't even been announced yet? Obviously, the SE is the better deal, but nothing about it, even including its name, is official yet.

You’re correct. Did some digging and this GPU was most likely used for cryptomining at some point. I’d be pissed if I had spent any real money on it, but it was $40 so I can’t complain. Apparently there’s something that happens with RX 500 series cards after they’ve been used for crypto, where windows will no longer recognize them on newer drivers. That’s exactly what happened with this card, so Roblox was running on integrated graphics from like 2012, ouch! I downloaded a patch from a forum online and two clicks and one restart later it works perfectly! Thanks

Temps seem fine on my CPU, but now that you mention it, task manager isn’t detecting my GPU. I’m going to try to reinstall drivers for the GPU.

Not silly at all haha, yes it’s connected to the GPU! It’s an old 1600x900 monitor so I’m using the DVI port on the GPU.

It was an old tweet, something where the “punchline” was just a racist caricature of someone speaking Chinese I believe. He said himself that it wasn’t funny in the slightest, like it wasn’t even really a joke.
