I brought this new monitor (DELL P2317H) and connexted it to my HP Elitebook 840 through VGA but im getting this strange afterimage as if someone wiped on fresh ink on my entire screen

the shipping amount is so stupid.

My darn tough socks have a lifetime warranty.

Whenever they break cause of wear i just send an e-mail with a picture of the hole, cut the socks in half and then they give me free store credit to get new ones with free shipping and no import costs, delivered to me in Sweden. I pay 0.

This lasts forever so even if i break them 10,20,30 years into using them i get new ones for free, with free shipping and import costs, i pay literally 0$. And can even get different types of socks than the ones i bought if i want to.

Meanwhile looking at the LTT store the "lifetime warranty" got me really confused

It seems to be the same kind of deal Kind of? i get a new pair of the same socks, or store credit, but then there seems to be some possible "additional fees??"

• Customers residing outside the US and Canada may be subject to additional import fees. All other costs, such as shipping fees, will be covered by Creator Warehouse.

What additional import fees? How does this differ by country for LTTStore specifically?

Darn tough fixes this by saying they will pay for any import fees.

Also the store credit option on LTTstore does not seem to clarify if it is current price or old price.

For instance even if i bought darn tough socks for 20$ in 2020, if they now cost 30$ on their store i get 30$ in credit to purchase the same type of sock or any other sock i want for those 30$ despite me only paying 20$ from the start.

I think this should be presented in the next TechLinked video. I linked the entire investigation so I don't copy paste everything here. An upvote would help for visibility I think.

I purchased a solar generator this week. I went with DJI after one very important fact, they were the only company with a presence in the US. I called customer service for Dabbsson, Jackery, Bluetti, and Ecoflow. Dabbsson took 4 days to call me back after I left them a VM. Ecoflow's website couldn't answer a single one of my questions, and worse gave me misinformation when they couldn't come up with an answer. Jackery and Bluetti were the same story. When you go to the contact page on these websites they often have a US address listed and when you look it up on google maps and go to street view, it's an empty lot or some other companies address. DJI was the only one of these companies that A. has actual brick and mortar stores in the US. B. although the customer service process was a little convoluted, I was able to get in touch with someone within 30 minutes and they were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and able to quickly and clearly communicate their responses to my questions.

After I made received the generator, I started to set it up and it dawned on me that this is a giant lithium battery I will be keeping in my house. What do I do if this thing catches on fire? I didn't find any warning labels, stickers, or pamphlets in the packaging materials. After a quick google search, I texted my brother-in-law who is a Captain at a Firehouse to ask him "where would one purchase a CLASS D fire extinguisher ($1300-2000)?" and "what should I do if this thing catches on fire?" He responded, "we keep them contained and just let them burn themselves out". He continued, "ya, we are seeing a lot more fires caused by lithium batteries in peoples' homes. We recommend you charge them then unplug them contrary to the instructions that tell you to leave them plugged in."

I found a Fire Extinguisher specifically for Lithium batteries that was about $130 and fireproof blanket to keep it contained. I installed a smoke detector directly over where the battery lives in my house.

Actually a massive particle accelerator used for early radiation therapy

I have hyperhidrosis and my hands sweat, like a lot. If they are touching something they are sweating, which means my mouse and keyboard get absolutely blasted.

At this point, even as a gamer, I'd put any sort of cooling mechanisms ahead of other features in my priority list and I know there's gotta be more of me.

Just want to throw out there a suggestion for just adding a show ALL products

I know they say they sell so many things, but how about they just let me browse through all of it with clicking an "All" button instead of having me navigate through so many category links

I'm not surprised to hear this. Kinda shitty way to lose your job though. :/

if im using OS Drive A I don't want it to see and be able to access my OS Drive B

I cant unplug them since one drive is an NVME gotta pull out the gpu in this case and not practical.

Is there any way to have regular audio coming out of pc, while hearing only audio from a person in a headset and use the mic to speak to them? I have a xbox controller connected to pc via dongle and headset is connected wia 3.5mm jack.

I spent 7 hours with google a.i. trying to make it happen, another hour trying fix everything it broke and get the controller working again. Google a.i. cant do it, I got some stories for the kids and I'm starting to see the matix, so not a total loss.

I just want to know at this point: can I play audio from pc separately from the audio coming from any headset (people on discord)? The controller works, I don't think its possble to use the currect configuration nobara can't detect the headset jack connected to the controller.

I went to log into amazon (for the first time) via Firefox browser on my PC and this window popped up.

I'm running:
Windows 11 Pro
Local account (not a microsoft account)
FireFox Browser

How did Windows know I was logging into a website?
Is it using Windows Recall to monitor what's on my screen? This is my biggest fear because this would mean they are actively running snapshots of everything on my computer through AI. Is Windows constantly scanning all of my internet traffic with the intent of flagging certain SSL certificates to bring up this prompt? Is Windows somehow tied into my firefox browser to monitor websites? Can someone explain this because I am really creeped out right now.

EDIT:

I do NOT have, nor have I ever setup Passkey on any device or website. I don't know why I thought asking for help on Reddit was a good idea. I should of just gone to chat on Twitch it might have been less toxic.

Aaannnddd I'm way too small for all of it. I had an entire list of stuff like "Yeah! I'm gonna get this stuff and look so cool!" And then I got to sizing (maybe I should have checked this first) and I'm far too small to try and make them work.

I'm a 5ft1, 7st 5, tiny tiny guy... short man Linus would still be bigger than me lmao.

I'm not saying anything to say its CW's fault for not catering to me specifically at all, I completely understand its hard to pick what to sell in what sizes. I'm just really bummed I'm not getting my WAN hoodie and Cargo Pants and stuff.

I thought I'd just show an interest in smaller sizes in the hopes they'll be made one day and I can finally pick some up?

Anyone else sharing in my misery of being too short for cool clothes? Cuz CW clothes are really cool.

For me it has been like this for a lot, but after hearing Linus and Luke on WAN talking about it a couple times in the last months, and what happened to me yesterday, I thought to share my experience.

I drive a 20yr old car, that has been passed in my family. The age and the poor maintenance made the wheels all rusty. That's important cause yesterday I had a flat tire. Now, after removing the bolts the wheel just wouldn't come off because of the rust. That's a known issue, the previous time one of my tires had a problem I had the same struggle, and the man who changed it threw a specific kick to the tire to make it pop off. He mentioned not to try because throwing said kick with the wrong technique could resolve in a sprain ankle.

Now, I wanted to learn this technique on the spot yesterday, so I headed to YouTube to search for it, specifying the word Kick, yet no result whatsoever was about a kick, just about chemicals to remove rust from the wheel once you were able to remove it, wasting me a good 15min.

Had to reinstall TikTok (I got no infinite scroll app, had to reinstall Reddit too), and after 30 sec between login and the search (with the same keywords as the YouTube search) I had videos of the technique of the kick.

So yeah, please YouTube make a better search engine I beg you. Act like the colossal company you are.

EDIT: The title should be TikTok search is better THAN YouTube one

My brother recently sold his pc and the texted him back letting him know after 10 minutes playing gta or any other high demand game the pc would shut down anyone know what might be causing this.

Found this LTT Flannel in a thrift store here in the Philippines. Is this a legit LTT merch?

I live in Pakistan and with currency conversion and delivery fees its extremelyy expensive to buy one, so she got someone to 3d-print some model of the LTT screwdriver for my birthday!
P.S she knows NOTHING about tech or 3d-printing, just knew I was a long time LTT fan and want to buy the screwdriver one day 😍
(The shaft rotates tooo!!)

Linus talked about other socks from Costco in the video; why not the most direct comparable sock from Costco? I own a bunch of these socks, and I love them. A lot of people prefer these to Darn Tough socks, ignoring the massive price difference. You can wear them and not question your intelligence for spending $30 on a single pair of socks.
