BioEnchanted posted:Could it be a problem with the power supply? It's not overheating is it? Pretty sure it's something to do with the power supply, since it does this completely randomly, regardless of the internal temp, fan speeds, and whether or not it's on AC power or has the battery installed. Hopefully replacement parts aren't too expensive. It's a pretty sweet laptop and I'd hate to have to get rid of it. A replacement battery (which I'm pretty sure it needs anyway since this one is a few years old already) is something stupid like $100 direct from Dell, and I'm not sure I want to chance using a cheap knockoff. Meanwhile, I've been browsing the net on my phone, which is okay but I hate typing on it. I pulled my ancient netbook out of storage which is only marginally better, but still godawful compared to my other laptop. Everything is so slow and the the screen is tiny and the keyboard layout is just slightly different..

My old phone that I was using as a glorified MP3 player has finally poo poo itself and is stuck in a boot loop  now I have no way to listen to music at work 'til I nut up and buy a proper player.VV if the thread your post was in was deleted, your post gets wiped from your history along with it.

I can't find one of my posts and it's really bothering me cause it was pretty important. E: I found it and feel like an idiot I didn't see it but in my defense I'm not wearing my glasses and I'm pretty much legally blind and looking at the full website on my phone so it's tiny letters.

Buying movies and shows on Google Play is infuriating because of weird restrictions. Some of them only allow you to watch in HD if viewed on a phone, laptop, or streamed through something like a Chromecast. If I watch in on my desktop, it's only available in standard def. I have a 4k screen, let me loving watch my paid content in HD!

I'm annoyed that I can't really find anything I want to get from the Steam Sale (outside of stuff that's huge-percentage drops, so I'm buying them for pennies on the dollar), but I'm also annoyed that I have so many games that I've previously bought for pennies on the dollar, but don't want to play.

Good: My new MP3 player connects to the Bluetooth thingajobber for my cochlear implant just fine, so I can listen to music while patrolling and while chilling in the guard shack both. Bad: my playlists weren't saved on the microSD card and having to rebuild them on this tiny-rear end screen with this tiny-rear end circular clicky interface will drive me insane

Allegedly I bought Deadpool on... YouTube? Somehow? I have it on Blu Ray and didn't claim the digital version. So confused. Anyway, I bought more dice because I have brain problems.

Brooks Brothers sent me a 40% off coupon that works in their retail stores only and I have nothing I want to buy. A couple years ago I used it to buy a Filson bag.

I joined a fortnightly D&D group at a local game shop a while back and it's pretty fun and the other players are mostly just ordinary people and not the sort of weirdos you normally associate with game shops. The shop owner stipulated that everyone had to buy something worth at least $5 each session to use the space, and that was perfectly fine with me. But since then he's gradually been hassling me more and more to spend more money to the point that I'm tempted to stop going. He hasn't changed the rule, it's still $5 officially, but when I go to pay he'll make comments like "Oh, I suppose you'll be spending the absolute minimum again?" or "You know the whole point of having these games here is so people will support the shop." gently caress, either raise the minimum purchase or stop whinging! I don't want any of the stuff you sell, I'm just here for the game, and I was happy to pay you for use of the space. I can tell you one thing, if I do want to buy any games I'm drat sure not going to buy them there. I kind of hope he goes out of business, really, because then I'd be able to suggest alternative venues to the rest of the group.

You’re safe then. For now. Babies just do this sort of thing from time to time. It’s their way of reinforcing that they’re worth having around no matter WHAT they do.

But it's not all perfect, I spent close to two of those week getting free healthcare when one of my sons was hospitalised and the room was pretty small. Just imagine, I had to sleep on a couch type thing! At least the oldest one could keep going to the almost free daycare!
