Great time for my PC to start going to shit: Steam client and games keep crashing, all browsers giving me cache errors and excruciating load times, Windows itself keeps locking up

Just what in the living fuck is Google doing to Google Maps?!

What is this shit?

Where are the country names? What the fuck do you think a map is for?

Fix this shit!

Oh weird. Before posting this I decided to give google an F5. Looks normal. I guess the issue at the moment is zooming in and out without refreshing the page. If I go from zoomed all the way out and then zoom about halfway in it lacks some information, but then after refreshing the information on the map will appear. So it's clearly an issue on Google's end.

EDIT: !!!!!! I switched to Chrome and it works fine there. Hmm... I wonder if they are purposefully fucking with it on Firefox. Kinda like how google.com is half assed on the firefox Android browser unless you add a Chrome UA on Google for Firefox.

RAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!

Maybe one of you tech wizards can help me out here. I've been getting this error recently. The only thing I think I've changed recently is I've started to use Firefox in Chrome in an effort to switch (I might o back tbh). Anyway I can't seem to run windows virus scans anymore now? I click scan now or full scan and nothing happens. I've already run sfc scan and dism scan via command prompt and one of them said there were corrupted files but they fixed it. Still can't scan. It might be unrelated idk but help would be appreciated.

Rufus · « **Reply #7926 on:** April 19, 2020, 02:32:16 PM »

Hm. I tried googling the executable, but nothing comes up. Is it being truncated? I didn't choose to create start menu items when I installed Firefox, so I can't compare against my own install. Have a look at the folder and the files within.

As for the anti-virus not working: Check your reliabity monitor for failed updates. And have a peek at administrative events in your event history for any errors that might be related. The latter will be full of warnings no matter what, but that doesn't mean anything necessarily.
You can access either by just typing "reliabity" or "event" with the start menu open.

I now understand the protestors wanting to open things up again. I just spent 2 hours trying to teach my kids sine, cosine and tangent formulas and when to apply them.

Pay the teachers twice as much.

Not that this changes anything but I tend to like DuckDuckGo's utilization of Apple Maps for overviews. Found it frequently snappier and with less street/road names hidden at certain zoom levels. Also fond of its dark theme matching.

My credit union has again added "fraud protections to benefit me" which just means I can't fucking buy anything on the gosh darn internet not from the United States, even through Paypal. And now, for my convenience, they've turned off the automatic code messages that get sent that let me call a computer lady to say "no, I really did mean to pay these Eastern Europeans for a Steam key" raising the likelihood of my having to pretend to actually call the help line (during reduced hours thanks to COVID) to say I want this shit turned off somehow rather than just giving up.

I give up. What do I need the remastered Bulletstorm for anyway? It'll probably be close to $4 at an "accepted" retailer probably someday.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #7932 on:** April 22, 2020, 08:27:04 AM »

My dog is not doing well at all - I don't think she's actually hurt - I think she is having really bad anxiety issues again. Should have put this is the struggle tread.

Her anxiety was building for the last 4 months, I was just hoping to not have to put her back on anxiety meds but I think I waited too long. She now screams when I touch her back - her head is fine, and she only does this in contexts related to going outside (like putting her harness on and off or taking her off the bed to go to the door). It could be that she is having back issues too and just having the major anxiety reactions because of that (she has always been hypersensitive to pain). However, over the last few months, she has also been showing concerning signs like scratching and staring at walls, which I thought was anxiety issues but now I'm worried it might be cognitive.

The vet will only do emergencies and is taking forever to get back to emails. I put her back on her anxiety meds this morning, even before the vet got back to me. I'm hoping it is hurt back and some anxiety about that and not sever anxiety in general or dementia. If it's more than a minor physical issue, I don't see how she'll have any quality of life because her anxiety just compounds everything.

I just took her for a walk and it was worse than last night.

My 2 year old locked me out of our flat when I was outside on the balcony hanging up clothes. I had closed the door but the lever was in open position when she tried to come outside, pulling the lever down in the process

Then the little smartass protested why I wasn't letting her out

Thankfully my wife was just 20 minutes away. I diverted our little girl from messing up the flat and putting her fingers in the wall socket by showing her cartoons on my smartphone meanwhile

Cool cool. Yeah when using Google Maps on firefox I still have issues when zooming in and out. Chrome. No issue. And it's not because of uBlock Origin either which I have toggled on and off to see if that was an issue.

I had some paperwork issues with school a few months ago that was (mostly) not my fault - a committee member failed to file some paper work. It fucked with my registation status and i think I just lost a 3K grant because of it. Not really happy.

Bebpo · « **Reply #7943 on:** April 24, 2020, 11:58:42 PM »

It's really fucking hot today in So Cal. 90degrees up in my place.

I have AC but it's been busted for years. Last summer they threw some patchwork in and 6lbs of coolant and it lasted most of the summer (2-3 months), but nothing today. Trying to get them out Tuesday to do the same thing.

Never looked into a portable AC unit before, but started looking into them today and will give one a try for my computer room. Supposed to get it on Wednesday so hopefully one of the two things work. Doubt I'll sleep much tonight with this heat.

Bebpo · « **Reply #7944 on:** April 25, 2020, 01:28:47 AM »

Also I'm kinda concerned about having enough amps for the portable AC since running extension cables on most electronics is a fire hazard. The one I'm getting says it's 9amps, which is a lot on a 15amp circuit. My PC has an 850w power supply so that looks like it's about 3.5amps and then there's the small plugs like game consoles and valve index radars and headset and cable modem, etc... my plasma tv is also apparently about 2.7amps. I moved the tv to another circuit, but will probably be stuck with my PC on the same circuit as this portable AC so I hope that doesn't trip it.

I guess worst case scenario I can try to find a power bar that has like a 50 foot cord on amazon and run the bar from another room/circuit and plug the portable AC onto it. Probably not the worst idea other than looking ugly if my current setup trips the breaker. I've got all my electronics in one small room on 2 circuits (and one with a shitty GFE that trips well before 15amps so I can't even have my computer on it) but the other rooms in my house barely use anything on the circuits outside the kitchen, so I have plenty of extra juice in neighboring rooms.

Found a 25 foot one in a few seconds. Probably gets me to the next room:

Hmmm, looks like portable AC units are one of those weird high power things you're not supposed to use on surge protectors and need to be in the wall unit. I guess I could move everything else to another circuit with one of those 25/50 foot cords if needed.

In between an inconvenience and a struggle but I can't afford my piano lessons right now.

I've been doing virtual lessons via TakeLessons.com and it's been cost-effective but they require you to pay a month's in advance and I just can't right now.

Also been unable to upgrade my keyboard to one with weighted keys too. I feel like a failure on this.

Maybe this would be better in the struggle thread...

Amazon knows that the people who like Sorbo Christian movies are vocally resistant cucks. Your reviews say no but your dirty word view says yes.
