Brandon Miller3 said:A factory reset usually does the trick... but what's killing me since the last update is this "Invalid PIN. You have 2 attempts remaining" error whenever I try to make a purchase. It doesn't matter if I use Apple Pay, transfer funds between accounts, or use my credit card... I have to attempt the same transaction three times before it finally goes through.

Exactly! I got locked out of my account tonight, and I don't even have my physical security key on me right now—so tomorrow, I am going down to the bank and giving them a piece of my mind... those incompetent fools. Who on earth messes with features that were working perfectly fine in the first place? It's pure stupidity.😠
gentleeagle3 said:The secret sauce is meditation. I went through a phase where I meditated every single day, and I was having lucid dreams almost every night. It was honestly incredible. Once I stopped meditating, those lucid dreams started drying up—now I only catch one every few months or so. There you go. 😀

To be truthful, I only started looking into all this after I went through what they call sleep paralysis. You're wide awake, but your body just won't move. I have never, in my entire life, felt such sheer terror in just a matter of seconds...
Honestly, it’s those religious types that really get under my skin—you know the ones, the Jehovah’s Witnesses knocking on your door or those "Praise Jesus" crowds that won't stop shouting it... It drives me absolutely up the wall. Still, I try to stick to that old "live and let live" philosophy whenever I can... even if it's difficult...
Hey everyone, I know some of this might be old news to some of you, but there’s enough fresh stuff here that I’ll definitely have plenty to sink my teeth into this weekend.
I’ve got a recommendation for you—it isn't technically a film, but it certainly qualifies as high-level visual art. It’s quite possibly my favorite Flash game of all time: mitoza.
p.s. And since we were talking about Japanese creators, if you haven't seen funky Forest yet, you really ought to...
You probably aren't even the same person... we rarely notice our own evolution unless it’s some sort of total life overhaul. I certainly haven't been the same man I was back when I was eighteen, though I suppose certain perspectives and tastes of mine have remained stubbornly consistent, or at least somewhat similar...
I just hope they don't forget to sprinkle in a little bit of Dick's signature sense of humor... While Blade Runner stands as a pretty solid piece of filmmaking, it completely misses the core essence of what the book was actually about...
Carol Lopez10 said:Back on July 1st, 2015, I signed up for car insurance with Prudential—got a sweet 50% discount and even added that bonus protection feature. Not long after I closed the deal, I ended up in a little fender bender, so I figured, hey, why not use that protection I paid for? Then by July 1st, 2016, I was renewing through Allstate with my 50% discount intact.
Now I’m getting ready to shop around for new coverage, so I decided to double-check my records on this site and—get this—it says "Claims in the insurance fund: 1."
Does that mean my discount is going to take a hit this year? And honestly, how does Prudential even have that claim on my record if I specifically paid for the protection to keep my bonus safe?
Look, your discount should stay exactly where it is with that company, though don't go thinking your premium won't climb... essentially, if you decide to jump ship to a different provider, you're looking at a policy that's theoretically 15% more expensive. But honestly, everything is negotiable these days because insurance companies are practically clawing at each other to win over every single customer. You probably would have seen a rate hike when you went with the Rocky Mountains guys, yet they gave you the full discount just to keep your business...
I believe I have finally reached a decision regarding both the trade-in (not that I’m looking to make an advertisement here) and the laptop itself. I’ve decided to go with the ASUS K550VX... honestly, I just can't shake that specific, familiar "feel" of the plastic under my hands, you know? Plus, it leaves me with a bit more cash in my pocket, which is always a plus. Now, all that remains is the long wait for my next paycheck to hit the bank.
Alright, thanks. I believe I know where they're located—they should be right there in that little alcove near the walkway on Avenue by Main Street, right? I'll make sure to swing by whenever I'm passing through that area...
Greetings. I am seeking recommendations from those of you who actually stay current with the market regarding a new laptop purchase. At present, my usage patterns have shifted heavily toward mobile computing over desktop setups, necessitating a significant hardware upgrade.
My primary activities involve multimedia consumption and web browsing, supplemented by occasional graphic design work in GIMP and some gaming via Steam. I am running Linux Mint, so any machines shipped with pre-installed Windows are immediately disqualified—it is an unnecessary surcharge for software I have no intention of using. Furthermore, please spare me the suggestions for specialized gaming rigs like the ASUS ROG series; they aren't what I'm looking for. Regarding specifications, I am aiming for an Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a reliable battery life, and an NVIDIA graphics card. An SSD is preferred for storage, though I wouldn't rule out an HDD if upgrading to an SSD later proves to be a straightforward process. Oh, and one crucial detail: it absolutely must feature a standard US keyboard layout. Beyond that, the specifics are secondary.
Thank you in advance.
p.s. Brand loyalty isn't my main driver, even though I do have a slight preference for ASUS. I am currently utilizing an entry-level Dell that is two years old; it serves its purpose well enough, though the keyboard response is rather lackluster when typing at high speeds...

The directive from JPMorgan Chase tells us to just go out and grab Windows 7 or 8 because XP isn't secure, but isn't that such a half-baked statement without any actual reasoning behind it? It really makes me wonder if this is all just a clever little way to help Microsoft boost their sales here in the US by forcing everyone onto newer versions of Windows. What do you guys think?
Just switch to Linux... honestly, any version will get the job done. Microsoft pulled all support—security updates and everything else—for Windows XP, so it makes sense that JPMorgan Chase doesn't want to take the liability. That part is fine.
In my opinion, you might as well just go back to using MS-DOS. 😵
