Hi there, I couldn't find a specific thread for this, so I figured I'd just post my questions here...
My mother had an accident at her workplace, which resulted in a broken hip, and she ended up having a replacement surgery. This all happened about four days ago.

Now I've realized that the deadline to file a workers' comp claim is eight days. Does that window include the weekend? Since you can't really file anything over the weekend, I'm wondering if we have until the end of the eighth day, or if it has to be done by then. I'm honestly a little worried we might miss the cutoff.

I suppose my mistake was probably not jumping on this immediately. I wasn't entirely sure how the whole process worked, and I think I mistakenly assumed the employer had already started the paperwork.

If I'm understanding the procedure correctly, the employer is the one who submits the initial report, fills out their portion, and then I take that to her primary care physician to complete the rest, before finally submitting everything to Medicare?

Hey everyone, I’ll admit right off the bat that I’m pretty much a total novice when it comes to computers. So, please bear with me if I’ve posted this in the wrong section. A few days ago, my laptop hit me with a blue screen of death, and after a bit of Googling and listening to some advice online, I thought I might be able to tackle it myself. It didn't really go well, though... so I eventually decided the best move was to just perform a clean install of Windows since I had already backed up all my important files...
I put Windows 7 onto a USB drive and started the installation process, but then I ran into this snag where it says there's a driver loading error—basically claiming a specific driver can't be found or doesn't exist.
Since I'm definitely not an expert here, I'm honestly not quite sure what that's supposed to imply. If it means a certain driver is missing from the installation media I'm using, I guess I have no idea how to figure out which one it is. Or, maybe it's actually a hardware failure? If it's the latter, I suppose I'll just have to hand it over to the professionals who actually make a living fixing these kinds of things! 😁😅

Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone might know about a specific type of business or company... you know, one that actually buys up used laptops? Even if they're totally broken or won't turn on at all, specifically just to harvest them for parts or scrap...
