Flu symptoms in Health ·
Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better 🙂

My fever finally broke, and I’m managing to keep things under control somehow. The biggest issue right now is this cough and a throat so irritated that I can barely speak without feeling like I'm choking. 😵

Rest is key, yeah, I agree there. You can't speed up the process; all you can do is try not to make it much worse.
It’s only day three for me, but I'm guessing it should wrap up by the end of the week. This is some nasty strain of the flu, and I've never dealt with anything quite like this before.

The coughing has become more intense than before, and I feel suffocated if I don't cough deeply enough. My voice is hoarse, speaking is difficult, and my chest hurts because I am straining so hard while coughing. I am worried that it might have progressed to pneumonia. 🙂

I am not sure what the best course of action is. Should I head to the Emergency Room, or should I wait until Monday to see my primary care physician?

I'm in the exact same boat. Literally everything you described is happening to me too. How are you holding up after a few days?
This might sound a bit stupid, but my dentist gave me a referral for a specialist. Where am I supposed to actually book an appointment? I called the main line and all they told me was "last one was 106," and now I'm calling that number but can't get anyone on the line. Has anyone gone to a dental specialist lately? How long did you end up waiting and where did you make the appointment? 🤦

It seems like he's perfectly fine with things staying exactly as they are. But you aren't, and I don't think you should sit around waiting for him to change his mind.
Even if he did change his mind, the power dynamic between you two seems a little off, so you might just end up constantly worrying that you aren't a priority.

Why do you keep bringing up that age 40 thing?

Number 40 caught my eye too. This whole thread is definitely a troll fest.🍿

So you just block someone's driveway and then act like you're doing nothing wrong?
Classic small-town entitlement.
I actually need the old design because of an Add-on I'm running. If you're using Chrome, there’s an Add-on available that lets you get the old Facebook layout back.
PC won't turn on in IT Support ·
That’s pretty much what I expected. Thanks for the heads-up 👍

Swapped in a different power supply, still getting the exact same result.
So, we're looking at a motherboard failure most likely?
PC won't turn on in IT Support ·
Anyone have a clue why my PC suddenly won't boot? All I hear is the relay in the power supply clicking repeatedly, the fans spin up for a second, and then it just loops indefinitely.

I've tried unplugging everything one by one to troubleshoot. When I disconnect the CPU power cable, the clicking stops and the fans just run constantly.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before?
For context, the motherboard is a Dell Sabertooth Z97, the PSU is a Corsair CS750M, and I can't remember the exact CPU model off the top of my head.

The early posts were pretty much noise anyway. The last three pages are where things actually got interesting. 😁

I’m starting to wonder if the moderators are all off on vacation somewhere. What's the hold-up with the sanctions regarding the "BlackRock" thread? 🍿
Asthma Management in Health ·
It was probably triggered by that air quality from a few days ago, especially if you’ve never dealt with anything like this before. I highly doubt your Asthma would just decide to flare up out of nowhere like that.

Need RAM and a battery for my Dell laptop in Laptops ·
Carl Sullivan22 said:Hey there,

I have a Dell Inspiron with 6GB of RAM. I want to upgrade to at least 8GB because it feels a bit sluggish lately.
My question is: which one should I buy? What’s the actual difference between the random stuff on Amazon versus name-brand modules?
Any recommendations?
The current module inside is: Crucial 2 GB 1 Rx16 PC3L-12800S-11-13-C3

One more thing about the battery. My battery died after just a year and I have no idea why. Maybe just bad luck, though the fan was always making some noise when I shut down the laptop... Anyway, now I need to grab a new one.
Which battery should I get, and is it safe to order from Amazon or somewhere similar?
The current battery is: Dell Inspiron 2950mAh 44Wh
I saw this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Ori...01454#shpCntId

It claims to be an original and offers free shipping... what do you guys think?

It depends on what you actually do with the laptop. Honestly, you won't notice much of a difference jumping from 6GB to 8GB.
Your battery likely died because you keep it plugged into the charger constantly. As for the link, that battery looks fine. I recently ordered one for a nearly identical machine; it cost me about $23, so you can probably find one even cheaper.
Laptop dead?!? in IT Support ·
Mind if I ask where you picked up that laptop? I’ve been noticing more and more retailers pushing those 5-year protection plans through various insurance companies lately...
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Thanks, that’s pretty much what I figured. Still, that tech is ancient by now, and even back then, it wasn't anything special. 🙂
I'm not picking up another one because I already have one, so that's off the table. Maybe I'll swap it out if I decide to put one of my lower-end power supplies in this build—I've got a few lying around—but since you left this one here, I might just hang onto it for later. 😁
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
I've got an old PC sitting around, and I'm wondering what kind of cash it might actually pull in 😵
I swapped out the 😁 because my larger drive finally kicked the bucket

Intel Core i3-2100 2.8Ghz
Asrock M3A770DE AM3 socket
NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 1024 MB 128 bit
CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS
Kingmax ddr3 1333Mhz 4Gb ( 2x2GB)
Seagate HDD 80GB
Thermaltake V3 case

Is it even worth trying to sell this, or is it just junk at this point?

You just changed yours recently.

So, I wasn't dreaming after all. 😛 I honestly couldn't remember if I had already asked this or not, which is exactly why I brought it up. Thanks. 🙂

How long can you actually run it without being plugged in? Your battery is probably shot by now.
