Chase Bank in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
Do you have a source for that? In my line of work—we build e-commerce sites—every single item where a price is listed had to be updated to show an additional conversion to USD just to stay compliant.

Everything has transitioned over to the Euro adoption act, but I’m not seeing any prices listed in dollars. For instance, it shows my spending or incoming transfers in euros along with the balance for each item—but the USD amount is just missing. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Lithuania is currently working on banning Russian tourist visas—it looks like a few other countries might be weighing similar moves. It makes me wonder: should we consider banning Russians from entering the US altogether?

Here’s a breakdown of the major corporations pulling out of Russia—some have just hit the pause button, while others are staying put. For instance, brands like Decathlon, Avon, Wells Fargo, Ford, and Dell are all staples in the American market, yet they haven't actually shuttered their operations over there.

How do you clean your keyboard? in Computer Peripherals ·
I’m one of those people who eats right at my desk—my keyboard is basically a graveyard for crumbs. What’s the best way to clean it out without having to pop off every single keycap? Maybe some kind of tool that can actually blast the debris out if I flip the board upside down?

Is there actually anything in our stores of Russian origin? 🙂 Like vodka or something?
ATM issues/locations? in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
Easy enough for small change, but what if the payoff is actually worth it? 😵
ATM issues/locations? in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
Do you actually count your cash right there at the ATM just to make sure the machine didn't screw you over? Or do you just shove it straight into your wallet and call it a day? I realize the odds of a machine miscounting are slim—probably negligible, really—but I can't help wondering...
E: drive has disappeared in IT Support ·
I shut my PC down yesterday and left it sitting for about two hours. When I fired it back up, everything seemed perfectly fine. It's been another day now, and honestly, everything is still running just as expected...
E: drive has disappeared in IT Support ·
I shut my PC down normally after my last session today.
A few hours later, I tried to boot it back up, and now Dropbox is throwing an error saying it can't open because the shortcut is missing.
I attempted to open a simple .txt file—basically my daily planner and notes—which has a shortcut on the desktop while the actual file lives on my E: drive. Same problem: it says it can't find the path.
When I check "This PC," it shows the C: drive, but the E: drive has completely vanished. A restart didn't fix a thing.

I've been Googling for solutions. I went into Disk Management -> Action -> Rescan Disks, but nothing new popped up.
Checked Device Manager -> Disk drives, and all I see is the SSD listed.

I haven't touched any hardware. My C: drive is an SSD, whereas the E: drive is just a standard hard drive. The machine is about five years old, running Windows 10.

Any ideas on what else I should try?
How to track my posts and replies? in Forum Help! ·
Does this only work at the email level?
I have zero interest in getting forum emails—but I can't even get an in-app notification like modern sites do.
So, my only option is to click my username and manually check for replies? Just to see if anyone actually responded? 😵

This forum feels like it’s being run by toddlers just slapping on no-brainer WordPress plugins.

The extension itself is solid—it works in Firefox, at least—which means it should help out with most other sites too. That part is actually pretty great.

How do I shut these notifications off? Especially since I really wouldn't want anyone else seeing my alerts popping up on their screens.
Budget PC build around $650? in Desktops ·
Yeah, connecting via WiFi.
If I’m reading this right, there's an internal card you install inside the rig versus a simple USB dongle you just plug in?
What’s the actual catch? For instance, is there a noticeable difference in signal stability or raw speed? My router is just in the next room.

I'd rather not crack the case open myself—if I mess with the internals, I risk voiding the warranty, and since I'm not based in Washington, D.C., getting service sorted isn't exactly convenient. But if one option is clearly superior for the long haul, I guess I'll have to make it happen...

You're stretching your budget by about $133. You've already got the integrity built into the CPU—6 cores/12 threads.
16GB of RAM...

If going over budget is too much of a stretch, just grab 8GB of RAM and call it a day. That should do it.

A bit late on this due to some stuff coming up, but I finally picked up the PC and it arrived today. The issue is I can't get online—the computer isn't even seeing any available networks. I'm reading online that some motherboards might lack certain capabilities? What am I supposed to do to fix this?
Mouse recommendations? in Computer Peripherals ·
Which mouse should I pick up for my home office setup? I just need the basics—two buttons and a scroll wheel—but it needs to be comfortable for long hours, ergonomic, smooth, black, and quiet. Doesn't have to be wireless, budget is around $67. Right now, I'm stuck using some cheap Genius model from a local corner store that feels terrible to use.
I'll be ordering through CNN, thanks in advance.

Much appreciated—I'll take it 👍

I need a new build for work—mostly programming, rapid refreshing of heavy sites, Photoshop, and Lightroom (where the processing load hits hardest)—plus some background streaming via YouTube or Twitch.
Budget is around $1500 (I can stretch it a bit if the performance jump is significant, but I'd prefer to stay in that ballpark).

- A fast Intel processor
- Integrated graphics should be enough—provided it supports dual monitors without breaking the bank. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if I decide to add a second screen later.
- A primary SSD larger than 200 GB (my current 110GB drive is basically at capacity).
- A secondary 1TB drive.

Last time I ordered from google.com, everything went smoothly, and they seem to offer discounts for certain payment methods. I’m looking for someone to assemble the PC—ideally, it should be a quiet build.

I’m currently juggling two machines. This one was an upgrade based on your previous recommendation (it’s still a solid machine today), but I’m trying to gauge what a modern equivalent looks like given my workflow:
- i5-4440 3.10GHz—Task Manager shows 100% utilization whenever I generate previews in Lightroom or perform basic edits like cropping. I have to wait a few seconds for the system to catch up. Since this rig is about four years old, I'm expecting a noticeable speed boost.
- 8GB DDR3—With my usual apps open, Task Manager shows I'm sitting at about 6GB usage.

Thanks. 🙂
