Is anyone else out there dealing with this? So, I just got this diagnosis But honestly, I’m skeptical—the doctor says my hearing hasn't dropped and there's no fullness in the ear,
The thing is, I've had some trouble hearing out of my right ear for years now.
Whenever an episode hits, it starts with this intense stiffness in my upper neck and shoulder blade—then the entire right side of my head just aches. I get this pressure and ringing in my right ear, and the muffled feeling gets even worse. After that, the dizziness and nausea kick in, and once those subside, the headache and ear pressure finally let up. Along with the vertigo and vomiting, my right eye starts twitching, and it feels like the whole right side of my face is tightening up slightly. It usually passes in a day or two, leaving me with nothing but a sore neck. The first time it happened was back in 2002, then again in 2021, but lately, it’s been happening much more frequently.
Does anyone know of other diagnoses that might fit these symptoms? I’ve already done a CT scan, blood work, and seen an ENT and a neurologist for a general checkup.
HP DeskJet Plus 4120 (though the HP app keeps calling it a 4100)
So, I picked up a used printer recently—got the drivers installed, set up the HP app, registered everything, you know the drill—but now I'm stuck. It keeps throwing an error at me saying "Use setup cartridges." Naturally, I can't print a single thing.
The previous owner already used up the original setup ink—there was still some black left in there, and the color cartridges have already been swapped out once. I went ahead and bought genuine HP ink, but since they aren't those specific "setup" cartridges, the printer won't cooperate. Since I can't log in with the original owner's account to get the device recognized, how am I supposed to bypass this and actually make the printer mine? Am I really stuck having to hunt down setup cartridges somewhere? And if I am, where do people even find those?
So, just like the title says, I’ve recorded a track using the Locus Map app, and now I'm trying to send it over so I can actually view it on Google Maps, a US government geoportal, or something similar—but I’m hitting a wall. Is that even possible? It would also be a huge help if I could open it in Google Earth. Right now, I can only manage that on my phone, but I really need to see everything on a larger screen. Is there a way to open Earth on my phone, save the track, and then just pull it up via the web on my laptop? As for opening Locus Map directly on my laptop? No luck there either. It keeps asking for a password without giving me any option to actually register anywhere.
To be honest, I *can* successfully email a GPX file. I can get the track to my inbox, but I just can't figure out how to actually open it. I tried converting the GPX to KML. That part works, but saving it to Google Drive is another dead end—it just keeps asking for a login that won't work—and there isn't an option to just email it.
I even tried the "export all in KML and share" route... it exports fine, but the sharing part just doesn't happen.
Long story short, I think I've lost my way a little bit here. Is there a simple, straightforward way to do this? I would be so grateful for any easy advice you guys might have! 🙂

🙏🙏🙏 Honestly, this could have saved my life—well, my work, anyway—next time. I didn't even realize this feature existed... or maybe someone configured it for me during my Windows installation? Either way, it was working in the background without me even knowing it was there. Thanks so much!!! 🙂
When I first started seeing those white lines streaking across my screen, I figured it was just a bad connection—so I swapped out the cable linking the monitor to my PC tower. Turns out that wasn't the fix; about a month later, the whole monitor gave up on me too.
Hahaha, honestly, you're right—there’s just no way to track anything down when Windows or Word decides to ignore your settings entirely. I actually have my autosave set to trigger every five minutes, mostly because I know myself and how often I forget to hit save manually. But apparently, the software chooses to go on strike more often than it actually follows orders. I managed to salvage about a third of the document—basically everything from the last successful autosave or my own manual save a couple of days ago. Everything else? Just gone. Poof. It really feels like technological progress hasn't changed much; the only difference is that instead of saving everything to a floppy disk, we're now dumping it onto an external hard drive.
Just to add—I can’t even find anything when I go looking through the tutorials under manage, save, or temporary files... The other two documents saved just fine, but one of them has completely vanished into thin air. And to top it all off, my autosave folder is totally empty.
I was right in the middle of finishing up a document in Word when my computer just died on me—I’m actually fuming. It looks like nothing autosaved and there’s no trace of where the file went. When I check my recent files, all I see is an old version with just one subheading, even though I had typed out at least twenty more in the meantime. Is there any way at all to recover this document? 😢It feels like such a massive waste of effort to have all that writing just vanish into thin air... plus, I desperately need this finished by the end of the day. 🙂🙂🙂 In case it matters, I'm using an old Asus laptop, which honestly feels like total junk right now. Please, if anyone knows what to do, help me out!!!
It’s such a beautiful piece of history. Honestly, just seeing it brings a bit of comfort—and maybe a little nostalgia for anyone else out there. If you can actually get it up and running, it's still useful. My oldest machine is just a tiny bit younger than this one, and even then, it's still in pristine condition without a single scratch. I still use it to move data from another vintage rig that won't talk to anything else—it's the only way to connect them, and honestly, it works perfectly. Meanwhile, my old laptop runs flawlessly too... it's just that it can't really touch anything from the modern era. 😁
darkowl72 said:It’s not just about how many repairs—I mean, replacements... We really ought to dig into the specific warranty terms to see how long a laptop actually has to sit in service before they decide to just swap it out entirely...
A lot of Apple, yeah—Apple has been the top seller over the last few months, and most of those were the budget models. So, when you have that kind of volume, it naturally looks like there are more failures. But honestly, I don't think it's a massive amount, especially since all Apple laptops—even the cheap ones—fall under that promotion where if they break in the first year, you get your laptop fixed *and* a refund for what you paid...
I hope you registered your laptop for that promo?
Thanks! I need to go hunt down my warranty terms somewhere.
She applied, though she did have to badger them a bit just to get a response—but they accepted everything. Now she's just waiting for those 30 days to pass to see if they actually wire over the 🙂 Personally, I'd much rather never have any issues at all. I'm actually typing this on an old laptop I bought back in 2006—never had a single problem with it, aside from blowing out some dust once. The only issue is it's getting a little sluggish for today's standards, even though I see similar specs selling for $667 even today 😁 so I guess I just miss that old-school build quality 🙂
Look, it’s not that I’m being "restrained"—it’s more like I’m actively trying not to spit on my laptop right now. 😁
The service center was actually pretty professional about everything. They had the first repair done in about ten days, and they were super quick to accept this issue too—they even promised to swap out the screen under warranty.
But honestly, how many glitches does it take before they just give me a brand-new laptop? They mentioned that if this happens again, they’ll have to ship it off to their main hub in Texas for a full diagnostic and repair. And being without my computer for that long? It's such a massive headache. I'm torn... the service center is absolutely packed with Apple gear 🤔
I could really use some advice here I bought this laptop less than six months ago, and already a thin white line popped up at the top of the screen. I took it in for service, they "fixed" it, and now—less than twenty days later—the line is back. Only this time, it’s even thicker and more noticeable. They told me they replaced the ribbon cable, but clearly, that didn't cut it. Is it possible this is just a factory defect? Honestly, I'm terrified to hand it over for repair again, fearing I'll be stuck with the exact same issue in another month. Does anyone have any ideas? I can handle a one-time glitch and a quick fix, but having the same problem twice in a single month feels like a lot. Can I ask them for a more thorough diagnostic—something where they actually ensure it won't fail again in a few days? Or should I just push to have the whole unit replaced under warranty?
On a side note, I also sent my mouse in for repair. They insisted everything was fine with it, but it only started working properly just now—after I spent months struggling with it, wondering if it was actually broken or just cheap junk. Somehow, it finally got sorted out...
What happens when your doctor passes away? To be specific—my primary care physician died about three years ago, right after my last visit to the office. Nobody ever reached out to tell us we needed to pick a new doctor or anything like that. Now that I actually need to see someone, we’ve just discovered he’s been gone for quite a while. So, what now? Where is my medical file? Does someone automatically take over the patient list? If I have to choose a new doctor, how long does the whole process take before I can actually get an appointment? I can't find anything about this on the Medicare website or anywhere else online... :/
I'm looking at everything right now, and besides that Canon mentioned earlier and this http://www.nabava.net/pisaci__110/ca...et-a4__5963621, there isn't much else listed here $333. Is any of this actually decent for what I need? It honestly feels a bit unreliable to me . Are these cheaper Epson printers—the ones under $1,000—actually worth it? I was reading through some threads on the forum about how they tend to have issues with third-party ink... did I get that right? Does an Epson practically require original ink to work properly?
Or should I just be hunting for an all-in-one? Is it even worth looking at anything under $333 if I want to prioritize quality or durability...?
Casey Bennett said:I actually made the switch from an ip4000 to the Canon ip7250 myself. Honestly? I'm pretty happy with it. If you look back at my post in this thread from July 28th, I wrote almost the exact same thing as you 😁 The only catch is that this machine is a total beast—you might want to double-check the dimensions to make sure it actually fits your setup.
On paper, the specs look solid, but man, those dimensions are massive. I honestly don't have a spot for it.😢 Why does it feel like manufacturers are always making things bigger instead of trying to save desk space? It's frustrating...
Alright, so I'm still hunting for that specific printer I mentioned in my first post—it just needs to be something I can actually fit on my desk.🙂
Just like everyone else here, I’m looking for some advice and solid recommendations 🙂 My old http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/suppor...s/pixma_ip3300 finally bit the dust, so I'm hunting for a similar replacement. Honestly, I don't care if it's a laser or an inkjet—I just want whatever is more cost-effective in the long run.
The main thing is that it needs to handle both black and color printing without losing any resolution compared to my old one. It would be ideal if it uses individual ink tanks/cartridges, since I tend to burn through black much faster than the colors. Size-wise, I'm a bit limited—it needs to be roughly 12 inches wide, maybe 16-18 inches deep, and about 12 inches high. I assume that's going to be the biggest hurdle. Budget-wise, I can go up to $333, but I really don't want to buy some cheap piece of junk that dies the second the warranty expires. If you know of models with affordable third-party cartridges, that’s a huge plus; otherwise, I'll just do my own digging on the official refill costs.
As for photo printing on glossy paper? I could totally live without that feature. My old printer did it beautifully, but I won't be going overboard with it 😁. It's hard to pin down exactly how much I print each month—some weeks it's nothing at all, and other times I'll find myself cranking out 500 pages a day for a few days straight. My plan is to print something at least every two weeks just to keep things moving; the print head on my old machine actually died after six years of use because it sat idle too long.
I’m definitely no medical expert, but reading this really makes me think of Candida. If there’s redness, swelling, itching, or if the skin is cracking and peeling—that’s usually my first thought. Though, looking at her specific skin issue, maybe not quite... still, perhaps trying some St. John's Wort oil mixed with tea tree might offer some relief? That combo is pretty great for damaged skin, regardless of what actually caused it. It could also be an allergic reaction to something she’s handling at work. For instance, my mom works in an office setting where she's constantly digging through stacks of paper all day, and her hands have become incredibly dry and cracked. It looks more white and scaly on her cheeks, though, and those cracks get deep and just won't heal. We've tried everything we suspected might be the culprit at home, and it honestly seems like it really is the paper causing the trouble. She only gets any slight relief when she slathers on a really thick layer of moisturizer at work—I guess that creates a bit of a barrier so she isn't in such direct contact with everything. It probably won't be a total cure, though. 🤷
StoreJet 25 M3 750, 750 GB, USB 3.0, 8 MB, 2.5", 5400 rpm, Transcend Warranty: 36 months Weight: 0.420 kg
$211I grabbed this at Best Buy. They were super friendly and quick—honestly, I have to give them some credit. 🙂
The drive comes with two different cables, and it feels a bit more substantial than those ultra-cheap ones you see everywhere. So far, even just testing it on USB 2.0, it seems pretty snappy. 🙂
A few quick questions for you all: -Is it better to unplug it every single time I'm done with it, or is it fine to just leave it connected to my computer? -Can I stream music or movies directly from the drive without any issues? Will doing that shorten its lifespan at all? -Is there anything else essential I should know about keeping my data safe?
Jamie Ramos5 said:prices are right where they are. I really doubt they'll go up—if anything, they might just drop.
Hehe, well, prices could always swing the other way. Just yesterday, I was looking at an ADATA 750GB drive for $174, and today, in that very same shop, it's sitting there for $190. 🤷
