They're basically just doing what YouTubers were doing over Patreon for a long time, paywalling videos. It's like when they added channel subscriptions, they're just trying to bite off Patreon.

Evaluations are not free for a reason.
You're making them show up at your house to check the work that needs to be done.
Travel time and time at your place, is time they can't work on a job at another customer's house.
Them taking the cost of the evaluation off the total cost of the job is perfectly normal to do as that time would then be included in the time needed to complete the job.
 
If you want a "free quote", it usually involves them not showing up, a 5 minutes phone call and would simply be an estimate based on other jobs they've done.

It's just to determine the concentration of oil in the product. The more there are, the longest lasting it will be. 
 
Eau fraiche is basically your aftershave. Last 30 minutes to an hour.
Cologne tends to last about 2 hrs or so. 5% or less.
Eau de toilette (EDT) usually last a bit longer but not by much, around 3-4 hrs. Typically around 5% to 10%, some go to 15%.
Eau de parfum (EDP) has a higher concentration and can last anywhere between 5 to 8 hours. Around 20% oil concentration.
Parfum, is by itself at the top if we exclude pure oil. Easily lasting a day. Can go to around 30% and even 40% in oil concentration.
 
Obviously the higher concentrations are more expensive. It also entirely depends on your use case and how long you want/need to smell.
I don't know if there are actual guidelines in the industry for these. This is just info I found online.
 
But please. Do everyone a favor... Don't empty the entire bottle on yourself. 2 sprays at the minimum. 5 MAX.
I swear some people are spraying this stuff all over themselves and you can still smell them 10 minutes after they passed through an area.

If I was you, I would use the live CD option(s) to test stability (check temps as well?)   And then just reinstall the os, imho you are going to mess about for ages trying to sort this out and it would be far quicker to just reinstall os and programs.   but it is your time ...     I have swapped motherboards and not reinstalled a couple times and something was always wonky and eventually i just gave up and reinstalled the os.    I won't even try it again as it is a real time suck and I have things to do..    Of course make sure you backups are good before reinstalling or whatever.
 
If you want you could down load bluescreenview and post some of the results and maybe someone could give you tips / ideas as to what is going on... but personally I wouldn't want to keep messing around with it and I would just reinstall.

While you technically can upgrade your hardware without reinstalling windows in many cases... Ideally you would be uninstalling your old chipset drivers prior to upgrading the hardware to give yourself a fighting chance. 
 
That said. You did not just upgrade the motherboard and CPU, right? You should've also changed your RAM. Old board is DDR4, new board is DDR5.
I would recommend you test your new hardware for any issues. Either with memtest86 or prime95 on blend test that has all the RAM selected.
I would also suggest trying to boot on a USB live instance of whichever Linux distro of your choosing and trying it out for 10-20 minutes. Just to see if it fails there. If it doesn't. It is likely Windows that is the issue. If it does, the issue is more like to be hardware related.

So it's still the same Windows install you were running on your old hardware? Generally I recommend reinstalling when you change motherboards, because all kinds of odd stuff like this can happen.
 
Is your CPU cooler making good contact? If you do a soft reset immediately after it crashes, does it run for as long before it crashes again?

If you can wait, just wait.
 
I hope 9000 series have improved memory support, I'd love to see AM5 being able to use higher speed memory.

I quit Counter Strike after Source. 
I quit Final Fantasy after 12. That game was so bad... Tried getting into 15, couldn't. The active combat mechanic is not what I wanted from a final fantasy game. I did play the FF7 remake, but only out of nostalgia.
I haven't bought a single EA game after they ruined SimCity and closed servers left and right for games. Like DarkSpore.
Lost all interest in Diablo after D3. Didn't buy or play D4.
Age of Empire. I quit after the 2nd game.
So many more that I'm forgetting... For good reason.
 
I never got into CoD, Battlefield, MoH and the likes that were getting a new game every year or two. Never got into Assassin Creed either.

🤔 in my recollection... win98 SE never realy supported ntfs... just fat32..  and mbr.. 
and yeah.. splitting large sizes was a known trick back in the day.. and a pain.. 

You can remove trusted devices if you can log into the account on a computer.
You can recover an account through various means as well, even if 2fa is enabled.
I would suggest getting the backup codes at the very least. I store mine in a Keepass database. But you can use Bitwarden or the likes. All you need to do, is remember that one password and possibly share it across multiple devices. You could put that keepass database on a CD or usb drive someone and just... forget about it until the day you need it if your codes never change.

That's... Weird. Usually when you place the order, it will say right then and there how much the tax is. It shouldn't suddenly change after the fact. That wording make it weird for sure. Maybe they means it in a "once you've filled all the boxes, the tax will show the proper number".
 
After entering my address, the estimated tax went from $3.50 to $11.98. Which is accurate for where I live (Canada).

I only clicked on the post because of the title.

Looking at the comment section... It seems people are mostly mad about the price and him saying "portable screen that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg" when it's over $800 (+89$ for the pen).... And the fact an ipad pro is about the same price, same resolution and doesn't need a computer to connect it to...
 
What they seems to be ignoring is the fact this is not just a touch screen portable monitor. It's a DRAWING portable screen.
"Designed for creatives, professionals and people who need to perform at their best, anywhere. " - their FAQ.
 
It's different from a regular touch screen.
It's made to compete with the likes of Wacom... which are even more expensive. Not the iPad.
https://estore.wacom.com/en-us/wacom-cintiq-pro-17-dth172k0a.html
The closest equivalent display is the Cintiq 17 Pro at $2.5k. 4k, 1.07B colors and 99% DCI-P3 colour space.
Basically the same display specs as the Espresso 17 (they claim 100% DCI-P3 but shortcircuit video says it's closer to 98). Which is less than half the price.
 
Maria made the comment that it wasn't as accurate as what she is used to. Now there's little to no available specs on the Apple Pen or iPas as far as precision points goes(or any other specs that matter, thanks Apple 🙄)... But the Espresso's pen is around 4000 precision points while the wacom is double that at 8192 . Looking at reviews online, it seems like the ipad pro with an apple pen is close to Wacom on that side of things. Which could explain her thoughts on that matter as far as precision goes.
 
My only complaint with that video, is that they pretend like it's just for Mac with that title. It is why I hadn't even watched it in the first place because I wasn't interested in a product for Apple computers.
But it also is compatible with Windows. Which they did not mention once in the video.
Had they made this video showcasing it as a drawing tablet on your Windows PC instead of pushing the ridiculous "touchscreen for Mac" narrative, it probably would've worked better.
 
Overall, bad execution. But it doesn't mean it isn't worth the price for what you get. Especially if you're not deep in the Apple Eco-system and want to add a "creative" display with a touchscreen to your Windows computer for design work. Amateur or semi pro.

Ah yes, how dare these shady browsers change default settings...
 
Any other app you will see a screen popup asking if you want to make that your default app. But browsers? Nope. You need to manually configure it. It's bullshit.

I don't see what all excitement is about. It's not like it's a once in a lifetime event.
 

We usually at least have 2 choices in most places (not fake choices where they pretend to serve an area for the FTC when they only have connectivity to a single house in the entire block, like what we hear about US ISPs).
Along with third party resellers who resell the same packages for slightly cheaper in exchange for less support.
 
 
Honestly I'm just surprised you could keep a cloud recording for that long in the first place. Personally, I haven't had a TV service in my home for the past 4 years. Haven't felt the need for it, everything is available on the internet anyway.

We understand and accept feedback on LMG videos but there is point where the conversation detracts from the OP.

Hard to consider what took place if you don't know (and you don't).

As for the appropriateness of the joke, we've always been PG / PG-13. I don't think there's really gonna be an overall change there. A self-deprecating joke about one's own promiscuity/infidelity is well in-bounds, and watching that get turned into trivializing sexual harassment has been bizarre to behold. Projection is for watching movies, not posting in forums.

Why is it that whenever something happens to some random e-celebrity, suddenly we can't make any jokes at all or risk getting cancelled...
I have no clue who this minecrafter is. Never heard of them. Nor do I care. There are women getting assaulted every day in the world, why is this particular event worthy of "too soon" and not the million others?
Just because you happen to know of some recent event with someone you watch(ed), doesn't mean everyone else know of the same event as you.
To me the "recent event" involving LMG, was the whole Madison debacle that happened MONTHS ago, if not years at this point if you consider she left in december of 2021. Everything that may or may not have happened in other communities is inconsequential here, why even bring it up.
 
Saying a joke is "too soon" because of some recent event you know... Is entirely ridiculous simply based on the fact we are not a hive mind and we don't all know what you're thinking about.
If we go by that logic, it is ALWAYS too soon. Because someone out there either recently experienced it themselves or know someone who has.
Stop trying to gatekeep low level comedy. It's just that. Nothing more. Low taste for sure, but that's all it is. These bad sexual jokes have been the bread and butter of LTT since the start. This is nothing new.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

Maybe I didn't listen long enough (I'm at work), but I heard a joke about an affair, not harassment. 
 
You may still find that inappropriate in some way, but I think it's a big difference from harassment. I don't like the way we casually toss some of these terms around these days. It lessens the meaning.
 

Utter BULL SHIT. If you ask me. All these greedy companies are doing is giving me a reason to NOT buy their product.
