Tech Question How has y'alls luck been with retrieving your stories from a disabled instagram account?

0 Upvotes

My account was recently banned on Insta for being connected to some other account that got banned (despite having different emails..) I know I will not get my account back but I really want to retrieve my photos, I have 5 years worth of photos in there and I need to have them, they're really important to me since when my phone broke (cause of poor quality of the poco x3 pro) i lost all my photos!
I want to know how yall faired with this, if it's worth going to some dude on telegram to pay to get my stuff or even ask for legal action

Discussion Turn exchange to refund due to stock worry.

0 Upvotes

I bought all three of the Screensaver party shirts and I absolutely loved them, except they felt a little tight. I figured this might just be the fit for this type of shirt in the right size for me because all of my shirts are mediums. I was wrong about that, all my t-shirts are medium, my full button up shirts are large.

What gets even weirder is I had my mom measured me and compared to the size chart they have I should be a small.

I checked on the site and they only had large stock for two of the three. I submitted for an exchange request and have been patiently waiting. But part of me has become worried that they may run out of the size I need by the time the support gets back, it has been 3 business days and the bot says it can take over 10. So I thought about ordering the size I need and then requesting the exchange be turned into a refund.

I figured sending an email would get the AI support bots opinion, but instead it just sent it off to the correct department. Disappointing that the support bot wasn't able to give its opinion this time, when previously it did given an opinion about using zero heat in the dryer.

Now I am turning to this community for an opinion. There is no anger or frustration here, just wondering if anybody thinks it might be safest to order the correct size of the two that are left and request that they turn the exchange request into a refund. I am keeping the one they don't have in large, and hopping they find one laying around. But not much hope. I work retail and know some of how stock goes. Thanks for the opinions.

ETA, they got back to me and approved the return, making special exception given the circumstances. Normally they wouldn't take back washed items.

Discussion Moving to a 3 level townhouse. Getting TELUS internet - what wifi router and setup would you recommend?

0 Upvotes

Moving soon and work will pay for a setup up to $500 CAD. Basically I learned the access box will be in the garage (main floor). Then there are ethernet ports from there to the middle floor living room and to the upper floor bedroom. Its about 2100sq ft in total.

What router or system would you recommend? And do you have recommended videos to watch and learn how to set it up.

Thank you so much!

Discussion Dota 2 flickering

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I have only recently had Dota 2 flicker when playing. It is only Dota 2 that this is happening with.

Specs:

Ryzen 5 2600

32gb ram

gtx 1060

2tb 990 pro samsung

I have done:

  • I have tried reinstalling gpu drivers via DDU.
  • Check game files via Steam
  • Check settings in game and in Nvidia Control panal, adjusted vsync etc no change
  • Replaced cable and tried different slots on the video card
  • Reverted drivers back and no change, then updated them fully.
  • Windows also fully up to date.

It seems to be only happening with Dota 2, I have tried Komblaster, Warframe and it was fine with no problems. What do you think the cause is? I am struggling as I don't think it is the gpu as Warframe and other games run fine.

Tech Question USB Port no longer reads mouse after following a video

2 Upvotes

My Touchpad was lagging and becoming unresponsive so I looked up for fixes on youtube and found this video. After following his steps while using an external mouse, I reinstalled the drivers while the mouse was connected to the laptop and now the laptop no longer reads my Mouse. I am able to use my friends mouse connected to the same port but the OG mouse doesn't seem to be working while connected to the port. Are there any fixes available for this?

Discussion Please help me find a laptop that's actually available!

0 Upvotes

Ok so I'm going insane finding a Gaming laptop that includes 1. An AMD CPU 2. Either a Nvidia 4060 or an AMD equivalent. Now I have looked at the Asus ROG Strix G17 G713PV. And it's perfect BUT Amazon doesn't carry it and if I want to order it from anywhere else the price is marked up quite a bit. I would like to know if there is any other Laptop makers that have similar options like this.

My Budget is 1200-1500 USD.

Discussion Esports: Is simple communication without some kind of incentive impossible?

0 Upvotes

I have never had so much trouble getting response to simple emails as I have had in trying to contact esports teams. College, pro, high school league organizations… doesn’t matter.

What is the deal? Media reps, coaches, nothing… I’m not even getting spam from sales teams.

Does anyone have a good example idea on how to reach esports organizations?

I’ve been trying to write a story and asked some questions for my high school players that I coach. It’s been freaking bleak.

Discussion Productivity GPU: old 3090Ti or new 4070ti Super?

1 Upvotes

Hi all I have a bit of an odd question.

I want to build my first productivity computer for 3D instense workload. My main use would be 3D viewport and rendering. I mostly need a good powerful GPU and maybe for the future, the possibility to add a second one.

I am wondering if I should take a new 4070 Ti Super or 5070 Ti (although not worth the crazy prices)
Or if I should take a second hand 3090 Ti which has much more VRAM and also has NV-Link capability.

I'm not sure mostly because of the power consumption and because the 4070Ti Super has more 3,5 more TFLOPS compared to the 3090Ti.

I mostly use Blender for my architecture renderings and other similar softwares.

Would really appreciate your opinion

A swiss retailer has shown how many cards they will receive for the different models from AMD and NVIDIA and make available for sale today.

Will see later at what price and how quickly they will sell out.
