What is the song called in This video? I recorded it.

I was in an electronic store and heard this song. You may need to turn it up a bit. The song is ending but I heard the lyrics “i just want the truth everytime i walk away i still come back to you”

Epson ET-2876 printer doesn't connect to windows 11 lenovo

I've had an old version of the ecotank for ages and loved it (epson L380) and I've been straddled with a cheap XP 2205 that I don't care particularly for so I decided to upgrade and get a new ecotank. I got the ET-2876. I set it all up. I'm very used to epson models. I can do maintenance with my eyes closed. I finish the setup of this new printer, hit "print test page" and nothing comes ...

Are there people who regularly buy laptops off Amazon? Is it reliable?

I'm a bit scared such bug purchases on Amazon but sometimes Amazon has more diverse laptop options than the regular electronics stores I go to.

Travel through Thailand w/DJI drone(s) on my person or checked bag inquiry

Good evening, I will be taking a break from work for 36 months or so starting in July 2026 & my first destination is Thailand. My onward flight is to Ho Chi Minh City (my POE/POD is BKK). After reviewing the prerequisites to fly drones recreationally in Thailand, that the airspace for them is minimal &/or highly restricted, & due to ongoing geopolitical reasons… I will h...

My father got scammed out of nearly 4 l.

My 80 year old father got calls from a scammer woman who ended up using social engineering to convince him that she was “upgrading” his Axis Bank card benefits (yeah, I know). Not only did my dad end up giving his CC as well as CVV (yeah, I know) he also gave the OTP 10 times, for each transaction that was being made unknown to him. Multiple big value purchases including at big electronics sto...

Is this sound normal?

Hi, I've just bought my first non-random mousepad (normally I was buying the first one on discount in local electronics stores, like Razer Gigantus or cheapest QcK). After searching for recommendations for a good one under $25 on aliexpress, I chose ATK Kong xsoft. It recently arrived, the first impressions were very good, the feeling is premium comparing to the ones I was using, but the problem ...

The Landgraab Paradox — A Royalty & Legacy Inspired Lore Theory

With the recent release of The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy, I’ve been thinking a lot about dynasties in The Sims universe — and honestly, no family embodies legacy quite like the Landgraabs. What started as a simple thought experiment turned into something much bigger. The more I connected clues across games, the more I realized: the Landgraabs might not just be wealthy… they might be ...

Entropy in Blue

“What happened to Grandma and Grandpa?” my little sister asks, clutching her teddy bear. Susie’s sun-bronzed face is scrunched, a prelude to tears.    “I don’t know,” my mother replies, her sun-ravaged countenance struggling for serenity beneath her ever-greying tresses. “I called the police, but they have no new information. Maybe the two of ’em took off on a sudden vacation.�...

I scored! I think so anyway..

Stumbled across this resale electronics store called PayMore.Thought the price was wrong at first, but it was correct. Was built in July 25 so pretty new still. I figured go for it. Store was chill and was able to trade a couple things in as well. They had a few more PC's as well. Link to PC if anyone's curious. https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Prebuilt-PC-GML-99733

Tired of shady "deal" sites? Here's my actual 3-step process for finding legit savings on everyday items (saved $250+ this quarter) 💸

I'm so over seeing "70% off!" banners only to find out the original price was totally fake, or it's actually cheaper on another site *without* a "sale." It feels like most discounts nowadays are just marketing fluff designed to make us feel like we're getting a steal when we're often just paying regular price. Lately, I've started spending some serious time actually digging in...

S10 FE to S10 ultra trade in value proposition

At an electronics store, the S10 Ultra is $1049 (half price) until the end of February.I bought my S10 FE in may last year for $809 AUD I don't have many major complaints with the FE aside from some minor lag when using split screen apps and large notes and word, and e...

Spent 2 weeks cross-referencing 5 major retailers for a new TV: (Found it for 25% less by combining two specific browser extensions) 🔍

Is anyone else completely fed up with seeing "deals" that are anything but? You know, the ones where the "original price" is clearly inflated, or the "sale" price is actually higher than what it was selling for a month ago. It drives me crazy, and it feels like a waste of time sifting through all that noise. I've been on a personal mission lately to cut through the m...

Mall Jewelry Store Alarm System?

Hello! I am not a security professional, however I would appreciate some advice from someone who is. I currently work in a small, family-owned fine jewelry store in a mall, and recently my coworker and I are concerned that we may have people casing us. Very suspicious individuals have come in on days when we work alone, and while we never discriminate here, they have a very particular way of phras...
