The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Okay, quick check confirmed that the new mouse and the old mouse both work as well as they previous did in his set-up. Just not in mine. Whoopee.
So that means I do have to start looking into replacement options. As well as how to pay for those replacement options.
Basically done all I can to test and try to fix without sticking the mouse in brother's computer to see if it works there, which is waiting because he's out of the house and doing stuff. So guess we'll see on that front in some number of hours.
... Maybe. Because the new mouse that I have to replace the old mouse that was slowly failing that I got because the touchpad built-in mouse feels like garbage to use isn't working. The light comes on when it's plugged in but it don't do shit.
However, the external fan thingy that I picked up...
Back when I got it I was still like that, so I got the model that was being discontinued and got a discount because it was the literal last one, a display model. So it was probably not the best around even then.
Windows 8.1, 64bit, 2 core 2.16ghz processor, 4gb RAM, 400+gb storage. I think I...
Laptop may be reaching the end of its lifespan.
If so, it's been like ten years, so not surprising... but I agonize over having to spend money on things like a dollar store coffee maker or new headphones.
Yep, I think I've actually looked into that one off and on again, lol.
Iirc, lady wants to put her mind in the loli, doesn't understand that she's doing magical brain copy/paste instead of cut and paste, lmao.
Heh. That's the one with the queen trapped in her going-out disguise and her fraternal twin brother that never shows up in the plot covering for her as queen?
I haven't read it but I came across a synopsis at some point.
Ironically, I did just invest in a nice mop that can replace the sponge at the head when it wears out and which has a solid stiff scrubby brush component included.
Sinus pressure plus wisdom tooth that needs to come out plus maybe an earache is a nice combination of individual small irritations that compound with each other.
Also a fun way to discover that the aspirin's expired.
I found something broadly accurate in 'Self Employed' subcategory 'Arts and Recreation' which would apply to a lot of my family historically why did I even go to college.
The 'And Recreation' just makes me feel like I may have accidentally low key told my bank 'Hey, uh, don't spread it around...
Today was 'What is your job? We promise this is important.'
I usually just slap 'Unemployed' because I don't have a real job so that's basically accurate, but they now have subdivisions of unemployment. 'You on disability? You did good in a divorce? Swear to god this is really important, tell...
Every so often the bank pulls some nonsense with a 'wait just a moment' thing before I can get into my account and put an exact number to what's there. Sometimes it's simple 'Are you still using the same phone?' shit. Sometimes it's 'Hey, we no longer let you look at everything through this URL...
