Ordered a China Nubia z60 ultra but unfortunately seller included a fake charger head that tops out at 19w,so what brands are trustworthy nowadays to buy at least a 45-65w charger head from? Preferably EU/UK plug?or even 80w if brands offer at that wattage

so my issue is that on youtube pc,there is a option to download videos inside the site itself,where it does whatever it does to keep videos downloaded within the browser,hence when u open youtube on pc in any browser,it behaves like a half native app and all that

now my issue is that recently,the browser i normally use,edge,suddenly slowed down then crashed whilst trying to open a offline video,so now whenever i try to open a offline video,the website will cause the entire browser to slow down(sometimes even the pc gets affected by this),then eventually throw up a "page is unresponsive,would you like to close it?", so now before i decide to nuke the whole browser afresh,any ideas on how to fix it?

For ref:

- to those that will wonder and probably ask,"why download when u can stream the videos any time?" i stay in a country that has kak ISPs,which can and will randomly just shut themselves off for a good week,(with no good reason for such btw),then come back,forcing me to do this method of saving videos offline for my studies on my laptop,uni wifi aint much help either when u have a lazy administration that cant make the wifi accomodate large traffic of students with decent streaming speeds anywhere on the campus

-"why not just directly download onto your phone?", i download videos onto my pc cause thats where i do all my work,phone will distract me

how can i setup mw2 lan play in 2026 nowadays with laptops while avoiding desync?

ok so me and 2 of my friends wanna play some mw2 on lan play,tho when we tried setting it up,using some youtube guides,we had some desync issues(where some shots wouldnt register on the other players)

so any ideas on how we can fix that?entirely new to lan play stuff as we mostly used with the usual split screen gaming on the xbox360/ps4 days

for reference the laptops dont have ethernet ports so we only use a portable router(mifi) and all of them are i5 8th-10th gen laptops with 16gb ram except one that uses 8gb ram

is the phone worth getting in 2026?i read on reviews that the phone would heat up quickly if you are a gamer,is it true or???

Ok so I have a few questions regarding oneplus phones and colorOS(specifically china region phones)

I wanted to import a oneplus ace 2 pro,but after doing a bit of researching and ai summary from forums,I want to ask those who may have gotten this phone or similar phones before such as the ace 6 for example

-does colorOS really block/lock you out of using your sim network?or is it just something ai spoofed up on me?(from the ai : "Users report that inserting a non-Chinese SIM card frequently triggers cellular lockouts after a few days or weeks" )

-how bad is the bloatware?are there some system bloatware you genuinely cant remove or all of them can be disabled?

-is the delayed notification issue big on colorOS,or its simple to fix like other brands?

-can the ai on the phone be fully used in English/replaced with something like gemini?

Ok so I decided to make this post to help people in future know what they will be getting into when using patumba for savings,so i'll just review on the Savings and investment part of the app,a bit of app in general,and their customer service

Note that I was mostly using it with mobile money(mtn)so it may differ between networks,and with bank cards

The Good(The design and automaton of the app):

In my time of using the app,its honestly been a very good well automated app,which in my view of things honestly doesn't have any human input at all in the stuff that you do on it,you can deposit/withdraw at nearly anytime of the day from your balance to your mobile money,balance is updated very quickly so I didn't worry about my money not appearing on the account,everything is placed well and wont confuse you much on where to press to get the stuff you want done,you can easily track your funds and login is honestly ok,but I hate that the app spams you to use different security stuff constantly(where i have already setup biometrics for the app to use my face to login,yet it will spam me to also setup a pin code each time i open it,like aint biometrics supposed to be the highest level of security?)also they dont really put full details of what happens when you use a feature(like the savings objective)which i'll get to later in the read,the investment features are also good,tho you need to be mindful of how much you will put in,cause you cannot add more as it grows

The bad(customer service and lack of full details of features)

If theres one thing patumba has honestly failed and really needs to improve,its their customer service,its very poor in getting you the stuff you need,which leads back to what I said about the savings objectives/goal feature,the app doesn't give you full details of each feature you will use even as a new user,I started a savings goal from last year,when you start one,you can set a maturity date,and the savings get locked away so you cant touch them,but can add more to them whilst they also add on interest of you saving up,now when you reach the maturity date,u have the option to withdraw everything or if you haven't reached the savings goal,continue it by depositing more money into it,however they did not specify fully that when you continue it,you cant adjust the maturity date,which is what caught me as a first time user,and hence has locked me out of my money until the new maturity date

So now what are you supposed to do when you want to get your money?,you apply for a early withdrawal,which invokes a 10% deduction from your money,which i can accept,but this is where their customer service is very poor,they can tell you the steps you need to do(which is submitting your details to their email and saying your reason for a early withdrawal)but its like theres barely any human presence at all for their customer service,cause I have been trying to get them to apply this for a good 2 weeks now,I was first told wait 48hrs within 5 days for this to take effect,I waited,nothing,I tried calling them,their phone never goes through,it immediately cuts when ringing,WhatsApp seems to be dead as well,so your only option is their live service chat in the app,but its like when they realise you want to do a early withdrawal,they start to ghost you and take ages to get a response,and when you do,they start asking for a ticket number,which you have already provided before,then say they will work on it,or have it solved soon,but nothing happens,and you repeat this process, as of making this i am still trying to get my early withdrawal applied

So now,honestly if you are reading this,personally if you want a app that can help you save up money up to a certain point,patumba is a good choice because of the lock down on the money so you don't get tempted to withdraw during those injury weeks each time,and dont want to let others know of how much savings you may have(say your kids if they touch your phone often,or family that can tempt u to spend the money without thought),however be wary of the current poor customer service and always ask about a feature before you jump into it because of how they lack giving users full details of the features,which can be very costly especially if you planning with the money to cover important stuff(say a wedding)

You can correct me in the comments or add on in your experiences with the app🙏

To those that use not well known phone brands like oneplus,redmi,xiaomi etc.,how did you import your phone?especially if your phone is a china model?(these ones that dont have play store stuff automatically enabled)been thinking of going the aliexpress route,but looks like import fees will catch my phone there

Planning to get one in future months time to install in a optiplex 5070 sff,does the gpu really perform the same or like a 5% lower?just wanna be gaming in a console like experience(1080p,low to medium graphics settings and a locked 30fps or 60 for older games)

Pretty much the title,a friend showed me a few deals hes been finding on ebay for gaming laptops he wanted to maybe get then resell/use,but i advised him not to since there wasn't any ram and storage but marked working in the ones he saw,do you think its ideal to get such laptops?or is it too big of a risk?

Any prostreet vets know a good car for drags?I have been following a guide from this youtuber called marcy2000,apparently the 350z does meet what I want,but I have no idea how the youtuber is getting the car to go -6 secs in 1/4 drag,even with skipping gears,so anyone know a good car that can at least carry me to endgame that aint a supercar?

For context,I am doing a replay of all the 3D era GTA games until GTA V,so forgive me for referring gta v in the sub,but to those that also played it through,is it just me or did the driving AI in GTA 3 behave the same way in GTA V?

I would find that especially whenever taking the porter tunnels,traffic would just randomly switch lanes,especially into yours,so if you're doing missions like D-ice "rigged to blow" or asukas "espresso 2 go"(N.B I do Staunton-shoreside-portland)or just travelling through,they would randomly switch into your lane just as u get close to them,making u hit them and damaging the car you use(especially when using high speed cars like cheetah or banshee)

I feel like this was a rockstar thing to do,as in GTA V the same happens,tho it would be rarely, but its there,just to piss players off,and it worked,so I thought maybe it started generations back and was just ignored until recently

pc specs are

Celeron N4500

8gb ram (single slot)

ssd equipped and uses UHD Graphics

windows 10 ltsc

so using a youtube video guide,i found a way to force this game to run on 2c/2t cpu using .dll injector,using dx11,game was running around 10-20 fps ,fluctuating constantly,then i played around using dxvk and dxvk config file settings,along with manually reducing rendering resolution(to 90%),which allowed me to reach this amount of fps to even 30 fps as seen at 720p(yet to try to go to more gpu intensive areas)however its causing this texture issue,so any idea how i can fix this ?

this is whats active in the dxvk.conf file

dxvk.numComplierThreads=2

dxgi.syncInterval = 2

d3d9.presentInterval = 1

dxvk.tilerMode = True

d3d11.maxFeatureLevel = 11_1

d3d11.relaxedBarriers = False

d3d11.relaxedGraphicsBarriers = True

d3d11.forceVolatileTgsmAccess = True

d3d11.samplerAnisotropy = 1

d3d9.samplerAnisotropy = 1

d3d11.samplerLodBias = 0.7

d3d9.samplerLodBias = 0.7

d3d11.disableMsaa = True

d3d11.forceVolatileTgsmAccess = True

d3d11.forceComputeUavBarriers = True

dxvk.zeroMappedMemory = False

d3d11.cachedDynamicResources = "vicra"

d3d11.disableDirectImageMapping = False

d3d11.exposeDriverCommandLists = True

d3d11.reproducibleCommandStream = False

d3d9.reproducibleCommandStream = True

dxvk.enableGraphicsPipelineLibrary = True

dxvk.enableDescriptorBuffer = False

dxvk.trackPipelineLifetime = True

dxvk.enableMemoryDefrag = True

dxvk.maxMemoryBudget = 6144

dxgi.maxFrameRate = 30

d3d9.maxFrameRate = 30

d3s9.invariantPosition = True

dxvk version used : 1.9.3

another thing to note is that the game throws a unsupported gpu driver error,saying my gpu driver(latest one available),is not supported,yet it says it needs newer drivers,and they are the newest,any one that knows dxvk in windows to show me what i can do to fix it?and share what config settings are useful for more performance?

looking for a live currency convertor that simply converts the currency on a page to my country's currency,not manually doing it,it should just be automatic,no input required,i used to have one that just worked,but it decided to nuke itself

Specs(laptop)

i5-1035g1

Nvidia MX230 2gb

8gb ram(dual channel 4x2)

Ssd equipped

Win10 ltsc

Ok so,its a laptop that I recently picked up,but for some reason,even on a clean windows 10 install,games either dont use the gpu fully(it sits around 20-40% utilisation)or performance is very different compared to how it should perform as seen in game benchmarks,and the temps seem fine for the design choices in the laptop,(dell inspiron 3593,uses a single heat pipe,but everything stays a manageable 70-80°c)its been repasted before 2 months prior according to the previous owner

The games I tested so far

-Assassin's Creed Black flag

-NFS Rivals

-Watch Dogs 2

-GTA V

All these games i have tested so far only make the gpu use 20-40% of itself,I have tried everything i can think of so far,so idk if there is something I have to turn on to get the gpu to work or what
