Guys, help needed here. I’m a novice when it comes to these things 😅

So this is the second time I’m experiencing this issue. The first time, I took the laptop to a technician who, from what I understood, fixed the BIOS and reinstalled Windows. It worked fine for a few days, and now we’re back here again.

What could be causing this? The battery is also pretty much dying, if that could be related.

Also, can anyone recommend a trusted laptop technician in cbd who actually knows their stuff, especially with BIOS/motherboard issues?

Any Leads or Opportunities? I’d Really Appreciate It

Hello guys, regarding my post yesterday,

https://www.reddit.com/r/Kenya/s/FB2Coi7Ihq

thank you everyone for the advice and insights. I really appreciate it.

So, I have a laptop and stable internet at home, but honestly, I don't really know which sites to use or where to start when it comes to earning online. If anyone can point me in the right direction or share some legit platforms I can look into, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I'm registered with the major online taxi hailing apps and have all the requirements, but getting a car to work with has been an uphill task. So if anyone knows of a partner looking for a driver, or perhaps has a car and is looking for someone to drive it, I'd really appreciate a referral.

Any leads or connections would mean a lot. Thank you!

Is 29 too late to rebuild my life from scratch?

Hello everyone, I really need some honest perspective and insight here.

Can a 29 year old man really start over, or is there still hope for me?

For context, I finished high school and, because of financial difficulties, I joined college three years later. Unfortunately, I eventually dropped out because I had started a business that was doing really well at the time and required most of my attention. I told myself I would focus on the business and go back to school later.

After about three years, I went back to school, but I dropped out again. I decided to take a break and focus fully on the business. Along the way, I got married, and now we have two children, one of whom is still an infant.

Things were going well for a while, but the business started struggling late last year, and eventually I had to close it down. I've now exhausted the savings I had built up, and honestly, I feel completely stuck.

I don't have any professional qualifications apart from my high school certificates. I also have a medical condition that is manageable, but it makes physically demanding work difficult. I've tried doing physical jobs before, but I couldn't sustain them.

My children are currently staying in the village, but one of them will need to start school soon, and that responsibility is weighing heavily on me.

I don't have many friends I can turn to, and the few I have are also dealing with their own struggles. I'm grateful that my wife has been working and has stood by me throughout all this, but honestly, I’ve started feeling like a burden to her. I feel like I've failed as a husband and as a father.

On top of all this, I struggle with phone addiction. I've tried quitting several times, but I keep falling back into the same cycle. Sometimes I spend hours on my phone when I know I should be looking for opportunities, learning something, or figuring out my next move. Then I feel guilty, which makes me withdraw even more.

The hardest part is that I don't even know where to start anymore.

I'm not necessarily looking for sympathy. I genuinely want advice from people who have been in a similar position. If you were 29, with no degree, no savings, a family depending on you, a failed business behind you, and limited options because of a health issue, what would you do?

I know 29 isn't old, but when you're in the middle of it, it feels like you've fallen so far behind that everyone else is already years ahead of you.

I'm trying to remind myself that maybe this isn't the end of my story, but I honestly need some direction.

If you've ever had to completely rebuild your life from a low point, I'd really appreciate hearing how you did it. What worked, what didn't, and what you wish you'd done differently.

I don't need someone to tell me that everything will magically be okay. I need to know what the first step should be.

Question about Home libraries

Hello everyone, I have a question. I see people posting their beautiful home libraries and it got me wondering, do y’all actually read all those books? Or do you first collect them and then read them over time? Or are some of them just decorative books? Because honestly, looking at some of these libraries, it looks like it would take years to get through all of them Forgive my ignorance.

How do I deal with this?

For those who have envious friends or have had them before, how did you deal with it?

I recently came to realize that someone I've been calling a friend is actually envious of me. I honestly don't know how I missed the signs because looking back, they were always there.

When my life and business were doing okay and his wasn't, he'd make subtle comments that I just brushed off. I also noticed that whenever things were going well for me, he never seemed genuinely happy. But now that things have started going downhill for me, it's like the guy is in a celebratory mood. Even the way he talks to me has changed. He speaks to me as if I don't have a brain of my own, and I've also realized he undermines me.

Another thing I've noticed is that whenever I tell him about something before it happens, it somehow ends up going horribly wrong. I noticed this even before things started going downhill for me. I know that could just be a coincidence, but it made me stop sharing things with him.

We've been friends for a very long time, but I think I'm finally ready to let the friendship go.

Has anyone else gone through something similar? How did you handle it? Did you confront them, slowly distance yourself, or just cut them off?

The cruelest part of growing up is realizing most people leave quietly

No goodbye. No explanation. One day they’re in your life every day, and then they just… aren’t.

You scroll through old texts, wondering what went wrong. You replay the last conversation like it holds some secret code you missed. But nothing ever really answers the question: Why didn’t I matter enough to even get a proper goodbye?

And the world doesn’t stop for your confusion. You still have to go to work. Reply to emails. Act like your chest doesn’t ache every time their name pops up in your memories.

What nobody tells you is that most people won’t leave during a fight. They’ll leave during peace. When you thought everything was fine. When you were laughing the last time you saw them.

And the worst part is you can’t even be mad. Because how do you blame someone for just… not loving you anymore?

What is a hidden chore you didn't realize you’d have to do until you actually moved out on your own?

Everyone talks about the big stuff like paying bills, cooking dinner, or keeping the place clean. But I feel like nobody ever warns you about the weird, specific tasks that just show up out of nowhere once you're the one in charge.

For me, it was realizing I actually had to clean my own coffee maker and dust the tops of the ceiling fan blades. Those are things I never even thought about when I was living with my parents, and suddenly it's 10:00 PM on a Friday and I'm scrubbing a machine I don't even fully understand.

What's a chore or a "random adult task" that caught you completely off guard once you started living by yourself?
