Which ink looks better?

Hi! Which ink looks better, I can't decide. The first one is Uni Jetstream, the second is Pilot Acroball.

Which search engine should I use?

Hi! I want to use a new search engine (instead of Google), which one should I use:

Brave

DuckDuckGo

Startpage

I need a fasr, secure, and accurate search engine, which isn't collecting user's data and gives good search results (like Google).

Thanks for advice!

Jetstream refill problems

Hi everyone! I have a Uni Jetstream 217 that originally wrote really smoothly and with a nice, darker blue line (similar to the writing shown in the first picture). However, after using it for a while, the ink started coming out noticeably lighter (as shown in the second picture), and it’s starting to bother me.

For clarification: the pen in the first picture is actually a Jetstream 101, because I didn’t have another way to show how my 217 originally wrote. The writing was very similar.

Does anyone know what could cause the Jetstream 217 to start writing lighter?

Is Pilot Acroball refill a better choice, or should I stick with the original Jetstream?

I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations! I’m mainly looking for something that writes blue darker, 0.7 mm, smooth and consistently without becoming lighter after some use.

Thanks!

Extending screens

Is that normal, when I extend screens (I have 2 monitors), I hear 2 beeps (like when I unplag and plug an USB) – I think it's the monitor (because I had similar problem). With my previous setup, there wasn't this problem.

So it's normal, or not?

My main monitor is MSI G272QPF E2 (180 Hz) and the second monitor is Asus (144 Hz).

GPU: 3060 Ti

Pen problems

Hi everyone!

I've been writing with a 0.7 mm ballpoint refill (for a reusable pen). I've noticed that, as shown in picture 1, it starts out writing with great ink flow and a nice, consistent line, making it very comfortable to use. However, by around the 6th page (picture 2), it starts writing as if it's running out of ink—the lines become much lighter and the ink flow becomes inconsistent.

This is really frustrating because I'm looking for a refill that writes with consistent line thickness and ink intensity from start to finish.

I've also tried a 1.0 mm refill, and I haven't experienced this issue with it. It writes beautifully, but it's a bit too thick for my A5 notebook. I'd really prefer to use a 0.7 mm refill.

I've been dealing with this problem for years. What should I do?

I've attached a photo of the refills I use (the first and the last one). Sometimes even brand-new 0.7 mm refills barely write at all, as if they were already running out of ink (the first two in the photo).

What 0.7 mm ballpoint refills do you use, and which ones would you recommend?

USB disconnect/reconnect sound after hybernation

Hi all, hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this.

For the past few days, whenever I wake my PC from hibernation, I hear one or two beep sounds — the same sound Windows makes when you unplug a USB device.

Around the same time, a yellow warning triangle notification popped up in the notification area, but I accidentally dismissed/hid it before reading what it said.

How can I solve this problem? What causes it?

Monitor wont turn on

I have dual monitor setup, I have extended screens on win 11. If I hibernate my PC, and then I turn it on, my main monitor (MSI connected via display port) turns on (white light), than writes no signal and it turns off (orange light).

But the second monitor turns on without any problem (Asus, with display port). So I need to turn off the MSI monitor manually and then turn it on, after this it works.

How to fix that?
