same as the title. The shitty mediatek card has stopped working and I cannot afford the Intel card

The arvox ax900 looks good to me and its around 9usd whereas the Intel card would cost me around 25usd

Is anyone else using it? I don't do any heavy online gaming, so the main usage is gonna be just for streaming and downloads

So I have an Asus tuf f15 and it has a mediatek wifi card. For those who don't know, it's a total piece of junk and it causes a ton of WiFi and Bluetooth issues

I've tried all the fixes and they only work temporarily. The most common suggestion is to just get the Intel card, but I cannot afford it rn

I don't do any heavy online gaming, and my main usage is gonna be for work/study, streaming, and downloading.

so the dogshit mediatek card has given up once again and so have I. All the temporary fixes that kind of used to work are not working anymore and I can't afford the intel card rn

I saw that the usb adapter is a cheaper option so I was wondering what kind of entry level one should I get?

I don't really do heavy online gaming and my usage is mostly gonna be for study/work, streaming and downloads

I'm completely fed up with the mediatek card and no matter what I do, it never fixes it. I watched a fix on YouTube and it actually worked for a couple of months but now its back again

I would have already thrown this card away and got the Intel one if I could afford it. Is there anything else I can do?

I'm tired

I thought I was making some progress. I was trying to keep myself busy so that I could leave behind the constant daydreaming and making up scenarios in my head.

But I had a dream last night. It was my crush from high school and it was one of those dreams where you wake up annoyed that it wasn't real.

I only remember some of the details, like it always is with dreams I guess. I think we were in our school's track field or something like that, and I was only seeing her from the side all the time and she was smiling. Our knees were touching and I could tell she was ok with it

The last time I talked to her was the beginning of high school, and I'm in college now so it's been a few years.

It's just frustrating to think that I've absolutely no control over these feelings. I tried hard but I couldn't stop myself from looking her up on instagram. But not just her, it got worse when I looked up another girl who was kind of getting viral due to her pic with a medal, not sure if you guys saw it but anyway.

I'm back to where I was because of one stupid dream

I don't want to waste my time on dumb shit like this. I'm not saying that getting attracted to someone is wrong, it's bound to happen but it gets dangerous when "just looking" turns into engaging with their posts to having a one sided relationship with that random person.

I don't want to be that desperate guy who thinks he's in a relationship with a random girl he saw on the internet

I'm back to where I was because of one stupid dream

This has been on my mind ever since I got back from the said trip.

A couple of months ago I went to my first ever boy's trip, and while overall it was alright, I just had very different expectations from it.

I've already made a post about this before but I thought I should ask about it on this sub as well.

There were 3 of us and basically both of them were constantly texting their girlfriends. On the bus ride to our destination, in the evening when we would come back to our room. One of the guys was at least understanding but the other one just didn't give a fuck.

I know they don't owe me their time or attention, and normally I'm completely ok with it. But this was supposed to be a boy's trip, which they planned, AND invited me to come along.

I didn't ask them to completely ignore their partners for the entire duration of the trip, which was just 4 days, I simply asked them to cut back on it

I've lost several friendships over the guy getting a girlfriend and changing his priorities and I'm honestly ok with it at this point. That's just how it is.

I still feel like its rude to do that when you've made plans with someone and simply saying "they don't owe you anything" is just a lazy excuse for that kind of behaviour

A couple of months ago, I (22M) went on a trip with 2 of my friends, D and S (both 22M)

I don't know if this is relevant but I feel like I should mention it still. I've never been in a relationship or even had a one on one convo with a girl. I've met their girlfriends and they were nice. I've got nothing against them and I hope the feeling is mutual.

We were travelling by bus and I was really looking forward to it. They were both continously texting with their girlfriends, and looking up once in a while to talk to me. D kind of understood that I was feeling left out but S didn't really care. He would keep saying "yeah in a minute" but never actually closing the chat and putting his phone down. He finally stops and puts his phone down, only because his girlfriend went to bed. It was late so we also slept till we reached our destination and that was the end of our bus ride.

Out of the 4 days of the trip, 2 of them were ruined due to rain, so we mostly walked around town and didn't get to do anything. At this point, I was already used to them glued to their girlfriends all the time, mostly S because D was at least aware of what was happening and tried to spend time with me. I remember how I was looking forward to staying up late on the first because rain had ruined our plans for that day. But after dinner, as we got back to our room, they quickly get in bed, almost weirdly quick, got under their blankets and started scrolling instagram/talking to their girlfriends. I was just sick and tired from begging for their attention so I just went to bed. They did that for both nights when it rained for those days. I honestly couldn't care less on the other 2 nights when the weather was clear and we got to go on our trek. But regardless, they pulled the same shit on those nights as well.

The trip had been decent but I eventually got in a fight with S.

On one of the days when it was raining, D had been feeling sick so he stayed in. I was out with S, and of course he trying to talk to me and text at the same time. I had enough and I started to give him the cold shoulder. When we got back to our room, I even mocked him by acting surprised that he's not talking to his girlfriend. S snaps and says to D "why the fuck does he get to tell us how we should act?" and he kind of ignores me for a while. He eventually cooled down and we were good.

There was another instance which bothered me but I didn't call out S for that. It happened before our fight actually. He was looking at directions on his phone when he gets a notification from his girlfriend, saying "call me when you get back to your room".

I think this was really rude and inconsiderate to us tbh. It felt like she was just completely ignoring the fact that he's on a trip us. I felt weird after reading that message so I didn't bring it up. It wasn't even an emergency, she just wanted to talk and I was feeling so unimportant after that.

AITBF for calling out my friends?

A couple of months ago, I (22M) went on a trip with 2 of my friends, Dan and Steve (both 22M)

I don't know if this is relevant but I feel like I should mention it still. I'm technically an incel, but not the woman hating kind. I've never been in a relationship before, or even talk to a girl irl. I've met my friends' girlfriends and they're nice. I've got nothing against them.

We were travelling by bus and I was really looking forward to it. They were both continously texting with their girlfriends, and looking up once in a while to talk to me. D kind of understood that I was feeling left out but S didn't really care. He would keep saying "yeah in a minute" but never actually closing the chat and putting his phone down.

AITAH for calling out my friends?

I'm gonna give my example. The first sitcom I ever watched was Big Bang Theory and I loved it. I understand all the criticism it gets but at this point its my guilty pleasure. Then I watched The Office and I love it too, but after these 2, I just can't get into anything else

I tried Modern Family and while I liked it in the beginning, I stopped watching it twice, right around the same point both times (S5)

I had the same issue with Brooklyn 99, just stopped watching it at some point multiple times

And with IASIP, I enjoy parts of it, and I laugh really hard at some jokes, but I'm still not completely hooked to it

I feel like watching BBT and the office made me look out for the same style of humour and relatable characters.

I read about how some people prefer to watch the same show because they know whats gonna happen and it's comforting which could be another reason why I basically keep switching between these 2

More specifically, I've been watching It's Always Sunny for a while now and I'm on S4

I laugh at some of the jokes but I just can't get entirely into it, if that makes sense. And honestly it's the most annoying thing ever when I kind of have to get myself to watch an episode but end up pausing it a couple of times to laugh

It's like an itch I just can't scratch. Have you ever been "stuck" like this?

I wanted to share my thoughts after watching it and I'm gonna try covering all the points that I've got on my mind rn.

I feel like I picked it up at the right time because I've been recently getting more into music after only listening to mainstream hip hop. It was really cool to see the record store for the first time and I had never tried jazz before but it made me check out Art Blakey which I really liked.

The musical aspect is more prominent in the first few episodes and it later focuses more on the drama side. I understand that some people expected it to be more focused on the music side of things but overall it's more of a drama/romance than a musical and honestly I feel like they balanced it really well, at least for my tastes and what I was expecting from this show.

And all the main cast is so realistic and relatable, especially Kaoru. I also used to get insecure if any of the guy I talked to was hanging out with someone else because I've lost a lot of friends that way.

It might have the typical high school drama setting, and maybe I just haven't watched enough shows, but the story kept going in a completely different direction and I couldn't tell how it's gonna end.

That entire arc with Junichi was so well done. I didn't like him in the beginning cuz Sen looked up to him like an older brother and yet he still went after his crush. I still feel bad for Sen though, Yurika just wasn't interested in him and I guess he kinda fumbled it by being awkward around her.

There are still some things I didn't understand completely. Ri had a crush on Sen but he was interested in Yurika. I guess she was already insecure enough and Sen being completely oblivious turned her away. She kind of started feeling for Kaoru but things were awkward and in the end Kaoru just sabotaged it by saying he was happy Sen left.

I may be wrong but my understanding is that she felt for both, but she was too worried when Sen left I guess and she couldn't bring herself to be with Kaoru when the situation was like that, and obviously Kaoru's comment hurt her as well. Kaoru left for college so that was the end of that potential relationship.

Also, I'm not entirely sure why Sen left in the first place. I know he didn't really had anything going on for him in that town and he wasn't interested in finishing school anyway. Also, with his father coming back, his siblings had someone to provide and look after them, so he finally had the option of just leaving and clear his head. Maybe he also thought about giving Ri and Kaoru some space so they could be together.

The ending was bittersweet for me. I wish they had a conversation for some closure. I'm assuming Ri became a teacher and got married as well.

It was kind of sad as well. It was very clear that Kaoru wasn't exactly passionate about going to medical school but he still ended up doing it because of his father, and with Sen leaving and things not working out with Ri, it just felt like he had to do it so he could move on from all of it.

Kaoru spent 8 years of college just like he used to before moving to that High School, and although Sen was doing what he liked, it just felt like he was also lonely, same with Ri but we don't see enough of her at the end.

But in the end they were just happy to see each other and all of that didn't matter anymore

Amazing show, made me tear up a little at times. 9/10
