I attached some corner grips to my carpet since it kept slipping. It was the kind where you peel a tape on both sides (one sticks to the carpet, the other to the floor). Unfortunately, I need to move the carpet but it's stuck quite well onto the floor.

I'm pretty sure I can find a way to detach the carpet from the adhesive, but my concern is removing the adhesive attached to the wooden, varnished floor without damage or with the least possible damage. They're years old so I do expect some varnish peeling, but trying to mitigate how much comes off.

What's the best way I can go about this? Will soaking it with goo-gone help? I also have a hair drier if that helps to soften the adhesive. Which should I do first though?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

P.S. If it matters, they're somewhat thick wooden planks, not the hardest of wood, and on the second floor of the place.

Pretty much the title. I'm still confused with the difference in kickstarter rewards and booster box/boxes. I just found out about the 4 iconic secret cards (keen on the Sasha one, especially) and was wondering if I can only get them through beta booster boxes. Or can I also get them through retail ones later on?

My PC suddenly shut down and I wager there was a split second electricity surge due to heavy rains outside. For some reason my UPS didn't kick in. Everything else was fine though (my AC and router are still running, my monitor's light bar hooked up to my PC didn't turn off either).

Turned my PC on immediately and it seems fine. But for peace of mind, are there any commands I should run or things I should check on to make sure that everything is in order? I was just working with MS Word when it happened.

PSU is a Corsair SF1000. Should I be concerned about that either?

I haven't experienced such flickering electricity in a while, so I'm on guard especially with how expensive it was to build my rig (not to mention crazy prices on components these days). Thanks to anyone who can help!

EDIT: My UPS is a Prolink Pro2000SFCU 1200W/2000VA. It's not beeping or anything, but I swapped it out after this incident with my CyberPower CP1600EPFCLCD 1600VA/1000W which thankfully arrived about a week or two ago. Just wasn't able to do the switch immediately due to other pressing matters.

Link to my initial post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1vip6oi/aoc_q27g4slmws_has_anyone_tried_this_ips_mini_led/

After discovering the AOC Q27G4SLM/WS on Amazon, I decided to take a risk and purchase it since I've been desperate to upgrade for more than a year already and it ticked all boxes for me (Mini LED, IPS, 320hz, 1ms, among others).

However, I cancelled it shortly after since there is apparently a 360hz version, i.e, the Q27G4SLM6/WS (found a page about it here https://www.gizmochina.com/2026/06/16/aoc-q27g4slm6-ws-gaming-monitor-launched-specs-price/)

I'm from SEA so I checked a popular e-commerce platform here and luckily enough AOC has an online store there, shipping from China.

I did find some more pages about the SLM6, but unfortunately they were all in Chinese so I can't understand if it's just the refresh rate where the SLM and SLM6 differ.

Thought I'd share it here in case someone can share more about these monitors.

I can’t find much about Joya Lofts and Towers here on Reddit. Google Reviews are outdated and aren’t very detailed either.

Can anyone with experience living in Joya tell me more about it? Is it worth living in?

It would be my first time to rent, so I’m trying to make the transition as seamless as possible. I’m looking into Rockwell and Shang properties since I heard they have the best PMOs, and I really want to avoid any headaches (ex. leaks, pests, etc.) down the line.

Built a new gaming PC and I live in an area that seems like isn't properly grounded and/or has blackouts during rainy season (typhoon country). I want to get a UPS to protect my set-up in case of an emergency.

I don't mind investing in a good UPS, but I do have a limited budget. That said, is there any issue if I just get a "weaker" UPS (ex. just around 800VA/450W), or is there a recommended minimum wattage?

Brief overview: GPU is a 5070Ti, CPU is a 9800X3D, PSU is a Corsair SF1000. Peripherals would be a monitor and some portable/small speakers.

I have the first iteration of the Ultimate, but it was the BT version and the layout confuses me (despite remapping) when using it with my PC/Steam.

That said, I finally decided to purchase the Ultimate 2 Wireless. I just wanted to ask if there are any common issues that I need to look out for, so I know if I should file a return rather than unknowingly handicapping myself.

Thanks to anyone who can help out!

I've been looking for a portable monitor, but the ones I've seen from UPERFECT and Arzopa all seem to have about 9ms response time. Those that do have supposedly 1ms response time however have 60hz refresh rate only.

1-3ms matters with high refresh rate matters a lot to me since I play FPS games heavily.

Is the ROG Strix XG17AHPE still the best despite being somewhat old and just Full HD IPS? Any upcoming releases to look out for?

I’ve been waiting since around March-April for a restock of the SF3 on the COOJ official website. I’ve been talking to them back and forth via email and it keeps on getting moved. They said there should be a restock finally end of June to early July, but there’s still none and it’s ticking me off. I even bought custom cables already.

1. Are they actually restocking on their website or do they have any other page? They said they only do so through their website and Amazon page (which I can’t find).

2. Is there any sub 9L case similar to the SF3? Has to fit an ASUS Prime 5070Ti and Corsair SF1000.

Thanks to anyone who can help! Really want to get my build done already since my parts are just eating space.

Context: I've gathered parts for a SFFPC build. However, my needs/use case scenario has changed and it may not be so viable for me anymore. Instead, a gaming laptop might suit my needs better.

However, my main concern with gaming laptops is whether availing of warranty and/or repairs in the Philippines is seamless, or if I'd just end up frustrated and shelling out more cash. From what I understand, gaming laptops have specialized parts that you can't really buy elsewhere but from the actual supplier. Are gaming laptops these days built to last, anyway? I fear buying a gaming laptop only for it to end up as e-waste in 3-5 years.

Thanks to anyone who can provide their insights!

EDIT: To be more specific, I'm looking to buy the best I can get for under Php200k (since that's more or less what my planned SFF build will amount to). From my initial search, it's either the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i or the ROG Zephyrus G14 (maybe G16).

I’m looking to buy a sequential pair (ex. Pika A and Pika B) which has the blue check mark. Will the guarantor check both slabs, or just what’s listed first in the title? Ex. “Pika A and Pika B sequential set,” so will it just be Pika A? What if mention of Pika B is omitted, ex. “Pika sequential set PSA10”?

To the Mods: I'm not shrouding this as a way to advertise or sell, I just really need advice since my priorities changed.

Context: I gathered parts over the last 2/3 months for a high end SFF build since I would be away from my main rig for long periods of time in a month. I bought each component from different sources (Shopee, DataBlitz, Hardware Sugar, etc.) I've been waiting for a restock of a specific case, but it's been severely delayed, and thus so has my plan of this new SFF PC.

However, my plans to move around ramped up (~twice a week instead of twice/thrice a month) and a gaming laptop would now fit my needs better. So I don't need to finish this build anymore.

That said, is it better to just offload each piece one by one, or should I package it? How do I go about the warranties too? I have the receipt for each, so do I just hand it over to them and let them deal with it? The latter is my main concern, honestly, especially for those I bought over Shopee. Last thing I want is for someone to scam me out of these high end parts.

Thanks to anyone who can provide me some insights. Again, I am not looking to break the rules of this subreddit.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to seek help, but I've been at this all day and I'm tired stressing over it. I tried posting in r/InternetPH but it keeps getting auto deleted huhu.

- My router is located in the second floor (PLDT provided GPON ONU HG8143F). I have 2 ethernet cables attached to it: one for the first floor and another for my second floor room.

- I have an existing network of 3 TP Link Deco M5. The main M5 is connected to the router via the first floor ethernet cable.

- I bought a new TP Link Deco X60 since my room in the second floor is a WiFi dead spot, and my partner needs it. The ethernet cable in my room is currently connected directly from the router to my gaming PC.

- I connected said cable instead to the X60, and will then use another cable to connect my PC to the X60.

- In the TP Link App, I created a new network for the X60 rather than adding it to the existing M5 network. So now it has its own SSID, password, and MAC address.

- When I checked ‘Advanced’, the ‘Operation Mode’ for both the M5 and the X60 are set as ‘Wi-Fi Router’.

My question is: am I going to run into a potential conflict here considering that I now have 2 separate main networks (old M5 network and new X60 network)? Or will everything be nice and dandy? Should I change any of my settings?

I’m not well-versed with this and I really don’t want any issues with our internet connection since a lot of people at home are working around the clock and rely on it heavily. I’m learning as I go along.

Thank you to anyone who can help!

P.S.

Not sure if this is relevant but my X60 also as a ‘WAN Port’ setting (enabled) which my M5 does not have. My X60 also has ‘IPTV/VLAN’ (disabled) and ‘static routing’ (disabled), while the M5 only has ‘VLAN’ (disabled). Not sure what these are, but thought to mention them.
