Venting about headset

I'm so frustrated with this whole headphone bs. So I have a pair of headphones that all of a sudden it is saying there is a driver issue that causes issues with calls but you can't fix the driver issue can't be fixed so they are no longer approved. So they tell me to use the company provided headphones and I tell them I can't for medical reasons but I go to use my spare set and they are like those aren't approved either. So basically since they have specific requirements the only one I can find is $80 so I am expected to buy that just for them to turn around a couple weeks later and they will say it's no longer approved and expect me to buy a new one. That is one thing I miss about my old call center is as long as you were able to take calls they did not give a crap what headset you were using.

One Thing That Disappoints me

I honestly thought a once the game was released the they would release more Raiders themed accessories especially switch 2 cases. But so far I haven't found any cases on amazon or Etsy other than one someone 3D printed and put a splatoon sticker on.

I need some opinions before getting my permeant dentures

I have a full set of bottom and partial upper for 2 teeth and I'm still have my temporary dentures and should be getting the terminate ons in October. When I look in the mirror even when the partials are sitting all the way up and secured to me it still looks like they are too long and stick out compared to my natural teeth on the other side. However people keep telling me they look fine so I'm trying to decide if when I get my permeant dentures if I should ask them to make them shorter and I would like opinions.

I don't think this can be done but it's worth asking

I have a Mac min m1 and I would like to use a finger print scanner to be able to do things like login and other things but the thing is I need to keep the keyboard that I have because it is for carpal tunnel so I can't just buy the apple keyboard and use it. Is there a finger print scanner by it's self that I can use or is the Magic Keyboard the only option?

I have had a day

So one of my first calls today is this lady calling a lawyer's office and wanted to know if they would sue a government office. So I told her that she would have to set up a consultation because a lawyer would have to tell her if we could help her with the case and she just kept saying she doesn't want to have to explain the case and she doesn't understand why I can't just ask the lawyer if they will sue them. Honey that's not how this works.

Next call was for a real estate office and this guy asks if a certain person works there so I let him know I can not answer questions about who does or does not work here. Well that set him off and he asks if I can ask someone else if they work here and I explained no it's company policy that we can't answer weather someone works here but I can take a message. He then goes is that all you do and that's why your company is horrible. Again I offer to take a message but then he goes I don't like your attitude and hung up. My manager and I both agree after reviewing the call that he didn't like being told no by a woman and that I was stern and point blank about it.

But the one that got me is I had a client send negative feedback and the whole negative feedback was that I said ok too many times. When they told me that I just started laughing because really? Even my lead is like you say that to acknowledge what the caller is saying and that's just normal for you. I'm just still laughing.

Troubleshooting help needed

I'm having issues with both my Macs where it's extremely slow but only with photoshop. I'm running a Mac mini m1 8gb 256 and MacBook Pro M3 Pro 18gb ram 512. The issues I am having is for instance when I open a photo and it opens in camera raw and I hit the button to open in photoshop it is taking 2 or 3 minutes or when I hit to export its taking several minutes to open. It took over 10 minutes to open 45 photos and I have had more photos then open than that at once and it didn't take this long. 

It is happening on two different computer and the MacBook ask 260gb of free storage and the Mac mini's scratch disc is set to an empty 64gb flash drive so I don't think scratch disc is the issue. But I also uninstalled photoshop, Lightroom, and the Creative Cloud apps and every folder I could find related to adobe or photoshop and restarted the computer then reinstalled it and I'm still having the issue. Both Macs are up to date running IOS 26.6.2 and photoshop. Activity monitor is showing that it's not responding and I know there are a couple times on the MacBook Pro that the whole computer froze but I'm not having issues with any other program on either computer freezing so I don't know what the issue is.

Below is the link to a screen recording of the issue in hopes that someone can see what the issue is because clearly I'm not seeing it.

If this is off topic I'm sorry

While I'm trying to get my freelance going I'm working at a call center that takes calls for other companies and I keep seeing brands do one thing that I think is completely destroying their brand image. They will have us call out to a potential client who has put their info in on the client's web form and if they don't answer or it goes to voice mail they have us call them back within a literally one minute and all that does is piss them off because it's not respecting these customer's time. Every time I have to do that I wonder if they understand that they destroying any trust they had with that person and are creating an image that makes sure people will never want to work with them again and costing them money. Anyway thanks for listening to my ted talk?

Wifi Issues

I'm currently playing the last of us part 2 through cloud streaming and I keep getting the error that says I have network issues, that my network strength is low or medium. But when I was playing part 1 and the first 5 hours of part 2 I didn't have this issue, I a haven't changed anything on my wifi set up and my other consoles like my switch when it is on the same network when I play online multiplayer games I have no problem. Also I'm only bout 35 feet from the router and none of my other devices are getting this low of speeds.

I have tried restarting the portal and disconnecting the wifi then reconnecting, and making sure the software is up to date. I don't own a ps5 so trying to stream it from the console is not an option and really the last of us is the only game I play so I don't know if this issue is exclusive to the game but I doubt it. For my wifi set up I have the modem that Spectrum makes me have plus a Nighthawk BE4300 and my internet plan is 100mbps (I know that doesn't mean I'm going to get that speed). Also there is maybe half a dozen devices connected to the wifi and since I usually play after people go to bed it's usually maybe one or two other devices on a the same time as the portal.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

A couple questions

I'm currently still in my temporary dentures and I have been having to use cushion grip. Is it ok if there are little pieces from the last time left on the denture when I put the new layer on? Also in a little over a month I am due for my perminate set of full lower and partial uppers. For those who have gone temporary to permeant set did it take getting used to and learning how to talk with that set like it did with the temporary ones or were you just able to put them in and act like nothing changed?

Burnt out and need to vent

I am so exhausted and burnt out between this job and all my medical issues that its not even funny but at the same time I don't feel like I make enough money to afford to do anything about it. It just feels like all I do is work and maybe have a couple minutes to play some games but that's about it. I can't afford to go out and do the things I love and honestly a lot of times I don't feel like I ave the energy to do it either. I keep telling myself this is just what you have to do temporarily till you can make your freelance work but it is taking forever. I know a lot of people will say well then just leave and find a different job. Well that only works for a little while because that's what I did when I left my last job and got this one and I can't afford to quit. It's a vicious cycle and I don't know how to get out of it any more.

Modding question

Hello I am doing some research into possibly modding my Nintendo DS model NTR - 001 with something like home brew. Would this allow me to be able to import not only ds games but also gameboy advance games to my computer so I can play them with an emulator on my computer

[SC] FMLA/Disability Accommodations

I work at a work from home call center and I have fmla for chronic migraines as well as have glasses. But I was thinking about having two things added to my fmla but wanted to get opinions on if this is reasonable accommodations. I have a headset that works for me but they keep changing what headsets your allowed to use and want us to use the company provided headset. Problem with that is because of where it sits it causes my glasses to not sit on my face properly causing an issue being able to see no matter how I adjust them and that causes a migraine. Also because it is on ear the way it presses on my ears causes my tinnitus (ringing in the ear) to flare up and the ringing causes a migraine.

So would it be reasonable to ask to be allowed to use a headset that works with the system enough to be able to effectively take calls regardless of if it is on it's "approved headset list"?

Will these games be playable hand held after moving?

I bought a Wii U thinking I would be able to play all the old Wii games I love hand held without bing tied to the tv. Well apparently I didn't do enough research because you can't do that without modding the Wii U. So I wanted to verify if I add home brew to the Wii U that I would be able to play the following games because chatgbt is telling me some of these games won't work on the hand held pad even after modding with home brew.

Rayman Raving Rabbids
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Rabbids TV Party
Rayman Time Travel
Rabbids Go Home
Animal Crossing City
Wiii Play
Deal or No Deal
Call of Duty 3
Super Mario Bros Wii

Chat GBT is saying Rayman Raving Rabbids, Raving Rabbids 2, and Rabbids TV Party won't be playable due to the motion controls.

Also it's my understanding if I put them on the computer I would need an emulator but playing them that way would I be able to save my game progress?

I feel like these are going to be strange questions

I have a small hand held collection because it's easier for me to see with my old eyes and was wondering if any one else color coordinates the console accessories? Like my switch is red, my playstation portal is purple and my Wii U is blue. Also what game did you get each console for?

2026 Questions

I got my first Wii U a couple days ago. Now I'm not entirely new I did have a Wii back in the day but I have a couple questions. Is there any way to get games from the store? It will open but every game I look up says it's unavailable. Are there any sites other than the usual GameStop, amazon and eBay to find cheap games or to find rare games Deca sports 1?

WTF

I had a guy call and he said his last name is Nugent then goes something like this is how I will know if you are over 25 or not. I didn't respond because why and me not being able to spell his name is because I'm a crappy speller not because I don't know who he is. But I don't know that most people in their 20s know or care who Ted Nugent is. I'm in my 30s and the only reason I know who he is is because of the show That 70s Show.

Then I had this old lady call and she was like do you know about the advertisement you have just now on the tv? So I was like I don't know the advertisements so then she asks about services and then she asks if I was the answering service and I said yes. Well that makes her mad and she just keeps saying well why didn't you say that at the begining and I'm like it's company policy. I don't agree that it should be telling people at the beginning we are the answering service but it's not my choice.

I'm probably the only one that cares but.

I found out about the Barbie Retro release for the switch and I'm excited because it has games from my childhood that I have been wanting to relive the nostalgia of so it's well worth $30 to me I mean I was just talking to my mom today about how I was thinking about trying to find the barbie game for Windows 98 that I used to have. Clearly Matel listened when I told them I wanted these games on the switch. now I just need to work on Ubisoft.

Today's vent session

I know this is a common issue but for whatever reason it's bugging me right now. People who get pissy because you won't do something that is not your job and that they can do easily but choose not to. For example I had a lady call this company and it was not the company she was looking for so she asked me what the phone number for that company is but got an attitude when I said I don't know and I can't look it up. Or the lady who called a closet company and wanted to know if dollar general would be open on a certain day and what their hours were. I get paid to make this company money and me looking up info on a different company does not make them money plus usually those kind of people in my opinion if I looked it up to try and be nice would then want me to look up a bunch of different stuff. Today I had a person on chat get mad because he asked me a question and it took me a couple minutes to look up the answer and it was not the answer he wanted to hear so he said thanks for wasting my time and not being helpful. Just because it's the answer he doesn't want doesn't mean I didn't help him or wasted his time.

But with all of these it's like you can do this yourself because all of this info is on google and you were able to find our info do clearly you know how to look things up but are choosing not too then getting pissy that we aren't willing or able to do it for you. Their lazyness is not my problem.
