Anyone else on desktop/web getting logged out daily recently?

The past week for whatever reason seemingly everyday when I go to watch Kick, I'm logged out. Is this happening to anyone else?

I'm on desktop/web via Chrome. Site settings, cache, and cookies have already been deleted/reset.

BUG: No way to disable mini player on web/desktop

u/KickStreaming

Open a stream, click Home, Browse, Following, Drops, or things inside the User menu in the upper right like Subscriptions or Settings. Instead of stopping playback, it goes to a mini player, forcing you to have to close. There is no option to turn this off like on Twitch. Please fix this.

BUG: Kick doesn't remember/keep video quality setting; keeps reverting back to Auto when opening a stream in a new window/tab

u/KickStreaming Open up Kick go to a channel, and set video quality to 360. Click on another channel. The settings retain.

Now instead click on another channel, this time opening it in a new window or tab. The video quality settings default back to Auto.

This is very frustrating when you want it set to a lower settings to preserve bandwidth/disk usage/resources. Can this please be corrected?

Recent Adderall XR amph drug test positive, one year ago potentially negative

Been on generic Adderall XR 15 x2 daily for years, 1 morning, 1 noon. Had a general drug test as a continuing requirement to get my stimulant from my doctor. As shown it came back positive.

However I do remember that I was tested at least twice with their random drug screenings at the job I was working at the time in late 2024 and in 2025. Whenever I had these at a job I'd always get flagged because my stimulant would trigger a manual review and they would call to confirm my medication. And that's what happened for the one in 2024. But I remember one of them in 2025 where I never got called after, and that caused me to question what happened; did I register as a negative, or since it was already noted on my history at least once before, there was no need to reconfirm.

These were from Camber.

Lenovov Ideapad 3-15IIL05 Type 81WE: Screen lights, no POST/boot

Lenovov Ideapad 3-15IIL05 Type 81WE Laptop: Screen lights, won't boot, no POST. 4 years, out of warranty.

  • Laptop screen lights up black. Disconnecting the it and connecting an external one for boot causes the external screen to be detected but still be black.
  • Battery was disconnected and tried running from power, also disconnected power and purged leftover charge by holding power button.
  • Has soldered RAM and a removable stick. Stick was removed
  • CMOS Battery was disconnected
  • Fan starts and runs for a few seconds, then stops. After 30~ seconds the fan starts again and then runs. CPU rail is warm.
  • No flashing lights or beeps indicating hardware failure.
  • CAPS lock does turn on and off.
  • Pressing and holding novo button turns on laptop but still goes to black screen.

Research seemingly narrows it potentially down to: Corrupted BIOS firmware or failed onboard (Soldered) RAM.

Aunt has old Olympics / Figure skating not available online anywhere. Any people/groups here that digitize old VHS tapes?

Helping out my elderly Aunt, she has some old VHS tapes of old Olympics & Figure skating that from searching Youtube is not available online anywhere. I'd like these to get digitized for others to enjoy and be preserved.

I unfortunately don't have the means- both ability and financial- to be able to do this myself.

Are there any people or groups here that live in the US and would be able to do this? I have someone who runs a pro Figure Skating history YouTube channel offer to digitize them, but unfortunately they live in Australia and trying to ship the tapes would cost over $110.

Listing of events:

  • Olympics 02/18/88 - Men's Figure Skating, Women's Luge, Women's Downhill, Men's Figure Skating
  • 48 Hours Olympic Edition
  • Olympics - More various
  • Olympics 02/20/88 - Speed skating, Bobslad, Figure skating
  • Olympics 02/23/88 - Final Night Skating, Closing ceremonies
  • World Figure Skating Championships: Budapest 02/23/88
  • Figure Skating World Pro Championships 01/07/89; Boitano/Witt/Orsor 03/89
  • ESPN 2 World Gymnastics Championship, 12/29/2002
  • ABC World Figure Skating Championships 03/29/2003 - PTO
  • ABC Random other stuff

Mauler: Youtube's EFAP videos playlist majorly out of order

I don't know how else to do this, but if someone could let him know that there's a problem with a bunch of videos being out of order in the official YouTube playlist for EFAP Videos maintained by Mauler: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6A9eYEQJWqt_D5BUjrmKrOhWZE3aB9CL

Everything is fine until 323, then it's a complete mess until 378. It must have been a recent change, because it was fine until just recently.

Fingers crossed this is seen and corrected.

[Major Bug] Old Facebook messages just plain missing / not displaying when searching on Web Messenger, but shows/are there if searching on Messenger Mobile App

This is infuriating. On Messenger.com or Facebook Chat Web, I used search in a specific chat convo for a keyword (eg: cabinet), and while it showed up in the results on the right, clicking on one to take me to that part of the convo, the message would not be there. However, doing the same search on the Messenger mobile app, it properly shows the message.

This makes no sense. On the Web one you can see the person's replies to it, and if I sent two messages at the same time for example, that first message might be there. But for like half of my search results, they're just not there, like they're invisible.

  • I do most of my messaging on Web, so these were originally sent via Web
  • These are messages that are within the last year or so
  • Some have links and some are just regular text
  • Using Privacy Center & viewing all logins, I logged off all sessions to eliminate any potential weird syncing issue with old logins
  • Tried a different browser to confirm it wasn't somehow a problem related to that

Toilet Hard Water Stain: Any other options besides pumice stone

Our city has lovely hard water and this is the result of a few weeks. Originally I used the pumice stone, but hated the frequent scrubbings. After for years I just plopped a clorox bleach tablet in the tank and I never had to do anything and it was wonderful. But then I learned how it screws with the plastic components of the stuff inside and stopped. So I'm back to pumice stones but getting frustrated again and tempted to just using the bleach tablets once more and deal with having to replace the toilet fill valve every few years.

What other options can I try?

  • Iron out tablets and the new formula doesn't seem to work
  • Lysol Lime & Rust Toilet Bowl Cleaner Liquid only gets some of it
