Are there any hair oils (not for scalp) that are safe to use? Not MCT or Squalane, I mean like hair products specifically as a finishing oil/serum or heat protectant oil etc.

I'd love to have an oil to put on my ends of the hair but non-safe ones end up making me musty.

Does anyone know of any hair oils/serums that are safe?

Had a hard time explainin in title, lol sorry. Basically, I am wondering if there is a website (or app) where you can set terms/settings and see a result of which country/area fits your wishes for climate/weather.

Like, if I want snow in november-january, arrid, long summers, stormy autumns etc. If I want a certain set of temperatures during certain months etc.

Ive seen a few websites that do something like this, but they only account for very few things.

I feel like I remember a gorgeous sort of poster/original image, either from a soundtrack or somewhere, that had a color hue that wasn't the typical red/yellow/orange tones, but rather a nightsky in dark blues? It may have featured adult Simba and the pride rock seen from afar, but I'm unsure. Or a more abstract image of either of those two? It was not the poster with the pride rock and the lion face in the sky with the light blue/clouds.

It was def using more of the nighty blue/dark tones. I remember the image was so stunning, but I cannot find it anywhere anymore and image searching is so annoying now with ai slop and the cgi movie images.

I was looking for this image cause I wanted to use it as a wallpaper. Does anyone else remember it?

As a side note, if anyone knows a site with really nice screencaps/wallpapers of the original TLK, please share!

Hi!

I've been uninstalling stuff that I want to re-installer later, and I would like to maybe do a registry cleaning and such, if that's needed. Just to sort of get a fresh install and whatnot.

I dont want to use CCleaner and third party nonsense, if Win7 offers it natively? But I forget where/how if there ever was a feature like that.

I can do disc frag or "clean up space", but now sure which is the best, or if there's a point?

The game I uninstalled left a lot of old folders and gubbins so I'd prefer to have it properly cleaned rather than manually looking for bits and pieces.

I just want to state upfront, I'm so disheartened. I have the disc (sans a few stuff packs), but my game is installed via Origin I believe (and onto a secondary SSD so not c:/ ).

As everyone knows, Origin got swept up by EA, so I've had to use the EA launcher to play Sims 3 lately. Which was fine.

Except my Sims 3 game is on a Windows 7 PC. And the EA launcher now refuses to work with Win7. And EA will not help me because my PC is no longer supported.

Upgrading this PC is not relevant. I dont have another PC to play Sims 3 on.

So now I'm softlocked from playing games I own, because EA decided that the launcher I had, that worked, should no longer work.

I'm starting to wonder if I have to uninstall and re-install a cracked version of Sims 3. But I'm unsure how a cracked version would work. Does a cracked version need the launcher? Or will it just run via an .exe ?

Does anyone know how a Sims 3 cracked version would work? I'm super unfamiliar with cracked games.

For reference, this is on a win7. Yes, I know, unsupported etc. It's just a secondary PC used for certain things. I've been using OpenVPN with Proton on it for a few weeks now and suddenly today I noticed it didn't start when I turned on the PC.

When I go to the start menu to select it, nothing happens when I click on it.

It's been working fine up until now, but I remembered that yesterday I changed the username on the Admin on this PC. As most know,, there's no "account" like on newer Windows (tied to email etc).

There is only one account on this PC, mine, the admin. And no password/welcome screen to log in. I did not change the "PC" name I believe, just the username that would show on a splash screen if there was one, afaik. All the C:/folder folder [username] etc are the same as the old username, and from what I gathered, the username I changed is only for "show" .

Yet now I wonder if maybe that's why the OpenVPN wont start? Maybe something got mixed up within it from this name change? If so, what do I do? Just reinstall? Or is there something else I can do to? Is this a logical reason for it to not start, or am I just grasping? I've not changed anything else on the PC or done anything beside watching a bit of youtube and moving some files between this and my other pc in the proton drive.

Does anyone know any legit sites that have a working port/remake of the after dark starry skyline/starry night screensaver? Preferably one that would work for like, anything from win7 and beyond.

I'm not sure which one is which, but I prefer the black and white one. Anyone who knows?

Hi!

I've been playing around with this indoor OT antenna I got at an outlet, and I'm trying to figure out the cause of the issue.

The antenna is a "one for all SV9420".

I live within a close range of 2 towers, one a bit further away but both large mountain top towers, covering both sides of my house. Maps are saying excellent signal.

I've got the antenna at a window facing the closest tower, and the signal coming in is at around 75 - 80 and says its strong.

There are only about 3 channels OTA here + radio, so not much to choose from. I'm just doing this out of curiosity.

So, signal is supposedly strong. But quality is going from anywhere at 15 - 30 %.

So garbage. Sometimes no sound, very glitchy, stuttery, or nothing etc.

Now, my TV I am using this on is a distance from the window, and the coax cable is too short out the box, so I had to find a random tester cable to extend (I cannot swap the antenna cable cause its not unpluggable) just to see if my outlet antenna was even alive/working

Could the quality be because I am using some old, long random coax cable as an extension? Or is quality only connected to the actual signal to the antenna itself? Sorry if its a really stupid question, haha I just dont know how these things work anymore.

I wasnt too keen on buying a better extention unless I know for sure that its the root cause, especially since its mainly just a little side project.

So, if signal is supposedly good, but quality is dirt poor, is it likely the random coax cable I am using as a makeshift extension, or the actual antenna?

I spotted some satellites on the 23rd of December 2025 that I would like to take a look at again, just to see exactly what I was looking at. Is there a way to find this? I found it really interesting because it was a row of presumably satellites following in a direct line. I counted 5 or 6 just the few minutes I watched the sky, all following the exact same path across the sky.

Was just curious if there was a way to look up "live satellite maps" but on certain dates?

Hi! I'm trying to figure out a way to make some notepaper template look sort of ripped at the edges. It doesn't have to be super realistic in any shape, it's just meant to be a goofy little background thing for a drawing. But I'm struggling with how to actually figure out how to do it.

My first thought was to just use the eraser and erase parts around it. It "gets the job done" but it doesn't look like ripped paper. I then tried to experiment with a white background layer behind the paper, erasing the paper at like 30% hardness, then erasing the outer edges of the white background with 100% hardness (so it would be a transparent .png at the edges/seams. But that also didn't really look quite right. Maybe someone else has some suggestions? Maybe there already is a better tool for the job, lol? For reference, it's paint . net version 4.2.10 I'm working on atm, but I've got access to the newest version as well. I could also just take the image into PhotoPea if needed, maybe there's a tool here as well?

Hi!

My drawing PC is a bit old so I am on Krita 4.3 on it, but I am struggling to find brushes and such that work for it. I have a stamp/brush set called Muses which works fine, but when I try newer ones (Valmelmas' crayon brushes), they just wont show up. Idk if its because they're for newer versions or something. But it's getting hard to find legacy brush sets. I'd really like some nice crayon (pencil crayons based) brushes. Something similar to Valmelmas' brushes maybe?

Is there a proper way to search for brushes and resources for legacy software?

Does anyone have the Miband 9 Active? If so, is it possible to use third party watch faces or something? The ones the app has to offer are frankly so ass its crazy. And only a hand few of them count seconds for some reason.

On a side note, I really wish they'd offer dates shown as day-month rather than month-day as well.

I just want some nice watch faces to choose from, that actually display all the info I want 😭 Half the ones in the app alternate between showing everything at once omfg.
