Insoles have become unusable due to humidity

The insoles that came with my Be Lenkas have shriveled up in the summer heat. Are Be Lenkas safe to wear without insoles? The stitching inside makes me think they aren't.

Best heavy duty laptop stand for heavy 18" laptop?

I'm looking for a stand that candle this laptop which is about 3.5kg. It needs to be adjustable and able to lift the laptop at a height. And it needs to be open where the laptop sits so that it's not covering the air intake vents on the bottom of the laptop.

I have one currently and it's okay. It worked well for my old 16" laptop. But it's a lot more unstable and wobbly for this 18" one.

I'm sure there's plenty of choice in America, but this one needs to be available to me in the UK.

How to change default list configuration?

The default 'lists' that you see in the Libre Writer toolbar, (such as bullet points) have a massive indent. But I never use that indent. So I have to use the bullet point option in 'styles' because that one doesn't have an indent. But I get annoyed having to constantly open up and navigate 'styles' whenever I want to make a list. How can I format lists the way I want them but then make them the default that is used when I choose a list from the toolbar whenever I start a new document?

I hope my question makes enough sense.

My laptop keeps having a stroke

There's this bug I'm getting on my laptop and I dont really know how to describe it other than to say it is 'having a stroke'. It seems to just slowly collapse from within. It usually starts where my external speakers stop working. Or at least, that's what first causes me to notice it. I pull out the speaker wire to use the integrated speakers but they also don't work. I try using my external keyboard to check if the sound is too low, but then my keyboard stops working. So I use the integrated keyboard but that's not working too. I try going through settings, but then my external mouse stops working. Luckily, the the trackpad continues to work, but I have no keyboard at all to work with. Another symptom that I can see is any video I'm playing will become choppy. Audio files also won't play at all.

And these are only the symptoms that I can see on the surface. There's probably lots more things under the hood that are failing. And with no keyboard, I won't bother checking anything else and just restart. A restart fixes everything, but it keeps happening. It's not a one time thing, and idk what the problem is. Please help. I'm genuinely worried about what's going on with this laptop.

Symptoms:

  • all USB and device connections stop working. My phone charges but isnt registering as a device.
  • the internal keyboard stops working
  • audio files won't play at all
  • if a video is playing, it becomes very choppy

Specs:

  • Asus Strix Scar 2025 Laptop
  • Laptop RTX 5080
  • Windows 11

I got this Iqnuix MQ80 for free and idk what to do with it

I bought this on eBay from a private seller and I bought it because it was reportedly in "spectacular condition". So I got it and noticed that the feet were just in a state. They have significant wear, with the back feet being worn to the point of being completely flat and flush against the board. I mean, how did this even happen? If the keyboard was used on a rough surface like the ground, I'd expect to see scratches on the case. But the case was scratch free. I was thinking maybe they sanded it? But if it was sanded, they'd have done a horrendous job. I just can't explain how the feet got like this. But anyway, the feet being in the state they are meant that I definitely wasn't going to keep it, especially since the board now wobbles when you type on it. So I requested a return. They refunded fully but didn't want me to send the board back, weirdly. So now I have a board that I don't want. Is there a way to replace the feet? Or am I just gonna have to sell it as is?

Also, I noticed that there is no lube in the switches. They are very very scratchy. Is that normal with this board?

MX Master 3s foot has come off

The foot has come off the gel pad underneath it. Idk why this has happened or how normal this is, but I find it to be pretty cheap construction. The mouse is less than a year old and has been kept in good condition since I clean it regularly. How can I fix this for the time being?

Fruits aren't ripening at home

I'm having a problem. It's a problem I've experienced for years now. A lot of fruit I buy from different super markets don't ripen reliably at home, and I don't understand why.

When I buy bananas, they ripen very reliably. But when I buy plums, peaches, apricots, persimmons, papayas, nectarines, and others, a lot of it goes in the bin because they don't ripen into something edible. They just gradually decay, never truly reaching an edible and ripe state. For reference, I live in the UK, and I've lived in different parts of the country over the years, yet I continually experience this problem, even during the summer, and I just cannot understand why.

I also can't find any information about this problem. It's as if no one else experiences this problem and I'm the only one that's affected. But I can't understand how that can be the case. I buy high or medium quality fruits, and I leave them out on a table or counter, and I do it throughout the year, even in the summer, over multiple years, in multiple houses, in different parts of the country. Why isn't the fruit ripening?

I'm pretty poor mind you, and this fruitarian lifestyle has been a continuous drain on my wallet. So I basically now just avoid buying the fruits that don't ripen. And I hate it because I don't get to eat some great fruits. I've never even tasted papaya. This sucks so much and idk how to fix it.

I have an Asus 5080 laptop and I have armoury crate installed. I enabled manual mode to see what's inside. Problem is that it now takes up a fourth space on the dedicated performance mode button that switches between performance modes. I never use it and it just makes the cycle longer and I just want to revert back to the state where it was disabled, but it doesn't seem like there's an option to do that. How can I do it? Will I have to reinstall armory crate?

I have a strix scar 2025 5080 i9-275hx laptop. I've been trying for hours to get undervolting to work. I've managed to turn off the overclocking lock in BIOS but when I go into Intel xtu, it allows me to overvolt, but undervolt protection is still enabled. Everywhere online says undervolt protection needs to be disabled in BIOS but I can't find the option anywhere. It seems there is a way to do it manually in the BIOS but it's capped to only -30mv. This is a powerful laptop. I don't see why I wouldnt have the option to test how far I can undervolt myself. Or is it because Asus, in particular, is unstable when it comes to undervolting? And if that's the case, why is there nothing about this on the entire internet?
