I don't really understand how OWCS works rn. I get the NA and EMEA split, which will then face off in the playoffs (i assume), but what about Asia? are Crazy Raccoon etc just not going to play these US and EMEA teams at all?

I wanted to share my experience with Belgian IKEA customer support. I don't really know whether I'm looking for people who share my experience or if it's just a rant.

Basically I moved to an apartment and bought most of my furniture in IKEA including the MALMÖRADE desk. After 2 days of building IKEA furniture it turned out not 1 of the 3 included monitor arms could keep my main monitor upright, even though it only weighs 3.7KG, which is well below the 7KG limit listed on IKEA's website. I called them immediately explaining the problem and the woman on the phone told me she couldn't offer much help without seeing the problem. She suggested I send an email to customer.support.be@ikea.com with a video of the problem. That's what I did and I soon got a reply saying that's not normal and that they'll look for a solution internally and contact me within 2 business days.
After 3 business days, I replied to the email with a follow-up asking why I hadn't heard from them.
I stayed polite and had hope.

The next day I got a reply asking what my follow-up was referring to, signed by a different support person. I explained that a colleague of theirs would reach out with a solution but didn't. Again no reply, so I sent another follow-up (all within the same email thread).

I think you can see where this is going, but again, someone new replied to my follow up asking for more info, so i provided my account number, the order ID number, images of the issue, the video and the receipt, as well as the previous email conversation with the first customer support agent telling me she'd get back to me within 2 business days.

To this I get another reply, this time by the same person saying that's of course not how it should go and that they'll look into it.

At some point in all of this, someone actually replied saying they had watched the video, that my warranty was approved, and that because they couldn't send the defective part separately, I would have to exchange the entire desk. Which is already kind of insane, because it's a fully built 87KG desk and the issue is with only the monitor arms. I rented a U-haul to get it to my place because I drive a Corsa... I replied saying I didn't really see that as a reasonable solution, especially since I had bought a separate monitor arm online and that immediately fixed the problem. So I asked if they could maybe compensate that arm instead, even if it was just with an IKEA voucher. After that, the whole thing somehow reset again and new support agents started asking for the same information as if none of that had ever happened.

Since then, I haven't gotten any further than "I'll look into that for you and reach back out", after which they go radio-silent and are never to be heard of again. This email thread is now 27 emails long of back and forth communication with new support agents who swear they cannot see the other emails and keep asking me to explain the problem and then say "we'll look into it" to then disappear.

In a final attempt I turned the entire thread into a PDF and sent a new email (still in the same thread), re-explaining the problem. I added that PDF and all previous attachments that were sent throughout all email traffic in hopes that I finally get a reply.

This is the absolute worst customer service experience I've had with any company before and I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

I know printers aren't actually "for life" but I hate printers and I'm being forced to get one. Here's what I need:

• cheap
• double sided printing
• colour doesnt matter
• speed doesnt rlly matter
• toner doesn't cost more than the actual printer
• no subscription

I just want a cheap box that'll spit out a page every now and then...

I want to run a 0.9mm fiber to my home office for my desktop, but idk if it'll work so this is a sanity check. I'd do fiber cuz my gf told me no big ugly cables through the house...

Router: UDR7 (reconfigure SFP+ port to LAN).

SFP modules: UACC-OM-SM-1G-S-2.

Cable:

And a media converter to connect my PC: UACC-AE.

The media converter is 1G SFP, while the router is 10G SFP+, would this work? Am I missing smt?

EDIT: I had selected 10G optics instead of 1G.

I need to replace some disks for a client, but I'm pretty sure what he wants is impossible.
2 disk groups are unhealthy. Both had 1 flash (500GB) and 4 capacity drives (900GB).
In the first, 1 capacity drive failed, in the other 2 capacity drives failed.

He said he has spare disks, but they are 300GB. He said since we dont need all that storage, just put the 300GB's instead of the 900's but then one host has 300GB more than the other, and idk if it's even possible to swap out broken disks for a lower capacity disk in a vsan cluster?

I'm not super knowledgeable in vmware and vsan, so any help is welcome.
He said that if storage needs to be the same, replace each 900GB disk with 3 300GB disks which i shut down with the fact that there's simply no slots for another 9 drives.

Is there anything I can do beside tell him to buy disks?
I don't think i can make a new disk group since there's no flash drives.

I keep seeing posts saying "How do i access my Jellyfin remotely without Tailscale?".
Even though it's not fully open-source and/or self-hosted, it's an amazing tool which works great, even at the free tier. Can someone explain why so many people seem to be against it?

Is it out of fear they will at some point get rid of the free plan?

I’m buying a tv for my new apartment, and even though I’m not nearly as into a giant setup as most in this sub (or loaded enough to afford it), I’m debating between the LG 77 inch 4K Oled C5 and G5.
I know the G5 is much brighter which would be good since the tv is in my living room and this would make daytime tv much nicer, but is it worth the 500€ price increase?

I’ve been using lifting straps since forever, and i wash them at least once a week. But I’ve noticed that my wrists have dead skin patches on them? I lift pretty heavy with straps on both leg- and pullday, but is there anything I can do to remedy this besides moisturiser?

Zijn er in Belgie communties voor Meshcore? Evenementen of samenkomsten of zo? Liefst in de buurt van Gent.
