Sony deserves what it gets This just proves that companies shouldn't treat customers like this.

Is this brand new PSU safe?

I'm getting this unit for free brand new, and it would be an upgrade from my B tier 850w PSU. However I didn't see this one on the tier list, is it any good?

Is this a lost cause

Recently, got this computer for free. And now I know why it was. It has no operating system. And I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't install one on here. I'm not super computer savvy but it came with an installation disk; that's not working. I downloaded an OS and an installer to a flash drive and that didn't work. Tried rearranging the booting sequence nothing...

I can’t get logged into my second hand PC.

Hello, I’ll be perfectly honest here— I’ve had this PC for a year now, and I’ve not been able to really use it once because of this problem, and I’ve been procrastinating getting any help for some reason.

Last year, I got this PC for free off of Facebook Marketplace, and when I got home I discovered I couldn’t get logged in— I had the pin and everything, but it only gave me an error code and tried to get me to login to the previous owners account.

I contacted the previous owner, and they never responded.

Therefore, this entire time I’ve had this setup rotting away in storage.. but now I wanna use it, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything I could think to try (I’m very new to PC’s, so I could’ve missed something) and I’m completely stumped.

Is there anything I can do, or should I just bite the bullet and get a new monitor?

Would that even work?

Any help / Advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Images are the pages I’ve ran into whilst trying to get logged in, but everything there has been a dead end.

The first Cheese LAN was a success!

Held in July in Green Bay, WI with 28 attendees. We consumed 16 liters of Sun Drop slushy over the course of the event, while playing a mix of old/new titles. There was a Rocket League tournament, as well as Cheese Rolling competition, and a mystery game (Sewer Rave), which all had prizes. Throughout the evening, we did surprise giveaways called Cheese Time, where the admins threw various types of packaged cheese around the room. We also gave out free energy drinks at night to keep everyone juiced. The AC was set to a comfortable 70F and I'm pleased to say, no one was stinky.

This was the first "big" LAN in the area in over 12 years. This area used to host 100+ person LAN's (KI LAN & GBLAN) with cash tournaments that people flew in for. This event is the continuation of that group, and some of the original admins were in attendance. We put a lot into this, including buying a full 2.5G network, a power breakout panel, and characters/mascots designed by an artist out of Toronto. Seeing Steam downloads ripping locally over 1.6GB/s was novel. Special shout out to the supporters who helped finance the equipment!

We're definitely hosting another event in July of 2027 and possibly one this winter. CheeseLAN.com and join the discord if you're interested :-D

Razer Scammed me out of my PC because It was bought second-hand... What do I do?

I’m new to Reddit and English isn’t my first language, so I’m writing this with the help of AI. I’ll keep it short.

I bought a second-hand Razer Blade 16. The seller provided the original proof of purchase, and I also have the previous owner’s RMA/service report showing that Razer had already repaired this exact laptop.

The laptop developed the same trackpad issues again, so I contacted Razer support.

At first, everything went perfectly. Support approved the RMA, created the shipping label, told me to send the laptop to their repair center in Germany (At the time of starting the RMA, I was in the US for an internship; my actual residence is in France, and that's where the pc was bought initially), and even told me the repair would take around 3-5 business days after receiving it. I shipped it using the instructions they gave me.

Then things went downhill.

The package apparently got stuck with FedEx. Razer told me they were investigating it and kept telling me to wait all whilst they kept spamming FedEx tickets under my name and email without ever responding to them or picking back up the previous ticket (to the point where FedEx directly emailed me to stop doing so, even if it wasn't me). This went on for weeks.

And today, after weeks of waiting, Razer suddenly CLOSED my case and accused me of providing falsified or doctored information.

Their reason? Something apparently didn't match their records regarding the product registration, proof of purchase, or address information.

I explicitly told them from the beginning that I bought the laptop SECOND-HAND. I provided the original proof of purchase and the previous owner's RMA report.

I genuinely don't understand how buying a second-hand product suddenly makes me a fraudster.

What makes this even worse is that they already approved the RMA, gave me a shipping label, accepted the laptop into their process, and had me send the damn thing away.

Now I'm left without my laptop, and apparently I'm the one being treated like I did something wrong.

I have all the support conversations, documents, photos, and RMA information saved.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with Razer? What can I do from here?

Grand Theft Auto V has been ported to the browser

Saw a post about this in a Facebook group and figured it was fake or some cloud gaming thing. It's not. It's fucking legit.

I clicked it fully expecting one of those scam sites that makes you download some sketchy "launcher" .exe, or at best a laggy cloud stream. Instead it just loaded the actual game right there in the browser. I checked the page source because I didn't believe it, and someone apparently got the whole GTA V engine running in WebAssembly. It pulls the game files in while it loads, shows the real loading screen, and then lets you pick story mode or some sandbox mode. I'm getting 60fps on it. Insane!

I'm not affiliated with whoever made it in any way, just found it and had to share because nobody seems to be talking about it.

Would you guys be concerned if your Pc is under a mini split

Unfortunately there is not much I can do and I don’t really have any other options to move it. It also can’t go on the floor because I have a 1 year old that may knock it down. Normally I wouldn’t be concerned but I know mini splits/ACs can cause water leakage over time if something is wrong. Not sure if I’m overthinking it but is anyone else in the same situation where there pc has to be there. Is there anything I should do for precaution?
