Hey, all. Happy Pride.
We expect violence. It's just one of those years. The events I've chosen are less likely - I don't know that art fairs and academic talks are the biggest targets - but here I am with my frustrating tiny girl pockets, and I'd like to be able slow bleeding without carrying more than a very small purse or one-shoulder mini backpack. I'm mildly disabled and not lugging things around helps with fatigue.
I took the extra benedryl tablets out of my wallet so I could shove a pair of body-safe gloves in. Sunscreen, water, and phone are non-negotiable. There's an old mini leatherman on my keys and a little pill tube that has room. I've honestly never had the hand strength to get the knives on most multi-tools open, and the scissors have dulled with age.
I have at least another liter of space to play with. I'm always tempted to pack tampons & pads, as those are already owned, lightweight, and multi-purpose. Maybe a clean hand towel? I'm not interested in spending a bunch of money, but I keep reading that real tourniquets are a literal life-saver.
I took quite a few first aid classes 20-30 years ago; hopefully youtube is a decent refresher. I know CPR guidelines have especially changed, but I can't imagine giving effective CPR for very long with my strength. My joints would be mad at me for at least a year for trying. Other people with my disorder sometimes have to wear joint braces and use mobility aids; I'm not there yet hope not to be for 30-40 more years.
ETA: this convinced me tampons aren't a great plan for bullet wounds. https://emj.bmj.com/content/35/8/516.responses

Looking for a mod on Xbox that will remove every single friendly NPC that won't attack on sight, and hopefully replace them with a hostile one, preferably not a ghost. I'm also looking for one that will make all the towns, cities and villages either feel/look abandonded or look destroyed. As hard as I try, I can't seem to find anything for this.
Everything below this is mostly filler for why I need to the mod. Not too important.
This is something I'm using to currently mod my Xbox Skyrim into a Destiny game based around the Warlords period when Earth fell into a collapse. If I really could, I'd get a mod that removes all the NPC's and replaces them with Hive or Eliksni, but that definitely doesn't exist. Goal of the modpack I'm making is to add Destiny themed gear and weapons, a single Eliksni follower, Hive enemies, and a heavy survival and class building focus to keep myself alive.
Current modlist (will replace them with the actual names later):
USSEP
Cheat Room
All Heavy Overhaul Keyword 'moonprince' Mods
Destiny 2 Guardian Armor
Destiny 2 Eliksni Armor
Drifters Arsenal
ELFX + Shadows + Exteriors + Enhanced Ver.s + Patches
DAWN
If you have any other suggestions for this modpack, feel free to give them to me.

Good day/afternoon. Its me... the copy of the sentient account from however long ago. I really should post more often, shouldn't I? Eh, doesn't matter. I'm here now. Please say you've read the title, because I don't really know how to put it in words, aside from: Spider-Men... or... Women... maybe with symbiotes... you get the point.
I'm on the hunt for a Spider-Verse style RP, with more symbiotes than just Venom, and with OCs, just to see how creative I am compared to others. Probably not that creative, but I like to try.
The main plot I'm looking differs to the Venom-Verse and Spider-Verse storyline. Yes, there will be inter-dimensional travel, but I'm looking for an overarching storyline involving, say, a more villainous Venom (borderline Carnage) who teams up with Morlun to hunt down interdimension spider-people and symbiotes( and the hosts) because Venom realised that... well, I can't really put it in this post because it might get taken down, but let's say that Venom having a nibble of a certain something from Spider-Men (clue: it's found in the head) will make him a bit more power-hungry... ravenous, really, as well as actually increasing his own power's levels. Same goes with other Symbiotes he comes across.
The dynamic I'm looking for is that one of us plays a symbiote host (who can't be trusted because of the aforementioned Venom situtation) and the other person plays a spider-person OC of theirs with... whatever twist they want. If possible, I'd like to play the symbiote host.
I also have some minor things I want to say: - please have an OC bio.

• while I'm flexible, I write in 1st Person. I find it more emersive, and I'd prefer it if the other person did the same.
  
• be civil. Its easier to get along with someone that way.
  
• OOC talk, I'm fine with. Communication, I believe, is key for a lot, including a successful RP.
  
• I'm in England. I may not going to be awake at the same time you are. Be aware of this fact.
  
• I'm a casual RPer. I won't meet all of your specific requirements like references, face claims, etc.
  

This is about it. If you've read this far, know that I'll only talk to you if you text me, 1: with Reddit chat, and 2: your first message is "MISERUM".
Until then, enjoy sleeping or your breakfast, whichever one you're having now. As I'm writing this, it's 22 past 5 (pm).

Hello,
Running Bicep CLI version 0.16.2
I've been having an issue with a Bicep deployment related to the Microsoft.Insights/[email protected] resource. The main challenge is handling a diagnosticSettings object that sometimes includes a keyVault property and sometimes does not.
Here's the relevant part of my Bicep code:
bicep resource resKeyVaultDiagnostic 'Microsoft.Insights/[email protected]' = if (deployDiagnosticServices && !empty(diagnosticSettings.keyVault)) { name: 'KeyVault-diagnostic' scope: diagnosticSettings.keyVault ? resKeyVault : resourceGroup() properties: { logs: [for log in (!empty(diagnosticSettings.keyVault.logs) ? diagnosticSettings.keyVault.logs : []): { category: log enabled: true retentionPolicy: diagnosticSettings.retentionPolicy }] metrics: [for metric in (!empty(diagnosticSettings.keyVault.metric) ? diagnosticSettings.keyVault.metrics : []): { category: metric enabled: true retentionPolicy: diagnosticSettings.retentionPolicy }] storageAccountId: !empty(logStorageAccountId) ? null : logStorageAccountId workspaceId: !empty(logAnalyticsWorkspaceId) ? null : logAnalyticsWorkspaceId } }
When deploying, I receive this error message:
Deployment template validation failed: 'The template resource 'KeyVault-diagnostic' at line '1' and column '8371' is not valid: The language expression property 'keyVault' doesn't exist, available properties are ''.. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-functions for usage details.'. (Code: InvalidTemplate)
My understanding is that the error arises because I'm trying to access properties of diagnosticSettings.keyVault (like logs and metrics) without ensuring that keyVault exists. I've tried to handle this by using the empty function to check if diagnosticSettings.keyVault, diagnosticSettings.keyVault.logs, and diagnosticSettings.keyVault.metrics are empty. However, this approach doesn't seem to work, and the error persists.
At this point, I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a normal error. I'm looking for assistance on how to correctly handle the scenario where keyVault might not exist in the diagnosticSettings object, and how to avoid the error I'm currently encountering. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Reddit.
Please Help: I think my small town does their own secret background check. Please read this post with the theme song to Twin Peaks in your head.
10 years ago, I found out my husband (a minister) was on drugs and selling it in our very small town, population about 1,000. I was stupid to think the cars stopping in front of my place where looking at how cute my house was. No, No, they were there to buy drugs. I caught him selling it one day when I forgot my purse and had to quickly turn around to get it. Anyway, he works for a very large prominent business here in the area..
The first job I applied to after raising my kid and finding out I'd be on my own (was a sahm), I was hired and everything was falling into place to start work in a week. Processing ebay listings for a large local business. They were just waiting on my background check. two days after I submitted my information for the background check, this business completely ghosted me. I tried calling them to get info on what time to show up and they wouldn't even answer the phone. They blocked my phone number, it rang and rang no matter how many times I called. I never heard from them again. I didn't care enough to march down there and demand an answer. I was honestly all set to start. I should have demanded a reason.
Second. Applied for work at the college in my town. I would be working with the chief of police's wife and one other woman. Again, when they ran the background check and the two women I worked with completely changed tunes and began acting scared of me, talking in whispers around me. I did get the job, though, but it was only part time. They always kept their distance from me.
I finally found work at another company 1hour and 15 min away in the nearest big city, background check and everything, no problems. I still work there and love it . I also volunteer, and passed that background check just fine. That involved every type of legit background check there is.
Fast forward to today. My kid is now a teenager. He applied for a job at a local store. They LOVED him and begged him to work there because he's smart and good with people, hard working. He worked last summer at a different business and they loved him. He started work at the new place, but he needed to do a background check within two weeks after starting.
The woman who was in charge there began acting like she was scared of my ex-husband and I when we went to sign some papers for the kid. The manager's voice was inexplicably very nervous. It was so odd. My son noticed before I said anything. "Mom why was she so scared of you guys?) She pretended so many times to fumble with the background check; she asked my son if it was possible that he shared a name with another family member. No, he has a unique name. The manager kept pretending to fumble so much with that background check, stalling. Well, after he had worked there 4 weeks, they inexplicably fired him. the manager lied and said I had refused to sign the background check authorization form, but she never told me to check my email, or that it was even being sent! They also made up another complete lie about something he did, which would be video. I did a search in my gmail after the fact, and I had the email in the inbox from 1 week before he was fired. They had been fumbling with that background check for 3 weeks. One other thing, is a few days before he was fired, they changed his schedule overnight in the app that does the scheduling. It appears they were trying every which way to find a way to fire him, but decided against that one.
I know that small town people can be weird and awkward, and this whole thing might boil down to me being a race that isn't white and everyone in this town is white, but I just wondered:
Have you ever heard of a secret or private, small town "background check" that involves some key prominent businesses who know things about people that wouldn't be on a background check? I KNOW my son doesn't have a record, and I KNOW I don't (I passed an extensive volunteer background check recently).
Thanks in advance!

I've made an app where users can rate bands they have seen at a festival. There are 118 bands and in theory i guess someone could just watch 5 bands. In my app if someone did rate only 5 bands there would be 5 ratings in my rating table and then 113 null entries and against the rest of the bands.
Just thinking is that the best way to go about this? Or is there a way I can just enter the actual ratings instead?
My model has 2 classes Band and Rating and i have a user table using the following class.
Rating has two foreign keys, BandId and UserID

from django.contrib.auth.models import User 

Hello fellow Hunters and Specters!
I just wanted to voice out my thoughts on the game so far and hope the Devs can make changes in the future. pros: * very fun and interesting game mechanics. like prophunt but so much more * I love how ghosts can still lose even after midnight strikes, they can't always just run up to hunters and win! * really nice graphics and sound effects * abilities and perks are easily obtainable, just a few hours of playing and you've gotten everything already! * very fun with a set group of friends playing * the references to other coffee stain games. I love satisfactory and DRG so its fun to see them around cons: * gameplay loop can get repetitive * lots of problems with staying connected to a good servehost. if the host decides to leave mid-game. sorry, you just wasted 4-5 mins for nothing. * toxic community. communicating in this game is pretty important, especially since coordinating where to search and designating who has the vacuum is key. sadly, these past 3 days have been the most i've heard the following words said with impunity: fg*t, dk, gy, ngg*r to name a few. This greatly saddens me. -I was playing on the Oceana and North American Servers-
In conclusion, this is truly a wonderful game, I can see so much love and heart put into it. I'd love to continue playing but I unfortunately will be dropping this game. I only have so much time outside of work to play a few rounds. getting disconnected when the game was just getting interesting or hearing so many cuss words said a minute is sadly not very fun or relaxing. I hope that something is done in the future to remedy this.

Hello everyone!
Lurker for a while here, and now first time poster.
This is just an appreciation post for this community. I can say that the people from this sub, whether the ones posting the same questions I had or the good souls answering and offering tips, have helped me understanding better the end content of this game that I've always thought I'd never touch. Since I consider myself a casual player, I believed that doing things like dungeons outside RDF was beyond my skills/knowledge about the game...
And look, I've been playing WoW on and off for years, with huge gaps between them. But nothing beyond leveling, exploring and RDF. -- basic PVE stuff. The last time I played a fair amount of time was during the pandemic, but then a few things happened, and I only got to experience the tip of Shadowlands. But about two months ago I felt the itch again to play my old resto shaman, and enjoy again the PVE aspect of WoW that I love: healing in dungeons (my all-time favorite role no matter the game).
I picked up Shadowland's campaign from where I have left, and once finished, I asked myself if I should buy Dragonflight. While looking for opinions about the xpac, I found this community, and a lot of people asking questions that I also had/have.
I saw many questions about M+, the same ones that I had. I decided to give it a shot... I followed the advice offered about getting catch up gear, about learning the dungeons before doing them (I didn't even know some people created videos about specific dungeons in so much detail), learning mechanics, learning rotations, what people expect from my class.
Since I have no friends to play this game with, I have only run pugs so far. I started very slowly. I waited for the start of season 2, learned as best as I could three dungeons, and started doing them with randos. A lot of +2s. Then slowly progressing until I felt things were too heavy.
Now I am at 435 ilvl, 2100 rating, and the highest key I've done was +16. For now, I feel that I won't be able to help my group so much if I go above that. The heal checks feel heavy, even though sometimes not that much. Sometimes a +16 feels like a breeze, while other times the same dungeon is so tough...
Anyway. I feel this is already a decent achievement for me, someone who has never touched this kind of content before. And I want to thank this community for being so helpful, patient and kind with people not as experienced as others out there.
I still have many questions about M+ and other things in the game, but for now I just want to say: THANK YOU wownoob !!

So just a little bit ago I just lost one of my key survivors 😭 I was doing the Sheriff’s legacy mission Loyalty and I get to the last enclave and I’m always ready for a fight. So I do my usual thing, I throw a blister cloud grenade and these three fuckers dodged it, and all go after my follower. I’m getting hit badly and decide to jump out a window, when I do that I get stuck between the panes of the said window😑I can’t do anything and I’m trying my hardest to hit the stuck button(looking back now I should have just exited the game immediately instead 😓). I had to put her down and retrieve her things😢I found her about a year ago in Providence Ridge, she was one of those rare survivors with a skeleton hoodie and she had the most beautiful name I’ve ever heard: Elizabeth Rose Carpenter. Unless they(Undead Labs) does a feature where you can bring back a survivor from the dead I am officially done playing State of Decay 2 forever. Rest In Peace Elizabeth💐

Hi,
First time posting here (34M) but I thought maybe some of you might be able to help me understand my experience. Part of me feels bad, what I went throught was nowhere near as difficult or long lasting as many others here, but the fact is it's still having a big impact on me nearly three years on.
Things that happened earlier on in my life meant that I wasn't really in a position for a relationship until my mid-late 20s, and didn't start actively looking and (online) dating until then. I met some great people, many of whom are still friends, and a couple of them became a thing for a little while. But for some reason I mostly couldn't feel it. Waiting to see whether feelings would develop felt uncomfortably like leading on, so I tended not to. But as time went on I increasingly doubted my judgement. Was I too picky, or did I have commitment issues? Is a connection something you build rather than find? Would what felt “right” to me even make me happy? So when a mutual friend told me a woman who'd joined in my hiking group was into me, I was open to seeing where things could go. We weren't super close but she seemed nice, my friends thought she was great, and we got on well and had a lot of interests in common.
It started ok. It was nice to spend time outside together and share the active things we both loved, as well as more low key stuff like just cooking and hanging out together. I tried to resist the instinct to put the brakes on as I'd done previously, and though I still did somewhat, things went much quicker than I was used to and it took some adjustment. She was very keen to tell everyone about us straight away, whereas I wanted to keep things quiet while we were seeing where things were going. I won't pretend I didn't have some doubts. She told me she loved me about two weeks in which I was a little taken aback by, and I did see a different side to her when I met her family that I wasn't sure I liked (she seemed inconsiderate and entitled). But I hadn't seen that before, excused it as family dynamics, and tried to silence the doubts that I'd reasoned had held me back in the past.
I was comfortable with where things were for a while and content taking it a day at a time. But when lockdown loomed she asked whether she could stay with me. We were about four months in at this point and I said it was too much too soon for me. I was also worried about my vulnerable flatmate, and was in fact looking to temporarily move out myself at the time. She was disappointed, but understood. But when lockdown was announced she turned up at my doorstep in tears, and said her parents had kicked her out 😕 Of course I was upset and sympathetic, and said she could stay.
It was very strange, and I found it difficult. But it was a strange and difficult time anyway, and it was only going to be for a few weeks. Neither of us chose this, so I figured we'd just make the best of it. But the lockdowns kept rolling, and eventually I got used to the unease.
There were things I enjoyed. It was nice going for walks, growing vegetables, inspiring each other to cook interesting things, having little holidays when we could. And to just share the practical day to day things and take up each other's slack. But it was very intense. It's not a big flat and we were both working from home most of the time. I really struggled not being able to have more than a few minutes to myself a day, or my own space to retreat to. She's a very "type A" person and always needed to be doing something, and was restless and irritable if she wasn't or had to spend time in her own company. I found myself on edge most of the time.
It began to bother me that the connection still only felt superficial despite spending so much time together. It was the closest to a "normal" relationship I've had and we did all the couply things, but it felt like going through the motions. Conversation never went beyond small talk. I didn't feel understood or safe opening up to her, and felt lonely and cut off. I didn't like the sense of entitlement with which she treated my housemate or my friends, and how she talked about her family and colleagues. Close friends were concerned and said they sensed a change in me, but I couldn't see it. I've read the messages back since and it's painful how right they were and how in denial I was. But at the time it just added pressure and I blocked it out and dug my heels in. I didn't like how we became one entity, all my things became "our" things, including my possessions, opinions, values, friends and memories.
But despite all that I still doubted and second guessed myself, and made excuses for her. I think I always knew that living with a partner would take some getting used to and perhaps some compromises, so attributed a lot of it to that. It was hard to maintain perspective when I hardly ever saw anyone else. And I still saw the lockdown as a finite thing. Weirdly after a while I did suddenly feel a lot more at ease with it all, almost overnight. I now recognise that as the start of a sort of shutdown. My memory is a bit hazy for the few months after that, but it was taking a toll on me physically. I wasn't sleeping and ended up folding the sofa bed out many nights to have my own space. I tried to carry on working but mostly just went back to my bed to doze during the day. I lost so much weight. I had a bit of a wake up call after I managed a few days away on my own - it was the first time apart in six months of living together and cleared my head a little. So when I got back to find that she'd put her own bedsheets on, put her pictures up, and just made the place feel different, I was able to recognise how absurd it all was.
It took me a couple more weeks to put things in place and pluck up the courage before telling her I wanted to talk about living together, because it wasn't working for me. I was worried about how she might react, and it went spectacularly badly. She left and told me not to contact her until I'd made up my mind, then pressured me to make a decision. I wasn't really able to think and headspace is all I was asking for at the time, but her reaction made it simple. It ended after just under a year together.
It was an immediate relief, but I was still a wreck for months afterwards. It took me a very long time to feel relaxed at home and in my own bed again, it's still not quite the same. I think the depression came as I began to get on top of my physical health had the capacity to take stock of things about six months later. And when accidentally stumbling across a picture of her nearly a year later triggered another breakdown I realised it was maybe a bigger deal than I'd thought. We hadn't really had any contact, but that prompted me to go full block/ delete.
In hindsight it never really felt like a relationship, we never had the fundamentals of trust and communication down. I'm very much to blame, I downplayed how I was feeling because I was doubting myself and worried how she'd react, and making things easy when there seemed to be no other option made sense at the time. I did set boundaries but didn't do a good enough job of defending them, I've never had to before and it caught me off guard. And in the moment it was a textbook "boiling frog" scenario. I was surprised she didn't sense anything amiss, but I don't think she was ever actually that interested in me. I just think she liked having a boyfriend because it fit her life plan (she talked about buying a house together from early on), and seemed annoyed at me for disrupting that more than anything. She found someone else pretty soon after.
On reflection, I don't believe she was kicked out. I remember her mum asking me to "take good care of her" a few days before she moved in, and was a bit perplexed by that, but didn't think any more of it at the time. She told mutual friends that I'd invited her to move in. In hindsight, she was often able to turn the tears on and off very abruptly. I'd believed that moving back in with her parents wasn't an option for her, but things didn't add up.
It bothers me how much it's all still on my mind 😕 And that even the mention of her can elicit such a strong reaction years on. I can't believe it's been that long, it doesn't seem like it, but it feels like I'm still strangely trapped by it. I know other people go through much worse for much longer. I have wondered whether moving out would help, but rent is so expensive elsewhere. I've spent a couple of thousand on therapy over the last year and in some ways the therapy has helped, in others it's made it harder because it's validated things and I can see it with more clarity.
I sure it would've been easier to move on if she wasn't so wrapped up with my friends and social life. The hiking group really meant a lot to me, it was the most accepted I've felt, gave me a lot of things I hadn't had before and allowed me to draw a line under what had happened in the past. It felt like life had finally got going for me. Now it feels less like turning a corner and more like a bittersweet memory of a fun few years. I haven't ruled out going back, I'm just trying to work out what's best for me. Losing it has been painful and maybe having it back in my life would help with closure. I've put a lot of effort ito finding new ways to meet people in the years since, but nothing's really worked. I suspect I won't know until I try, but it feels like a big risk.
Thanks so much if you read all that, I'm sorry it was so long and self-pitying 😕 I try to be stoic about it, think of what I learned, and know that there were good times. I don't want to just frame myself as a victim either, I'm responsible too and hurt her (and myself) by not being more open about my reservations and struggles. But I can see why did, and I was honestly trying to make a go of it for a while. As I say this is still on my mind much more than I'd like, and I'd be super grateful if anyone has any thoughts. In particular I'm wondering.

• Since the relationship I've become aware of narcissism and have been able to identify a lot of traits (with the help of friends and my therapist). A couple of people have also told me it sounds abusive. To be honest I'm not sure, she was selfish and inconsiderate but I don't think she was malicious. But how I'm feeling might suggest otherwise. Any thoughts?
• Would it be madness to go back to the group and (very likely) see her again? I would have to make it clear beforehand that I want minimal contact but I still worry about how I'd react seeing her in person. Stumbling across a photo propted a breakdown in the past, and until recently I'd flinch everytime I saw a car that looked like hers.
• I think I've only recently realised that I'll have to accept not having some form of closure. Which is progress, but is leaving me feeling a little lost. Have you found a way to cope with the sense of injustice?

Thanks so much again for reading! It's nice just to share. Good luck to everyone.

I just bought a new macbook pro (m2 chip). My previous computer was the last intel chip macbook pro. I had a disk with time machine backups from years and years but it had so many carried over errors that I was told by apple people that I should start fresh on my next machine to avoid "bringing over pre-existing errors" so that's what i did.
So i set up my new macbook pro (m2) like it was a brand new computer and then brought over all of my files (images, documents, music, etc) from my old computer using airdrop, text message, email, and jump drives. For most of the applications, i re-downloaded them to my new computer from the web and just re-entered the serial number information for them on an individual basis (in other words, i didn't just copy the application from one computer to the other expecting that it would work. The ONLY applications i did this with were like 3 tiny little applications that i had bought on the fly over the last few years - kind of widget type applications (like PDF Squeezer for example) -- some of them worked and some of them did not. I trashed the ones that did not.
Anyway, once i had transferred everything I went in to do a FIRST AID of my new system to check and make sure all was well. That's when I saw an error list from HELL.
The Snapshot first aid seems to be fine, however the DATA first aid lists all of these messages that say something like:
"warning: inode (id 3848271): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file"
all with varying numbers. There is a whole string of these errors.
here's a chunk of the end code:
"warning: inode (id 4179203): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file
Checking the document ID tree.
Checking the fsroot tree.
warning: inode (id 3848271): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file
warning: inode (id 3916349): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file
warning: inode (id 4038434): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file
warning: inode (id 4179203): Resource Fork xattr is missing for compressed file
Checking the extent ref tree.

Verifying volume object map space.

Verifying allocated space.

The volume /dev/rdisk3s5 could not be verified completely.
File system check exit code is 8.
Restoring the original state found as mounted.

So, here's my questions: I was told by apple that i can just keep using this as is if i want and that the hardware isn't in any danger, even with this readout. But i'm wondering what you all think. Do i need to wipe this new one and re-transfer my files some other way? I don't understand why bringing all of these files in made these errors happen in the first place or what they mean. It's very frustrating that i have a brand new computer already riddled with errors.
Do i wipe this and reboot to its original settings and then load my files another way or do i just not worry about these errors? Thoughts?

Pros:
Weight is not a bad as i first thought it would be, its easy to handle for its size.
Beutiful display and good touchscreen, switching to tablet mode is nearly seemless.
The handling in tablet mode is good, i thought that having the keys on the backsite could get annoiying but you dont really feal them.
Good performance
Generaly just beutiful design and good rgb backlight for keyboard.
Ok loudspeakers, clear sound ok bass.
No workload = no fan noises, really quiet in general
Cons:
Battery life, i get about 5 hours max with most things disabled (Screenbrightness 60hz no dedicated gpu and more)
Needed to hardreset and bootet up from a new drive, cuz windows 11 died on me after installing updates when i got the laptop, its hard. Needed to preinstall drivers via usb after booting up and repairing from another harddrive.
Asus software buggy as always, id recomend simply deinstalling and moving over to ghelper.
No dedicated lan slot, needed to buy a usb to lan adapter (wlan module is quite good tho)
Only 2 usb slots.
Had sounddriverissues, but could be bcs hard reset.
Laptop can get quiet hot on the leftside of the keyboard, for those who really want to abuse this laptop id recommend buying a keyboard and mouse to use it in fold mode (im using it lile that for gaming)
All in all id recomend buying the older model becouse it has really good price to performance and is the best laptop/notebook ive had so far.
You need to watch out for qc tho, ive heard many had problems with it and returned theirs.
Deinstall all asus related crapware, install ghelper, saves allot of nerves and is wayyy better for the Battery! Btw AmA i gladly help.
