Lets just quickly discuss replacing the batteries first

Also, the caps separated from the bottle fall through dinky cracks easier, like street drain covers) and get lost easier (or drop out of the bottom of the bin easier, etc.), being attached to the large bottle makes that more difficult to occur.

It's true, my language suggests I had researched that and found it to be true. When the truth is I just trusted my friends recount. I'll edit my post.

If I had had any response at all, I wouldn't be saying anything at all here. The reality is that I have had no response - not an unsatisfactory suggestion, not a tech support suggestion, not a "this is your fault", not one single word has reached me from them. I'm not telling you what the fault is, because it's irrelevant... 3 months waiting for any response at all (after several more follow up emails from me requesting a response) is diabolically bad customer support.

Regarding your CSI style breakdown of my inner reasonings, like whatever makes you happy.

Regarding copying and pasting my response, yeah I did that because I was quoting someone who turns out to be have been wrong 🤷‍♂️

As mentioned above, I live in the EU.

Hey!

I want to encourage economic activity within Europe and also ethically align with recycled materials etc.

I'm trying to buy myself a hydration pack for running long distance with, and it's hard to convince myself of anything better than osprey:

  • I'm familiar with the company and they have high standards
  • they have a great guarantee to repair products
  • they use recycled materials
  • the product "Duro 6" fits every requirement that I have

Before I go ahead and buy that, can anyone suggest an equal or better product produced in Europe.

Edit: I ended up with Salomon and it's great!

 

Hey everyone,

I have a gaming laptop with fedora installed and in general have no problems with it. However I would like to play some games on it from Steam.

So I installed the Nvidia drivers and when the laptop is not using an external monitor it's great, the games performance are 10/10.

However I most often use my laptop plugged into an ultrawide monitor and when I do that with the Nvidia driver active all sorts of strangle artifacts show up on the screen and the edges go blue and shudder, this slowly gets worse over the course of about 15 minutes until I cannot use the laptop at all and need to reboot.

Using the built in drivers the ultrawide monitor is completely fine, but games run very poorly.

Does any one have any experience with this, and any idea if there's something I can do to correct it?
