The sooner you ghost them, the sooner you will have time to make real friends.

Reply to LPT: Admitting when you are wrong, directly and succinctly, is not only being a great teammate, but also a great way to determine friend from foe in the workplace. by AdministrativeAct902
In a perfect world: yes, this.
But in the real world, read the room. Some people may not be in great situations at work and can't leave. If it's unusual at work for anyone to accept fault or admit they were wrong there's likely a good reason for that.
I've worked a big corporate job where your upward mobility was based largely on the appearance of rather than the substance of your work. So even doing good work you were better off never admitting fault because people would use that against you. That job wasn't for me but there were lots of people there with nowhere else to go. They weren't bad people, that was just the world they lived in.
So that said, read the room.

We're all human. We all make mistakes. Mistakes teach you. Those are the things you won't forget, so won't make the mistake again. With that said, nothing ticks me off more than a person who doesn't own up to a mistake they made, when it's clear as a bell it was theirs. They will come up with excuse after excuse to pass the buck. A shame, really.

It's not the water that does anything, it's the pressure. Rubbing will not always work either.

If the person is abusive and violent, conversations are not going to solve anything

Honestly, treat everyone as if they’re a friend you’ve known for a long time.

I assume you purposely spelled it peace and not piece...?

yeah the "pixel fixing videos" on youtube never worked for me as well.
I never heard of the slapping it lightly method, that must of come from frustration.
Anyway, sorry it didn't work for you.

Folding a fitted sheet doesn't take long and it's not that hard once you know how. It also saves space and looks nicer in a closet.

Hah :). Unfortunately for me because of this solution I do not have any stuck pixels to create a quick walkthrough video.

Tried it all, light pressure, heavy pressure, slapping it lightly, slapping it heavily, playing a video that is supposed to fix it, restarting it on and off. everything
So just returned it since nothing would've worked

Why would they lock it?
Good luck with your controlled experiment :).

That's odd as it always has worked for me. Did you apply enough pressure on the screen?

Tried this myself back then and it didn't do anything, tried all the solutions and nothing worked so I just returned my laptop and exchanged it

Have you tried doubling down on the heroic virtue? I hear that usually works.

LPT: read “How to win friends and influence people”. It covers this and more.
