I am experiencing a technical issue that I can’t even explain, let alone fix....

I think some banks utilize some feature built in PDF Readers to PREVENT printing of “SENSITIVE” information in a PDF, by blocking parts with black bars....

Like the title says, I’ve got yesterday an email with a code to access my Microsoft account and that made me suspicious because I wasn’t trying to login to my account. When I looked at the login attempts I saw that someone else was trying to access my account, I changed my password, activated TFA. Thinking of going through...

I went to turn on my PC this morning and my mouse wasn’t responding. I checked that it was plugged in, and it was, but the mouse’s lights weren’t coming on and Synapse didn’t detect anything. I plugged in the wireless receiver and my computer detected that, but it still didn’t affect the mouse itself. I tested the cord...

Hi all,...

I’ll briefly summarize and then go into more detail on what ive tried. Build...

I like recording my gameplays as a hobby, especially since I watched some youtubers recording theirs. But I have some issues on Lubuntu:...

I have a few external hard drives that are connected over USB for backup storage. I power them down when not in use because it unnecessarily uses power and adds wear to the drives....

I recently bought this motherboard, based on descriptions on pcpartpicker.com and B&H’s website. Both sites claim the board has 5 PCIe x16 slots (2x version 4, and 3x version 3). But I have the board in front of me, and while it certainly has full length slots, most of the pins are missing in all but one of them. Closer...

So I opened this harddisk because it was not spinning and it kept on making a click sound. This is an old harddisk , so I understand that the technology has changed. But I can’t seem to find the read head parking area which most tutorials show or explain. So my question is, which is the resting position of this read head? Also...

I had already uninstalled Creative Cloud but its zombie folder was still there. (Win11/64bit/most recent updates.) Looked for hours, tried tons, nothing would work. Maybe for you Adobe’s unPinCCF tool would work, or using regedit to set System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree to 0 would - but not for me....

The system:...

I saw a post in a forum about connecting an external GPU to an x200 ThinkPad and it’s made me curious what the limitations are and what models you could use one on. I am not very familiar with eGPUs....

Marking as solved! The solution is a tad cumbersome (can’t directly control in-browser), but it comes with a bonus I didn’t even think to ask for (mp3 files that I can save to my phone and listen to in the car!)....

Edit for solution. Ended up being the cpu. Bought a 5600x that worked flawlessly, and my 5900x was still under warranty. Just got the replacement back from amd and it’s also working good....

Because i am local admin and i’m authorized to do whatever i want, i can use process explorer....

This started a few days ago. I’ve been getting texts from friends with iPhones in the wrong order, and seemingly they are getting mine late. So I texted a friend whose grandmother was in the hospital yesterday, and her conversation with me looked like this. These texts from her arrived around a minute apart each. I think the...

I have no clue what could have gone wrong as it was working fine last night but now it’s doing this. Any solution other than data recovery and a new hard drive ?

Requesting advice/ recommendations for steps forward. Is the NAS cooked? Could I upgrade the drives and still get some life out of it?. How likely is it just a single bay (not the disk) failed on the nas?...

Actually, after disabling the ad blocker, this message still appears, how can I get rid of it? Is the creator of this generator even trying to fix this?

Yesterday I saw a post about the Reddit IPO and commented on it. The post was on c/World News of Lemmy.World and seemed to just have been posted since it had no comments....

Hello everyone. Very recently I started using perchance.org website for generating AI image from text prompt. But the problem I can’t use this website normally: a window “Your browser sends to be blocking ads” keeps popping up saying that my browser is supposedly blocking ads. But anyway I don’t actually use any ad...
