PCIe slots and compatibility (www.msi.com)
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...
How does this harddisk work? (lemmy.world)
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....

What are the limitations of connecting an external GPU to a ThinkPad?

Android phone receiving SMS late/out of order from iPhones
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...

But anyway I don’t actually use any ad...
Need a USBC to USBC/3.5mm jack splitter
Bought a pair of Sennheiser 560s for my computer but I’d like something to plug them into my phone. Of course, my phone doesn’t have a headphone jack (fuck you Google) so I need an adapter. I’d prefer one that allows me to charge and plug my headphones in at the same time, but I can’t find one that seems decent quality....
