This isn’t a question but rather a solution to a problem I couldn’t find anywhere online, apologies if this is the wrong community....

Hi troops, I’m trying to get photos files from my dad’s old HDDs. We no longer have access to any old PCs to acutally plug them in, so I was wondering if you could point me to some sort of USB converter that would allow me to grab files from them. My cousin has a PC but it’s a newer model with more up to date connection to...

Hello,...

I flashed a retro pie installer onto my SD card, but it had important files I can’t replace on it, now it’s FAT and the only FAT formats Windows will read is FAT32 and exFAT, I have recuva but I am scared that if I reformat the card I will lose all evidence of the files existing which = BAD

Hello, just upgraded to 0.19.1 and I’m surfing around the lemmyverse and it seems I needed w have mod rights like everywhere....

hey guys,...

I was thinking a “random” button that links to a random community would be a useful feature, but I’m not sure where there is a community that discusses general ideas and changes to the Lemmy source.

I have an Benq EX2510 (the older model from 2020) and I have a gtx 1660 super with an i5 10400f in my pc. The motherboard is MSI b460 m pro vdh wifi....

I bought a new CPU fan and when i took the one I had it came out with my CPU(AMD Ryzen 7 I stolefrom my friends abusive ex so I can’t even be upset if it breaks and I was careful I made sure I was grounded when handling it)inoticed the pins in the corner were bent. I unbent them but I noticed these were gone. This is the...

This has been in the back of my mind lately as I think about bouncing between OSes. Typically various Linux distros seem to be able to recognize just about any filesystem, but the same definitely can’t be said of Windows, and I suspect MacOS as well....

Hey - what else do you all do to back your data up outside of just depending on icloud or dropbox? I’m just curious how everyone handles additional backups.

Ok so normally this has happened when the laptop has started heating up and the cursor just stops working a connected mouse never has any problems. Dricer updates not an issue

My motherboard provides 4x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports for rear I/O and another 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports for front I/O (through the header), but my chipset only supports 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports. Where is the support for the other ports coming from?...

I have a moderately long HDMI cable running to a screen that has worked for quite a while. Recently the screen lost its connection. I replaced the cable with the exact same model of HDMI cable, and its all good. The cables arent frequently inserted or removed, and they are otherwise in good condition. I have no idea how or why...

As soon as my laptop isnt connected to the charger the screen starts blinking a 5-10 times a minute. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Checked driver updates and alls well there

I really had no idea where on Lemmy to ask this, so apologies if this seems like a bit of a strange place to post....

Hiya! I have a known good Ubuntu 22.04 USB that has worked on other devices, but when I try to install it on this PC I get a blank screen with “stdin: Invalid argument” repeated 30 times or so, and at the bottom it says “Unable to find medium contained a live file system” and then attempts to boot from URL. (For some...

For those that don’t know the PSVR can use any HDMI input and display it in a flat picture but in VR. I was hoping to set this up with my desktop, PS3, Xbox 360, and PS2 to work in those mode....

I used to have one of those gaming keyboards that lets you reprogram any key - I’m back to just a standard keyboard, but this seems like the kind of thing a modern computer should be able to do without a “gaming” peripheral....

I am running virus scans while writing this post, I’ll try to edit the post with the details when they are finished....

Hi...

Seriously, who do we have to email to fix this? I’ve already filed a complaint with the FCC just out of frustration dealing with customer service reps who refuse to open a ticket or pass it up the chain.

I’ve just bought a Samsung T7 Shield SSD and the connection is fairly loose. I’ve seen people complaining about theirs being very loose to the point where it would just get disconnected with normal movements. In my case it is not as severe, as regularly it doesn’t seem to come off and, for example, when connected to my...
