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...

So, a few months back, my sister accidentally dropped the laptop and for some reason, it wasn’t booting up anymore. When i tried to watch YouTube videos and try to do stuff in bios, like changing boot mode and stuff, it said “no recoverable boot device found” so I figured that I’ll have to install windows 10 again. I did...

Hello! I am interested in creating my own cloud storage network, but I have to idea how to even start it. It’s just for myself, mainly pictures and videos. Ideally what I would like to do is be able to manually and/or automatically upload pictures and videos from my phone to my home cloud storage. I have Xfinity as my service...

I recently encountered an error with my router that required a factory reset in order to fix. I figured since I was already resetting everything, I’d might as well reorganize my network. I switched from 192 to 10 based IPs. I got all my devices configured and everything connects to the internet fine, no hiccups anywhere,...

I do lots of testing of apps in real phones, not emulators....

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....

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....

Edit for anybody who finds this post later: It was an Ubuntu specific issue. Swapping it for Fedora has allowed sleep to work perfectly. I suspect the Ubuntu kernels have an issue with certain motherboards....

I was cloning my moms 237gb ssd to her new 1tb ssd on her windows 11 S computer using clonezilla and after booting into the 1tb drive it is showing up as 237gb. So I took out my live usb with gparted only to find out the partition used to store the data was indeed taking up 1tb. Is the a reason why it is not showing up as 1tb....

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 ?

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...

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....

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...
