I see these constant horror stories of having to pay to print, silly ink prices, having to log onto a web server etc....

Since I joined joined Lemmy, I signed up for two instances (Lemmy.World and Lemmy.Zip) because I didn’t entirely understand the fediverse and also because it seemed useful to be on multiple instances, since Lemmy.World sometimes has outages....

I’m not a big networking guy, so I’m not sure exactly the best way to ask this. My internet tends to drop out a lot, and I get disconnected. I’m wondering if there’s an app out there that I can just put on on my laptop or phone and let it run in the background for like 24 hours to see exactly how many times my internet...

How am I supposed to soldering this? I have both soldering iron and a spool of solder. But most videos show soldering wires instead of what I need as you can see in the picture (disconeted cable on a laptop charger). I would higly appreciate any info and tutorial videos on this....

Hello everyone,...

Per the title, woke up this morning and found my kbin.social magazine subscriptions gone from my Lemmy account. I searched magazine names to resubscribe with no luck. Has Kbin been fully defederated from Lemmy.world? Note that these were smaller magazines not caught up in the spam issues from the other week, and had been working...

I have been using this wifi setup for about a year now. I’ve got a PC, Mac, phone, and tablet, and the PC’s connectivity has always been a bit spottier than the other devices, but today it just threw a full-on temper tantrum and has been refusing to connect for several hours, even though I’m posting this from the Mac...

I’ve noticed in the past few months a new update has made it so that when I alt-tab or click/focus on one of the applications I have open on a separate monitor, the initial program will be greated as a background process and get capped to 30 fps. This usually isn’t a problem, but for Destiny 2 it occasionally causes...

I have assembled my desktop PC about 2 years ago. It’s fairly beefy (AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-Core Processor, 128Go RAM, nVidia RTX 3080 Ti). It’s running debian stable....

Having set up a couple of communities, there is a setting for language. Are these items showing up in my feed because the community has not set their language, or is something going on with language filtering on All? It seems like there’s way more off-language things coming through on All in the last day or two.

Hi all,...

Hello, I have this laptop and need to update it, but the internet seems to be unable to connect. here are some details. at first it worked, but after i updated it (i think) it stopped working. I tried to enter the home’s wifi password and such, but now it says (cant connect to this network). it doesn’t even prompt me to...

So I am looking out for an inkjet printer that can print in A3 size. The Epson ecotanks seem like they best fit my requirements, just wondering if it is actually refillable, and does not lock me out of actually using it after a certain amount of prints, no chips BS and all that. I have seen some stuff about the ink pad filling...

Hey, so I had recently gotten my laptop back from a repair shop after the frame for the screen came loose, and I just got it back today and the USB port isn’t working properly. I try to use my mouse and it doesn’t work, I got an older mouse and used it and it doesn’t work, but when I try charging my phone from the USB...

This has been going on for a couple months at least, but not much longer than that....

SOLVED...

I manage several computers, and every time I set up a new one I go through the same motions. Install w10, disable a bunch of shit, add the same list of programs, delete the same default apps, setup Firefox how I want it, run through Oosu, disable several services, and add some registry keys....

A family member of mine in Germany is looking for a laptop in the 100-200€ price range. It would be okay to buy used and it shouldn’t be one of those modern Celeron laptops. It should still have a fairly slim design and a processor at least good enough to run Minecraft at low settings with ~30fps on Linux. Is this even a...

My question is as follows: When I click a link on the main page, instead of opening a new tab in Firefox, it always takes me to the linked page in the same tab. I’ve tried changing settings in about:config, tried two different Firefox extensions to modify link behavior, but that resulted in a few unwanted events. I know I can...

But below that, there’s an option to view “Overview”, “Posts”, “Comments” and “Saved”. “Overview” shows two of my posts and one comment. “Posts” shows...
