Laptop just changed font one day

I have an 8th gen LG Gram from 2018. I’ve been running Windows 10 since I got the laptop and been doing fine. This week though, without downloading anything suspect, my font changed. The only way I can describe the change is it looks like an improperly setup Linux distro, text being thinner and blocky from aliasing. There is...

Was my hard drive case enough to protect my external hard drive?

First post on these alternative sites so forgive any mistakes. My external hard drive (a small travel one) was enclosed in a padded hard-shell case like this one but I’m still worried.

Which part of my PC is failing?

Lately my PC has been freezing sporadically. Not freezing completely, as I can still move my mouse, videos or music continue playing and window animations still function, but whenever I try to open a new page or folder it doesn’t do anything.

Is it a good idea to get a high wattage phone charging brick and standard USB C cord to use for a laptop charger?

My laptop charges with USB C, so when the standard charger broke, I just used the USB out port from an EcoFlow battery. The display on the battery said the laptop pulled 25-30 watts while charging. So, why can’t I use just any USB brick that can output more than 30 watts?...

Recent strange android headphone problems - Tentatively Fixed

I use wired earbuds. Last week, I started noticing issues with my current pair on my android phone. The first issue was that the audio would disconnect if the headphones cord going into the jack was slightly moved. The issue seemed to progress, whereby audio disconnects happened more commonly. Eventually, the headphone issue...

Creating a home cloud storage network?

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...

Is there some way to make bluetooth only auto connect if it isn't paired yet; but then stop so it doesn't just randomly switch devices?

I have my phone set to remember my car, my wife’s car, and a pair of bluetooth headphones. When it’s within range of one of them, it connects and all is well… until it detects another one, then it changes to that....
