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

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...

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.

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 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’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...

I recorded some voice clips for my presentation with Microsoft’s Voice Recorder app, but when i tried to insert the audio files into my presentation, PowerPoint claims it only supports WAV format, (despite Microsoft’s own website claiming it also supports m4a)....

I need to add Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity to my PC which is built on an ASROCK Phantom Gaming D5 mobo. Before buying I checked on this resource from ASROCK website and the adapter is meant to be fully compatible and a specification of a 2T2R antenna is matching it (which I until now assumed would be an internal feature....

My laptop keyboard died a few days ago, which was fine I guess, it has been a while, but for some reason my membrane USB keyboard is also broken. I don’t know why but Ctrl, Alt, Windows, f5, and f10 don’t work, with Alt and f10 now binded to left click. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find: uninstall keyboard drivers,...
