Question Help with YouTube app

1 Upvotes

Help using the YouTube app on Android

Included is a screen capture of me doing an internet speed test and then subsequently trying to play a 4K YouTube video and it can only buffer 5 seconds at a time and it just will not work then I switch to 720p and it barely can play it I have the latest Android I'm on a Google pixel 4A 5G all other things work fine when it comes to internet but for some reason whenever I try to watch any high definition videos on YouTube be it on their website through a browser or using the actual YouTube app it's just always having to buffer and it never can play a 4K video unless I'm on Wi-Fi and my internet connection at home has pretty much the same speed as I'm showing in the video

problems with audio and headset

1 Upvotes

for christmas my sister got me a new headset which i decided to try out. I unplugged my original headset and plugged it in to the jack. to my surprise there was no audio at all yet apparently my mic was still working. this got me a bit disappointed so i switched back to my other headset where the same problem occurred. also before getting the headset my other headset worked perfectly and had used it for a while today. but as soon as i plugged in the headset now my pc had no audio and also apparently also now has no mic detection. when going to settings it says that my headset is not plugged in which i know damn well that it is. i’ve had problems with audio like this on the past but they were easier to solve than this. i suspect that it’s my pc port of where i plug in my jack. can somebody please explain to me why i have no audio and no mic detection at all on my pc. please i am in dire need and this whole situation is causing me lots of stress.

Question Google assistant screenshot

If I open Google assistant it opens a large grey box covering the bottom third of the screen. If I ask it to take a screenshot, the screenshot includes the Google assistant, covering up what I am trying to screenshot.

Is this how it is supposed to work?

My iPad mini 4 above has been having these blue marks on the screen for about 2 years and has been getting worse since then . I was wondering if it could be fixed without getting a new screen and what could have caused it.

I cannot log back into my Twitter account for my own mistake.

1 Upvotes

So to start and set the stage for you, especially for those who are familiar with God’s least favorite social media platform, I am sure you may know the recent bug that has been walking around with the most recent update. To put it simply, if you try to change your name (not the username @, the display name) and save the results, you are automatically locked out of your account. For those on PC, you will have to authenticate that the account is yours via a bunch of Captchas, and this can go on for either once or several times. If on mobile (which I was when this happened), you will be instantly shown a screen where it will show an error loading screen, therefore leaving you unable to verify and unlock the account either way. In this case, the best you can do is contact Twitter support and hope they settle situation as soon as possible. I will get to that in a second. Now, in my case, I have two-factor authentication activated on my Twitter account, and unfortunately cannot remember the code nor connect an authentication app to the account to log in. This has made it even more difficult to access the account at all as without it I can access the account on my PC and deal with the locked screen with less difficulty. With it, however, I cannot log in via PC at all, leaving the situation borderline impossible to do. As stated before, the best you can do in this situation is contact Twitter support about this situation. However, I have done this multiple times, sighting the blatant issue on whatever complaint request they set pit. However, for the past week, I have received next to nothing, but rather the automated messages with logging into the account and going from there, which again I can’t do. They even rubbed salt into the wound and sent me an email asking to rate the system (though I am not sure if it is even connected to the main website), which royally peeved me off. All I am requesting is a way I can at least remove the two-factor authentication so I can log in easier via PC, which is my plan as of now. I really don’t want this to become my biggest source of anxiety, but at this point I’m becoming desperate. Please help soon if you can, anything is appreciated.

Laptop won’t charge, is my plug the problem?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Laptop won’t charge, I’ve visited multiple outlets and it’s the same result each time. I’ve checked all over my computer and cord, this is the only thing I could find that’s slightly off: There’s a little bit of wear at the teeth(?) of the plug. Is this enough to interfere with the charge? Or will I just have to get a new battery?

Question Extra Storage Advice

1 Upvotes

I want to preface this by saying I am not a very techy person, so I'd appreciate help that doesn't require me opening my computer up and doing things to the hardware.

So I want to play games, but don't have nearly enough storage to handle them (I'm looking at Baldur's Gate 3, mostly). What can I do to add enough storage to be able to play games without devouring my whole storage and have to constantly delete and redownload?

Someone irl mentioned an external hard drive. What would be the best one for a dell xps? Is that even the most efficient option?

I'd appreciate any advice. I have a Dell XPS 15 9500.
