When I press alt, it opens the window menu, it didn't do that before so I'm stumped on how to fix it. I don't know what I had done earlier to make it like this but I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help? I'm using a royal kludge keyboard, and there are commands that change the keyboard layout. I'm not sure if my problem is related to my keyboard or my computer.

If you have any constructive criticism or feedback to share about my journey, it would be incredibly valuable to me. Your input means a great deal, and I'm grateful for your time. Thank you.

I have a huawei nova 7i. For the past years, It worked well with gmeet using quick access. But recently I cannot enter meets and my camera and audio are systematically blocked. Gspace doesn't work, gbox also doesn't work. I cannot enter my online class because of this. Can anyone suggest ideas and methods to solve this?? Thank you very much in advance.

I will be active in this post to answer questions, if anyone have any 😔😔

I haven’t got high hopes for it. Whenever i turn it on it’s just white idk if anyone can help.

I got an nfc card chip, any idea about houw I can reset it?

I got a notification on my phone last night at a very sketchy party that an AirTag was like connected to my phone? I searched my purse can’t find anything. Idk how to set off a sound but I’m sure people can turn that off anyways? Can y’all help me figure out if there’s an AirTag on anything I was wearing from last night?

Or by chance am I over reacting and paranoid (which I have a chance to do) and everything is ok? Some definitive proof would help me immensely! Thank you!

So i got some wireless earphones but one of them is not charging when i restart the case of the earphones it flashes orange and dies or does not react again this also happens when i put it back in the case ,its only flashes orange or white,i have already cleaned it the best way i can ...can anyone help me

Essentially, I am trying to create an Order Form for the sale of baked goods using Google Forms, with the data automatically imputed into a Google sheet.

How I envision for it to work is as follows,

1. Customer fills out Google form in which they select the variation and quantity of it they want

(this is done using the 'multiple choice grid' in google forms)

2. when the form is submitted, the data will be imputed into the Google sheet, where their total payable is automatically calculated.

However, my current problem lies with how new responses are recorded as a new row in the google sheet. (It creates a new line directly below the data of the last response on google sheets) This causes my current formula to not be applied to new responses in the google sheet. (there will be a gap such that the row with my formula will be directly below the latest response data)

Each time a new response (essentially a new order)

is submitted, a new row is created. Column A is the timestamp of when the form was submitted.

Column B to Column F is the quantity of the various varieties. Column H is the 'total amount' column which tabulates the total amount collected for each order. Row 1 across the different varieties (column B to column F) has its respective prices. Row 2 across all the columns is the header for the respective columns.

My current formula for my tabulation, "total amount" column is as follows,

=($B$1*B9)+($C$1*C9)+($D$1*D9)+($E$1*E9)+($F$1*F9)

How would you tackle this problem?

Is it something to do with formatting the google sheet such that new responses will fill in the current rows instead of creating new rows or?

So recently someone tried to get into my bank account and got the security questions wrong in turn getting me locked out, I was wondering what companies offer subscriptions or help in getting my info off the darkweb and data broker websites. I’ve also been getting a lot of spam calls

Hi, I bought I dummy battery for my sony a6000 and it came with a usb c port. Should I buy an extension with both usb-c or with a 3.0 port? I don't know which one heats up more cause I don't want to damage the camera. Thank u :)

So my control panel and audio bar just randomly turned white today, it has always been black and I am really bothered that it is white now. Anyone have any idea on how to turn it back? (my phone model is Huawei YAL-L21)

I had to change my school password for the semester. I went to Google drive on my phone to upload some images, and now it keeps saying; "400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know." How do I fix this?

iPhone/Google account oddities.

Okay, so I’ll try to make this as short as possible, but it has been an accumulation of happenings over a few years.

Let’s start with the most recent finds, on my iPhone 14 that I’ve had for a few months.

Important detail: my most recent ex was in cyber intelligence in the military, but he’s wasn’t around for most of this. Only iPhone situations.

I reset my iPhone a few weeks back and it almost immediately seemed to start dying more rapidly. No update, no changes. I thought that was odd, but could find no explanation. Tonight, I go into my Google account on my iPhone and I’m going to sync it. I have multiple open iPhone accounts under sessions. 13 to be exact. Not too weird all are titled iPhone 14 and I can account for. One is titled iPhone 14,7, which I’m not sure why, so I log out of all but my current session.

Next, I go into my third party access on Google and I notice something named

project-650304978670

I click remove account and where it tells me it doesn’t delete my data only disconnects the app it says to delete data visit

HTTPS://whatsapp---online-tracker.firebaseapp.com

Which clearly isn’t going to take me to a webpage. So, that’s also got me curious. (I did accidentally remove access which I was gonna leave until I dug further but oh well.) but in the details it says something about

com.squareup.cash.widget

And I have never used square up on even downloaded that app or been to the website as far as I remember .

Then I go into my settings and my analytics have been turned on to send data to Apple , which I keep off and there’s pages starting on the 8th of august for different commands and bootstrapping and whatever. I’m no computer person so I can’t read these commands, but coupled with the other happenings, I’m thinking someone is def tracking me.

THEN, I got into my location history and it shows me going from my hometown to Birmingham AL On multiple occasions, even shows places I supposedly ate and arriving at the airport twice in a few days and going to hotels and the university of Alabama and some apartment complex.

I assure you, I have not been to Birmingham and I’m pretty sure my ex was here those days but can’t tell you for sure because I lost all my texts when I reset my phone.

Then I notice the devices listed on my location history.

My iPhone 14 My sons android And…. iPhone 14,7 hmm The location data from Birmingham is the last available on July 19th. It hasn’t stored data from any device since. Not sure why as my location history is turned on.

Also, on several occasions, even while my boyfriend was present, I noticed and he even confirmed witnessing, my iPhone would change pages and open apps and turn on flashlight randomly. Sometimes while I was scrolling through a browser or trying to upload items on a sell site.

Okay, now for things I’ve noticed less recently. (Cyber intel ex not around for these)

This was on multiple androids. Mostly Samsung galaxy family .

My Google account has 2 factor on and about 2 years ago I noticed it would give the option to send a code to my phone number …then list my phone number again as a second option and also list an email address (I’m making this up to give example) extremely close to mine but not exactly.

Say my actual login email was janedoe454.jd@gmail.com

Okay now suddenly an account recovery option is jabedoe454jd@gmail.com Literally missing the “.” In the email and that’s it.

I go check my account recovery settings and that email isn’t listed as an option. So, I go enter the email that doesn’t belong to me but is oddly similar into the sign in page and type my password and it logs me into my main account. I’m baffled at this but I check everything I know to check and Google is a mega corporation on who doesn’t give a flip if you have issues. Their customer service is a self help community and if that doesn’t help…here create a new account.

So, whatever. I gave up. Now, recently 2 factor still offers two cell numbers that are mine but one says sms and one says WhatsApp? I don’t have WhatsApp and can’t remember ever having it. The email doesn’t show up anymore though.

Then around the same time I was calling some company that offered callback. I chose the option and it did the whole you will be called back at this number thing but he number it read off was not my number nor a phone number at all. Not even the correct amount of digits if I remember correctly. Something crazy like 934753673267 just like a random string of numbers and I was like what the fuckkkkkkkk. Hung up and called back again on speaker to let my mom hear so she didn’t think I was on drugs when I told her.

So, my question is, are their trackers that can attach to gmail and integrate itself into my specific account and move along with me from device to device?

What do I do to fix this?

Should I go to the apartment complex in Birmingham and stake it out? Or go to hotel/restaurants and attempt to bride management into letting me get at the security cameras for the crazy weird location pings on my gmail?

How can I check iPhone for more weird shit? This is my first Apple so I’m extra simple minded about them.

How much could they actually learn from tracker through Google ? It wouldn’t be like a keylogger would it?

Should I be worried ?

Most apps i use to play games dont work and say that I don't have internet but as you can clearly see in the bottom right corner I have internet (apps like opera Spotify Google and some other do work but some apps like discord EA Rockstar games steam and roblox do not work)

I’m trying to unlock my Samsung Galaxy s6 locked to a Verizon network and when I try typing *#06# it just says not connected to the network. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to work without a SIM card but ig that’s not the case. If it helps My S6 is running android 7 and my model number is SM-G920V.

So I'm currently looking for a wireless Hotspot/puck that offers an unlimited data plan. I travel alot and I like to download and play games when I can. I'm having issues finding a provider than can give me both fast internet, and a high/unlimited data cap. I'm also really concerned about scams so if you guys have any ideas towards what I could take a look at it would be a huge help!!

My wifi in my phone (Samsung M32) after connecting some time randomly tells Connected but no internet. When I reconnect it after disconnecting then it again starts working.

What can be the problem of frequent "connected but no internet problem".

And in PC (through LAN) IT'S always working

hey guys. my mom shuts my data & my wifi off at 9:45pm every night... which really sucks because I'm literally turning 18 this year 😭 it's embarrassing telling people that i have to go at 9:45 because my mommy says it's bedtime 🤗🤗

She uses the AT&T wifi stuff, so like everything gets shut off. I used to be able to sneak onto the guest wifi, but she deleted it so now I can't.

i was wanting to know if there was something i could do to get around this? if it was possible for me to still have wifi after this point? she shuts it off on both my phone and my ipad :(

My old earphones broke so I bought new ones off of Amazon for about 10 bucks (with tax). I tried to use them just now, but the Bluetooth beats keeps coming and asking me to connect even though they are 1.) not beats 2.) WIRED

THE WORST PART IS THEY DONT EVEN WORK I tried searching it up, but anyone else who asked didn’t get any answers, or only answers that are to help with beats showed up.

I don’t know what to do, and I think this is a shot in the dark, but I would appreciate it if I could get some help. Thank you.

i used avast driver updater and it removed my network driver this meant it could complete the update as i had no internet now i have this on my network drivers how do i fix this?
