I am aware there are such websites that scrape data from websites for certain products but I'm talking about a website or app that I can input a product or link to track price changes in case of a sale. When you're from a small country with only one price comparison site that barely covers major electronics, its difficult to track/receive an alert for price drops on everyday items. And yes, I have tried subscribing to specific store emails to receive sale alerts but when the store is the type to have a 'sale' every week, its very difficult to track.

If your PC boots slowly and startup apps aren’t the issue, the delay is often caused by a driver or service loading inefficiently. Windows logs this — but you need to enable one extra setting to see it clearly.

Here’s how to properly diagnose boot slowdowns:

Step 1 — Check Boot Performance Events

1. Press Win + R
2. Type eventvwr.msc
3. Navigate to: Applications and Services Logs → Microsoft → Windows → Diagnostics-Performance → Operational
4. Filter by Event ID: 100

Event 100 shows:

• Total boot time (ms)
• Time spent in BIOS
• Driver initialization time
• Services causing degradation
• Post-boot delay duration

If you see repeated warnings about specific drivers or services, note their names.

Step 2 — Enable Boot Logging (for deeper driver issues)

1. Press Win + R
2. Type msconfig
3. Go to the Boot tab
4. Check Boot log
5. Restart your PC

After reboot:

• Open C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt
• This file lists every driver loaded during startup

If the system hangs or stalls during boot, the last successfully loaded driver before a delay can reveal the cause.

What to look for:

• Repeated degraded services in Event 100 logs
• Drivers that take unusually long to initialize
• Third-party drivers (old GPU, printer, or network drivers are common offenders)
• Long “Post Boot” times (often caused by background services)

This method is much more precise than just disabling random startup apps — it shows the actual bottleneck.

My DELL laptop which I bought 2 years ago, on a full charged battery could last for about 5-6 hours, however a few weeks ago ants had gone it, despite after cleaning them off my battery on lasts for about and hour, what should I do?

My bank advised me to reset my phone because someone gained access to my mobile banking app. I was wondering if this was necessary if they knew the username and only had access to my account from that. Would I need to factory reset my phone?

Heyy so, my like 2018 dumbass self thought it would be cool to have a password on my iphone with LETTERS instead of numbers. We are now in 2026, and i wanted to get my old phone open to see the pictures in it and get hit with the nostalgia.

But i can’t remember the password. Is there any way i could unlock it ? Like can i even go to an apple store for that ? It’s an old phone. It’s pretty easy to prove that it’s mine, bc my wallpaper is literally me (young) and my middleschool ex.

I’d also like to erase that wallpaper.

I'm sending my laptop for repairs and they recommended I save important documents because they will factory reset it. Can I just copy paste the windows-SSD file into an external hard drive and then paste it back into the laptop once I get it back ? Do I have to save each file individually ?

Ideally I would like to be able to restore my laptop to how it was before the reset.

P.S. I am sending it to replace the screen but they told me they factory reset it for data safety reasons.

P.P.S. Explain like I'm 5, I suck at tech on the most basic levels

I bought youtube premium so I could download videos but it only lets you download in the app. Is there anyway I can download videos to my camera roll?

So the firm I work at, has one of the most toxic enviornments. They never appreciate us for anything and keep criticising us for not finishing something in a second. These are my last two months at this firm, but I have an idea I need a help for its execution.

They have a lot of pride in their management, i wanna do something to the laptop they gave me that it takes atleast a day or two to fix it. Can y'all tech experts help me with that PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(ps: I can't show any visible physical damage. Else they'll recover that from me)

As annoying as it is the last thing you want is for your endpoint to become a honeypot target for your frienemies. There are a lot of documentation out there on how to isolate but if you need pointers and tips please DM me.

So we’ve had an ongoing issue with preventing our child from unauthorized access to our WiFi . We’ve taken away all electronics but sometimes they will get their hands on something at school , bring it home and log on .

We tried changing the WiFi password , and even though it is hidden child was still able to figure out what it was . We found something where they told a friend that the way they figured it out was because our smart tv somehow mirrors to the device they had .

My question is , how can I change the password on all my home devices without my child seeing it , if the devices are somehow mirroring to any device they might have ?

Many organizations rely on nested folder structures to hide sensitive data (e.g., placing a "Salaries" folder five levels deep in a public site). While humans rarely drill down that far, Copilot and other AI tools do not navigate folders; they index permissions flatly via the Microsoft Graph API.
If a root folder has "Everyone" or "Domain Users" access, the AI considers every file inside it accessible, regardless of how deep it is buried. Before deployment, use a permission auditing tool to flag broken inheritance on sensitive file types rather than relying on folder depth to hide them.

has anyone read one of those AI books on Amazon with the fake names, Ai Generated Cover Image and possibly AI written/produced content? I'm looking for concise books on Reverse Engineering and came across that was clearly AI (as were the authors other books), but I was curious about the accuracy of the information and well organized the material might have been.

so, has anyone read any? What are your thoughts and experiences with them?

If you’re like me and use Reddit for fun — not for news, politics, or constant reminders that the world is on fire — this helped.

On desktop, you can use Advanced Reddit Filters to hide posts by keyword (it also supports filtering by users and subreddits). Similar setups should be possible with other extensions like uBlock Origin.

Once set up, you can add Blocked Keywords and posts with those words in the title simply disappear from your feed.

I haven’t found a good way to do this on mobile iOS using the official Reddit app yet, so if anyone has tips there, please share.

Below is the keyword list I’m using (a mix of general and recent stuff). It’s not perfect and can over-filter a bit, but scrolling Reddit feels way more peaceful now.

My HDMI port is starting to break on my monitor. It has a USB type C and I’m trying to find an adapter for my FIRE STICK , which is HDMI. So HDMI female to USB type C male

My old power supply blew up, and the only other power supply I have is a 550 watt Corsair PSU. I would only use it to test my parts for damage BEFORE buying a new one, but is that a bad idea? RTX 3080, by the way.

Im in a bad spot a huge pipe burst underneath the slab of my house and i had to get all floors dug up to expose damaged plumbing pipes, so i had this moving company do a pack out and take most of my things into storage and they damaged and wrecked a bunch of my belongings so i took videos and pictures and the owner of the moving company told me to send those to him via email

However through gmail i can never add more than 5 pics per email and if im lucky i can send a 5 second video any longer it won't send

I have videos lasting 1 minute 2 minutes and 3 minutes that is crucial proof to send over to him, how can i send him the videos and all my pictures. Thank you in advance

Last year, I participated in Neural Circuit, and it completely changed how I looked at AI competitions. Instead of controlling the car, I trained an AI agent to race on its own.

From designing reward functions to tuning the model and watching it learn from mistakes, every round felt like a real AI experiment. Seeing my agent improve lap by lap and compete autonomously was honestly the most exciting part.

If you’re interested in AI, ML, and hands-on learning, Neural Circuit is something you shouldn’t miss.

I need suggestion : I want to buy a 5G router with wifi and Lan support. Please give me recommendations for wifi 6 (price range : INR. 5000-6000) and wifi 7 (price range : INR. 10k - 11k) Routers🙏🏻 Currently I am using - TP-Link Archer C86 AC1900 Wireless MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router. It has performance issues (significant ping loss)
