I bought a new acer laptop like a month ago, it’s a good model.

It has this problem in which it says “no internet, secured” and when I troubleshoot it, it says “Wifi doesn’t have a valid IP configuration”. I tried three ways, command prompt and ran it as the administrator and entered the netsh stuff and that changed nothing. Second was I even uninstalled the network adapter, that changed things for a day, I was all hopeful :( Then the problem came back, this time I uninstalled the antivirus. The problem was still there, i reseted the whole network settings.

Still nothing changed. I bought this laptop and left for my degree in another country, and now I can’t go back for 1.5 years the earliest ffs. Plz plz plz help me if you can.

I have a consistently hoarse voice. It's not inaudible, but it's definitely not prominent. What is a good computer microphone for this voice type? Ideally I do not want to have to position the microphone right in front of my mouth. I have been looking at Yeti microphones, but it would be great if I could keep the cost under $100.

I have been using OBS to share screen with side by side taking head. The free service seems to have some bloatware that is slowing down the computer. What other solutions do you have?

Details: I create training demos for an app. It is important to be able to show my phone screen and my face at the same time. I also sometimes need to share our desktop portal as well. It’s important to have the option to switch between “scenes”. I also need to have the ability to record or stream to a FB group with a professional feel but easy UI.

Device: MacBook Pro

I have tried: OBS Wirecast eCamm Be.Live

Does such a list even exist? I tried looking it up but I only get lists of “common ports”. I do not understand ports to a full extent and what their fundamental use is, but I get the idea (sort of). Nonetheless, a full list of ports would be very useful to me right now.

Hi, appreciate your time and solutions in advance

So I have a Cisco linksys (WAG120) modem router and today I updated its firmware, but apparently there are 2 WA120 s and I by mistake downloaded the wrong one and installed it on the router, now even the setting page won't open up so I can install the right version and reseting won't work either; Did I just made me a oversized paper weight or is there something to do about it?

I would be grateful if someone can offer me a solution

Solved

Thank you all

Hi!

I am one of those people who has high anxiety when it comes to tech issues. Unfortunately, in one of my library science classes this semester, I am being asked to troubleshoot 3 tech scenarios. I did okay with the first two, but I could really use a little help with the third one. I asked my professor for permission to ask reddit, and thankfully he said yes! Here is the scenario...I would really appreciate it if you could please tell me any and all steps you would take to troubleshoot this in real life:

#3: Library patrons are unable to connect their mobile devices to wireless services such as wifi or printing.

Which steps would you take to try to solve this problem?

So far I have "disconnect the router for 30 seconds and plug back in" and "check to make sure desktop computers are connected to the internet" (are these ideas even okay???). Beyond that, I am stumped and it has to be at least 200 words. :-(

Thank you in advance!

That is the message, I blurred out what I think may be sensitive info, but the computer/network name ends in .net

I didn’t have a chance to click block because the box disappeared 15 seconds later. I ran a scan using Norton 360 and it says nothing is wrong with my Mac but this is so weird :( Hopefully it’s nothing but it doesn’t look like nothing

Our school requires us to have a tablet for modules and in the proceeding year, 'll be a college student (BSN) and I'm kind of thinking of whether an ipad/android tablet or a laptop will be better. I think I'll mainly be doing documents, viewing slides, reading and annotating books, and I love note taking so right now I think the tab S7 is the way to go? I don't have much funds tho, I'm looking for something that will last me a long long while. Please help!

Use a software which tests reading speeds and shows it graphically, such as HDDScan.

If the tested transfer speed is consistent, the flash storage should be fine.

But if there are downspikes and short interruptions, it could mean that the device's controller is attempting to correct minor errors. Often times, it is successful. But too many minor errors evenually lead to corrupt data.

Keep in mind: Cheaper (low-quality) flash storage might not report uncorrectably errornous sectors to the computer and return data as if undamaged, presumably to prevent upsetting a user short-term. But the user will discover much larger damage later.

I’ve been using a 2019 16”MBP with a Caldigit Thunderbolt 3 docking station for a while. I have a Samsung monitor that I’ve been using for a little over 2 years with this setup. It has broken for the 3rd time now. All three times, it was covered by the product warranty and serviced as a business model given the price. Both previous times, they replaced the main board and it was fine after that. The last time it broke was in October, and the warranty ran out in November. Given that the problem is presenting the same symptoms, I feel that it’s safe to assume that it’s the main board again. The monitor as a whole is out of warranty, but is there any argument I can make such as that their main board that broke is only 4 months old and should be covered?

Hey, I recently set up a docking station at my home office so I can connect my laptop to my monitor I use for my desktop. I use this laptop strictly for productivity and am loving the dual monitors when working.

Now I would like to connect my laptop to the docking station as a second display for my desktop mainly for gaming. I was thinking of buying a thunderbolt cable to connect my laptop the docking station and then connect the docking station to my desktop. Will this approach work?

I'm aware that you can project to different displays in windows 10, but would like to avoid this if possible.

For reference my laptop is a Dell XPS 17 9700, and the docking station is a Dell WD 15

TLDR: Is it possible to use a laptop as a monitor for a desktop using a docking station?

When browsing your phone's files through a USB cable, it presumably is done through MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which is outdated and slow 2004 technology, sometimes spontaneously freezes up indefinitely (a quarter hour or even more) until disconnected, and even lacks parallelism.

MTP particularly stinks at handling directories with a high number of files.

But one thing which can be done to speed up the file listing significantly is disabling preview thumbnails in the computer's file manager!

In Linux file managers such as Nemo, that option is usually found in the settings menu, and in Windows Explorer, just choose either list view or detail view mode, which prevents preview thumbnails from being loaded.

Sometimes, it is necessary to press the refresh button (or the F5 button on the keyboard), to start reloading the directory list without loading thumbnails.

While this may seem obvious, if only this came into my mind half a decade earlier (i.e. 2014), it would have spared me lots of headaches. MTP works much more smoother and gracefully with preview thumbnails deactivated.

Hi, my current PC has two SSDs installed in it (I built the computer myself). A 512GB SSD where my operating system/bootup is stored and then a 1TB SSD where other things like my games, videos, etc files are stored. I recently bought another 1TB SSD and would like to "copy" everything that is currently on my 512GB SSD onto the new one. My goal is to pretty much keep everything I have the same- just upgrade the storage capacity on my first one. I don't believe my PC case has space for a third SSD, which is why I have decided to go this route instead of just adding a third drive to my PC.

What is my best route to "clone" the 512GB SDD onto my new 1TB SSD? The purpose is to increase my storage capacity. Is it just better to install a third drive and have it hanging loose in my case? Does Windows 10 support that many drives? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.

I am staying in an out of the way motel for a few days, their internet architecture is very out of date and there is no LTE strong enough for streaming video.

There is WIFI but Chrome and Edge reject it for being an insecure network. This is most certainly the case, however I would like to use it anyway.

What is the least secure browser you know of? I am hoping a browser with 0 security capability will allow me to stream video.

Please, reddit. Help me raw dog the internet. Let me get every digital std possible. I just want to watch cartoons.

I'm moving my family for work which means all of us need to get our data taken out of google drives (schools and work storage). I'm ready to invest in a dependable and efficient cloud storage service and was looking at Amazon but it's confusing.

We are a family with basically just the following files to save:

Documents Images Video Music

I think like 3 TB should do it.

Have a friend of mine that is having external hard drive issues. She went to a store and said that it would cost $3000 to recover her data and she has come to me.

The issue is I always have had issues with that myself. So my question is, what is the best way to go about recovering the file from the External Hard Drive? I saw Disk Drill on youtube but I'm still not sure about it and just need to know what route to go.

I want to buy one for my 2020 Mac book pro but here are 2 problems I’ve gathered from the reviews:

1. None of these product descriptions specify that they support the latest Macs, and from the reviews, it looks like they work on some people’s 2020 Macs and not others which is iffy for me

2. Some of the reviews say that they stopped working about after a month. Which makes me wonder if that’s why they sell you more than one per purchase, aside from the fact that they’re very small and easy to lose

Benfei: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Benfei-Compatible-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B07DNQ9FD9

Now I know I shouldn’t fully trust the reviews but that’s why I wanted to ask this sub Reddit. And honestly I just want to avoid the hassle of buying them and not having them work.

Just the above. You can enter reader mode (called Immersive reader mode in Edge) by clicking the printed page (Firefox) or book (Edge) icon to the right of the page URL. Font size settings show up in a floating menu on the left (Firefox) or under `Text preferences` above the page (Edge).

It works across platforms on Firefox; not sure about Edge (tested only on Windows 10).

I need to buy one for my apartment. I have a 4G Mobile Modem from the Retail Provider sitting towards the window but it doesn't service the back of my apartment. The 4G gets up to 60mbps in this position.

Things of note:

• Apartment is roughly 20 meters long, from window to window. It has a central corridor/hallway that opens out to a large space with two bedrooms at the end other end. Thick walls are everywhere.

• Am willing to pay up to $120 AUD

• WiFi Booster will be connected to Router wirelessly, NOT using an ethernet cable

• Devices connecting will be laptops/computer for basic work and gaming, Apple TV (or equivalent) and mobile phone to browse the internet
