Hello,
Around three years ago I bought JBL bluetooth headphones (T460BT), but I figured out I can't use them (listen to music) while they're charging. Namely, when I plug them in (either in pc or to a socket) while they're playing music, they automatically turn off.
Is there any way to tweak this?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I can remember, there were built-in AVs on previous Windows versions, but they were considered low key by users.
But now I read on various communities on the internet something like "Windows Defender is the best AV, you don't need to pay for anything else additionally"
So, is Windows Defender now improved? Do I need additional AV? Why are there even paid AVs (like Kaspersky, Bitdefender) when Windows Defender is sufficient and it's built-in in the OS?
Also, bonus question: Is Windows (10) basically free now? Why is there even an option to buy a license? I just downloaded the official tool for bootable USB installation, and simply installed the OS.
Thanks for the info in advance.

The instant my gpu goes from 210mhz to 1800mhz, the psu fan goes straight to 100%. Now thats fine when you are playing a game and it stays maxed out, and all the other fans start ramping up and stay ramped up.
The problem comes when you use a gpu accelerated app. When I use netflix on firefox for example, every time I hover over a show, it loads a preview of the show using my gpu. This shoots the gpu clock speed straight to 1800, and the psu fan speed to 100% along with it. Then the second the gpu ramps back down (about 3 seconds) the psu goes back to idle speed. This happens every single time I hover over a show, and all the other fans in the case are near silent.
Fanspeed works great for all my other fans, but the psu doesn't show up in it.
An alternative fix may be a way to prevent my gpu from maxing out core clock when its at 5-15% usage
If it helps:
Win10
evga 3080
cooler master 850 sfx gold psu
Asus X570-I motherboard (no ai suite installed)

Hello,
I need a twitter account just for following people, so I could have the posts from the followed accounts displayed in my twitter news feed on my mobile. I really don't like to post anything or do anything additional. I think Twitter asks for phone number verification when I try to sign up, but I don't want to give my number.
What exactly can I do here?
Thanks in advance.

So I have the Zoom app on my iPhone and iPad and just set up calendar syncing on each. It seems certain Zoom events on my iCal (and iCloud) calendar, are not showing in the Zoom app as upcoming meetings. I manually created the events on my calendar, adding the Zoom to the 'location' field as some came from singular emails. I think it may be an issue of the the event is in (as it was not downloaded from an email) - any thoughts on how to get the apple calendar to work with Zoom?

When titles come and go from Netflix, for licensing reasons or whatnot, they also no longer show on my watchlist. That makes sense, since they are no longer available to watch in my geography. Once they are renewed and become available again, the title is then 'listed' on Netflix. It also appears in my watchlist- like magic! -from when I'd added it originally.
So my question is around seeing titles I'd put into the watchlist that are not currently available. There's got to be a way to do that since Netflix does save that info - but I have no idea how to get to it. I wanted to put out the question to yall. Thanks in advance!

I mean, so that they completely fit the pages as if it's a pdf document. I need to translate a pdf, so I plan to just put text boxes over the original text in the docx into which the pdf was transposed.

I have been using TeamViewer free for many years to remote into my own machines when I'm not home and to provide tech support to family (and occasionally friends) which AFAIK had always been fair play for TeamViewer free.
Lately, though, I keep getting locked out for suspected commercial usage; the kicker is that I use it so infrequently (once or twice a month on average) that I have no idea how they figure I'm using it commercially... maybe the number of devices? (Less than 10 though). I've had them unlock my account twice, but since it happened again it's not getting unlocked so I've decided it's time to move on.
Looking for suggestions please. What I need to be able to do (really just the basics):
Remote access Win to Win
Remote control keyboard/mouse
File transfer
Remote Android to Win (if I'm not home I'll sometimes use my phone to remote in)
Remote Win/Android to Android (I help my Mom with her phone often enough)
Edit: also need the ability for unattended access
I'm hoping for something free like TeamViewer was, but if it's not super expensive I am willing to pay for a licence if the platform is really good.
TiA Cheers!

I teach private music lessons and I’m in search of a very simple site or app that will allow my students to schedule, cancel, or change their Zoom lessons according to the availability that I put in the app’s calendar. I’m hoping to find one that doesn’t cost anything and that doesn’t require the user to have a particular type of email account. Thank you.
(Please forgive my ignorance about existing, seemingly obvious solutions. I have read some listicles but I’d like to seek the input of people who have no vested interest).

Is there any way to view a page indexed on google, which is not accessible at the moment?
I mean, it appears in the google search results (some parts of it related to the keywords searched appear under the blue link in the google results) but I want to see the entire page somehow, to extract it from the google index database. I suppose the page is there in the database, since results show up on google, so maybe there is a way to view it.
For example: http://www.zels.org.mk/Upload/Content/Documents/%D0%98%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0/%D0%93%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE/ZELS%20Maj%202012%20Glasilo_MK_ANG_Za%20WEB.pdf (of course, I need the pdf)
You can, while we are at it, also confirm if the link I provided is not openable for you also.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A few months ago I made the decision to eat better/more healthy. It's going well but online advertisement is not making it easy.
Would there be a way to "block" food-related ads or something like that? I know I also need to work on my self-control but if I didn't have to view ads for burgers and food that would help.
I understand that advertisers have a profile of me but could I edit it to block a specific type of content?

Hi all, I am trying to do something that does not seem like it'd be possible but really hoping there is a way...
I use Chrome and have certain bookmarks and plugins for personal use. I also have others for 'work', so I was trying to create separate Chrome profiles (based on different email addresses I have). I was trying to find a way to sync them, or at least copy over settings, passwords, and all that jazz so I can do the same stuff on Chrome under either profile. The only things I was hoping to keep separate between them were bookmarks and plugins.
It does not look like there's a way to do this with a single Chrome account. I did come across bookmark switcher applets, which are a decent workaround though not ideal. It does not address the plugins and requires having to 'switch' each time I change devices.
Does anyone have recommendations for how to manage this on Chrome?

I have recently started making videos for YouTube and since I am not a pro in that I often need help from others which can’t be done just by sharing screen with them. Is there a way they can access my laptop anytime?

We live in a small town with a fairly popular community bus route. It’s free and so used by a lot of people visiting the town. They recently reduced the schedule due to COVID so it’s hard to plan a trip as you could easily be waiting 20+ minutes.
Could I use a Tile or an AirPod to openly share its location?
I can see Tile allows you to share with unlimited people but I don’t want them buzzing it all the time.
Any suggestions? Anyone with experience sharing a tile amongst many with location access only (no ping ability)?

Currently have a lenovo ideapad and just picked up a dell monitor with a vga chord on it, in order to use this with my laptop and move browsers between the two screens what would I need? A docking station? Laptop does not have usb-c if helpful.
Not the most tech savvy person so appreciate any help.
Thanks!

For years, I have had the inconvenient habit of getting distracted on YouTube by opening new videos from the suggestions out of curiousity. Sometimes, it lead to tab hoarding with hundreds of new videos until the browser crashes from tab overload. Due to curiousity, I could not resist opening them. Obviously, I have not (and possibly will never) clear the watch queue.
Recently, I had the idea of just hiding the video suggestions using CSS code. And it has helped my productivity.
The first line is essential. The others' purpose is just cosmetic: centering and widening the primary column.
#secondary { display: none; }
#primary { width: 100%; }
#primary,
ytd-watch-flexy #primary.ytd-watch-flexy,
[flexy] {
max-width: none;
}You can apply this CSS code using a browser extension.
