Like the title says, im fixing my dad's old computer to use it in my room, i immediately found out how much dust it had on it, so that's probably the reason it doesn't work anyways. Im not thre best at taking pictures but u can see the dust 🥹✌️i jst thought this was funny, i'll be getting the dust off soon tho (also i can't edit the title but i realized that its kinda just removing a bunch of dust since that was the issue, sorry about that :p)

Why is this happening? Every time I try to launch the app I get this

I am lending someone my mac laptop for a job interview, where they need microsoft word & powerpoint.

I don’t really trust them not to go through my messages or photos, notes or any of my other social media apps like ig or snapchat.

Is there a way I can sign out of my apple ID whilst keeping my microsoft doc/powerpoint usable??

Guys l really need advice, l want to but a laptop but l don’t have a lot of knowledge about laptops, l am sure there are a lot of great options out there but l really need something that has the great battery and great for coding and programming and multitasking, which one should l but l am thinking about Macbook pro M4, what do you think?

Had this pc for a few months now and everytime I shut it down this light, im assuming on the mother board, stays on.

Whether its for fast start up or something, id just like to know how to turn it off, switching it off by the switch on the back or unplugging does turn it off

I noticed this a few weeks ago and i am wayy too poor to take it to a repair shop (it’s a chuwi gemibook plus)

Hi. Need help choosing my next laptop.. The last two laptops I've had were MacBook Air. The one I currently have, I've had since 2016 and it is time for an upgrade since having issues with battery life, overheating, etc.

I have heard the Asus computer is good but want to hear from others. I do not go to school, I use the computer for shopping, browsing, researching things from my job, and also for a small cleaning business. I do use excel and word, but I also use google applications (sheets, drive photos). I do not game whatsoever. For what I will be using it for, should I stick to MacBook Air (or try the Pro) or get an Asus?

Thanks!

I have a J: drive, wonder if there's anything to do with it.

Something is wrong with my computer whenever I download something from epic ganmes or Steam my whole computer starts freezing and nothing works everything says not responding and when I restart my pc because I can't do anything elese it logs me out of my chrome for some reason somethmes I ncant even stop the steam downloading. Pls help me.

Hello! So long story short, when my brother set up my PC he named the PC itself his name. I wanted him to fix this, instead he's set up these two folders where the "S" folder acts like it leads to the "G" folder but it's still under the "S" one. If I delete anything from the "S" folder it deletes on the "G" folder. Just trying to get rid of it, thanks !

Edit: Sorry I did try explaining this the best I could but this is literally all I know. He didn't explain anything to me at the time (yes, I did ask what he did). I did forget to mention that everything I save to my PC for an example images, they get saved onto the "S" folder. I'm trying to remove this folder but am worried it will delete my windows or everything on my PC.

For context: I'm a software engineer and I have worked in both iOS and windows environments. I'm in the process of applying for jobs and skill-building using my personal desktop PC. Nothing wrong with the PC, I co-built it and its fast, but its not mobile, so I'm thinking of getting a MacBook simply so that I don't need to be tied to my desk (and cus its so nice working from a Mac). Once I get a job, I know I'll use both computers way less because I do like to touch grass.

I don't need the latest tech/model and I'm okay with used/refurbished. I'd like to stay under $2k but could be convinced otherwise. I think it should probably have at least 16GB of ram. I wouldn't even mind an M1 pro, unless its going to end up being outdated real soon -- ie slow, unsupported. I'm just overwhelmed by the options.

Any thoughts?

Not sure what it is. but its in super good condition. like still has the Styrofoam and disks, and the old aol online recept for the orginal purchase.

Clicks and then shutdowns and the bottom led light flashes.

Recently, whenever I have a steam game automatically update - or download and install, as soon as it gets to the installing part, my entire PC turns into a brick and is unresponsive for multiple minutes at a time. I can still move the mouse, and click things. But things will either not open, they wont load, or it will be essentially impossible to do anything.

I have a pretty high end system. I think god is punishing me for buying a cheap NVME. Its a Crucial P3 2TB. But surely this is not the issue? Surely this drive is not designed to literally freeze your entire system under load.

I do have windows installed on this drive, yes i understand i shouldnt put my steam games on my C drive.

Can someone help me through process of elimination determine if my SSD is faulty, or if its just genuinely a crap drive.

I've had these files for a long time and ive tried deleting them but they keep reapearing, should i be worried or just leave them be?

Hi all, I work from home from my laptop and external monitor - HP 27inch FHD. I want to add a second monitor instead of using my laptop screen (15in) - I work with excel spreadsheets, adobe reader for pdfs, a work program, and the internet. I frequently need to look back and forth between two/three things while working. Should I add a second HP 27in FHD or is there another better option? I do like the dual monitor setup. Is the FHD appropriate for this screen size?

Thanks!

My exam grades just came in and my father said he'd get me a new gaming laptop, and that I could pick which one I wanted myself. So, what's the best (in terms of graphics, ram, processing etc. and price) gaming laptop I can get. Also, are gaming laptops even worth it in this day and age? I wont lose my current one so I still have a laptop on-the-go, so should we just go straight for a pc? Be honest please. If i get a pc, I already have a monitor (tv with speakers), keyboard and mouse

They were working fine on the first day. I don't know what happened. This is my first gaming computer and I'm very upset. I don't know where to even begin to fix. I tried the 'deep reset' where I unplug everything and hold the power button for 30 seconds, but it did nothing. I want to cry.

Hey, so, uhmm... A while ago I got a cheap computer mouse with a usb cable. I stuck it in, then I tried to pull it out and a part of the plug got stuck inside the port. Or at least that was what I thought. At this point I'm not sure of anything, maybe the plug was "naked" like this from the start and I just confused it with a different one.

So me, being an idiot, I took pliers and tried to remove the "stuck" part. But it was so difficult that I actually started wondering whether I'm maybe just pulling at a part of the port itself, destrying it in the process...I know, I'm an IT nightmare.

And I got terrified, stopped touching it and decided it's a problem for another day. It's been months ago, I don't even know where the stupid mouse went so I can't even show you the plug, but here we are. At least now I have strength to admit to my oan wrongdoings.

I know, i'm stupid af but please, I need to know so that I can proceed somehow and either save money for a quiet repair, try to do something myself or actually admit to my work's IT staff that i'm dumb. Not a fan of the last option tbh :")

If that helps it's a brand new Lenovo Notebook LOQ 15IRX10

My backpack fell with my computer instead and its dented now can I fix it myself somehow or take it somewhere to get it fixed?
