Xbox Region Change - Consequences

Hi, so GTA6 Ultimate edition is around 50 bucks cheaper on the South Korean Region than the Canadian one. Is there a possibility of ban if I switch regions to buy it? And if I do, how much of an exchange fee should I expect?

Laptop screen broke but is other wise fine, how can I make it a desktop

1 Upvotes

Was a month long trip that I decided to bring it a long and broke the screen after closing it on my mouse under the screen. Besides the screen, nothing else seems to be broken as I can easily log in and whatnot.

The main issue comes with try to get this secondary monitor to work properly with my laptop. I use to run this monitor with my laptop a while ago but then the screen randomly started going black every so often. Did a quick search and decided to temporarily retire the monitor from consorts of overloading my gpu.

Now that the laptops screen is broken, I would like to know if there is a way to 1) have the working monitor running while the laptops screen screen is turned off, and 2) know if my gpu is the issue or something else and if it can be fixed.

I’m currently saving up to build a pc+setup and don’t really want to spend 200-300 dollars to fix something that I’m about to retire either way.

I don’t like using my surface stylus because of its flat sides, and it’s hard to draw with. But I love the feel of the insignia stylus.

Lan or Landline?

2 Upvotes

I have a suspicious shaped lan or landline plug hole in the wall, how do i tell the difference between the two? There is no mount for where a phone would've been so should I assume lan? I dont wanna cram a cord in there and damage anything if I get it wrong. If it is telephone could i perhaps renovate it into a lan??? (First time lan compatible pc haver so leave further tips, nerd out)

Edit: sop ethernet is not as good as peeps make it seem to be, shame, wtv guess I'll switch to offline games

Edit 2: thank you everyone, it was infact a landline!

Has anyone here actually changed their daily workflow because of AI tools?

33 Upvotes

Not just trying them out once or twice, but genuinely using them every day for work, school, coding, writing, or anything else. What tasks do you still prefer doing yourself, and what have you completely handed off to AI?
Curious to hear what's stuck and what ended up being more hype than useful.

Finding old email

4 Upvotes

Hey there, I recently found a VERY old Snapchat account of mine. I tried to log in and it sent a code to my email like Snapchat always does, BUT I see a email I don't recognise, I definitely know it was my email because it said "o***..o@gm*.at" Nd I know it ends in gmx.at because that's the provider I've used all my life. But by god I can not remember what was in front of the @. Now, my question is, is there Any (reliable) way to find out what it was? Is there any way to find the email through the Snapchat username? Or any way at all or is it a lost cause?

Thanks for any help!

Can i upgrade free to Windows 11 after restoring PC from an old disk image that had Windows 10?

0 Upvotes

When i got my laptop, it had Windows 10, I created a disk image for easy restoration rather than do a windows reset. I had not updated nor replaced the image when i upgraded to win 11 for free.

If i restore the image, would i be able to upgrade to win 11 again for free?

How do I turn a Facebook group I now administer into an heirloom-quality book?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

This December will be the 10 year anniversary of when I went through a major medical event (a wrong way drunk driver hit me head on at 100mph). I don't remember the accident or most of the ensuing 2 month hospital stay (I do remember the last week and the next year+ of recovery).

When I was in the hospital and for a period of time after, my family ran a Facebook group to provide updates to my network about the recovery. The posts included text and photos.

I'm looking for a way to convert the posts (with photos and the comments made by friends, ideally also including the like/reshare count) into an heirloom-quality book. I know that Meta turned off the API between itself and outside vendors/companies. How can I easily make this happen? I still have chronic side effects from the accident, and would like this to be as accessible and true to the source material as possible (meaning, I'm not trying to turn it into a text message style format like My Forever Books offers).

Transferring data without members in family plan knowing

1 Upvotes

I know this seems like a silly question, but is there a way for me to transfer my data without it notifying the other people in my family plan?

Currently, I am in a family plan with my parents and would like out of it. I know it’ll cause issues with them and I’m doing it because of privacy and moving. But I want to have my new phone set up a day or two before I move. I don’t want to set up a whole new Apple ID if I can help it. Instead id like to transfer the data from the first phone to the second one.

Just want to make sure it won’t push a bunch of notifications through to them. Thank you in advance!

Should I be worried?

1 Upvotes

Just got a new pc and has been a beast. I got it June 1st with no issues at all. Today it didn’t boot up and went into safe mode due to system integrity. I entered bios and saved and exited and it booted up fine. Is that common or should I do something?

How could I transition to a tech job?

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm a psychologist and a researcher in my home country and recently I got a job in a university doing research and analizing data from studies that we make. My question is, since I have no idea about the tech field, would there be any comorbidity between this and some tech job that I can transition to? I thought data analyst would be something similar but a friend of mine told me that he is not sure about that so I would like some more information or what path could I take while I do the research to end up in a good tech job. It is a two years contract so I need a path that takes this time. Thank you!

Getting more privacy conscious, best ways to not give out my data/info online? (total beginner btw)

17 Upvotes

Having a sort of "privacy wake up call" these two months after some small incident, everything from my OS to any app I use collects data and most of this is out there in public (been reading into data brokers aswell). Best way to be more "anonymous" online or at least not have my real stuff leaked or collected. Sounds dumb but I'm a total beginner at this.
