Does anyone have experience with Windows on an ARM device? I'm heavily considering getting such a tablet/convertible, specifically the Samsung Galaxy Book2. I'm a bit confused on a couple specific points. 1. Firefox came out with a version specifically for ARM, so that emulation is avoided...

I'm interested in a tablet primarily for watching TV/videos at home, with the capability to also use it for traveling, digital note taking, etc. if necessary. I really like watching TV while eating or even cooking, and for this I've been using the original Yoga Book...

Omg, power button + volume up worked!

I'm kind of freaking out... I was charging the phone. It got to 90%, and I picked it up, unplugging it. Checked something on it, pressed power button to turn off screen and set it down again. Came back to it a few minutes later, and... it's dead. Absolutely no response to anything I do. Plugging...

Nice. Thanks for the recommendations! I guess I should not have asked for the "best" card that can work with that PSU lol. Sounds like the 1060 will be more than I'm willing to spend now.

Well, based on what I'm seeing in the For Sale/Trade thread, <$100? There's a thread from nearly 2 months ago of someone selling a Radeon 470 4GB for $70. Is that normal? I don't even know what the fair price for anything is... But the bottom line is I'm trying to get by as cheaply as possible lol.

Oh wow, can't believe I neglected to Google "battlefield 1 on 2500k" before posting... 😆 Now I see that lots of people have explored this question. No, never bothered to even look into it haha. I have this slightly awkward arrangement of 24 GB. 8 GB x2 of PC3-10700 and 4 GB x2 of PC3-12800H...

Maybe a stupid question... Sorry if so, lol. I barely play any games, but recently my roommate and I were thinking we want to play Battlefield 1. So, I just wanted to double-check: is it really not possible to set the game to all the lowest settings and play it on my 2500K Sandy Bridge CPU? The...

A few months ago I got burned by Firefox where it crashed and then the session was wiped out. None of my windows and tabs were restored even though I have it set to restore session. I don't recall the precise circumstances but I think it also updated itself, and that had something to do with it...

What the heck even is the "home folder"? Lol

I was watching this video, which is about how to (supposedly) recover unsaved WordPad files: If you go to approximately 1:57, it tells you to search for .tmp files on your PC. It says to simply type .tmp into the Start Menu and search for those files. Uhhhhh this is impossible. Below is what...

What needle is this? Where did you find it? Is it a regular needle used for sewing?

Guys, I've found the solution. At least for my phone, the solution is to buy Sony-branded USB-C cables, which can be found on Ebay. Like you, I've tried a few 3rd party cables from Amazon, including from Anker--which is supposedly a more well-known (and better quality?) brand--and they are all...

Hey guys, I found this thread because I searched the forum for something related to USB-C port problems. I've never owned a Google phone, but since it looks like a few people are asking this question about other phones, I'll chime in. I have a Sony XZ1 Compact, and I've had it for like 2 years...

I really don't know. It was like 4 years ago probably, and I don't remember such a detail at all. It's definitely the Education edition. Which I would only be able to get if I somehow used the software I got from my university. *** I would absolutely love to just leave Laptop 1 as it is...

Background: I had a desktop PC and a laptop--call it Laptop 1--that both had Win 7 on it. (However, a Win 8.1 disc was included with Laptop 1 because Win 8 had been released already but Dell offered the option of having 7 preinstalled.) Several years ago, I bought a Win 10 Edu license from my...

Can't you just contact those software vendors to verify for sure if you can transfer the software to Win 10? If you cannot, why not use dual boot? Leave win 7 for only those times when you have to use the software that can't be transferred, and boot into Win 10 for all other use cases.

Ah, I totally forgot about this! Thanks for the suggestion. Googling "wifi power settings" yields this page, which suggests that the power settings may make a noticeable difference with WiFi performance. Although I do not have a Killer wireless adapter, the page is helpful as a general guide. I...

If it was disconnected WiFi wouldn't work at all.

Background: I'm temporarily living in a dorm in Germany because I'm on a fellowship. The internet situation here is atrocious; they don't provide WiFi in the dorms for some reason. I found a neighbor who lives on the floor below me who bought service from an ISP, and was willing to share her...

Oh, I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me, too! I randomly stumbled on the site when they first came back up (pure coincidence because I haven't been doing any torrenting in a long time), and registration was open. I signed up with a username and p/w, and even recorded it among my saved...

Yes and no. Yes because there's a web page called Demonoid with the exact same look--colors, logo, everything--as before. No because all their old data has been lost. So all the previous accounts are gone, and so are all the torrents, if I understood correctly. They're starting again from...

I don't know if the respawned Demonoid is any good, but that used to be basically my only source of torrents, years ago. I'd like to have an account again since all the old data was lost.

I just discovered that I cannot paste account info when trying to add a bank account for my Discover credit card account. I tried it with both Firefox and Pale Moon (a fork of FF). In FF I have the "Don't Fuck With Paste" extension. I added a rule to the extension so that it becomes active on...

I'm looking at getting a device for cleaning keyboards--either laptop or desktop. There's a bunch of junky-looking little USB vacuums out there, and most of them don't look convincing. Especially if it's USB powered, doesn't seem like that would generate enough power to accomplish much. Does...

Follow up question. If uninstall all the items and then turn it off in the BIOS, at which point should I turn it back on again? My objective is to do a "fresh" install of everything related to Bluetooth.

Oh. No I did not, I didn't know about this. Thanks for that info. What about peripheral BT devices? Like, for example, my old phone is on the list but I don't use it anymore. That also reappears in the list after I uninstalled it.... Why?

I'm having incredibly annoying Bluetooth problems with my Yoga Book--which by the way, is a piece of trash of a computer: highly not recommended, mostly because of (as far as I can tell) Lenovo's utter lack of providing driver and other support for this model. Anyway, I tried updating the...

Woooo! Great news!

I'm looking for a Dexpot alternative because Dexpot is a dead project. It still works okay but somewhat buggy. The problem with googling this is that, for some reason, a lot of people (and reviewers) think that "virtual desktop" is the same thing as the feature that Win 10 has natively -- which...

Seems to be working fine, as far as I can see. Completed two sales here within the past two weeks or so, and I left and received feedback for each transaction -- I didn't experience any problems with the process. I also sent them a donation of $3 and got an email from them a couple days later...

Lols. Okay so I sold my two keys through the WTS/B thread here at [H], thankfully. But for future reference, I had the same idea as this: I was likewise thinking I could just print the code on paper and ship it, and refuse to send it digitally. Can anyone confirm if this is safe? Or is it...

Wait. So when this happened to you, were you not able to take the case to PayPal and/or ebay and have them refund you?

Hm but then PayPal would still take their side, wouldn't they? If they said the code is not working. Most likely I'll end up sticking to that haha. But it seems like no one on [H] wants to play Fortnite... whereas people were bidding pretty high for it on ebay -- I saw like $100 bids! I wonder...

Oh it was just 1 key, and it sold, sorry about that.

Bumpin

Hm, could I just print the code on a piece of paper and then sell it that way? And say in my ad that I will not send the code via message, only via mail (with tracking)? If there's a record of a physical good being received by the buyer, can I be safe that way? Or will I still get screwed if...

Sorry that this isn't actually a FS ebay post (yet), but it seemed like the appropriate place to ask... I remember when I used to play EverQuest back in the day, and people bought and sold PP outside the game for $, a common scam was for a buyer of PP to send you the money and then simply...

Bump

Ho ho ho, bump!
