I'm currently visiting relatives with no internet connection, so I'm using my tablet over USB tethering, but when I do this the tablet's power slowly drains (it even warns me its "slow charging" despite this being a USB3 root port) anyone have any idea how I can keep it from dying just from...

Thanks, got everything I wanted off it and onto my PC :)

Going through drawers I found my (late) mother's old iphone6, and (knowing little to nothing about the software/interface since I've almost always used android) just wanted to see if there was a free/cheap program to just let me dump all the contents onto my PC in a clean, easy-to-view/search...

Not to disparage our members here, but [H] is more a general tech forum, you'd probably have better luck over on XDA with this issue (don't remember if we're allowed to link other sites or not, but google should find the site from just the name)

Highly recommend Astro, been using it for years, and integrates with both google and OD as well as Dropbox, Box, Yamtex(?), SMB servers, and FTP servers, all in one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&hl=en_US&gl=US

I am sporadically needing to tether my laptop for internet - not daily, not weekly, not even monthly; I only need it for a few (completely random...) days per year; this makes most tethering plans a HUGE waste of money for me since they tend to be stupidly expensive with a set amount per month...

Yeah, its odd that skimming the other replies most ppl are only getting ~$400 for their phones... might be because I've been with the same carrier for over a decade (?) or I just got lucky with a limited-time promotion... very happy with the Galaxy Watch, works well and is the only watch I've...

After upgrading my phone, my current car charger only makes the battery last longer - over time the charge still goes down, just ~half as fast as without it... Can anyone recommend a good wireless car charger (windshield mount)? If there's no real option for charging a phone like the S22U...

Wow seems I'm in the minority... I actually got my S22U before it was released! XD (No joke, upgraded through my carrier and received the handset like 10 days before it was officially released) That being said... did I *WANT* to upgrade to the S22U... _no_. Pissed that they removed the...

I recently purchased a Ring Mailbox sensor (https://ring.com/products/ring-mailbox-sensor/) and mounted it to my mailbox... however, due to the mailbox being on the opposite (far) side of the road as my house (there's a massive drainage ditch on the edge of the property so it cant be put on the...

Seems a little over-complicated, but a good option! I was unaware there was dedicated windows software for Alexa (and if that's the case, my desktop is in the same room and running 24/7 so I could just add a good, sensitive, mic to it!) I will have to look into this, thanks for the info!

Also, as a personal note (dont know if this matters to the OP) Samsung's DEX is a godsend for manipulating data on the phone (and just general useability if you have a keyboard and monitor handy) and if the Pixel has a similar feature, I'm unaware of it

Amazingly, turning off hardware acceleration solved it! (I guess the 660 really was the bottleneck... or bulldozer proved once again why its a joke of a CPU) Thank you so much for all your help!!! It was probably around 2-4 years ago... (didnt realize it was that long, but thinking about life...

This. So much this. I still use my Note 4 as a mini-tablet on my bedside, outside of the mic dieing hard (did a full replacement of the mic board and it still didnt work) and it being a little slow just due to its old specs, its still chugging along! LikeDivialitil I have a oled (note 4) with...

Interesting... mine doesn't show it like that, instead, it says "play original quality" or "Play as X" (though it looks like your using the iOS/apple version while I'm using windows/android so there are bound to be some minor differences) I've tried forcing a transcode in the past (from 1080p...

No SSD, but I'll have to double-check to be sure if the speed of the boot drive matches the media drive... now that I think about it, it's still running its original 1tb boot drive because for some reason when I cloned it to a 12tb drive, it refused to boot... Not sure if clients are set to...

My wifi reception is... I'll be generous and call it unreliable... (working on that, harder to fix than it sounds with the BS modem that the ISP provides) and I have most of my house lights wired for use with Alexa (as well as Amazon Music Unlimited) but thanks to the wifi issues, my Alexas are...

Having an issue with my media server where it'll play a few videos fine, then suddenly start buffering every few seconds (even on lower resolutions)... I'll have a tv series I ripped from BD on the server and when I sit down to watch it, everything works fine for about two hours, then, the next...

I am at a loss for words... a convertible that is not only powerful but almost tear-inspiringly beautiful. It's even better than I was expecting! Thank you so very much for linking this! ❤️❤️❤️

My current desktop is rocking a triple-monitor display, which I sorely miss on my laptop when traveling and recently I've been seeing more videos and reviews of some nice looking portable monitors for laptops, but most of them seem to have a flaw of some kind in their construction that makes...

My old dualcore laptop is starting to show its age, so I'm looking to upgrade... but I want something that will last several years AND is in a convertible form factor... What I'd like to see is: -Convertible laptop/tablet form-factor. -Core i9 CPU -64gb RAM (32 is acceptable, 16 is...

I have an old PC (23-inch monitor) in my garage for looking up/following instructions/tutorials/manuals/etc when working on my car/motorcycle and was wondering if this gadget worked well enough to replace a mouse for quick actions (like scrolling, "pinch to zoom", tapping "play/pause" on videos...

Dont get me wrong, that X3 looks cool, but... I'm looking at hooking up to an "android" projector (its running android but it has a launcher that doesn't give me direct access to the system and I'm too lazy to try and hack it when I can just plug in my phone to HDMI and run DEX with a handheld...

Yes and no, some are generic some are not. The main sound card is OEM's drivers, and for lulz I tried it on my graphics card's drivers (sound over HDMI) which still didn't work, though strangely, it showed up in 1 place (see below) Will take a look at them, thanks! Given all the other...

...I just checked this and I don't have an "enhancements" tab... have the other 4 but no "enhancements"... is there a place it has to be enabled first?

I've tried some of the "real surround sound" headphones in stores (and read reviews) and have been very... unimpressed... likewise I've seen wacky "gimmick" products like the Sennheiser Surrounder that seem to work well (though with rather glaring caveats) Has anyone found a portable...

Perhaps I've just been using the wrong terms but for years I've been looking for a non-OEM (driverless) version of the old Creative Labs "Crystalizer" software. It came with the Audigy (and presumably later cards) and, like many volume controls it would automatically decrease the volume when it...

Yeah, thinking about it seriously, I mostly only use it on my phone for headphones/headset (and smartwatch) and to connect mouse/keyboard/gamepad because usually, that's easier on the go than trying to use normal USB peripherals... and on rare occasion, I use it on my laptop to connect my...

Psychonic: I'll take a look at it, thanks IdiotInCharge: I was going to say "but generic Bluetooth can be used for so many other things!" but then I started actually thinking about it... Bluetooth tethering is slower than my internet and shorter than WiFi, Bluetooth file transfer is slower than...

I know I'm late to the game, but I'm just now starting to get into the voice-chat thing... and my headset's cable is only like 3-feet long, so if I need to so much as turn on/off the lights I need to take it off. However, I have some nice Bluetooth headphones (with mic) that work well... but my...

For media, nothing beats Plex (though if your on mac, there used to a very nice app called AirVideo) http://plex.tv If your also looking for remote-access, I suggest RealVNC (basic account is free and upto 5PCs iirc) plus DropBox for copying files (faster and easier than emailing them to...

My desktop died on me, but I noticed that the RAM from it matched the specs for my server (ASUS M5A97 w AMD FX8320) but when I installed them it just started beeping continually and would not post. A quick google search revealed that there was supposed to be a bios update to support 4x16gb RAM...

UPDATE: After several days of playing with the router, I finally found the answer! Thought I'd share in case others run into a similar problem... When I first was setting up the 5ghz band, I chose "no security" since I didn't know if it would work ( and because typing in a 15-digit password on...

I had no idea what model the modem was (the actual box has no identifying info on it except the ISP's sticker, not even a serial number) but after a lot of digging apparently its a Calix 844g-1 (though my model does not have an RF connector like the manual shows). I suspect it's a bug because...

Just tried this, didn't work. (tried it on both PCs just to be sure) Will look into the google drive option, but if I'm dropping it back to 100mbps speed of my internet connection, I'm better off going back to the 2.4ghz network and using native, arent I? (iirc 802.11n has ~400mbps transfer)...

Easius The PCs, in particular, are both running windows 10 with all current updates and windows firewall on default settings for external connections, exceptions for all internal connections. (if it matters, the whole network consists of 7 PCs, 3 iPhones, 1 SGN9 phone, a chromecast and an Xbox...

This is something I've been fighting ever since I got my first 802.11b router back in the late 90s... I have a desktop. Its plugged into the wired ethernet. I have a laptop. It's connected to Wifi. the skies will rain fire before these two pcs will share files with each other... Years ago I...

upon revisiting the site, it looks like its just a hook back into my PC, the exact wording is "Setup Windows Hello on this device" --- I don't see anything that seems to be actually related to the server-side of the account... I did finally figure out how to turn off the 'set up a pin now!'...

Microsoft account. I use it across all 3 PCs I use and my XBL account. I did look through the website and found a pin area setting on the MS account website but it also gave me an error... but the wierd thing is on one of my Desktops the pin function is working fine, it's only on my laptop...

I'm not sure what happened, but I can't seem to find a solution... I have a laptop (Lenovo yogapad 900) that I used to have a sign-in pin setup on... after a while though (starting around a month or so ago), its suddenly prompting me every time I sign in (boot up, inactivity, closing the lid...
