what does the little light at the bottom of my kindle paperwhite mean? It was orange so I assumed that meant the battery was low and it became green when I charged it. Now the battery actually looks low and the light is still green

Though computer was freezing, turns out it has something to do with my devices and nothing about the disk was freezing itself.

I just went to Power Options in the advanced section and disabled "USB selective suspend setting," but I'm not sure if that's what it is since I just turned the computer back on and Googled what I could possibly do. Posting this before they probably shut off again.

update your drivers

Hello, my laptop (hp pavilion dv6) has several issues with it. Number one is the kepboard. I didnt spill anything on it but it doesnt work properly, only L types L and everything else is mapped to other keys or doesnt work. What could be the cause?

Additionally the Fan operates way too loudly. Its working like a piece of shit please help.

If I leave my X220 plugged in while it's powered off, would there be any risk of damage to the battery?

I have a few questions about wall chargers. I cant seem to figure out what is actually happening here.


I have a Nexus 5. It supports quick charging.
The OEM charger it came with was only 2amp, and never quick charged.
One day my friend accidentally took my Nexus USB cable with her, and nor mater what other cable I tried to replace it with, it would never charge as fast as before. It wouldn't say "Charging Slowly" but, it would charge at about 1% every 90 seconds when it normal did about 1% every 50ish seconds or so. At 86% it would say 10 minutes left. But then without the OEM cable it would say 30 minutes when its 80% charged.

I eventually replaced that charger with a nice Anker 24W 2.4amp charger, and an Anker kevlar braided USB cable. Now it actually quick charges my phone.

In my car I had a nice quality 2.0amp charger, and a coiled USB cable. It would charge about as fast as my normal Nexus charger did, 1% every 50 seconds. Recently it started to charger really slow. After some researched it seemed to point that a damaged, or a low quality USB cable would not allow a device to charge fast. Okay, made sense.

I then bought an Anker 24W 2.4amp car charger with a usb cable. While I have not had it go to quick charge mode in my car yet, last night I was driving had the GPS open, and Pandora streaming to my car's deck, and it said it was "Charging Slowly"
Now I thought that maybe the drain was too much, so at home I let my phone drain below 50%, turned on Pandora (although no BT streaming) and opened Google Maps and let it guide me somewhere inside the house. Plugged it into my Anker wall charger and of course, with all that running, and the screen on, it said Charging Quickly.

What gives? Why are two of the same brand, and same rating chargers using the same USB cable are giving me different charge times?

Can someone better explain these charging issues?

No, that's not what Quickcharge is.

Your car charger probably doesn't have the circuitry to convince the phone it should be charging at a higher rate. Car chargers tend to be ass compared to their AC counterparts

>>58945284
Just compare the specs of the cards you're looking at. Otherwise it's just a matter of the reduced cooling limiting your overclocking potential. But you'll definitely be better off than with a 770.

Been using a 2012 Dell XPS for years now. Things have started to go downhill massively since Windows 10 though. Started having screen issues when on battery, incredibly loud fan.

I went to ubuntu for a while and it worked well, still works well- but it started lagging horribly on this system.

I made a small partition for doing my homework and projects on an elementary os partition. (I decided on EOS as it has just about everything you need at a fresh install). It works well again but I'm really ready for an upgrade.

Yeah, that's unbreakable. There's nothing you can do about it, that's the point of encryption.

If you're going to be sloppy about passwords then don't encrypt your files, just make them hidden. If you lose the keys they're gone forever.

Then use John the Ripper / Cain and Abel to do a dictionary attack using the word you already know. This might do the trick if the password isn't too complicated.

If your password is some shit like

R    ab 4   n A D        a

you're on your own and you'll have to write a simple custom password cracker yourself in Python to crack it using the details you know about it.

Again, there's no software that lets you do something like: "Test this phrase, testing different capitalizations, and variable amount of spaces between each word. Oh, and it might be two Rs and not two Ds".

It's actually not a hard task to write that in Python (or whichever programming language you prefer), but you'll have to know Python beforehand, or be willing to learn it, or pay someone to do it for you. That's all you can do about it, no magical solutions, no magical software. Unless it means the world to you, drop it.

Do you need to run a chkdsk for your computer to find bad sectors? I was told running it was a bad idea.

I know to try and fixing it you need to run chkdsk but I just want to know if the numbers should go up without running it.
That 236 has been the same for 2 years already. I'm not sure if my computer doesn't get bad sectors anymore or I just have to run a scan to update the number.
That's CrystalDiskInfo btw.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my audio drivers to install.
Its just a fucking mess, after i installed the nvidia drivers and forgot to uncheck their hdmi audio thing, my onboard sound drivers were broken. I removed everything, all the nvidia drivers, any existing sound drivers, and reinstalled the nvidia drivers without the hdmi sound ones.

I went to go get the realtek drivers from HP. They dont work.
Tried like 4 different versions, none worked
Directly from Realtek, didnt work
Tried manually installing the drivers, none of the folders for the drivers from realtek have anything in them the windows install wizard can use

What the fuck
I just cant install a driver, nothing will get this onboard audio to work

what the hell do i do here, this is pissing me off, theres absolutely no reason the realtek audio driver installer .exe thing shouldnt be able to install the driver

It installs it somewhere, it shows up in the add/remove programs list, it doesnt fail to install, it just doesnt actually apply those drivers to the hardware

If you only want to print regular documents every now and then, I would:

Go to walmart, find the cheapest black ink cartridge, find the printer they sell that uses that one.

My printer is some cannon that I print stuff maybe once every 3 months. Works fine for what I need.

is it stupid to buy a mobo without usb 3.1 in 2017?

Laser printers are good. They tend to last at least a hundred thousand pages. Toner is as cheap as the paper and doesn't evaporate. Can clump though. And is suspected to be carcinogenic, so have adequate HEPA.

>>58950186
Nah, you can always buy an expansion card if you need it later on

can I just slap windows iso on a usb to install/boot or would I need to format the entire usb for the purpose?

>>58950213
you would at least need to format a partition of it.

I'm in need for a new gpu.
I want to go with amd, but havent decided yet if i want to go with the rx 480 4gb or 8gb.

I dont Plan on doing things with vr or 4k in the next 4 Years, just gaming like bf1 and such alike.
Do I need the 8gb?

Can someone make a new thread?

>>58950495
You're as capable of it as anyone else.

>>58950507
I don't want to though.

>>58950518
Why? It would have been just as easy to make a new thread as it was to ask someone to.

>>58950543
Ugh.

>>58950095

I just got these to listen to music with. did I goof?


Had them a day now and they sound great imo.

>>58950603
You could've made three new threads and instead you made three posts bitching about it

>>58950620
this. lazy faggots like him are the worst.

>>58950095
All of them.

All that matters is decent airflow, filters on intake, and balanced pressure.

Literally nothing else matters, not even cable management.

I'm having big issues w/ my wifi. Paying for 100, only getting 5-15 in my room, even with a range extender. Using ethernet plugged directly into the modem I get 100.

So, merely 30feet away I get a drop of 95mb. Should I buy a new modem and router? Or is something else the issue? Same floor, so its not like I'm upstairs or anything.

>>58950701
What you are paying for is a direct line to your modem.Not the wifi
It depends on how your room(s) are setup and what they are made of

Stay mad though.

your house is shaped weird

>>58950827
Its a condo on the beach in Florida, like one of those places people rent when on vacation. In flight school, so a lot of renters rent to military for cheap. Its an amazing view of the ocean for $530 w/ 2 other roommates.

But anyways, would the shape impact my signal that much? Should I move the range extender?

This might sound silly, but I don't know how virtual machine software works.

Is there any that lets you run an OS from an already made partition or hard drive? Like if I already have a Linux distro on a separate hard drive or partition is there a software that will me boot it up while I'm running Windows?

>>58950808
Jokes on you, someone else made a thread.

>>58950940
Well duh, it's not like we'd never have another sqt just because your lazy ass wouldn't make one.

>>58950861
cat5 is cheap, anon

I dont want a cable snaking through the hallway

>>58951117
p. sure you have some kind of space under your apartment
run it under there

>>58951135
I guess I described it incorrectly. Its like one of those hotel things that people rent for vacation, like 11 stories. So theres a unit underneath me.
