I've got a question so stupid that idk which board to ask in other than /r/ which is only filled with porn. I searched for the answer in most major forums but couldn't find one guy having the answer (there was a guy who said he does but way too fucking sketchy even for me). I wanna know how do you remove Google map reviews.
>turn computer on>get online via firefox>only google and youtube sites load>everything else won't load>phone works fine, it's clearly my desktop>clear cache etc>nothing>unplug wired internet and connect to wireless>everything works>replug wired internet back in>everything worksI'm glad I fixed it but I don't understand why it fixed it.
i want to be able to take 2 usb c to a cables and cut them in half and splice the c ends together to make a c to c cable. i needed to today and couldnt. it ONLY needs power, not even data. what wires do i need? ground and power but maybe.... uhh others..... idk................and if theres a tool for cutting the extremely thin colored tube without cutting the wire strands inside that would be cool too

I have my Documents and related folders set to another drive via the Location tab. I've noticed that sometimes a shortcut to those other locations appears in my user folder, but other times not. Usually it's only when I enter the path of my user folder and hit Enter, but not, say, when going to the folder manually or clicking the button on the start menu. What's up with that?
>>108578372"locations" are just special folders with shortcuts wired up in explorer in certain places (the navigation pane and the home view). the shortcuts are just in certain parts of explorer, they don't actually exist anywhere in your filesystem.

What's the best way to stream from my PC in one room to my tv in the loungeroom? I want to do high res 4k, and the Google streamer just can't keep up
>>108578666Plex
>>108578829to what device?
>>108578856Whatever you have, itll run on a 10 dollar stick from walmart
>>108578909nta but a10 dollar stick probably can't handle 4k decoding on the fly if his google device can't
>>108578909I'm talking about 70gb Blu ray rips. the Google streamer can't keep up even with a wired connection
>>108578984Why?
>>108578984It gets funky when its that high. You might be better off finding a cheap xbox or ps4 and getting 4k discs. >>108578976I havent had any issue with compressed 4k video and 4k stick. Havent tried raw bluray like anon is here.
>>108578909a stick of what
>>108579010because I have a 4k OLED tv and it looks amazing>>108579037hmm, at that point I might as well just get a mini pc. or a 15 meter HDMI cable could work for movie nights
why does edge need to send my text back to microsoft's servers to do spell check? my offline text editor in 1995 could do spell check locally?
>>108576417System Informer or Process Explorer?
>>108579343You know why.
>>108578416That doesn't explain why the "shortcuts" are only visible in the user folder some of the time
>>108579343>somewhere in an azure database there's a counter of every time I've said the word nigger
>>108578666>best deviceOutright the has stated the same for nearly 7 years now, The nvidia shieldIt can only be beat by a MiniPC build or niche Chinese Snapdragon powered devicesEvery other US retailer distributed streaming device including the Apple TV has less codec support
>>108579533any niche Chinese device recommendations?
Where is coomer st alternative, that is actually synced?
>>108579343Selecting "Basic" spell check keeps it on device. The "?" dialog you posted only applies to the "Microsoft Editor" as evidenced by the reference to grammar.

Is there any reason why piezoelectric dehumidifiers only exist for small models? buying two or three would solve my issue but a big one would also be a better solution
>>108579485because the user folder is an actual folder on your disk and doesn't contain those shortcuts. if you see them, it's just explorer adding them to the view.

How to fix PDFs not showing in the preview pane in W11?
Woke up this morning and my monitor had this spot in it. Is there any fix for this or should I just toss it out?
Who the fuck is this Ichika that appears in my YouTube recommendations and streams coding some fucking React+TypeScript bullshit. I've never watched it, so why does it keep appearing
>>108582791use the overflow menu on the tile to hide it, then under "tell us why" select "i don't like this video." youtube has a tendency to do this shit for weeks if you don't explicitly tell it you're not interested.
vultr broshow do i request a different ip for my vps without re-creating it?
First time router buyer. What I'm looking for is>no app/ai bullshit>no external antennas>can handle 1 gbps>minimal/no discolight vomitIdeally something I can plug in and then forget exists the next 5-10 years. Some manner of wifi would be neat too, but I don't care if it's wifi5, 6 or 7 (besides futureproofing) since it'll only be used every once in a blue moon at most. I live in a 1 room shitbox, so don't need high coverage either. Any recommendations/noobtraps to avoid, besides tp-link?Bonuspoint if said recommendation is actually obtainable in scandinavia.pic unrelated
This is a Windows question, but a potentially stupid one: my pc has been in storage since last October, it's still on the now dead Windows 10, and I wanted to switch to LTSC now that it's out and plugged in again, at least until I potentially figure out Linux. Can I just switch versions, or would I have to do a full OS reinstall?
>>108583814if you're changing to ltsc 2021 and you're on 22h2, it would need to be a reinstall unless you're willing to use ltsc 2024 which is windows 11. otherwise, disconnect internet, pause updates, and i think then you can use mas to edition change. don't quote me on that.
>>108577816might wanna ask the electronics gen on /diy/>>108579760There isn't one? It's crowd sourced from people's subscriptions
Should I be worried if my charger connects to my laptop flexibly? I switched computers but they're a similar model so the same charger still works. The old one didn't move as much once it was plugged in.I'm just worried there's some part somewhere that's going to get fatigued and break. It's a refurbished laptop.

why does kurobaex consume so much battery
>>108583814You can buy yourself a few years with ESU via MAS and swap to Pro for easier update management as >>108583856 says. But you can still lock yourself to Win10 with the registry.
>>108584241some phones use vulkan instead of opengl for web apps. this gives better performance but the result is worse battery.
>>108584785wtf its just text and images its not one of those stupid container apps
>>108584845it uses webview which embeds a web browser within a app. the webview is device specific like how different devices have different webkit and chrome versions. newer samsung phones will load this webview in vulkan while older ones will use opengl.
>>108584845those text and images have to render to your screen which is usually through a graphics api.
>>108584973other apps have text and images too including the home screen and menus
>>108585020the home menu is rendered through a graphics api as well.you can check which apps are using which api.https://github.com/DebrajAdhikary5/VulkanEnabler

>>108576417Where do I go to ask about drawing tablets or am I on the wrong board?
>>108585913yes, it's still the first tool i pull out if i'm working with an infected system. good for on-demand scanning if you know something's up.
>>108586525you can ask here and someone might answer your question. i'd just start with that and give it a few hours to a day and see if anyone responds. i don't know jack shit about tablets so i can't help.chinkshit general might have some useful info if you're just looking to buy something cheap>>>/g//csg/some of the resources in /spg/ might also be applicable for tablets, although it's more of a smartphone resource>>>/g//spg/
>>108585163I have the straight version of this and it's good. ugreen is a well trusted brand, slightly cheaper but always quality
>>108586525I think /ic/ sometimes has threads. I'm pretty knowledgeable on drawing tablets though so what's your question?my advice will probably be if you can afford it gets an iPad pro or a tab + or ultra
>>108576417what's a good RSS /g/ related news source that doesn't flood me with 20< feeds per day?
What happened to the /AAD/ threads? I can’t find any from last month or last week? I can’t find it in the archives either.
I just got a 2nd monitor, and for some reason whenever they go to sleep or the screen turns off; the wallpaper for my secondary monitor overwrites all the others, and then every tab gets minimized and assigned to the main monitor. For clarification the main monitor is no.2 (landscape) and is marked as the main monitor is the settings.No idea how to fix it, ive tried cleaning and reinstalling the graphics drivers, updating the drivers, different DP cables, switching sleep/screen modes, checking for any power saver options on the monitor, etc. Am i missing something obvious? is the PC not recognizing them at the same time on wakeup or something like that? They're both the same monitor (MSI 275QF) connected by DP.
Is there any reason I couldn't use my thinkpad to try install windows on a new M.2 drive if I got a USB enclosure to connect it to the laptop?It's not been working and failed every troubleshooting method out there except using a different machine to do it
>>108583164Kind of a non answer here but posting anyway.Can't really recommend anything as you didn't specify which technology you are using for your internets. Cable? DSL? Ethernet?>no app/ai bullshitWhat are these even?Every consumer router out there has dogshit firmware.>no external antennasWhat do you mean? You want the Wi-Fi antennas as internal? Or no Wi-Fi at all?>Some manner of wifi would be neat tooSo it's a no, yes?>I live in a 1 room shitbox, so don't need high coverage eitherMoney doesn't buy coverage if that's what you are implying, they are all weak by law.>>108580113No, the 5% or whatever is some stupid default setting.>>108577311Wild guess but could be the IPv4 connectivity, Google is famous for their IPv6 support. Check your IP settings.
>>108587887Ethernet. Should be fairly obvious when I later imply that wifi isn't mandatory but would be neat to have. Friend occasionally brings a laptop and wifi would be easier than digging out a cable.>app/aiI don't want something that requires a phone app to use. A salespitch that emphasizes buzzwords like "ai powered router" means it'll either be unsupported 2 years down the line or it wants to steal my data for training purposes.>antennasWhat it says on the tin. I want a box, not something that looks like an upsidedown spider. The antennas always look like they'll break if you look at them too hard. It's a point of failure I don't need.>wifiSee above. I know there are wifi capable routers with internal antennas. I just don't know which ones are worth getting because I haven't kept up on that stuff (or wireless technology in general) since 56k modems were considered fast.>coverageAs in, I don't need something with a wireless network that can cover a huge area like a mesh router.
>>108588167>Ethernet>no Wi-Fi>hates "software"Consider building one yourself. I'm routing with picrel, 1Gbit integrated Ethernet towards the internets and 2x2.5Gbit Ethernets and an USB-Wi-Fi-dongle for the local bridged net.(you don't even have to bridge, you can make all of those interfaces separate subnets (consoomer routers don't have that option for some reason))
>>108583164Any old MediaTek shitbox you can lay hands on. Just flash it with OpenWRT, check the 'enable hardware acceleration' box, and you're good to go for 20 years.>>108587887gl-inet stock firmware is quite nice, but all their stuff has antennae
>>108588352>first time buyer that hasn't kept up since modems were the norm>surely he would know how to build oneI just want some consumer grade shit that werks and doesn't come with bloat, malware or planned obsolence ;_;>>108588471I actually have a sagem router like pic related lying around, and it would suit my needs perfectly fine if it wasn't ISP locked. Model name isn't in the openwrt list and I'm too much of a hackerlet to be confident that I could figure out how to flash it without leaving gaping security holes.
Nobody knows what happened to the AAD thread?
>>108588620 herehttps://fritz.com/en/products/fritz-box-5690-pro-20003043This one actually looks like it does everything I want, but I have never heard of that brand before. Any glaring noobtraps I'm about to walk into?I know reviews are good, but lolno if internet reviews can be trusted.
