    I connected my old Windows XP to the internet. Should I be concerned?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 05:18 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I finally got my old Windows XP laptop working again after years and I decided that for old times sake I should see if it was still able to connect to the Wi-Fi and sure enough it could. It ran a version of Bing but no websites at all would load up. I kept trying to open websites like Reddit, Google and YouTube but no luck. After 10 minutes I remembered that I just made a huge mistake because I was unaware of the fact Windows XP has been out of service for years now and I immediately took out the ethernet cable and closed the browser for I feared botnets or some other sort of virus I went straight to my Dad about the issue ( who has a degree in I.T security ) and he said that what I done was stupid ( I agree with him ) But I'm worrying that my router or wi-fi connection could be affected, I don't really care if my XP laptop is infected with anything, it has no personal or financial data on it and I never ever use it, but if there is a possibility of botnets or viruses having a presence in my wifi how can I detect it and get rid of it?

    Thanks.

    Cannot connect to EA login servers/Origin - Nothing has worked

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 11:33 PM PDT

    Hello. I am having a strange problem, spent a couple of hours on it, not having any luck.

    I, for some reason, cannot connect to the EA/Origin login servers. I was able to a few days ago, and haven't tried to play anything until earlier today.

    Two pictures, showing what it looks like.

    I've messed around in my firewall, looking for anything blocking the connection, I've reinstalled Origin multiple times (this is prior to realizing it was the EA servers themselves). I've disabled all firewalls, and put my PC into the DMZ on my router. Deleted registry files per a guide on EA's help site. Finally I decided that a wipe would guaranteed fix it. Wrong. Did a full wipe and reinstall of Windows. Nothing. Still can't get in.

    I am going insane. Please help.

    Specs (not sure if completely relevant):

    • Windows 10 - current update
    • i7-6700k
    • EVGA 980ti
    • Gigabyte Gaming G7 Z170 mobo
    • Asus AE68 USB Wireless Adapter

    I can answer any other questions you guys have! Thanks ahead of time. I hope one of your guys has a solution...

    Bug found on Dolby Atmos Samsung S10+

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 06:48 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I need some help. I recently upgraded from iPhone 6 to Samsung S10+ and I don't know how to report a bug.

    I activated Dolby Atmos only on 'Movies' because I enjoy to have surround sound when I'm watching movies only. However with this setting, Spotify seems to be affected by Dolby Atmos. Which means, Spotify is identified as 'Movie' rather than 'Music'. Please, I need some help..

    Outlook inbox is full, I can't receive e-mails anymore

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 02:29 AM PDT

    Hi so apparently my Outlook inbox is full and I am not able to get any e-mails, I googled a little bit and changed the time to when e-mails will be deleted from the server to 100 days ( that option was deactivated before). I already deleted a bunch of e-mails, yet I still can't send one.

    What else could I do?

    Thanks in advance.

    1050ti Underperforming

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 04:56 PM PDT

    Hi there I have a 1050ti 4gb and for some odd reason the card has been underperforming lately. I can barely run rainbow 6 in 60 FPS on low settings and some other games also seem to have this problem. I've tested a friends pc with the exact same graphics card and he's able to run games perfectly fine on very high. Hoping maybe someone has had the same or a similar problem and might know a solution? Thanks for any help I can get

    Having issues with new computer, EVGA RTX 2080. Do I need to RMA?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 11:37 PM PDT

    • Newly built machine, local shop built it, closed for a few days so I wonder if someone can help me here?

    • RTX2080

    • Ran fine for a few min, but then I heard a weird sound like, a grinding sound for a very brief second, and then graphical corruption spread across the monitor.

    • Restarted many times, looks like artifacts happen even on POST screen

    • Having artifacts like this screenshot I found on the web, except my lines are white/red instead of green: https://i.imgur.com/6XPc93O.jpg

    • Tried unplugging/plugging everything in (even inside case, though I know not how to really build a machine, I've plugged in video cards)

    • Tried installing/uninstalling/re-installing latest drivers from NVIDIA

    • Other info: Computer won't let me get at nvidia display settings, though it would show this for the first few minutes, when the computer was working correctly

    • Also won't let me change desktop resolution, the option is greyed out. Very strange.

    • Computer shows error 43 in device manager. If I uninstall/reinstall from device manager, that doesn't really change things either.

    PC turns on, but black screen on monitor.

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 07:49 PM PDT

    I recently ordered some new ram to upgrade my PC but when i put it in and plugged everything in i had a blackscreen but everything turned on. So i took it out and made sure it was clicked in properly. After trying again still black screen and this time my case lights didnt even turn on. But the pc still powered up. So i took the new RAM out and put the old one back in. And still nothing. Help?

    Update: I've gotten it booted up, but had a random shut down while everything was loading up on my desktop. Rebooting to see if it happens again.

    Google Playstore disappeared, I reinstalled it but it doesn't quite work.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 12:36 AM PDT

    I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A3, 2017. Android version 6.0.1

    • I kept getting these "com.vending.android has stopped working" (or something like that?) error messages randomly, didn't think anything of it and just OK'd them.

    • Later went and saw that Google Playstore was missing, so I searched in Applications and My Files for "vend", "play", "google", etc. Nothing there, which is fun.

    • I go and reinstall an APK file for it from the Internet. Cool, looks exactly as it did before. However, when you go to download an app or an update for an app, it goes to "Downloading..." and never does anything. It doesn't show up in the notification bar that it does either. Internet connection is fine, too.

    • Checked app permissions, it doesn't even ask for storage permissions so I can't enable it?

    Any idea on what to do to get it working again? I'd rather not factory reset if I don't have to.. I hope that's detailed enough, I can try and find other info if needed. Thank you in advance!

    Sony NW-S205F charges and says USB connect, but is not recognized by computer.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 12:35 AM PDT

    I have tried everything:

    • Going through the manuals found

    https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0007626M.pdf

    https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0007626M.pdf#p68

    https://docs.sony.com/release/specs/NWS205_specs.pdf

    https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/support/digital-music-players-nws-series/nw-s205f/specifications

    • Checking Device Manager and making all hidden items viewable Installing Jsymphonic
    • Using multiple USB cables Running Win XP in a VMBox Running the hardware wizard and
    • trying to install drivers Using different computers Using Ubuntu to try and discover the usb that way

    Nothing has worked so far. The issue is that this device is not recognized on the computer end, and I need it to be in order to add music to the device. I bought this item off of ebay and it had music already on it, so I know it can work. Please if you have any idea help my cause.

    gtx1060 laptop keeps switching to between integrated and dedicated graphics mid game in Apex Legends. I suspect a lack of ram.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 12:25 AM PDT

    I have a dell g5 with i5-8300h, 8gb dual channel ddr4 memory and a gtx1060 max-q. In the middle of matches in apex legends, the frames will suddenly drop insanely and when I check in task manager it is clear that the activity has switched from 1060 to intel graphics. Is this a problem due to ram or cooling or something else?

    I'm not sure what info is needed so please let me know and I'll promptly add it..

    Anyone know of a Facebook "autolike" bot which can run on Linux, preferably self-hosted?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 04:03 AM PDT

    Question in the title, google-fu failed me. Corporate at work is bothering us about liking posts on our Facebook page,

    since I don't really want to think about it, would rather run a bot which would do that automatically for me.

    I found this one on Github: Autolike , which is exactly what I need, but it does not support Linux based OS.

    I would like to run it from my home Linux machine, so if anyone knows of an alternative, thanks in advance!

    Gigabyte Z270p-d3- cant install Windows off USB

    Posted: 30 Mar 2019 07:15 PM PDT

    Hello, built two computers today with the exact same build except different cases. First build went off without a hitch. Second build is not accepting the preinstall driver. I get to the installation, it requires the driver, I put the second flash drive in with the preinstall driver and it says no new device drivers found. Tried using Windows boot tool, Rufus, re-did the preinstall flash drive. The only difference is the first build that worked had an extra USB 2.0 up top that I used. The second PC has 2 2.0s on the same hub. I'm sort of lost. All the hardware seems to be working flawlessly. Just getting blocked by Windows Install.

    There's a hidden folder which isn't showing when I 'show hidden'. I'm not sure what it is?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:57 AM PDT

    While I was on another software (Blender) I went to save my file and in the directory it showed that I had a folder called "Recovery" (not C drive). I've never seen that before so I opened up file explorer to see it and made sure 'show hidden' was selected under view. Other hidden folders showed up but not "D:\Recovery". If I type in D:\Recovery in File Explorer, it still takes me to that folder, but I have no idea what it is, or how I would even access it if I didn't type it. I tried googling and found some stuff for a Recovery folder on the C drive but mines not on the C drive. Is it still the same thing? And why can't I see it even if I ticked 'show hidden'?

    Dell Inspiron 15 7537

    So my laptop's display stopped working a few months ago. Today I finally attempted to see what the issue was and found out that the LCD was bent. I'm considering ordering a replacement online but was wondering if this cable would be an issue. It doesn't seem to be in great condition, would I also have to replace the cable?

    Do the default A records in my DNS need to be there?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:45 AM PDT

    After I create a new subdomain in Cpanel the system autogenerates a bunch of A records

    webdisk.mydomain.com

    webmail.mydomain.com

    cpanel.mydomain.com

    cpcalendars.mydomain.com

    whm.mydomain.com

    cpcontacts.com

    I'm migrating things to Cloudflare so was wondering whether these are actually doing anything or if I can get away with just the domain.com and www.domain.com A records being pointed to the server.

    TIA.

    I have to scan in all my kid photos today. How do I do that and remain sane afterwards? Is there any tips to speed up the process? Should I scan 1 at a time or multiple at a time and divided them through the snipping tool? Is there a better way to do the division quicker?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:44 AM PDT

    I've been putting off this for years but I have no excuse today. I just don't know the best way to do it. Should I scan 1 and done? Or should I scan 4 (one in each corner) and divide them with my screenshot tool? Is there quicker options?

    DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE(Blue screen of death )

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:43 AM PDT

    hey everyone, can anyone plz tell me the meaning of this error code : DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

    I ve been having these BSODs quite regularly over the past few days, accompanied with the aforementioned error code.

    I did try looking it up, and found out that it's probably a driver malfunction. So upon checking the status of my drivers, i found an unregistered one for an unknown device, so i disabled the later hoping that the problem got fixed. But it's persisting.
