So I've been getting the occasional BSOD and it recently started getting a bit more frequent, so I decided to run a memtest86 over night to check if it's maybe the RAM causing it. I got 1 error, so then I tested each stick, 1 by 1 (every new stick I would test I also put in a different slot) but I only tested first 3 sticks, thinking that the last one is faulty, since they all passed the test, but yesterday I decided to test the last one as well and that one passed as well. So now I'm confused, not sure what to do... I was running on 3 sticks for 2 days and I didn't get BSOD, but that still means nothing because it was rare occurrence anyways.

Should I test all of the sticks again? Is there a better test I should be using instead?

(RAM is not OC'd btw)

This is one of the longest running problems without a solution i have ever had (it caused me to seek out alternative clients in the first place) Anyway, heres the deal: Youtube doesnt seem to remember my history on any video, heres the things i tried: check of history is in (it is) ad these to ublock origin .video-stats.l.google.com .s.youtube.com disable ublock origin try a different browser ( fresh firefox and two different chromium ones) disable tampermonkey

And today i looked at my history again, and the weirdets thing is it does remember the position and when i open the video from googles watch history, it works, i opened a video normally after that and it worked too

Anyone with any idea what is going on here would be greatly appreciated

My ultimate goal is to install Xubuntu on this computer, but I am stuck.

I cannot find any way to get into the BIOS to change settings, including being able to boot to the USB installer drive.

I have tried F1 held, F1 repeated, Fn+F1 (held/repeated), same with F2, same with F12, same with Del.

I tried telling Windows to boot to UEFI settings, but it reboots directly to windows.

I ended pulling the drive and removing all the partitions, in hopes that then it wouldn't try to boot to Windows anymore. Now it just gives me this: !

Using this menu, I can't boot to USB, nor can I boot to DVD.

I opened it and do not see any jumpers on the visibe side of the motherboard. I also did not see a CMOS battery. There are lots of tiny ribbon cables and the heat sink+fan that I'll have to remove if I need to look on the other side.

What I want most is access the the BIOS / UEFI settings.

If a workaround like installing an OS to the drive using another machine and then putting back in will probably work, then I'll try that, but that will be such a hassle.

This is quite the technical question and I doubt I’ll get an answer on this small community but I’ll try it anyways.

So I’m a very heavy YouTube user and comment multiple times pretty much every day for years. Over years I wondered why I haven’t received notifications when someone replied to my comments and only got notified when someone directly referred to my handle or sometimes when someone liked or a creator hearted my comment (which made my experience on YouTube very lonely since I never got anything back).

Now I figured out I disabled the specific notification setting responsible for comment activity called “Notify me about activity on my comments and posts on other channels” (I must’ve turned this off in the past prolly cause I got too many notifications) and after turning it on I randomly got notified about past comments from me that literally have thousands of likes and hundreds of valuable replies and interactions that I missed out on.

Now I’m wondering if there is any way I can get an overview over all the replies I ever received on my comments because I can’t go through every individual comment I ever posted since they’re way too many.

If there is no direct way maybe there is some script or some trick that can pull all the replies I ever got and maybe see my most liked comments to see all the interactions and comments I missed out on.

I bet there are many people who want to see all the comments they got on their own comments so an answer would be much appreciated.

So I got some water damage on my tablet, the screen was broken since water seeped into the under layers and I had to replace it, I noticed it wasn't letting me draw so I replaced the Wacom ribbon since corrosion had borked the resistance in one of the pins. Now it was working, or so I thought, and finally glued it back together.

As you can see here there's a big sensitivity jump in the middle, and before you suggest it, no I dont use a magnetic case, never have, any ideas? I want suggestions before I go ahead and order the replacement Wacom board, that's my suspected culprit

Hey, I have two laptops & I'd like to get a triple monitor docking station that supports both of them, they are:

MacBook Pro - M3 Max - MacOS Lenovo X1 Carbon - 6th generation - Fedora 41

I got this dock: https://a.co/d/1vaXV11 and have been able to get it working with the MacBook, but my attempts to get it working with the X1 Carbon have been unsuccessful.

I can still return the dock if there are other suggestions? Thanks in advance

I currently have the motherboard of a Dell XPS 8930 in a Thermaltake CTE T500 case with a Corsair CX750M power supply.

The machine complains about a defective power switch cable on boot, because the Thermaltake's power button does not have the special Dell magic - but it had been running fine like that for months.

Recently, however, the machine has been rebooting once or twice a day, most of the time when I am not around - either in the middle of the night, or while I am at work.

I was in front of it once when it happened: The screen turned black for a moment, then the machine booted up. It was as though someone had pressed the reset button. The reset button, by the way is not connected, but the cable is tied away safely, and can definitely not touch any metal parts.

This started right after my UPS died; I had the PC plugged into the wall for a while, and that was when it happened first. It is now plugged into a UPS again, but that did not make a difference.

This far, I've verified that all connectors are firmly seated (including RAM and the video card) and reinstalled the OS. I've visually inspected the motherboard - no bulging capacitors or similarly scary stuff as far as I can tell.

I guess the next step would be to replace the power supply. It is quite new, but I suppose it could have gotten damaged, or just be a lemon.

Any cool ideas for other things I could try before I do this?

I am a back en dev who is terrible at anything frontend. I can not design web pages. I know my stuff in the hosting and back end development though.

Now I have started my own firm for consulting as a dev/ops engineer and would like to serve some sort of company web page.

What I want is very simple. One page. Good looking design. Information about my company and what I do, and a mailto -link for contacting me.

One single simple static web page for this. No fancy scrolling or effects.

How do I go about this? I have tried 11ty, Hugo, WordPress, and simple HTML templates.

I feel like neither of these are the right tool. They are either very complicated, full of features, or they create badly looking web pages.

11ty, Hugo and Jekyll all seem nice and more like what I need, but they are focused towards blogging which does not fit my use case. The templates that look good that I found didn't work and had minimal or no instructions at all about how to get them to work.

What is clear to me is that I have a huge front end shaped gap in my competence that I should work on. Please do not bash me over this.

Now that you understand my situation; What tool or template would you recommend that I use?

I just want a simple good looking landing page with info and a link.

Thank you for any support or advice. I am just tired of failing at something I feel like should be an easy task to manage.

Well shooting my shot here since no else had this problem online and tech support still hasn't replied to my request in 4 days now. Anyways I was trying to update my system, an ancel fx2000, continued to "check for new version" and boom a power failure because of a downed power line somewhere. I go to boot it and originally got a message relating to "DOWNLOAD.BIN" or something similar. I was and still able to access the contents of the SD card via my laptop's SD card reader and deleted, not before copying over to my desktop, both Download.bin and ex_download.bin to see if that fixes. It got rid of the original message but now displays "Failed to verify EX_DOWNLOAD.BIN." Anyone have a solution on what to remove from the contents of the SD card or even a way to just get a fresh copy of it's contents in case I need to reformat it? I'm grasping at straws here and appreciate any help.

TLDR: Struggling with an Ancel FX2000 after a power failure during an update. I deleted (still have a copy) "Download.bin" and "ex_download.bin," which resolved one error but caused a new one: "Failed to verify EX_DOWNLOAD.BIN." I need help fixing the SD card or obtaining a fresh copy of its contents since I haven't received a tech support response.

Update in case you're in a similar situation: SD card ended up dead, brought a new one for 6$, reformatted it to fat and ran the upgrade software, BOOM

I have this Gigabyte B450M D3SH motherboard running my now ancient AMD Ryzen 2200G with 16 GB RAM. If my memory serves right, it was working as expected with the original BIOS. Since I always like shiny things (software side when free) I went to update the BIOS sometimes a few months ago. Initially I attributed the random changes of boot order to CMOS battery outage and kept postponing the battery change. Recently I finally managed to change the battery but still the problem persists.

I multiboot between various Linux installations and Windows installs. So I use rEFInd as my boot manager. Whenever I set it as boot manager it works for the next reboots until the computer is shutdown. On reboot it takes the Windows bootloader from my second hard drive and boots into it straight away. I thought it might be something to do with secure boot, but even when I have set Fedora as the default boot, it still goes to Windows.

Now the only way I have of booting any other OS is by getting into BIOS.

Is there any fix for this?

I came across this post while searching for a solution and it does not give me much hope - https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/zagupr/my_boot_priority_order_keeps_resetting_itself/jkqpa2p/

What if I flash an older BIOS on this motherboard?

This is an external ssd, so I'm not super worried about things going wrong.

Hello everyone. I have a system with Ryzen 9 7950x, 32GB 6400 mhz DDR5 ram, 1 TB primary SSD where Windows 11 and Linux installed and Gainward RTX 4080 graphics card and Asus Prime X670-P Wifi mobo. I also have 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD's mounted. 2-3 months ago, I started to get crashes on my both OS'es. And in time, they got frequent. I bought a brand new SSD for OS installation, after a while it started again. I cannot get any error message on Windows, since BSOD screen just stays for 2-3 seconds and system restarts. After restart, I sometimes get "no Bootable device found" error on boot stage. When the crash happens on Linux, dmesg outputs show something like whole SSD disconnected. It shows I/O messages for root partition as well. I changed primary SSD 1 month ago, errors still persist. Sent mobo to the service, no issues were found. BIOS also updated and reset. When I run PC on live Linux media, I get no issues however. What can I do else? What can cause this issue? Thanks in advance.

When you send a message to someone who has blocked you on iPhone, you get a green bubble. Same as you get when you text an Android user successfully.

I didn't think that was so hard to understand.

It's always eaten at me when I see someone taking a photo of a parking lot sign or some trivial piece of information, saving megabytes of data for a couple of bytes worth of data. However, I find myself guilty of doing this sort of nonsense sometimes as well now. I don't want these photos getting synced to my photo cloud, and I'd prefer it if they were much smaller, lower res photos anyway. Is there a decent app I can open that I can quickly take default low res photos with and keep them separately stored locally without integrating to my photo gallery? Preferably FOSS of course.

Hey All,

I have been using kitty+picom for roughly a year without any issues that weren't self inflicted. This week that may (or may not have changed). When I launched kitty on monday all of my transparency was broken and adjusting the configs did not seem to fix it.

My dbus may be broken. Though I do not know how to confirm if that is the case. Any help would be appreciated, I have been casually using this for about a year but my knowledge is mid at best. Thank you beforehand, and if this isn't enough info I can get more.

A bit of basic information beforehand that should be relevant:

• OS: Fedora 40 (x86_64)
• Desktop: KDE Plasma 6.1.3 (5.27.x -> current) (Wayland)
• Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X470-PRO
• Primary keyboard: Keychron S1 (tested on stock firmware, Windows layers)

The issue in some more detail: alt-tabbing windows in KDE sometimes leaves behind an alt keypress in the window that was alt-tabbed from that won't go away until alt is registered as pressed again by the window.

This has certainly been an interesting issue that has been a problem for at least a year at this point. I've finally gone in to do basic troubleshooting regarding the issue. I have pretty much ruled out hardware at this point. Originally, I had my primary keyboard plugged into my monitor's USB hub. In testing, I tried another keyboard, migrated the connect to my motherboard rather the monitor's USB hub, and the alternate keyboard plugged into the motherboard. All tests eventually result in the same issue happening over time.

One thing I see as a potential pattern but cannot fully confirm is that it appears these remnants of alt keypresses only show up in XWayland windows, and not native Wayland applications. Applications I have seen it occur in include Minecraft Java Edition, various Proton games, Electron applications that don't enable native Wayland support (e.g. Discord), Steam. This issue also occurs less if I allow XWayland apps to always see modifier keypresses. Though I assume this is more from the tendency to alt-tab back into affected windows, registering another alt keypress.

At this point, I am pretty confident this is software-related, but I cannot find any existing bug reports within the past three years (especially noting any relevant to KDE) that describe this problem. I am unsure of how one would go to debug this category of issue or even find the root cause component that is causing the issue. I am curious if anyone here has also had this irritating quirk occur and/or if you know any workarounds/fixes for this given problem.

As well as all my important stuff in /home, can I transfer over the operating system as well as everything in the root partition? What about the Windows Partition? Thanks in advance.

We are a group of hobbyists managing a mailing list. Mailchimp insists on SMS authentication to login now which has scuppered our plans to spread the workload.

Are there any free / cheap services that would receive a text messages and forward it by email to several people? If not, is there an alternative way to deal with this situation? We’re not necessarily attached to mail chimp but delivery is important.
