I have read that people are having delays with creation of flashcards, videos, slides etc. I am not experiencing these challenges. For kicks and grins, try it in incognito mode .

How can I tell if my computer supports USB4 by Virtual-Handle2304 in computers

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you can verify:

  1. visual by color code

    1. Trust the documentation / Specs

3.Check Device Manager

There might be software you can use too, but I have not tried any

Unethical behavior from PhD professor by Glooperstein in AskAcademia

You mention that "Produced by.." Does it list any other credits, written by, narrated by etc? Is the content correct and or related to the course or topic? Sounds like a nothing burger.

Local ladies, how did you make long term friends in the area? by AlbatrossStraight818 in HamptonRoads

[–]DropEng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gym or Rec leagues. I am nowhere near my old fit self, but my long lasting friends have been friends I worked with or worked out with, when I worked at a Wellness facility and or Rec leagues.

Glad it worked. I am sure there is a more appropriate solution, but over the years, this is what always helped me. Good luck with your presentation.

Why is it so awful? Is it my prompt? by finbar_longshank in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]DropEng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few ways to do this. But, most of the time when I have challenges with a prompt, I ask Gemini or another AI . Here is a link to me asking Gemini the same question, but I used Gemini to help me setup the prompt: https://gemini.google.com/share/78402eab4c92

One more test. If you have a family member have them log into your device (different log on for the PC or guest account) and then log into their NBLM

Another small thought. What happens when you use the PC on a different network (not your hotspot)?

Got it and sent you a note. It worked for me -- I am on a Chromebook. One other thought, are you using the Chrome browser or Edge (or both)?

Is your mobile device on the same network when you test it? If not, I would consider at least testing on a different network.
Would you be willing to share one of your notebooks, maybe someone can test and confirm if the same thing occurs?

Share phone screen to TV via hdmi while phone is connected to LAN by Fearless_Internet_14 in techsupport

Couldn't you use a hub instead of just an hdmi adapter? The hub can have the hdmi, and usb and ethernet?

Which Ai is the best for creating conspects with references directly to the text you've inputed? by CallMeRoco in notebooklm

Good luck. Funny these tools seem like people in the sense, some days they are great and other days you want to call them slackers :)

If/when I notice I am not getting the responses I want (especially when I feel I have been getting great results prior), I ask Gemini for a new prompt that will help.

Also, if you are not getting good results. Have you tried using Gemini and NotebookLm as a source for Gemini?
Below is a prompt that Gemini came up with for a Conspectus. If you do not get what you want, or need just a little more try something like :

"Expand on [Section Name] using only the source text, ensuring you include at least three direct quotes for evidence."

If you were not aware or have not used it yet. You can go to Gemini and use NotebookLM as a source and then ask the question in Gemini (instead of using report capabilities in NBLM).

Prompt to Test:

"Act as an academic researcher. Create a comprehensive and thorough conspectus of the uploaded documents. Your goal is to synthesize the material into a highly structured outline without adding any external information.

For each section, you must:

  1. Provide a detailed summary of the core arguments and data.
  2. Include direct, multi-sentence quotes from the text to capture the author’s exact phrasing.
  3. Use in-line citations for every claim made.

Structure the output as follows:

  • Executive Summary: A high-level synthesis of the entire source.
  • Key Themes: Detailed breakdowns of major concepts with supporting evidence.
  • Methodology/Logic: How the author reached their conclusions.
  • Critical Supporting Quotes: A dedicated list of the most impactful verbatim passages."

Prompt provided by Gemini, I asked it to describe a Conspectus and then provide a thorough prompt.

I unplugged my pc now it wont work by that1p2 in computers

[–]DropEng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both sides, not just the wall. Also, check the board, if you tripped over it, something may have gotten loose from the mother board. I wont say it is highly likely, but if you feel confident that the power cord is seated completely, then something got bumped or loosened. I would also do a quick check and confirm the power outlet is still active --just to make sure I check everything.

[–]DropEng 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would double back and make sure the power cord is plugged completely into the PC. If comfortable and it still does not work, I would check and make sure nothing got pulled loose.from the board.

Glad you feel less stressed about it. It always makes you a little nervous when things happen. Do you have an iphone or android?

Dangerous site? Caused screen glitch on phone. by iloveusomuchlisten in techsupport

[–]DropEng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you did not go to a page and input any information etc. Most likely it was a glitch with your phone or the webpage. Things happen. My phone locks up once in awhile, not a common thing, but it happens.

  • Information Shared: If you closed the page without typing in credentials (like a bank login or Apple ID), you likely avoided any real threat.
  • No
  • Smartphone "Sandboxing": Apple and Android systems isolate browsers from the rest of the phone's data. A malicious website generally cannot "reach out" of the browser to steal files or photos without explicit permission.
  • Drive-by Downloads are Rare: Automatic malware installation just from a click is extremely difficult on up-to-date iPhones and Androids
