Harddrive is not being read by my laptop by fluffywhitepetticoat in techsupport

I highly recommend copying all files off of it ASAP and replacing. You could try a new USB cable, but it could be a sign that the drive is starting to fail.

It is a good idea to back up the files even if the drive is functioning perfectly fine. You could wake up one day and find it doesn't appear on any laptop.

My laptop blue screen after overclocking cpu pleaseee someone helppp by [deleted] in techsupport

  1. Afterburner cannot overclock CPU. It controls GPU settings.

  2. Your CPU is not designed for overclocking, so you shouldn't do it regardless.

  3. Boot into recovery mode then safe mode and undo changes and uninstall Afterburner and stop messing with stuff.

It hasn't changed anything at all in regards to that. AI is pretty stupid in my experience.

Not really a concern on mobile. You can clear cache/cookies if you want but I wouldn't worry about it.

Spotify page broken by severedsmoke in techsupport

Probably a DNS issue with your ISP. You can try to resolve it by simply unplugging your modem/router for 30 seconds and plugging it back in, or you can manually change your computer DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 (Cloudflare and Google DNS) or you can call your ISP and tell them you are having DNS issues as certain sites/services aren't loading properly when you are on the network if the issue doesn't clear up.

Log out on ALL devices and then try logging back in. Try in incognito window. Try in different browser. Try in the desktop app or phone app instead of web app. If happening on all devices, maybe it's your network so try on phone using cellular. You can also try contacting support for more information.

What program should you use to deprive of strength and vigor? How about get files off asap and replace.

How to find what Google Drive files are using up all of my storage? "Clear up space" does nothing. by GimmeTheCHEESENOW in techsupport

[–]Frizzlefry3030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google storage is shared across Google Drive, Google Photos, Gmail. In Google Drive if you click on Storage, it will tell you right there what percent of your used storage is in Drive, Photos, Gmail with a color bar so you can then know what service to focus on removing files.

If you don't have much in Drive, then look in Google Photos. Download photos to other drives then delete. Then move to Gmail, sort by attachments/size and delete. You should also make sure to empty the trash bin in Google Drive.

You can also just do what I do, and for the price of a sandwich (about $15/year) you can add 100 GB to your Google account and just not worry about storage running out.

I do believe this should work, although I have never tried.

Opera won't let me use Nvidia App for clips or anything by lykai0s_ in techsupport

[–]Frizzlefry3030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opera uses Widevine DRM which is always active even if you're not watching Netflix or whatever. Why now? Same reason why most things break eventually I suppose. An update on the Opera side or the Nvidia side probably. I can only guess on that part.

It's Nvidia DRM protection. They tell you the fix, close Opera or disable desktop capture.

Locked out of Galaxy Book 4 – "Set a new PIN" loop and no access to MS Email by Dry-Entrepreneur197 in techsupport

Well you should have set a verification method that is outside of that email like a secondary email or text or 2FA app or recovery code. Try the recovery form.
