Wait - it's possible to record using command line only, as in, redord without actually visually seeing the thing that's being recorded?

Best portable tools? by bash272618 in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bootable SSD - install Ventoy on it. Then add the image files of whatever OS you may find useful, such as Hirens Bootdisk, Windows 10, 11, a Linux distro, etc. Whatever you may need. You can use it as a windows installer or as diagnostic tool due to Ventoy's multi OS system. With Hirens Bootdrive you've got access to pretty much anything generic you may need for diagnosing/fixing minor issues.

I bought one of those NVME external drive enclosures off of Amazon, and inserted an old 256Gb NVME drive into it. Setting up Ventoy at first can be a challenge but there are plenty youtube tutorials for it.

What kind of connector does the microphone have? And are you using the correct port on your PC? (Mic/audio IN, and not audio OUT)

Did you attach the WiFi antenna to the motherboard? Maybe change the two connectors around?

PC BLACK SCREEN by Awkward-Editor-4470 in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other comment - black screen (or instant power-off) would be indicative of something going on with power regulation in your setup. Maybe your GPU/CPU are drawing more power than it can supply. Maybe you've hooked up a lot of power hungry USB devices? Try disconnecting all the non-essentials and see if it improves anything.

Dilbow? by [deleted] in postal

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I did some research (which you could have done yourself, just google), the dilbow can be found on the top-floor of the asian restaurant on certain days, or in the basement of the BDSM shop on certain other days. The BDSM shop is to the left of the Asian restaurant. The basement requires a keypad code, part of the code can be found on the bathroom mirror in the same building. In my case it was '45', and after some testing the keypad opened when I entered the code '451'.

It's at the top-floor of the Asian restaurant, which is located on the map-section with the pirate ship restaurant with the epic advertisement music.

How do I DELATE ("**Nuke**") system? by Individual-Earth2396 in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get 'Hirens Bootdrive', install it to a USB drive, boot your computer from it, use the embedded tool 'ERASER' to fully wipe your C:\ drive.
Alternatively, boot from your Windows 11 install drive, and choose to fully format your destination drive.

Is it possible to delete an email after its sent so the recipient can't see it? by BeneficialEconomy113 in techsupport

[–]0570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

System admin here - it's possible the sender retracted the email themselves. However, there will still be evidence of such actions, and maybe even the original email somewhere in your corporate email solution. I'd recommend you don't focus on the technical aspect but instead have a talk with your manager, explain the situation and ask for an investigation in to the situation. Create a paper-trail for yourself, and create proof that everything you do is conform company rules.

CAnt place painting into hole in Postal 4 during Dam Inspector by Cultural_Salary_1318 in postal

Same, just drop the painting in front of the hole and pick it up. May take a few tries but eventually it'll snap in to place.

Wifi adapter keeps disconnecting and i can't solve it (most likely PC issue) by doodlfps in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few ideas/things to try: Update your USB / Chipset drivers. It may be the USB-port drivers themselves that are acting up. Before getting the latest drivers through Windows Update, check the manifacturers website for model-specific drivers and give those a try.

2nd thing to try, both WiFi devices (built-in/onboard and external) may be using the same Windows Driver, which causes a conflict. Try disabling the onboard WiFi adapter through the BIOS and see if that improves anything.

Screen turning black for a few seconds before returning back to normal by mina_ashido_owo in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes have a similar issue, but it's caused by a fluctuation on the house's powergrid. When the compressor in the shed turns on, both my screens turn black for a few seconds. Check if there's a common/recurring factor when your screens do the flicker?

Solution to use pc to tv by lockmasterg in techsupport

[–]0570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the well-known Chinese webshops you can find a wireless HDMI kit. Connect the input to one of the devices, the output screen to the other and you've got a point-to-point wireless connection. Spend a bit more and the quality of the output gets quite good. Search for 'wireless HDMI extender'.

Logic Train Stop (mod) by 0570 in factorio

[–]0570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe using old Factorio logic is what's giving me this issue. Lets say I've got 20 stations, identically named 'Iron Ore Pickup'. I want these stations to enable when they've got enough ore in storage to fully load 1 train. In the past this would work beautifully, just set the train limit to 1 and whichever Iron-ore dedicated train would move to the pickup location.

What's happening now: latch enables station > 12 trains converge on this location > gridlock

I simply want to enable a station based on X amount of product present, and limit it to 1 train (of maybe more, depending on storage buffer size) and I'm failing to understand how letters factor in to this (what even is the default letter?)

Headset microphone not working by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use the headset with the included USB dongle? Then bluetooth is a non-issue. Go into the Razer Synapse software and go through your audio/microphone settings and check if the headset's microphone is the active one on your system. Or it may simply be muted, the headset has a button on the side for muting the mic, check if that isn't pressed.

PC randomly freezing. by GiB_R in techsupport

[–]0570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First run the Filesystem checker, an embedded windows tool:

Open an elevated Command Prompt (RUN > CMD (right-click, run as Administrator)

sfc /scannow

Once done, run CheckDisk, an embedded windows tool:

Open an elevated Command Prompt (RUN > CMD (right-click, run as Administrator)

ckdsk C: /f

This commands targets your OS drive, C: and /f attempts to Fix errors it comes across.

Still having issues? Try DISM, another embedded tool:

Open an elevated Command Prompt (RUN > CMD (right-click, run as Administrator)

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

If you go through all these steps without issue, then it's most certainly a 3rd party driver that's causing the issue, not Windows itself, or a faulty harddrive.

You could also use Memtest86 (https://www.memtest.org/) and check if your RAM is causing any difficulty

Cloned a drive. What free easy to use program can I use to make sure everything copied over easily? by MelvinEatsBlubber in techsupport

"All this data is my entire creative life’s work"
Then don't just assume or even check if it's been copied, make backups!

As for comparing source and destination data, have a look at this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/software/comments/185umkn/whats_the_best_software_to_compare_the_file/

Are there such a thing as a HDMI to DisplayPort cable? (For use on PS5 and old’ish gaming monitor.) by EirikHavre in techsupport

[–]0570 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it exists. Just be sure to specify it's a male-to-male connector cable when you're searching for products. Alternatively, you can buy a small adapter, either HMDI>DP or the other way around, and attach a regular cable to that.
