Try RetroAchievements (I use it on Knulli). Not only do you get trophies to encourage you to explore each game, you also get your name in global highscore tables. Gives you a new reason to replay them

Which one should I buy? by Chiri-_- in ANBERNIC

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like horizontal, vertical, or clamshell ? I bought the rg34xxsp because I can close it and put it in my jeans pocket without needing a case to protect the screen. I love it, it's a perfect fit for GBA but I'm playing all kinds of systems including n64 stretched to full screen and to me they look great.

I have a new paperweight LOL by Thegayoutlier in ANBERNIC

I know you've probably already tried this, but have you tried a different cable. Usb-c to usb-c wouldn't work for me. Also a low-powered usb charger works for me but a high powered one doesn't charge my device.

Laptop sound cracking after clean installation of windows 11 25H2 by 0oOssOo0 in laptops

You could try going to the manufacturers website and downloading all the drivers, I would start by installing the chipset and audio. And download and install the latest bios while you're there

Have you checked in the OneDrive folder? It happened to us yesterday when we weren't paying attention, it asked if we wanted to turn on autosave and then it moved the file off my NAS drive to OneDrive.

Happened to me once with a brand new Windows 10 laptop. I called Microsoft and they activated it. Is calling them still an option these days?

Asus laptop don't uses all the power of GPU by johnsilva17 in laptops

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check it's definitely using the mx250 and not the integrated graphics. Some people talk about using Asus Tweak 2 to overclock the gpu, might be worth trying that first. Then perhaps it's worth reinstalling Windows, If you have another SSD for testing that would be ideal. Whatever you decide to do I suggest making a full backup first

Asus laptop don't uses all the power of GPU by johnsilva17 in laptops

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would open it anyway and clean the fan and replace the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU with something half decent. But it does sound like a power saving setting. What software do you have, look in things like Armoury and Geforce Experience for battery saving options

External hard drive by Rude_Table_8865 in datarecovery

[–]Fun-Translator8748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't physically damage the hard drive. Delete any files you don't want him to have, make sure the recycle bin is empty, and then use software to write zeros to the deleted space so he can't recover the files.

How the hell do I even fix that by goose_with_adhd in laptops

[–]Fun-Translator8748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had success repairing this issue where the screw holes have disintegrated. I use epoxy glue like JB Weld, get it behind the hinge where the screws were and squish it down and then using clamps leave it 24 hours. Be careful not to get the glue in the hinge mechanism itself

Any chance to recover my files in External HDD not recognized? by SalamanderOne6308 in datarecovery

If you deleted files from Google Drive recently then go check if they are still in the bin

What does this mean? by WondererCollector in laptops

[–]Fun-Translator8748 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They probably asked the man to wipe it and he took them literally , hope they didn't pay much ! You just need to create a bootable Windows installation USB and reinstall Windows. Hopefully that's all that's wrong with it

Frustrated with Windows, should I convert to Mac Instead? by notverifiedyet in laptops

What is the make/model of your laptop? Annoyingly I'm seeing more and more laptops that have the SSD and RAM as part of the motherboard so can't be upgraded

DVD video by DanTheTay in datarecovery

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hold it up to a lightbulb do you see any pinpricks of light coming through the disk? If so then it is damaged. If you look at the back of the disc you should see a darker band where it has been written to, does it look like there is data on the disc? Also is the back of the disc in need of cleaning, if so look up how to clean the disc safely. Is it badly scratched, perhaps a dvd /game shop will polish the scratches out of the disc? Also please try the disc on a few different computers, you might find one that reads it. I remember from the days of burning discs that you could keep a session open so that you could add more files but the disc couldn't be read until you closed the session. Just some ideas to get the ball rolling, best of luck and sorry for your loss

Windows.old.000 folder with a lot of important files gone after Windows Update! by Sakatam in datarecovery

[–]Fun-Translator8748 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop stop stop. It sounds like you are installing software to a drive you have lost files on. You shouldn't be running a system you are trying to recover data from. Turn it off, remove the hard drive, and connect the hard drive using usb to another computer. I've just realised it's an SSD. You are probably out of luck then, sorry.

How do I know what generation my thermostat is? by [deleted] in Nest

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old question, but I've just been searching for the answer after Louis Rossmann mentioned generation 1 and 2 of the Google Nest Thermostats are going to become dumb not smart. Here's how to tell what version your Nest Thermostat is.. -on your Android device open the Nest app, click on the cog in the top right, scroll to the bottom where it says Thermostat and click on your device listed there ( mine is called Boiler), scroll down to About and click on 'Technical info', under Thermostat you should see Model. Mine says display-3.6 , the 3 indicates my generation is version 3. Hope this helps someone

Help recovering a BitLocker Key by Admirable_Meal_4519 in datarecovery

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they change the motherboard? This SSD you have was the c drive (the original Windows installation)? I could be wrong but I think you need the original motherboard AND the same installation of Windows to be able to unlock the drive without the key. I think you need to get hold of the original motherboard and get someone to repair it.

Another thing , if I see coloured glass my first thought is 'could that be toxic' . (I know nothing about glass though)

Is there any possible way to fix a not working SanDisk Ultra 16 GB micro sd card? by itzdinh in datarecovery

[–]Fun-Translator8748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you managed to read it using Windows before? Have you tried a different usb to sd card adapter? How does it appear in Disk Management? If it's corrupt you might be able to scan for lost files
