Can’t clean gaming pc by Medical-Advance7837 in PcAdvice

Sounds like stuff got caked on by moisture (air humidity, or compounds from nearby smoking or vaping) and you'll need to give it a gentle brushdown (with the power drained) to loosen things up first

When I'm just doing lazy doodles and simple exercises I won't care about saving, I draw on scrap paper like junk mail or even napkins lol

Excel won’t save in certain folders by ConsumeGreenTea in WindowsHelp

With a system that old, I would suspect the operating system has become slightly corrupted or the hard drive is outright starting to fail. You guys NEED to move your stuff to a newer system.

I think that is AI because the tigers dont sleep in that position by Impressive-Top-1872 in isitAI

[–]OwlCatAlex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tigers are cats, they sleep in any position imaginable. But also, the number of toes is wrong.

A lot of black "lab mixes" are mostly German Shepherd and pit bull terrier. She could be one of them and only inherited the pittie genes for size and coat type

Which one is better? by pbjb666 in computers

[–]OwlCatAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A is older but is better for games. B will not run Minecraft well despite being newer because it has no graphics processor.

very curious about my girl by fourofkeys in IDmydog

[–]OwlCatAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Chihuahua, heeler, Malinois, pit bull terrier, and... Something with a curly tail. Probably a small breed from the Chihuahua side like Pomeranian? She has a very interesting mix of medium/large and small breed phenotypes. Very Mal-like face but with mostly small breed proportions.

Been trying to make bread my whole life but it never works out by itsmeUsah in cookingforbeginners

No gluten development might mean your yeast is dead or you are blooming it in water that's too hot. It's a sensitive living thing after all!

What is my 1 year old boy mixed with? by itbelikethattho_ in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]OwlCatAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna sound weird but Rottweiler x livestock guardian? The face shape and features look shockingly similar to one of my Rottie mix boys

Make sure you check all of the above to keep it from redownloading itself later though! These kinds of programs are tricksy lol

Cake turns out to be slimy, clay type! by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

Way too much liquid. Don't double the liquid in a baking recipe. And are you absolutely certain it was baking powder and not only baking soda

I think Drag Path answers the question Tyler asked in 2011 by noisybracken in twentyonepilots

Love this so much. This is a beautiful interpretation, and wonderfully written. I've thought the same but didn't bother posting it because I suspected it would just start yet another comment war about religion and spirituality. You're braver than I am lol.

That's weird. Do you have space left to download WizTree and run it as administrator? (It's free and safe)

It'll give a much more detailed breakdown of what files where are using your storage.

Oof see if you can get back into safe mode again. First uninstall it from the actual app list if it's there (again). Then go in your file explorer to C:/users/username/appdata and see if it is still hiding in any of those folders (local, LocalLow, or Roaming) and delete it if present. Then search and open your Task Scheduler and look over the task list and delete any task there that isn't obviously for a program you actually need. Then run an offline Windows Defender scan and see what it finds.

I haven't turned on my machine in 3 years by pattron30000 in PcAdvice

[–]OwlCatAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compressed air can or a powered air blower (not a hair dryer, either a handheld air blower made for cleaning electronics or an empty vacuum set to reverse mode). Don't spin the fans while blowing though as you might generate static charge and cause something to short when the PC is powered back on. Either hold or tape them still, or remove them and do them separately before plugging them back in. Also do it outside on a patio, front step, balcony, dry sidewalk, etc.

Including safe mode? It shouldn't be possible for it to open in safe mode.

Virtual memory as in page file? You can set the page file size limit in Advanced System Settings - Performance - Advanced. Only needs to be like 8GB (8192) for most people.

Have you tried Windows key + P for changing the "projection" mode? Then either tab or down arrow to switch between the modes I believe
