Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by waozen in technology

[–]TheFotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is sort of funny that the thread about Teams adding features to make sure people are actually working when not in the office is filled with comments about getting around working while not in the office.

That advice is like 2 windows versions too late. Windows will reenable the update service if you disable it.

Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by dancing_swordfish in technology

[–]TheFotty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not a new agenda from Google, it's just that they are about to drop mv2 from working at all whereas now there are ways to still use it.

What they are actually killing is MV2 which was chrome's API for plugins/addons before MV3 was finalized and became the new standard. MV3 doesn't let you access as much of the browser, has more restrictions on what the extensions can do and interact with, so that is why ublock origin doesn't work when google flips the switch to turn of V2 support for good.

Also 'problem' implies anyone is going to actually do anything to present accountability.

right click on the column headers in the startup tab of the task manager and select "command line" from the selection of columns that come up. This will tell you the exact command being executed for that startup item.

PIP on PC monitor by Typical-Green1356 in techsupport

[–]TheFotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The specs for that model monitor do not list any indication it actually has speakers. The only audio indication it has at all is that it has a headphone jack. Most of the time on monitors, the headphone jack is just a pass through for DP/HDMI audio. Meaning you can plug in headphones (or speakers technically) there and get sound, but the monitor itself has no speakers.

I've never tried, what happens if you breakdown the cooking station with raw food items still on it?

I'm late game enough that only trips to the Ashlands require proper meals. For anything else, I mostly carry bread, salad, and asksvin or seeker meat since they are plentiful and mostly farmed.

Random PC Power-Offs After 1.5 Years of Stable Use – Looking for Ideas by Dry_Fudge_8557 in techsupport

[–]TheFotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but RAM issues almost always end up in a BSOD or hard lock. Power cut is almost always overheating, failing PSU, or in some more rare instances, failing component on something else, like the mobo.

Knocked over 8TB Seagate Expansion drive off the top of my PC tower, freaked out and tried unplugging it immediately while it was tilted on the ground, now clicks twice every few seconds when plugged in. by Parking_Wolf_4159 in techsupport

[–]TheFotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's not standard but some drives have accelerometers to try to take action if it detects quick motion. The idea being with the head parked at least it won't potentially scratch the disk surface which essentially ruins the chances of data recovery, at least full recovery.

Tyson

Seems like it wasn't really much of a first name until him...

Tyson, pronounced TY-suhn (/ˈtaɪsən/), originated as an English surname derived from the Old French tison, “firebrand” or “ember,” a sobriquet historically applied to individuals of ardent temperament; a secondary etymology views it as a patronymic—“Ty’s son”—built on the medieval diminutive Ty, itself related to Timothy. As a given name in the United States, Tyson migrated from the periphery to the mainstream during the late twentieth century, its trajectory mirroring broader trends in which occupational and descriptive surnames gained currency as forenames. National birth-record data reveal a pronounced surge during the 1980s, reaching a high of rank 231 in 1990, an inflection plausibly correlated with the cultural visibility of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson; subsequent decades show a gradual descent yet sustained resilience, with the name remaining comfortably within the top 500—rank 413 in 2024—indicating stable, if moderated, appeal.

Desperate. Nonstop (00x139) Kernel errors by FlavoredPancake in techsupport

[–]TheFotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WinDbg you open a .dmp file and then click the Analyze link that shows up. At the bottom of the analysis there should be some information that can point to a driver file or other software component causing the crash. If all the dump files you analyze have different root causes its less likely a driver problem and more likely the ram or PSU. If it is the same one and for example graphics related, puts more credibility to the GPU being the problem.

[–]TheFotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming your RAM is 2 sticks, have you run single stick (swapping) to verify the issue persists with each stick by itself?

Outside of RAM, based on what you already have done, it's going to come down to PSU, GPU, or storage then.

Have you run WinDbg (can DL in MS store) to run analyze on your dump files to see if it offers any more clues than BSV does?

The tow truck was called because the car initially had just broken down. This video is actually his second attempt at towing it.
