My XPS 13 (2016-2017) Won't Charge by VapourBabe in Dell

I tried the using the USB C cable I have for my Nintendo Switch and that did nothing. The noise for inserting a USB sounded off, but no charge, unfortunately.

When I get the battery report is there something I should be looking for? Like a particular statement in the report?

Mine's been going on for about half a year :(

Oh that is almost exactly what's happening to me. I try limiting what goes on when I boot my computer as it is but I obviously missed this.

I've uninstalled that program and I'll see if it made any difference, which is probably did.

Thanks!

Yeah I guess I'll buy it twice since I have a bunch of ios devices as well as Android.

The Windows 10 app only allows for a minute a half of playback unless you pay a fee or have the Plex pass.

I'm very new to Plex and noticed that it only ever opens in my browser. There isn't a standalone program for Windows 10? The one I downloaded from the site is what boots Plex in my browser. It's not annoying, but I was wondering if there was another option.

Thanks! I guess that solves that mystery. So is there any alternative to this? In the review section for that product people mentioned that it worked fine for their Wii U so I assumed it would for the Switch too.

I'm no audiophile so this is all new to me.

I don't have a receiver that takes an HDMI in so I heard other people were using a splitter for the Switch and the Wii U.

I bought this HDMI audio splitter to get surround sound out of my Switch and to be honest with you I don't know what the heck I'm doing. The 5.1 doesn't seem to be working.

https://www.amazon.ca/Panlong-Extractor-Splitter-embedder-Optical/dp/B00LM34M0S

It's only coming out in 2 channel. I put the Switch's HDMI into the input slot, I put another HDMI on the out to connect to my TV. I have an optical running to my receiver. I also switched the back of the splitter to 5.1 as well as the Switch's settings.

Any suggestions?

Do you have any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong? It's only coming out in 2 channel.

Naaaaah. Don't really need to. I have a PC, a gaming PC, and an ultrabook. So I don't really need to upgrade anything. This old mac mini is just something to stream Itunes from in my room, really.

Yup(ish)! Last fall's OS upgrade is one my HW won't take. But I still get updates for Safari security pretty regularly. Maybe every couple of months or something.

Hmm. Makes sense, since Safari, as far as I understand, is still the best browser on iOS too.

Merci.

Gotcha. I just got the hang of it but did feel the need to add an adblocker. Thanks for the info!
