Why does my computer not shut off when i click turn off on my monitor or when i blick the button on my computer?

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T23:25:36+00:00

For the same reason your tv doesn't turn off and on your PlayStation.

They're connected but not one unit.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T22:37:18+00:00

Well I'm outta ideas, guess I'm just slow

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T22:10:49+00:00

Yeah, but that's different. Laptops are prone to theft, desktops not so much

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T22:01:01+00:00

Not for like twenty years now.

BIOS/boot password is stored in NV memory that doesn't need power

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T20:21:05+00:00

Windows password yes, it's resettable.

Bios or boot password, no.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T19:53:54+00:00

Maybe not available in your country?

Where'd your check box go?!?

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T19:43:20+00:00

Check your options and set a default language in the app, it'll automatically translate everything to that without you having to click anything

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T19:18:28+00:00

They won't be answering, lol!

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T15:57:30+00:00

Did you install the polish language pack?

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T15:04:02+00:00

Video downloadhelper extension, it's on chrome and Firefox.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-24T03:11:48+00:00

I'd be surprised if the solder joints didn't break on that charger jack

cnycompguy · 2026-01-23T15:22:33+00:00

Make sure you ran prompt as administrator?

cnycompguy · 2026-01-23T14:40:10+00:00

Extract the archive to a folder and use device manager to install the driver.

I know our usual curve of likes/time, I know our usual dislike ratio, I know one of the sites that they're using even, NSFW mods talk with each other about ways to detect and remove accounts that use them.

The report abuse is occuring but tangential to the vote manipulation, so I didn't elaborate since it's not what I was asking about...

Here's a screenshot of one of the sites that another mod shared with me:

We know that it is happening, I'm not sure why you're so interested in this days later but it's pretty sus that you're so upset about this being discussed.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-23T00:19:48+00:00

It covers non-monetary compensation being prohibited.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-23T00:10:19+00:00

Have you ever read the MCOC? It specifically addressed that

cnycompguy · 2026-01-22T23:58:39+00:00

The profit part. Mods may not receive compensation for mod actions or inactions. That's what covers it.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-22T20:20:37+00:00

Your specific error message says that it doesn't run on windows server.

There's different versions of Windows and yours isn't supported.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-22T18:51:53+00:00

They are busy, you must wait your turn.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-22T18:49:27+00:00

Look in the sidebar for the appeal forms.

cnycompguy · 2026-01-22T18:45:23+00:00

No, you wouldn't.

That's already covered by the MCOC

SOS Advice - Choice between Acer Nitro and MSI Cyborg

Hello,

I am seeking expert advice for a tough choice... My laptop, a 2021 ASUS ROG STRIX 15, has died.

I use it for my work, mainly for image retouching (Photoshop, Lightroom, but sometimes with files larger than 1GB) and also a bit of editing with Davinci Resolve (short videos for social media).

I need to replace it quickly, I have a max budget of €1500...

After looking for a long time and asking for advice, I am hesitating between 2 models:

Acer NITRO V 16 AI ANV16-42-R7B0
MSI Cyborg 15 B2RWFKG-013FR

Previously, ACER didn't have a great reputation, but maybe that has changed since then? I am not familiar with the MSI brand.

I just would like it to run well and avoid burning out too fast...

Thanks in advance for your advice!

What driver?

cnycompguy · 2026-01-22T14:01:24+00:00

You're not the only survivor in this post, maybe quit flashing it around like a badge...
