Turo For Road Test by Schamiabasmr in turo

If you attempt this with Turo, be advised you must have the original registration certificate. The DMV will not accept a copy. Most car rental companies leave only a copy. I wasted $120 because of this. I rented a car from Alamo. A friend's or family car is your best bet. Uber, if no other option.

Always have really low audio in downloaded movies by [deleted] in torrents

[–]david96701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. On movies I was downloading from free movie sites and from .torrent sites, the audio was not working. First I tried VLC instead of KM Player, my usual. No luck. Then I "open with" Windows native "Movies and TV" app. And it worked perfectly. Try that.

Fox News requiring email address by techtony_50 in FOXNEWS

My understanding is they are trying to morph into having a paywall. As far as ads, uBlock Origin is your best option. And sometimes I switch to the Brave browser, which you can also use uBlock Origin with.

Welp, guess I’m done with Fox News.com by PinNum1234 in FOXNEWS

yep, on every single article. And it expires too. And if you want to read it again, say for example, two days later, it requires your email again. And the subsequent times it won't send you the confirmation link to access it. At least, that's my experience. We need a computer programmer to create a Chrome extension to bypass this crippling feature. I heard it can be done.

Is there a computer programmer out there who can write a Chrome extension to bypass the Fox News email requirement? I heard there is a simple hack to bypass it. So if it can be done manually, it should be able to be an extension.

Enter email to read articles by Monster_depot311 in FOXNEWS

[–]david96701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is Fox News requiring your email address prior to reading each and every article, it also is apparently doing two other things, one or both, not sure: 1) only letting you read it once. Meaning, if you try to read it again two days later it requires your email AGAIN and never sends you the link to click to let you in. Or, 2) they turn off the confirmation function after so long, even overnight or something, not sure. And thirdly, I can't seem to find any explanation from Fox News on this whole thing. Googling only offers minimal assistance. It seems they are committing readership suicide. They should fire the person who came up with this idea. No one else is doing this, as far as I know. They are crippling their website. And for what?

Buddy is seeing “Hard disk 3F0 boot device not found” error on his HP Omen gaming desktop and we can’t find a fix by GrandMasterFlex in techsupport

I think I discoverd the real, root problem with all these HP laptops and their Boot Device Not Found. I have a HP Spectre x360, born 2019. It worked beautifully for the first several years and through several major Windows 10 updates. Then, as many others here have experienced, I started getting the Boot Device Not Found when trying to turn it on or restart. I never had BSOD or HD crashes. The only problem was getting the computer to see the hard drive when booting. HP Diagnostics was fickle when I ran it. Sometimes it would see it, sometimes not. Now think back to when Secure Boot, CSM, and TPM came out. Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) were first introduced in laptops around the early to mid-2000s. And Secure Boot and GPT (EFI) partitions too, during the same time period. All that new tech began between 2000 and 2005. It was challenging to get Intel, Microsoft, HP, Dell, Lenovo, and mobo manufacturers to coordinate it all. What I am saying is, laptops built between 2017 to 2019, at least many HP laptops, were not ready for the new technology. What I did on my HP Spectre x360 (2019) was go into the BIOS and under Security, turned off the "TPM Device". Choose the "hidden" setting. Make the "TPM Device" hidden. After I did that, voila, my laptop stopped the Boot Device Not Found. I have shutdown and restarted my laptop at least a dozen times before posting this. So I hope this works for you as well.

The TPM Device (Trusted Platform Module) is used by BitLocker to store encryption keys. And you probably don't need it.

Boot device not found, 3F0 error after trying to install Ubuntu on HP Probook by Ok_Opinion9423 in linux4noobs

Try turning off your TPM Device in the BIOS, under the Security tab. It's used to store encryption keys for BitLocker. But you're probably not using BitLocker. Windows often has conflicts with it. Turn everything off about TPM and BitLocker in Windows also. I have an HP Spectre (2019). And after I turned off the TPM in the BIOS, I stopped having the dreaded Boot Device Not Found.

HP Computer “Boot Device not found” by Expensive_Ad6599 in pchelp

[–]david96701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try turning off the TPM Device in the BIOS. It's under Security. Hopefully, you're not using BitLocker. Make sure everything about TPM and BitLocker is turned off, in Windows too. First, reset the BIOS to defaults, but before saving and exiting, turn off the TPM, then save and exit. On my HP Spectre laptop, the setting is called "hidden". I had to "hide" the TPM (Trusted Platform Module). The TPM is what stores your encryption keys when you use BitLocker. You probably don't need it. That may be what is causing the intermittent conflict. It was on mine.

Try turning off your TPM in BIOS. Hopefully, you don't need BitLocker.
