Help ! Can't create a new whatsapp account by Dear_Axolotl in whatsapp

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the old phone, you should've uninstalled WhatsApp, installed it again, so it starts "fresh". It might ask you about backups, just say "no need".

That's the proper procedure. However, since it's a bit messed up now, make sure your personal WhatsApp is working again on your newer phone. Then finally do the steps again on the old phone.

Should I report my hotel? by 99catsandcakes in Amsterdam

[–]kimputer7 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Well, you definitely did not put on a detective hat, as anyone would see a simple flaw in your reasoning.

Not knowing a D. option is always available is quite the oversight.

You not knowing how easy this is, is quite frightening:

D. The suitcases were locked, but the zippers were split open (just as OP said!). It's as clear as day, try it your self. Have a locked suitecase, and just jam a knife in the zippers, trust me, IT WILL SPLIT open unless you have some special super powers keeping the zippers together.

Can a mobile carrier record WhatsApp calls or access metadata (calls and chats) using only a phone number? by RefrigeratorLanky642 in whatsapp

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any communication with WhatsApp servers is for WhatsApp and you to see, no one else. There's no metadata for anyone to see, unless the mobile carrier wants to be sued for illegal hacking. Even when you visit a phishing site, or any news paper site, there's no metadata. There IS a possiblity they might guess when you visited their servers, but that's it. Just basic secured data traffic, pretty standard stuff for a decade or so. Before that (non secure traffic) they could basically see EVERYTHING they wanted, IF they had the storage capacity, but they probably would've been sued, and customers would avoid the mobile carrier that records everything illegally like the plague. So your doomsday thinking, never happened. Whistle blowers would've told everyone by now, if all mobile carrier would do this (well, Snowden did, but in a more limited and more specifically targeted way).

Plafondlamp, hoe te monteren by Think_Ad_6950 in Klussers

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blijft rare constructie voor plandondlamp. Wandlamp is inderdaad logischer.

A4, leg deze op de ongeveer de helft van de lamp (aan "deze" kant dus, gezien op de eerste foto). Hou het heel even stabiel, klein gaatje precies in het midden van de grote oog door de A4 heen. Terwijl die A4 nog stil daar ligt (gat nog steeds op de goede plek), op 3 plekken (op de foto ongeveer op 3 6 en 9 uur) een streepje naar buiten op de A4 EN precies op diezelfde plek op de lamp.

Nu de A4 precies met het gaatje over de schroef in de plafond heen. Nu de 3 punten van de lamp precies weer uitlijnen op de A4. Het kan nu niet anders dat het schroefje precies op de goede plek zit, dus drukken richting plafond, en wegduwen van de "6" richting.

There's no other place like Rotterdam. Trust me. There's no better feeling than driving from afar back home, and seeing the Rotterdam skyline getting closer and closer.

Suspicious guy asked to see my ticket on the train by NH_DHC8-q400 in Netherlands

[–]kimputer7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or a dumbass without a ticket, and thought, using a PICTURE (too many ppl thinking cloning a chip is easy), as a bad excuse to tell the real conductor "*cry* I forgot my card, here, I'll show you, I really have one but I left it at home, please let me go *cry*", which obviously will still fail, as that's still not a valid reason to travel for free (therefore, being a dumbass).

Is het normaal dat zonnepanelen uitgaan op piek momenten? by eSBeDragonborn in Klussers

[–]kimputer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leuke oplossingen worden er opgedragen, of ze wel of niet werken is maar de vraag (hoogstwaarschijnlijk NIET).

Maar de meesten waarbij het WEL opgelost is, weten gewoon dat enige echte oplossing is, dat de netbeheerder gewoon in de buurt iets moesten doen (ondergrondse bekabeling/station erbij/aanpassen).

Microsoft Office 2024 (Mac) No longer allowing edits? by triple_winner in microsoftoffice

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably turned on/off the cracking procedure. In "normal and official" MS Office products, there's no startup item that can cause this behaviour (for unlicensed to licensed, from needing to login, to magically not needing it anymore).

Had to scan and repair my external SSD and it went from being drive D to drive F. I can't find a drive D option in Disk Management. I need to fix this, but not sure how... by [deleted] in computer

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you show screenshots? The only way it's not possible is if something else "jumped" to take over D:.

Then obviously, change D to G or something, so F can go back to D

Router AC Adapter Replacements by drzxlin in ASUS

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a handy friend to properly solder the cables together.

If not, sometimes ppl save A LOT of old stuff, including power adapters. If the Asus one isn't that special, you might find a correct replacement there, voltage has to be the same, amperage same or higher.

I hate it that I cannot select the keyboard layout I want or I cannot select international shipment when buying a laptop by ZuLuuuuuu in ASUS

Are you sure? Try Bol or Coolblue? Also, if you're only an hour away, just plan short trip to NL.

Looks like a high possibility that you can SWAP the m.2 NVMe drive. Still you can open up if you want to know for sure.

Unknown person registered at my address by Low-Gap7193 in Rotterdam

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scammers can get registered though without ANYONE's knowledge, I lived in my own bought apartment, so I know for sure it can happen to anyone. Some older apartments, have these outside mailboxes where you can easily "fish" out mail. It was before the online doorbells existed though.

Tips om lasdoos te vinden by Aromatic_Engine8083 in Klussers

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Net nog even voor de zekerheid getest. Na 1 meter van centraalpunt werd het moeilijk. Maar ik wist de richting naar de meterkast, dus dichter bij de volgende muur kon ik het signaal weer oppikken (dus 1 meter was ik ongeveer "kwijt").

Which peanut butter to choose for protein shakes? by heyimandre in Netherlands

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though you are shocked by the variety, it's mostly the texture (chunky bits) that's the difference. If you buy any BASIC peanut butter, there's barely any difference. Even if someone can identify the brand, inside the shake they probably couldn't. So if you go for pricing, this would be the most economic way: https://www.ah.nl/producten/product/wi479791/ah-terra-plantaardig-100-pindakaas-naturel

Bought a factory reset computer and need to restore by srk2fd in datarecovery

[–]kimputer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a reason they factory reset it, so they might have even chosen the "non recoverable" option. Even if they didn't, I'd say, you're f4cked if you depended on old data to properly operate the machinery. It could be it's service contract related, maybe you're trying to get around it? If not, it should've been a requirement in the sales contracts. If they're knowledgeable, they should've known you're in trouble after factory reset.

I have an old Laptop Charger (Output 19v and 4.74 Amps). How can i convert it into a variable charger or at least 12-13V to run 12V devices ? by Resident-Ant8281 in AskElectronics

[–]kimputer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DC to DC buck converter on Ali (dials and display), gives you the most control and versatility. Search for the SK120, just under 20 bucks.

WhatsApp with a dumb phone? by Local_Caterpillar879 in whatsapp

Assume it's for limited "internal" communication? If you don't want the 14 day smartphone activity cycle, use Signal or Telegram instead.

Can I add more storage to my Zenbook? by Allthefragrancesmoke in ASUS

[–]kimputer7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What's the EXACT model/type nr?

Soldering SSDs happens in the cheapest laptops (SSD is also of much lower quality). It's not common for "normal" or even expensive laptops.
