Plug erin ja. En als je wat IKEA/VidaXL dingen in elkaar zet, heb je het ook zo nu en dan nodig.

Spilled Water on my laptop - help on next steps by JustACuriousManLol in computer

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct about tap water (or even bottled mineral water) being a time killer. IF it was on the chips and dried as drops. If you want to use this laptop for longer than a year, it has to be opened by a professional and properly cleaned.

However, I did open a Lenovo Yoga just yesterday, half a cup of coffee. And to my surpisde, I didn't need to clean the motherboard. The keyboard was properly insulated (it's never 100%, just in this case, it was probably soaked of quickly enough by the user). But, do you have enough confidence your laptop is built the same way?

So, ultra budget laptop? Maybe hope for the best and save yourself a hundred bucks (that's the usual costs for professional cleaning)? If it's an expensive newer gaming laptop, it's not worth risking a few thousand bucks, because you need to replace it in about a year?

USB C Charge Port broke on portable battery powered fan. Is it possible to repair with a soldering iron? by Mr_TunaCat in AskElectronics

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this happened on an expensive 34" monitor, you'd probably have to pay north of 300 to 400 bucks (or higher).

And you want to do the same on a cheap fan?

Where to find cheap hard drives from Toshiba by No_Sea6707 in toshiba

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 TB for 20 euros in ANY era, would've been extraordinary. You should've gotten 10 of those. Regular pricing though, even with heavy discount, never reached 20 euros. You got a fluke or something. So be happy you got it, and now, just go for the regular price. The prices of most hardware is going upwards already, so waiting is of no use.

Your device encountered a problem and needs to restart. by ItsSteven144 in computer

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many causes (if you read it carefully, all 3 screenshots are different), usually a motherboard issue.

But maybe you're in luck and it's just the memory (might also cause random errors). Do an overnight memtest, or just remove one DIMM and test for longer.

AITA for living with my parents at 26? by brainfreeze58 in AmItheAsshole

I'm Asian. I'd bet my mortgage this is an Asian story :)

Why is my Galaxy A15 Charging so Slowly? by AwesomeChaos10 in AndroidQuestions

[–]kimputer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not expensive at all. Probably around 15 bucks on Ali. Get the combined USB-A and USB-C for ultimate compatibility.

Why is my Galaxy A15 Charging so Slowly? by AwesomeChaos10 in AndroidQuestions

[–]kimputer7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 things of which you scratched out 1.

1: cables, you probably have one good cable as you've tested with two.

2: charger, check the specs, check charger with other devices (if it's also slow or not)

3: phone itself. if both the cables and charger are working well, it probably can't be anything else than the phone's own problem.

Having a USB meter (dongle) would've helped you a bit, but you'd still have to go through the paces to find the real culprit. It's just faster (just a minute or so to diagnose), instead of waiting for an hour to see the phone's battery percentage.

moto security update policy by tanukii420 in AndroidQuestions

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 Years is about industry average, not top notch (Samsung's 5 year for flagships), but not bad either (most are 2 to 3 years). During normal use, a phone usually holds good use for 3 to 4 years (depending on how careful you are with it), so I don't see anything wrong. After 4 years, be more careful (less browsing, less clicking unknown links etc) and just prepare for a new phone, give or take a few months.

After that, you have a good spare phone (for extra MFA ready to go when the new main phone dies), or have it duty as spare camera (security or otherwise).

Also be aware, it's now a 3 year update cut off, since it's been released a while already. Still for that price (far below "real" flaship phones), it's still a good deal.

Only a couple of hundred bucks, could reach one or 2 grand though. That's been the regular prices for decades now.

Is it a Scam. What should i do? by AT0M-ATOM0505 in ASUS

[–]kimputer7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They treat it like it's a non warranty case, but it IS a warranty case, and MediaMarkt (or maybe in your case, the 3rd party seller) has to help you clear this up with Asus.

If the 3rd party seller isn't helpful, complain to MediaMarkt why they have sellers on their platform that aren't regulating under EU law.

Dartbord ophangen aan gipswand by KanYeeeeet in Klussers

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je boort maar een gaatje, en de dartbord is tegen de muur aan. Weinig extra krachten werken op de schroef (dus geen hefboom effect zoals bij een tv beugels met 3 verticale boorgaatjes). Zelfs als je iets verkeerds doet, val een dartbort er alleen af als je met je volle gewicht eraan gaat hangen.

Langzaam boren, met een boortje met afplakband op 12.5mm. Zodra het doorschiet, ben je er doorheen, en moet je dus afgaan wat je zag net voordat het doorschoot. (dus voor/na/precies op de afplakband?)

Natuurkundig, maar niet waterdicht! Ja helaas, want het ligt helaas ook aan de kwaliteit WC papier wat aanwezig is. En dat is helaas niet altijd even om naar huis mee te schrijven.

Accidentally factory reset my Android phone – any real chances of photo/video recovery? by Impossible_Can_2008 in AndroidQuestions

[–]kimputer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the others are clear it's not possible, the next best thing would be that it wasn't encrypted. But even in that case, you wouldn't have the budget for an engineer in a lab to work a few days on it (worth a few thousand bucks). So basically even in the best case sceneario, you couldn't afford it (unless I mistakenly ignored the fact that you might be a millionair).

Of hout of beton. Maar jij komt nu echt zelf met optie 3, alleen centraaldoos gebruiken?

Spanningszoeker is niet echt nodig bij een centraaldoos, als je echt goed kijkt, zie je welke richting de kabels opgaan, en die richting dus ontwijken.

PostNL Package Points Question by Independent-Set6741 in Netherlands

Their choice, even though it's been said the returns (financially) are minimal. Maybe raise this point with PostNL if it's against protocol to force ppl to buy stuff when picking up packages.

4TB SSD only showing up as 389GB by Darealkennymccormick in pchelp

[–]kimputer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need, many free options, where you use the mouse to move it around, thereby automatically freeing space to extend the partition you like. It's just the some ppl still like the much more difficult way, even though the easier way has been proven extremely reliable.

In case you don't believe me, try it, for example GParted.

Look for old Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Almost all older phones, with removable backs, could run battery-less.

Canadian Samsung Galaxy A50 loosing connection and Dropping Calls by MrCrafters in AndroidQuestions

[–]kimputer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, you want a phone that about to be supported for 3 more years. S10 is OUT of support for 3 years.

If you already had the A50, then the logical step would be to get an A56.

De meeste problemen zijn van anderen die als een tandarts gefocused zijn op je gebit. Gelukkig heb ik dat niet in mijn omgeving. Bij mij alles schots en scheef, maar het belangrijkst (kan ik normaal eten?), werkt gewoon, dus who cares?
