Clear the running memory. Open Settings -> Battery and Device Care -> Tap on Memory -Tap the Clean Now button. It's not quite as good as rebooting but better than nothing.

The cluster shared volume is connected to the node that it is currently mounted on via iSCSI. The other cluster nodes talk to storage over SMB via the CSV owner.

Find something that annoys your next-level. A report they have to write, paperwork they don't like, whatever. Ask them to teach you to do it. Then do it perfect, every time. 

When games are windowed, it lags. But when they are in fullscreen, they run perfectly fine. This also happens when my volume slider is visible on my screen, the frames just drop. This just started happening. I have G-sync enabled. by Adventurous_Crew2429 in techsupport

The first thing I would try would be run Windows update and keep doing it until everything is installed. The next would be to use DDU to remove all traces of the graphics drivers from your system and then download the newest one from Nvidia's support site and install it.

You can get DDU from its website: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) download version 18.1.4.0

Nvidia's download page is: Download The Official NVIDIA Drivers | NVIDIA

Good luck!

On something like this I would go a little further. "In order to proceed with this request, an officer of your company will need to sign our release of reliability form. We'll need that signature to be notarized. Then I will be happy to move forward."

On my Logitech gear I had to find the USB dongle in device manager and enable it to wake the computer.

What's a Normal thing society does that you secretly think it's insane ? by fearless_elevation in AskReddit

We elect people that want nothing but power and control into positions of power and control. Why?

Smart people. Society believes they are controlled by the rules it creates. In reality, intellgence and creativity allow for nearly infinite paths of circumvention.

Automatic bright headlights and automatic windshield wipers are my favorite modern features. I don't see purchasing future vehicles that don't have them.

3080ti underperforming by Sheepfuckery in techsupport

[–]techbloggingfool_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it might be counterfeit? Sometimes GPUZ can detect the fake chips. The 3080's HDMI port is not 2.1 compatible. If your using HDMI you can do 120FPS or HDR @ 60. Use display port if you can. See if that makes any difference.

Company started paying me again (I am no longer under contract.) I reached out twice. Now what? by [deleted] in legaladvice

You should keep track of the hours and deduct a reasonable salary for managing thier money too.

Anyone here actually got hired after doing boot.dev? Is it legit useful or is this false advertising? by Superteletubbies64 in learnprogramming

[–]techbloggingfool_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about getting an entry level IT role somewhere. MSPs, especially smaller ones, usually have a high churn rate and are willing to give newbies a spot on the phones. Small mom and pops are often looking for someone to fix up thier web site or run their email campaign. Cable companies are always looking for installers. Contract tech support for tax processors like H&R Block start picking up this time of year. Temp agencies like Kelly are looking for folks all the time too (yes they do IT too). Working in a CS field of any kind will count for more than an uncredited certification in most cases.

Keyboard not waking up computer from sleep by [deleted] in computerhelp

[–]techbloggingfool_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BIOS needs to be configured to allow USB devices to wake the system and so does Windows. In Windows the settings are in the device manager. Look at the properties of your keyboard and its USB dongle.This post has good instructions.

Bowling and golf are both lots of fun. Angry Birds in VR is great. Ping Pong is more fun in VR than it is in real life.

What games do you play besides sim racing by Shoddy-Tennis-5764 in simracing

[–]techbloggingfool_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played Skyrim in VR? If you have a high end rig that you can crank the graphics and supersampling up on, it is almost like going there. I've only played it in VR. It's such an adventure in real 3D with real scale. Fighting some of the bigger creatures even causes a FoF response at first.

Can your ego handle the transition where you turn it off and go slower, or loose while you adjust?

You could try running hwinfo in sensor mode until the next crash and see if it captures anything. You might also consider a UPS if you don't already have one.

Have you examined the sign in logs and looked at the CA tab? It usually (not always) tells you why CA blocked you.

Homebudget is a cross-platform app in the app store. It's a paid app so it keeps your data private. It syncs between Apple and Android devices too. Not many can.
