    All OS What Uncommon App you use and what's your use case?

    I use an app called Digital Detox, and it's honestly been a game-changer for me when it comes to productivity. The app helps me lock myself out of my phone (or specific apps) for a set amount of time, so I can focus completely on deep work, studying, or reading without getting distracted by...

    CPU/Mobo Need a Ryzen 3000 older CPU for BIOS Update

    Try checking out some local Facebook PC groups — I’ve seen quite a few Ryzen 3000 CPUs listed there recently. If you post about your BIOS update issue, someone might be willing to lend you a compatible CPU just for the update. Definitely worth a shot!

    FS: Video Card Scammer / Dont trade

    Unless we are using automated escrow systems like the ones used on platforms such as G2G (correct me if I'm wrong), the whole middleman model can be easily exploited, especially if it's based on manual trust. There have been past incidents in Facebook groups where so-called "admin middlemen"...

    How does a financial data analyst improve budgeting strategies?

    A financial data analyst does way more than just track expenses — they dig into data to spot patterns, forecast future costs, and find ways to cut waste or improve spending. Think of them like budget strategists who turn boring spreadsheets into smart decisions.

    Hey, Acer Monitor (Horizontal Lines): This should be covered under warranty, as it seems like a hardware defect. Contact Acer support with details, and they should help with a repair or replacement. HyperX Core Stinger Headphone (Mic & Earpad): Mic not working: Likely a hardware issue, so it...

    Graphic Cards GPU Upgrade Advice for CS2 & Valorant (Preferably Second-Hand)

    Totally agree — CS2 and Valorant thrive on strong CPUs. Your testing proves it well. The 7800X3D is a beast, and even the 12400F punches above its weight. Pairing a top GPU with a weak CPU like the 5700G clearly bottlenecks performance. Great insight!

    Laptops Hp laptop power on method

    Most HP laptops, especially the 14s series, don’t support powering on from a full shutdown using the keyboard or mouse—only from sleep or hibernate. If the BIOS doesn’t have options like ‘Power on by keyboard’ or ‘Lid open resume,’ it’s likely not available. By the way, is WD-40 actually safe to...

    Flashing openwrt on Nokia G-010S-A

    Yeah, that sounds like the most practical approach for now. If you’ve got telnet or UART access working, tweaking the config directly is probably the safest way to get it working with your ISP without risking a brick.

    Windows 11 - End of service after update

    I have a very old laptop that can't officially run Windows 11 — it's currently running Windows 10. It has TPM, enough RAM and storage, supports UEFI and Secure Boot, but the processor is really outdated and not on Microsoft's supported list. I'm not asking how to install Windows 11, but I’d...

    Tired of my ISP and packet loss.

    From what I can see, your connection starts showing frequent and increasing packet loss right around 8:00 PM, and it really peaks between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM — which just happens to line up perfectly with IPL match timings. That strongly suggests Goan Fibernet is getting overwhelmed by...

    Flashing openwrt on Nokia G-010S-A

    From what I’ve seen, the Nokia G-010S-A isn't really compatible with OpenWrt and LuCI out of the box. The guide on hack-gpon.org shows how to flash it with the Nokia G-010S-P firmware, which is a different version of the stock firmware, but it's not OpenWrt. Unless there’s been a recent...
