    PC Peripherals UPS for someone who hates APC

    I did, and most people complained about the fan noise when on battery, which I understand and accept. Thank you. I contacted APC, and they said they will send a technician. Let's hope they're able to fix it.

    PC Peripherals UPS for someone who hates APC

    I changed the display of the UPS to show input voltage, and it is steady at 240-241V. Granted it is on the higher side, but it is within range of what APC claims the input voltage should be (high transfer voltage is 294V). Also, when AVR is on, this symbol is supposed to display on the screen...

    PC Peripherals UPS for someone who hates APC

    My previous UPS was doing sudden shutdowns in the middle of the night, under trivial load. So I bit the bullet and got myself a premium APC UPS: the APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500G-IN. It was delivered today. Ever since I set it up, the fan has been constantly ramping up and down, which is very...

    Are there multiple gmail accounts signed into your phone? if so, uninstall whatsapp, go to play.google.com on a browser, sign in to your primary account (the account in which the backup is found), and install whatsapp from that interface.

    Windows Move Windows EFI

    Your ideas are intriguing, and the 'startup repair' path seems more 'official' to me, which is appealing. Do you know if creating empty space /before/ an existing windows partition actually works or not? What I remember from long ago when I was into these types of things was that it is hard to...

    Windows Move Windows EFI

    I am in a similar situation, and I searched around a little, there were no good solutions.

It...

    Anyway to extract Transcript from Hindi audio files ? (Hindi audio files to Hindi transcripts)
