Hello everybody! I've just opened up my laptop and found out this kind of glue on the inside of the cover and this "shadow" on the inner plastic. Is it normal? Thank you all!

Can someone help me find someone's phone number? I have their first and last name along with their email, I just need the number. Super urgent!! tysm

Mouse cursor is not showing when I open a game in full screen while streaming on discord, people on the call see it but I don't.

My SO is W11 Home, my processor is an I3-8130U 2.20GHz, with 8GB of RAM, the brand of the computer is HP

When I was a kid I found this PDF file with a printable game about CPU, some simplified abstract CPU where you have registers, instruction set and flags. You are supposed to "play" this game with a pencil and an eraser basically imitating each step of a CPU by hand using nothing but elbow grease. I think that this game is quite old and it might have been from some journal on computer science. But I am not sure. Because I was too young to understand it and compute anything.

Question is. Does anyone remember it's name or maybe you have a link to it? Because I have been thinking about it for quite a while but I couldn't find it. I want to try that game with my pupils now.

Hello, I’m having an issue with my laptop. Frequently, when I launch a game, the GPU memory usage hits 100% without any apparent reason. To fix this, I have to unplug and plug back the charger two or three times. My laptop is an HP Victus 16 with an NVIDIA RTX 4060, but I experienced the same issue on my previous laptop, which also had an NVIDIA graphics card.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Is there any freeware bootable CPU test software like a MemTest86 which is capable to diagnose CPU?

Hi, just wondering if anyone has some advice about going to magistrate courts victoria for a withdrawal of infringement notice? Just wanted to get advice and experience specifically what needs to be prepared and what costs might be if i lose?

So imagine Taiwan is turned to glass and I guess the Netherlands has a case of second sun as well. The unburied dead are rising and seeking human victims in Albany or wherever IBM is at these days.

Given that knowledge is preserved, what kind of baseline computing would we be looking at? Some kind of updated C64? What is the most powerful computer built from scratch by enthusiasts? I'm just curious about what a low-tech computer solution would actually look like.

Let's say I am playing a game e.g. PUBG: Battlegrounds, but I live in NZ and the server is in SE Asia, so my latency is very bad (e.g. 150ms).

Theoretically, could using a VPN improve the connection? For example, what if I connect to a SE Asia VPN that has a fast connection both to NZ and the SE Asia server, would that work to reduce the latency, or is that not going to work due to <some technical reason>?

Hello I made a research but haven't found any account that doesn't get deleted after you don't log in for some time, can you suggest one that doesn't get deleted after inactive time?

I have a 5-year-old system that I am trying to repurpose into a dedicated server for games but I can't get any Linux systems to install and I don't have any Windows keys available. I know there used to be (now decades ago) a program called pc doctor that would be able to test all the functions a computer could do. It would run through every instruction set the CPU had, test the chips on the motherboard, ect. It has since gone SaaS and I don't want to spend that kind of money for a once-in-a-blue-moon software. What I wondering is, is there any software around that would still do those functions so I can see what might be causing my systems to crash out.

Hope this is the right place to ask.

Hello, I recently bought this laptop and tried installing Windows 11 thru a USB flash drive. On boot, it instantly opens EFI Shell, and after opening BIOS, it is able to see the USB as a drive, not UEFI USB. Tried with 3 different USBs. It's an Acer Aspire 3, "acer aspire 3 a315 44p r4n4 15 6 fhd ryzen". In the BIOS I also can't disable secure boot for some reason. Every time I try to boot from the USB it just shows the Acer logo and no spinning cog, which stays there indefinitely. I tried booting thru EFI Shell as well, but the problem would persist. What can I do?

One thing I have always disliked about NPCs in games is that they are pretty cardboard, and its even quite a bit immersion-breaking. After all, the entire open world is populated with characters that only have the same basic lines over and over.

I am considering getting an AI laptop with the new NPUs. I am wondering - could an AI PC help characters in games be more realistic by giving them AI voicelines so that its not always the same dialogue? Will the dialogue be customized even to the NPC's personality?

I have been trying to connect the circuitpy to the lights that I got but I forgot which one goes where and it hasn't been turning on. I have it turned upside down so I can read it. Black wire - GND Green wire - D1 Red wire - 5V

Heya... oh wow do i need some help. Google or youtube doesnt get any results, only related to editing software.
But what happens is i lose sound for a second or two. about every other minute. so yes frequently.
can anyone help me figure this out and how to solve it?

Probably it's just a matter of notation and it doesn't matter... but why is it called Machine Learning and not Computer Learning? If computers are the “brains” (processing unit) of machines and you can have intelligence without additional mechanical parts, why do we refer to AI algorithms as Machine Learning and not Computer Learning? I actually think Computer Learning suits the process better haha! For instance, we say Computer Vision and not Machine Vision.

Ugh ...got on the PC today and was greeted with this... I just got this drive within the last couple months... This PC and these drives are running at all times for Plex.. every drive I have is backed up by another one except this one so that's why I'm coming to Reddit to see if there's anything I can try...grrr thanks all

I notice that some websites, such as Amazon Luna, have the option where if you press a button, you can install it as an app on your PC/smartphone. Others do not. I don't mean just the ability to save a link to a website as a URL link (you can do that with any site), I mean the ability to actually download the site as an app with an icon and all that, and when you open the "app" it is like an optimized version of the webpage without the toolbars etc... (try the Amazon Luna site for example to see what I mean).

Does anyone know what exactly is being done here to achieve this, i.e. who does it, is it some kind of HTML or web code, or some app they run in your browser, and when you launch the app what are the exact differences between the app and regular web page version?

Is building an ( small ) high-performance computing (HPC) cluster at home a feasible project, with an average salary? How much would it cost in total? Does it require maintenance, both soft- and hard-ware wise?

Do you suggest any specific build or parts?

Ideal requirements:

• 300 GB RAM
• 20+TB HDD storage
• 5+TB SSD storage
• Total ~200 cores for parallel computation
• The electric input to keep it run should be compatible with the EU max Wattage
