| Best resources for those looking to learn more about IT as a whole? Posted: 26 May 2020 08:28 PM PDT I'm trying to get better at using contemporary IT devices as well as understanding how they work. I'm an accountant who is an advanced Excel user, have an intro to Python, know SQL and am comfortable navigating a PC but need to update my knowledge base as well as get a great conceptual framework for how information technology works. Any tips/recommendations? [link] [comments] |
| I think my phone connects to random calls at random times. Posted: 26 May 2020 06:04 PM PDT I have already posted this to r/techsupport but I thought I would try here too. This has happened twice in the last few weeks. My phone will go quiet and on the volume list it will say 'in call volume' (I linked a picture of this). This happens at random times when I am using my phone for completely unrelated things. It never showed an answer screen or allowed me to hang up it just starts connecting and ends connecting when it likes. On the other side of the line you just hear normal sounds like breathing and moving. You dont hear talking, which makes me wonder if this person/bot is in the same position as me ( or if it even is something and not just a slight glitch in my phone) Today I ran avg virus protection through my phone and it didn't pick up any malware or risks. This could just be nothing and me overreacting, but I still find it kind of creepy. Does anyone have a similar problem or any advice? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 May 2020 01:54 AM PDT To clarify, I live alone. The isp setup the internet and router in the cellar where I have my den years ago. I have been on the porch lately trying to enjoy the outdoors without going outside on account of allergies, and my signal on my laptop,phone consistently drops even on 2.4ghz, I know 5ghz it's to be expected. My internet speed is 100/100 mbps on 5ghz and around 60/40 Mbps on 2.4ghz band. I appreciate the help guys.

| Best alternative to technology? Posted: 26 May 2020 02:31 PM PDT I run a carsharing company, and we require our customers to keep the Carkeys ON the RFID reader placed ON the dashboard to successfully end the trip on the app. some customers are clumsy and don't place it properly and the key falls out of the RFID reader, which does not allow a customer to end the trip and they have to ensure that they key are placed correctly on the RFID reader. what technology can I use so that the device can automatically recognize that the key is in its proximity even if there isn't 100% contact between the key and the reader? should I increase the sensitivity of the READER, I don't want users to keep the keys on the RFID reader, I want them to be able to put it anywhere near it.

| Where do I start concerning the making of an app? Posted: 26 May 2020 07:13 PM PDT I know nothing about coding and how to even make an app. My app will need to have users locations enabled, ability to upload pictures, and maybe messaging. [link] [comments] |
| How critical is the absence of Google play support in Huawei tablets? Posted: 26 May 2020 10:17 PM PDT How much does the absence of Google Play Store affect Huawei Tablets (such as Mediapad)? As far as I can imagine, mail, YouTube, drive, etc., could be run from the browser. What are some of the deal-breaking deficiencies? [link] [comments] |
| Smartwatch that can play music through built-in speakers? Posted: 26 May 2020 05:49 PM PDT Hi all. I work in a packaging plant and, by rule, we are not allowed to have phones or headphones with us. To get around this prohibition, I'm looking for a smartwatch that will play music through its own, built-in speakers, and without a phone nearby. Do any such watches exist? Thanks.

| Posted: 26 May 2020 05:29 PM PDT Looking at trying to simplify my game cabinet, but I don't want to sacrifice FPS or quality for some long chain of connectors. Especially, if I end up trying to also add in an ElGato capture card between the AV receiver/TV or whatnot. Eventually I want to upgrade my current AV receiver to one with more HDMI ports, but I might still need a switcher for a few ports. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |

| Looking for budget friendly router Posted: 26 May 2020 04:47 PM PDT I'm going to be moving apartments soon and will need to purchase my own router. I'm pretty clueless about the differences between them and why there is such a large range of price points. I'll be moving into a 400 sq ft studio, so the signal doesn't necessarily need to encompass a huge range. However, I will need to be able to reliably videochat via Zoom and have relatively decent speed (not too sure how that will factor into what one I buy). I already have a SURFboard SB6190 modem if that changes anything. Thank you in advance for the help - it is very much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 May 2020 05:54 AM PDT on allot of laptop and office keyboards have secondary functions over their f1-f12 keys such as raise volume or skip track. I am wondering if there is anyway i can map a shortcut either in windows or in the bios/uefi to skip a track or something using a keyboard without these special function keys Edit: im more specificly looking for the windows/system program/service that you get when you raise/lower the volume using volume keys on a laptop, that dialogue controls pause/skip etc using mouse clicks. what im wanting to do is hopefully bind a keyboard key combination to a powershell/cmd call.

| Has anyone successfully installed learning with texts recently? Posted: 26 May 2020 07:10 PM PDT The language learning software called Learning With Text (http://lwt.sourceforge.net/); I have been unable to get it working. When did you install it, what's your operating system, and what guide did you use? Warning: it took me three hours and I couldn't get it to work. Treat carefully. [link] [comments] |
| Looking to buy a refurbished phone; what is "shadow used"? Posted: 26 May 2020 09:00 AM PDT They have several options for condition of the phone, one of which is shadow used. What is that? [link] [comments] |
| Internet bad in my room, but don't know if it's distance from router or device Posted: 26 May 2020 03:26 PM PDT I have my PS4 in my room, which is a fair distance from the router. Internet and streaming hardly work when there are a few people using the internet (so, like, all day), and works completely fine when no one is using the internet. However, our internet should be much better and should have no problem streaming, even with lots of people using it. Most importantly, the internet on my computer is silky smooth in my room and never gives me issues, no matter what I'm doing. Is there any way to test if the problem is with the distance from the router or if it is the device? And whichever is the issue, what can I do about it? [link] [comments] |

| Can't Repost Link After Deleted for Fault Not of My Own Posted: 26 May 2020 01:45 PM PDT Hi, I just tried to post to r/technology, and when I hit the button for 'suggest title' a line appeared telling me I couldn't do that. So I named the post myself, with nearly the exact title. I did not sensationalize. I made an honest effort. So my post was not approved or deleted, and I was told to repost. Well, funny thing is I can't do that. It tells me that link was submitted in the last 90 days. Neat automated feature, except this means I literally cannot repost the link and it is important to me that it gets posted. Is there a way around this? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| How to retrieve deleted draft from gmail account (when it’s merged with outlook account) Posted: 26 May 2020 11:26 AM PDT I bought a laptop that has windows and it made me create a outlook account. So I typed in my gmail adress and it made an account. Recently I was writing a really long draft on my gmail app. That took me ages and it deleted. The app crashed and deleted it. And I saw that in outlook you have a way of getting the draft back. So if I log into the merged outlook email on the outlook app. Will I be able to retrieve the the draft. I was thinking about unmerging it and merging it again. Because I saw there was two options the way it was merged. And for one of them all gmail information is passed over. And I can't remmeber which one I pressed. But then I'm worried it would be less likely to retrieve the draft. Because I'd already bought the new laptop the accounts were merged, when i wrote the draft. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 May 2020 10:37 AM PDT Hey redditors. I am looking for a cheap gpu, cpu, and ssd for my (inherited) dell optiplex 380, and as someone who is new to pcs and how to find appropriate upgrades, I could use some help. If any of you have any budget suggestions so that I could run games easier, that would be great. Thanks my dudes [link] [comments] |
| Would I be able to retrieve an IP address I used almost 15 years ago? Posted: 26 May 2020 10:32 AM PDT So I'm trying to get my old RuneScape account back and I know one of the best ways for them to find an old account is IP address. The issue is I played RuneScape about 10-15 years ago before moving to my new address. I was just wondering if the IP addressee stay the same over time? For instance, after moving house would the new occupants of my old house have the exact same IP address I had when living in this house? (Does that many any sense? If this is the case, I can contact the people we sold the house to and ask if they would be willing to share their IP address. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 May 2020 09:07 AM PDT Okay so dumb me manages to break the SD card reader in my switch. I really don't want to open it up to fix it. Would it be possible to have an SD card reader to USB-c and have it read the data that way? Thanks : ) [link] [comments] |

| USB-c splitter for laptop charging and external monitor? Posted: 26 May 2020 08:11 AM PDT I have an external monitor which is both powered by and receives info. through a usb-c to usb-c cable from my laptop. My laptop has just one usb-c port, through which it can either be charged or power the monitor. I've been looking for a usb-c port splitter which I can plug in to my laptop such that it can be charged and use the external monitor simultaneously, however I've only found products for mobile cell phones (so that you can use the port in the phone for both charging and headphones). I'm not sure these would work. Laptop: lenovo thinkpad T470S Many thanks. PS. I am aware that the monitor can be powered separately and has a HDMI port, which my laptop has, but I'm trying to reduce the number of cables and would like to be able to use the HDMI port on my laptop to connect to yet another monitor, because I'm that extra.

| How to stop people capturing my screen Posted: 26 May 2020 07:57 AM PDT Hello fellow Redditors! I am an IT trainer (mostly MS Office) and I encountered a certain problem - people capturing my online trainings. I mostly use MS Teams and I knows how to block this function there, but I would like to know if I can stop people recording my screen by other means (like CTRL+G function in Windows 10). Is there some way to do that? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
