    Neighbors affecting WiFi?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 04:57 PM PDT

    So I hope this is the correct place to ask this, but ever since my neighbors moved in, my WiFi quality has dropped significantly. I'm not sure what they could be doing to cause it, if they even are, but maybe they're setting up stuff like WiFi or TVs for the house or something. If anyone has any ideas why this could be happening, they would be much appreciated. And no, I don't think it's a coincidence because it started almost immediately after they started moving in and has been continuing ever since

    Can you output 90hz if your phone is connected to a 144hz display?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:31 PM PDT

    I have a One Plus 8 Phone it has a 120hz display, I game a lot on my phone while it is connected to a controller. Most of the games I play get around 90 Fps on the phone.

    I would like to connect my phone to a monitor for a bigger screen, is it possible to get 90 hz on my monitor if my phone is connected to it and the game is 90 fps?

    What is the best external SSD hard drive for under $100 USD?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    So as the title says, I'm looking for a good SSD drive to put some of my games on because I am running out of space. The drive needs to be over 1 TB and preferably under $100 USD. I'm not good with technology so I thought I should ask you guys.

    Anyway, thank you guys! Sorry if that's a ridiculous request.

    Here's a Weird One: Headphones Issue

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 04:39 PM PDT

    This just started earlier today.

    I use a pair of headphones with my MacBook Pro. The issue now is that on center balance, the audio in the headphones sounds garbled. If I go full right or full left balance, the audio comes through clearly, but in both sides. I tested the headphones in my iPad and they worked normally. My laptop speakers sound fine.

    Thoughts? I'd rather not buy a new laptop or headphones.

    Is there an existing all-in-one device on the market, akin to a professional 'sonic screwdriver' if you will?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 12:53 PM PDT

    I'm a teacher (and person) so something that is portable that can effectively fulfil all the following modern functions, besides phones, which can appear a little unprofessional:

    Television remote, torch, calculator, etc Browsing and lots of app functionality All the things ordinary computers can do (doesn't need to include gaming really) Wireless and easy synching/casting to monitors and TV, etc Communication (social apps and traditional texting/calls). Diaries/Calender Visual and touch (keyboard/mouse) interface. USB connectivity alongside additional plugin possibilities to enhance it like a external harddrive or USB stick.

    I've looked at things like PC sticks but they lack a visual interface without a secondary devices so I'm hoping there exists something like a small/portable tablet that does all those things, etc. Any help is appreciated, I've looked everywhere but besides custom building it (I have no such skills) I'm doubtful that it even exists, price isn't necessarily an issue either because it will be the centre of my professional life for years. Almost like a modern, more advanced PDA if that makes sense...

    Laptop for uni

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 12:32 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a laptop to use while studying at uni. My current laptop is definitely at the cheaper end of the price scale and therefore has pretty rubbish performance, so I'm looking for an improvement.

    I'll be doing engineering but most programs will be on uni computers; there probably won't be any need for me to download them or run them myself. I would use it more for research and writing up projects etc, along with a bit of programming and whatever other personal stuff.

    In terms of price, it's not TOO much of an issue so long as I'm getting what I paid for (well, technically my parents have offered to pay for it), but as I've said above, I don't need anything too fancy. However I don't want to make the same mistake as last time and sacrifice quality for price.

    Any recommendations would be incredibly welcome :)

    EDIT: forgot to add that I'd vastly prefer Windows to MacOS and have no experience with Linux, so in terms of OS, it's windows all the way

    I'm not able to type on a laptop with complete privacy and it's ruining my life.

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 07:33 PM PDT

    There's something I was supposed to type over a month and a half ago and I got a brand new Lenovo laptop from Best Buy. Something happened where it had to be delayed. My dad inserted something into one of the USB ports and took it back out instantly which enabled him to see everything I type on that laptop from afar without having to ever get physical access to my laptop. So I had to return it to the same Best Buy I got it from. He's done this to multiple laptops of mine in fact, every one of them and I'm curious if getting a laptop from a different brand and a different store will make it more protected. 

     How do I do ubuntu, ubuntu usb stick, ubuntu boot, ubuntu boot drive, Linux boot drive, Linux software, tails, set up a bios password, set up administrator password and keep it hidden, set up a bios feedback password, set up a bios feedback and harden my laptop all **combined** on my brand brand new Lenovo laptop I'll get from Best Buy today?

    Do you have a daily task a random gadget could make easier?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 05:47 AM PDT

    I'm an engineering/comp science student (highschool) and i have to come up with a project for class. problem is, i have no clue what it would be because it requires creativity and, although our teacher says the idea can be completely absurd if we want it to be, i want to actually make something usable.l, but my life revolves around my desk too much to be able to think of anything that i could think about automating somehow.

    So, do any of you have some benign little task you do in daily life that could be easier with an automation gadget you haven't yet heard of?

    I'm not able to type on a laptop with complete privacy and it's ruining my life.

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 06:12 PM PDT

    There's something I was supposed to type over a month and a half ago and I got a brand new Lenovo laptop from Best Buy. Something happened where it had to be delayed. My dad inserted something into one of the USB ports and took it back out instantly which enabled him to see everything I type on that laptop from afar without having to ever get physical access to my laptop. So I had to return it to the same Best Buy I got it from. He's done this to multiple laptops of mine in fact, every one of them and I'm curious if getting a laptop from a different brand and a different store will make it more protected. 

     I'm curious, if I get the same Lenovo laptop I got initially from the same Best Buy, but brand new, so same exact laptop but brand new and I connect it to the WiFi, will my dad be able to see what I type without him having to get physical access to it because he's already compromised the same laptop previously and since it's the same he doesn't need to get any physical access to it? So I learned he can and now I realize I can't type in the house in privacy ever even **if** I ensure he never ever gets physical access to it or gets the password or pin to the laptop, or any passwords I use for the laptop or anything on the laptop, he can just do it via WiFi. Someone knew but wouldn't explain it to me and just said I need to "learn" which I suspect he said because he sides with my dad and what he's doing but the truth is my dad simply wants to see what I type. He doesn't have trust issues with me. It's me who has trust issues with him *because* of this exact thing. Why he did it? He simply has a compulsive desire to see what I type but I don't want to derive from the focus of the post. Anyway, so now you know I can't type on any laptop in the house, because no matter what laptop it is, he can just see what I type even if I make sure he doesn't get any physical access to it. So how do I type without anyone able to see a thing I type? I was supposed to type this thing over a month ago and this is *ridiculously* overdue. And if I buy the same exact Lenovo laptop but brand new from the same Best Buy, connect it to the WiFi and start typing, and he didn't get any physical access to this laptop, will he be able to see what I type from afar just by means of WiFi? Yes he will. Is what I learned. But why? Is it because of WiFi or because the laptop itself is the same as the one he compromised? And if I get a completely different brand new laptop from a completely different brand from a different store, and connect it to the WiFi and start typing and he never physically touched the laptop will he still be able to see everything I type on that laptop from afar despite it being a different brand and from a different store? With all this, if he can see what I type on whatever laptop even if it is different store and brand, how do I type this thing in complete privacy where no one can see? Am I going to have to go to Starbucks and connect to their WiFi and type after I buy a brand new same Lenovo laptop?

    I plan to get the same exact Lenovo laptop I got initially but brand new from the same Best Buy. If I do this and connect it to the house WiFi and start typing, will he be able to see what's typed without ever touching the laptop? How do I make it so that I can type on the laptop with complete privacy? I need to type this thing as soon as humanly possible and I'm not going to do it in my house which is my dads house because he can see everything I type and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to type it in private. 

     Please tell me where to type it so that I can be in complete privacy. Do I have to go to McDonald's or something like that? I'm trying to make it so I can type on a brand new Lenovo laptop that's the same exact one I got initially that he compromised from Best Buy but brand new in my house connected to the WiFi and this brand new one, that no one but me has touched, no one but me can see what I type, that's what I want. How do I achieve that? When I buy the same exact Lenovo laptop that I initially bought but brand new from the same Best Buy I returned the first one to, and connect it to the WiFi(house WiFi) and start typing, and it's only been touched by me how do I make sure no one can see what I type on it from afar since my dad can remotely install a keylogger on my laptop? How do I achieve this? How do I achieve no one but me can see what's being typed on the new laptop. I'm trying to make it so I can type on a brand new Lenovo laptop that's the same exact one I got initially that he compromised from Best Buy but brand new in my house connected to the WiFi and this brand new one, that no one but me has touched, no one but me can see what I type, that's what I want. How do I achieve that? My dad has a PhD and is brilliant at mathematics. He works for the government. Knows a lot about technology, he is incredibly tech savvy and knows a lot, A LOT about technology. He makes above average income. Some might consider very above average or extremely above average. That's objective. He can and does go into a great big conversation about Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and apple. I've heard it all. I've heard he can send a file that contains the keylogger to the brand new laptop I'll get when I connect it to the WiFi. Someone told me he has to have my computer password to do this. I've heard he can remotely put a keylogger in my laptop without getting physical access to the brand new laptop. I've heard root kit, IT skills, etc. Essentially, these are the ways he can see what I type from afar without having to get any physical access to my laptop. Assuming he's able to do something where he can see everything I type on my brand new laptop from afar, with just me connecting the laptop to his WiFi and typing, how can I with 110% certainty make sure he can't see a thing I type from afar when I'm in my/his house connected to the WiFi?

    I had a thinking that since he compromised the first Lenovo laptop I got from Best Buy, the one I returned, that if I got the same exact laptop but brand new, then I would be more vulnerable to a hack or my laptop getting compromised in some way without him having to get any physical access to it whereas if I got a different brand laptop from a different store, he would have to get physical access to it to hack or compromise it. Is it more vulnerable because it's the exact laptop same even though it's brand new? Is it like this where if I get the same laptop he'll be able to do something or has done something where if I get a brand new laptop but same exact kind he'll be able to see everything I type from afar without needing to get physical access to my laptop whereas if I get a brand new laptop and from a different brand and different store, he won't be able to see what I type from afar without physical access? And if it is like that, how do I make sure that he won't be able to see what I type from afar since I'm planning to get the same Lenovo laptop from the same Best Buy? How?

    Please help me. Based on everything I told you, including my dads intellect and also I'll add he spends hours upon hours a day on electronics phone and laptop and computer. Based on everything you've read, please tell me how to make sure 110% he won't be able to see a thing I type from afar when I'm in his house connected to WiFi.

    He can *** literally*** insert something into my laptop usb port and pull it back out instantly while I'm walking in a hallway in the house at 3 am carrying my laptop in my arm closed and off with the USB ports left in the open(obviously as they always are)when him and my mother are apparently sleeping and most the lights are off and I won't notice until after the fact of it happening, which will be too late by then. So I can prevent anyone having physical access. But he can do it while I have the laptop right in my arm, without me even seeing it happen. And no, he's not a ninja or anything but he for some reason can move completely silent despite, I mean he's not fat or chubby and might be considered skinny but I think he might be overweight. Anyway. 

     He doesn't train in jiu jitsu or ninjutsu. He's not a martial artist or samurai. But he can still do that and things like that. Maybe you can explain why. I was literally walking in the hallway with the acer laptop in my hand(that I bought with my own money) and he did that without me noticing while it was happening and I only realized when I got the kitchen and after the fact of it happening. I realized I felt something go into the laptop. I didn't even have any earbuds or headphones on and I didn't even hear him coming down the stairs. That's the thing, I didn't even hear him coming down the stairs and when I went up to his bedroom soon after the door was open signifying he had very recently went out and he had a smile on his face or a small smile or smirk and he wasn't snoring so he was definitely awake. He also before came down the basement stairs all the way to outside the bathroom I was peeing in to stand outside and watch me pee(I had the bathroom door open) and I didn't even notice or hear him come down the stairs which is extremely impressive because everyone always makes a considerable about of noise when coming down the basement I had earbuds in listening to something but I still didn't hear it and it wasn't loud I still would've heard it but I only noticed when he looked at me outside the bathroom with his eyes looking to me oh and when I turned to see he was there his eyes were already off of me. So not only is he capable of coming down the basement and making zero noise but capable of looking at me and turning his eyes away before I even look at him, meaning the moment I turn my head because I felt eyes on me he turns his eyes so that by the time my head turns to him, his eyes aren't looking at me.

    I've heard ubuntu, Linux, doing tails os, hardening my computer, Linux boot drive, ubuntu usb stick, ubuntu usb drive, ubuntu drive, Linux usb stick, Linux software, Linux laptop, hardening my laptop and all that other stuff. So, if I do all this combined, will I be able to type in my house/my fathers house connected to the WiFi without anyone else but me being able to see everything I type? And why? Can I do this all combined? Should I do all this combined? 

     I'll add that just me connecting to the house WiFi, my father will be able to see what I type from afar without needing any physical access because he can send a file to my laptop containing the keylogger over the WiFi since my laptop will be connected. He can also remotely put a keylogger to my laptop. I've heard that installing things on my laptop can get my computer infected with something. I'm curious if installing google chrome after getting the laptop tomorrow will put a keylogger or something to see what I type on my laptop. Assuming that's true, what do I do to prevent that from happening? Knowing that, I'll have to know all the ways he can do that to in the first place. So I'll have to know for every way he can do that. Also, my father has access to this Reddit account. He saw all the advice people have given me. Which means he knows now. He possibly knows how to get around the advice people have given me such as linux. He knows now. He'll act accordingly. So considering all the possibilities of what he can do since he's seen everything people have told me, what do I do not to make 100% sure not anyone else can see what I type on the brand new Lenovo laptop I plan to get from Best Buy tomorrow? Tomorrow I'm getting a brand new Lenovo laptop, the same exact kind I got initially to type what I'm going to type and finish in 7 days, and I need to prepare myself and know exactly what to do to make sure no one else but me can see anything I type on the laptop, from afar. So please tell me exactly what to do to make sure what I type on my brand new Lenovo laptop I'm getting from Best Buy tomorrow is seen my me only given everything you've read. How do I do ubuntu, ubuntu usb stick, ubuntu boot, ubuntu boot drive, Linux boot drive, Linux software, tails, set up a bios password, set up administrator password and keep it hidden, set up a bios feedback password, set up a bios feedback and harden my laptop all **combined** on my brand brand new Lenovo laptop I'll get from Best Buy today?

    What is a generic equivalent to the Bissell Model No 1616326 vacuum charging cord that I can buy outright or buy parts to build?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:14 AM PDT

    My girl and I came into possession of a Bissell Model No 2286A Adapt™ Ion Pet 2-in-1 Cordless Vacuum, however it did not come with the charging cord. On Bissell's website the replacement part is, of course, out of stock.

    I don't know anything about this but the parts look rather generic so I was hoping I might be able to buy outright or buy to build an equivalent that would work the same as the one recommended by Bissell and listed on their website. Could I have some help with this and provide me model numbers or names or links to the parts that I could buy on Amazon Prime? I would be very grateful. Thanks.

    browsers caching webpages

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:05 AM PDT

    Does chrome or other browsers cache webpages that is being opened currently? Can you able to find cached version after opened once then closed? I know browsers don't cache a version of webpage contents. Now I think about why we can't have it. What would make worse.

    Why does my iCloud keep interrupting what I'm doing like this, and how do I turn off this iCloud notification?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:35 AM PDT

    I could be watching YouTube, and all of a sudden, this pops up. How do I prevent this from popping up like this and being so obtrusive, and also, what would happen if I totally stopped it from popping up in the first place (i.e. would back ups cease)?

    Help speeding up slow internet

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:15 AM PDT

    We are soon moving to a more rural area where the internet speed seems to cap out at around 10-15 Mbits. Are there any alternative services or available technologies to speed it up?

    I read briefly about channel bonding that combines internet connections. Does anyone have any experience with this or other alternatives?

    Does using my phone as a webcam consumes data?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    Since online class started, I've been using my phone as my webcam since the built-in webcam in my laptop is crap. I downloaded this app called DroidCam and I've been using it for a few days now. I also downloaded Glasswire to monitor my data because I need to try and conserve data as much as possible because my data plan is not unlimited. But then I saw that one of the highest usage was DroidCam. I'm connecting to the webcam through wifi. I just wanted to ask if this consumes my data and should I stop connecting to it through wifi and just use USB connection. Thank you for understanding even though I think this is a dumb question but I just wanted to confim it.

    Hey, vpn noob here. I was using HotSpotShield VPN on my ipad (with the region set to America) in order to access tiktok, and it worked perfectly for a month or two even though I'm in India where it's banned, but now it's stopped working. Can you help me figure out how to access tiktok again? Sincerely, A gen z tech noob.
