| (Possibly a stupid question) Can a mouse dongle log any sensitive information from a laptop? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 10:12 PM PST This might be a stupid question, but If I plug in a mouse dongle to a laptop and then return the mouse, should I be worried about the dongle logging any sensitive information?

| Questions regarding Paypal, Payee Program, and Security Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:59 PM PST Hi, I am creating a Spotify premium account for my dad. I plan to pay the Spotify account using PayPal. Say if the Spotify account gets hacked, 1. Will the PayPal password be leaked? 2. Will the credit card information be leaked? (note: spotify and paypal and gmail are all using different passwords.) I tried googling this question but could not find the answer. Thank you in advance for any input! [link] [comments] |

| Desktop to old TV via hdmi resolution problem Posted: 26 Dec 2020 08:41 PM PST I am trying to find the best resolution to display on my old Sony Bravia via hdmi. The problem is I can only have 60hz on some very weird resolutions that don't fit the screen at all. I'm currently using a 30hz interlaced option at 1660x900 or smthing like That. The 1280x1020(?) @ 60hz looks more sharp and closer to the TV native res. But it doesn't fit the screen at all its very zoomed in. Is there any way I can find the optimal resolution? I have searched many options but can't figure out shit and when I put something wrong in the AMD settings it loses signal and goes blank. I had to do 3 system restores already to be able to see the display again. Any tips would be helpful, merry Xmas! 🤶🎅🎄 [link] [comments] |
| Need a solar powered web cam in remote location Posted: 26 Dec 2020 03:13 PM PST I own a summer lake house in northern Minnesota and am not there during the winter months. The cabin does not have power or wireless internet during the winter months. Is there a device that is solar powered without power outlet and can run off 3G/4G data? [link] [comments] |

| will a power supply to a USB hub fix input lag? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 11:17 PM PST title. i bought a (4x) USB 3 port to USB-C with an option for a 5V power supply for my laptop. All i have connected is a mouse and a keyboard, and still i get major input lag. Like it holds the last letter i pressed for a second or two and prevents any other input from either device. i've tried another hub (but a different model), same issue. Will that be solved by buying a power supply for my first hub? ive read that for things like mice and KBs you really dont need a power supply. or is this an issue of the laptops board or usb card or some shit? or the quality of the hubs i bought? what i bought was similar to this. but also has a 5v jack on the opposite side of the usb-c cable.

| Few questions on the differences of routers / switches / WAPs / modems Posted: 26 Dec 2020 05:22 PM PST Sorry if this is a bit basic. -- Question Set #1: According to this, "computers can be connected to each other via a switch or a router" Would I be correct in saying that this is only possible because most routers have built in switches? Or do you NOT even need a built in switch (into your router) to construct a LAN? If so, then could I say that built in switches (to the router) only serve to add ports for nodes that your router doesn't have enough ports for? If so, how would a router form a LAN if it only works with IP addresses and not MAC addresses? -- Question Set #2: Can a router be wireless without a wireless access point? If yes, then how? If yes, then why would I need a wireless access point? -- Question Set #3: Can you connect to the internet without a modem? If so, why would you prefer / not prefer to have a modem?

| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 01:22 PM PST Trying to get an external ssd for my lenovo legion gaming laptop, not really sure how to choose ssd's for that (found this one so far: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B073H552FJ/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1) Also looking to add an extra monitor to have two screens if I'm working on code and trying to follow a tutorial. My parents have an older screen, but I think it only has vga input so I guess i'd need a converter or something. In terms of newer screens, i've been looking at benq (https://www.amazon.ca/BenQ-24-inch-Monitor-HDMI-GL2460HM/dp/B00IKDFL4O/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=benq+monitor&qid=1609017341&s=electronics&sr=1-4 or https://www.amazon.ca/BenQ-GW2283-Optimized-Brightness-Technology/dp/B07N5MG9LP/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=benq+monitor&qid=1609017341&s=electronics&sr=1-3) Finally to cap off this long ass post (sorry community, im a rookie) I'm also looking for like a decent small-medium sized desk to kinda contain this badboy. I was looking at wayfair, or staples. Not really sure where to look for stuff like that, I'm not necessarily looking for a gaming desk as it would be huge for the available space I have in my room. Super open to suggestions! Thanks so much :) [link] [comments] |
| Facebook video call through TV Posted: 26 Dec 2020 11:06 AM PST Hello, My toddler video chats my parents every day through Facebook Messenger Video, but lately she's been getting excited and grabbing for the laptop screen. I want to get a setup that'll stream the video to the TV and then have a bluetooth camera pointed at her so I can set my laptop away from her while she chats. My wife and I were thinking of Chromecast, but we didn't know if it would work well for this purpose. Additionally, we didn't know if Chromecast and bluetooth cameras could be both connected to my laptop simultaneously. What would your best suggestion be to get this set up? We don't have a smartTV, but it has needed inputs for HDMI cables and all. Thanks in advance for your help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 02:41 PM PST Back when I built my PC I picked up two of these babies: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VS247H-P-23-6-1920x1080-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDS0 stats: 23.6" 1920x1080 2ms Paid $190 for each If I were to get a $190 monitor now, how much better are we talking here? Worth the upgrade? I realize that's something I could look up myself, but I'm having a hard time translating the specs into what they would actually be like if I had the monitor. The comparable one I'm looking at is this: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-242E1GSJ-1920x1080-FreeSync-Replacement/dp/B08FNQCS9Z Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| What are the disadvantages of compressing multiple files? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 05:46 PM PST I have an external hard drive that seems like it is failing, and I don't have the files from that hard drive backed up anywhere. It's close to 2 terabytes of data that would suck to lose. I can't afford another external hard drive to pack it up (I know they are like $50 - I'm a broke grad student and can't swing $50 on something that I don't need). Because of that, I want to store the files in a safe location without it taking 2tb of storage. I know a bit about compressing files into a zip file, but I don't know if it would be a good idea given the number of files I'm trying to store. Does the size of the files impact how they can be zipped? Are there any errors/problems that could lead to me not being able to open the files correctly after unzipping the files at a later date?

| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 01:24 PM PST Hi. Hi have a Lenovo Legion Desktop and two Onn monitors. Each have an HDMI and a VGA Port. Monitor 1 is using the HDMI. Can I get a VGA cord, plug that into my computer and have the monitor work? Or is there some adapter that will let me plug in two HDMIs into one port? Example: I'm looking so that I can have a game open on one monitor, and, say, Discord open on monitor two. [link] [comments] |
