So, what's the deal with North? in IT Support ·

It’s just like discussing firearms; you can talk about how they function, but once you start detailing how to take someone out, you've crossed a line.

I don't actually use North, but I use a different VPN, and honestly, the logic behind all of them is identical. You basically just use a client to connect to a specific VPN server. Once that connection is live, your "exit point" to the web isn't your local ISP anymore—it's that remote server. Your provider just sees encrypted traffic, but they have no clue what's actually inside the packets.
As far as you're concerned, once you're connected to the server, everything else feels completely normal. Browsing, torrenting, checking your email—it all functions exactly as if you weren't even using a VPN. All your traffic routes through that server automatically, so you don't really have to think about it.

To get the specifics on how North handles things, you should probably check their FAQ. You'll want to see exactly what software gets installed on your machine. I'm sure they lay it all out there.
Usually, when you install one of those VPN clients, there's really just one main button—an on/off switch to toggle the connection to the server. There might be some advanced settings tucked away, but for a beginner, they aren't really necessary.

Is this alright:

And what about this?

Thanks!🙏

Hey everyone

I just set up a trial version, but since I'm a complete newbie at this, I'm not really sure how to actually use a VPN🤦. Like, if I head over to a music torrent site—The Pirate Bay, for example—what am I supposed to do with North? If I'm not allowed to discuss this here, feel free to shoot me a DM. Thanks!🙏

Since my buddy and I both use AT&T, we'll probably just see what kind of deal they throw our way.🤔

electricgull63 said:Anyone using a cellular module or chip
needs to make sure there's a standard SIM card inside, not just a data plan...
I've got an old Huawei—maybe a T3 or T5—from Verizon...
It’s sitting in my kitchen right now... My wife uses it to listen to the radio and look up recipes...
It takes a regular SIM card... It handles calls perfectly fine...

Though, honestly, it's way easier just using a Bluetooth headset...

That tablet is perfect for everyone—kids, my wife, me, even guests when they stay over...
Plus, whenever we head out on road trips, it acts as a great mobile hotspot because the battery life is solid.

So basically, just look for one with a SIM slot and you're set...
Some tablets only come with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Yeah, exactly...

What does "Wi-Fi connection" actually mean in this context?🙈

Thanks for the input, guys, I appreciate it!

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi everyone!

This might sound like a silly question🤦, but since I’m totally lost here, could someone let me know if it's actually possible to buy a tablet that doubles as a phone? Are there any models available on a service plan? What would you recommend?
thanks🙏🙏🙏
Which setting should I toggle? in IT Support ·
fadedbear92 said:Hey everyone!
I messed up my Chrome settings—oops!—and now it’s acting super weird. Every single time I try to log into Gmail, it asks for my email and password, and then it does the exact same thing on every other website too. It won't just remember me! What should I do? Here is what my settings look like:

I actually got it working! Just follow what's shown in these screenshots.🎉
Best free call recorder app? in IT Support ·
I haven't seen anything from sshathost lately—hope they're doing alright! kaže:
It really should be built directly into the phone itself—that way, you can just tap it yourself and be done with it.
I can't believe we’re still debating this—it feels like we've been circling the same drain for years! Honestly, looking at how fast flagship tech evolves, you really have to wonder if anyone actually sticks with the same phone for more than twelve months. I remember back when I picked up my first iPhone in San Francisco; I felt like a king for a week, then suddenly, everything else looked obsolete. It's just the nature of the beast, I guess.

Since you're using an Android, there's an Automatic call recorder app available that handles recording whenever you're on a call.

I found this app on the Google Play Store—it’s an Android call recorder that actually seems to work. If you're looking to capture audio from your calls, this might be worth a shot.
I just came across this call recorder app on the Google Play Store—it looks pretty solid if you need to save audio from your calls. I’ve used a few different ones in the past, and honestly, most of them are such a headache to set up, but this one seems straightforward enough. Definitely worth a look if you're tired of losing track of important conversations!

First off, thanks for getting back to me!🙏

Unfortunately, the devices sold here in the States don't come with a built-in call recorder—it's such a hassle—so I'm going to try my luck with that one random app I found.🎉

Hey everyone!
I think I managed to mess up my Chrome settings—total rookie mistake—because now it’s asking me to manually type out my email and password every single time I log into Gmail, and it won't even auto-fill my credentials on other websites. It’s such a hassle! Does anyone know how to fix this? Here is what my current setup looks like:

Hi there!

Can't access my Gmail contacts? in IT Support ·
Hey everyone!

I'm having a bit of a nightmare with Gmail today—first I was getting hit with 500 errors, then 502s. I tried following some advice and cleared out my extensions and browsing history, which finally got me back into the account, but now my contacts are acting completely haywire. I have no idea what's going on... any help would be much appreciated!🙏

Lady Gaga (Goldfrapp) in Music ·
Finally, the Rose we know and love—but with a totally fresh twist!

It took a full decade to get to this new album, which just proves that evolving from her last project takes serious time—but man, was it worth the wait.

Rose kicks things off by saying, “I feel like my story isn't finished yet...” She echoes that exact sentiment in “Lady Gaga’s Law,” making it pretty clear she’s still got plenty of surprises up her sleeve.

It’s official: Rose is reclaiming her spot on the dance floor.

Mental health struggles and "offers you can't refuse in Psychology & Therapy ·
Olivia Smith2 said:As I mentioned, I managed to go a few months without antipsychotics and the psychosis didn't come back. However—whether I was on them or not—that underlying tension never really left me. I do understand what the psychiatrists were thinking, though; that constant tension can trigger a psychotic episode, so they were likely just trying to protect me by introducing the medication.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'll grab some Rivotril, get moving, and hopefully—finally—start seeing some wins in life.

Did you just decide to quit your meds on your own?
You can't play games when it comes to psychosis.

I’m guessing you’re on some kind of medication—if you are, you really ought to stick to the regimen so that anxiety doesn't just wash you away entirely
Laptop USB port replacement/repair help in IT Support ·
Thanks to everyone for all the feedback!👍
Laptop USB port replacement/repair help in IT Support ·
Hey everyone!

I’m looking for some advice or recommendations. Basically, the USB port on my laptop has gotten pretty loose—the mouse plug just wobbles around in there and keeps losing connection.

Do you think the only fix is replacing the actual USB port on the motherboard? If so, any idea what kind of damage I'm looking at financially? Also, does anyone know a reliable repair shop in the West Coast area you'd recommend?

Thanks so much!🙂
