You should probably just give the repair shop a call first—they'll let you know right away if they’re even willing to touch it.
I mean, you could technically crack it open and maybe add a tiny drop of oil to the moving parts inside... but I'm talking a literal drop, not dumping half a bottle in there. Another thing might be that something just vibrated loose, causing that squeaking sound. Or maybe some rubber seal wore down or popped out, so... yeah, who knows. If the techs tell you they won't take the job, then I guess you're stuck opening it up yourself.
If messing with the drivers doesn't do the trick—and if a clean install of Windows fails too—then we're looking at a hardware issue... likely a Wi-Fi chip that’s finally decided to give up the ghost. You might want to try picking up one of those tiny USB Wi-Fi dongles just to get back online. But honestly, just make sure it isn't a software headache first.
So, I’ve got this massive 50GB folder sitting on my hard drive, and for some reason, the system just won't let me touch the permissions... total nightmare. I actually managed to sneak around it using a diagnostic tool—managed to get in there and see all the files, and even grabbed ownership of the individual video files inside, so at least I can look at them now. But here’s the kicker: Windows Explorer is still being completely stubborn and won't let me view the actual folder itself. Since I finally have access to the contents, I just want to wipe the whole thing and be done with it, but even that's failing. I tried running Unlocker, but even that couldn't crack it...
Anyone got a recommendation on how to just kill this folder once and for all?
Does anyone know of an app—or maybe just some command line trick—that can reset an entire hard drive's permissions back to factory defaults? Like, making it look like I haven't touched a single thing... It’s driving me absolutely insane dealing with these nested subfolders and directories where I'm constantly getting "access denied" errors. I end up having to manually toggle permissions for every single little folder one by one, which is such a massive waste of time... Honestly, at this point, I feel like I might just have to migrate everything to a new drive and fix it all from scratch manually. I'd love to avoid that headache if possible, so if anyone knows a tool that can wipe and reset all permissions across folders, subfolders, files, etc., let me know.
We'll just have to wait and see how things play out... even the top-tier gear fails eventually. You should probably hang onto that other power supply for at least a few days—just enough to figure out if Seasonic is actually the culprit here. If the voltage stays low, then you've got your answer; it means Seasonic's gone unstable on you.
honestly, that sounds like a failing power supply to me. I've run into similar issues on a few different rigs over the years... just one of those things where the hardware decides it's done. My advice? Just grab a new PSU. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to play detective, pull one from an old spare build just to test the waters—you need to make sure it wasn't a power surge that fried more than just the unit itself... could be something else entirely...
I actually managed to get some studying done... finally. But honestly, everything’s still such a mess... I’m going to have to go back in and manually tweak some of these maps again. Just one thing after another... I don't know, I think I messed around with the settings ages ago—way back when—and now everything is just a complete disaster... totally cluttered up. How do I even get all this stuff back to the factory defaults??
So this is my E: drive I can't actually get into it—it's just stuck—but I can see some folder names popping up when I try messing around with the permissions... though, obviously, nothing changes and I'm still locked out.
Any ideas? Honestly, any help at all would be great, even if you're just guessing...
So, I went ahead and did a fresh install of Windows 10 about two months ago—same old account, same email and password as before... I honestly thought my hard drive had finally kicked the bucket, but maybe that’s just being pessimistic... could be a permissions issue instead.
Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can actually get back into my files??? It won't let me grant myself access to the drive or change any permissions... it's just stuck. Any ideas on what I should do?
I’ve been sitting here chewing on a pretty heavy question, just wondering... What’s the actual life expectancy for people with Asthma? Like, how long do we usually last—and I’m talking about those of us who have been dealing with this since we were kids. I heard about someone once—didn't know them personally, obviously—who passed away in their 40s. They had asthma, but they were also carrying a bit of extra weight too...
I’m telling you, Windows just completely trashed everything
Look, you could always head over to the manufacturer’s site—or just hit up their official forums—and ask them directly. There might be a newer driver floating around out there, or at least some specific instructions on how to patch this mess up.
If that doesn't work... well, then you’re looking at a full OS reinstall and starting from scratch with all your apps.
Or, if you aren't in the mood to wait around and actually need to get work done, just buy a new one.
Anyway, there are actually more natural ways to handle this kind of stuff... Like living by the coast or up in the mountains. On my first day of vacation, I felt like I really needed my Ventolin, but I hadn't brought it with me—so the doctor told me to just hang tight and let the sea air settle things down. She was right, honestly. After that, I didn't even need it once we got back from the beach, at least not right away. The problem is, I can only manage about 10 days of vacation max, but I read online that if you want it to actually do something for your lungs, you need to be out there for months. You know, to stop the breathing issues from coming back constantly.
I can't quite remember my exact allergy percentages or whatever. I know it's dust, feathers, pollen—I think—dust mites, and some other stuff I can't recall... I had testing done when I was a kid, but I'm 29 now.
As for sports, I'm definitely not built for the high-intensity stuff that leaves you winded instantly. Like running, for example. But trekking or steady, easy cycling? That’s fine. When I'm at the coast, I absolutely love hiking—just walking. There are plenty of jerks at the beach, sure, and lots of steep stone steps, but I handle them without any trouble. With enough motivation, I could probably do it for hours... 🙂 In a way, it works for me—good for the head, the body, and probably the lungs too. 🙂
Regarding meds, I mostly just use Ventolin as needed. Usually at night—it has a way of waking me up because I can't sleep when my breathing gets heavy. I was prescribed Qvar, where I take two puffs every single day until the canister is empty, and after that, I don't run into breathing problems nearly as often.
So, how’s the computer connected? Are we talking Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable? If you're on a cable, try swapping the ports on the router—if it’s plugged into the first one, move it to the second or third... sometimes those ports just act up.
If that doesn't do the trick, just call Comcast and tell them the router is being a total pain. When the technician actually shows up, tell him you want someone else sent out—tell him this specific unit is being temperamental and comes and goes whenever it feels like it.
If you’re feeling adventurous, just pop the thing open and take a look at the opening mechanism—see how it actually works... maybe there's something you can tighten up or tweak manually. If it's totally shot? Well, just buy a new one.
looks like there might be a short or a bad connection somewhere. You could probably just pop the cover off and swap them around... see if that fixes it.
A friend of mine—currently between jobs, so money is tight—just had her laptop kick the bucket. She’s thinking about picking up a new laptop down the road, but I told her she’d be much better off just putting that cash toward a desktop... you know, because being able to actually service things long-term pays off eventually.
She isn't a gamer or anything, but she needs to run Photoshop and the rest of the Adobe suite smoothly without the system choking. Beyond that, it’s mostly just multimedia stuff—streaming movies, music, browsing the web... the usual. Can you guys put together a budget-friendly build for her? No need for a monitor included in the main list, though if you could suggest a cheap LCD—maybe something small like a 17" or whatever—that wouldn't hurt.
I don't really deal with any of that personally, but I was browsing through some movies recently, like
50 First Dates http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343660/?ref_=nv_sr_1 It's about this girl who gets into an accident—basically hits a part of her brain responsible for forming new memories. She remembers everything up until the crash, but anything new just... doesn't stick. So, every single morning she wakes up thinking it’s Sunday, completely unaware that anything even happened... Anyway, it’s a romance, mostly showing how the guy tries to win her over and how they eventually work things out. He actually makes her a video tape to show her what happened, what she missed, and all the good stuff she can't remember...
There's another one similar to it Remember Sunday http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2770480/?ref_=nv_sr_1 In that one, you've got a guy dealing with memory loss—pretty similar vibe to the first movie, just a different spin on the story...
The Vow http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606389/ A couple gets into a wreck, and the woman loses at least fifteen years of her memory, so she has to basically relearn everything and get to know her own surroundings all over again. It's hardest on her husband, though... because she doesn't love him anymore—to her, he's just a stranger. Luckily, it has a happy ending🙂
I don't want to go totally off-topic since this isn't really a thread for movies or shows—it's supposed to be about health—but apparently, one of those films was based on a true story about a woman who actually went through it. As for the first two, I'm not entirely sure... nothing really says. Does anything like this happen here in the States? If so, maybe someone could share their experiences... if you actually know anyone going through something similar...
