Is it actually possible for a drive to skip USB 3.0 entirely? I once had a drive labeled as "USB 3.0" only to find out the actual port and the hardware inside the enclosure were stuck on USB 2.0 speeds 😢
Depends on how you look at it. I usually just use clipconverter.cc and it works fine for me. Just double-check your downloader settings; some of those "free" ones will cap you at 480p unless you cough up the cash.
Try using a different PC and make sure both cables are actually plugged in. I had a total meltdown when I bought a generic external drive enclosure from Best Buy once; one cable only had two wires for power while the other had all four for data and power.
Just picked up a 32GB SanDisk Ultra for me and my old man. Mine’s an older model while his is the SanDisk Cruzer Blade G2. Both fly on USB 3.0—hitting about 70MBs when I'm moving files—they've got that rubberized grip, and they come with a 5-year warranty all for roughly $67. If you think that's not enough, you can grab a 320GB portable hard drive for $133.
From what I gather, hitting "forget" just wipes any saved info for a specific Wi-Fi network, like your password. If the Wi-Fi signal is still there, it’ll show up in your list of available networks, but since you cleared the credentials, it'll ask you to type the password in again from scratch.
Robin Johnson said:I'm having an issue with Windows 7—I just can't change my desktop wallpaper. I can only pick solid colors, and it won't let me set any actual images. I've tried everything: stuff from the web, files on my PC, even my own photos, but nothing works. I've tried right-clicking the desktop to hit Personalize and going through the Control Panel to Change Desktop Background, but no luck... I follow all the steps, click "set as desktop background," and absolutely nothing happens.😢
The computer is brand new. I never had this issue back when I was using Windows XP, and I've been messing around with the desktop settings for a few days now trying to fix it. Any ideas?
Is there something else my PC might be missing?
If I remember correctly, isn't that what happens with unactivated versions of Windows?
Michael Ruiz4 said:I’d go with PowerISO. It’s free and easy. They even have a portable version if you don't feel like installing anything—just run the exe.
Was actually just about to suggest PowerISO myself. Fastest one out there, and you barely even notice it's running in the background.🙂
So, like the title says, I can snag an HD4650 (512MB DDR2, 64-bit, LP) for $33, and now I’m stuck. Should I grab that card or go for the pricier option ($90 is the starting price, and it might actually be slower)—an HD6450 (512MB, GDDR3)? From what I've seen in benchmarks, the HD4650 is clearly the better move, mostly just because it's only $33. I don't really care about whatever "new tech" the HD6450 claims to have; I just want to stop using integrated graphics.
I see some people complaining about their flash drives lagging while trying to watch movies. My advice? Read some reviews online before you go out and waste your money. For what it's worth, I've got an apacer ah321 (8GB) at home with 14/21 w/r speeds, and Full HD playback is smooth as silk. I also recently picked up an apacer ah322 (4GB) which doesn't lag either (13/19 w/r).
I measured those speeds by copying a 3.5GB photo file to and from the drive, using reviews I found on PCMag

It's got a few flaws. For example, the other day I was testing how Windows 2000 behaves on a newer rig (mine, actually) for a buddy. It ran beautifully on the resolution I wanted in VMware, but VirtualBox wouldn't even touch the installation for some reason I couldn't figure out. So, I took matters into my own hands and used Acronis to make a partition where I installed Windows 2000. Nothing worked—not even my USB keyboard. Bottom line: if you're going to try something, always assume everything will work fine on a virtual machine while it'll probably fail miserably in the real world.
As for testing different programs in AWS VPC, it's been alright 🙂
Though I have to admit, VirtualBox might be slightly better since it creates a fixed-size partition right away, whereas VMware just sets a limit and grows the file until it hits whatever cap the user set.

It's the quickest fix, and there's basically zero chance they'll realize Facebook is blocked that way. I had a buddy who actually wiped his entire hard drive because he couldn't get onto Facebook after I blocked it using that method 😁.
