macOS is just throwing out that 169.254.x.x address on its own—that's basically a dead end. The other one is being handed out dynamically, which makes manual entry a total pain since you’d have to guess a valid, available IP. Might be a bit of a bottleneck with the campus Wi-Fi if everyone's logged on at once and there aren't enough addresses to go around... For the real details, just hit up the university IT guys.
Could be anything, really. Most likely just a driver issue though... grab the latest version straight from their site, wipe the old one out of Device Manager, reboot, and then run the new installer.
Looks like a GPU driver issue to me. Go ahead and check Device Manager... see if there's an error icon next to the card. While you're at it, let me know exactly which graphics card you're running and the driver version.
I don't think it's possible. You'd basically have to rewrite the entire graphics driver from scratch. Think you can pull that off? Probably not... just grab a different monitor and call it a day.
Regarding those washed-out icons on the Disk Archive, those are system files. Don't touch them under any circumstances. One points to where deleted stuff goes and the other holds the partition data. You mess with that and you might end up wiping the entire drive, every single partition... that's why they hide it.
Nah, banning IPs is a lost cause. Most of them rotate every 24 hours anyway, so by tomorrow, one of us might be stuck with that exact same address. Even if we’re talking about a static IP—like one leased for a specific business purpose—it’s still impossible. You could have 50 different people hitting the site from a single IP at a library, a Starbucks, or a college dorm... it just doesn't work. The only thing I've come up with is using a cookie or a registry note. That might stop some of the less tech-savvy users from running clones, since creating one would require admin approval. But honestly, that's up to the dev team behind this site...
Ever since he showed up about ten days ago, things have been moving... we got the emojis back, updated the rules for certain PDFs, and fixed a bunch of small stuff. If he sticks around, we could probably knock out more in the next couple weeks. A lot of us here actually know our way around these systems since we use them all the time anyway. ☕
Double check that you're running on an NTFS file system. Right-click "This PC," hit properties, and look under the general tab. If it doesn't say NTFS, you won't be able to save anything over 2GB. Also, that unpacking error usually means the download didn't actually finish... hope that helps.
Here's what Google says. Assuming you can read English, if it's not working, the file probably didn't download completely. Or maybe it was just a bad upload from the start...
If the legit apps are running fine, then you know where the issue lies. Just grab a free game—make sure it’s the official version—and give it a shot. Maybe try one of these...
