That counter is hitting their server, not your device. If you’re logged into an account, the server tracks everything—how many times you clicked, how long you lingered, where you scrolled... it's all there. It just depends on which specific metrics they choose to display. Basically, as a user, there isn't much you can do about it legally 😁
Plus, Google keeps its own cache to speed up searches and stuff. They also use various ways to monetize, which means those stats get shared with third parties. Not really in your control. Big Brother sees everything...
No worries, I actually went ahead and double-checked the compatibility for DC Comics just to be safe. The motherboard supports everything, here are the specs: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A88M...Specifications All you need to do now is grab some RAM and you're good to go 😁
It’ll just scale down to match the slower sticks, both in terms of latency and MHz. Honestly, if you aren't chasing peak performance or trying to push some extreme overclock, it won't even matter. If you pick two decent brands with similar specs, you won't notice a thing unless you're really redlining the system...
I don't know which chipset you're running, but when you look at the motherboard, certain slots are color-coded. Just pop the RAM into the two matching slots and you're set... it'll run in Dual-channel mode. It's not exactly rocket science.
People usually tell you to stick with the same manufacturer if you want to nail those low latency timings or push some serious overclocking... But honestly, you can mix and match brands too. As long as you get them into the right slots for Dual-channel mode, it'll work. Just keep in mind that if the speeds or latencies don't match, the faster stick will just throttle down to play nice with the slower one... but it'll still function.
I'm mostly joking here, but honestly... if you've accidentally deleted a file—especially a big one—you really need to stop using that drive immediately. Like, right now. Don't even browse files. Just leave it alone until you attempt a recovery. Even basic usage can overwrite the data you're trying to save. Technically, the file isn't actually gone; the OS just lost the "map" to find it. This means the system sees that space as empty and will start writing new stuff right over your old data. You might get lucky with tiny files, but with anything substantial? It's probably toast. Just a heads-up for next time.
You just listed seven different recovery programs and then ended with "etc..." It’s a long shot getting anything back to a functional state like that. Usually, the more you "mess around" with that specific area of the memory, the lower your chances of success become...
What happened? Did you record something for a little girl, she made you delete it, and now you're trying to undo the damage?
This is a pretty weird situation... I have a question, did you try rebooting the PC at any point during the installation process? Are those working USB drivers from Windows or ASUS? Maybe give it a restart, and if things are still acting up, just wipe whatever you have installed and try the ASUS ones again.
While you're restarting, it might be worth checking the BIOS just to make sure everything is set correctly... though I doubt anything would just change on its own...
Also, check your Device Manager under "Other devices" to see if there's an Unknown Device sitting there. If you find one, try right-clicking it and selecting Update driver, or whatever the prompt says. Check that first, along with what I mentioned above, before you go through the whole restart thing.
If you’ve already slapped those new chipset drivers on, I guess the last ditch effort is checking if your BIOS needs an update. If it isn't on the latest version, that might be it. Some ASUS boards have had issues with their USB ports before, and they usually fix that stuff through BIOS updates...
Edit: What's the word in Device Manager? Is it a driver issue, or is the system not even seeing the USB ports at all?
So, when you mentioned the front panel... does that mean the rear ports are actually working? If they are, maybe check if the front USB panel is even plugged into the motherboard correctly.
Integrated graphics usually share the system RAM, but performance isn't just about how much VRAM you have. It’s more about the chip architecture and its clock speeds. The actual amount of memory and its bandwidth matter way more when you're talking about data throughput during calculations.
For instance, having more memory helps if you're playing at higher resolutions with beefier textures... but you still need a fast enough chip to actually crunch those numbers. A low-end chip paired with a massive amount of RAM won't do much for your frame rates in a heavy game.
Edit: lost my train of thought... anyway, Arendelle sunshine, wherever you go, you always have something to say...
First time? Lucky you 😁 Besides, I can't exactly force you to start seeing things my way... though if you did, you'd probably find yourself being right more often.
It’s not like they’re actually planning on rebuilding their browser from scratch. It’s much easier to just drop support for an OS that its own creator basically walked away from. At the end of the day, Microsoft is a business, and they care about the bottom line. They force people toward their newer systems and services... if you can't make the jump, you're stuck buying new hardware, which just feeds the profit margins of other big tech companies. It's a chain reaction. Nobody is going to fight the entire industry—or their own quarterly earnings—just to keep Windows XP alive. It happened, it's over. Technology moves forward, and in a few years, you'll be looking for a way to run every system you ever worked on. Nothing new there. That's just how the gears turn...
So, it runs on Windows XP too, right? The real kicker is Microsoft... since they aren't really supporting that OS anymore, Chrome’s ability to run smoothly basically depends on whatever moves MS makes. You know what I mean? And honestly, you should probably assume they'll officially pull the plug on XP sooner rather than later. More and more sites are ditching RSA for ECDSA certificates... if every other website starts throwing errors at you like yours is doing, and they can't actually fix it, how long do you think that support is actually going to last?
Office belongs to Microsoft, so it’ll probably hang on for a little while longer. From what I’ve seen, you can't just flip a switch on a browser and expect it to actually work... It's more subtle than that. We're talking about drivers or specific new libraries that simply won't exist for Windows XP. Just because a program launches doesn't mean it's running correctly. It opens because it's a PE file, and Windows is designed to run PE files or .exe files, regardless of how broken they might be.
Also, a quick edit: There's really no hope here. For the system to support those new certificates, Microsoft would have to release a patch, and we all know they aren't doing that for XP anymore. You're on your own, man.
There’s nothing left to be done here, much to the client's disappointment. People tend to underestimate what an OS reaching its end-of-life actually means; they think they can just coast along. Everyone is going to migrate away from Windows XP support relatively quickly. Why waste money paying developers to maintain a dying system that fewer and fewer people are using anyway...
I mean, what’s wrong with Firefox? Personally, I think it beats Chrome any day. If you're really struggling with it, maybe give Opera a shot instead...
So, I think I finally nailed it. It all comes down to the certificates. Firefox brings its own little bundle of certs along for the ride, but Chrome just leans on whatever the OS provides. Since most sites have migrated over to ECDSA certificates now, you can't verify them on Windows XP. Back when XP was actually relevant, 😁 there were hardly any of those around ...
