    Stripped laptop screw how to remove

    This is probably a tiny phillips screw, too small for an EZ-Out. There's probably some thread locker on the screw, try heating up the screw with a pencil torch or soldering iron to soften the thread locker, you want to get it up to 200-250 degrees F, not hot enough to melt the plastic...

    Question TP-Link M9 is it the best mesh network for $170?

    If you're going to run an ethernet backhaul I'd purchase a few less expensive wireless access points (or wifi routers with the DHCP server turned off) and a good router. To my knowledge the benefit of a mesh network is that the access points communicate with each other wirelessly, if you are...

    Question Looks like I need to (re)design my home network...

    When I read the marketing literature for mesh equipment I understand it is meant for households where: 1. Every device is wireless 2. Internet speeds don't exceed ~100mbps 3. Devices don't directly share data with other devices (other than maybe a printer) I'd quit messing around with the mesh...

    Question Win10 laptop can't find network printer

    I can't believe in 2020 printing issues are still a problem, I had issues with windows 10 and a HP laserjet, I'd originally setup the printer connected to USB, but eventually ran some more cable and bought a network switch so I could connect the printer via ethernet. I couldn't find the printer...

    2001 GMC savana AFTERMARKET RADIO NOT WORKING

    The radio needs power from the ignition wire, if the red wire doesn't have +12v with the ignition on then that's your problem. You can jumper the red wire to any +12v wire (ie the yellow wire) and the radio should turn on. Once you've confirmed the radio works with constant power to the red...

    SUV Recommendations?

    Chevy Suburbans are a body on frame but available with a RWD drivetrain, the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) had a unibody but had a real 4x4 transfer case (also available as RWD). I don't think anybody would argue a Suburban or Cherokee isn't an SUV. I believe Ford currently considers the Explorer a SUV...

    Article AMD Radeon GPU Drivers Reportedly Still A Mess – Black Screens, Stuttering, Flickering, Inconsistent Clocks & More

    I have a RX 5700 in a recently built system, it's the first AMD card I've had since a 3D Rage card circa 2000, I'm not an Nvidia fan boy, but the last several graphics cards I've bought have been Nvidia simply because at the time they represented the best value (the newest being a GTX460 I...

    Question Is my NVME drive corrupted? All I did was move cases!!!

    It could be the M.2 drive is slower because it is sharing bandwidth with the graphics card or SATA port. From the manual: Also the recommended slot for a single graphics card is the grey slot, you may not be getting full performance from your graphics card in the other slot, although it is...

    Question complete - best cpu is 2200 even after 3+ years... slow industry apparently, and 1600 if going for discrete gpu

    You asked 1 person who knows a lot and they said 2200g is the best. If you believe this person has more experience and knowledge than you, why don't you believe the answer you were given? Many answers have been given but you judge the responses as uneducated and incorrect, as if you already...

    Bizarre trans/ECM (?) issue

    I've had issues similar to what you describe when the battery and/or charging system is bad. My guess is the alternator is beginning to fail and doesn't charge the battery at low RPM, as the battery voltage begins to sag the various sensors go out of range and the computers go on the fritz...

    Upgrading chef's knife

    I have a Shun Nakiri that is great for vegetables. Henkels and Wustof make good quality knives, I don't know that I could argue Shun knives are better, they are a lot prettier knives if that matters to you. Japanese knives tend to slice through foods with less effort and feel sharper than...

    2008 mazda 3

    Was there white smoke from the exhaust fogging the road before the engine stopped, is the coolant level low? If the answer is yes, you most likely have a bad intake manifold gasket or blown head gasket, or possibly something much worse. None of these problems are quick fixes, definitely have a...

    Observing Middle Aged Americans Purchasing Food.

    PC wont switch on for a while after powering down

    It's a pretty bold statement to recommend swapping out the PSU before doing any other diagnostics. A paper clip or small piece of wire cost almost nothing and can confirm the PSU is or is not the problem before spending $50 on a new PSU. Even the hassle of removing the PSU from another...

    Ryzen or ? laptop recommendation

    can audio output ever be 100% accurate?

    Recorded audio will never be 100% accurate because stereo is nothing more than an illusion, in a live performance the source is a single point (ie the bell of an instrument or the lips of a vocalist,) or several points (for example in a symphony or pipe organ,) a pair of speakers can't produce...

    Vintage receiver, vintage speakers, or both?

    Just buy whatever you think sounds good, after all you're the one who has to listen to it. Audiophiles who buy thousand dollar cables, or bags of colored pebbles or color the edges of their CDs with a green sharpie do it because to them it sounds better, (and so they can ruffle feathers on...

    2 Amps connected to 1 Pair of speakers

    Cheap options for fixing power window switch housing

    Call a couple body shops, they might be able to get a hold of one for you. It's probably going to be a junkyard item though. In my experience adhesives don't adhere well to ABS/Polycarbonate blends.

    Help me rent a car in San Fran

    Get the sedan, you're not going to be driving any epic roads in rush hour traffic, PCH is neat, but only because of the ocean views, the corners tend to be long and broad, even 10-15mph over the speed limit it's not going to be much more fun in a sport coupe than in an econobox sedan.

    why is HD Radio so darn expensive? is it worth it?

    Vizio TV can't control volume to TOSLink?

    It's pretty typical for a line out of any flavor to be at a fixed volume rather the interface is toslink, spdif, RCA, TRS, XLR, or something else, that's just the way it is with audio. Any device that can vary the volume of the signal would be an exception. The only way to control the volume...

    stupid question but where is "system -> administration"

    I haven't used XFCE in a while, but with other DEs if you right click on the menu and there should be an option to modify the appearance of the menu, there is typically an option to show or hide certain menu items. It's possible the system administration item is hidden for some reason.

    Deciding on a Processor With or Without Intel Clear Video HD Technology

I know the celeron processors support HDMI and DVI monitors without Clear Video HD support, so I'm not sure...

    bookshelf speakers with excellent mids and highs.

    I'd guess the speakers that cost in the 95 percentile are the ones that will be best. If you're into DIY it's a lot easier to find speakers that are built for a certain sound and they typically cost a lot less, as long as you ignore the cost of all the new tools you're going to have to buy.
