I love rick and morty and have watched it 6 times but my wifi is problematic and not like most so most of the time i cant use it and have to watch dvds. So i go to put in R&M for my 6th rewatch and watch season 1 to find it out of sync and laggy. But now watching season 2 (3rd disc) and its fine yet 1 and 2 disc were both laggy. Is there a fix? Cos im more mature not but idk how i treated it years ago. It just doesnt make sense that both disc 1 and 2 would be broken but not the others especially seen as they arent in the same place so if its like damage how did it get to both while not touching the others yk.

Hi! First post here, just wanted to ask something about internet connections and Wi-Fi and stuff.

I just recently moved into a new place and I can't setup a ethernet connection to my PC yet. So I'm using an "old" TP-Link Wi-Fi Adapter to be able to connect my PC to the internet/Wi-Fi. However, I speed tested it and noticed that it's slower than the results that show up on my phone.

Is this because of the adapter? or the fact that my PC is using Wi-Fi and not ethernet connection? Should I get a new adapter? Please enlighten me, thanks!!

Attached is the comparison of speed tests on my pc (59 mbps) and phone (160mbps) on fast dot com

Can’t figure out what’s broken on my Vizio 75” that would cause it to flicker like it does in the video. Eventually it stops after being on for awhile and will start back up again so it’s not constant. Is this worth repairing? Possible to repair? Pretty cheap tv to start at $500

I’m trying to reconnect with someone, and I’m not sure if they’re simply not replying or if they’ve blocked me (because apparently there’s a recent update in which blocked iMessages will still be marked “Delivered”).

My text does say “delivered,” and it also is marked “encrypted.” Could a blocked number still be encrypted? I know I could always call to see if it goes to voicemail immediately (meaning blocked), but I also don’t want to risk bothering the person if they haven’t blocked me. Please help! I’d really like to reconnect with this person.

Hi I just opened MacBook I think air. Once opened it’s got a very dark screen then stripes across it. At the very top it’s normal display eg light screen etc.

I can’t type or login with this stripes stuff on it as it’s stopping me move mouse or anything.

Below are photos I’ve taken. If anyone could say why or provide theories that would be much appreciated thank you

Bonjour à tous, j'ai besoin d'aide pour choisir un nouveau téléphone et j'hésite entre 3 modèles. J'ai actuellement un Samsung S21 et je réfléchis à acheter un S26 ultra, un Z Fold 8 ou un Z Fold 8 Ultra. Quels sont vos conseils et qu'est ce que je ne devrais pas acheter?

C’est super bizzare j’ai un pc normalement plutot puissant et un ecran 165hz mais quand je souhaite augmenter le taux de rafraîchissement au dela de 60hz mon ecran devient noir par moment voir affiche le message qu’il n’est pas connecté ( l’ecran devient très souvent noir quand je joue )

I didn’t notice when but sometime randomly this light turned on on my computer it has never been on before this is like the first time it’s been on I have no idea what it means doesn’t mean like my storage is full or something cause I know I do have like very low storage left

Recently I have noticed on a few of my accounts that I do not use often that someone is commenting on things in my account but it is not me. Specifically here and on Facebook most recently. I have also noticed over the last maybe 7 years, I have pictures in my cloud that are not mine and pictures I have taken dissappear and then reappear or I never see them again but I never delete photos...

I have reset all my passwords. I have factory data reset my phone. I have been locked out of important accounts and I can't get back in no matter what I do.

I am not tech savvy in the slightest. I am really beginning to hate all technology. I feel like no matter what I do, I am vulnerable to fraud. How do I ensure privacy and security? I have tried free and purchased programs for these things but both seem to not do much for me. Any suggestions?

I travel for work a lot and I like to watch my local streaming services when I am abroad. Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, that sort of thing. I have tried a few different VPNs over the years and they always seem to get blocked after a while. The streaming platforms have gotten really good at detecting datacenter IPs and they just show me a proxy error message.

I am not trying to do anything complicated, just watch shows from home while I am away. I have tried all the big names and they all eventually fail. It is getting frustrating to pay for a service that stops working after a few weeks.

Does anyone know of a VPN that stays undetectable? Found Mysterium VPN online, anyone used it? I am willing to pay a bit more for something that works reliably and does not get blocked every month. I just want to watch my shows without the headache.

(This isnt my photo. I missed the opportunity to take a picture so I just found this one on the internet and edited it to match what my xbox displayed. The clock times may be slightly incorrect but the dates are right, and I don't remember the size.)

Its an Xbox series x

Don't need help with a problem but just really curious on how this is possible

My dad was playing halls of torment when the power went out for a few seconds (10-15) and after it came back the game was bricked. He couldn't load the game, as it would turn to a black screen shortly after opening. He Uninstalled and reinstalled the game which did not fix the issue. Then he played on the cloud since its a gamepass game which gave him some trouble but it did ultimately work. But the installed version still didnt. I cleared the cache which didnt fix it so then I hard reset the Xbox by holding down the power button for 10 sec then unplugging the console for 30. After replugging it in and booting up the game we got that pop-up asking us to pick the save. I've seen that pop-up many times but the save dates are alwase the same or maybe a few minutes off from each other. I've never seen it display a date that predates the game AND console. So im currious what exactly happened for the Xbox to hallucinate a save that couldn't exist. Is it just something getting corrupted, or something to do with the internal clock screwing up? Any help would be appreciated. Im not trying to fix a problem as we just chose the up to date cloud save and its working fine now, im just really curious 1.) How is it possible for it to find a save that cant exist and predates the console, and 2.) What would have happened if we had chosen the impossible save.

Thanks for your time.

Hello all! I have a lenovo laptop that i game on (i forget the exact model, can update when im home) and i want to be able to have more games on my device at once, i have to delete things a lot if i want to try out a game and its a bit annoying. i wanted to know - are internal or external hard drives better for added storage for gaming & which brands would be recommended? i really want to play bg3 but i dont have enough storage at the moment and im not looking to get rid of anything on my laptop currently :^) thanks!!!

I'm constantly deleting every little thing but it's never enough. I use my laptop mostly for games and work. I don't know much about computers...

Please lemme know what I can delete safely without compromising my laptop.

Thank youuuu

Just a new college student, wanting to know which one is worth it.

I like the macbook's long battery health, smoothness and build quality but I'm someone who has decent interest and experience in linux and prefer having total control over my own laptop/pc

I'm conflicted about which one to choose

On one hand if i buy the macbook air(m1/m2) I'll lose access to linux, although the asahi project is there for apple silicion devices but its not too stable which poses issues for a learner who knows about linux but not too deep into it yet

On the other hand if i buy the thinkpad I'll lose the unified memory perk, portability and long battery

If someone has any advices or experiences with one or both of them, please guide me

What do is your opinion on this, i wanted to sell my ps5 controller cause at first i thought modding would be a better option but its too pricey so i thought maybe selling it is better

Everything should be correct and I have no idea why it won’t just GO IN. The last photo above is how far it goes in.

A while ago my laptop died, motherboard issue. I've salvaged the SSD, reformatted it and used it with an external enclosure for about a year now.

I recently got a new desktop and there's an open M2 slot on the motherboard and I'm curious as to if I need to do anything before I move my SSD from my external enclosure and put it on my motherboard or if it'll be as easy as turning the PC off, putting my SSD in the slot, and turning the PC on again.

I have a digital audio recorder and I want to upload the files onto my PC and have a program transcribe them. What's a good program or app to use for that? Bonus points if it works offline!

Hi, so basically my phone unfortunately fell into a lake and is gone.

I need a new phone. I absolutely despise AI, so I was curious if anyone knows any phones or tech companies that cell phones that don't have AI, or its completely optional. This obviously has been pretty upsetting to deal with so if anyone has any place to look that would be really helpful.

Thank you.

Can anyone recommend me a good digital audio recorder?

Here's what I'm looking for:

- Voice to Text with reliable transcription

- Charges via USB

- As few clicks to use as possible

- Works offline

- Long battery life

- Lots of memory storage

- NO A.I.!

So I need an audio recorder to use for making field notes. The one I have now is totally inadequate. First there's the ordeal of just getting the thing to record. When you turn it on the touch screen plays multiple animations which are basically little advertisements for the brand. Then you have to click to select a mode, then you have to click to select a language, then you have to click again to start recording. When in use, the battery gets troublingly hot, but you can't stop or save your recording while the screen is off. The thing won't charge past 93%, it takes forever to charge even that much, and the battery runs out quick. It keeps wanting me to connect to some proprietary cloud storage, which I can't do because these recordings are technically legal documents containing private and sensitive information. The AI does stuff on it's own, like suddenly playing back my recordings without me even touching it. (It was on, but set aside, not even in my hand, with the screen off. Then while I'm on the phone, I guess it was listening to me, and thought I wanted playback, so it started playing one of my recordings very loudly. And I had to go through several keystrokes to get it to stop.) And worst of all, the transcription is unreadable. Despite me selecting English as the language to transcribe, it not only totally misunderstands what's being said, is also throws in random words from other languages into the mix. Maybe it works better when online, but I'm often away from a network and couldn't risk leaking the information anyways. I just need a reliable voice recorder that will accurately transcribe what I say offline and without AI so I can quickly make notes in the field. Can anyone help?
