Qubee posted:Is there a program you guys would recommend that lets me view my real-time bandwidth usage? I'm on a capped internet package and being able to see on the fly data of how much internet I'm using up / total usage so far would be a godsend helping me keep below the cap. That way I can figure out what activities use the most bandwidth and ease up on using them (probs Netflix, IIRC gaming is pretty low in terms of usage). If it’s just an individual windows machine than Glasswire is pretty good for this stuff https://www.glasswire.com/ If you have multiple devices you need to keep track of then you’ll need some sort of network device or router which makes things a bit more complicated.

It's kind of poo poo with history, though.

What's the fastest way to get rid of bug bites, especially chiggers? I'm getting better about preventing them (pulling pant legs up and spraying my legs directly) but I still get them. I use an anti-itch cream but still scratch when I'm half asleep. I was looking into one of those suction devices that's supposed to slurp out the poison or whatever, but there were enough scary reviews on Amazon to change my mind. Is there anything else I can do? I work outdoors and often have to get out in the woods or in tall grass.

It's not going to get RID of them, but this is the real deal stuff I used on the ambulance: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K690LA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works really drat well, but it's expensive.

I got some stuff called after bite at the grocery store and it works really well too. I’ve put it on mosquito and spider bites and you can’t even feel them.

Is there a name that show thread in TVIV? Alternatively, does anyone remember a 80s (I think) tv show that had a character (daughter I think) that they just wrote out in the second season or something. Just never mentioned her again.

TVTropes calls that “Chuck Cunningham Syndrome” and you may find your show browsing the live action examples there.

Is there a pest control thread (mainly for ants)? There are so many god drat ants in this house, and it's getting to the point where I wish they'd just hurry up and get in my eyes already so I don't have to constantly see them doing conga lines everywhere.

Besides walking short distances, what other exercises around the house can I do to reduce body fat whilst recovering from splints?

Nothing can reduce your body fat but eating less. Exercise is important for other reasons and you can try skipping, planks, pull-ups if you get one of those door jam pull-up bars. Pushups of course. My wife likes circuits on YouTube that get posted as HIIT despite the fact that they’re circuits, not HIIT at all! You might enjoy those.

Keyboard help, please! I think my dumb cat walked across my keyboard or something is a bit broken, because now certain keys are being replaced with other keys/symbols: Pressing the zero key on the top row becomes )@ but NOT the zero in number pad on the right side Pressing the right arrow key becomes g for some reason Pressing the top seven key also lowers the speaker volume Plus a bunch more random things like that Holding shift does NOT change the key from doing its error Weird poo poo like that. Tried restarting but no luck. Online searches are giving me tons of stuff that doesn't apply or help. It's a Roccat ISKU if it matters Edit: Also tried updating drivers Any advice? Thanks!

You may be using a different keyboard layout. On some French layouts, shift + 0 in the number row becomes @. If you are on windows 10, go to Settings -> Time and Language -> Language -> Keyboard to make sure that you are still using your preferred layout.

The ant saga signal was lit, hell yeah I love ants Alright, can you give some details on what ants are pestering you? Where do you live and how do they look, possibly with a photo of an ant, at best not too blurry? Do you have any idea where they are coming from and how the conga line is looking in terms or start and end point? You definitely have one or maybe several nests in or very close to your home plus they feel very motivated to invade, so they probably find plenty of food somewhere. All of those points need to be addressed else they will develop society and overthrow the government that is your house in no time.

Eclipse12 posted:My stupid cat chewing on my keyboard What's the name of this keyboard? Have you tried just unplugging it and pluggning it back in? Press literally every button on it once, this usually helps if something is stuck and the computer thinks it's held down. If you're on windows, on your lower right next to the clock and everything, is there a small box with two letters in caps? If so, what happens if you click them? Press alt+shift and see if that helps (these last two are ways to change keyboard language).

Eclipse12 posted:Keyboard help, please! I'm seconding people who say clean the keyboard. Keyboards often use a grid of circuitry to detect key presses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_matrix_circuit) so shorting or interrupting part of a circuit can really confuse a keyboard. If you don't want to do that stop by a second hand store like goodwill (and wear a mask!) and you can buy another keyboard for a dollar or two. If that's an issue a lot of people have spare old keyboards floating about that they don't use anymore and you can post on facebook or craigslist begging for an old one.
