Do we still live in an age where the mere act of opening a spam email will infect your PC? Normally I ignore every spam letter I receive, but this one actually has my mom's entire name as the sender but the email address it came from is not hers. I'm pretty positive she got hacked or something, and I wanna check this particular email to see whats what. Also even if it was her legit email, she was on a plane when the email was sent out (which is why I can't call her and ask her about it)

Thanatosian posted:Outlook could be risky, but if you have a web login, you should be able to safely use that without a problem, provided it doesn't automatically download pictures or run scripts in emails (I know GMail doesn't). If you want to be double-safe, use a browser logged in from a sandbox (like Sandboxie). You could probably even open an email in Outlook running in a sandbox and be fine, but I'm not 100% confident in that. Thanks, I went through with it. No pictures or anything, apparently my mom visits a drug website (didn't click the link) and owns an iphone. Going to have her scan her laptop and change her email and her facebook passwords, its just weird that the sender used her entire name, even that stupid thing she does with her maiden last and her husband's last name.

Is there a program out there that can let me open and edit .docx files? I need to file an accident form with my job and they sent it as a .docx file, and they're off their loving nut if they think I'm going to throw down 100 bucks for something I'll never use outside of this situation.

I got my big rear end HD tv back that my family has been "taking care of" for 4 months. Of course they lost the loving power plug to the thing so I can't even USE it. Will it take any old power source or do I need some sort of official LG power plug for it?

Is there a free program or website out there that will allow me to punch in a beginning address then additional addresses and it'll list which address is closest to furthest? With my job I get a list of stores to do in a day and currently I'm punching in directions from my place to place A, then place B, till I get all the addresses down then I look at the map and see what blips are closest to furthest out. Surely there is a more streamlined way of doing this?

Is there a way to find out if you got a red light violation online for California residents? I made a really loving stupid decision, deciding gently caress my GPS for telling me to turn right cause it thought I was going the complete opposite direction I was going, then it saying "Oh no go left instead" so I decided gently caress it, I couldn't back up cause at that moment someone pulled up behind me to turn right so I pulled into the intersection and made a left... when the left light was red. And while there was no flash, and t here was no sign posted of PHOTO ENFORCED and there was none of those big box cameras on each corner of the intersection, there was this thing that looked like those security cameras you see at stores that get the full 360 degree view, so I think I was recorded. I just don't like surprises and I want to know NOW if I got a ticket rather then have it sit in the back of my head.

I'm replacing my motherboard, the thread in SH/SC forum suggests this. I currently use one of these. So two questions: 1: I notice one is 1155 socket, the other 1150. Does that mean all the parts I bought for the 1155 wont fit on the motherboard with 1150 socket? Or am I just reading the socket numbers wrong? 2: Would I need to install drivers or do a clean install replacing the motherboard or can I just replace it, turn on the PC and everything will be fine?

FreshFeesh posted:The socket refers to the CPU itself. You need to make sure your CPU socket matches or is compatible with your motherboard socket or you'll be out of luck. All other connectors (PCI, SATA, et cetera) should be compatible. Is there a way to find out if a CPU is compatible? Seems I'll have to buy a new CPU, I mean I may as well upgrade instead of doing a straight replacement (especially since replacing my current motherboard with the exact same one costs more then buying the newer one) Another dumb question: What is the best way to store old computer parts? I may as well hold onto these parts and later down the line when I replace everything build a second pc and give it to my little brother for school.

A while back I asked if I should do a fresh reinstall of my PC if I replaced the mobo + CPU, well in the end I didn't have to cause the GPU was my issue. This time though my motherboard did just die on me (At least, I'm confident that it did...), I'm going to replace it but my question is: Seeing that I can't actually get the PC to boot up to do the reinstall what're my options? Do I just go through and replace the mobo and cpu and then boot it up with the boot disc inside? What would happen if instead of doing the reinstall I just replaced the parts and ran it through to try and grab a few files before I wipe it?

Trastion posted:If your replacing it with the same motherboard then you will probably be fine. Also it depends on what your operating system is. Newer Microsoft stuff like Windows 7 and 8 are better at parts changing and it adapting. Not sure about the different *nix flavors out there. So at worst the system just wont boot, I'm not gonna brick the new board by attempting to boot it right? I'm not to worried about losing really important files (or maybe I just can't recall any and in like a week I'll remember something critically important was on the drive), its more of having to redownload everything again.

Is there a way to deny access to a router? Sometimes the extender I use just loses connection to the router, and to fix it requires rebooting the router. However there is sometimes an issue where a roomie is in the room with the router and gets all pissy cause you disconnect them by resetting it. So what I would do is reboot it through the router settings on my PC. But lately its like whenever that problem happens and I try to access the router settings it just never loads up. I can browse the internet just fine, but I just can't access the router. I've tried accessing it on 2 computers now and I can't get to it. I'm suspecting a roommate has figured out the router was being rebooted remotely and has made it so I can no longer access it remotely.

thrakkorzog posted:You might want to sit down and talk to your roommate and work out both your passive-aggressive tendencies. We are past passive aggressiveness, I'm just doing it remotely so I wont have to go out and deal with them. I have already forewarned people before I reset the router, I have brought up that I also pay my share of the internet, I told them that when this issue comes around everyone upstairs has to connect directly to the router which gives us the 56k experience. They don't care cause it inconveniences them. So instead of having to go out, tell them "Hey I'm having problems, I'm gonna reboot it. Dude, I pay my loving part of the internet bill, let me reboot. Its just going to be a drat minute, let me reboot it. I'm rebooting it, unless you're talking to your dying mother over skype its not that important" I do a remote reboot. The only solution is to move out, but I'm currently bound by a lease. But till then I need to know if its possible that someone is intentionally stopping connections to the router so I can bring it up to the superintendent. And it seems to be true, I'm gonna go ask the other people upstairs to write down when the net goes out and pin this one person who I think is doing it cause these problems always come up when he comes home from work.

I'm filing unemployment in california (3 weeks is long enough for my boss to actually update my territory so I can start working) and it wants my gross income from oct 2013 - dec 2013. I don't know why considering they used to go off your past 4 quarters but I don't have that information available to me. My pay register goes to Jan 2014, at best I can have a gross amount from my bank statements. What are my options here? I don't want to put the gross down then suddenly be criminally charged with fraud.

I washed my car recently and was offered this wash and wax solution from my brother's mother in law, it was something sort of like this. After washing my car I noticed this on all my windows and mirrors I can't get this crap off. I even washed the car 2 other times just using regular dish soap and again with nothing, just water and scrubbing really hard. We even got a magic eraser but that didn't help at all. What else can I do to get this stuff off?

They load (I think) and there's an empty space on the page where they should be, but about half the images on a page will be missing. Any idea what this could be? It only seems to happen intermittently. I think the latest versions of firefox has had display issues. Like if I switch between tabs/close a tab the result will be a screen with the previous tab overlayed onto the current tab and random bits of the current tab will show up. Maybe you're getting something similar to that?

DNova posted:I'm sitting here trying to replicate your experiment and I think that when I pull on my throat skin there seems to be a significantly lower amount of rubbing of whatever surfaces in my throat. Sore throat is caused by your immune system destroying infected epithelial cells in your throat, which is kind of like having your throat scraped raw. When you swallow you're moving all those raw parts against each other which hurts, so if you can prevent some of the rubbing you might feel less pain. Seems about right, everything rubbing up against each other. Certainly helps me in being able to eat without feeling like I'm in some jigsaw trap.

For example, do I need to take my lunch breaks before my 5th hour, do I need to take a 10 minute break every 4 hours, does my lunch have to be 30 minutes minimum..

I'm planning on building a new PC soon and will be selling off my current one to my brother. How many years should power sources and HDDs be replaced? I've had these parts since the end of 2012 on a frequently used PC. For posterity the RAM hasn't been replaced either if thats a concern. I don't wanna sell him this PC and then have the parts break down cause of age on him  E: I mean, I'm for sure gonna replace the power source with a more powerful one so if he decides to upgrade the PC he wont have to worry about voltage. I'm mainly worried if the HDD will die on him. Leal fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Nov 11, 2016 |
