I believe some of you here are familiar with "DLC Boot" (http://dlcboot.com/).
I've noticed that it's a really great tool, but I'm having trouble using it for some specific things, like putting a Windows ISO inside it to format.
Is anyone else more familiar with it?
I see it for about 200, is that a good deal?

I recently built myself a PC with the help of some friends so everything is modern and good all parts. I built the PC and all was well I was able to run any game I wanted too while maintaining good WiFi. A week went by then all of a sudden anytime i would be doing task heavy things such as being in a discord call and trying to even launch a game the little WiFi icon on discord would jump to red and then the game wouldn't even connect to WiFi. In some cases when i did get into games my discord would lag me out so i couldn't hear anyone and i would have to manually reconnect also i would get disconnected from in game. I am able to be in a discord call used blender with heavy renders and not lag whatsoever also browse the internet just fine no lagging pages or anything. I asked my roommates if the WiFi been acting up they said no I tried to see if my hot spot would fix it and it didn't it appeared that it was local to my PC
Ive tried updating network drivers gpu drivers restarting my pc and its to no use. Please help

Hi everyone I have a problem with Blade & Sorcery after upgrading my graphics card (now I have an RTX 2070 Super, I use a Quest 3 and plus I have the Meta Quest Link App with the viewer set to 90 Hz), the game before never gave me problems even if I had a worse graphics card.
All other games run smoothly, only with B&S does this happen to me no matter how much I change the graphics:
When moving in game the left eye shows a transparent L-shaped outline with the rendering not matching the right eye, basically there is a line on the left side of the view, it only disappears if you stand still but if you move it reappears and alters the view to the left.
I don't think the cable connection is damaged and I even tried deleting the game data but it didn't help.
Important note, with SteamVR I don't have this problem but I use OpenComposite for performance and network reasons, to make it work I had to replace the file “openvr_api” (from the folder “steamapps\common\Blade & SorceryBladeAndSorcery_Data\Plugins\x86_64”) with openvr_api from OpenComposite, I hope this helps to solve the problem.

Hi all, not sure if this is the right space to ask so apologies if not.
I'm working in IT and myself and others have over a dozen or so programmes we use regularly but also have others that we use infrequently and end up being locked out as they havent been used in a while.
I'm wondering if there is a software or something that can be used that automatically logs into these systems (and closes the window after) so people aren't getting locked out or any easy way to keep track of each one and their status.
Thanks
Too add further complications, my work PC (windows) does not allow Bluetooth connectivity for cyber security reasons, so I would need to connect to it via a USB dongle, which I am happy to leave plugged into the PC.
My personal MacBook only has USB C ports, which I don’t want to clutter with receivers - so I’m looking for a Bluetooth connection for this.
Ideally I’d like a set up which works fairly seamlessly, but not sure where to start looking! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! My budget is around £100
Thanks in advance!
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said practical quantum computers are as much as 30 years away but he is hiring quantum engineers now.
What's going on? Is NVIDIA secretly working on QCs to dominate the quantum industry?
so i did a benchmark test (lmk if this shit was a virus or not) and it says that i might have some problems with my computer? i have noticed that my computer has progressively performing worse and worse but i might just be delustional
Hi! I've got a t480 thinkpad, mid age laptop, and three spare old monitors, these 17'' flat office ones.
I want to connect them.
At first my thought was: fine, one goes via hdmi, the other via vga, an d you buy a usb - vga/hdmi adaptor and you use the usb port in the laptop to give life to the third monitor.
But does it make sense?
I am profoundly lost as you see. Anything would be welcome. Thank you!
Have a odd thing going. I have had this mouse jiggler plugged in the usb from amazon for over a year, no issue. New issue is, if I unplugg it, screen time out never happens. If I create a zoom window to watch the mouse cursor, it is not moving... happens both on a pc desktop and Dell lap top. Company owned decives, only reason I got the jiggler was because I got so sick of my screen lock out activating every one minute of no activity. It's all restricted so I can't change any of those settings, therefore the mouse jig.
I want to buy this and install some specs to change it up and use for proggramming
im not looking for a thinkpad i want a cheap slick laptop like this so can one help with it
I've been told that a VPN is not necessary for my home computer which is on my household (Hotwire) secure internet service. I find that some websites will not connect, and others are asking "if it's really me" etc. It's a minor nuisance.
Hi. I'm away travelling with only access to my phone (a galaxy s22+). There is an engineering software called TEDD's that I use when I am back at home on my PC.
This software is basically a glorified excel spread sheet with a bunch of preloaded calculations. Would it be possible for me to download a (c r a c k e d) version of this and run it on my phone?
My brother's PC has been experiencing an error where there is a black screen and an underscore when booting. The PC won't boot and the keyboard won't turn on.
We have tried making sure all the connections are in, swapping the GPU (swapped from a 2060 to a 1660), and booting into bios (it wouldn't due to the keyboard not turning on).
Any suggestions on a quick fix would be appreciated
Hi,first time post,looking for some help. I have installed mikrotik lhgg lte6 outdoor router, to replace very poor signal indoor with Gigacube. All seems good, except hp printer can't connect to network now.Reason being ,it apparently needs to have MAC address filtering turned off, or its MAC address added to list of permitted devices. I have looked on the router OS but can see no obvious way of doing this. I am at the limit of my computer knowledge. Any help greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year To All.

Hi, I’m currently doing a byte to byte back up of a corrupted sea gate hard drive, using disk drill. The said hard drive is 500 gb and it’s full of data that I’m trying to recover. It’s been doing this for 8 days now and last night it should have finished but it’s went from GB to MB, which says it’ll take two years to complete. My question is, do I cancel the process and scan the back up image that I’ve got so far? Or if I cancel the process, will I loose everything?? Because I’m not going to wait two years, it’s just not possible lol Thank you for any help.
I desperately need to recover some video files, below I am going to explain what I did and how they were lost
It turns out that I want to transfer some videos from my cell phone to the computer, so I connect the cell phone with the charger to the computer. I look for the files, cut and paste them into a folder on my computer.
Then, I wanted to change the file names according to their recording date. then I do control Z many times so that the files return to the cell phone (at that moment I thought it would be easier to see what date the gallery showed)
Now it turns out that the videos disappeared. They are neither in the folder where I pasted them, nor in the cell phone folder, nor in the cell phone gallery.
Right now I don't know what else to do. I'm trying a recuva search. but I don't know what to do if they don't appear. Does anyone know what I can do? I'm also going to try a file recovery app on my phone, but right now I need help. Maybe with the details I gave them they will find what to do, I don't know.
Planned on getting this SSD for more storage and *maybe* better gaming performance. I was just wondering if this is good or I should get something else. https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Technology-Intelligent-Turbowrite-MZ-V9S1T0B/dp/B0DHLFWBQ1?ie=UTF8&th=1
Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask. I'm a final year student in computing and need advice on what to do for my project. I'm not overly passionate about my degree but I'm find myself interested in some of the aspects of it.
Programming is part of the degree but it only accounts for 25% of the total marks so it's more about the report rather than the actual product.
Currently, I'm thinking of making an IMS (inventory management system) for a small business or A webpage that helps in general diagnosing for pets whose owners cant bring to vet due to various reasons. Are any of those ideas any good or should I keep brainstorming? I'm open for suggestions
Thanks :)
