Yuki Silly question: have you checked to see what input your monitor is on? Most of them have an input associated with each port/display cable connector in the back. If you plugged it into a different port, you might have to change the setting on the monitor so...

Yuki Do you happen to have your credit frozen? If not, the wiki on r/personalfinance on Reddit has some great information on immediate steps you can take, including links to the systems banks use like ChexSystems. Check out the "What to do immediately" section at...

Have you ever been fooled by the green (or reddish) CONTINUE button?

The Horse @TheHorse (218931) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Apr

On some of the websites I visit, I sometimes encounter an ad with a very large CONTINUE button in the middle of it. On my desktop, I quickly recognize it as an ad, and "x" out of it. But when my power was out, and I was on my...

Yuki Ugh, those continue buttons are awful, but the ones that really get to me are the ones that the advertisers put on recipe sites with text like "Jump to Recipe" on them... because those are often the ones that redirect to the scareware websites with the sirens...

Will Trump be able to make bond tomorrow?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119651) • United States 24 Mar

My guess is no. He claimed on Friday to have $500 million in cash but he lies about everything so there is absolutely no reason to believe him. He reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally doesn't want NY AG Letitia James to start seizing his...

It’s baby carrot day in the cafeteria

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119651) • United States 20 Mar

The custodians are going to be fit to be tied. The last time they served them it was hailing carrots. They were even throwing them at the custodian. An administrator had better show up and soon. 3 teachers are not...

Yuki I'm sorry. It seems entirely too many administrators simply don't carrot all unless things directly affect them. You just know that they would have already put an end to it if they'd been the one(s) pelted with carrots, not the custodian.

Are you fully prepared for the Eclipse on April 8th?

Melanie Marie @Melanie_Marie (1871) • New Baltimore, Michigan 20 Mar

Yuki It looks like totality is going to last for about four and a half minutes. If it's anything like the partial eclipse we saw a few months ago, I'd expect the whole thing to last around an hour to an hour and a half total. It's not the same sort of grey that...

How do you find your fit remote job?

Ully16 @Essegrape (108) • Indonesia 2 Feb

Hi everyone! If you're a mom of primary school children and your husband works in an office from morning to evening and then you feel bored spending time alone at home during the time, do you have some job to do from home? What...

Yuki A lot of companies hire helpdesk technicians to work remotely from home. Having the CompTIA A+ certification is a good way to get your foot in the door for that. It covers things like computer hardware, software, and troubleshooting procedures.

Yuki AnyDesk is one of those programs that we almost always remove from client's computers while we're working on. Most of the time when we ask the client if they use it regularly, they don't remember installing it, and it's so commonly used by scammers (along with...

A new scam for us Computer users

Toni LoCicero @BearArtistLady (6036) • United States 20 Dec

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119651) • United States 19 Dec

I've had one for about 5 years now. Mine is the Apple Watch 4 with cellular service. I absolutely love it but at this point it can barely hold a charge just to get through the day. I was thinking about buying a new one after I...

Yuki The ban is only affecting those models sold by Apple right now. Third party sellers like Best Buy will still have what stock is available, from my understanding, they just won't receive replenishments from Apple when they sell out. Probably best to get it...

How much are you willing to pay for a book?

E @Karusa (703) • Italy 3 Dec

I like to get my hands on the cheapest edition I can in the best condition at that price. If the words in the book are the same as a more expensive one, I’m getting a better value, in my opinion. Then if it’s a story that becomes...

Yuki For me, it all depends on the book. My current Kindle book wishlist on Amazon has about 70 titles on it last I counted. Most of those are older books that I've already read and/or own/used to own a physical copy of, so I'm not in a hurry to buy them. I...

Yuki It really depends. The biggest determining factor is if you can use a known device (one you've used to sign into your Google account before) to begin the recovery process. Ideally it will have been recently used to access the account, within a few months at...
