Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

What is the easiest way to know if a charger block or USB C or micro USB is worth keeping?

I have accumulated quite a lot of wires and I don't think I need more than 10 of each category.
I once had 10 or so usb chargers that i didnt need. Made them hefker in a shul and they were taken in no time.

Anyone know of a way to transfer multiple notes in Apple Notes to a single document?
Quote from: TzviR on March 31, 2024, 08:43:04 PM
copy paste?
There are a few hundred notes, so hoping for a more efficient way.

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

How do I find out or change my Windows networking password?

I log into my desktop computer (Windows 10 Pro) using a PIN rather than a password, but when I want to use RDC or connect to shared network drives it won't accept that as a password, I need to find out (or change) the networking password for the user. How do I do that?

It's the same as your user password (not pin)

Possibly. Which creates additional questions, as I have a corporate account and a personal account.

I don't want EVERYTHING syncing with my OneDrive

Check in the settings, but it should be whatever the password there is IINM. I was always careful not to sign in with a Microsoft account, so not fully familiar. GIYF

To change a password in the Command Prompt, type "net user [username] [new password] and press "Enter.

Seems my SDHC card has a virus, it has some weird files with names like "USBC ¬N≈" and "╩;╪m╒ň<.76═" and more. Also a couple of folders with gibberish names. In addition, I'm missing about 250 pictures. Some of those gibberish files have very large file sizes which makes me wonder if they are hiding my pictures inside them. Any ideas how to try to get them back and clean it up? Windows Defender's deep scan didn't find any issues with the card.

my laptop and my desktop (both Windows). Though I haven't used the desktop since before this happened. I'm using a USB adapter if that makes any difference.
