  1. It's on windows11. My user is not an administrator so it blocks me from doing anything even taking a screenshot. Is there some method I don't know of to do that?
  2. I have a remote job with a company-provided computer, it is completely locked so I can't download anything. I need to move states but have my internet connection still appear as from my current state. Is there a semi easy way to accomplish this without being able to download a VPN on the computer?
  3. Hey, I'll make it brief. I'm 19 and I've been a pretty online person for most of my life. I would say I'm more technologically literate than about 80% of people, but ignorant when it comes to more advanced stuff. Security has never been something I cared much about bc I never did anything of importance on my PC. Fast forward I've started a successful business in the past year and I'm handling all of my bookkeeping, business records on my PC and regularly logging into all my financial institutions. Because I have something to lose now, I've started worrying about my cybersecurity more. I already have differing passwords across all my vital logins and use 2 step every time it's available. Like I said before I've been online most of my life so I'm not falling for sketchy links or anything like that either. Is there anything else I should or could be doing? I've heard the popular VPN's are scams, not sure if that's true or not. Looking for a little advice
  4. What i seem to be gathering is that if i update my bios i should be able to make it work for now, but long term i need to be looking at a motherboard thats not as much of a pos
  5. I like it my man, look like you need a bigger desk for all those monitors haha. Hope you get well soon
  6. In January i purchased a variety of new and used parts for a system, this included buying a whole prebuilt system used from a friend which i was only going to use for the case, PSU and motherboard. So i put the new cpu in (ryzen 5 3600) and absolutely nothing, black screen. But when i put the cpu which came with the prebuilt system in (ryzen 3 2300x) it boots right up and everything works great. This brought me to the decision i must have got a faulty CPU and since i didn't have another motherboard to test i exchanged it for a new one. This was a long process with newegg shipping but i got it in, take the ryzen 3 out and pop the new one in. Same thing. All fans spinning but input signal is dead. Am i doing something wrong? I researched the motherboard and i don't see any reason why the CPU change should be causing a problem. PSU is 500W btw
  7. Yes USB is visible and everything appears right. I used it on another machine like 2 weeks ago
  8. Esc key will let me access a screen to pick boot device but it doesn't see my USB. I also double checked that USB device boot is enabled, its just not seeing it
  9. I format it to NTFS and it still does the same thing. Am I doing something wrong with the format?
  10. So i was switching out my HP laptop's HDD with an SSD drive, while cloning the drive using Macrium Reflect the program stopped responding at 87% and i unplugged the drive from my laptop. When i boot with the SSD i'm met with blue screen ''Your PC/Device needs to be repaired'' ''Error code: 0xc000000e'', when i go into bios and try to boot from my USB drive with windows installed the screen flashes and it won't change boot device. Below is a screenshot of disk management, Disk 1 is the drive in question. I tried to do the clone again on Macrium and i'm met with ''Error 8'' ''clone failed''. What do I need to do moving forward, at this point i honestly don't care about the clone I just want to be able to boot from my USB and start new.
  11. Building a 4k PC rig for my buddy, never looked into the 4k monitor market before and its looking like i cant find anything name brand 4k-120hz-144hz for less than $1k. Are there any options i'm not seeing
  12. So I bought an iPhone 6 off eBay and made sure it was an AT&T phone, I even paid to have the IMEI checked. Out of the box it connects to wifi and works perfectly, in the data section it displayed ''No Service'' so i took the phone to my local AT&T store and went through the entire process of activating it and then the ''No Service'' changed to ''Searching'' the AT&T employee restarted the phone like 5 times and it still said ''Searching'' keep in mind I live in a large metropolitan area and I know that I have coverage everywhere around where I live, the employee told me that the only thing he could think of is that my antenna was broken, so I left the store without paying for anything. Here's where the weird part comes, about a week after i left the store the battery on the phone died, i plugged it up and when the phone came back on it showed full bars AT&T LTE, i could make phone calls and use cellular data, it worked for about two days and now its back to ''Searching''. Should i replace the antenna? i read other places it could be the sim card so i don't wanna fix things that aren't broken. Thanks for any help
