  1. I have lived through 100's of thunderstorms. It only takes that one bolt of lightning to strike you and fry your electronics. It has happened to me once before.
  2. I mean the cable wire that comes from outside and connects to the set top box. It carries the audio and video signal. Is it necessary to unplug that? Its a coaxial cable with copper core. I was wondering if that could carry the lightning and fry my set top box and TV. I am not talking about the electric sockets. I use surge protector for that.
  3. I have my TV and set top box connected to a surge protector. The cable tv wire connects to the set top box and the tv is connected to the set top box through rca cables. Is it necessary to unplug the cable tv wire or the surge protector is enough?
  4. Is it necessary to have same SSID for handover between 2 Wireless APs? Is it possible to have different SSIDs?
  5. Carbs is Carbs. In any form. You think starch is less harmful than sugar? They both get broken down to the same thing inside our body and excess of any of them causes same harm. Fat, carbs, glucose and cholesterol are all interchangable inside the body. Excess of consumption of fat or carbs cause the same harm.
  6. I pefer Kaspersky to Bitdefender. The one thing I hate about Bitdefender is that you cannot turn it completely off.
  7. No its not. We need carbs to stay alive. Excess sugar is bad. We dont need weed in any quantity.
  8. Smoking weed is bad. Smoking anything is bad for your lungs. "Studies have shown that small amounts of regular drinking can actually increase health outcomes over the long term." NO, JUST NO. People who don't understand studies bring up this point. 1. "But it is healthy in moderate amounts" No it is not. Alcohol in any quantity is poison to the body. Any quantity. It is the other anti-oxidants present in wine that is helpful. Not the alcohol itself. Alcohol has no health benefit. You can get these anti oxidants in other food too. Grapes being one of them. You dont HAVE to drink alcohol to get these benefits. 2. Another stupid thing people say: "Since the liver can remove alcohol, it means we are meant to drink alcohol" No we are not. During food digestion, when the food is present in the stomach for hours, the carbohydrates present in food ferments to produce small amount of alcohol. Even that small amount is so poisonous we have evolved to remove it immediately with our liver. Alcohol is poison to the body.
  9. Yeah, but it worked before the April Update. It was even recommended in the microsoft website. I used it all the time with Windows 10. I have tried several times now on different computers, in both GPT and MBR mode and can confirm it no longer works after April Update
  10. Yeah Rufus worked. I think Windows 7 USB/DVD tool is no longer supported.
  11. I have used it several times for years. This is the first time I am having this problem
  12. I downloaded the April Update iso using mcp tool. I am trying to write this image to a usb drive using dvd/usb tool but it is not booting from the drive. I tried in different computers but getting same result. The usb drive is 16gb Windows USB/DVD tool is formatting the drive to NTFS. Is that the problem? How do I solve it?
  13. If you have ever gotten the error "Access to doc-08-1g-docs.googleusercontent.com was denied" while downloading from Google Drive or gotten the error "You are not authorized to view this page" in general in Chrome, you may have learnt the solution is to clear the browsing data or cookies to fix the problem. That indeed does fix the problem but it does not really address why the error occurs in the first place. This error occurs when you are signed into more than one google account and trying to download something or access something from a NON PRIMARY google account. If the download link generated opens in another tab, then your PRIMARY google account is actually trying to open the link, which is why you get the "Not autorized error". It is a legitimate error because your primary google account is indeed not authorized to open another accounts links. This is the reason clearing browsing data or cookies fixes the problem as it logs you out of all the google accounts. The easiest way to fix it is by opening a Incognito window and download it there or making the account you are downloading from the primary account.
  14. Spotify allows users to download all the data they have collected on you. In this data, you have : 1. A file that contains names of all the songs in your library So if you ever lose access to your account or want to recreate your library on another streaming service, you can look up the names of the songs. 2.A file that contains names of all the playlist and their content in your library Again, if you want to back up all the playlist you have subscribed to, or want recreate your playlists on another streaming service, you can do so. 3. A FILE THAT CONTAINS THE NAME AND TIME OF EVERY SONG YOU HAVE EVER STREAMED! Want to know the name of the first song you streamed or when you streamed it? You can do it!

  20. I know google compresses large images but I have gigabytes of instagram photos and videos saved to google drive. Since they are downloaded from instagram, they are small sized and already compressed. Will those be further compressed. I have also uploaded gigbytes of 1080p, 720p and 480p youtube videos. I uploaded all these right now and as far as I can tell, nothing has been compressed yet. Everything on the google drive is same size as original. Will they be compressed in the future?
