I admit, a bit of a strange thing to want to do. I have a 3 monitor setup but I can't see the left side of the leftmost monitor that I mostly use for discord because of a chunky microphone arm. Long term there is probably a better solution to this problem than disabling a piece of my monitor, but since it's fast and easy that's my temporary solution. I disabled scaling and applied a custom resolution and now have black bars on left and right side of the monitor. I would like to then offset the image to the right so that I don't have to waste monitor space on the right side where there is no arm in the way of the screen. Any help is appreciated! (No, there are no settings on my monitor OSD for this)

Currently looking at the HP Pavilion Aero 13 with a 5800U. It goes for 5800NOK(~580 Euro) and seems to have exceptional brightness for the price.

Hi, my girlfriend needs a laptop this autumn for studying (she doesn't a lot of performance, ram or storage). The top priority is high screen brightness for use in sunlight(around 400-600nits?). A decent keyboard and future-proof performance come next. I personally find choosing a laptop a living nightmare and was wondering if someone had chugged through the internet in search of something similar recently. It should ideally be 10'000NOK at most, which should (kind of) translate to ~1000EUR. Thanks in advance for any help!

I have some audio issues on my Motorola moto g8 power. The volume is basically always very low, low like it would be in a call. After a few minutes of video playback the audio suddenly goes to normal volume, and 5-10 seconds after that the video is auto-paused. When I resume the video the audio is low again. First noticed the problem with headphones, where they would occasionally go silent, somehow "disconnect" and pause(even though the headphones were still connected), and then it would play on built in speakers when the video started again. Reconnecting headphones worked, but only temporarily. I couldn't find anyone else with these issues. Any help is appreciated!

3DMARK timespy: score: 10337 grphics score: 10734 CPU score: 8550 CPU temps hovered around 50-55C in the first part of the test, before rising going between 50-70 degrees and maxing at 83 during CPU test. GPU was 55-76C the whole time, generally rising.

Do people usually reapply thermal paste? and only CPU? cause I really don't want to open my GPU. (I will launch and run 3Dmark while looking at temps)

So over the past few weeks/months my PC seems to have been crashing more often than it used to, however nothing so bad I did anything other than update drivers. Many of these crashes have been just freezing and not responding. The only thing I could do was hold the power button. Today, however, my PC froze once, and than twice over crashed in a way I have never seen before. The video signal was lost(screen went instantly black), the fans spun up to full speed, and even holding the power button did nothing whatsoever. I ended up just turning off my power supply. I'm starting to get worried, so I decided not to turn on my PC again before I've heard if anyone has seen this behavior before. The crashes seem to happen at random times; sometimes when running heavy games, light games, or just browsing. I have however been mining with the nicehash quickminer for maybe 2-3 weeks now. I mine 24/7 except for when gaming. I have a 2080 and a ryzen 7 2700x, in a P400s with the stock front panel with no airflow. I also only use the 2 stock fans for case cooling(replacements delayed by COVID ), so I suspect thermals and airflow are not great, however I'm not completely sure. Both of the mysterious "blackscreen" crashes happened after I started playing Liftoff(drone-sim), the most recent game I got. Also, the last of the "blackscreens" was while I was using bluestacks, which I just downloaded. I can't think of any hardware additions that happened within this timeframe. I have no idea why this would be happening, and I'm becoming worried for my PC. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Do they? I assume it differs from drone to drone but I couldn't find a specific search term of spec that could easily seperate them. I Have an oculus quest and was thinking it would be pretty cool to get an fpv drone, but I imagine it won't be that immersive if it's just a 2D image with no depth stuck to your face. Also I saw this video: and was thinking of going for either the $300 or $400 mark. Solid recommendation? (I live in Norway if that makes a difference). Any help appreciated!

I want everyone in a call to be set up certain commands in voicebot. Voicebot would be listening to Discord's output so people could mess with each other. Example: Your friend says drop and you drop your weapon. How can I make this work?

That actually seems quite viable. Thanks!

That's expensive IMO, not really looking to pay anything for this particular use case

Looking to have some software always running that will record discord and my own mic and save the last 30 seconds with the push of a shortcut key. I've tried OBS, but from what I can see it only outputs video files and I don't want that. Searching for audio clipping programs only results in complaints about the audio clipping, so... Any help appreciated!

Problem stated in title. When it opens, it instantly minimizes, and if I maximize it, same thing happens. If I launch without fullscreen, it's completely fine... until I turn on fullscreen. Anyone I could find either had a slightly different problem with it minizing every once in a while, or threads from 5 years ago with people using windows 7. Any help is appreciated!

Figured it out! Turns out all the lines in the logind.conf file are commented out, something I probably should have recognized, but I'm really only used to the // for comments. Anyways, changing this fixed it and the server now runs like a charm!

I checked the BIOS, but they seem very limited. Couldn't find the correct settings. Could it be that the BIOS have been intentionally limited, since this is a laptop? I couldn't find any "expert" or "advanced" mode either.
