Hi people, I got a pair of Sony WH1000XM5 headphones and I had a lot of problems with the touchpad. A lot of ghost inputs and Sony in their infinit wisdom didnt turn off the noise feedback on the touchpad even if you disable it in the app. I read a lot about it on Reddit that a bunch of people had the same issue and Sony couldn’t do anything to stop the ghost inputs. I love the headphones otherwise so I didn’t want to send them back. I opened them up and unplugged the ribbon cable of the touch pad. Now here is where I’m confused. The touchpad is just a sticker thing and I believe it reacts to heat. The issue is right underneath the touchpad is the battery of the headphones and they are just separated by a piece of styrofoam. Is this inadequate separation the problem? And if so how could this get cast QC at Sony? Isn’t this a major flaw? What are your thoughts? 

What nvidia mentioned is solid recommendation even on high end CPUs, 650-750W. Make sure that you get a solidly build PSU, a lot of PSU makers and ODMs are a bunch of liars that make a PSU that could deliver 650-750W, but not reliably. Check out PSU Tier List by cultists.network, anything B and above is a solid recommendation, with 5-15 year full replacement warranty range being preferable.

Actually the 65W is it's thermal output rating, not the actual power consumption.
 
Don't forget memory and storage. A basic system with the CPU, GPU, 2 sticks of memory, and one SSD is up to 488W.
 
There is a real risk overloading some PSU. I would not risk doing so unless I was sure the PSU had modern protections, particularly OCP.

You need to account for everything else in your PC that draws power. Motherboard, RAM, SSDs, hard drives, LEDs, fans, USB devices, all of it. If anything is overclocked at all, that will draw even more power.
 
With that said, you can install a 4070Ti into that system and it will work for a little bit, but you should absolutely expect your PC to shut down if you throw any half-serious load on that GPU.

In gaming maybe, but hes using blender which is much different.

Best we can do is tell you publicly known info
Look for the cmos/bios reset jumper

well, not really, if it is your "personal" laptop

I agree

My understanding of the way websites work is there are assets, and a bunch of code to say what to do with those assets.  Generally any hyperlinks are removed on conversion, making it impossible to do.  PDF isn’t the only way to save stuff though it is likely the only way you could print it.  Firefox used to have a save feature which more or less saved a file folder that included both the assets and the code seperately.  I don’t know if that would copy an entire site or not though. 

Hey, it worked
Thanks for help man, you saved my day. The font was "Kundli", installed it and it worked

I'm guessing this is an issue with the fonts then. Ask the person who you got this file from to send you the fonts. Usually they're some .ttf files, and you can open Windows settings(windows + i), search for fonts, and then drag and drop those .ttf files there, and it will install it. They try restarting Excel if it worked.

Was this document previously written in Hindi or something? Were there some fonts used that aren't installed on your system?

I want to say you should be careful of posting what appears to maybe be customers private info, but I'm not sure if that's gonna be an issue here. 
Honestly I'd check what format the original file was, might be an older version and not translating well. Might be a font issue, might just need to chat with microsoft support.

Basically, take what it cost you to make it and sell that. That includes the time and labor you spent plus any significant expenses on your part to get the job done. For comparison, take whatever you earn at your job and calculate the hourly wage you earn. Say your wage is $20 (just for illustration purposes), for 8 hours you've invested $160 of your time and effort, so that's what you should charge. Include any time spent on meetings about the product as well as any time spent demonstrating the result or teaching someone how to use it as well. If it's a one-off thing, you can leave it at that.
 
But if you intend to do this more often, you also need to consider all the other expenses attached to it. For example electricity. If your PC was using 300 W for the entire time it took to create, that's 2400 Wh. That's not significant enough to include in the bill for this one-time job because a kWh is a couple of cents in most places, but if you scale up the operation, you'll need to consider that. Same thing with other utilities as well as the rent you pay for your place. You're using your space not just to live but also as a place of work, therefore it's reasonable to also include that in your calculation. And last but not least, also consider any type of insurance or even pension funds if you want to do this full time. You don't need to break this down on the invoice, but simply keep that in mind. Also, since you're using your own PC for that, calculate the cost of the PC and for how long you might want to use it. That way, you know the rate of amortization of the equipment, which you can also include in your fees.
 
Basically, you need to make sure that everything that you've used in the process of making the product is somehow accounted for by the fee you're demanding, otherwise you're paying for that out of your own pocket. That's why the typical fee you pay for a contractor isn't just their wage, but also to pay for everything they used while they were doing the job you gave them.

For starters, most cheap audio codecs are rated for 1Vrms output, whether it's a phone, laptop, desktop, or USB dongle. The output qualities may differ greatly between different models, but the loudness of all of them, if they were used in the same circuit, would be similar.
 
The issue is probably almost entirely output impedance. Headphones get louder (and reproduce sound more neutrally) from sources with lower output impedances. Motherboards virtually always use 75Ω resistors on their headphone outputs, while many laptop makers user smaller values. Most phones omit the resistors, but will sometimes have additional current limiting which reduces their maximum output with low impedance headphones. With 24Ω headphones like you are using, this effect is magnified. For instance, assuming a 24Ω load with 102dB/1mW sensitivity (the specs on your headphones), and assuming a 1Vrms unloaded source in all devices, I calculate:
 
For output impedance ~1Ω (equivalent to many phones and dongles): 0.96V over headphones, and 38.4 mW power. For output impedance ~20Ω (equivalent to many laptops and some dongles): 0.545V over headphones, and 12.4 mW power. For output impedance ~75Ω (equivalent to most motherboards and some laptops): 0.242V over headphones, and 2.4 mW power. Using (dB SPL) =  (dB/1mW) + 10 * log10 (P) gives:
For ~1Ω, 118 dB SPL For ~20Ω, 113 dB SPL For ~75Ω, 106 dB SPL  
The audio capacitors on motherboards are usually used for power filtering only. Practically, they do nothing compared to normal non-audio capacitors and are just there for marketing purposes. Sometimes they are used for coupling the microphone input, which can improve distortion performance on the input, but has no effect on the output.
Laptop chips optimize for higher output and more efficient speaker amplification, since this has a significant effect on battery life and most users' experience. The headphone outputs are not similarly optimized (at least not to the extent that they are on desktop codecs).

CPUs are dumb in solving graphics, just like me, in solving math problems. GPUs are designed to be quick in solving graphics related problems, which are easy to solve but there are hell a lot of them, so GPUs have hell a lot of smaller cores. Buttt, GPUs are dumb in solving large problems which CPUs are good at, because they have fewer but more capable cores.

They are mostly the same, biggest difference IMHO is between ultra budget phones (50-100$) and all other phones heh.
No, but I strongly recommend following material design principles:

And using haptic feedback constants:

As noted, its more likely that PSU is the reason, not software. For software, motherboard doesn't really exist. Software doesn't make that kind of changes that would affect. It's not like with GPUs where drivers and software can have very direct effects. With motherboard, you are more likely to see issues with CPU, RAM and storage if the software would be the cause.
 
But with PSU constantly delivering power through at least 2 connections with mobo, much more likely to cause issues.

I'm running 3rd motherboard on it 😉

Yeah, its a generic one from china. But it works fine.

>$50 USD

They use parts with sufficient quality to meet the very limited requirements and expectations of the market they're aimed at. No more.
