    Inexpensive non-pirated software?

    I think I screwed up...please help

    To be clear: You. Have. Been. Hacked. Stop screwing around with "what if..." and "could it be..." and start taking this seriously. Inform everyone that you had financial information from that you have been hacked and suggest they change any any all passwords for any and all accounts they had...

    I think I screwed up...please help

    The two small deposits were tests to make sure the account was real. That should have been an immediate red flag. Absolutely call everyone who had given their inormation to you asap - like today. Keeping them in the dark can potentially open you up to legal action being taken. Do not under any...

    cleaning?

    Alcohol on a microfiber cloth or or simply an alcohol swab is fine. Coffee filters also work great as they wont leave fibers behind. Spray onto the cloth and wipe vs spraying on screen.

    USB ports not working anymore

    You possibly either missed plugging something back in properly or damaged the USB controller. Double check all the PCB to PCB connections are secure (no wires, just little areas that click into place similar to a Lego).

    The Return of Voyagerfan99's Minecraft Server

    Yeah, this is nostalgic! Missed this and forgot how much work was put into it by folks. And does anyone have the coordinates for any MTS station? I was stupid and randomly set a spawn point for me someplace many thousands of blocks away and not ever sure which direction to start heading it. At...

    I have a computer with windows 7. What are my options?

    You can keep 7 after January 2020, it just won't update after that. Windows 8 was horrible, 8.1 made it function more like 7, and 10 took a lot of cues from 8.1. 10 is currently still free to upgrade to from anything after 7. In answer to your questions... 1: They will last as long the...

    If you copy from SD card to USB on computer is there any trace on computer?

    Can you still be able to recover the file on the original SD card? Probably. Will your computer log a "copied these files from one SD card to another, click here to see them"? No.

    How Much Longer Will My Phone Last Me

    As long as it's taken care of, it should last for a long time. Batteries will degrade with age and charge cycles, but as far as stuff just not working, it's rare. I've replaced charging ports and a board that had moisture on it and everything was good as new hardware wise. The S8 is sealed, but...

    Battery Life decrease on Pie 9.0?

    It does put them into a low power state, but the whole point of having them open is to have them instantly available, so there is still memory and some amount of CPU usage. Try closing them periodically throughout the day and/or doing an Optimize.

    Battery Life decrease on Pie 9.0?

    It's a reminder that you have apps open (not background ones, actually stuff you opened) that haven't been used in a while. I like to keep stuff closed when I'm not actively using them so I rarely get the message anymore, however when I leave stuff open all day and never go back after the...

    Battery Life decrease on Pie 9.0?

    Fwiw, I don't use the power save feature and since a 100% charge around 2pm today, I'm now sitting at 83, and that was with heavy Google Maps usage keeping the screen on for most of that time. Galaxy S9+ on Pie. I'll close apps when I'm not using them, but only use the Optimize feature maybe one...
