    Instagram problem - can't view certain accounts

    The accounts Instagram won't show me I can see on all of my accounts except one, so the issue is definitely not that I've been blocked. (some of these accounts I can't see I've never interacted with)

    Instagram problem - can't view certain accounts

    I'm not sure that's the case. I don't think there can be a connection between multiple accounts, rather I think if you just log on to multiple accounts on the same device, Instagram will offer you the option of switching between them (as Facebook does), but it doesn't mean they're connected...

    Instagram problem - can't view certain accounts

    Bumping this because I still have this problem and really want to solve it. Since then, I've also noticed that these accounts that Instagram won't show me also don't show up in search results when I search for them. I've also tested this on a different browser and I get the same result.

    WIndows 10 How to search for a text string WITHIN a file?

    Is there a way to search for a specific word WITHIN a file, rather than in names of files. So, I would like to search all of c:\ for the word "test," is there a way to do that?

    Instagram problem - can't view certain accounts

    Yeah, I tried logging in and out, but the problem persists. Not sure what you mean by both accounts under the same account, I wasn't aware that that's possible. The accounts are registered under different email addresses.

    Instagram problem - can't view certain accounts

    I have two Instagram accounts and one works fine, but on another there are some accounts I can't view. Instagram gives me the following message: The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. I can view those accounts fine on my other account. These are not accounts...

    Looking for a reminder app with very specific features, can't find anything suitable

    But I need to be able to make multiple reminders and with a lot of text (a note) attached. Alarms usually don't offer those features.

    Looking for a reminder app with very specific features, can't find anything suitable

    I want an app that allows me to create a reminder for myself and set a time at which it will pop up on my screen and remind me. It sound simple, but you would be amazed by how difficult this is to find as most reminder apps seem to emphasize the listmaking and calendar overview of tasks, rather...

    msconfig->startup selection->"selective startup"?

    I was in msconfig and I noticed that in the general tab under startup selection instead of normal startup I have selective startup selected and I have "load system services" and "load startup items" selected, while "use original boot configuration" is not. I don't remember changing this, but I...

    How to download podcasts that don't offer the option?

    I seem to be a member of a tiny minority who prefer to download their podcasts and play them off the computer. Since so few people seem to download, most podcasters don't cater to us. Even when the platform offers the download option like Soundcloud, most podcasters don't enable it until I email...

    After the safe mode boot, I've restarted back into normal mode and now everything works fine.

    WIndows 10 Strange problem - almost nothing will run

    I just started Win in safe mode and there everything ran fine. Whatever program I opened it ran. So it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. I ran Malwarebytes and it found nothing.

    WIndows 10 Strange problem - almost nothing will run

    The long boot thing, it's been that way for ages, so if it is a problem it's not related to whatever's happened now. But I don't actually think it's indicative of a problem, I think it's just because I have an old computer, so it's slow to boot. The specs are: Athlon II X2 250 3Ghz 8GB DDR3...

    WIndows 10 Strange problem - almost nothing will run

    This happened while I was just browsing Firefox. Suddenly, Firefox would not load any new pages. I also couldn't run any audio files in VLC or open Paint or almost anything. I could open pictures and browse through them in Irfan View, though. I tried opening Brave browser instead, while FFox...

    Longevity of used phones

    But if I were to go with a used phone that has better specs (CPU and RAM-wise) than a new budget phone, presumably that would last longer than the new budget phone (setting aside that some apps would eventually not be supported by the old OS it's running).

    Longevity of used phones

    I need to buy a new phone and I'm in a dilemma between going for a new budget phone or a better, used phone. I'm fearful of used phones, because back around 2016/17 I bought a used Samsung Galaxy II and in about 2 years time the phone became slow to the point of unusability. It took like 15 sec...

    Need some general advice on what kind of monitor I should be looking for

    Yeah, I've seen people suggest that possibility and I'm open to it. I watch movies on the same display I use for my PC, so whatever I get would have to be usable by my PC, but I assume that is the case with most modern 4K TVs. Yeah, pixel pitch is pixel density and that's the only thing that...

    Need some general advice on what kind of monitor I should be looking for

    I don't play video games, the most important use of this monitor would be watching movies, apart from that I use it for typical desktop/internet browsing activity. I'm on a budget, so I'm looking to get off cheap here, say around $350-400. Now, I have a few questions: #1 How important is 4k...

    How can I retain formatting when copy/pasting from MS Wordpad to Google Docs?

    (EDIT: Mods, please delete, found the solution. I just had to remove paragraph spacing from the copied text inside Docs.) Does anyone know how I could copy paste text from MS Wordpad to Google Docs while retaining bolding, which gets lost in the process? I've tried going Wordpad->Word->Docs...

    GT 710 with 2 GB of DDR3 or 1 GB of DDR5?

    Which do you think is better? This GT 710 with 2 GB of DDR3 (64 bit) or this GT 710 with 1 GB of GDDR5 (32 bit) keeping in mind I don't game, but watch a lot of 1080p video and have 100s of tabs open at a time in Firefox. My computer: CPU: Athlon II X2 250 3.00 GHz MB: Don't know RAM: 8 GB DDR3
