    Electrical burn smell from desktop pc, then breaker blew

    It could be the storage drives went as well, or it could be the controller, or both. In the BIOS menu, if you go to the boot menu, what, if anything, is listed in the boot order? This is likely the best course at this point. Without a stock of parts to draw from and replace one at a time you...

    PC with no camera, want to use a laptop one & connect them

    Intel has a guide for doing a setup like this, though it does require a few extra things. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/dual-pc-streaming.html Whether any of this is supported purely through software, I have no idea, OBS might have a feature for it.

    How do QR codes work exactly?

    There are 2 versions, one is untracked, which is completely free, no signups. Just enter the data and save the resulting png. The sign in version will be similar to every paid version where you might get limited free use but expect to pay for use.

    How do QR codes work exactly?

    I suppose, but if you do not explicitly care about visits via the QR, only total visits then why bother, just track overall visits. There is a 50 scan limit per code/per month in the free tier. If you are not expecting more than that, then sure it will be fine. Otherwise, something like...

    How do QR codes work exactly?

    There is overhead. Is it a lot? Generally, I would not expect so. You have to handle all the traffic that you are redirecting. It is not a lot per 'click' but over large numbers it can add up. I imagine most of the cost is the to support the 'increased value' you are getting by them providing...

    How do QR codes work exactly?

    I do not have a count, but if whatever service/library is not trying to track clicks/visits via the code it is probably free. Alternatively tack on "free" to your QR generator search and you will likely find lots

    How do QR codes work exactly?

    Pretty sure your qr.io code directs to them first then where ever you want to go for tracking purposes, I have not used the service though. That said, you don't need to use a commercial service to generate a code. For example -- this should bring you to the 4th post in this thread. For a very...

    I've been denied

    Depends on file permissions, your current user might not be allowed to read the file. Either take ownership of the file Or try looking in event viewer -> windows logs -> system and find level "error" and source "bug check"

    DIY all-round NAS feedback and tips.

    You do not need to buy TrueNAS hardware, you can run it on pretty much anything. I run a custom Atom C2550 based TrueNAS setup. IMO unRaid is a nicer UI but the "new" TrueNAS web UI is a lot nicer than it was. I am not sure you can really say full custom hardware is cheaper. the majority of...

    Checking the battery with multimeter

    You have to open the battery to test it. why not simply connect it and see? I don't know the pinout of the battery, but it has 8 wires. Assuming I see the right battery, it is rated at 15.2v. Generally black wires are ground and you could test with one of them and each other wire until you find...

    questions about mysqli displaying variables

    They should probably be set based on data in your table. You have a previous thread where we discussed fetching the values from a db and setting them to variables. https://www.computerforum.com/threads/need-help-with-mysqli-update.249470/#post-2081684 I don't understand what you are trying to...

    questions about mysqli displaying variables

    The update doesn't work. The particular error is almost assuredly 0 = '0' This is coming from your SQL variable, I added arrows around it: You are referring to this section? The values are echoed are correctly empty, lines 38-42:

    not updating

    This means the query executed without error, but as you are seeing, does not mean it worked. If your code is an exact copy, $receiptno is an empty string and $id=id which makes your query "UPDATE control SET receiptno = '' + 1 where id='id'"; '' + 1 is 1. So if you are expecting 2 but getting...

    need help with mysqli update

    This is usually closing the connection then trying to use it, but if the above is the complete code, then you aren't connecting to the database and that could be it. This bit from your original code. <?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "homedb"); // Check connection if($link...

    Replacing HDMI ports!

    A new graphics card is fairly easy to install. Replacing HDMI ports is more involved. If you aren't pretty experienced with soldering and have the appropriate tools it will be quite difficult

    Compile C to HEX

    Something like https://www.mingw-w64.org/ can install a windows compiler for C. Alternatively, might be able to use WSL, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install, but I'd expect the resulting binary is compiled for linux and won't work under windows without some effort to build for...
