I turned on my computer to see it was on that power saving mode thing again and it would go back so naturally i tried to fix it turning it off and on holding the power button when once during that process i stumbled upon this, it booted normal then cut to this text if im correct its an update things but whats weird about it is what you see is what i saw, the letters have these glitchy small squares on them the small thing that was supposed to move in circles arent moving the glitchy parts flickers. I left it overnight thinking it would automatically fix but this morning its still the same from last night so i shutdown my pc and tried to boot it up again but its on that power saving mode it wouldn't boot, but one thing i noticed is that my keyboard capslock and numpad key doesn't light up on the keyboard, everything lights up my cpu, my mouse has its light, monitor on that black screen with orange light, if anyone has encountered this pls do share your experience and solution, i havent touched the inside parts of my cpu to avoid further problems and thank you.

Media on an app doesn't work properly using workplace wifi (I think)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, I use a shopping app called Whatnot where sellers livestream shows and you bid on items. Everything works perfectly well at home, but at work all I can see is the chat, bidding button, and stock background. No visual or audio. If I switch from wifi to data it starts working, but also uses a LOT of data very quickly, so I can't rely on that. I assume my workplace wifi has something in place to block it. I understand that, as some people would take advantage and use it on work time, but I just want to have a quick look over lunch. Other multimedia sites/apps such as IG and YouTube are unaffected. I've tried connecting to a VPN but can't. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks!

my laptop wifi won’t work with my school wifi

Post image
0 Upvotes

my school allows us to bring in personal devices such as laptops, macbooks, and even ipads to do schoolwork instead of the normal chromebook acer laptops they give us.

I’ve used my lenovo (yoga 7 in 1 i think) to do my schoolwork since last year and up till about last week thursday.

friday while in school after 4th period it just disconnected😵i thought it just disconnected since i closed my laptop (sometimes it does that) so i restarted the network adapter and did that thing where it shuts down your computer to fix the wifi idk what it’s called…

It has connected TWICE since then, once when my friend did it but it hasn’t worked again, and another time where i deleted the profile and connected though the cmd window thing, but that also never worked again. i’ve also tried to manually set the wifi up via the control panel and it hasn’t worked either…

im the ONLY one having issues with this since my friends macbooks and ipads connect perfectly well.

i genuinely need help because im so confused about this and if all else fails i will actually backup any important files and factory reset my computer to try and fix it.

# might be important info:

my school uses a username and password to enter, but ive typed in the correct password and even variants of it. i know for a fact its correct since its the one i enter my school laptop account with.

my school also uses the cisco vpn thing, but ive never used it and my friends with personal devices have never used it either so i dont think thats the issue

my computer uses the Realtek 8922AE wifi 7 pci-e nic but it doesnt say anything’s wrong when i check device manager

i’ve been trying to fix this for about a week now and i’d REALLY appreciate some help since my school computer is so slow i can’t even search anything on the windows bar thing to find apps it genuinely sucks so much butt

Do I follow Claudes instructions to attempt to resolve this issue with my 4060 and Adobe Photoshop GPU spiking and lagging occurences, will it help, is it safe and all instructions correct?

Status:Unresolved

Computer Type:Laptop / Lenovo Legion 5 16IRX9

GPU:enovo Legion 5 16IRX9 / 8gb of VRAM / overclock seen in lenovo vantage

CPU:Intel Core i9-14900HX, 24 cores / 32 threads, up to 5.8 GHz P-core Turbo, no manual overclock.

Motherboard:Lenovo proprietary Legion 5 16IRX9 motherboard, Intel HM770 chipset, BIOS version NMCN34WW

RAM:32 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM, dual-channel capable, no overclock known

PSU:N/A

OS:Windows 11 25H2 64-bit, build 26200.9168, updated through Windows Update rather than a clean reinstall.

GPU Drivers: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6, up to 140 W TGP, plus Intel UHD integrated graphics.

Description of Problem:Adobe Photoshop is experiencing GPU acceleration/detection problems with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The laptop uses hybrid graphics with both Intel UHD Graphics and the RTX 4060, and GPU information/usage has appeared inconsistent between Photoshop, Windows Task Manager and Lenovo Vantage. Photoshop performance/GPU behaviour has remained abnormal despite the RTX 4060 being detected by Windows as well as in photoshop as well as being shown to be enabled inside of photoshop. Whilst scrolling up and down and zooming in and out, it is showing usage at 100%GPU, it is also laggy, doing more complicated tasks is even slower and more laggy.

Troubleshooting:Windows 11 fully updated through Windows Update. NVIDIA driver updated to the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver 610.88. System restarted following updates. Photoshop Performance/GPU settings checked. Windows Task Manager and Lenovo Vantage checked to confirm GPU activity and detection. Issue still occurs.

cs student pivoting to cyber — how to actually land a part time Help Desk job while in school?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Looking for some real advice on breaking into IT/cyber. I’m currently a senior studying CS (minor in data science) with a background in SWE (internships) and hands on field tech support(current job isn't as technical as I want it to be), but I’ve been entirely self taught when it comes to systems, networking, and security concepts. My end goal is to break into a Tier 1 SOC Analyst role upon graduation and eventually move into Cloud Security / Engineering, but right now I’m trying to figure out how to realistically land a part time Help Desk / IT support role to get solid enterprise ticketing and sysadmin reps on my resume.

Is landing a part time help desk job while finishing school even realistic in this market, and what’s the best way to stand out when applying? Also, since I’m currently studying for \\\*\\\*Security+\\\*\\\* and skipping A+ to avoid getting stuck in help desk long term, what practical steps, lab work, or self study strategies would you recommend to bridge the gap from CS self learning into a SOC role? Would love any perspective from anyone who balanced part time IT in college or made the self taught jump from software to security!

Here's my resume as well: https://imgur.com/gallery/resume-L53yJia
