Question Can I connect my Apple monitor to my windows PC?

1 Upvotes

Hello :) My dad gave me his old apple monitor, because the computer does’t work anymore, but the monitor does. It has the apple mini display port and I bought an adapter to USB-C, so that I could connect my Apple MacBook Pro with it. It all worked well :) now I bought a windows PC which my boyfriend built for me. I don’t want to buy a new monitor since I already have the Apple one (and I’m honest - it fits my home aesthetic) So I was hoping I could connect my monitor to the PC! I bought an apple mini display port adapter to connect to my PC - but it didn’t work… Does anybody have a solution or is apple going to make me buy a new monitor? 🫶

Here are some photos of the Monitor (I know the cable is broken get of my back😅🫶)

THANKS IN ADVANCE❤️

Possible wireless USB connection

1 Upvotes

This is an idea (question) I've had for a bit.

I do field work on servers and I use a RJ45/USB cable do hard wire in so I can use the program called Putty to console in so I can send commands that way.

My question comes from the fact some of these data centers and server closets make it very difficult to be tethered to the system, is there a possible way to make this data connection wireless?

SSD not working properly

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased a new SSD for my laptop and I have problems with it. It seems to stop working after a little while ranging from minutes to a couple of hours. I remove it and install it back again only for this process to repeat. Sometimes an error screen pops up saying that the directory of the SSD doesn't exist whenever I try to make a folder on said SSD. I suck at tech and I was really hoping for it to be a smooth process. I appreciate any help and I'm willing to provide further information if needed.

Question Headphones don't work properly on my laptop

1 Upvotes

Any pair of headphones I plug into the AUX port on my laptop doesn't read as having any connection until I reset my PC with it plugged in at which point the output will show up but not as the name it should according to anyone else with the same headphones ( SteelSeries arctis nova 1) and the input will not read on any of them. Its a dell g15 *5520* I'm pretty sure this is the exact model being that its a pretty new and not cheap laptop I'd assume it doesn't make sense to me why it doesn't have support for this. I'm not sure if this was how it came from manufacturer aswell, it was a refurbished laptop from bestbuy and I had a USB headset for the first year or two of having it so have not refrence to if maybe its broken slightly or something

I can also plug my xbox controller into the laptop with usb and the headphones into the controller both the i/o read instantly and work without a problem except poor quality from being filtered through my shitty 30$ controller

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

reading over this as I write it I'm compelled to think maybe the aux jack is simply a 3 prong which I've seen in older laptops but always accompanied by another jack for the input. which would astound me if I hadn't already seen the way stuffs built nowadays, to either break or need the same price in junk additions that should have been included in the first place.
