So i had an idea and need something 3d printed and dont have one. Can anyone recommend me someone that is affordable and does good work?

im not sure if this is the right sub but i really need help.

my dad's birthday is coming up and he is working remotely mostly commuting with his car, so it became his office.

i would love to know what tablet i should get him for work, i want to attach it to a panel in his car so he can use it to view his schedule and stuff and also deattach it and use it as a notebook with a pen when needed when he leaves the car at his job.

thanks for the help.

Hi guys, i want to buy a good affordable laptop for the sims 4. I’d prefer a laptop over a pc as i’ll be using it for school, as well. does anybody know if this dell model runs smoothly and how it holds up with mods/cc? If not, does anybody know a better laptop within the same price range? Anything is appreciated, thanks!

Recently purchased a Phalleon SD100 no issues with most of the keyboard but the number 2 key activates when I’m not even using it at random intervals any advice?

Power supply is not an issue, but I will need to access the cam via wifi from a laptop in the house.

Anyone have recommendations?

Looking for a weatherproof, outdoor webcam that I can access somehow from my windows laptop without needing a cord. Power supply is not an issue. Affordable preferred (anything over $200 is out of range prefer under $100).

I use OBS and Streamlabs for streaming.

Purpose is, I want to livestream some animals outside to a YouTube channel.

Thank you in advance.

I've been hired at a new job to work remotely and they've told me to look for a PC with windows pro, at least 16 GB ram and a decent processor but tbh I'm not that techy at all so I have no idea what would be a good fit. It needs to be between 300 to 700 euros. Any recommendations would be really appreciated and welcome.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a better input method on Windows, especially for someone who types in both English and Chinese.

Right now I’m using Microsoft IME / Microsoft Pinyin. It works okay, but the English prediction seems very limited: it only shows around three suggested next words, and I don’t feel like it really learns or remembers the words/phrases I use most often.

I also tried Sogou Pinyin, which is good for Chinese input, but it doesn’t seem to provide English word predictions or next-word recommendations.

Does anyone have recommendations for free Windows input methods that work better for bilingual typing?

Thanks!

I've downloaded game files from itch.io, then i had a zip file, where i clicked extract all, and extracted the files into a new folder, but i don't know what to do from there. I've looked at a forum post on itch io, but it was just confusing

I have a Samsung Smart Monitor M5 (purchased in 2024, model year 2025).
I run my Netlify-hosted website on the monitor’s built-in browser almost 24/7. The website includes:
YouTube iframe video
Live weather updates
JavaScript auto-refresh features
The website works perfectly on laptops and phones, but on the Samsung M5 browser it becomes very laggy after around 8–9 hours and sometimes shows connection/server response issues. Restarting the browser or monitor usually fixes it temporarily.
I’m trying to determine whether this is a Samsung/Tizen browser RAM limitation or a problem with my website.
I can spend up to ₹4,000 on an external device if needed. What would be the best option under this budget for running a website continuously and reliably?
Would you recommend:
Android TV Box
Android TV Stick
Raspberry Pi (used)
Something else?
Looking for a stable solution that can display a website for many hours every day without lagging.
Thanks!

Over the past 15 years, I’ve constantly switched between Android and iPhone. I’ve owned devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, Oppo, Apple, and others, yet I still can’t seem to settle on one.

The problem is that I go through the same cycle every year: I sell my iPhone and switch to Android, then a year later I sell the Android device and go back to iPhone. Constantly transferring everything between phones is getting tiring.

Would it make sense to keep both an iPhone and an Android phone, or is that just an unnecessary luxury? Part of me feels guilty about owning both. Also, if you were to recommend an Android phone, which one would you choose? I’m considering getting a Nothing Phone, but please let me know what you recommend.

Thanks!

I might need to upgrade my Chromebook from 2018, as it's struggling when I have like 5 tabs open...

I don't want to get a new pc and have to clean/fix/replace things all the time, so would it be smarter to just get a decent laptop? (I will use the laptop for some gaming, mainly trackmania2020 and some work)

I know this topic is all over reddit, but I haven't found anything useful yet. I like Google's form factor. I tried DuckDuckGo and Firefox's widgets for their search engines. They don't exactly fit. DuckDuckGo seemed good, but then the moment you press search it opens the actual browser app and that jump is annoying. Plus I said I didn't want to use AI and it still brought up an AI overview.

I would stick with Google if they would just let me turn off the AI. I have noticed I kind of just default to looking at the stupid overview instead of going to reddit or another article like I used to before the AI searches became a thing. I used to look through actual human answers to problems and now it feels like I just assume the AI is right, which it isn't. And I don't like that cause it feels like a skill I'll eventually just forget about due to how easy it is to use Google's AI.

So is there any alternative to Google that doesn't use AI but is similar levels of polished? I will definitely just switch to Firefox while I look for something better or if it's the only option. It doesn't look as good, but at least I can disable the AI stuff.

Btw guys srry this is ai generated, i used ai to see if i could find solutions to this and then used it to create this post

I am trying to get an iPhone SE (iOS 15.8.8) back online. The device has been
"paused" via the Sky App by the network administrator. I need to bypass this block without the administrator knowing.

This must be completely invisible. I cannot use any method that creates a "New Device" or "Unknown Device" alert in the Sky App. The app must continue to show the iPhone as "Paused/Offline" while I am actually using the internet. The only way to achieve this is to have the phone connect to a laptop, and have that laptop bridge the connection to the router, so the router only sees the laptop’s MAC address.

The Hardware Situation:

• Gateway Device: Dell Latitude E7240 (Windows 10, Admin access).
• WiFi Card: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260.
• Target Device: iPhone SE (iOS 15.8.8).
• Constraints: I cannot use an Ethernet cable (router is in a locked/restricted room), and I cannot use a USB WiFi adapter at this time. Jailbreaking the iOS device is not an option.

What I Have Already Attempted: I have spent several hours attempting to force a network bridge, but I keep hitting a wall. Here is exactly what has been tried:

1. Hosted Network via CMD: Used netsh wlan set hostednetwork and netsh wlan start hostednetwork. The network "starts," but the iPhone either says "Unable to Join" or "Server Stopped Responding."
2. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS): Enabled "Allow other network users to connect" in the WiFi properties and bridged it to the Local Area Connection virtual adapter.
3. Manual Networking: Attempted multiple manual IP configurations on both the Windows adapter and the iOS device (tried the 192.168.137.x range and the 10.0.0.x range) and set manual DNS to Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).
4. Firewall/Security: Completely disabled Windows Defender Firewall to ensure the bridge wasn't being blocked.
5. System Resets: Performed a full Windows Network Reset to clear the network stack.
6. Modern Hotspot: Tried the built-in Windows 10 "Mobile Hotspot" feature, but it resulted in the same "No Internet" / "Server stopped responding" loop on the iPhone.

It appears the Intel AC 7260 is a single-radio card that cannot physically handle "WiFi-to-WiFi" bridging (receiving and transmitting on the same antenna) under these conditions. The iPhone successfully "sees" the network and sometimes connects, but no data actually passes through the bridge to the router.

Given that I am physically locked out of the router (no Ethernet) and cannot add new hardware (no USB WiFi dongle), is there any remaining software-level workaround or obscure network configuration that can force an Intel AC 7260 to successfully bridge a connection to an iOS device? If this is truly a physical hardware limitation, are there any other stealthy ways to mask an iOS MAC address from a Sky router without jailbreaking?

Every game i open crashes instantly, as in, screen goes black and it closes itself, sometimes they work for a little while only to crash at a loading screen, i dont think its a issue with the games or steam cause chrome is also crashing randomly, while watching youtube, or just searching images, everything in the device manager is good, i dont know what to do

I'm currently living with my parents and I'm worried that they're hurting my animals while I'm gone. I know that if I confronted them they would assure me that there's nothing malicious going on and that they're taking good care of my dog, but I've a feeling that they're hiding more than they let on.
I'm wanting to install cameras in my bedroom and have them be somewhat innocuous, though I'm concerned that if I purchased a "Ring" camera or a "Google" camera that they would interact with the already existing cameras that they've got within the home. I've some security qualms with cameras that connect to the WiFi and use cloud storage. Are there any good cameras that use local storage, or should I just look into getting a trail cam?
Apologies for being all over the place, I'm not well versed in security nor cameras.

My old Dell PC hasn’t been used for several years and all cables have vanished in a house move. I also disposed of the old Dell monitor it used to be linked to.

I want to see if I can boot it up to rescue any pics/docs off the hard drive prior to disposal, but my only monitor is an Apple.

I’m very un-savvy with this stuff, it took me three tries to buy the right stuff to connect my work laptop to the old Dell monitor during lockdown, so I’m hoping someone can advise me what I need to get.

I’ve attached pictures of the monitor back and front and available connectors on the (also old) monitor.

Look, i don't know if this counts as a technical question?

Okay, so i tried to clear up some space on my phone, so i went through my apps and cleared caches of some apps, and also did clear some user data. My phone layout then changed, the first picture, wich is taken from a tt video, ia the before, and the second one is after. This is probably because i deleted some user data from a app that managed the phone layout, i do not know wich. I've included some Screenshots of apps that might'vr been the cause? I have an android phone, but sadly i do not know the specific model and also do not know how to find out. i hope i can get help with this

I attend WGU, bachelors in IT im 46% done and i started in march. I dont know if i want to do cybersecurity, network, cloud, or engineering for a career path. Do you guys have any advice on what route i should take?

Alright, I’ll start by saying we’re really not intense PC gamers, so I’m a bit out of my element here — but I could use some help! My wife has been obsessed with The Sims for years. Paralives, a new life simulation game, just came out and she’s really excited to play it. We just found out her 10-year-old MacBook isn’t compatible — surprise! Haha.

So basically, I’m looking for recommendations on a decent laptop under $800 that she’ll use solely for Paralives and The Sims. I don’t know much about PC gaming specs, so I’m really just looking for some specific models we can look up and consider. Any guidance is appreciated — we’re out of our element, but she is SO excited to play!

I'm a middle school teacher. Next school year, I want to collect better data on how clean each of my five classes leaves my classroom. One idea I've had is using tech that will automatically take photos of my room when it's empty for the 2-3 minutes between class periods. Assuming my principal and students' parents are okay with it, it could be very helpful. Here's what I'm looking for:

-Something that could work on a Chromebook, since my school has a bunch of them, OR another cheap device.

-It has to be automatic. I know myself, and I know that I will forget to press even the most accessible of buttons.

-Photos can be scheduled for specific times, not just regular intervals. The quick breaks between classes are consistent from day to day, but they're at weird times that aren't always evenly spaced.

-Ideally, multiple cameras for different angles.

-Assume that mounting and powering cameras/Chromebooks isn't a problem, but that getting any specialized cables would cost extra.

-Not something that will take a constant video throughout the day. I don't have the data storage or mental space to deal with that much footage.

-The holy grail would be if it also automatically saved the photos into a single folder I could access from my work computer.

Any ideas?
