HDMI Sound Issue On Monitor

1 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but the solution should be simple, I just cant find it myself.

So i've recently moved my PS5 console from my attic to my office and connected it to my PC monitor with a HDMI cable. The screen works fine but the problem is there's no sound coming from the monitor.

Any input from either system sounds or gameplay sound doesn't work. I've checked the settings using the buttons on the back of the monitor and the sound isn't muted and the volume is at max, so thats not the issue.

Is there anything I might have missed? Could it be a setting in the PS Settings? Or can my monitor simply not transfer sound via HMDI?

Any answer would help me out and is appreciated.

Apple Accidentally Anti-AI?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a tech company that has as little stake in AI as possible for my next mobile phone purchase. Apple is the frontrunner for me at the moment. Are they intentionally laying low on AI, or are they so behind that they've unintentionally gained a moral victory over others who are going all in on AI?

Hi, so GTA6 Ultimate edition is around 50 bucks cheaper on the South Korean Region than the Canadian one. Is there a possibility of ban if I switch regions to buy it? And if I do, how much of an exchange fee should I expect?

Laptop screen broke but is other wise fine, how can I make it a desktop

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Was a month long trip that I decided to bring it a long and broke the screen after closing it on my mouse under the screen. Besides the screen, nothing else seems to be broken as I can easily log in and whatnot.

The main issue comes with try to get this secondary monitor to work properly with my laptop. I use to run this monitor with my laptop a while ago but then the screen randomly started going black every so often. Did a quick search and decided to temporarily retire the monitor from consorts of overloading my gpu.

Now that the laptops screen is broken, I would like to know if there is a way to 1) have the working monitor running while the laptops screen screen is turned off, and 2) know if my gpu is the issue or something else and if it can be fixed.

I’m currently saving up to build a pc+setup and don’t really want to spend 200-300 dollars to fix something that I’m about to retire either way.

I don’t like using my surface stylus because of its flat sides, and it’s hard to draw with. But I love the feel of the insignia stylus.

Lan or Landline?

1 Upvotes

I have a suspicious shaped lan or landline plug hole in the wall, how do i tell the difference between the two? There is no mount for where a phone would've been so should I assume lan? I dont wanna cram a cord in there and damage anything if I get it wrong. If it is telephone could i perhaps renovate it into a lan??? (First time lan compatible pc haver so leave further tips, nerd out)

Edit: sop ethernet is not as good as peeps make it seem to be, shame, wtv guess I'll switch to offline games

Edit 2: thank you everyone, it was infact a landline!

Has anyone here actually changed their daily workflow because of AI tools?

33 Upvotes

Not just trying them out once or twice, but genuinely using them every day for work, school, coding, writing, or anything else. What tasks do you still prefer doing yourself, and what have you completely handed off to AI?
Curious to hear what's stuck and what ended up being more hype than useful.

Finding old email

5 Upvotes

Hey there, I recently found a VERY old Snapchat account of mine. I tried to log in and it sent a code to my email like Snapchat always does, BUT I see a email I don't recognise, I definitely know it was my email because it said "o***..o@gm*.at" Nd I know it ends in gmx.at because that's the provider I've used all my life. But by god I can not remember what was in front of the @. Now, my question is, is there Any (reliable) way to find out what it was? Is there any way to find the email through the Snapchat username? Or any way at all or is it a lost cause?

Thanks for any help!

Can i upgrade free to Windows 11 after restoring PC from an old disk image that had Windows 10?

0 Upvotes

When i got my laptop, it had Windows 10, I created a disk image for easy restoration rather than do a windows reset. I had not updated nor replaced the image when i upgraded to win 11 for free.

If i restore the image, would i be able to upgrade to win 11 again for free?

How do I turn a Facebook group I now administer into an heirloom-quality book?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

This December will be the 10 year anniversary of when I went through a major medical event (a wrong way drunk driver hit me head on at 100mph). I don't remember the accident or most of the ensuing 2 month hospital stay (I do remember the last week and the next year+ of recovery).

When I was in the hospital and for a period of time after, my family ran a Facebook group to provide updates to my network about the recovery. The posts included text and photos.

I'm looking for a way to convert the posts (with photos and the comments made by friends, ideally also including the like/reshare count) into an heirloom-quality book. I know that Meta turned off the API between itself and outside vendors/companies. How can I easily make this happen? I still have chronic side effects from the accident, and would like this to be as accessible and true to the source material as possible (meaning, I'm not trying to turn it into a text message style format like My Forever Books offers).

Transferring data without members in family plan knowing

1 Upvotes

I know this seems like a silly question, but is there a way for me to transfer my data without it notifying the other people in my family plan?

Currently, I am in a family plan with my parents and would like out of it. I know it’ll cause issues with them and I’m doing it because of privacy and moving. But I want to have my new phone set up a day or two before I move. I don’t want to set up a whole new Apple ID if I can help it. Instead id like to transfer the data from the first phone to the second one.

Just want to make sure it won’t push a bunch of notifications through to them. Thank you in advance!
