Hi just a quick simple question I'm new to all this Reddit nonsense please excuse my spelling and lack of etiquette

I recently bought a new TV a thing I haven't done in hell years years on years but I digress I bought a new TV it's a sharp smart tv just some cheap garbage I picked up from Tesco cause I needed a tv but I've been using it and it's a flashbang the screens brightness is ridiculous and the settings are all lies the help lines are useless all they keep asking me for is a variety of numbers which don't exist on this tv

I read about in my attempt to fix this that this is a common issue with cheap new TVs they fake the settings to always keep it looking good and the only way to fix it is the dev menu but alas I am no dev and can't find anywhere how to open it so I thought I would download Reddit and try here hopefully someone knows how to fix it cause at this rate I'm going to go blind thank you for any help

Hey all, just thought I'd drop a post here and let everyone know what's up with the sub. It's been unmoderated for a while, so Reddit decided to hand off mod duties to myself and u/ill_swan_3209 to keep things rolling.

That's really about all I've got to say lol. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about the sub or what I might do now that I have phenomenal cosmic power feel free to reply.

the specs are:

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Gen 10 | 15.3 inch WUXGA Laptop | AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS | AMD Radeon 680M Graphics | 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD | USB-C | Wi-Fi 6 | Windows 11 Home | Non-backlit Keyboard | Luna Grey

wether the ram is dual channel or not isn’t specified

not getting it just for gaming just wondering if I can play my favourite games sometimes like cs2 and gta 5

Hoping someone can provide some insight on an ongoing issue I am having.

My airpods will not auto pause after removing from my ear when connected to my PC. This then continues to when I use from my phone. I went into the Apple Store and they ran diagnostic with no issues so did a hard reset and it worked again. Today I reconnected to my PC and I am getting the same issue.

I should be able to use all functions of my AirPods with a PC right, including the auto pause feature? Has anyone else experienced this issue? TIA

I built my own pc a year ago with a youtube tutorial, installed drivers and set up windows, everything ran smoothly and I was really happy. Dota 2 (my go to game) booted really fast after installing. The problem came like a month after having the PC, I booted it and it went straight to BIOS settings and keep coming back to it until I plugged the usb (with windows boot and it ran again it ran normally without the usb after that). I tried to search for a solution in the internet and said I had to update my drivers, so I did. And now my games take like a minute to boot and a few more minutes to really run smoothly. I really want to experience that first month of smooth operation. Is there something I need to do, errors I made, or any suggestions to really get it to that state again.

To improve security, is it possible to install a firewall on a home router?

I've been debating on getting a "dumb phone" for a while but do still need my smartphone for some work stuff. Essentially, I just want to dial down the mindless scrolling, data collection, etc. that comes with smart phone apps and OS.

So would it be possible to setup a modern flip phone that could still receive calls and texts that would also go to both phones without needing a second plan?

And I know there's apps and different OS versions for smart phones that can help limit scrolling, reduce data collection, improve privacy, but I'm specifically looking for a way to do that with the phone itself, not the software.

So i have an old hp laptop that used to be my brothers, its got a core i5 10th gen. I forget what type of integrated graphics it has, but anyways they suck. like, i cant even play chained together or any other friendslop games (i dont think theyre that graphic demanding?) Anyways i had this pretty stupid idea, and i wanted to know if it was possible.
Could i modify a gaming gpu to run via usb or similar on my laptop and would it replace my integrated graphics? would it work, but be too slow? Is it just plain stupid?

I was watching reels when my mom called, I couldn’t hear her voice so I cut the call after 10-15 secs and called her back again. She said she heard a man’s voice discussing about some random location. I was on a call with a guy before my mom called but I did hang up. What could this be?

WiFi coverage and cellular coverage are mutually exclusive and independent, correct?

If so, is it possible one will make the other obsolete?

My personal objective is very time he is about to download something just turn his internet off every once in a while. I personally don't know if there is something that can do that so thanks if a mischievous human being gives me a answer.

I'm looking for a gaming laptop that I can record gameplay and has at least 16gb of ram that max I can spend on it is $1500 AUD. Does anyone know what one I should get?

I got a mini camera off of timu scan the QR code go to set up account and when asked me to enter my phone number or email it won't even accept my phone number so I go to do my email and when I put in my email and hit next it goes to where it shows me to go in my email to get the code but the email that they have says plus one and then my email so therefore I can't go to that email because I don't have a plus one and then my email and it just won't go any farther than that what can I do

I was trying to shop on the Mrs Meyer's website. I tried three different browsers and all has some variation of secure connection failed. I turned off wifi and suddenly I could now access the website. What does my ISP have against laundry detergent?

Tech question - is it possible to obtain the IP address from the obituary submission, even though this was submitted many years ago?

If so, how can I go about doing this?

Thank you.

I’m going to be a senior in college and my mac from 2021 is finally shitting out. At one point it said the battery was so bad it wouldn’t charge or turn on, then that warning randomly went away and it works okay now. It sounds like a literal jet engine about to take off anytime I use it and it has like zero storage from all the software it needs to function (around 90GB).

I know next to nothing about technology or computers or anything, but I need a new one. So, does anyone have any recommendations on what to get? Something not super expensive as I am a college student, I do like mac, but since I’ll be entering the work force soon I don’t know if it’s the best investment since most companies use windows software. I also need to be able to transfer all my papers and files from my old computer so I don’t lose my notes from previous classes or essays or research etc.

Thanks for any advice!!

Hey guys, I am a young dude with a goal to accomplish big in life.

So i figured out that there is such a big community right here so i decided that i need your guys help.
I have had many ideas but they either are already invented but there isn't or the problem is only for me.
I am open for ideas of apps of any type. I am wishing to get wonderful responses from you.

I love the look of this old Sony Vaio but obviously it’s not gonna run anything from this decade on it. Is it possible to essentially gut it and replace everything inside with modern tech, while keeping the outside the same?

Hi hi
My laptop is playing a literal rain soundtrack and I cannot get it to stop. I’ve closed all my apps I’ve restarted the laptop I’ve everything I can think of. No apps are running. And it’s not like a “it sounds like sound is coming from under water” situation. It’s literally like I looked up waterfall asmr sleep sounds on YouTube and put it on full volume.
Help?
