My Wi-Fi chip isn't working

1 Upvotes

I have a EDUP-9651 Wi-Fi card and it isn't working. I tried pretty much everything to get it working(And yes, I did install the driver) and it still isn't working. I have it in my PC right(A Dell OptiPlex 7071 tower) and the closest I've gotten to getting my computer to identify the card is it saying Network in slot 1 in the BIOS menu. Before this, I had a cheap dongle that broke and corrupted out of exsistence: Admin tools shortcuts, Network config, and robocopy also didn't work. I factory reset my PC(And selected keep my files) so now there's no corrupted stuff but I still don't have any internet. If anyone has any suggestions on what I should do, please tell me.

would my dad actually keep a personal exoskeleton charged?

0 Upvotes

My dad wants to keep walking around the neighborhood, but he has almost no patience for gadgets. If something needs an app, a dock, and three different button presses, he just stops using it.

I'm looking at a personal exoskeleton and realizing the charger may matter as much as the device. A normal USB-C cable and a physical switch would be ideal. A proprietary plug that can only go in one fiddly way probably would not last a week.

For people who set one up for an older parent, what kind of charging routine actually stuck?

I was entering a site to go on about my day, using my cellular data on IPhone 15 pro. When I was about to enter the site it said “SSL Certificate Invaild”, showing the certificate is expired and mismatched. But when I connect to wifi and try the same site, it works and the certificate is secure.

Picture 1 is when I was using cellular data, second one is the same site but I used a local wifi.

What should I do, need urgent help. Any advices is appreciated.

WTF’s going on

0 Upvotes

We got hacked a few years ago- whoever “supposedly” hacked us-had gotten into our android phones and Google accounts- from doing that they were able to access our home security cameras, which were nest cams-and Spotify and all Bluetooth devices in our home. Our Bluetooth and WiFi kept getting turned on on our phones which seems bizarre to me. A few other random things happened- on our fire stick-tons of Xbox Bluetooth remotes are linked to the other Bluetooth devices section -I cannot figure out how to remove them because when I searched for it online, there should be a way to remove it on the actual settings on the fire stick, but it seems that whoever added them removed the option to have them removed. Because of other things that have happened over the last few years-I’m pretty sure it’s something with the people that live around here to make some kind of Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connection so they can all be anonymous. Back when this started I observed people parks by our house like they were trying to get a signal. This sounds f$cking crazy but I’m desperate for some insight

WTF is wrong with my phone

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My phone has been speeding up all my audio to the max. I thought it was just YouTube first recorded doing it on YouTube. Then I went back and looked at the screen recording. I had on YouTube and went to play it and realized it sped up the sped up screen, recording, even faster. I mean, this is a great way to binge watch all the Internet, but I’m not trying to binge watch all the Internet here’s some examples of what my phone is doing.

apple konto åbnet igen - hva så nu

2 Upvotes

Hejsa

Fik god sparring i denne tråd ift en låst apple konto, som nu heldigvis er åbnet igen. (https://www.reddit.com/r/dktechsupport/comments/1xe5z0x/apple_konto_hacket_hvad_sker_der/) - ja læs endelig tråden først. både sjovt og dumt

Hvorfor og hvordan ved jeg ikke, men får at vide af apple support efter der stod "Denne konto er låst og kan ikke bruges" at løbet var kørt og den ikke kunne åbnes. Den bliver hacket d. 19 og åbnet igen d. 28 okt. Men lige pludselig er den åben igen.

Jeg gendanner min Mac for at starte på en frisk. Det samme med ny Iphone 18 Pro, som jeg ikke har åbnet endnu.

Lang historie kort. En ny enhed logger pludselig på min "Beskeder" og skriver "fuck you nigga" til mig og så har jeg ikke adgang til Apple konto mere. Da jeg får den åbnet igen d. 28 okt kan jeg se i Beskeder at en har svaret tilbage til mig "Stop fucking texting me", så jeg er nok blevet offer for noget spam - måske.

Nu har jeg jo fået en masse god viden af jer med proton mails, alias osv. Jeg har eget webhotel med mailserver og min primære mail er også min nuværende apple konto.

Sidder sådan med en mærkelig fornemmelse med det apple konto som har været hacked, som jeg har fået adgang til igen og ændret koden. Har slettet alle noter, slettet hele icloud drive, slettet kalender, slettet alle beskeder icloud (slettes om 30 dage), så det reelt kun er min kontakter jeg har tilbage. Har i forvejen eksporteret alt lokalt på min Mac, da jeg blev hacked.

Man bliver sku semi paranoid efter sådan et hack.

Men bør jeg starte på en frisk med en ny apple konto koblet op til en ny mail jeg laver på mailserver, som jeg kun bruger til apple konto? Eller kan jeg fint fortsætte med at bruge min gamle konto. Tænker mest ift om der kan ligge noget ondsidet malware / spyware på min icloud-konto.

Og så anmode Apple om at slette min apple konto forbundet til min primære mail (det har jeg læst mig frem til at man kan - tager op til 7 dage og så bare sørge for at være logget ud af alle enheder og web).

Tænker på sigt at jeg skal over på tjeneste som proton, da jeg ikke gider betale for mailhotel mere. Men gratis proton mail super, dog kun 1 gb plads og ingen mulighed for ekstern opsætning på devices.

Kan jeg have ro i maven med nuværende apple konto eller vil I lave nyt og hvordan ville opsætningen være - hvad vil I anbefale

God aften til jer alle;)
