I am able to download videos one by one on a certain website that hosts some hundred or so videos. I am a paid subscriber to the website so I'm not doing anything illegal. (and no, it's not po). The process is labor-intensive for each video. I have to click on each link to get to where the player shows up. Then (in chrome) I open up the webpage developer, go to the network tab, play the video until i see where it shows up on the developer network tab, right click to open up in new page, then onc...

I need a small script to download some programs. The URL's never change but the files do. Like when you download malwarebytes. Example: "https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/" The address doesnt change but the file name downloaded does. Every script i see, requires that you specify a file name. I dont want to do that, I want the script to pull the filename from the sites header which would include the version name of that file in that filename. I cant seem to find any way of doin...

After installing the Windows 10 anniversary update, my computer boots very slow. The first part of booting (bios, loading Windows) is as fast as it used to be, but after logging in I'm stuck on a black screen with just my cursor for over a minute before it seems to continue with the login. I made a video to explain what I mean. Also, when I shutdown, Windows says that Spotify is blocking the shutdown - Which is strange because why would Spotify do this? It will stay on this screen for about a mi...

I just got a new laptop which is just 2 months old running Windows 10. Today when I checked the battery life the battery has wo down 9% which is like 4.5% per month, in this rate my battery would only last close to two years or less. What's the average wear rate of the laptop battery? I use the laptop plugged in most of the time how ever let it drain (not completely) and charge it back once in a week. So a 9% drop is like 50 charging cycles which it definitely didn't had. So this much of wearing...

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with factory-installed Windows 8, upgraded to Windows 8.1, and later to Windows 10. Since I have purchased a new computer, I decided to perform a factory reset on the laptop (using the Remove files and clean the drive option) in order to repurpose it. It reset flawlessly on the first try in about 5-6 hours, and runs perfectly now, but with only one issue introduced after the reset that wasn't present before: the laptop now powers itself on from a shut-down state ...

I'm signing up for a service that needs to verify my IP. I'm using an azure remote server and I'd like to keep using the service long-term.

I have a junker laptop that I want to run Linux on and just SSH into. I believe that the BGA of the videocard has some damage, do I really need to reflow this sucker before using it, or is it safe to install Linux on it, ssh in, and just keep the lid down so the monitor stays off?

On my iPhone, there is an app for Google Inbox, where I can swipe messages left or right to archive them or snooze them. Is there a way to get the web version to do the same thing on a touchscreen computer? If it helps, I'm currently using Google Chrome on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4, but I expect that this would be applicable to any touchscreen laptop / tablet running Windows 10.

It depends. It completely depends on what you're programming. If you are programming apps or need to use programming tools that require higher resource usage then I'd go with #1 and even go up to 16 GB ram. BUT, in general, both are perfectly fine. You can even get a laptop with lower spec and it should be fine. Again, it depends. Oh, and GPU only matter if you are programming graphics related software. I mean, do you need good graphics card to develop a servlet? No. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have a Dell Latitude E6540, Windows 7 Pro SP1; installed programs list includes "Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth(R) Technology". If I right-click on that in Control Panel / Programs and Features, I get options for "Change" and "Repair". If I choose "Repair", it operates for a couple of minutes, then tells me that "Bluetooth Device Monitor failed to start"; it suggests I ensure that I have sufficient privilege to start system services (which I do; I run out of an admin account a...

I want to know if there's a service that could do the trick for me. I want a client, an option, anything for a cloud service like dropbox, Drive, OneDrive etc, which would only download the file and all the child files to make it work (like an .exe requests .config files for example) to the computer when I open it, and offload those to the server when I'm done, just for the purpose of freeing space in the local drive. More or less like a NAS would do, where you can see all the items, but they're...

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series laptop, and, at first, the letter g stopped working... Taking it off and cleaning it didn't work... No big deal, I just ordered a new keyboard.

It got to where I couldn't even sign in. I can't type my password. It just starts typing endless g's without stopping. (This all happene...
