Assuming both the source and target devices are in good working order, where is corruption most likely to happen (if it does)? For example, suppose that I'm backing up stuff from an inteal HD to an exteal USB drive - are undetected errors likely to occur during read from the platter, inside drive caches/controllers, transfer from the drive, on CPU/Memory, in transit through USB or when physically writing to the target platter? Here I'm conceed with transfer alone, not long-term storage issues like bit rot. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

What happens to a download started in incognito mode when you cancel it? Does it get deleted? Or is there a temporary file somewhere?...

According to this article (http://www.zdnet.com/article/why-raid-5-stops-working-in-2009/) if you have a RAID 5 setup and one of your drives decides to die you would replace the dead one with a new one and try to rebuild but statically speaking based on the unrecoverable read error rateURE you will more than likely run into a bad sector which will cause your rebuild to fail and some data will become unrecoverable. But if this is true doesn't that mean that even if the hard drives were not run in RAID and one drive failed then statically speaking one of the remaining drive has a bad sector at this point and also have some unrecoverable data? Does that mean URE should also be a consideration i...

I have a ultra HD computer and some apps don't work well with this resolution (too small text, buttons, etc) I tried to run them on a virtual machine but it has the same problem. I set the resolution of the VM like 1920 x 1080 or other, but in this case the VM is too small, and so the app. Have you got any solution to make the app working well on my computer or with a VM ? I don't want to do it on another pc. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

In general iOS is not capable of network scaing because of limitations built into the software. apps caot keep using the network in background. apps are limited in how much location info they can get in the background. apps themselves are limited in working in the background at all. apps can only see a subset of wifi network info through the official API. So an app could theoretically search for networks if you open it up but you wouldn't get much info on signal strength and location and even less when the app is working in the background. If you want useful network scaing info you will have to use a laptop, or a phone that has less restrictions like Android. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

On my Mac OSX machine I ran an app that was correctly signed by my organization, but not downloaded from the app store. Now when I go into Gatekeeper and change the allow apps setting to only the app store the app can still be run. Deleting it and copying it back over to the box didn't have an effect. Where do I go to a clear out the trusted certificate/etc on the system where the app will no longer run with the app store only setting in Gatekeeper. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I recently installed KB3156421 on my windows 10 laptop. Because of Microsoft's notorious habit of changing defaults after installing updates, I checked for my new defaults in settings. This time Microsoft did not change defaults apps but something strange happened. Google Chrome is still my default browser but win10 is showing Inteet Explorer Icon for Google Chrome. Previously this was not the case. I know this is not a serious issue but I am still wondering if I can get the chrome icon back. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am using Fedora 23 with Gnome and the latest Citrix Receiver. I need to use Citrix to open Windows applications for work and I am having an issue where when I try to maximize or full screen any application, the Gnome top bar seems to get in the way which causes me to have an offset cursor. I need to click a full cursor-length below the object I want to click on for a click to register. My "solution" so far has been to run Remote Desktop Coection in 1440x900, but I'd rather take advantage of a full 1920x1080 work space. Does anyone know of a way to make Citrix applications override the Gnome top bar? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have an @icloud.com email account and I keep receiving emails that apparently coming from LIDS. There is no unsubscribe option in the emails. I've visited LIDS website and found that option here. I've used it several times in the last months with no success. I just sent them an email for this purpose using the contact option in their website. If I click on the email(I know I'm supposed to ignore them but I don't care at this point) it takes me to the real LIDS website. No spam weird website with malware or anything similar. Is there a way to know if this emails are really coming from this company? And is there something else I should do, like reporting this to any official org? Thanks in a...

I installed Android Studio (as of 5/8/2016) on Windows 7. The installer seemed to work fine and the application even showed up in Control Panel > Programs and Features > uninstall list. However, when I launch the application, the progress bar reaches close to the end (see yellow), but doesn't quite finish. There weren't any errors in the Event Log. Any ideas what may be causing this? Last week, I installed on Windows 10 just fine. So this seems odd. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3542 laptop with Windows 8.1. Recently, I installed the Zbar application for scaing QR code. It does decode the QR code using integrated webcam. But the problem is, i am able to use the service only once! If I try to run the application again, it throws an ERROR which is shown on a command prompt window for a second and it disappears. I tried to run the Zbar application as a subprocess from python and I could see the error which stated: InvalidRequestError: ERROR: zbar processor in _zbar_video_open(): invalid request: failed to coect to camera '/dev/video0' I tried disabling and enabling the Driver from Device Manager but with no success.

Over the past couple of months working on random website projects I've been developing a list of problems with my current configuration, as well as a list of desired features for my ultimate configuration -- however I'm not certain exactly how I should be setting up users / groups / permissions to get this working. Desired Features One server We will only be working on one or two projects at a time, and only people actively developing plus maybe one or two (for clients viewing work-in-progress) will be accessing the server. There is no reason to believe this server will get overloaded or that we'll need any form of load balancing If the server did somehow get swamped momentarily (one develop...

Your command basically is this. $ (echo '400' && echo '4') | hexdump -C 00000000 34 30 30 0a 34 0a |400.4.| 00000006 Not the output includes the end of line n aka 0a characters. So one easy thing you could do is pipe that through a command that will delete the n. So something like this $ (echo '400' && echo '4') | tr 'n' ' ' | hexdump -C 00000000 34 30 30 20 34 20 |400 4 | 00000006 Which has actual output of 400 4. But that doesn't include any line endings so you may want to only remove the line ending from the first command. $ (echo '400' | tr 'n' ' ' && echo '4') | hexdump -C 00000000 34 30 30 20 34 0a |400 4.| 00000006 Anyway, the point is that the line ending is just a character use tr, ...

I downloaded the Windows 10 update launcher from Microsoft that I did on several other machines, but for this one it will not start. I tried ruing all the updates and then a reboot. Still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas that could cause or fix this? I ran an update repair tool as well. No error messages show. EDIT: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade This is where I am getting the file from. EDIT: I did look for C:Windowspanthersetuperr.log but that file does not exist.

Bought a new mac but can't access wireless networks I used to because their passwords are saved on my old pc. Can wifi names and their passwords be exported from a Windows 7 PC and imported to a OSX Yosemite? Can this be done locally (without sending the settings over the inteet), e.g. via USB? I don't know how to write scripts or code but I'm tech savvy - please elaborate if you have a complex solution. Thanks in advance. Let's block ads! بخوانید...
