Computer Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread II

ı see there's some sort of thing about taking idiotic comments to that Brought to you by CFC thread , considering not all people are computer savvy . Though it would have been cool for people to see that the CFC still mocks me and stuff , instead of evangelists looking at World History subforum threads to see Muslimlovers amd stuff are not defending the genetic superiority of the White Race . Or something . See , this post is totally qouteable .
 
r16, I'm afaid I don't have the answer, probably in part because I don't use Windows 8/10, and am not familiar with that button.

Zelig, I believe r16 is from Turkey (correct me if I'm wrong), and in Turkish the dotless i is a common letter. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I for an overview. While I'm not an expert and don't speak any Turkish myself, I've seen many Turkish speakers on the Internet, including others on CFC, use the dotless i in some or all of their English i's. I've never found it to be much of a problem for reading the posts, and I'd consider it disrespectful to point it out in that manner. It definitely isn't relevant for solving the problem.

On that subject, this is also why the city of Diyarbakır is a relatively common test of whether software can handle localization properly - if not, it will show both i's with a dot, whereas only one should have a dot.
 
Moderator Action: Let us please try to be respectful of one another. We have many posters who are not native English speakers and we need to have some tolerance for their mistakes or customary ways of spelling.
 
am not offended . Have a lot of baggage with life that ı have discussed elsewhere on this forum and the fact is there have at least 4 or 5 times that by merely pointing out the disorders in my unconnected computers by posts online , the disorders have been "made" to go away . By adding invisible files to my downloads of the day . Generally by those guys who put the disorders in the first place . This might be an issue within my laptop and ı will merely cope with it . Not much of a difference from my old PC using Windows XP after all .


half hour later : And it seems my reward for this post shall be that ı will not be able to download anything today . Which indeed happens , time to time ...

twenty minutes later : Now ı can . Will classify this as a glitch in the host site .
 
My laptop has started self-throttling because it refuses to recognize a perfectly good power adapter. It is a Dell inspiron 5547. How do I force it to stop self-throttling?
 
Are you sure it's throttling based on power and not heat? It's probably trying to avoid melting its circuits. Try managing your power options under the control panel, turn them to 'high performance' and see if that changes anything. If that doesn't work (I suspect it won't) you'll want to open the case up and get some canned air in there, clean the dust from the fans. You'll need to clean your laptop in this fashion at least every 6 months.
 
That's the wierd part, I already did that just today. I took off the bottom panel, got my can of air and blew out the dust more thoroughly than I usually do. When I put the bottom case lid back on and plugged in and turned it on, the computer gave me this screen:

After that, all my games' performances plummeted. I never got more than 6 or 7 FPS at most.

I do use speedfan to help with temperatures, as well as a laptop cooling stand. Speedfan showed a temperature of 40-42 celcius, during gaming, but I assume that was because of the throttling.
 
Okay, then my next guess is that you somehow loosened the circuitry on the charging port with your canned air. That's complete speculation, not sure if it's even plausible, but the only thing that makes sense to me with this information.
 
Hmm. I took out the charging cord, and took a close look at it to be sure.

Turns out it got corroded. :undecide: I thought it was dust, but since air didn't fix it, I think it's corrosion. It looks greenish-blue arcross the entire circumference.

The port on the side of my computer looks like it has less severe corrosion as well.
 
Does anyone have a recommendation for a json viewer that can handle big files and will format the json?

I have to debug a 4.5MB json file, and it is currently all on one line. I usually use firefox with the JSONview addon, but this file just makes it grind to a halt. I have also tried netbeans, and that is working on formatting it but has been going over 20 minutes and has not returned.

4 MB isn't that much, is it?
Click to expand...

It is not that much, but my standard text editors failed. I ended up inserting breaks (using sed s/"},{"/"}\n,{"/g) and then using vi.
 
All of a sudden, I can't launch games that require their disc to be in the drive. The CD-ROM drive shows up fine under "my computer", the auto-play menu pops up, I click "play", but then nothing happens.

This happens for every single game requiring a CD.

The drive lights up and spins and sounds fine otherwise.

What would cause this?
 
What happens when you double click the CD in My Computer? Can you play music CDs? Have you updated OS recently?

If you've changed from 32-but Windows to 64-bit, you might have to make the games run in 32-bit mode.
