My four year old ultrabook is still fast enough for everything i do, except it isnt, because of soldered RAM. A simple upgrade or repair that used to cost a little now means replacing the whole machine. Manufacturers say its about size, battery life and…

My site on a managed WordPress plan keeps randomly falling over with this: A restart of the server or waiting a while fixes it, then it comes back a few days later. It got noticeably worse after restoring a backup. I'd like to understand whether the database…

My PC is perfectly stable except when playing a hero shooter. Then, at match start, this: the stop code is DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. I got a penalty for leaving a ranked match because of it. how do I find out which driver is causing this? im comfortable…
im new to server side rendering and this error has me confsued: It's a Nuxt project and the error points at the user's theme preference. Locally it sometimes happens, sometimes not. A colleague says it's because of browser extensions, another says it's my…

ugh. question for teh backup nerds: how often do you test restoring? i realized Ive been backing up my client projects to a NAS for years and Ive never once tried to get a file back from it. Is that as risky as it suddenly feels? Also curious how you…

Confession: i preordered a game, downloaded a patch bigger than the game, and still spent the first weekend reading about workarounds instead of playing. Im not angry, just tired. With multiplayer shooters, Im starting to think Ill wait for teh complete…
