Welcome to the Power Users community on Codidact!
Power Users is a Q&A site for questions about the usage of computer software and hardware. We are still a small site and would like to grow, so please consider joining our community. We are looking forward to your questions and answers; they are the building blocks of a repository of knowledge we are building together.

This is from a meta-stable oscillation of one of the switching power supplies. The switching speed is almost certainly much higher than this, which is why you don't hear it most of the time. Unde...
I have repositories on GitHub, and have been using a user name and password to access them. All was working great. I could use various GIT commands on the command line, and GIT would automaticall...
Very briefly, bit rate is the rate at which individual bits are sent. Data rate is the rate at which data is effectively transferred. Not all bits carry data. Some are used for various out of ba...
Due to "compression". The video is highly compressed. Some of that compression makes use of the picture not changing much from one frame to another. When you extracted individual frames, such co...
This is up to the how the email client displays the images, which is something you as the sender have no control over. For embedded images, the client usually re-sizes them to fit in the preview a...
Two possbilities: A firmware upgrade supports this feature. You can't. I also have a Lenovo laptop, purchased in 2018, and it does allow me to set the limit to charge to. Here is a screen sho...
He sees just 2 3.5mm audio jacks — see my green arrows. Correct? No, clearly not. Since both holes are different sizes, at most one of them can be 3.5 mm. It's hard to tell absolute sizes in you...
This is regarding the regular phone app that came with my Android phone. Under App Info, it says App installed from Google Play Store and version 78.0.437276706. I haven't done anything deliberat...
This isn't a direct answer to your question, but a suggestion. Try specifically disallowing internet access to this program in your firewall. That may cause the program to realize it can't get to...
What you want to adjust is called the white balance. That's a very common issue, so I expect just about any image editing software has a feature to manipulate the white balance. I'm not familiar ...
I fixed the problem by re-installing GIT. I also updated to the latest version instead of re-installing the existing version. I was running version 2.32.0-64 and am now running 2.37.2.2-64. Howe...
I have a bunch of GIT repositories on my laptop, which have their "origin" set to repositories on GitHub. After a commit in a local repository, I do git push -u origin master to update the remot...
No, you should not post that question, at least not in this form. Here are some problems: Can I await Mozilla or Firefox to unearth the awry Add On(s)awry, before attempting myself? How long need...
There is much confusion in this question. What you call "wireless driver" is apparently the built-in WiFi transceiver in your computer. If so, this has nothing to do with a driver. Whatever devi...
This is a function of how the device presents itself over the USB, and also possibly what file format it stores pictures in. Some modern cameras can be switched between being a "camera" or "file s...
You could take the list you have, then sort it and remove redundant lines. Sorting programs come with the OS nowadays. I've had to do such things occasionally, so I created a program to eliminate...
This is not a direct answer, but you can just copy the pixels. Scale the PDF so that the equation you want is nicely readable on your screen at a size appropriate for the Math site. Do a screen c...
This is admittedly rather ugly, but you could move the PANDOC program to elsewhere, and replace it with your own script. That script can add command line arguments, then run the real PANDOC. One ...
Unquestionably, I wrote the original links to Microsoft in my post. I thus attributed. This if flat-out wrong. Here is all the text in the post you reference: I actioned all these steps to Take ...
This is a guess, but it looks like the paragraph starting with "36" just fits on the page when there is no space above it. When you add the blank line, it doesn't fit anymore. There is probably a...
This answer is to the question as originally asked, not what it was edited to several days after this answer was written. How do I halt this, so that Windows stays focussed on Skype? Don't clic...
I have Windows 10 but don't have this problem. That may be because the first thing I did when I got the machine was to go thru all the settings I could find, and shut off anything I didn't want. ...
Another one just showed up: How can I record 2 simultaneous Teams meetings, on the same computer, without audio cross interference? In this case, a mod found the duplicate and posted the link in a...
This isn't really a license issue. You are assuming that the post was written elsewhere first, then copied here. However, since the same user posted all of them, we should assume that user wrote ...
Requesting recommendations for particular apps is not a good fit for this site. These are essentially "shopping questions", which are disallowed on other Q&A sites for good reasons. These rea...
