First off you should be turning off your computer by using the shutdown function of the computer. Some computers don't automatically shut themselves off when doing this and you have to hit the power button on the front of the PC. You shouldn't even turn off the computer by flipping the switch on the power strip, nor should you turn it off by holding in the power button on the front panel either. You can set up some PC's to shutdown when you just touch the power button on the front panel, but I would still just recommend hitting shut down (it doesn't take long).

Hi I purchased a brand new computer 2 years ago. About the last 2 months I noticed my blue power light wasn't as bright as it use to be, in fact you can barely see it. I also noticed my fan was making a loud noise and now I don't hear that either. Its like it isn't getting enough power. I start the computer up and it allows me to get to my icons but once I go into something or leave it for 5 mins, the power automatically shuts off and...

FYI. You may never experience this but if you do, this may save some time debugging the problem. A person left his computer to do some other tasks and when he'd come back the links to the backend didn't exist. What happened was that the person had a new computer. In the Control Panel there's an option (at least for the Dell computer he's working on) for Power Options. The option "Turn Off Hard Disks" was not set to Never but to...

In Python programs, you will quite frequently find code like the following for removing a certain prefix from a string: if url.startswith('http://'): url = url Similarly for stripping suffixes: if filename.endswith('.html'): filename = filename

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
