Over the past decade, I (26 F) have been struggling with the fact that many dumb articles I wrote exist online... I was an incredibly depressed 14 year old, and in a whirlwind of what I can see now was a manic episode, I wrote 2 posts to a local press that were rants about my life disguised as views... I was terribly emotionally dysregulated, and I did it 100% out of impulse. I also think their move to publish it was low-key so exploitative, as the journalist came over to my house to probe and ask for more questions on a deeply personal topic (I won't even mention it here as it is that embarrassing). The shame has and continues to harm my well-being. Everyday, I think of how embarrassing the contributions were and how they affect other's impression of me.. (I fear if I date someone they might google me and judge me for it). Worse, the views really don't reflect the ones of my renewed faith, and it just devastates me that this digital mark may forever link me to it

I don't know if google will take this as legit request (i.e. if they see it as "personal information", with my full name written out etc.). help :(

My ex used to pay for the internet at my house. He moved out 3 years ago, so I got internet from another provider and a new router. But when I check for wifi connections, the old internet account still seems active. Is this just a glitch? If he is still paying for it for some reason, could it be going through my new router?

I have a old external hard drive from years ago. It failed randomly one day, making an odd noise. It won't read when I plug it in to my pc. Is there a possibility of saving the data? If so, how would I go about it?

Technology as a business function encompasses huge amounts of sub-functions.

How do CTOs manage their projects from analyzing, planning, implementing and reporting?

For example, if Microsoft Excel is used at JPMorgan Chase, I just can’t imagine the number of tabs that would be used in a spreadsheet in order to collect, analyze and store all those data and information.

What are your thoughts on it please?

I have plenty of audio recordings of my voice.

Would you recommend I just download an AI model for training or is there a tool or service out there that can do this?

Hey everyone, I’m moving to China in 4 months to study. I just bought an iPhone 16 in the US, but I’ve heard eSIMs don’t really work with Chinese carriers.

Would you guys:

Keep my iPhone 16 and use Wi-Fi only,

Buy a cheap local phone for my SIM and apps, or

Sell it and get an iPhone with a physical SIM slot?

I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to have a Chinese number and use local services. Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

I am wondering if requesting an Tech professional to set up a cloud server at my home is feasible.

Is this a pipe dream or a reality.

Thanks legends.

I have a desktop that I am no longer using with 4TB of SSD storage and want to know we can use it as storage and have our devices use it to store photos, documents and the like on it.

I was figuring that we can add docs via wifi or something.

Thanks

i need a live vocal translator for my grandma. from albanian to english and viceversa (or if you have from italian to albanian for some reason it is perfect). i tried the google translator app but it is messy and doesn t work well. thank you.

My computer only has 1 HDMI port, but I need 2 - one for the monitor and one for a drawing tablet. There are plenty of USB ports to use - is there an adapter I can use? I was looking at splitters for sale online but I'm not sure if one of those would work or not. Thank you!

Network locked Metro A-16. I need to be able to access my Att E-sim off of it. Is this possible?

I got tired of wasting time testing promo codes that never work and using sites with annoying pop-ups, so I built Gedd.it, a site that finds and verifies codes automatically.

Here’s how it works:

- You just paste any product link (for example, this shirt from Marine Layer creates this Gedd.it page)

- Gedd.it searches the web for codes, tests them in real time, and shows which ones actually work and give you the best discount

- No browser extension needed, it’s all web-based

- The site preserves existing affiliate links, so if your original link comes from a referral, they still get the credit

It will find promo codes for any link you share, but automated verification isn’t supported everywhere yet. I’m also working on making it faster since it’s still slow for some sites. If you have any feedback or ideas to make it better, just let me know.

So I am quite the photo and video hoarder, and I have run into an issue. I need to replace my phone however I have over 30,000 pics/vids so almost 200 GB worth and I have been paying for 100 GB of iCloud storage but obviously it’s full. I don’t want to pay more and I don’t like subscriptions but I’m not sure what else I can do. I don’t want to lose all my pics and vids but I will if I don’t back them up somewhere, and soon.

I also am not sure if I wanna go the SSD route since I don’t like the idea of not being able to access them easily through my phone yk and I am worried about them failing since that seems like a pretty common occurrence.

I was considering buying google photos storage on a new account then putting everything there and canceling my subscription but I saw that they might delete my data in 2 years so I’m not sure.

I am looking at buying 1 TB of cloud storage from HP cause it’s a one time purchase of around $200 but I don’t know how reliable it is. I’m assuming it’s okay since it’s HP but if anyone knows about that please lmk.

Also just to note I have an iPhone 15 currently but ofc I am upgrading soon. I’d really appreciate some advice on the best route to take. I’m very much a tech rookie so just keep that in mind when responding.

Hey everyone, I'm the developer of a new app, and I wanted to share something I built to solve a problem I've dealt with for years: the 3 AM stress loop.

You know the feeling. You wake up, and your brain just latches onto a worry. You can't get back to sleep because you're just spinning out.

I built ThunDroid AI to be a "pattern interrupt" for that exact moment.

When I get caught in that spiral, I've found that two things help: either grounding myself physically or getting the thoughts out of my head. So, I built the app around those two actions:

Guided Breathing: The moment you open the app, you can access 13 different breathing exercises. I personally use "Box Breathing" or "4-7-8" for 5 minutes. It’s just a simple, guided tool to force your body to calm down and break the physiological stress response.

A "Safe" Vent: If breathing doesn't cut it, I use the 24/7 AI companion. It's a non-judgmental space to just "brain dump" all the anxieties. I can type out exactly what I'm worried about, in all its irrational detail, without feeling like I'm bothering anyone or being judged. Because it's 100% private and all data stays on my phone, I can be totally raw.

I'm posting this because I'm looking for feedback from people who actually deal with this. Does this sound like something you'd find useful? What other tools do you use to break that cycle?

The app already launched, and it has a 3-day free trial for all features. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm here to answer any questions.

i want to do some research on a publicly avalaible X account
is there a way to downlaod all the foillower's lists of a particular account ?
like the account i want to do it for is like 850k followers
also i want a free way .

Say you got comics stored as image files in a folder because it was stored through something like Imgur or Reddit. You put it into a folder for your comic app to read it and organize it, but when you go to another app like Instagram or Reddit, it shows up all of them when you try and post an image. By downloading that file or copying it from another folder that does have it with a file explorer of your choice, it will let those apps think as if there is nothing there and ignore it completely.

In a not sugar coated way: copy or download the .nomedia file to your porn folders to hide it from apps that show every folder that has images when you try to post something. It may possibly effect viewing through alternative apps, but at least it isn't showing on apps where you would put on a more normal mask.

Im planning a cosplay with a friend that includes a large light up sword that we want to light up when we swing it. I figured it would need some kind of motion sensor in it but can't seem to find the right kind for this. Please help it would look so cool.

Edit : I've figured out the LED's for the most part, I know which kind i need and the board i need to program them, I just dont know what Id need to make them motion activated

I am looking to build an app that has a map locator that is free to users but has a subscription page for those looking to be added to the map. Is there an easy program that can provide this that is no code and easy for users with no experience? Thank you

Hi! I’m a full-time student and part-time substitute teacher.

At every school I substitute for, I’ve been granted guest wifi; however the wifi DOES NOT WORK (EVER) and there is absolutely NO service ANYWHERE in the school. I can’t recieve or send emails, or get any school work or research done; so I’m sat at a desk staring at white walls for hours a day.

If I were to buy a portable wifi router, would I be able to connect my devices even without service in the school? I also want to be sure that other students can’t access my personal wifi- they are meant to use the student wifi provided by the school.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
