Also when i bought the laptop i was told na need ko ng microsoft office kasi naka windows 10, i was given a licensed microsoft 2013 na lifetime na daw for 2k okay ba yun? O nagoyo ba ako

 

mukhang nagoyo ka dude. unless there is an OEM certification dun sa installer mo (kung installer nga ang ginamit), or it is covered by a legit license. otherwise, pirated and cracked yan.

 

office365 na ngayon.... annual subscription.

i can always get the activation key from torrents or even from youtube.

anyway, nandyan na yan. yaan mo na lang muna.

 

on the things that you need to download (based if you need them or not)

• Skype
• Winrar or Winzip
• Spotify
• Java Runtime
• .Net runtime
• Silverlight
• Shockwave
• Foxit PDF Reader (or Adobe PDF Reader)

You may download them (and have them automatically installed) at www.ninite.com

 

Make sure that your AV database is always updated.

Ano latest model ngyun ng desktop

[Petyr Baelish]

Do not install shockwave or flash. Mag-iinvite ka lang ng virus dyan. Di naman na kailangan ng flash sa major streaming sites like youtube etc

 

Uninstall or disable flash in your browser, disable java in your browser too.

 

Also, foxit and adobe are too heavy for PDFs. Try SumatraPDF reader. Super fast.

Hoping someone could help out...

Bumili kasi ako ng Hitachi 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" hoping na magagamit ko siya as external hard drive ko... bumili ako ng 3.5" HDD External case USB 2.0.. ngayon pag plug ko di siya nagautorun and di siya nalabas sa my computer, pero sinasabi ng laptop na may external device na nakaplugin naman... ang tanong ko po, 1. Bakit di siya narereflect sa My computer? And 2. Kelangan ba 3.0 din ang enclosure ko? Tia mga boss! Sana masagot po...

1. make sure na loaded ang whatever driver needed for the enclosure

2. punta ka disk management after mo ma load ang drivers, at initialize mo ang hdd na nandun sa enclosure

could anyone have a suggestion for my problem below:

 

my wifi is not working on certain network. I have a dual boot computer. linux and just installed windows 10.

 

wifi with pldt dsl is working on linux but not on windows. it only shows connected but not loading any webpages.

i have tried tethering my mobile data and both windows and linux allows me to access the net w/o problem.

 

i have tried these. didn't fix my problem

[glut_func]

try forgetting the network name and retry to connect to it. Other than that, I dont know what else could be the problem since the guide you followed is already extensive enough to have fixed your connection issue.

[Google]

if you do an ipconfig in windows, what IP address is issued? does it follow the same IP address configured thrown by the router via DHCP? is this the same IP address issued by the router while on Linux?

 

assuming the ip address is correct and the same, can you do a ping? (e.g. ping www.google.com -t)?

is your router dual band, meaning, do you connect via 2.4 and 5 ghz? if it is, what band is your Linux connecting to? you may need to disable the higher band first and try if connecting to the lower band works for both OS.

 

another possibility is the channel dun sa router that you are connecting to. if it is on auto-mode, try to use a fixed channel and try again.

 

on the assumption that your router is not a dual band, try to update the Wifi card driver first. then do the forget network and try to connect again.

however, please try to do the troubleshooting steps first as stated above.

 

in any case, isa lang ang possible maging problem nyan on the windows side, which is the driver. otherwise, lahat ng possible problems nyan nasa router.

 

i had experienced that before, but in my case, sa Linux naman ako di maka connect. Until I discovered that my wifi card cannot connect to the 5 ghz band. When i disabled the 5 ghz band sa router, ok na sya lahat.

I don't know where to post this, but anyone can suggest where to dispose old or defective electronic gadgets?

[glut_func]

^if its old but still working you can try to sell it na lang. If no one's buying it then just give it to a relative.

 

Kung defective naman, try to get it fixed first, walang aarbor nyan kung may sira na. Pero depende pa rin siguro sa sira ng gadget kung willing yung pagbibigyan mo or buyer na sila gumastos para magpaayos. After that, same thing, if you can't sell it anymore ipamigay mo na lang sa kamag anak/kakilala.

 

I prefer giving it to a relative - i think about it na lang as tulong sa kanila.
