  • Not an audio engineer, but I had unshielded (thin) cables in my home speaker setup. If the cables were positioned correctly, everything was fine. Accidentally move them even a little, and there’d be a huge amount of noise, due to power cables going near the speaker cables. Switched to shielded (thick) cables, and there’s no noise ever.





  • I would reinstall Windows, especially if the current installation is old. As long as you can connect all the drives to your computer, you can move files from the old disks. If the games on F: and G: are on Steam or Epic (and other similar launchers probably works similarly), it’s easy to move the games around using those launchers. Games that have been installed outside of such launchers might not work if they are moved to a disk with different drive designation or if they are moved to a new Windows installation.










  • Quick googling says that 1 long beep and 3 short beeps means the RAM is not working correctly. One of the two sticks might have failed. Try the machine with one stick at a time.

    Those error “codes” might be manufacturer specific. Try to google “1 long beep and 3 short beeps” and your motherboard manufacturer.

    Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don’t break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.

    Personally I don’t like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I’m Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot’s post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn’t help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.
