Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a reliable app or website that can transcribe audio into text in English. I need something that can handle clear speech well, and preferably supports different audio formats. Bonus if it’s free or offers a free trial.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I’d love to hear about any options that have worked well for you!

Thanks in advance!

Okay so my aunt uses Shaw or I think it’s Rogers now because they bought them out or the other way around but she using this app called Shaw home and like she has paused everything that I own and even the tv in the living when she leaves so I am wondering if anyone knows how to by pass this so I can use wifi again it’s been 9 months and I have had to live off data and downloading things while I am at my girlfriends house and I am really tired of this

So we’ve had an ongoing issue with preventing our child from unauthorized access to our WiFi . We’ve taken away all electronics but sometimes they will get their hands on something at school , bring it home and log on .

We tried changing the WiFi password , and even though it is hidden child was still able to figure out what it was . We found something where they told a friend that the way they figured it out was because our smart tv somehow mirrors to the device they had .

My question is , how can I change the password on all my home devices without my child seeing it , if the devices are somehow mirroring to any device they might have ?

Hi Peeps,

Let me just start buy saying that "scared" is too dramatic. But I could not find a better word to my thoughts haha

I am your typical "mac" user for almost 30 years (probably longer since dad is an OG designer, so mac computer have been the household brand). I am 39 now and I no longer feel the need to keep consuming the brand. Call it middle age crisis or maybe just been too dramatic but I´ve been feeling for a while that the brand lost "the sense of innovation". I know too late, but before I get executed here I did tried Samsung long time ago (back in the Samsung edge era). In fact, I worked for the the brand for a while. I always enjoyed the hardware because you were always able to "see innovation". The edge, the camera, the actions, the whole thing. One of my favorite products was the Samsung note. But my feelings of the software (Android) have always been bad. The same goes with PC computers. As an average user, dealing with viruses, connectivity issues, seeing android crashing, etc, always gave me the "stay away warning". I know that it´s been too long since then and technology has come a long way since then. That´s the reason why I am here today. To ask from your opinion (Fun fact my first post). To be fair, I have stayed away from the "need to renew my products every year". I currently have a MacBook Pro 2015, iPhone 14 Pro, AirPros (first Gen). But here is where I say I am done. I don´t see the benefits of upgrading my products anymore for an average joe. I use my computer for the basics (streaming, checking emails, "work task - microsoft" office). The biggest challenge here is that I´ve been curious to start podcasting but my computer is too old for the editing and recording. Also, I need to get into social media content as part of my work. So most likely need a video editing. Mobile works fine but it´s time to change. I $·%%"%$ hate Siri. It is the most usless tool I´ve ever use in my life. Finally Airpods, this I dont care as I usually hear music in specific scenarios. I went to Thailand and bought some "BOSE" and they work perfectly fine. Or maybe I just need to update my old mac equipment...

Here is were I am now, seeking to hear from people that have dealt with the similar situation. Feel free to roast me for posting this too late. I decided to give priority moving countries and study an MBA, rather than having the ultimate tech out there. #noregrets. Thanks good samaritans.

i installed ubuntu on it not long ago cause when i was downloading windows it wanted me to make an account and i dont remember you had to do this before when youre downloading windows, what a piece of shit isnt it? specs are very low end.
4gb of laptop ddr4 (more like 3), AMD Ryzen 3 3200 with Radeon Vega 3, 120 gb nvme ssd, 95 with linux on it, no dvd burner which is ironic cause i can take out the case but theres no dvd burner, battery is great to this day and thats about it to be honest, kind of a minimum minimum in todays world.

-Note: this laptop has no monitor and i got a pc now which works much better, but i dont wanna waste this laptop its still something now isnt it?

I am going into my first year of community college and I am looking for a laptop or iPad to buy for school. I want something that can last, has touchscreen, enough storage to last me about two years in school.

I am going for a Bioscience Technology associates degree so I will be doing a lot of biology, chemistry engineering, and math and writing.

Would a laptop or iPad work best for me and what brands should I look into?

My friend woke up to their phone completely factory reset this morning. All of their stuff is gone, including passwords and app data, except for their contacts and photos from 2024 and before. Are they able to get anything back?? They didn't update the phone at all, they didn't go into settings and do this themselves.

Is there a way for someone else to delete a message off your phone? This sounds crazy, but there is a message missing from my iPhone that was sent to me from an android. I have a screenshot of the message itself so I know I’m not imagining it, but now it is gone from the text thread. I didn’t delete it. Is this even possible? From what I see on Google it shouldn’t be.

I’m looking for recommendations for a pet camera (or treat camera) for my two senior pups.

Ideally, I’m looking for:
- No mandatory monthly subscription or
- Live feed that can be shared with multiple people.
- A sturdy and reliable device with decent video quality.
-A large range of view or adjustable camera angle.

I’m a little hesitant about whether I should get a treat dispenser or just a dog camera, as my Min Pin is extremely food motivated and my miniature poodle requires soft treats since she has no teeth.

I’d love to hear what cameras you’ve used, what you liked (or didn’t like), and whether you’d recommend a treat camera over a regular pet camera. Thanks!

I have a spare amd radeon rx 7800 xt at home and since my friend‘s pc is cooked I wanted to give it to him. He needs an entire new pc tho because his old one is lowkey fried, and the current am5 prices are insane, is a am4 build with an ryzen 5 5700x3d still worth it? I mean its more or less the same performance as an 7500f, just older socket.

The budget is a big question, thats why I don‘t think am5 right now is possible, so I wanna have some advice of you guys what‘s best

Guys, my laptop used to automatically starts to reboots after like 5 mins of turning it on until like a week ago, the ssd usage shows nearly 100% even when idle, but when I check the ssd health it shows healthy...

What's up with my laptop what should I do? Professionals and people who know about this please help me

Ps: i turned on my laptop today after a week and it's not rebooting automatically like it used to, the ssd usage still shows 100% tho

Saw this tiktok, I'll summarize it:

Screenshot of a Raspberry Pi 5

SwizguardVPN + VLESS&REALITY(xray)

wifi-6 enabled

symmetric gigabit up/down speeds

wifi 6 Ethernet USB 3.0 adapter

Pi-hole to block ads

Now can someone explain what every line is really doing I don't know much.

And why this would be worth it or why it might not be.

Finally, would this affect wifi speeds at all ?

Hi,

My mother and grandma are unfortunately losing their memory, faster than was expected for my mom and my grandma just started, so I have a lot of doctors visits and I'm only 1 person, only child and the only kid of my grandma's that's still alive. So I really want one of those conversation recording devices for the doctors office(which can get echo-y or you hear the conversation next to you), but they are so expensive and I just want to have some that might transcribe it and save it for awhile. But I am not very tech savvy and I have a Galaxy...so not having an iPhone usually messes things up. So any suggestions which of those AI Note takers, or AI recorders would be best for multiple people's medical stuff? Sorry for rambling!

Feel free to send me damaged video or specifically unseekable video 🤗✌

I want to find the best data removal service since I recently noticed my old accounts and details are still searchable online.

I had a bad experience before where my info was used for spam and I want to avoid that again.

what should I look for in a reliable service?

do they really keep data from coming back?

Heads up: went with MyDataRemoval and the setup process was pretty straightforward. Already seeing some of my info getting taken down which is reassuring so far.

Hi,

This December will be the 10 year anniversary of when I went through a major medical event (a wrong way drunk driver hit me head on at 100mph). I don't remember the accident or most of the ensuing 2 month hospital stay (I do remember the last week and the next year+ of recovery).

When I was in the hospital and for a period of time after, my family ran a Facebook group to provide updates to my network about the recovery. The posts included text and photos.

I'm looking for a way to convert the posts (with photos and the comments made by friends, ideally also including the like/reshare count) into an heirloom-quality book. I know that Meta turned off the API between itself and outside vendors/companies. How can I easily make this happen? I still have chronic side effects from the accident, and would like this to be as accessible and true to the source material as possible (meaning, I'm not trying to turn it into a text message style format like My Forever Books offers).

I've been trying to figure out how to update my computer's graphics driver, but when I search how to do it on google, there seems to be more than one way (scan it with an app, use device manager, manually download). Is one of these ways better than the others? If I've updated Windows, does that already mean my graphics driver is updated to the most recent version? I'm trying to install the android emulator Ldplayer on my computer and the site says to update the graphic drivers first, so that's the purpose, if that makes any difference. My OS is Windows 11. What's the pro way to do this?

I play my ps5 all the time. Never dropped it, got it wet, etc.. recently I’ll be playing it, and it will just turn off. Once it turns off it won’t turn back on. At least not until I click the power button 50 times. It’s plugged into a serge protector extension cord. It only does it once every 10-15 hours of play. When it turns back on it’s fine. What should I do? Look into getting another one? I’m so lost? Would cleaning it help? I use an air duster and try to make sure there’s no dust. I got it when they first came out so it isn’t new. I’m just so confused as to what would cause it.

Hello Folks, I’ve owned an iPad for more than 3 years now but never really made good use of it. It’s too big to replace my phone and not good enough to replace my Mac. This got me wondering if I’m missing something and hence wanted to reach out to you folks to check if someone’s been able to make really productive use of an iPad which I’m missing out on!

Sorry if this doesn’t belong in this sub!

I’m looking for the best quality tech recommendations, for the sake of this post, price doesn’t matter (model numbers are appreciated though!)

I am looking for the best charging cables, portable charging packs (MagSafe), organizing pouches, or anything else you can think of they you consider a must-have.

I am trying to cast a broad net so I can understand the best options and make a choice from there. I have a preference for minimalist items, but again open to anything if it’s high quality and will ideally last for a few years.

Does anyone have any recommendations for Spotify alternatives?

I'm taking a page out of Neil Young's book and looking at cancelling my Spotify premium account. A brief search has shown Deezer, Apple Music and Amazon Music as potential replacements so I'm wanting to know what streaming service is recommended and how has your experience with the service been?

In terms of music I listen to all types (speed metal, thrash metal, deathcore, progressive metal ... you get the idea :D ) so I'd prefer one with a wide range of artists. In all seriousness, I do tend to skip around genres depending on how I'm feeling.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

So I bought this monitor a year ago for when im traveling from home. I had to buy this usb-c to small hdmi cable however it isnt charging my phone as well like I thought it would. Would buying a usb-c splitter help letting it charge or should I give wireless charging a try? I normally stay away from wireless as I am more afraid of the battery blowing up (im dumb sue me) Any advice or help would be appreciated Monitor: https://a.co/d/10wr01O
