I know there are a ton of reddit video downloaders out there, I want to do it manually. So, looking at the source code you get the link under <shreddit-player> all the links are under playback-media-json. But some videos don't have those links under that, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/dankindianmemes/comments/16zm8ey/lyrics_are_better_than_most_of_most_rap_song_today/
can someone explain why is that? Or is the best option is to get video and audio separately and put them together? Any help works!
Thanks

how do I get this fiber patch cable out? a mouse ate the other end.

Hey, so I suddenly can't get on the internet on my computer. It's not showing any networks available, and when I troubleshoot it says a network cable isn't plugged in and that my wireless network adaptor is experiencing driver or hardware problems. My phone is connected just fine though. I've tried restarting my computer and that didn't work. I have a bunch of research I have to do by tomorrow and I can't find any tech support line at this hour. Does anyone know how to fix this?

As of April 2014 Microsoft is officially finished supporting Windows XP.

Why it's important for you to upgrade now

If you are still using XP, or know of people who are it's time to upgrade them (and yourself)!

Microsoft will no longer be supplying updates and security patches. Those who create infections have been stockpiling XP vulnerabilities for months because if they wait for MS to drop support then they can use them forever, versus infecting machines now with these tricks and Microsoft patching XP to prevent those tricks from working in the future.

Also XP was released in 2001, and has well run it's course, now with 3 consumer operating systems from Microsoft having been released.

New hardware won't support XP, and neither will new software (Office 2013 for example won't run on XP or Vista). When Microsoft stops supporting XP, it will be a very short time before everyone else stops as well.

What if I use "X" software to protect me from infections

There are a lot of good protection softwares out there. One of the most popular amongst this community is Microsoft Security Essentials, which will also cease working on April 1st, 2014 (for XP machines).

Even if you have great protection software, it's still something that is added on TOP of your operating system, and if there are holes in your OS, infections will still be able to get in. 3rd party companies aren't going to be able to patch all the security issues in XP, and they'll only support XP for as long as there is a market. And it should be noted that XP's market share has been dropping fast and will continue to do so. Don't be one of the stragglers still hanging on past April 1st.

Where to go

Windows Vista, 7, 8, Linux, etc. are all available as upgrade paths. I personally would recommend Windows 7, as it has a good upgrade path from XP and currently has the largest market share of any Operating System. Meaning, much like XP, it will likely have a very long line of support. I figure if you stuck with XP for this long, you'll probably want something you can also stick with for as long as you can.

Other options exist and if you're interested you can discuss them in the comments below. I'll keep some links here for quick access

How to back up data:

When upgrading to a new Operating System, it's always best to do a fresh install, so any little bugs don't carry over. This means everything will be wiped clean, so you should back up all the data on your computer that you want to keep. Even if you do an OS Upgrade, there's still a chance your data could be lost (about 1 in 10 from the hundreds I've done for regular household computers). And you should be backing up your data regularly anyways.

The easiest route will likely be to get an external hard drive, copy everything you want to keep over to it, and then unplug the external drive before wiping your computer and installing the new OS.

For more information on data backup see our wiki page:

• WIKI: Different ways of backing up data and keeping it safe:

Compatibility and the difference between 32-Bit and 64-Bit

If you use older software, it may not be compatible with newer operating systems. This is always the case. Fortunately the vast majority of software that worked on XP will also work on Vista/7/8. So you shouldn't have much to worry about, but if you have any truly ancient software, now is the time to find a replacement.

Something many people are confused about when transitioning from XP to a newer operating system is the difference between 32 and 64-bit. So I'm going to clear it up so you'll understand what is best for you.

• 32-Bit: This is what computers used for the longest time. Back in the 80's when computers were considered powerful if they had 4 MB of RAM (roughly the size of one MP3), they started using 32-Bit systems. They knew that it would work great for a long time, because it had a max of 4 GB (or 4,096 MB). And it did last for a long time. But we got to a point where we were producing 4GB sticks of RAM relatively cheap and needed to change to something that could see all of the RAM and be able to use it.

• 64-Bit: This is what we gradually transitioned to from around 2004 to now. It can see below 4GB, just like 32-bit, and above to virtually any RAM amount that will exist in your lifetime (17,592,186,044,416 MB). To put that number in perspective, if each one of those MBs was equal to one second, then that would be roughly 35,000 years. 35,000 years ago was when neanderthals went extinct. So, it's a pretty big number. Which is why we're switching all our computers over to it. The only downside is that since it is so different, some programs won't work with it that would work on a 32-bit machine. Again, these are mostly programs from the 1990's, and before, but some newer ones may have issues too. But since we've been doing this 64-Bit thing for about a decade now, you're not as likely to run in to too many issues. So unless you absolutely have to use a program made for Windows 95, and refuse to find a replacement, you should go with 64-Bit to take advantage of having access to more RAM.

If you have questions regarding upgrading from XP to another OS that still has support, ask them below. This post will be pinned so the community will be here to help those making the switch.

TLDR: XP is getting dropped by Microsoft meaning infections will run rampant on it. Back up your data and upgrade to Windows 7, or something else with long term support. Ask for help with the switch in the comments below.

Anyone know what it is and how to fix it for Windows 11?

Grateful for anyone who finds a solution for me 🙏

I was trying to download a streaming movie/tv service (not netflix) and I got hijacked by something called Delta Search. When it kicked in, it replaced Chrome as the default browser. After several hours of struggle, I thought I got rid of it and got Chrome back as default, but I found that I couldn't sign in to google and had to replace my password.

Next I try to log into reddit, and it tells me that there is no account with my 3-year username, and that it is available for registration. So I registered under piranha-pool again. I'm not worried about lost Karma, but I really am pissed at the loss of my account, and the fact that I lost my three year award attached to it and appear to be a new user.

Has anyone else experienced Delta Search? How did you get rid of it, and how did it affect your internet experience?

Trying to access streaming services from this hotel tv (Samsung smart tv) and having a terrible time. I have a Roku stick which will not plug in due to this box installed on the tv. Here’s what I’ve tried instead.

• universal remote (through my phone) and screen mirroring don’t work because I can’t access the tvs wifi.

• tried an hdmi to an hdmi cord but it also will not fit here

• turned off hospitality mode. This did nothing - network is still unaccessible.

• tried to ask front desk they had no clue

Am I screwed here?

I have been suspended from my account and I want to delete all the data as possible, but it won't let me deactivate it like usual since it tells me that "this account can't be deactivated because it is suspended" or something like that. Is there a way to contact Twitter to ask them to remove my account or the data or whatever they can't delete? Thanks for your help.

I am making this post in case anyone else in the future runs into my same problem and needs help.

Problem: I stayed at a hotel and the tv wouldn't let me switch its input. It was a Samsung TV with model #: HG40ND477. I've tried searching many places but many of the solutions I found was that people disconnected the phone line on the back of the TV that was connected to a black box sometimes labeled "On Demand" box that allows the owner to set controlled settings on the TV. Simply unplugging that allows the viewer to change the input on the TV. My problem was different. The box was nowhere to be found with only a Cable Input line and a power cable connected to it. There are NO input buttons on the tv, just a power button on the bottom of the TV. The TV is fixed to the wall. The remote has no input command button and is a hotel standardized remote with MENU and ORDER buttons for changing the channel. The power button on the bottom of the tv works for everything by itself. Pressing once brings up a menu and then a press scrolls down the menu while press and hold selects the option. Whenever I would try to change the input, I would get a message on the screen saying "No device is connected" even though I had the HDMI cable plugged in. Even the front desk told me there was nothing they could do to allow this change.

Hi guys,

I recently noticed that when I opened up some videos on Youtube , the video shows weird horizontal lines covering the whole video. I also noticed this on Facebook. Although this happens to very few videos on Youtube and Facebook, I want to know what might be the problem for this?

Here's the screenshots for the weird horizontal lines :

Just a quick warning about a site that does psychic readings. I’ve heard they’ve got some sketchy billing practices and issues with canceling subscriptions. For example, someone paid $1 for a palm reading, but then got charged $45, and even after canceling, they got hit again on a different card.
I also heard about shady buttons that trick you into subscribing, and getting a refund is a total nightmare. People have given them super low ratings, like 1-star reviews, and they’re pissed about the billing.
I haven’t used it myself, but it sounds dodgy. Has anyone run into this? How do you protect yourself from auto-subscriptions or random charges? Any tips for paying safely on sites like this? Please share!
Thanks!

Hey everyone, I ran into a weird issue with a phone tracking service (location-tool.com) and could use some advice. I’m kinda stumped and want to make sure I’m not missing something or leaving my PC exposed. Here’s what happened:

1. I signed up for their “24-hour access” deal for 0.95 euros, thinking it’d help me locate a lost phone. Used Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop (fully updated). All I got was an SMS asking to confirm geolocation, and then… nothing. Just a “pending” status on their dashboard. No location data, no updates, nada.

2. The next day, I got a notification about a 39.95 euro charge attempt on my card. I didn’t see anything about a subscription when I signed up—super sketchy. Luckily, I used a virtual card, so it didn’t go through. I checked Trustpilot, and tons of people mentioned similar issues with unexpected charges.

3. Their support is a ghost town. I filled out their contact form to cancel whatever this subscription is, but it’s been three days with no reply. Starting to feel like I’m shouting into the void here.

4. The service itself feels like a dud. It just sends an SMS and doesn’t give any tracking info or logs. I expected something more… technical, you know?

I ran a Malwarebytes scan on my laptop after using the site, and it came up clean, but I’m paranoid about whether this service left anything behind. Also, I want to make sure I’m fully unsubscribed and not on the hook for more charges.

So, my questions:

• Is there a way to double-check if this site left any weird files or processes on my Windows 10? Like, anything specific I should look for in Task Manager or elsewhere?

• Has anyone dealt with sites like this before? Any tips on safely canceling subscriptions or maybe getting a refund for the initial 0.95 euros?

• Am I missing something? If anyone’s used a legit tracking service, what’s it supposed to do differently?

Hi, I'm having an issue and it's driving me crazy. My laptop is a Windows 10 with Intel UHD 620 graphic card.

I have always been able to extend the display to my external monitor and when closing the lid to show only on display 2. All of a sudden as of yesterday, I am only able to Duplicate these displays. This happened after I was dabbling with the setting in "Windows HD Color Settings". There was an option for "play HDR games and apps" for my external monitor, to which i turned it on. It was after this that my external monitor blacked out and the problems started.

Only my laptop was able to show the display. And the only way i could get something on my external display is if i duplicate it.

When "Extend these displays" is selected, the external monitor does not display anything, only the laptop. Also noticed that it has autoselected "Show only on 1" no matter how i try to extend these displays. This is what I see below. Screen 2 is not possible because my external monitor is able to display up to 4K.

When "Only show on 2" is selected. It will automatically change to "duplicate these display".

I've tried all the methods in the typical troubleshooting. Reset, unplug and plug HDMI cable, used a different HDMI cable, uninstall and reinstall graphic drivers, but to no avail.

not really a question for me since I solved mine on my own.

You'll read a lot of answers online like

- remove any USB or devices plugged in, other than mouse and keyboard.

- Replace CMOS battery (the little pancake battery on the motherboard)

- shutdown PC, then turn of PSU (power supply unit),hold power button (don't let go) then switch PSU back on, then letgo of power button

- just leave it for a day.

- remove ram and hard drive where Windows is installed. Open it, then shut it down, insert the ram sticks again and connect the Hardrive or SSD where windows is installed.

- Install Windows 10 again from a bootdrive

Now for me, mine happened after I "Install Windows Update then shut down". I have this problem for 3 days now and what I did was

1. Press F10 to open Advance boot option. If you see your hardrive/SSD there it mean it's still not corrupted.

2. go to BIOS

3. Go to "Boot"

4. there's a priority boot in there and Windows may changed it for some reason. Set your Hardrive/SSD with Windows on it to #1.

5. press F10 or whichever is "Save and Reset".

6. There you go :3

Hope this helps cause I read a lot, and this wasn't in any of them.

I’m stressed and need help quickly. I somehow ended up with a recurring efaq subscription at $25/month. I honestly thought I was just paying for a single report, but apparently it switched me into their membership plan.
I checked their site, and while it says cancel any time, I can’t find a clear way to actually do it. The dashboard keeps pushing me to buy more reports, and the cancel option is either hidden or doesn’t exist.
They list an email and a toll-free number, but I’m not confident I’ll even get a straight answer.

I have a home server that I have been running for 2 years and working great. I’m starting to run out of storage so I got 4 new 28tb drives from Seagate directly it’s there Ironwolf Pro series. However when I hook any of them up with power they just make a beep noise every 6 seconds like in the video. All 4 do this, if they are plugged in during boot the computer will not post. If I unplug them the pc will boot but if I plug it in after the pc still can’t see anything. I have tried each drive individually and they all do the exact same thing, I thought it might be a power delivery issue so I swapped every combo of cables and adapters, nothing. Finally this morning I unboxed a PSU we had sitting around it’s a brand new one and hooked that up instead. Still nothing the same beeping noise. Any insight would be helpful, I reached out to Seagate and they immediately responded with send them back for a swap. However I find it hard to believe all 4 drives are bad. The packaging they came in was pretty good and the box was undamaged.

Edit: Update for anyone finding this post in the future. High capacity drives from SeaGate pull up to 3 or more amps on the 12volt rail on spin up. Most 6pin SATA power cables can only output 5 to 6 amps. So plugging in just two high capacity drives in a daisy chained cable will cause them to fail. When they fail to spin up they stick the head on the platter. The beeping noise is the motor failing to spin because the head is stuck and preventing it. You can successfully deploy them two ways. Have dedicated power connections for each drive, or in your BIOS instruct it to spin up the drives in delayed intervals. Because on normal usage it will only pull .5 to 2 amps, so if two drives spin up separately they can do so successfully on one power cable.
