    Free VPN review of Proton VPN it was working but now it locking up my Safari browser and Duck Duck Go

    Is there a decent VPN out there that is decent and free to use

    Because at first I thought that our internet connection was lost yesterday but after doing some troubleshooting I realized that it was the free VPN that I was using it first started with having to do a hard restart of the iPad to receive my emails then sometimes not wanting to load certain websites pages probably then yesterday no internet connection access at all really are you kidding me

    Yes, there is a thing with VPN’s (a kill switch) that if you loose the VPN server it will block everything and acts like you got no internet at all. Mine does this too. I used to use free VPN’s years ago, but found them unreliable and slow.

      to be fair, a lot more people are aware and using them now.
      opera - atleast the beta version, has a free vpn built in.
      because i dont want to add to the problem, i only envoke it when i get blocked.

        Update I decided to go back with Norton 360 deluxe edition and bite the bullet after buying a new laptop computer for 3D cad software and a USB based multi meter data logging capability and to use my battery testing machine remotely

        I will probably be selling several very old laptops on eBay in the next several months from now but I have to remove the hard drives and format them clean maybe offer them with a operating system or just blank and give them a second life for someone else I will probably keep one or maybe two of them out of 5 of them that I have

          you should install freeDOS on them - just so buyers can see they function.

            That is not a bad idea thanks for reminding me about DOS operating System disk I might even still have one maybe

                Could someone take a look at this schematic and tell me what size and type of capacitor I should use in this application? The information page indicates to place a capacitor across the blue/green wires but it doesn't show what size or type. Neither does it show whether the capacitor should be polarised. If polarised, which wire (green/blue) would be positive? Anyone's learned knowledge would be greatly appreciated..!?...

                RT809F faulty?
                by neuralnet
                Hi all,

                I have recently purchased the RT809F and am doing some test dumps/erase/reads of bios chips before I attempt anything in anger. While my unit is capable of identifying the correct chip types, it keeps telling me there is no chip attached.

                I've tried both the clip and the spring loaded holder that came with the unit, both are giving me the same result. I've cleaned the legs of my test chips with alcohol, lightly sanded them and cleaned them up with an eraser! Here's an example;

                001: Serial number:20210324115525-026373, Programmer firmware version:...

                Artefacting / locking R7 370 - bad memory chip identification
                by Jonny_Doe
                Hello everyone.

                My son came to me one day saying that his pc locks up.
                I found his onboard sound and gpu not working.

                The gpu is an R7 370 and it has weird colors in bios and locks hard when windows/linux loads a driver for it.

                I have run a diagnostic utility (a linux based app with mats/mods for nvidia and tserver/memfa for AMD) and it spew out some things.

                It says error on ch7 rank 0 bit 14.
                Now, i have no idea which of the 8 chips is ch7.
                There are 4 chips arranged vertically to the right of the gpu and 4 horizontally...

                Sharp LC-70LE757U, YouTube/web browser security warning, certificate not trusted
                by DXseekerMO
                Hello again everyone!

                I have a Sharp LC-70LE757U. When I try to sign on to YouTube or access some apps I get a security warning saying "The server www.youtube.com presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted, proceed anyway?" If I proceed this same warning continuously pops up.

                If I factory reset the TV sometimes the apps will come up, and sometimes I have to factory reset the TV up to 3 times to get them to work. The apps will then work until the next day and I have to reset the TV again, sometimes up to 3 times to get them to work....
