I was working on a painting on Photoshop (also has YouTube up and Spotify playing music) and my laptop suddenly crashed and displayed the blue screen of death, then automatically restarted. After the restart, I opened photoshop again to keep working and noticed that the program had been restored to the way it was prior to the last session (the painting I was working on wasn’t first in the “last modified” menu). In the thumbnail view, it appeared to be intact, so I opened it to find a completely destroyed file. It was just the background layer sketch and a red screen overlaying it all in one layer (all layers lost). All my work was lost, and it was a painting I had been working on for a while

I believe someone installed spyware onto my iPhone. I have reason to believe it’s a business partner. Who is using the information to emotionally and mentally manipulate and abuse me. Is there someway to track who did it?

ive been trying to stream for the past two hours‚ but kept running into different problems with the audio. the latest is that now my computer isn’t picking up my headset microphone input at all‚ for no conceivable reason. it’s not muted‚ my computer is set up to use my headset microphone‚ but it’s just not working. i can still hear audio output through the headset‚ it’s just the input that isn’t working

So I’ve been having this issue about a week now, I recently got the razor barracuda headset (wireless) and it was working fine.

All of a sudden it’s one sound or the other when I join a discord call. If I’m in a call I CANT hear any sound from my PC, I’ve tried so many different methods and input/outputs. It’s to the point I want to throw the entire PC. I don’t know if this is a computer issue or a discord issue.

PLEASE HELP!!

Question: 1

Alright, so my HP laptop once again stopped working. It randomly turned off and wouldn't turn back on. No lights, or anything. Did a quick search, and read it might be that the motherboard blew. My last HP did the same thing. I knew it out, as I knew it couldn't be fixed. Should I just avoid all HP products for awhile?

Question: 2

Saw a cheap Dell Chromebook both new and a used one for sale. Are Dell's better than HP? Or Worse?
