Any suggestions on where to start with troubleshooting an external hard drive that isn’t being detected? For context, it’s a very old 1TB HDD that is in its own case. I’m not really sure how I can open it because the case has no screws. It worked last week and suddenly stopped. Usually the led indicator blinks when I plug it into my laptop’s usb port, but now it just stays the same color (meaning no activity).
In the era of NVME and SSDs, why is RAM still a thing? Is there any reason (other than technological inertia) that we should have two different kinds of memory, when the primary reason for that is no longer relevant?
Yes, I get that. But I’m really wondering why that is? If memory is digital, and storage is digital, why not develop a RAM-less architecture? Why not have a storage bus with the same throughput as memory does currently? Is it just because of the cost of the chips?

Have you tried signing out of all devices using that account and logging back in?

I’m looking for a router that I can access using 192.168.x.x and does not require me to create an account and share data to access. So not Netgear.
Can you expand on what you’re looking for exactly? Most consumer routers will let you customize the subnet range (192.168…).
Random question that crossed my mind yesterday:

I stumbled upon a useful website but come to find out its also a web app?!
The domain is .app. So what is cool is I was able to create its own entry in my phones app list by clicking the add to Home Screen button on Firefox.
My question is where can I find a website with lists of these with categories even
I didn’t have much success with search engine queries. Thanks!.
I don’t have anything to add, but +1.
A few useful web apps I’ve found are duolingo and Uber, which have native notifications on iOS without needing to install an app.
Thanks for reply. Do those have an .app extension? Where can they be found ?
OK after more digging they are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA’S)
Now that I found proper term I am getting many results.
Party On! Dudes.
