Software: I have no sound in Chrome.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 04:50:43 -0700

The sound on my computer works. The sound on other browsers work as well. The only place the sound does not work is Chrome. This has happened once before but I was able to resolve it. This time, nothing seems to be working.

List of things I have already tried (in no particular order):

Restarting Chrome
Restarting computer
Resetting Chrome settings
Clearing cache and cookies
Re-installing Chrome
Going incognito
Disabling/removing extentions
Using the software removal tool
Troubleshooting
Using guest profile

The only thing that has been suggested to me that I have not yet tried is using Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary. I will eventually try them if nothing better can be suggested to me. I would prefer them to be a last resort though, as I do not want to risk any bugs.

As for which version of Windows and Chrome I have, it's Windows 10 and Chrome 60.0.3112.101

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:55:38 -0700

Hello!

I'm completing a project at uni, and we're incorporating meshtastic into our project solution. I was having trouble finding answers regarding maintenance and repair, and was wondering if you could help! thanks !

What is the maintenance of nodes/mesh networks like?

How often are maintenance checks done/do nodes need to be regularly maintained?

How would you go about repairing/replacing nodes?

Thank you !!

JC V1S: What is the JC v1s programmer useful for?

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 18:13:45 -0700

Can anyone give me a rundown of what they’re using the JC V1S iPhone programmer for? I understand it will restore True Tone. It seems it won’t fix Touch ID or Face ID, though it claims to. What exactly are people using it for?

JC V1S: questions about using the JC V1SE Programmer

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 18:05:16 -0700

just unpacked my JC V1SE - very excited.

will spend some time figuring out how to use it properly, but have some initial questions. hoping some of the seasoned pro's can help me out.

1) the unit can be run off of a iphone 6s battery. i tried 7 different older batteries but i couldn't keep the battery connector in the socket. once connected, as soon as i released pressure it popped out. is the battery the only way to power it, or can i the USB-C port at the bottom of the unit to supply power? I did connect the included USB-A to USB-C cable between the laptop and the programmer and it did power up.

2) if the USB-C port can be used to power the programmer for operational use, is the laptop the only method (because of the lower amperage)? can i use a 1A (iphone) or 2.1A (ipad) wall-wart/AC charger? or is that pushing too much juice through it?

3) i see in forums and videos that there are windows drivers and windows software that can be used in conjunction with the programmer. is this required? or can the V1SE be used as a stand-alone tool to do component reprogramming?

4) dumb question, but going to ask so i don't have to assume.... the USB A port on the top is to plug in an iphone via the phone's lightning port. the USB C port on the bottom is strictly for providing power to the unit and is not for any sort of data exchange. is this all correct?

5) regarding reprogramming battery SN, can OEM apple batteries have their SN re-written? or is only 3rd party batteries that can have their data changed? and once a component has has its SN reprogrammed, can it ever be reprogrammed again?

6) i've read that it's only JC type home buttons that can be reprogrammed. i've only worked with two different ones, v3 and v8.1. will one or the other or both work with the reprogramming? has anyone had any experience or success with reprogramming the YF type or even Apple OEM buttons?

thanks for your time and info.

Software: How is Verizon capable of blocking the #0# diagnostics menu

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 00:58:58 -0700

Just curious on how Verizon can embed software into phones to block *#0*# and *#7343*# diagnostics menu and why do so.

Does flashing with any firmware bypass this with odin?

It just makes testing so much easier when this is available.

Windows 10: Silencing the Win11 upgrade message?

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 20:24:52 -0700

I upgraded my SSD from 512GB>1TB and my machine is now pushing Win11 on me when it did not do this before. I guess the restart and subsequent hardware detection change after cloning the SSD triggered it. Nonetheless I shut it down for now and told it to shush in Windows Update but is there a way to silence the startup prompt and then I can decide when I am ready? I know we could do this with 7/8.x>10 with Never10 (and yes, I DID check if Steve Gibson did it again; nope >_<) but I see nothing with 10>11 on upgradeable computers.

Windows 11: Why wont this McAfee pop up ad get off my screen?

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 20:41:45 -0700

Ever since last night when i had got minecraft, a McAfee popup ad has been on my laptop screen and i am unable to get it off. When i clicked on it on accident, it took me to a white screen where i had to choose between 2 options of extending my protection. This is extremely strange because as far as i am aware, i do not have McAfee installed and i have checked everywhere and it is still not installed. I dont know how to fix it and i cannot use my laptop as the pop up is in the way.

Hello. What do you do now that Windows has made it so that you can no longer update or restore your mobile phone. Since they have stopped trusting devices. currently trusted mobile devices cannot be added. such as Android phones, iPhones, iPads and macOS systems by this feature. 🤔 🧐🥇
