How to cool an overheating iPhone

So I had this idea last week: would a CPU cooler do any good in cooling a hot iPhone? Yea sure it's bulky but if you are using it as a mobile hotspot only, and not texting and calling at the same time, it might work right?

I made a video, did some tests and you can see all of it here:

ShadowPlay Suddenly not Working/Disabled FIX

ShadowPlay suddenly is disabled?

This happened to me recently after updating GeForce experience. I had a hunch of what the problem is. Two hunches actually, one is that the Motherboard BIOS caused it. I considered it since my computer is suffering from stability issues. Yes, it is a newly build custom PC. My other hunch was quickly confirmed as dealing with it fixed the issue.

What was the problem?

Drivers

Here is a really quick fix:

Update your drivers.

ShadowPlay will work again.

How to install a 3.5" Hard Drive into A Toolless Drive Tray

If it is your first time to build your own PC (just like me) and you get this new case with a tool-less feature (which means you won't need any tools to fit stuff in), you might have wondered how to use it. It took me some time (about 10 mins) to figure out. So, if you are wondering how to use a a toolless drive tray for a 3.5" hard drive, here's a video on how to use it.

Here's the video:




The tray in the video is from a corsair 380T

How to diagnose a dead computer

When a computer is dead or it won't power on, there may be a number of reasons. In this article I will discuss how to identify the problem if your computer won't turn on.

Power Cables

Make sure that your computer is properly plugged in the appropriate power outlet. A computer may look dead if the power cables are loose or the outlet itself is loose. Check your connections then try switching the computer on
again.

Then try to make sure that your computer is plugged to the appropriate power rating. If your computer is rated 220 volts, plug it in a 220 outlet. If it is 110 volts put it in a 110. Plugging it in a wrong rating will cause damage and add even more problems

Also check the wires if they are not damaged. Sometimes they suddenly get damaged. One cause is rats. They tend to chomp on anything. Or if they are moved often, the wires tend to be grounded. This is more common on thinner wires.

How to Destroy a Perfectly Good Computer Installed With Deep Freeze

How to destroy a perfectly good computer installed with deep freeze

Introduction:
So you have been to a computer shop where you are asked to pay about half a buck or more for every hour of using their computers and internet. You sit down thinking you would get your money’s worth. You ran your favorite browser when things started to slow down and slow down and slow down until your computer hangs. You ask the shop keeper what’s wrong then they just send you to another slow computer.

It’s definitely not the computer units. It’s their internet connection. So why do they bother putting up a lot of units in their shop even if when all of them access the net, the entire network slows down? Are they too cheap to upgrade the connection?

Anyway, it’s not your problem. You pay right but you don’t get served with the proper service.

So it’s payback time.

Fast Light Box Tutorial

If you want to get that evenly distributed diffused lighting and cannot afford a light tent or soft box, or you just want something cheap, then you need to make a light box. This is the simplest and fastest way to make a very efficient light box. This apparatus will help you in your isolated photography to make a very beautiful white background. Note that this is very small and uses little resources. This is unlike the big hard heavy ones that costs alot. This is more suited for amateur work.

You will need the following:

one box (the size depends on how big you want your light box to be)
two lamps (at least two: very bright)
some bond paper
cutter
tape

First, take your box and remove the upper covering. Then, create a huge hole on either side of the box. These openings will be covered with bond paper and will be the entry point of light from your lamps. The bond paper will diffuse the light to prevent "hard" light from appearing on your photographs. After making those holes, create an even larger one - this will be your window. It will be where your camera will "see through" to take shots of your subjects. Overall, you should have three big holes. After that, cover the top and side holes with bond paper. Then cover the interior with bond paper evenly so that post processing your images to remove the slits resulting from the presence of the bond paper or the edges of the box. Or you could just use a larger type of paper or the opposite side of a gift wrapper. Use your tape to secure the parts.

This is the simplest light box. You could of course create a bigger better one but it will take more time, energy and resources and money. Take this solution as a "band aid." The bigger your setup is, the better.
