I know a fair amount about computers but this has me stumped. In the office I connect my laptop to a dock and have 2 monitors set up. I keep my laptop open so I’m using all three screens during the day. When I get home I only use the laptop screen and it’s sooooooo slow. In the office it’s perfectly fine but at home even browsing file explorer is painful. I’ve never experienced this before because well, more screens /= more processing power… or so I thought lmao.
I use some system intensive modeling and simulation software and some CAD softwares (electrical engineering). CAD likes to use internet but doesn’t need to, neither does the other programs I use. I don’t think it’s my WiFi, that wouldn’t really explain things like file browsing or word/excel being slow.
Laptop specs:
Dell Precision 5770: Win 10 pro, core i9 12900h 2.5G, Nvidia RTX A3000 graphics (12gb), 8tb storage, 64gb of 4800MHz ram
Dock:
Dell WD19S Docking Station with 130W Power Adapter and 90W Power Delivery - USB Type-C, HDMI, Dual DisplayPort (WD19S130W) -Boomph's Comprehensive Ultimate Performance Dock Solution for Your Workspace
Any ideas? It doesn’t seem like the dock has anything in it that would affect performance, at least from the Amazon description.

Below is the update we got from engineering. Please review and let me know if you have any questions.
Dell engineering team has provided an approved workaround to help mitigate, in most cases resolve, most short-term video loss with external monitors connected to your Dell docking station. This workaround involves a registry key designed to disable the Display Stream Compression (DSC) function which is used to increase the maximum available video bandwidth. Disabling DSC may have some negative impact to high-end, end user environments that are running 3 or more displays with higher resolutions or refresh rates such as 4k and above. We understand that having the full capabilities available for your hardware is important which is why we are positioning this registry key as a short-term workaround while we continue to work on a final solution that will hopefully make disabling DSC unnecessary. Please see the keys below that will be required. Alternatively, creating a .reg file will automate adding the registry keys. Just open notepad and copy the highlighted text into it, then save as "Disable_MSTDSC.reg". Execute the file on systems needing the change.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000] "DPMstDscDisable"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001] "DPMstDscDisable"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0002] "DPMstDscDisable"=dword:00000002
The driver does not check the registry key at installation so future driver releases will not overwrite the key so unless otherwise implemented, the setting will be persistent. Should the issue persist after applying the registry key and restarting your system: Check your cables. Confirm that your cables are properly connected and securely plugged in. Loose connections can cause intermittent blanking. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues and intermittent blanking. Ensure you are on the latest graphics driver for the attached device and dock model. Check the Drivers & Downloads page from the Support Site for the monitor model for any recent firmware updates. Contact REC for any questions or concerns. Going Forward: Our engineering teams, along with our internal and external partners, are dedicated to providing a final solution to this issue and will continue to work towards that goal. We are happy to continue working with you and providing scheduled updates on the status of the investigation as we work towards the final solution. As an option, should you choose, we may archive your case for the time being and provide you with documentation on how to set up email subscriptions for driver, firmware, and BIOS updates through our support site. We can also send you an update directly once the solution is available. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Though my issue lately has been when people come in, in the morning and hook up. One thing i found was one user was just closing the lid and putting it in the bag. another thing i found, is people were doing the power cycle like me and i found out that I was not being patient. if you plug in a powered off laptop and don't touch anything it will come up on it's own in like two minutes, which feels slow.

We are playing around with the Navigator Tab 3. It is basically a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 tablet that uses its gold-plated pogo pins to dock into an RC. It is detected as a USB device so I am able to detect its presence via code.
However, I want to read data coming from it and possibly block it from controlling my Android app (the one I am using to read data from it). Has anyone here worked with a similar setup? I think the normal USB API of Android Studio doesn't work fully with the gold-plated pogo pins. It can detect that something is connected to the Android device via the pogo pins but is unable to read anything coming from it.

Hi,
I've got a few old SATA drives that I'd like to recover fotos from. I'm using one of these vante nexstar HDD docking stations to connect to the drives. I was able to recover data from some also old laptop sata drives however the 3.5 "larger" drives seem to give me trouble.

1. Drives all start and spin and "sound" fine
2. Drives do not show up in explorer
3. Drives show up in device manager however I'm not able to assign a drive leter, the only options I have are either "help" or Delete partition
4. Drives also show up in diskpart howerver the volumes are shown as "hidden"
   1. If I clear the "hidden" attribute and assign the volume a letter the new drive will show in explorer but is empty

I'm a bit puzzled. On a whim I tried the easus free trial and it does seem to find all the files however thanks to all the bad reviews and low general opinion of the s/w I'd rather not purchase. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to wake these drives up so they automount and the files become accessible? If not which software do you all like? (I'll also search for this as well.) thanks!

1. Can i install my own OS? -> Well I know that it is a win 11 system.. but is it possible to.. install a own OS like win 11 pro or win 10 minimal..
   
2. Is it a normal PC? -> I'm currently a application dev trainee and would like to make my own programs for the device if it work like a normal PC.
   
3. Could I use it in my school? If it's basically a PC can i use it in school like my normal dev laptop.
   
4. Can I make somehow more storage? Like SDCards or a external hard drive oraybe Google drive
   
5. Can I run it 24/7? I don't like stand by modes and need a device that can run test 24/7
   
6. Does it use USB-C for power and devices? Would like to use my docking station..

“Let’s introduce ourselves to the Captain of this boat!”
Nathan pushed the door control and was greeted with a flashing Yellow light, the door had already been locked down, with that, he took two steps back and levelled his pistol at the bottom left of the door, he began firing his gun, spacing the shots around the edge working his way up the left and along the top of the door, reloading after 12 shots.
Reloading was done between two boxes, when one was empty, or low, he would push it into a belt pack he was wearing, a whir from the pack indicated that it was feeding new rounds into the box and within seconds it was full again.
It took a total of 20 shots for him to reach the place he had started, Nathan reloaded his pistol once more and stepped forward with a spring and brought his right foot up to kick the door, the sound was almost as loud as the gun, the metal finally giving in to the stress and falling away.
Beyond the door were a dozen command officers and four Axarli soldiers, they were already disarmed and ready to surrender, likely as a result of watching the carnage that Nathan had already inflicted on their defence forces.
Most of the Officers were Sovereigns of the Pearls, though a couple of Euterians and a Forgol were among them. “Which one of you is the captain?” Nathan’s voice was raised to an uncomfortable level for the Sovereigns who all covered their auditory antennae, one of the Sovereigns stepped forward her hands still clasped over her antennae.
“Everyone else on the floor, face down and arms out!” Nathan’s voice was still raised but he had lowered it a little. The remaining crew complied with his command.
Nathan lowered his voice back to normal conversational level and turned to the Sovereign Captain “Captain, I understand you are taking prisoners from the surface.”
“That is correct.” The Sovereigns were not able to speak Orvangian directly, so her words issued forth from a worn translator device about her neck.
“I would like you to call your crew and have them surrender.”
“I Do not know your species, but you stand with the Federation against our might!” the Captain and her Sovereign Officers all flourished their hands and feelers in a dance-like display.
I am not sure what happened next, a pulse of electromagnetic energy hit me and my suit was instantly fried, pain shooting through my body at the same time, I found myself laying on the floor the ceiling above me decorated with the flashes of Nathan’s pistol.
Despite the repeated blasts of that handheld cannon, I couldn’t hear a sound and I could see my thoughts around me as though I had engaged in the bond with an Orvangian, I was soon floating on a warm ocean of orange light, enveloping me in its softness.
My eyes drifted closed and Purple Valuri bloomed before me, the faces of my family and the distant arches of my home rose into the sky above. I whooped and laughed like Nathan as I clung to the velvety mane of a Plains Rasil, its legs pounding the landscape into the past behind me, we rose over the hills and across the savannah of Talloral and I Roared like the Volluk on the plains of Orvang.
Dreams fell away to a burning pain as consciousness returned to me, I was in a medical bay, opening my eyes was painful, the white surfaces and bright lights making them sting as much as my chest did.
A pair of Tilik were lingering close to my bedside with relief washing over their faces, they moved back and Nathan stepped into my field of view. His face now sporting several fine slices that welled up with red “Jin! We are glad you’re awake.”
The Tilik flapped their tentacles in agreement and I heard a muffled voice in the background. With considerable pain, I pushed myself into a sitting position so I could survey our situation.
We were still aboard the Separatist ship, in a medical bay, there was a pile of equipment blocking the doors and they had been welded closed, the Euterian officers from the bridge were strapped down to one of the beds though they were unconscious, the Forgol officer was standing beside Nathan a thin trail of white bile trickling from his nasal ducts a sign of the fear and discomfort he was in as a result of having Nathans Pistol barrel so far down his throat that it was likely brushing against his oral lymph nodes.
“What happened?”
Nathan bared his teeth at me, the Forgol seeming to shrink slightly at the expression “Those bejewelled Centipede guys pulled a McClain on us, blasted us with an EMP and Frag weapons.
“I had to shoot them and the power armour guys too, it was a blood bath.
“Your space suit took most of the damage and got fried by the EMP, but you got stuck pretty good yourself. Doc here says you had 28 flechette pieces in you.” Nathan gestured to one of the Tilik.
“The Bejewelled Centipede Guys are called ‘Sovereigns of the Pearls’ and the Power armoured guys are Axarli.” My voice was a little weak but it brought Nathan’s Smile back.
“So, there’s a whole army of those Axarli guys out in the hallway now, waiting for our surrender, but my new pal here says there is a service duct that runs through the floor of this room.” Nathan patted the back of the Tilik he had called Doc earlier.
“Even if we escape this room, where would we go?” I winced and even yelped a little as I swung my legs to hang over the side of the bed.
“Well, this ship’s sensors and weapons are out at the moment, I may have devastated the bridge a bit, so I need you and Doc to go down to the Shuttle and bring it around to their Hangar bay.
“Me and Mister Tactical Officer here.” He grinned at the Forgol officer still tasting his pistol. “We go down to holding, free your fellow crew members and meet you at the light frigate they have parked in the hangar.”
It was as insane as every other plan he had come up with, yet I couldn’t shake the fact that his plans seemed to work every time so I mirrored his thumbs-up gesture to him and slid off the bed.
Gravity on this ship was about 15% lower than what I was used to, which made standing possible, but I could feel the slices of pain in my chest and legs, medication was probably the only reason I was able to move at all.
Nathan passed me the Laser Rifle again and I pointed it at ‘Doc’ but Nathan pushed my gun down, “Woah there, Doc is on board with us, he is my newest pal ok.”
The Tilik’s cybernetic translator chipped in with a slightly musical tone “I don’t want to be here either.”
Doc moved to a floor panel and lifted it away, below was a narrow catwalk surrounded by bundles of cables and pipes. Nathan turned to the second Tilik medic “Remember what I told you!” it nodded and injected itself with a sedative, slumping to the floor within moments.
Doc dropped onto the catwalk and I followed, “Good luck Nathan!”
“Same to you Jin.”
Doc began heading left along the duct, Nathan and his hostage dropped in after us and lowered the panel back in place then headed right.
Doc and I soon arrived at a service shaft, it ascended about ten decks, but it went down to the very bottom of the ship, where we were going. The wall next to the duct had a rail mesh on it and a half dozen tractor lifts were parked here, Doc configured one and stepped off the edge, it grabbed him in its tractor beam and began a swift descent, I followed suit, setting it for deck 210 and stepping into the shaft.
The little rail-mounted tractor-beam device reached Deck 210 in under a minute, it would have been an exhilarating ride if it weren’t for the danger I was in.
Doc arrived a few seconds ahead of me and was waiting on the floor of the shaft when I arrived, he lifted a wall panel off once I dismounted from my tractor lift, beyond the panel was an engineering hallway, not far from the hub where a crate of Tilik still sat.
As we walked past the crate Doc read the top, “Can we let them out now?”
“Let’s take it to the airlock, we can let them out just before we exit the ship.”
Doc hooked a lifter dolly to the crate and began pushing it along with us.
We soon reached the airlock Nathan and I had used to enter the ship, my suit was damaged from the flechette attack, and the computer systems had rebooted now but I had to patch it before we could decompress, “Do you need any protection?”
“How long will we be in the vacuum?” Tilik are all able to survive for short periods out in space, but some are augmented for longer periods.
“About 20 minutes, maybe more.”
Doc took a magnetic field generator from the airlock and attached it to his harness, it would provide additional protection from radiation, which he was going to need so near those engine cones.
Once my suit was sealed, we stepped into the airlock and I reached out to the crate to push the release, as soon as the lid popped up, I pulled back and hit the airlock controls. It only took moments for the airlock to cycle and the outer door to open.
I took the lead out into the engine spaces and made my way back to the panel that Nathan had hastily welded back into place, with the laser rifle I shot each weld and then gave it a good kick, the panel breaking loose and floating away from the hull. It occurred to me that I had never done anything like this before, this was the sort of action that Nathan would have taken, it was exactly how he had gained access to the command centre, shot the door and kicked it open.
I didn’t dwell on the thought, the engines were still hot so I clambered out followed by Doc, the Shuttle wasn’t far away so we moved as quickly as we could manage.
It wasn’t long before we were in the rear of the shuttle, “Doc, can you fly?”
“No, I am a medical specialist, but I do have some engineering training.”
“See if you can get the laser banks back online.”
Doc pulled a repair kit from the wall and began a diagnostic survey, I left him to work and glanced at the device sitting on one of the chairs here, it was clearly the black case Nathan had recovered from the Endeavour, but now it was open, the lid was raised on a framework, becoming the top of the device, I recognised what it was, though I had never seen a portable one before, it was a Fabricator, able to manufacture items from schematic diagrams, the Doradul had several of them in the engineering bays but they were large and fitted into the walls.
I stepped through into the cockpit and strapped in, I wasn’t a pilot like Nathan but I had hundreds of hours of shuttle operations time, I could only hope that the battleship’s weapons were still disabled.
The shuttle detached from the Separatist ship and I kept close to the hull, moving as quickly as I felt comfortable doing at this distance. Once we were out from among the engine cones I turned onto the dorsal surface of the battleship, its cannons were all aimed forward now, sitting in their standby positions and none reacted to my presence.
I picked up the pace as I navigated between turrets and antennae clusters, not as reckless as Nathan had been, but I was ignoring my instructor’s safety rules as it knocked a radar dish off the surface of the battleship.
We were almost at the prow of the ship where the hangar was when the laser banks came back to life, I set them to strafing auto-targeting mode, so I could shoot any Axarli in the hangar with the squeeze of a trigger.
My reckless disregard for flight safety reached its peak as I passed the prow of the battleship, making a hard roll and braking as Nathan had done, I even bared my teeth when I completed the move without crashing.
“What was that!” I heard Doc’s Translator proclaim from the rear compartment.
The Hangar ahead was open an atmospheric shield keeping it from depressurising, I could see a few deck crew and some Axarli were targeted by the shuttle’s computer.
I advanced the shuttle through the shield so the weapons fire would not evacuate the atmosphere, the sudden shift from zero-G to the downward pull of the hangar’s gravity forced the shuttle’s nose thrusters to fire and shook the shuttle. As soon as we were through the shield I pressed the trigger and the shuttles laser bank began to fire, deck crew scattered to shelter while Axarli troops began to return fire.
There was plenty of space in the hangar, the Light Frigate stood like a tower on the Port side allowing me to make evasive moves and even take cover. It didn’t take long before the hangar deck was largely clear, even the Axarli had retreated into the surrounding hallways and rooms to avoid being incinerated by the shuttle’s laser.
After they withdrew I had little to do but hover and wait for Nathan to arrive, Doc came into the cockpit once we had stopped firing “What now?”
“Until Nathan and my crew arrive there is not much we can do.” The Tilik had sided with the Separatists back during the war and Doc deciding to join us was beginning to bother me, why would he sign up for fleet duty only to abandon it?
“Doc, why are you here?”
He looked slightly puzzled at my question, “You mean why did I decide to join you and Nathan?”
“Yes, why would you sign up for fleet service in the Separatist army only to abandon your post now.”
“I didn’t sign up, you know we share our home planet with the Norold.”
I gave an affirmative gesture.
“Well since the Separatist council decided to rebuild the fleet they needed crews, and the Norold were quick to support the new fleet, they decided that every family of Norold and Tilik would provide one person for the fleet forces.
“This was easy for them, they have families of dozens each, but Tilik families are usually no more than five to eight, so to protect my family from reprisals and my mother from forced service I stepped in to replace her.”
Doc deflated in the co-pilot’s chair, I was aware that the Tilik were very peaceful before the Separatist war, many believed that they were not enthusiastic supporters of the Separatists, especially since the planet Ghoat was still a member of the federation despite being a Tilik colony.
“So, you figure that the Separatist fleet will write you off as a casualty now and your family will be safe.”
“Exactly, the Euterian Officers don’t know I am siding with you, my colleague understands and promised to keep it secret, the Fleet will compensate my family and send condolences.”
Through the window of the shuttle, I saw weapons fire again, a group of Axarli backing out of their cover position and under fire from a combination of Plasma Fire and the unmistakable streaks of white thunder that Nathan’s pistol issued forth.
I opened fire again, clearing away the Axarli that had broken cover, moments later Nathan emerged with twenty of the Doradul’s Crew and one Forgol captive, they were using Axarli sidearms and seemed to be carrying makeshift shields.
Axarli in other covered positions began firing on them so I lowered the shuttle and fired back, Nathan pushed his team toward the frigate and up the gangway.
I moved the shuttle to cover them as much as possible, taking dozens of hits from plasma casters, their rifles were not going to fell the shuttle quickly but the damage was already mounting up, soon my laser bank was down again and moments later navigation followed.
“Jin, we are about to launch.” Buddy’s voice sounded over my suit’s com system.
“OK, I am right behind you, I will need to dock soon, my navigation is out.” As soon as I finished speaking, my Warp drive went offline as well.
The Frigate began to ascend moments later, I turned and pushed out ahead of it escaping the weapons fire before anything else went down. The frigate soon followed and once it was clear of the battleship’s hangar its shuttle bay door rolled open and launched the emergency shuttle that was blocking my path.
The moment the bay was clear I manoeuvred into it, the frigate’s tractor beams bringing me to a safe landing, the bay doors closed and the ship jumped to warp moments later.
Doc and I disembarked from the shuttle and took the elevator to the bridge, there were a half dozen members of the Doradul crew here, manning stations. All but one were auxiliary bridge crew, ones that would take night shifts, the only member of the primary crew here was the Secondary Ops Officer, he and I shared the same rank, though he was technically my superior.
In the pilot’s seat was Nathan grinning his toothy grin at me, “Welcome to the Endeavour 2.”

I recently bought the Ugreen steam deck docking station and I'm wondering if you guys have SD connected to the hub whenever it's on the hub itself or do you connect the cable to the deck only when you're about to play? Is it even safe for the battery to have it connected at all times? Thank you.

Nemam neki budzet da iskesiram odmah, ali mi je okej da placam na rate. Ideja je da slobodno vreme, kojeg na poslu imam na pretek, iskoristim da ucim/vezbam itd. Non stop sam u autu, tako da su baterija i dobro osvetljenje bitni, a ako neko zna da li neki od ovih moze da se puni u autu preko kabla za telefon (auto ima usb-c uticnicu sa munjicom, valjda je to Thunderbolt), to bi bio ogroman plus. Bilo kakav savet je dobrodosao.

I have an Dell u3821dw ultrawide where I connect my work laptop via USB-C. My private PC is connected via DP. The peripherals are connected to the monitor and will switch to the right computer depending on selected input source.
I would like to go back to a 27" dual monitor setup instead. I'm thinking of connecting my private PC via DP as usual. I have a UGREEN KVM so I'm thinking that peripherals maybe should be connected to that so I can switch between the computers unless there is a different solution? And for the work laptop. I guess I need a docking station. I'm looking for a USB-C docking station with power delivery. Maybe something like Dell Dock WD19. But most monitors I'm looking at mostly have 1x DP and 1x HDMI. The DP ports will be occupied by my private PC and Dell Dock WD19 only has 1x HDMI.

I am looking to buy a docking station or a hub for a M1 Pro 2021.
I essentially need two USB Type A and two HDMI or two Display ports.
Any recommendations on which docking station or hub should I get that works with MacBook M1 Pro 2021
Budget of £200

I got a used Thinkpad X380 that I'm using with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for about a month for now, really happy with it, using it with an anker usb dock, and charging through the usb c port (it's thunderbolt if it's important) almost everyday, but suddenly two days ago it stopped working, the weird thing is that the port half works, it can delivery power to devices and can accept power provided by the 65w type c charger that I used to charge the pc this whole time. But it doesn't detect usb mice, doesn't detect usb drives, doesn't detect displays when connected via HDMI on the anker dongle, tried it with another dongle, it also doesn't work, tried the anker dongle on another pc running centOS and works fine.

My guess is that there is a software problem, be it thunderbolt or usb drivers, so I made sure to have the boltctl commands, and used boltctl list a and got this image.

Also updated the kernel just in case that was the problem.
Running rn on: Linux 6.1.0-1013-oem x86_64
Also, tried to run windows again to install lenovo firmware updates, and still got no response from the type c port
I have no captures of this, sadly
tried to run lsusb to see if there was something off, I say there's nothing wrong here, but my inexperience tells me there is something wrong

Also tried running modprobe to see if maybe it would make the port work?
