if it's a grounding issue, then anything from the usb port and down the line can be the cause. If you try the built in ports at the IO panel and have perfect results, then it could be your case's ports. If not, rip the item apart
hey has anyone here ever run into a "data-only" usb cable that doesn't charge your phone but allows you to tether without wasting your laptop's power
I've seen plenty of "charge-only" cables but rarely have seen data only
i had a few "data only" usb cables
i got them from the flee market
> tfw when my dumbass phone is leeching 9W of power from my laptop
isn't a data only cable just a cable with the +4.5V power lead (or 5, I don't remember) removed ?
yeah
can you guys get in voice chat and tell me if my mic quality is ok?
no (;
sorry boi
just use steam's mic test
call yourself in skype 😉
@Rey yep it's nothing special. just would rather buy one than mod one
I switched to wifi tether and my powertop usage dropped to 8 watts (from 24W) sheesh
Welcome @DeagleDad420!
i've run into a snag with the compute stick
it's only got 8gb of storage so i can't install windows
install a GNU/Linux distro of your choice
what about android x86
nah
that's a mobile OS
i might just try to mess with the install of ubuntu that it came with
meant for a touch screen
>Ubuntu
please
anything but Ubuntu
it gives GNU/Linux a bad name
it's what it came with and it was preconfigured with all of the drivers and such
i ordered an Intel i7 NUC the other day
