When you see “0% fragmented”, it is telling you that the file is stored contiguously.
In other words, defragmentation (or defragging) is not necessary for this file or drive.
In general, that’s a good thing, but with modern computer hardware and operating systems, managing fragmentation just isn’t as important.
Computer data recovery is expensive because it is difficult, involves expensive tools, often requires professional expertise, and is in high demand. The actual cost of any service will depend on what is required to salvage the data. That’s why the service can range from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars.
These days, using Discord Overlay should not be a problem and won’t get you banned. In the past, there were a lot of reports that Overlay could unintentionally get people banned. If that was ever the case, the issues seem to be resolved on a wide scale. You can use Overlay as much as you like.
By default, Telegram saves files on a PC according to the following file path: C: > Users > [Your Username] > AppData > Roaming > Telegram Desktop. If you want to delete any files, you can do it manually in the “Telegram Desktop” folder. You can also automatically manage Telegram files through the app’s settings.
Generally speaking, it’s at least frowned upon to use a company laptop to interview for a job with another company. In some cases, it could be illegal. In other cases, you can do it with relatively little risk or fallout. It completely depends on the nature of your job and your relationship with the company.
The USB port bottlenecks an external storage drive when the drive is capable of speeds that the port can’t handle. In data transfers, the slowest component dictates the speeds, so you want USB ports that can keep up. Fortunately, the most common USB port can keep up with the most common external drives.
In a technical sense, this is a safe idle temperature range for the vast majority of GPUs and CPUs. Idling at these temperatures won’t cause problems, but this is a higher-than-average range. Such idle temperatures could indicate general cooling problems that you will want to identify and resolve.
In most cases, you can leave your MacBook in clamshell mode without any problem. Apple has designed MacBooks to work with clamshell mode, so there is very little risk in leaving your Mac in this mode. Just make sure your MacBook doesn’t get too hot if you’re performing resource-intensive tasks.
With a modern Mac, FileVault typically does not impact performance at all. Modern hardware can handle encryption a lot faster than older systems, and Macs encrypt by default now. With older systems, it is possible for FileVault to use up resources to a point that general performance slows down across the Mac.
Unless there was a prior agreement in place that you could keep the laptop upon separation from employment, this would probably be against company policy and qualifies as employee theft. The company may hold any compensation due to you along with serious civil and criminal legal ramifications.
In the vast majority of cases, constantly charging your laptop does not harm the battery. In fact, more often than not, this practice actually extends the battery’s lifespan for the laptop, and it can help boost laptop performance. The only major concern is heat buildup, so make sure your laptop has good airflow.
Usually, frequently charging your laptop will not damage the battery or cause any major problems that you need to know about. Frequent charging does have a set of pros and cons, but when it comes to the battery, frequent charging often extends the battery’s lifespan. For the most part, you can charge whenever you want.
Yes. No matter what kind of device your computer uses for its primary data storage, if that storage is full enough, it will bog down your computer’s performance. In extreme cases, your computer will slow down to a point that makes it feel completely unusable. Fortunately, there are remedies to the problem.
Sophos can slow computers down, but that won’t always be the case. As a security software suite, it performs a lot of tasks, and if it is working hard on a computer that doesn’t have resources to spare, you’ll experience slowness. If Sophos doesn’t overtax your system, then you’ll never experience a problem.
Trend Micro certainly can slow down a computer, but that won’t always be the case. The performance impacts depend on how powerful your computer is, what services Trend Micro is running and how many security threats are being detected. You can customize your experience for better performance if needed.
When you need a significant investment from your boss for the sake of your job, it’s usually best to make a formal, written request. You can write a justification letter that clearly explains why the purchase is a good idea and how it benefits the company. From there, you can present your case and convince your boss.
