Lawyer? Only drug dealers need lawyers.revbob wrote: ↑21 Oct 2022, 8:48pmMore me venting than anything else. My sister reaches out because she needs to download and send some bank statements to a lawyer. I say ok but you cant just email the statements they likely have information you dont want to be potentially exposed like that thry need to be encrypted. And they need to be in a somewhat universal format so thd person on the other end can open them. Well she has no computer just an iPhone. So now I gotta walk her tbru all this stuff while she attempts to encrypt the files on what is a glorified toy. Me and my big mouth.

Re: I need a good boffin.
No but years ago when she just got into it I remember talking to my mom and asking how things were back home and she said something to the effect of "and your sister's still selling the drugs..." No attempt at humor whatsoever just very matter of fact. And I was like WTF she's selling drugs? and she goes "oh you know like for the doctor's offices".Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 9:42amDoes she use drug lingo like weed, acid, and “You wanna buy some illegal drugs from me?”revbob wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 8:56amWell funny enough she is a pharmaceutical sales rep so...Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2022, 6:17amLawyer?

Re: I need a good boffin.
Anyone know a good fix for the black screen of death on my laptop? Tried the instructions on Google to no avail.

Re: I need a good boffin.
Do you happen to know if it has an integrated or dedicated graphics card? Sounds like what I experienced with my older Nvidia 8600M GT when it started to fail.

Windows 10. Nothing at all on screen but lights are on at the front.

Not sure to be honest. It's just a Toshiba satellite I bought about 4 years ago.

Re: I need a good boffin.
That's what I was thinking—an external monitor or seeing if he can access it remotely once powered up.

Yeah Ive seen where laptops lose the native video because the cable gets stressed and breaks over time.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 9:01amThat's what I was thinking—an external monitor or seeing if he can access it remotely once powered up.
Next question for Heston if that doesnt work is was it a legit version of Win10 on there and do you need/want to retrieve flles from it?

Re: I need a good boffin.
My girlfriend has a monitor, how would I connect it? No odd sounds.

Re: I need a good boffin.
It should have a hdmi port or maybe a mini display port (google those terms to see what thry look like. Then you need a cable to connect one of those ports to the monitor. Depending on her monitor you might need an adapter of some sort to convert the connection.Heston wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 9:19amMy girlfriend has a monitor, how would I connect it? No odd sounds.
