Games not running like they used to on legion laptop

0 Upvotes

Hello, I've a Lenovo legion laptop and I could play most AAA games on it without any problems until recently. Now games like GTA 5 & GTA 4 are lagging and they stop abruptly. I also clicked a picture of an error message displayed when I was trying to play GTA 5 last. It said 'ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT Failed Initialization. Please reboot and restart the game. Try reinstalling the game if this persists.

Please guide me as to what the issues can be. I really want to play games like I was able to earlier.

I am currently learning on Kali Linux and I do not know if all Wi-Fi adapters are supported on the system or if I want a specific type of them.

secondhand ubotie keyboard trouble

1 Upvotes

So I went to an estate sale and bought an ubotie keyboard and mouse, they said it worked. It's a "sweet wireless keyboard" with number pad, no USB port nor power switch. I only know its powered on from the battery light that flashes when I place the battery in. I've scoured the internet for information on how to pair it to my ipad. Tried holding down Fn+C and Fn+1 (for a while) and neither worked. I'm losing hope please help

If I tunnel a travel router to my home router using a VPN then go abroad, will my employer know I am abroad?

6 Upvotes

Not sure if this is reliable, it's just what I found searching online. I was looking at a travel router that can be tunneled to my home router in the US to prevent my employer from recognizing that I am abroad while logged into their laptop, and shows my home address as the IP.

I can't download any software on my work laptop so I imagine the travel router will need to have a VPN, and my plan is to use it via ethernet only with wifi turned off on the laptop.

Anyone know if this is reliable? And does the VPN have to be on the travel router in this case (since I can't add one to my work laptop)?

Good morning, basically I'm a professional photographer who specialises in sports. I need internet on my laptop for uploading photos mid game. My phone hotspot always struggles in stadiums and stadium WiFi is absolutely garbage.

Is there anything I can plug in to my laptop to give it high speed internet while I'm out and about?

Thanks

The screen of my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 13ACN5 goes black after it's being locked for a while, is it a hardware issue or a issue related to something else?

1 Upvotes

The screen of my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 13ACN5 goes black after it's being locked for a while. I bought the laptop in 2021 and the issue appeared in 2022 so I've been dealing with this issue 3 of the 4 years I own this laptop (At the time I wrote this post)

I did try basically everything imaginable so it would be a long list if I would have to mention everything I did one by one to solve the black screen issue. For example I did multiple clean installs of Windows 11 sinds the black screen issue on my laptop appeared but sadly without success.

I've then done some more research since I suspected that the black screen issue is a hardware issue. After that I had a discussion with ChatGPT about this issue and he mentioned that it could be a hardware issue.

I want to buy a new laptop with a larger screen after around 6 months from now because I want a laptop with a larger screen but since I'll be using my laptop until then and I want full clarity about the black screen issue I want to ask if the black screen issue is indeed a hardware issue or a issue related to something else.

Thanks in advance for your insight and help lastly!

Dash Cam Recommendations?

Was hoping to get recommendations on a dashcam. I guess I'm looking for something that records and uploads to a cloud based service automatically and is accessible from my phone. Is there anything like that?

Looking for iOS bot that can auto-play mini games inside a food delivery app

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, So there’s a food delivery app in my country that works kind of like Uber Eats. The app has built-in mini games (stuff like Flappy Bird or other type of minigames) where you can earn points if you get the highest scores. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to set up a bot or automation tool on iPhone that can play these games automatically and rack up points.

Does anyone know of any iOS tools, bots, or automation methods that could handle this?
