I was perusing some items in a Target store one day, when I thought I would see if they carried in their inventory a mouse pad. I found in their mice and keyboards section a simple mouse pad. You see I am a real world computer technician, that earns a living assisting end users with computer and technology related problems.
I am not one of those condescending Youtube technology shills, that talk more about politics, then helping people learn and or fix their information technology problems. I found a Handstands basic mouse pad for $2.99. This mouse pad is not very thick.
If you are looking for a boom a rang that also can be used as a mouse pad, this one probably is not the right choice. Anyways, this mouse pad was all I needed. I work on a third party website where I need to have more precise mouse movements.
I have not purchased a mouse pad in decades. No joke. However, I have to be able to point and click my mouse more precisely.
Optical mice are usually pretty accurate on flat surfaces. For example granite, wood, kitchen counters, tables, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find this Handstands Basic Mouse Pad at Target of all stores.
Also, the price at $2.99 is appropriate, at least according to my wallet standards. This mouse pad is a petroleum based product. It is large enough for a Logitech gaming mouse I have.
I could not find this mouse pad on Handstands’ official website. Also, I could not find it listed on Target.com, even though I was looking in this same Target for a different product months later, and saw the same mouse pad in their inventory. Interestingly enough I found this Handstands basic mouse pad at Microcenter.com, for the exact same fucking price, $2.99.
If you just need a basic mouse pad because you are traveling, staying in a hotel, or in a recreational vehicle, then this Handstands basic mouse pad might work for you. This mouse pad is not very thick. Way less then an inch thick.
However, I have used it for months now, and it gets my job done, pun intended.
Handstands Basic Mouse Pad – Video Transcript
00:08 so very quickly this is a quick video 00:11 about a mouse pad that i purchased at 00:13 target i don’t know why the i came 00:16 back to youtube 00:17 and i’m making videos again i guess i’m 00:19 still mentally ill 00:20 as a computer technician that gets 00:23 yelled at and threatened at and those 00:24 are then that’s true 00:26 don’t ever go into this kind of 00:29 you know career i wouldn’t call this a 00:32 career 00:33 if you’re a computer if you’re thinking 00:34 about entering the information 00:36 technology sector 00:37 do not become help desk do not become 00:39 death side do not become 00:42 like you know trouble troubleshooting 00:45 or any any kind of support where you 00:47 deal with customers because you get all 00:50 kinds of 00:51 abuse anyways so quickly this is the 00:54 mouse pad 00:54 so i just needed a basic mousepad 00:56 because my job duties require it i stay 00:59 in hotels and like right now 01:03 the mouse is just fine on this cap this 01:06 cabinet 01:07 with drawers any wood surface or 01:10 any kind of a counter in a kitchen 01:12 that’s made out of 01:14 whatever it’s made out of whether it’s 01:18 you know wood or synthetic or even 01:22 maybe concrete type or whatever 01:26 sometimes mice just don’t work as well 01:29 just 01:29 without a mouse pad now if i 01:32 most of my time that i use a computer i 01:35 don’t need a mouse pad but 01:37 not getting into details i have to be 01:39 more precise 01:40 so quickly so here’s the mouse it’s very 01:43 thin i don’t know if you can tell 01:45 from here i’ll move it up closer to the 01:47 camera but i 01:48 i only paid 9.99 excuse me 9.99 299 01:53 and i’ll show you the website well i’ll 01:56 show you 01:56 a web page 02:00 of the mouse for a micro center so 02:03 quickly let me show you on camera how 02:04 thin it is 02:21 okay so hopefully you can tell it’s not 02:24 an inch it’s not 02:25 it’s nothing close to two inches or 02:28 even an inch it’s probably 02:33 wow 1 16 of an inch 1 8 whatever it’s 02:36 very thin 02:36 but if you just need a basic mouse pad 02:40 or what’s known as what i do with the 02:48 they call it a mouse mat so here’s the 02:50 original cardboard that came with 02:52 i like to keep the original packaging i 02:54 don’t make unboxing videos i just make 02:56 videos after the fact and i tell you 02:58 my experiences about these products that 03:00 i buy 03:01 so this is a universal works with all 03:03 mice mouse matte trademark 03:05 basic it says it’s a basic mouse hand 03:09 stands plural is the brand on the back 03:12 it says mouse mat 03:13 basic simple basica 03:17 basic mouse mat which is a trademark 03:21 i don’t know why the they 03:22 trademarked that i don’t know works with 03:24 all mice non-slip rubber base so it is 03:28 made out of petroleum product rubber so 03:31 that’s good 03:33 so if you’re at a hotel or a motel or a 03:36 recreational vehicle or 03:37 you’re somewhere where you need a mount 03:39 at starbucks 03:41 coffee shop mall wherever 03:44 you know what i’m saying getting beat 03:46 down by the gestapo i mean or you’re 03:48 at the united states capitol building 03:50 and you’re trying to take over the 03:51 capitol building and start a revolution 03:53 and you need a mouse pad you know what 03:55 i’m saying 03:57 then this is what you might want it’s 04:00 if you’re looking for a two inch or 04:01 three inch or a very thick mouse pad 04:04 no but but it is quite large actually i 04:06 don’t know if you can tell 04:11 it’s larger than most mice or mouse pads 04:14 that 04:14 you you know you can get at a store most 04:17 of them are smaller 04:18 but anyways at least when i go 04:22 look at computer store anywhere i’m at i 04:25 look at 04:25 computer equipment i’m like yeah it’s 04:28 like you ever notice that they sell you 04:30 the small 04:31 wireless mice even though they they have 04:34 big ones but 04:35 they’re hard to find or i don’t know 04:36 maybe i don’t whatever maybe it’s just 04:37 me 04:38 okay anything else let me show you the 04:41 if you’re interested 04:42 in buying it what you can look for 05:02 okay so this is what oh i think it did 05:06 have some 05:06 cheap plastic well some thin plastic 05:08 wrapping around 05:10 and then there’s a little sticky on the 05:12 cardboard and it was sticking on that so 05:15 there it is so yeah so that way all 05:17 right and so here’s my mouse all right 05:19 so let’s quickly 05:23 rapido quickly is not where i bought it 05:26 i bought it at target 05:27 i was just i i needed a mouse is what i 05:30 was looking for a mouse 05:32 at a target and a local target and i was 05:35 like you know what i could use a mouse 05:36 pad and they actually had 05:38 one it was the only one it was like in 05:39 the keyboard section 05:41 there were no mice around over there or 05:44 i don’t know it was like the keyboards 05:45 and 05:46 my section but 05:49 i think the mice and the keyboards 05:51 weren’t even in the same aisle 05:52 whatever just go to target go you could 05:54 go to the electronics section where the 05:56 televisions 05:57 and the computers and the playstations 06:00 and that crap 06:01 wherever you know their electronic 06:03 section and maybe look for the mouse or 06:05 the 06:06 keyboard aisle and i found it 06:09 in like a bottom shelf by it just 06:11 sitting there 06:12 i was like holy that’s exactly what 06:15 i need i just needed a 06:17 basic mouse pad and it was only 2.99 06:20 now this is it micro center they charge 06:22 the same and then 06:23 quickly quickly so it’s just a hand 06:26 stand brand basic mouse pad 2.99 06:29 and check out their this is exactly what 06:34 why i needed it this mouse pad is 06:36 constructed of long-lasting polyester 06:37 i’ve had it for what 06:39 i don’t know three four months now and 06:42 non-skid 06:43 natural rubber so it is petroleum-based 06:46 it improves mouse tracking and 06:47 responsiveness 06:48 that’s exactly what i needed i don’t 06:51 want to go into details but on this 06:52 website where i earn supplemental income 06:55 helping people with their computer and 06:56 technology problems and then i get 06:58 yelled at 06:59 and threatened with lawsuits and that’s 07:01 not a joke that that’s all true 07:03 i get yelled at i get cussed at like the 07:05 other day somebody threw that two people 07:08 i think on the same day they threatened 07:11 to 07:11 sue me because i didn’t respond fast 07:13 enough and i’m not making that up 07:15 americans are just they drive me insane 07:18 americans give me the most trouble 07:20 anyways 07:23 in order for me to perform my job duties 07:25 i have to be quick 07:27 it’s not that as easy as you think it’s 07:29 not like i there’s a list of 07:31 computer problems that i i can just 07:34 browse through and i can just click on 07:36 it 07:36 on one and take my time no they all 07:39 flood in at the same time 07:41 so if there’s like a thousand new 07:44 requests for help 07:45 they all come in in the same queue at 07:47 the same time 07:49 and there’s enough coverage there’s 07:50 enough technicians that you 07:52 literally have to click quick let me 07:54 i’ll give you that much 07:56 that that’ll be a hint you can’t just 07:58 take your own time all right so anyways 08:01 tracking and responsiveness so the mouse 08:02 pad is good enough for that 08:04 okay so that’s it that’s my video and 08:07 this is over time now you primarily left 08:10 but so if you need a just a basic mouse 08:13 pad 08:14 now they i did not buy it at micro 08:16 center but it looks they 08:17 they sell at microsoft i don’t know if 08:18 they sell that same brand at walmart but 08:20 you could 08:21 you might want to check walmart when i 08:23 tried to look it up i wanted to show you 08:25 the advertisement 08:26 on target.com but they don’t even show 08:28 it listed anymore i don’t even know if 08:29 they sell them anymore 08:30 but they did they did sell another 08:34 handstand brand mouse pad 08:37 i think it was thicker it was smaller 08:38 and it had a wrist guard it had a wrist 08:41 pad 08:42 so and it was what 4.99 now this one is 08:45 is 08:45 is good quality i’ve had it for months 08:47 and months now 08:48 and it doesn’t it it gets a little bit 08:51 dingy i need to clean it 08:53 with water once in a while but i don’t 08:55 think it’s gonna like 08:56 you know shred apart it’s good i think 08:58 it’s gonna last for a long time 09:00 you know what i’m saying but it’s only 09:01 three dollars but so quickly this is 09:06 overtime 09:09 i i may or i may not ever make 09:12 technology well 09:13 troubleshooting tips videos because i do 09:16 this for a living every day and quite 09:17 frankly i get sick and tired of 09:19 dealing with computer problems 09:21 and i get sick and tired of people in 09:23 their attitudes 09:24 they’re angry americans 09:28 are fueled by their emotions and they 09:31 refuse to 09:32 use logic let me say that again 09:35 americans are 09:37 fueled by emotion 09:40 and they refuse to use logic and you 09:43 might be able to argue that they 09:46 are fueled by emotion because they 09:48 refuse to use logic 09:50 instead of becoming emotional and 09:53 becoming a metrosexual little 09:56 relax and use logic 10:00 you try to use your brain 10:03 okay so in the future i plan on 10:05 recording a video about an onn hdmi 10:08 cable 10:12 that i got for what seven dollars i 10:14 bought 10:15 a western digital easy store usb 3.0 10:18 flash drive 32 gigabyte 32 gigabyte for 10:21 six dollars 10:22 a western digital and it works good oh 10:25 those on and usb flash drives are not 10:27 very good i don’t recommend them anymore 10:29 but whatever that was 10:31 i might talk about that in that future 10:33 video another future video 10:34 i bought in in a max usb 10:38 wi-fi that i gained a lot 10:41 stronger signal and i’m able to see i 10:43 would say 10:44 anywhere from five to ten more 10:47 five to ten times more wi-fi signals 10:51 so instead of receiving five i might be 10:53 able to get 20 30 or 40 10:55 and especially if i you know put my 10:57 computer up by a window 10:59 all right so that’s the future that’s 11:00 just the packaging that i’m just 11:02 throwing on the floor 11:03 and then another future video i bought a 11:06 logitech mouse it’s a gaming mouse but i 11:08 needed a better one 11:10 and online these are advertised for 11:13 about five times as much i that i pay 11:15 for i bought 11:16 this at a target on clearance and i’ll 11:19 tell you about that 11:20 i may or may not make you know 11:23 troubleshooting videos helping you with 11:25 your computer problems giving you tips 11:27 and 11:27 tricks and instructions i don’t know

Another information technology problem occurring in the world order. This time I started receiving, no pun intended, a problem with my email server not receiving new email messages. Postfix mail stuck in queue is basically the problemo in a nut shell.
Administering your very own email server, can at times become a pain in the ass. However, the benefits versus using someone elses email service are productive enough for me to justify. I noticed all of the sudden I was not receiving any email.
I had not installed any updates to my email server in weeks. I logged into my control panel and I noticed some emails in the “deferred” que. Without going into too much technical jargon, the deferred que is for email messages that for whatever reason, are not successfully delivered to their destination.
Depending on your control panel, you may see these menu options listed below. Obviously, you will want to browse to your email section of your control panel.
Refresh
Process Queue
Remove Everything
Maildrop
Incoming
Hold
Active
Deferred
You can click on “Process Queue” which will send or receive any email messages on your server. I actually clicked on this button and I started receiving email messages again. However, the same problem occurred the next time I checked my email with my client software.
You can view email messages that are marked as “Defferred” by going into the deferred queue. Also, you can remove individual email messages or click on “Remove Everything”. Caveat emptor, you probably want to view your messages first before choosing this option.
Unless, you are being attacked with a huge amount of spam messages. By viewing each individual message you can obtain Internet Protocol address, from sender email address, etc. This can allow you to make sure that you do not accidentally remove any important email messages.
Actually, you can view the sender email address or organization, just by viewing the different queues, incoming, active, hold, deferred, etc. You can delete individual messages and groups of messages with “Remove selected” or something similar option. My Postfix mail stuck in queue problem did not disappear just by clicking on “Process Queue”.
That is a temporary work around. I do not want to have to fucking manually process the email queue each and everytime I want to check for email. However, I don’t like to waste much time checking email to begin with.
You can check the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf file. You can look for a properly formulated line(s) in this file. Here is an example entry you might see in your /etc/resolv.conf file on your email server:
This last line in the example, should actually be all on one line. WordPress may have butchered it with their crappy Gutenberg editor. Anyways, make sure that there are spaces between the declarations.
There should be a space in between myserver.governmentsucks.com and 127.0.0.1. Those are separate declarations, that needs a space in between for the /etc/resolv.conf file to become processed correctly. Also, you can enter in the following command in a command line on your Linux email server.
ifconfig
You should see your email server network connection information, including the Internet Protocol address. Also, you should see the loopback device. Another place you can check for information that might help you troubleshoot your Postfix mail stuck in queue problem, is your email server log files.
Depending on what type of email server you have, you can look in the /var/log folder. You can view your “maillog” or something similar file. You want to look for any error messages or any details to help you fix your Postfix mail stuck in queue problem.
You can use these commands to view your maillog file on Linux.
tail -f maillog
vi maillog
Remember, there are alot of assholes and bitches on the Internet trying to send you spam, trying to circumvent your email server, trying to use it to send spam, etc. There maybe quite a few false positives, warnings, hacking attempts documented in this maillog file or similar log file. You want to look for any messages related to the Postfix mail queue not processing automatically.
These instructions were written for Postfix email server on Linux. However, you could possibly use these troubleshooting tips on other email servers with different Linux operating system distributions.

Are you needing to contact Amazon seller support phone number? If you need immediate assistance with Amazon seller support you can dial toll free 1-866-216-1072. Then you want to dial the number 0 for you to contact an operator.
Now you will want to ask for the correct Amazon support department. For example seller account or individual account support. You may have to wait on hold, until an Amazon customer service representative answers your telephone call.
Also, you can submit an Amazon support request form online. You will want to choose the correct category and subcategory of your problem, if necessary. You may be prompted to log into your Amazon account.
Amazon support can be quite difficult to contact, as some of their telephone numbers are not necessarily posted out in the open so to speak on their Amazon.com website. However, if you perform enough Internet searches, you may stumble upon more detailed contact information. Also, what I noticed with Amazon, is that many of their support web pages with more detailed information, are only accessible with an Amazon account.
Another issue with Amazon support in general, is that some areas of their website may not be linked to from their main Amazon website or even a subdomain like sellercentral.amazon.com. What I mean is that certain areas of their support website(s) are hidden in plain site. You may not be required to log into your Amazon account to access a certain area.
However, it is not really linked to or advertised so to speak from main Amazon website(s). For example if you could not get a hold of a live Amazon seller customer service support agent, you could submit your problem in their Amazon seller forums. You will need to log in with your Amazon account in order to submit a new post however.
I have actually sold some items on Amazon before. Believe it or not I have sold books on Amazon as a computer technician. Also, I have sold some desktop computers on Amazon.
Amazon is actually quite easy to sell on. Most items already have a template listing. You can add additional informaiton and even photographs to your listing.
I had to call into Amazon seller support one time. Some clown on Amazon was demanding that I refund their money and allow them to keep an item. This was early on when I first started selling items on Amazon.
I called into their seller central customer service via the telephone number I gave you earlier in this article, to receive further information. It turned out that I did not need to allow the customer to keep the item, as well as refund their entire payment. Chances are it was some scam artist, that was trying to receive an item for free.
Anyways, I had to perform some Internet searches in order to find the Amazon seller support phone number to begin with. This was perplexing to me as I thought it should be readily available on one of their main web pages. When I did call into Amazon seller support, I did have to wait on hold.
However, their customer service agent was very helpful. I have not sold any items on Amazon in a few years now. I will give you one tip that I learned when selling items on Amazon.
Depending on the category, you can receive more money for your item(s) on Amazon compared to eBay or even Craigslist. I was able to sell used computers on Amazon and received quite a bit more money than I had when I sold used computers on Craigslist and eBay. The same exact model of computer or quite close to is more valuable on Amazon.
It may depend on the category, subcategory, niche, etc. but quite often I received more compensation for items on Amazon compared to Craigslist and eBay. Amazon also does not require that you have feedback. eBay can be a pain in the ass to sell on as a beginner because buyers seem to think you need feedback to become a legitimate seller.
Amazon buyers don’t care if you have feedback or not. Amazon buyers can leave feedback, but many did not, when I sold items. Hopefully, you are able to contact Amazon seller support phone number.
Another information technology problem in the world order. This time I was having problems with a third party website that I just recently converted from a WordPress content management system website to a hyper text markup language static website. One of the issues I noticed was that the HTML5 audio player not working in Mozilla Firefox web browser.
You see hyper text markup language version 5 has support for embedded media. You can use the built in <audio> tag to play audio. For example you could provide the playback of songs or even live radio.
However, to my chagrin the embedded HTML5 audio player not working problem only occurred in Mozilla Firefox web browser. As a web devoloper, webmaster, website owner, etc. it is always a good idea to test your websites functionality. Especially, in different web browsers, as currently not all web browsers support the same type of Internet technology.
I am not an exclusive web developer so I did not know that Mozilla Firefox web browser does actually natively support MP3 audio playback, at least at the time of this blog post creation. However, with this hyper text markup language code below, my live audio stream would not work in Mozilla Firefox web browser.
I tested the web page with the embedded audio player and viola I could hear audio in Mozilla Firefox web browser. This Stack Overlow question response claims that both Mozilla Firefox and Opera web browsers prefer playing OGGing audio files instead of Moving Picture Experts Group audio layer 3 files also known as MP3. Ironically, Mozilla Firefox supports Moving Picture Experts Group audio layer 3 files in their official documentation.
Also, I did not independently verify whether or not the live streaming audio would work in Opera web browser. I have not installed or used Opera web browser in years. However, as a amateur web developer of sorts, I guess I had better install it one day for website testing purposes.
Interestingly enough Mozilla Firefox web browser supports these audio formats:
.wav
.wave
vorbis
.ogg
.opus
.oga
.ogv
.ogx
.spx
.flac
.mp3
I fixed another information technology HTML5 audio player not working quagmire, for now at least.

0:00:43.200,0:00:47.280 that goon editor i’ll just be blunt
0:00:45.120,0:00:48.399 and honest that’s one that’s the main
0:00:47.280,0:00:50.719 reason why
0:00:48.399,0:00:51.440 i’m converting anet computers.com to
0:00:50.719,0:00:53.440 static
0:00:51.440,0:00:55.039 hypertext markup language all right so
0:00:53.440,0:00:57.600 now this deals with another website
0:00:55.039,0:01:00.000 which i will not disclose
0:00:57.600,0:01:02.320 and i converted that website from that
0:01:00.000,0:01:06.720 god awful good editor and wordpress to
0:01:02.320,0:01:09.520 static html hypertext markup language
0:01:06.720,0:01:10.400 i was live streaming audio on that
0:01:09.520,0:01:12.640 website
0:01:10.400,0:01:14.400 and then i tested it because you know i
0:01:12.640,0:01:15.280 converted the website and so you want to
0:01:14.400,0:01:18.320 test
0:01:15.280,0:01:20.240 and the audio would not work in mozilla
0:01:18.320,0:01:23.280 firefox web browser
0:01:20.240,0:01:26.960 and i was stumped i was like
0:01:23.280,0:01:29.680 incredulous with a chagrin
0:01:26.960,0:01:30.799 and i was like what the fuck so here is
0:01:29.680,0:01:34.000 the solution
0:01:30.799,0:01:36.159 if you have problems streaming audio or
0:01:34.000,0:01:41.840 getting audio to play
0:01:36.159,0:01:41.840 in hyper text markup language
0:01:42.079,0:01:45.520 with the audio tag
0:01:46.479,0:01:49.759 in mozilla firefox and also possibly
0:01:48.880,0:01:52.640 opera
0:01:49.759,0:01:53.360 here is the possible fix this is what
0:01:52.640,0:01:55.920 fixed
0:01:53.360,0:01:57.119 my problem here is the code so let me
0:01:55.920,0:01:59.920 quickly describe
0:01:57.119,0:02:00.719 the code now in hypertext markup
0:01:59.920,0:02:03.680 language
0:02:00.719,0:02:06.000 the current version is five you are able
0:02:03.680,0:02:07.680 to embed both audio and video
0:02:06.000,0:02:09.920 because it has a built-in audio and
0:02:07.680,0:02:11.360 video player it’s not the bling bling
0:02:09.920,0:02:13.920 bling it’s not
0:02:11.360,0:02:16.480 you know holly weird style it’s not even
0:02:13.920,0:02:16.720 las vegas style with the flashing lights
0:02:16.480,0:02:20.640 and
0:02:16.720,0:02:22.800 oh my god the the most gorgeous
0:02:20.640,0:02:23.760 you know media player on the planet oh
0:02:22.800,0:02:26.879 my god no
0:02:23.760,0:02:27.360 it has a basic audio player but it works
0:02:26.879,0:02:31.360 very
0:02:27.360,0:02:33.760 well this is my original code
0:02:31.360,0:02:36.160 so in hypertext markup language you use
0:02:33.760,0:02:39.680 you can use this tag
0:02:36.160,0:02:43.760 to stream and play audio
0:02:39.680,0:02:45.599 in your website audio controls that’s
0:02:43.760,0:02:50.319 the opening tag
0:02:45.599,0:02:53.760 controls tells it to load controls like
0:02:50.319,0:02:57.120 you know volume adjustment
0:02:53.760,0:02:58.720 etc you can use the you can take out the
0:02:57.120,0:03:00.239 controls if you wanted to and it would
0:02:58.720,0:03:02.560 just be the audio tag but i don’t want
0:03:00.239,0:03:05.519 to digress about the specifics
0:03:02.560,0:03:06.000 of each you know tag in hypertext markup
0:03:05.519,0:03:07.840 language
0:03:06.000,0:03:09.200 because i’m really not an expert but i
0:03:07.840,0:03:11.280 know how to code some
0:03:09.200,0:03:12.239 all right now you have to tell the
0:03:11.280,0:03:14.879 source
0:03:12.239,0:03:16.720 so this second line is just telling
0:03:14.879,0:03:20.400 hypertext markup language
0:03:16.720,0:03:20.400 this the source of the audio
0:03:20.480,0:03:27.120 so that it will play in an embedded
0:03:23.680,0:03:30.319 player on the web page
0:03:27.120,0:03:32.319 and then you tell the hypertext markup
0:03:30.319,0:03:33.840 language what is the type what is the
0:03:32.319,0:03:37.200 type of audio
0:03:33.840,0:03:37.200 that you’re wanting me to play
0:03:37.920,0:03:45.519 and audio slash mpeg is actually for mp3
0:03:42.480,0:03:49.360 so officially mozilla firefox supports
0:03:45.519,0:03:50.959 mp3 although mp3 i think requires a
0:03:49.360,0:03:52.560 license i could be wrong but i think
0:03:50.959,0:03:53.920 mozilla has to pay a license fee in
0:03:52.560,0:03:57.680 order for you to
0:03:53.920,0:04:00.799 have the ability to play mp3 audio
0:03:57.680,0:04:04.319 in their web browser mozilla firefox
0:04:00.799,0:04:05.519 now og which i will get to is an open
0:04:04.319,0:04:09.599 source codec
0:04:05.519,0:04:09.599 they don’t require a licensing fee
0:04:10.480,0:04:15.840 however according to a stack overflow
0:04:16.320,0:04:20.239 question post that i found
0:04:21.040,0:04:24.960 both mozilla firefox and opera they
0:04:23.600,0:04:27.759 don’t they support
0:04:24.960,0:04:29.280 mp3 but they don’t necessarily like to
0:04:27.759,0:04:31.360 support it
0:04:29.280,0:04:33.040 it doesn’t work very well so this is
0:04:31.360,0:04:35.759 what fixed my problem
0:04:33.040,0:04:37.919 now here’s the closing tag slash audio
0:04:35.759,0:04:42.960 in hypertext markup language
0:04:37.919,0:04:46.479 the forward slash closes the tag
0:04:42.960,0:04:49.120 it tells the interpreter stop
0:04:46.479,0:04:50.880 stop with the audio controls stop right
0:04:49.120,0:04:53.759 now
0:04:50.880,0:04:55.600 here’s the second line that i added to
0:04:53.759,0:04:57.199 fix my problem
0:04:55.600,0:05:00.240 it’s just this line right here that i
0:04:57.199,0:05:03.199 highlighted it i’m telling it the source
0:05:00.240,0:05:04.560 of the audio it could be an mp3 file it
0:05:03.199,0:05:07.759 could be
0:05:04.560,0:05:08.800 the destination on the web server to an
0:05:07.759,0:05:11.199 mp3 or
0:05:08.800,0:05:12.400 another audio file obviously this is not
0:05:11.199,0:05:14.240 but i’m not going to get into the
0:05:12.400,0:05:16.560 details here
0:05:14.240,0:05:17.680 this is what fixed it i added in this
0:05:16.560,0:05:21.199 type
0:05:17.680,0:05:23.520 so i added two types two lines
0:05:21.199,0:05:24.800 with the same source but with two
0:05:23.520,0:05:28.080 different
0:05:24.800,0:05:31.600 audio types type equals
0:05:28.080,0:05:34.639 audio slash og ogg
0:05:31.600,0:05:37.120 is an open source audio codec that both
0:05:34.639,0:05:39.680 mazuro firefox and opera supports
0:05:37.120,0:05:41.039 and it’s open source and so you don’t
0:05:39.680,0:05:43.120 have to pay a licensing fee
0:05:41.039,0:05:44.639 you know what i’m saying and that’s what
0:05:43.120,0:05:46.240 fixed it i don’t know why that is i
0:05:44.639,0:05:48.560 don’t know if it’s a glitch or a bug
0:05:46.240,0:05:50.560 with mozilla firefox web browser
0:05:48.560,0:05:52.160 but according to the post from stack
0:05:50.560,0:05:55.360 overflow
0:05:52.160,0:05:58.479 i guess it you know both mozilla firefox
0:05:55.360,0:05:58.800 and opera web browsers and notorious for
0:05:58.479,0:06:02.000 not
0:05:58.800,0:06:02.560 necessarily being you know mp3 friendly
0:06:02.000,0:06:04.960 even though
0:06:02.560,0:06:07.280 both web browsers support mp3 so i’m
0:06:04.960,0:06:08.319 just not 100 certain all i know is i fix
0:06:07.280,0:06:10.240 the problem
0:06:08.319,0:06:12.240 now when i went back to that and i can’t
0:06:10.240,0:06:14.080 demonstrate because it’s a third-party
0:06:12.240,0:06:15.919 website it’s an activist website
0:06:14.080,0:06:17.600 and i will never ever discuss it because
0:06:15.919,0:06:20.160 of the american
0:06:17.600,0:06:21.520 communist socialist americans that do
0:06:20.160,0:06:23.840 not want to become free
0:06:21.520,0:06:25.600 they are commies their control freaks
0:06:23.840,0:06:26.080 they will snitch on you they will troll
0:06:25.600,0:06:28.560 you
0:06:26.080,0:06:31.120 they will swat you ad nauseum at
0:06:28.560,0:06:31.120 infinite
0:06:32.880,0:06:38.160 but if you run into this problem where
0:06:35.039,0:06:39.120 for whatever reason html5 audio player
0:06:38.160,0:06:41.840 is not working
0:06:39.120,0:06:43.759 in mozilla firefox web browser this is a
0:06:41.840,0:06:46.800 potential fix
0:06:43.759,0:06:51.440 you you tell you you give the
0:06:46.800,0:06:53.840 html you stipulate two types of audio
0:06:51.440,0:06:55.039 and it actually fixed it before it would
0:06:53.840,0:06:57.520 not work with this
0:06:55.039,0:06:58.720 tag or excuse me with this type i don’t
0:06:57.520,0:07:01.039 know why that’s bizarre
0:06:58.720,0:07:02.639 but when i added the audio alt tag it
0:07:01.039,0:07:06.080 worked and
0:07:02.639,0:07:07.440 i’m my streamer the streams audio alive
0:07:06.080,0:07:11.680 24 hours a day on this
0:07:07.440,0:07:14.960 website it’s actually
0:07:11.680,0:07:17.440 the variable i stipulated was mp3
0:07:14.960,0:07:19.599 so it’s streaming in mp3 but it won’t
0:07:17.440,0:07:22.560 play in mp3 in mozilla firefox
0:07:19.599,0:07:23.680 so i added aug as a type and it and it
0:07:22.560,0:07:27.360 plays now
0:07:23.680,0:07:27.360 i added the additional
0:07:27.440,0:07:32.160 line right here underneath this one in
0:07:30.479,0:07:33.599 between the two tags in between the
0:07:32.160,0:07:36.880 opening and the closing
0:07:33.599,0:07:39.919 i saved it the changes on my web server
0:07:36.880,0:07:42.400 i cleared the web browser cache
0:07:39.919,0:07:44.000 for mozilla and i refreshed that page
0:07:42.400,0:07:46.240 and bam
0:07:44.000,0:07:47.759 it loaded the player correctly if if it
0:07:46.240,0:07:49.759 doesn’t if it will not play
0:07:47.759,0:07:51.039 it could be it could be just you know a
0:07:49.759,0:07:52.800 coding error
0:07:51.039,0:07:54.479 or in this instance it didn’t like the
0:07:52.800,0:07:57.680 type i don’t know why that is
0:07:54.479,0:07:58.319 the button will be grayed out the button
0:07:57.680,0:08:00.000 will
0:07:58.319,0:08:01.680 will not be grayed out and you’ll be
0:08:00.000,0:08:04.560 able to click on it
0:08:01.680,0:08:06.720 if the stream loads correctly it loaded
0:08:04.560,0:08:10.400 correctly i clicked on play and bam
0:08:06.720,0:08:13.360 is start playing so that is my solution
0:08:10.400,0:08:13.840 and you can check out my blog post where
0:08:13.360,0:08:15.840 i
0:08:13.840,0:08:17.280 you know discuss more about this and
0:08:15.840,0:08:18.639 then you can check out the code that
0:08:17.280,0:08:21.479 you’ll need to enter
0:08:18.639,0:08:23.440 now this is for audio only this is for
0:08:21.479,0:08:25.680 html5
0:08:23.440,0:08:26.800 hypertext markup language and this is
0:08:25.680,0:08:32.399 for embedding
0:08:26.800,0:08:35.200 the the built-in audio player that html5
0:08:32.399,0:08:37.039 includes now and how to get it to work
0:08:35.200,0:08:38.240 in mozilla firefox and opera i did not
0:08:37.039,0:08:40.959 test an opera
0:08:38.240,0:08:41.760 i have not installed opera web browser
0:08:40.959,0:08:45.200 in like
0:08:41.760,0:08:47.200 what a century i mean yeah
0:08:45.200,0:08:49.360 five years at least because i never
0:08:47.200,0:08:50.320 really liked opera yeah it worked okay i
0:08:49.360,0:08:53.839 just did
0:08:50.320,0:08:55.760 the interface the graphical user
0:08:53.839,0:08:57.600 interface is just kind of
0:08:55.760,0:08:59.519 i’m sorry but for me it was kind of
0:08:57.600,0:09:02.480 jankety
0:08:59.519,0:09:04.800 i know that slang oh i know you pale
0:09:02.480,0:09:06.959 skinned european supremacists
0:09:04.800,0:09:08.000 number you hate us people with color and
0:09:06.959,0:09:10.160 especially you don’t like
0:09:08.000,0:09:11.839 it when we use slang or we don’t use
0:09:10.160,0:09:15.839 proper european
0:09:11.839,0:09:18.160 terms all right it was janky but
0:09:15.839,0:09:20.240 you know i should probably install opera
0:09:18.160,0:09:22.560 so i could test properly i did have i
0:09:20.240,0:09:25.839 don’t like mozilla firefox web browser
0:09:22.560,0:09:27.360 it’s bloated it’s it’s largest although
0:09:25.839,0:09:29.680 i will say recently
0:09:27.360,0:09:32.640 when i do use it to test my website it
0:09:29.680,0:09:34.640 seems to be functioning faster
0:09:32.640,0:09:37.279 and whereas a couple of months ago i’m
0:09:34.640,0:09:39.519 like what the fuck is this shit
0:09:37.279,0:09:41.200 it is indeed a brave new world for
0:09:39.519,0:09:44.640 people with color in the european pale
0:09:41.200,0:09:48.000 skin supremacist world order
0:09:44.640,0:09:50.000 the web bras are brave you know it loads
0:09:48.000,0:09:52.480 it up pretty quick but fucking mozilla
0:09:50.000,0:09:53.920 firefox but now recently it’s much much
0:09:52.480,0:09:56.320 quicker i’m not sure why that is but i
0:09:53.920,0:09:59.440 do not rely on mozilla firefox but i i
0:09:56.320,0:10:01.279 understand that a lot of individuals
0:09:59.440,0:10:02.720 on the internet they will use mozilla
0:10:01.279,0:10:04.959 firefox they will use
0:10:02.720,0:10:06.640 opera and they will use chrome i did not
0:10:04.959,0:10:09.279 test in chrome
0:10:06.640,0:10:10.000 now brave is based upon chromium but
0:10:09.279,0:10:12.800 it’s not
0:10:10.000,0:10:14.720 exactly like google chrome web browser
0:10:12.800,0:10:17.200 so but i should probably
0:10:14.720,0:10:18.000 install well let’s see i guess i should
0:10:17.200,0:10:21.440 just install
0:10:18.000,0:10:22.240 every web browser ever built including
0:10:21.440,0:10:25.440 netscape
0:10:22.240,0:10:26.560 and how about links the text only i mean

Another computer operating system problem with a Microsoft corporation operating system. This time Microsoft Windows Vista updates endusers would encounter Microsoft Windows update never finding any updates.
As an enduser you would search for Microsoft Windows updates and it would be a never ending search. Microsoft Windows Vista operating system would actually never find any new updates. I was also having this proverbial Microsoft operating system quagmire.
Initially, I was using a Dell desktop computer with Microsoft Windows Vista service pack two installed. I thought I was a genius by reinstalling Microsoft Vista, including service pack two. What a colossal failure that lack of brilliant idea was.
I finally found the solution to fix this problem where Microsoft Windows Vista updates never finds any updates. What initially fixed this problem was to install these five Microsoft updates in order by number. You want to install the oldest Microsoft Windows updates first in numerical order.
What you want to do is install all of the a fore mentioned five Microsoft updates for your exact Microsoft Vista operating system. If you have Microsoft Vista x86 32 bit operating system, then install the x86 32 bit updates. If you have Microsoft Vista x64 64 bit operating system, then install the x64 64 bit updates.
Installing the a fore mentioned five Microsoft updates no longer fixed the problem with Microsoft Vista operating system never finding any updates to install. Now you would want to install these five Microsoft operating system updates in numerical order. Install the oldest first numerically.
Microsoft Corporation no longer supports Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. What this means is that no operating system and security updates will be available in the future for Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. In all intents and purposes they have retired Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
April of two thousand seventeen was the last month that any Microsoft Windows Vista updates were available for this operating system to download. The following is a list of the last available Microsoft Windows Vista updates.
WordPress 5.5 was recently released for production use. One interesting new feature with WordPress 5.5 is a built in sitemap. However, by default this feature is turned on.
I was a bit confused as to where this sitemap is located. There are quite a few WordPress plugins that are free or paid for that you can use to create a sitemap. Now this sitemap I am talking about is for search engines like Bing, Google, etc.
You see search engines often times look for Uniform Resource Locators by browsing a website’s robots.txt file. Generally, the robots.txt file is located in the document root folder of a website on the server side. For example:
/home/user/public_html/robots.txt
Now not all web servers have the same directory structure to your websites root folder location. The WordPress 5.5 sitemap is actually located at this example below.
http://www.governmentsucks.com/wp-sitemap.xml
According to this WordPress 5.5 sitemap core blog post, WordPress 5.5 now automatically creates a sitemap by default named sitemap.xml.
http://www.governmentsucks.com/sitemap.xml
However, this file does not exist, because actually I had disabled a free plugin that would create a sitemap.xml file for Bing, Google, etc. search engines. I actually found this sitemap instead, wp-sitemap.xml. You see before WordPress 5.5, you had to either manually create a sitemap or install a plugin in order to have a sitemap for Bing, Google, etc. search engines.
Also, the new WordPress 5.5 is supposed to automatically change your robots.txt file with the new default WordPress 5.5 sitemap. However, this website you are reading this blog post on, did not have an updated robots.txt file after I upgraded WordPress to 5.5. Actually, I had upgraded another one of my websites that I administer, and I found this entry in that websites robots.txt file.
The most important line is the one above highlighted with bold font. I browsed to:
http://www.anetcomputers.com/wp-sitemap.xml
Sure enough the new WordPress 5.5 sitemap had been successfully created. I went ahead and manually edited this domain’s robots.txt file with the correct Sitemap: declaration. Also, I updated my Google Webmasters sitemap declaration for the WordPress 5.5 sitemap.
You do not necessarily need to include information in both your Google Webmasters account and or robots.txt file about your sitemap location. Some search robots will ignore this file. Also, it is well known that Google indexes websites now a days without you evening notifying their search robot about your websites sitemap file.
Finally, I had already disabled the plugin that had created the old sitemap.xml file. I went ahead and deleted this plugin. I am satisfied for now with this built in WordPress 5.5 sitemap. In summation, if you are confused as to the location of your WordPress 5.5 sitemap, look for sitemap.xml or wp-sitemap.xml using my example domain name above.

0:00:01.599,0:00:07.040 all right well i believe
0:00:03.360,0:00:09.040 i am live and these motherfuckers at
0:00:07.040,0:00:13.360 youtube i’m telling you
0:00:09.040,0:00:16.960 they they fucking changed the goddamn
0:00:13.360,0:00:20.400 streaming platform when on the back end
0:00:16.960,0:00:24.160 it you it used to ask you to click on
0:00:20.400,0:00:26.320 go live you would hit your encoder
0:00:24.160,0:00:27.599 and start streaming and then you had to
0:00:26.320,0:00:30.640 click another button
0:00:27.599,0:00:33.920 that said go live well
0:00:30.640,0:00:37.600 when i started the stream
0:00:33.920,0:00:41.600 the button disappeared and so now
0:00:37.600,0:00:44.000 there’s another button called end stream
0:00:41.600,0:00:47.360 and then also i wasn’t able to edit the
0:00:44.000,0:00:47.360 title of this live stream
0:00:47.600,0:00:51.680 normally it asks you to enter in the
0:00:49.920,0:00:53.440 title and some additional information
0:00:51.680,0:00:56.320 before you even start
0:00:53.440,0:00:57.120 i had to click on edit because it
0:00:56.320,0:01:00.960 pre-filled
0:00:57.120,0:01:02.559 from my from some default all right
0:01:00.960,0:01:05.360 so this is my live stream about
0:01:02.559,0:01:08.560 wordpress 5.5
0:01:05.360,0:01:11.600 which is an the most recent version
0:01:08.560,0:01:15.040 up to this you know video creation
0:01:11.600,0:01:18.640 and one interesting feature of
0:01:15.040,0:01:21.119 wordpress 5.5 is a built-in default
0:01:18.640,0:01:22.560 site map so that’s what this live stream
0:01:21.119,0:01:26.240 is going
0:01:22.560,0:01:28.479 to become now
0:01:26.240,0:01:30.799 two live streams ago i complained about
0:01:28.479,0:01:33.840 how atrocious youtube was
0:01:30.799,0:01:37.759 and then
0:01:33.840,0:01:41.520 my last live stream was perfect
0:01:37.759,0:01:43.759 it was archived within an hour
0:01:41.520,0:01:46.159 and i you know that’s why i live stream
0:01:43.759,0:01:48.079 it so it saves me time
0:01:46.159,0:01:50.399 but i was not aware of the new changes
0:01:48.079,0:01:53.280 all right so let’s get into this
0:01:50.399,0:01:54.240 now let me go through my blog post and
0:01:53.280,0:01:57.200 it’s
0:01:54.240,0:01:58.159 basically 100 percent written except for
0:01:57.200,0:02:00.399 i need to
0:01:58.159,0:02:01.520 add it something additional to it that i
0:02:00.399,0:02:04.799 just thought
0:02:01.520,0:02:07.119 but let’s go over that now so maybe you
0:02:04.799,0:02:10.879 were confused or you’re just
0:02:07.119,0:02:14.000 you know similar to me i’m not an expert
0:02:10.879,0:02:17.520 and speaking of experts how are the
Another Microsoft corporation problem. This time you may receive this Windows 10 – Network Path Was Not Found 08×80070035 error message when attempting to connect to a local area network connection share. This is more verbatim the actual network error.
Windows cannot access “the target machine name” Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click diagnose.
When you click “Diagnose” you will see the following:
Error code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.
If you attempt to connect to your target computer’s share via the Internet Protocol address instead, then you will be able to browse it successfully. For example you would try to access your network share by entering in the Internet Protocol address and share name like this example:
\\10.0.0.1\share
First you want to obviously make sure that you are trying to connect to the correct target machine and share name, like this example:
\\D620\USER
Also, you can try to ping your target computer via this command:
ping D620
If you did indeed enter in the correct machine name and share, then you will want to verify that two services are running on your Microsoft Windows computer. You will want to verify that the Computer Browser Service is enabled and running. You will want to enter the “Services” tool on your Microsoft Windows computer.
Also, you will want to verify and or turn on NETBIOS Network Basic Input Output System over TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol Internet Protocol. You will want to perform this step on both of your computers. Your source and your target computer.
If the following troubleshooting tips did not fix your problem, you can reset the Microsoft Windows winsock. First, you want to document your computer’s Internet Protocol address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS Domain Name System settings. Type this command into a Microsoft Windows command prompt:
C:\>ipconfig /all
Now you can type in the resulting information or screen capture it. You will want to save this ipconfig /all command information in case you have to reconfigure your network settings because of a static ip address, etc. Now you will enter in the following two commands into a Microsoft Windows command prompt.
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset c:tempresetlog.txt
You can go ahead and restart your computer. Hopefully, now you are able to browse local network computers and their shares. If your computer had a static Internet Protocol address configured, you will want to configure your static Internet Protocol address again.
The netsh winsock reset command actually resets your network settings to default, which is configured for DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. These instructions were written for a source computer with Microsoft Windows 10 operating system installed, trying to connect to a target computer with Microsoft Windows XP professional operating system. However, you can certainly use these instructions and tips for other Microsoft Windows operating systems ie. Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7, and Microsoft Windows 8.
Windows 10 – Network Path Was Not Found 08×80070035 Possible Fix Video Transcript
0:00:00.290,0:00:03.240 okay temperature I want to make this
0:00:02.520,0:00:05.609 video
0:00:03.240,0:00:07.980 pertaining to networking with Windows 10
0:00:05.609,0:00:09.840 I was trying to access a Windows XP
0:00:07.980,0:00:13.040 machine so I could share files back and
0:00:09.840,0:00:16.170 forth using file and printer sharing I
0:00:13.040,0:00:18.960 could not now I can but earlier I cannot
0:00:16.170,0:00:21.060 browse this d620 computer which is
0:00:18.960,0:00:23.699 running Windows XP and I was getting
0:00:21.060,0:00:25.920 this error windows cannot access blah
0:00:23.699,0:00:28.560 blah blah and here’s the error code it’s
0:00:25.920,0:00:32.910 eight zero zero seven zero zero three
0:00:28.560,0:00:35.579 five here’s how I rectified this I use
0:00:32.910,0:00:37.649 this article and I will include a link
0:00:35.579,0:00:39.899 to this article in this YouTube video
0:00:37.649,0:00:41.850 description in case you’re getting the
0:00:39.899,0:00:43.680 same error and then you can follow these
0:00:41.850,0:00:45.719 quick steps first you want to make sure
0:00:43.680,0:00:50.610 that the computer browser or service is
0:00:45.719,0:00:54.899 running Windows 10 right click control
0:00:50.610,0:01:01.109 panel system and security Administrative
0:00:54.899,0:01:01.559 Tools services computer browser right

0:01:01.559,0:01:06.540 mine was set to manual but it was
0:01:04.170,0:01:09.210 running I set it to automatic just so
0:01:06.540,0:01:10.710 that I’m certain that whenever you boot
0:01:09.210,0:01:15.200 this computer it would automatically
0:01:10.710,0:01:19.549 start cancel out of there close that
0:01:15.200,0:01:26.340 close that then you want to make sure
0:01:19.549,0:01:29.780 that tcp/ip over NetBIOS is enabled
0:01:26.340,0:01:32.700 NetBIOS over tcp/ip on both machines
0:01:29.780,0:01:34.200 actually on both machines they were set
0:01:32.700,0:01:40.200 to this other default setting which I
0:01:34.200,0:01:42.450 will show you now this is Windows 10 we
0:01:40.200,0:01:45.119 can go back to control panel home go to
0:01:42.450,0:01:48.930 network and internet go to network and
0:01:45.119,0:01:50.420 sharing center then I am on your network
0:01:48.930,0:01:52.770 the one that you’re connected to
0:01:50.420,0:01:56.280 selected it could be Y file it could be
0:01:52.770,0:02:02.220 land just select it then go into the
0:01:56.280,0:02:07.150 properties then for
0:02:02.220,0:02:10.420 tcp/ip version for not six but four go
0:02:07.150,0:02:14.020 into the properties then go to advanced
0:02:10.420,0:02:16.330 then click on the lens tab this is the
0:02:14.020,0:02:19.690 setting that allowed me to then browse
0:02:16.330,0:02:23.980 my Windows XP machine from my Windows 10
0:02:19.690,0:02:25.600 machine I had sharing all set up I had
0:02:23.980,0:02:31.180 file and printer sharing in the expert
0:02:25.600,0:02:33.810 machine I had a folder shared before
0:02:31.180,0:02:36.640 every reason I could ping it by its
0:02:33.810,0:02:38.410 computer name and by IP address I
0:02:36.640,0:02:41.560 couldn’t map a network drive or I
0:02:38.410,0:02:46.569 couldn’t access it in the network tab of
0:02:41.560,0:02:48.730 Windows 10 you want to set this to the
0:02:46.569,0:02:51.700 second option enable NetBIOS over tcp/ip
0:02:48.730,0:02:55.799 it was set to the default setting which
0:02:51.700,0:02:58.630 will use NetBIOS firm your DHCP server
0:02:55.799,0:03:01.810 that could be your router or whatever
0:02:58.630,0:03:06.299 device that you use to give IP addresses
0:03:01.810,0:03:09.430 or you might not be using DHCP so I
0:03:06.299,0:03:12.190 changed it to the second one enabling
0:03:09.430,0:03:18.100 applies over tcp/ip click OK click OK
0:03:12.190,0:03:20.140 again click close click close now I can
0:03:18.100,0:03:22.510 click close here to now I want to show
0:03:20.140,0:03:24.760 you on my Windows XP machine it was set
0:03:22.510,0:03:30.780 to the same setting so you go into
0:03:24.760,0:03:30.780 control panel on Windows XP
0:03:32.930,0:03:41.430 go into network connections same thing
0:03:39.180,0:03:44.070 local connection or if it’s a Wi-Fi
0:03:41.430,0:03:47.690 connection right click it go to
0:03:44.070,0:03:55.230 properties go to the properties for
0:03:47.690,0:03:59.010 tcp/ip click advanced then go to the
0:03:55.230,0:04:00.540 same tab wins tab again even under
0:03:59.010,0:04:03.330 Windows XP machine they will set to
0:04:00.540,0:04:07.260 default which would use NetBIOS setting
0:04:03.330,0:04:09.690 from the DHCP server I changed it to the
0:04:07.260,0:04:12.660 second one just like on Windows 10 and
0:04:09.690,0:04:13.230 they will NetBIOS over tcp/ip I clicked
0:04:12.660,0:04:16.410 ok
0:04:13.230,0:04:19.380 I clicked ok again I click close that’s
0:04:16.410,0:04:21.540 going to hourglass close this window
0:04:19.380,0:04:23.760 I’ll just minimize my remote desktop
0:04:21.540,0:04:26.070 connection then almost immediately as I
0:04:23.760,0:04:28.430 did this is off screen but at the right
0:04:26.070,0:04:31.530 side of the micro show there’s a little
0:04:28.430,0:04:34.560 refresh network or you can use your f5
0:04:31.530,0:04:38.340 key I click that and then all of a
0:04:34.560,0:04:41.460 sudden the d620 which is my laptop
0:04:38.340,0:04:43.560 running Windows XP is showed up and now
0:04:41.460,0:04:45.090 it shows up in the network and I can
0:04:43.560,0:04:47.370 browse it like normal I don’t have to
0:04:45.090,0:04:51.630 necessarily map a network drive unless I
0:04:47.370,0:04:54.900 want to but I can browse it and look at
0:04:51.630,0:04:56.610 the files on there and also before it
0:04:54.900,0:04:58.620 wouldn’t show up I could still remote
0:04:56.610,0:05:00.750 desktop connection to it but it didn’t
0:04:58.620,0:05:03.560 show up so I could not map a network
0:05:00.750,0:05:07.380 drive and then obviously I couldn’t
0:05:03.560,0:05:09.479 browse it and then go to the shares that
0:05:07.380,0:05:11.720 I have set up and then access the file
0:05:09.479,0:05:14.460 so it was a big bummer
0:05:11.720,0:05:15.810 so hopefully this also resolves your
0:05:14.460,0:05:21.600 issue where you’re receiving the
0:05:15.810,0:05:23.640 specific error which is 0 X 8 0 0 7 0
0:05:21.600,0:05:26.850 through 5 the network path was not found
0:05:23.640,0:05:30.479 when you try to map a network drive I’m
0:05:26.850,0:05:32.840 going to 10ma might also be a problem
0:05:30.479,0:05:35.050 with Windows Vista
0:05:32.840,0:05:42.460 7:8 possibly possibly but this was
0:05:35.050,0:05:42.460 Windows 10 and Windows XP adios
While I am not a fan of any type of government. I have begun to receive questions on this third party website where by I earn supplemental income answering computer and technology related questions pertaining to this alleged covid 19 coronavirus pandemic. One question I am now receiving is how do I perform a Covid 19 stimulus check status update.
The United States of America’s Internal Revenue Service actually has an online tool that you can use to check the status of your economic impact stimulus check or payment. You can check on the status of your impact payment check online via this Covid 19 stimulus check status online tool.
You will see the following warning message:
“THIS U.S. GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IS FOR AUTHORIZED USE ONLY!
Use of this system constitutes consent to monitoring, interception, recording, reading, copying or capturing by authorized personnel of all activities. There is no right to privacy in this system.

0:07:46.479,0:07:54.400 now another tip and then i’m gonna run
0:07:51.120,0:07:54.400 as i take some green tea
0:07:57.759,0:08:00.960 you are allowed to use this tool five
0:08:00.160,0:08:04.960 times
0:08:00.960,0:08:06.479 i think in one day in 24 hours
0:08:04.960,0:08:07.840 i don’t know why that is because you
0:08:06.479,0:08:09.120 should just check it once and that
0:08:07.840,0:08:11.599 should be enough
0:08:09.120,0:08:14.560 so you’re checking the status of your
0:08:11.599,0:08:16.879 economic stimulus payment
0:08:14.560,0:08:18.319 it’s not it it’s the twelve hundred
0:08:16.879,0:08:20.960 dollar payment
0:08:18.319,0:08:22.560 it is not now you do have to file
0:08:20.960,0:08:26.560 there’s two ways quickly
0:08:22.560,0:08:29.599 you file your tax return
0:08:26.560,0:08:31.520 and then it’ll come with that
0:08:29.599,0:08:32.959 as a payment but you can still check the
0:08:31.520,0:08:36.399 stats or
0:08:32.959,0:08:37.839 you file as a non-filer and then
0:08:36.399,0:08:38.880 if you’re wondering where why you
0:08:37.839,0:08:40.000 haven’t received your twelve hundred
0:08:38.880,0:08:42.320 dollars
0:08:40.000,0:08:44.399 this tool allows you to check the status
0:08:42.320,0:08:46.399 you may receive your payment depends on
0:08:44.399,0:08:49.680 how you
0:08:46.399,0:08:53.279 filled out your return it could be with
0:08:49.680,0:08:54.000 a bank deposit a electronic funds
0:08:53.279,0:08:56.640 transfer it
0:08:54.000,0:08:57.839 could be with a paper check and it could
0:08:56.640,0:09:02.640 be with i think
0:08:57.839,0:09:04.640 a debit card so this status tool
0:09:02.640,0:09:06.800 five times in 24 hour period you’re
0:09:04.640,0:09:10.160 allowed to check your status
0:09:06.800,0:09:12.720 if you go beyond the five times in a
0:09:10.160,0:09:13.760 24 hour period it will lock you out and
0:09:12.720,0:09:17.040 i think
0:09:13.760,0:09:19.600 you have to then wait another 24 hours
0:09:17.040,0:09:20.800 so that’s why you might want to read
0:09:19.600,0:09:23.279 over my blog post
0:09:20.800,0:09:24.080 some people learn better in the abstract

Is your Microsoft Windows 10 computer operating system not detecting your compact disk and or digital video disk drive? Amazingly enough Microsoft Corporation after decades still cannot design a computer operating system that can actually detect a compact disk and or digital video disk. Anyways, this potential solution might allow your Microsoft Windows 10 computer to finally detect your optical drive(s).
You will need to have access to your Microsoft Windows 10 administrator account and password. To open a command prompt with administrator rights in Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, you can right click the Microsoft Windows 10 start menu button in lower left hand corner.
Then choose command prompt with administrator rights if listed. If it is not listed, you can type in “command prompt” without quotes into a Microsoft Windows 10 cortana search box. Now you want to right click command prompt icon and choose “Run as administrator” or choose this from a list of other options.
In a command line you will want to type this command verbatim:
Also, you can copy and paste that command above that is bolded into your command prompt with administrator rights. Then hit your enter key. You should receive a “The operation completed successfully” message in your command prompt.
If you did, then you can exit out of the command prompt by typing in “exit” and then hit enter or close the command prompt window via the x in the upper right hand corner. Now you will want to restart Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. Hopefully now your compact disc or digitial video disc drive is detected.
If you receive any error messages then make sure that you are running that a fore mentioned command with administrator rights. Also, you could search the error message you are receiving into a search engine similar to Bing or Google to find some assistance.
Windows 10 – Not Detecting Your CD DVD Drive Potential Solution Video Transcript
0:00:00.350,0:00:05.850 alternator parity or a video pertaining
0:00:02.939,0:00:08.059 to the fact that some Windows 10
0:00:05.850,0:00:11.070 installations will not detect your
0:00:08.059,0:00:12.870 cd/dvd drive what a joke Microsoft
0:00:11.070,0:00:13.950 they’re not moving forward they’re
0:00:12.870,0:00:15.690 moving backwards
0:00:13.950,0:00:19.410 how many operating systems have been
0:00:15.690,0:00:22.320 released in the previous decades that
0:00:19.410,0:00:26.689 can easily detect a cd/dvd drive that
0:00:22.320,0:00:29.880 Windows 10 has a problema with it I
0:00:26.689,0:00:31.769 ironically I found this article from
0:00:29.880,0:00:35.820 Microsoft that actually fixed my issue
0:00:31.769,0:00:39.000 and this was with a full version an
0:00:35.820,0:00:41.540 upgrade I was running Windows 7 detected
0:00:39.000,0:00:46.110 my a cd/dvd drive work just fine then I
0:00:41.540,0:00:48.239 ran the Windows 10 upgrade then when
0:00:46.110,0:00:52.530 that completed it would not detect my
0:00:48.239,0:00:55.530 cd/dvd drive correctly DVD CD drive in
0:00:52.530,0:01:00.800 Windows 10 does not recognize the cd/dvd
0:00:55.530,0:01:04.290 drive installed Windows 10 preview in
0:01:00.800,0:01:07.770 107 cd/dvd drive is working fine but in
0:01:04.290,0:01:10.890 Windows 10 can’t recognize it tried disk
0:01:07.770,0:01:13.200 management ran scan for new devices and
0:01:10.890,0:01:16.830 device manager that did not work here’s
0:01:13.200,0:01:17.400 the resolution solution you might give
0:01:16.830,0:01:19.350 this a try
0:01:17.400,0:01:21.180 run the command prompt as an
0:01:19.350,0:01:22.770 administrator so you would right click
0:01:21.180,0:01:28.530 the windows icon in the lower left
0:01:22.770,0:01:31.110 corner and then you will see a list and
0:01:28.530,0:01:35.689 you will see command prompt and then
0:01:31.110,0:01:38.520 admin select the admin and then say yes
0:01:35.689,0:01:41.210 then you copy and paste this command
0:01:38.520,0:01:44.100 which I will copy and paste for you
0:01:41.210,0:01:46.829 select and then copy and then I have an
0:01:44.100,0:01:51.689 administrator command prompt open just
0:01:46.829,0:01:53.670 select paste hit enter and then you want
0:01:51.689,0:01:56.610 to make sure that you see the operation
0:01:53.670,0:01:58.680 complete a successfully message and then
0:01:56.610,0:02:01.829 it will go back to a command prompt so
0:01:58.680,0:02:04.200 that worked then you want to reboot your
0:02:01.829,0:02:09.500 Windows 10 machine and it should detect
0:02:04.200,0:02:09.500 your DVD CD drive successfully now
0:02:11.489,0:02:17.349 for whatever reason when upgrading to
0:02:15.010,0:02:20.099 Windows 10 and I you I didn’t use a
0:02:17.349,0:02:23.080 preview version I used their full
0:02:20.099,0:02:26.220 upgrade version you’re running Windows 7
0:02:23.080,0:02:32.680 and then you get that little icon
0:02:26.220,0:02:35.380 annoyance perhaps begging you to upgrade
0:02:32.680,0:02:40.420 to Windows 10 which is now no longer
0:02:35.380,0:02:41.440 free and so I ran the upgrade it ran
0:02:40.420,0:02:46.900 successfully
0:02:41.440,0:02:48.310 but then my cd/dvd drive no bueno muy
0:02:46.900,0:02:50.620 mall no longer worked
0:02:48.310,0:02:53.069 so hopefully this and I will clue
0:02:50.620,0:02:56.680 include a link to this microphone
0:02:53.069,0:02:59.650 ironically Microsoft article Microsoft
0:02:56.680,0:03:02.019 causes a problem they have crappy
0:02:59.650,0:03:05.709 operating systems but sometimes one so
0:03:02.019,0:03:10.650 all Microsoft provides a solution to the
0:03:05.709,0:03:10.650 problem problema that they create videos
Virtualbox installation on Linux is quite easy. You can install this free software from Oracle on most Linux distributions. This quick tutorial will cover how to install Virtualbox on MX Linux 19.1 on a command line via a terminal application.
You will want to log in with your root account credentials. Then type in this following command:
apt-get install virtualbox
You will be asked if you want to install virtualbox along with these additional software packges.
libgsoap-2.8.75
libvncserver1
virtualbox-dkms
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
virtualbox
virtualbox-qt
Then you just type y for yes. Now you can sit back and relax while virtualbox downloads and installs. You do not need to add any additional repository to install Oracle virtualbox on MX Linux 19.1.
Eventually, 4 virtualbox processes will attempt to start. If any of these 4 processes fail, then it is possible that either virtualization is not enabled in your computer’s basic input output system or that your computer’s microprocessor does not support virtualization. If all four processes start with a green OK response, then you are all completed with virtualbox installation on Linux.
Now you just browse to “Accessories” and then scroll down that list until you see virtualbox. The graphical user interface should open up. These instructions were written for a computer with MX Linux 19.1 operating system installed.
Also, MX Linux is a Debian derivation Linux distribution. You could use these instructions for other Debian based operating systems. However, you may or may not need to add a repository, in order for it to become available for install.
You can also install virtualbox via the MX Package Installer tool. You would just look for virtualbox and then click on install. I almost never install software on Linux via a package manager unless I need to install non-standard software.
The command line way of install software with apt is so easy that why bother. However, it can be performed this way. One final tip.
If you run into problems installing virtualbox, make sure that your microprocessor supports virtualization and or is enabled in the computer basic input output system. Now you can install a myriad of different operating systems in your virtual machine environment. No more dual booting and or partitioning hard drive space for your operating systems.
Virtualbox Installation on Linux – MX Linux 19.1 Video Transcript
0:00:02.800,0:00:09.040 all righty let’s cut to the chase
0:00:04.720,0:00:12.080 so i’ve been wanting to install
0:00:09.040,0:00:13.920 oracle’s virtualbox for a while now but
0:00:12.080,0:00:16.760 i had a quad-core computer believe it or
0:00:13.920,0:00:19.439 not that the processor did not support
0:00:16.760,0:00:21.039 virtualization so you’ll have to stick
0:00:19.439,0:00:22.960 around during my video where i give you
0:00:21.039,0:00:24.800 some tips to save you time
0:00:22.960,0:00:27.359 to make sure that you have the you know
0:00:24.800,0:00:28.640 the right type of computer that supports
0:00:27.359,0:00:30.160 virtualization
0:00:28.640,0:00:31.679 so i’m going to demonstrate on this live
0:00:30.160,0:00:34.000 stream how to install
0:00:31.679,0:00:34.960 oracle’s virtualbox it’s really not that
0:00:34.000,0:00:37.280 difficult
0:00:34.960,0:00:38.480 on linux and more specifically
0:00:37.280,0:00:43.120 succinctly
0:00:38.480,0:00:47.200 mx linux 19.1 which is a debian
0:00:43.120,0:00:50.480 derivation distribution of linux
0:00:47.200,0:00:52.160 here we go so
0:00:50.480,0:00:53.840 you’re going to install i’m going to
0:00:52.160,0:00:54.559 show you how to install it via command
0:00:53.840,0:00:58.000 line
0:00:54.559,0:00:59.359 click on the link in the blog post in
0:00:58.000,0:00:59.920 the description box of this youtube
0:00:59.359,0:01:01.280 video
0:00:59.920,0:01:03.600 that’ll take you to my website in a
0:01:01.280,0:01:05.280 computers.com well i will have
0:01:03.600,0:01:07.360 full written instructions in the
0:01:05.280,0:01:10.479 abstract for you
0:01:07.360,0:01:11.439 alright so let me transition so you’re
0:01:10.479,0:01:14.159 gonna
0:01:11.439,0:01:15.920 obviously use a terminal in linux you
0:01:14.159,0:01:18.400 can you can use it via the
0:01:15.920,0:01:20.560 on mx linux there’s a package manager
0:01:18.400,0:01:22.880 i’m not going to show you that
0:01:20.560,0:01:24.720 for me it’s much easier just to use a
0:01:22.880,0:01:28.880 command line but you can certainly
0:01:24.720,0:01:32.000 use you know the package manager
0:01:28.880,0:01:35.600 so it’s real simple and
0:01:32.000,0:01:37.360 what we’re going to do is
0:01:35.600,0:01:39.119 youtube is not receiving enough video to
0:01:37.360,0:01:40.880 maintain smooth streaming well i don’t
0:01:39.119,0:01:43.360 give a shit about youtube
0:01:40.880,0:01:44.880 really i mean it’s a live stream my
0:01:43.360,0:01:48.159 encoder says that i am
0:01:44.880,0:01:51.360 streaming just fine it’s green
0:01:48.159,0:01:53.360 it’s 16 it’s over 16
0:01:51.360,0:01:55.280 what is it kilobits per second oh yeah
0:01:53.360,0:01:58.000 i’ve got plenty of bandwidth i don’t
0:01:55.280,0:02:00.240 fuck youtube all right i i’m also
0:01:58.000,0:02:02.159 recording this video just in case
0:02:00.240,0:02:03.759 so all you’re going to do is type this
0:02:02.159,0:02:07.439 command apt
0:02:03.759,0:02:11.520 get install
0:02:07.439,0:02:11.520 virtual box like this
0:02:17.760,0:02:23.440 and then hit enter and
0:02:21.680,0:02:25.040 it’s virtual and then it’s going to ask
0:02:23.440,0:02:26.720 you
0:02:25.040,0:02:28.560 now here’s some other additional
0:02:26.720,0:02:32.720 packages so it’s going to
0:02:28.560,0:02:32.959 want to install lib for library library
0:02:32.720,0:02:36.080 g
0:02:32.959,0:02:38.400 soap which is an acronym
0:02:36.080,0:02:39.519 microsoft needs to clean themselves up
0:02:38.400,0:02:42.480 with some soap but
0:02:39.519,0:02:42.959 linux yeah linux isn’t perfect but you
0:02:42.480,0:02:46.000 know
0:02:42.959,0:02:49.519 what i’m saying library vnc server one
0:02:46.000,0:02:50.879 virtual box dash dcms and virtualbox
0:02:49.519,0:02:54.080 dash guest additions
0:02:50.879,0:02:55.200 dash iso and then virtualbox qd along
0:02:54.080,0:02:58.640 with vd2
0:02:55.200,0:02:58.640 so i’m going to say yes
0:02:59.120,0:03:06.560 and this is it that’s it now i’m using
0:03:02.239,0:03:08.319 mx linux 19.1 i did not have to add any
0:03:06.560,0:03:11.120 special repository
0:03:08.319,0:03:12.800 sometimes in linux you have to and let
0:03:11.120,0:03:13.280 me make sure that i’m screen capturing
0:03:12.800,0:03:15.040 the
0:03:13.280,0:03:17.280 terminal window okay and i did increase
0:03:15.040,0:03:18.080 the font to make sure that you could see
0:03:17.280,0:03:20.080 it
0:03:18.080,0:03:21.680 you know what i’m saying it’s a it’s a
0:03:20.080,0:03:24.640 bolded
0:03:21.680,0:03:25.760 16 size font in the terminal window it
0:03:24.640,0:03:27.519 takes a little while
0:03:25.760,0:03:30.080 it’s downloading the packages let me
0:03:27.519,0:03:32.720 give you some tips
0:03:30.080,0:03:33.519 on mx linux i did not have to add any
0:03:32.720,0:03:36.319 additional
0:03:33.519,0:03:36.720 repository now if you use now you can
0:03:36.319,0:03:40.080 use
0:03:36.720,0:03:43.280 this video to install virtualbox oracle
0:03:40.080,0:03:46.959 on other linux distributions
0:03:43.280,0:03:50.560 if they are debian derivation
0:03:46.959,0:03:52.400 like ubuntu or you know debian itself
0:03:50.560,0:03:54.239 you probably don’t have to add any
0:03:52.400,0:03:55.519 additional repository
0:03:54.239,0:03:58.840 but i don’t know that know that for a
0:03:55.519,0:04:01.280 fact if you’re gonna use
0:03:58.840,0:04:04.720 the yum
0:04:01.280,0:04:06.799 which is on the linux distributions
0:04:04.720,0:04:08.640 based upon red hat linux
0:04:06.799,0:04:10.560 the instructions are different this
0:04:08.640,0:04:13.519 video probably wouldn’t help you
0:04:10.560,0:04:14.799 you know i’m saying maybe maybe not
0:04:13.519,0:04:17.759 linux commands are
0:04:14.799,0:04:20.720 pretty similar some of them are the same
0:04:17.759,0:04:24.639 across the different distributions
0:04:20.720,0:04:27.520 so here’s some additional tips
0:04:24.639,0:04:28.800 you’re going to need a computer with a
0:04:27.520,0:04:32.240 processor
0:04:28.800,0:04:33.840 that supports virtualization
0:04:32.240,0:04:36.000 now you can go into your bios i’m not
0:04:33.840,0:04:36.560 going to talk about going into your bios
0:04:36.000,0:04:37.919 i just
0:04:36.560,0:04:40.080 want to show you how to install
0:04:37.919,0:04:40.800 virtualbox you know i’m doing this on a
0:04:40.080,0:04:42.960 live stream
0:04:40.800,0:04:44.880 performing this on a live stream that’s
0:04:42.960,0:04:46.960 going to be recorded
0:04:44.880,0:04:48.479 youtube is they’re they’re fucks fuck
0:04:46.960,0:04:50.720 ups and
0:04:48.479,0:04:52.320 rece i don’t want to digress about the
0:04:50.720,0:04:54.320 just bullshit now that
0:04:52.320,0:04:57.040 that you have to deal with when you live
0:04:54.320,0:05:00.479 stream and anyways i don’t know
0:04:57.040,0:05:00.479 i want to get into the details
0:05:02.240,0:05:06.560 the possible easiest way is to find out
0:05:06.080,0:05:09.440 what
0:05:06.560,0:05:11.120 the model of your processor is let’s say
0:05:09.440,0:05:12.160 it’s an intel and i’m just making this
0:05:11.120,0:05:16.600 up arbitrarily
0:05:12.160,0:05:20.160 it’s an intel g7889
0:05:16.600,0:05:20.639 microprocessor you can go out to a
0:05:20.160,0:05:24.320 search
0:05:20.639,0:05:25.840 engine type in intel and then the model
0:05:24.320,0:05:28.800 of the microprocessor
0:05:25.840,0:05:30.240 look go find the official intel
0:05:28.800,0:05:33.759 specifications page
0:05:30.240,0:05:36.080 for your microprocessor scroll down
0:05:33.759,0:05:39.840 and it will tell you whether or not your
