Smart Lock doesn’t work on Sony Xperia XA2 running Android 8.0 Oreo
I setup Smart Lock with my home address and it worked great for couple weeks. One day it just stopped working. Smart lock on my Sony Xperia XA2 would just show white screen and no settings at all – no details. This is how I fixed it.
- Go to Settings – Security & Location – Trust Agents
- Disable Smart Lock (Google)
- reboot the phone
- Go to Settings – Security & Location – Trust Agents
- enable Smart Lock (Google)
- go back
- click on Smart lock
- and the problem is fixed
Steam client application won’t open on windows 10 computer
Today I had a problem with my Steam client. I would double click on my icon to open Steam and nothing would happen. This is how I fixed this issue on my Windows 10 computer.
- Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
- find steam.exe and rename it to steam.exe.old
- restart your computer
- Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
- rename steam.exe.old back to steam.exe
- open steam client – it will start installing an update and then it will open Steam application.
How to Check and Update Windows Systems for the Meltdown and Spectre CPU Flaws
Vaccine, not Killswitch, Found for Petya (NotPetya Petna GoldenEye) Ransomware Outbreak
Creating the read-only file C:\Windows\perfc.dat on your computer prevents the file-scrambling part of NotPetya running, but doesn’t stop it spreading on the network. Note, the software is designed to spread internally for less than an hour and then kicks in; it doesn’t attempt to spread externally across the internet like WannaCry did.
update:
in folder C:\windows create a file call perfc with no extension and make it read only
also create C:\windows\perfc.dat and C:\windows\perc.dll and also make both files read only.
RASPBERRY PI – Accessing a windows share SMB
I was getting this error on Raspberry PI
mount error(95): Operation not supported
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
this was the fix for me
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.x.x/share ~/share -o username=bob,vers=2.1
vers = SMB protocol version. Allowed values are:
· 1.0 – The classic CIFS/SMBv1 protocol. This is the default.
· 2.0 – The SMBv2.002 protocol. This was initially introduced in Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2008. Note that the initial release version of Windows Vista spoke a slightly different dialect (2.000) that is not supported.
· 2.1 – The SMBv2.1 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2.
· 3.0 – The SMBv3.0 protocol that was introduced in Microsoft Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
Windows 10 Disable SMB v1 protocol
IN Windows 10 click Start button then enter Windows PowerShell in the search box, then right-click the Windows PowerShell shortcut and click Run as administrator.
From that elevated PowerShell prompt, type the following command:
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol
