If your PC has had trouble waking from sleep, getting stuck on a black screen, getting stuck rebooting, or failing to obey the power settings, you might want to try disabling Connected Standby.

My Xbox One Elite controller stinks
My Xbox One Elite controller is wonderful. After being announced at E3, I was hyped and preordered one immediately to receive mine when they released on October 27th of 2015. The paddles, after a learning curve, have improved my FPS game greatly. I even use it for Rocket League. There is only one problem with my otherwise fantastic Elite controller…it stinks.
Not as in, “Lol jk, it sucks.” My Xbox One Elite controller smells bad, it reeks, it’s funky. Continue reading
Printer won’t print, Can’t delete print jobs
The Problem
Printing in Windows 10 (and earlier) should just work, but sometimes it doesn’t. Occasionally you will send a file or page to the printer and nothing will happen. No errors, no message, nothing.

(solved) YouTube, An Error Occurred. Please Try Again Later.
I had a video on YouTube give me (and every other person that viewed it) the message “An error occurred. Please try again later. Learn more”. This happened, of course, on my most popular video. Just that one video.
No promises that this will fix your issue, but here is what fixed mine.
1. Go into your Creator Studio and then into Video Manager.
2. Select the Audio tab.
3. Select Revert to original, and then click Save.
4. Wait for YouTube to process the changes, and hopefully you’re done.
Many people suggest reuploading the video, but then you lose all of your stats for the video. If all else fails, try this fix. It takes 30 seconds to try it, and is harmless. I hope this helps somebody.
Cursed dashed, broken lines in AutoCAD 2016. Be gone!
I am known for having unique technical problems. When I call tech support for various services and software, it’s rarely anything that the manual covers. I am blessed with the ability to discover bugs and “unintended features”.
At work this week, I upgraded a years-old-laptop to a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 with an i7 processor. I don’t do a lot of CAD work, but I do work on controls drawings for our MACS Coolers periodically. Because of this occasional need, I picked up a higher-end Surface Pro 4, if not for the AutoCAD work, an i5 would have been plenty.
Since I was overly curious about the new AutoCAD and installed our company’s latest version, AutoCAD 2016, and I was on a Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10, the newness of it all was doomed to end poorly.
