So I got bad news folks

the new thing in caller id spoofing is, spoofing so it appears like, the number your dialing is calling

well "unknown" actually but when you call it back it ends up calling yourself

I recently got a call that shows up a completely blank number; I have no idea what would happen if I tried to call it back

Q: Canonical question on USB flash drives becoming write-protected

We have lots of questions about USB flash drives becoming write-protected and most of them aren't closed. The closest I can find to a canonical question is this, whose answers are rather lacking. In response to this, I'm preparing a new canonical question intended to consolidate all these questi...

This question doesn't have any good answers, either.

Journeyman Geek

1:24 AM

Why not post a good answer to the existing 'canonical' one then?

bwDraco

There are too many to choose from.

None of these questions are of particularly high quality.

Journeyman Geek

Can you fix one?

bwDraco

I just don't know where to start.

Most of these questions are specific to a particular drive model or include steps specifically taken by the OP and editing them might not be a good idea.

I'm also not into "blessing" a particular (and likely very old) question by turning it into a community-faq.

Journeyman Geek

Why not?

Q: Why did my flash drive become "read only" and (how) can I fix it?

I have a brand new flash drive (one week old) that has become marked as read only, by Windows, Kubuntu and a bootable partitioner. Why did this happen? Is it fixable? If it is, how can I fix this? The problem Firstly, this drive is new. It's certainly not been used enough to die from normal w...

windows-7 usb-flash-drive filesystem-corruption

Hmm...

This is still too specific to a particular device.

@Bob, since you asked the above question, should I still write a new canonical question?

Any other opinions before I proceed with posting the new question (and instant self-answer)?

Also, should I make the answer community wiki?

Okay, folks, here's the question content:

When I plug in my USB flash drive, it shows up on my computer as write-protected or read-only. I am unable to transfer files to it or create or delete any files stored on it. I also cannot repartition or reformat the drive. The drive does not have a write-protect switch.

Why did this happen and what can I do about it? Is there a way to remove the write protection?

> *This question comes up often and the answers are usually the same. This post is meant to provide a definitive, canonical answer for this problem. Feel free to edit the answer to add additional details.*

...and the answer:

If the drive appears to be write-protected, start by inserting the drive into another computer to isolate the cause of the issue. If the drive works, there might be a computer-specific issue or a fixable problem such as filesystem corruption that can be corrupted by using `CHKDSK` or a similar utility, in which case your drive is probably working normally.

If this is not the case, then your drive has probably experienced a fault condition. **You generally can't remove write protection from a faulty flash drive.** This behavior is typical of flash drive controllers when they detect a proble…

I know this is on Windows, but on Android, Firefox is noticeably worse on the battery than Chrome.

Firefox can be awfully inefficient at times.

Journeyman Geek

fairly different systems tho?

Laptop's not usually on battery and I don't normally browse with Edge, so cannot verify this myself, but it's very likely Microsoft is right.

bwDraco

At 0:05 in the video:

> *HD streaming video from Netflix (1080p in Microsoft Edge, 720p in other [browsers])

Likewise, PCWorld's own testing with different hardware and software comes up decisively in favor of Edge, albeit not to the same degree.

As with Microsoft's most recent tests, Firefox came in last (excluding IE, which should be considered obsolete).

@bwDraco what, they're going to rewrite the whole browser?

from what I heard, the legal callcenters do not call you if you register, but the shady ones, as you can guess, still do. But meh, less = better, eh?

bwDraco

If Firefox's power consumption is this bad on my phone, I'm not surprised that it's similarly bad on PCs.

arda

android?

bwDraco

Yup.

arda

3:27 AM

bwDraco

I'm sticking with Firefox only because of the Sync feature, which allows me to host the data on my own infrastructure. Had it not been for this, I would not be using Firefox by now.

Journeyman Geek

eh. I just mess with them

I might very well be using Chrome or Edge right now.

Browser tests made using Selenium WebDriver; full methodology here. (@allquicatic, you might know something about this; see above for more discussions on the Microsoft browser battery life tests)

Firefox, in my experience, has not proven to be the most efficient browser. Not by a long shot.

arda

someone needs to test on linux

bwDraco

Edge is only on Windows 10.

arda

ikno

I mean, opera vs firefox vs chromium

plus maybe a set of windows pcs running the same browsers

plus maybe different desktop managers or whatever you call them, like MATE, LXDE, KDE, Gnome etc etc

bwDraco

Did a quick test on my machine with several complex websites, including DPReview, AnandTech, and Tom's Hardware. In each case, Edge renders the page quickly and doesn't hog the CPU for any extended period of time, while Firefox takes its sweet time and hogs a CPU core for several seconds.

The CPU load advantage is very significant, which translates directly to significantly longer battery life.

Mozilla seriously needs to step up its game. I'm testing with Firefox Developer Edition, for what it's worth.

arda

Biggest reason I'm still on firefox is, well, 1) sync 2) lack of ublock in edge 3) lack of any script manager in edge 4) lack of stylish in edge. I use loads of userstyles. list

@bwDraco try disabling e10s and testing again

bwDraco

4:01 AM

Compared to Edge, Firefox uses an obscene amount of compute to render complex pages.

Restarting with e10s disabled...

@arda No meaningful improvement. Firefox still hogs the CPU while rendering pages, Edge does not.

It renders more slowly but uses a similar amount of compute time.

Edge is the clear winner, and by a substantial margin. Can't really give any hard numbers, but Edge used about 40-75% of the CPU time Firefox used to render each page.

Microsoft's claims can easily be validated even through simple browsing tests. There's a substantial advantage in favor of Edge. Their browser is remarkably well optimized—it clearly doesn't waste CPU cycles while rendering web content.

Well done, Microsoft. You've shown you can write a good web browser, for once.

arda

From my experiences, Windows is much faster, smoother and easier to use than linux. Also uses less battery. Edge is great but used to freeze a lot on 1511. Well, I'll test it again when it supports ublock, greasemonkey and stylish

bwDraco

The difference is strikingly evident when you monitor the CPU usage while the browsers render content.

It's very, very obvious that Firefox is wasting loads of compute while rendering web pages.

arda

oh boy... I opened edge and it is so smooth

I want to go back

but well, I'll wait for stylish to make an edge version. light themed websites burn my eyes

bwDraco

The issue seems to be that Firefox is busy-waiting while web content is being downloaded. Edge completely avoids this behavior.

Trying again with add-ons disabled...

arda

4:19 AM

Try on safemode

bwDraco

(using a temporary, clean profile)

arda

addons disabled + some other stuff reset

@bwDraco ah, ok

Also the lack of stylish is literally unbearable on edge

bwDraco

Firefox continues to perform noticeably worse than Edge, though with a slightly smaller margin.

Well, there's no comparison.

Edge only briefly bursts the CPU in most cases, while Firefox puts a near-constant load on the CPU while rendering a page.

Edge is indisputably lighter on the battery than Firefox. Period, end of story.

I try to give Firefox every possible advantage and it's just not doing any better than Edge.

Not by a long shot.

To claim that Edge is not substantially more efficient than Firefox would be outright lying.

Mozilla clearly needs to make its browser more efficient. I am seriously reconsidering my choice of browsers at this point.

This is why people are not using Firefox any more. Not only is it slower than the competition, it's an outright battery hog compared to Edge or even Chrome (which made substantial strides over the last several months).

Parting words: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1277120 – How on Earth is this acceptable behavior?

Journeyman Geek

@arda yeah, but its primarily laziness

arda

If you want to add them all at once, scroll all the way down, copy the links after "New total:", and paste it on the "add from url" feature of stylish. It'll add them all

I used to spend like 30 minutes setting these up and pretty much gave up at some point, but the load from link and adding multiple stuff at once thingy helped.

@MithleshUpadhyay I've said this so many times - its a mistake people new here typically make. In this room, its considered very bad form to link a question simply to get attention. If its something of interest or something that was discussed here in the past, its cool. Otherwise, Its something I definately not something I'd suggest you make a habit of.

It definitely looks like you copy-pasted something from a book/test and simply posted it there. A good question's not about theory - its firstly about a real, practical problem and theory comes naturally from there.

So, my recommendation here is to take a look at highly upvoted questions, compare those to yours, and take this as an opportunity to learn

Hello

I have a quick question...

How I can force applications to use more CPU power?

Like now I'm doing something on cmd and it's taking a very loong time

my cpu is at 10%

winrar is the same. I would prefer to have my cpu at 90% and do it faster

bwDraco

I am almost out of close votes :\

Journeyman Geek

you can't, really

but this is the sort of thing you ought to ask as a question on the main site

also "more cpu power" is relative. You might be bottlenecked by other things

Q: Can a single-threaded program be made to use multiple cores?

@bwDraco what about this :)
http://superuser.com/questions/293809/can-a-single-threaded-program-be-made-to-use-multiple-cores#comment1609854_293822

@freedo what are you doing on CMD? get a hard disk bench marking software. then compare the bench to your hard drive speed during the cmd or winrar

@freedo if you have a hard disk drive (NOT A SOLID STATE DRIVE) do defragment on it about 5 times in a row to decrease seek latency.

before you do defrag, run cleanmgr (disk cleanup) and empty your temporary directories

unforunately many programs are single threaded. so if you have 8 cores, 100/8 = 12.5 , thats 12.5% max cpu usage for single threaded programs.

DavidPostill

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere "defragment on it about 5 times in a row" huh? Once should be enough unless you have a horribly broken defrag program.

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

technically if its an intel cpu it's a bit more than 12.5% because of hyperthreading being virtual, the cpu will give you most of the core's power if the other thread of the core is not doing anything.

also there is intel speed boost which increases the clock speed of a single core being used when the rest of the cores are idle

if your processor and OS are 64bit, make sure you're downloading the 64 bit version of programs. for exmaple make sure your winrar is the 64 bit version!

@freedo you get all that? :)

@DavidPostill correctomundo, the first pass will get 60%, the second 90% and the remainders are just incase defrag didnt know what to do with that huge file

on average that is...

in my experiences

@freedo use autoruns to nuke your startup and remove all non-microsoft run and services except for syntepH I typoed that, or any other touch pad software idf you're on a laptop. and maybe hotkey software if you're on a laptop.

Make a system restore point before you do anything and ask me for guidance with removing unnesecary items or you can break your computer! erm windows install :)

this nuke will remove unnesecary backgrounds processes that steal some of your cpu because windows did not allocate all garbage processes to their own idle thread

I have a 64 bit system and use most 64 bit software

Still I don't think the programs are using all they can

I'm thinking about creating a ram disk drive so I'll have the I/O speed similar of an SSD

I never defragmented my system lol.

It's still really fast for most all applications. It's only when unpacking 2gb+ rar files or download torrent fasters ( I'm almost sure I'm bottleneck by HD when downloading files ) that I notice some delay

Besides make programs using my RAM as a "HD" and setting higher priority in task manager what I can do to speed programs?

The second isuue I was trying to solve. Windows 10 does not seem to like to speak to a HDD on USB 3.1

Calculating on .gho files. Then that errors.

I rarely had a windows installation which handled USB.

USB2 pendrive on USB2: Usually works. Sometimes does not until you reboot. Usually complaining about missing files. (Multiple computers)
USB3 pendrive on USB2: ditto
USB3 pendrive on USB3: Mostly not working.

Just unplugged it (no remove this device option since it was busy) and I'll try another port.

Is it that weird to expect windows to work with USB?

Hennes

Googlong around it seems to mention driver problems.

It seems to work on a slow USB 3.0 port

I usually use eSATA, which in my experience always work, did not need extra drivers and was fast. But that case is worn out. The connectors no longer make solid contact.

It was a good case, havily used.

So I grabbed a pair of new cases. Sadly no eSATA, only USB 3.1 gen 3.1 SCSI over USB

With the weird wide USB 3.0 connector, not a modern USB-C connector.

Reading at 40MB/sec.... Which might be due to the old laptop drive (A WD black 320GB SATA drive)

So temped to order something faster.
