    Question Ho do I set the USB ports on Asrock B450 Pro4 to not supply voltage when computer is turned off?

    I noticed that my USB audio interface remains on after I shut down the computer, which forces me to unplug the USB cable every time. I think I've turned off all deep sleep functions in the Bios and remember in the olden days you could choose whether you wanted to still have power supplied to the...

    Can I tell Windows when to spin down my drive(s)?

    We need to be fair to poor people by blocking them from profit

    This is the new messaging from the utility companies concerning solar power. They just don't say it this way. They say, instead, that individuals' solar power (typically rooftop) is unfair to poor people because only wealthy people can afford to buy into it. That sounds awfully sweet — rich...
