Re: Does Google follow internal nofollow links? Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by KomalBhatt Google has, however, noted that they simply don't follow nofollow links. So while nofollow links likely don't have a direct impact on your SEO, they can affect your website traffic Re: Does Google follow internal nofollow links? Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by toneewa The first thing that comes to mind is that Google doesn't, because they don't have to. They can save all the nofollows for a third party, and still be telling the truth. Google -> follow -> done. Google -> nofollow -> save -> done. save <- NSA -> done. NSA -> follow -> done.

Re: Do you participate in any other communities? Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani Oh, and as for Reddit, Google has taken a very keen interest in Reddit as of recently. They just began paying them for full access to their internal API to get a stream of all Reddit content. Plus they just very recently IPO'ed a few days ago and their stock is doing quite well. (I bought a little on opening day). Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by toneewa Some information left out is the actual name/ model of laptop, hard drive, and whether or not it was visible in the BIOS. Some features may have a power saving mode or power plan, even software controls. Create a new power plan, go to high performance mode. Update drivers and BIOS. Inspecting the controller's connection to the motherboard and port,… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by rproffitt I've had a lot of their laptops at my brother's insurance office. We've been lucky with them. OK, there is a "thing" about some models where you have to install a media/storage driver for some drives to show up. So far Linux shows such drives since that driver is baked into all the current distros I've used recently. I can't offer … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim The previous unit was a Vivobook 15 X513EA-BH59-CB. The current one is a Vivoboox ASUS K350 2ZA BB51 CB. I'm assuming that the problem with the first unit was not a missing driver because both ASUS and Best Buy (Geek Squad) could not get it working. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by rproffitt https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1044458/ notes the Intel RST as well. As to BB/GS, I've found them hit or miss on this area. And on some models you "Disable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) technology". I'm of the opinion that such steps should be automatic and built into "modern" Windows. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim Took my laptop in to Best Buy ths morning and they said it would have to be shipped back to ASUS for repair (again). The good news is that it's still under warranty and I have a spare laptop. The bad news it that it's also an ASUS, but at least it's an older one from before they started making (in my opinion) crap. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by toneewa USB-C ports can wear out, and become loose after 6 months of use. I've heard there was a dip in quality from ASUS. I haven't experienced it myself. I have 2 monitors from them, 1 has over 73,500 hours and ~98% uptime.

As for the price, the ASUS models I bought were both the best price that met my specs. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by toneewa Indeed, I recommend to anyone that has USB ports to use the magnetic plugs for mini and micro USB ports. I see you could have the Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, so I'm sure it did cost little more. That would check one of my boxes. 144hz+ would be another. I don't need bloodshot eyes from 60hz. If you are a DIY fixer, you can also [replace the TB4 ports](… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset. First thing I noticed was that the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by toneewa If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim When I got it back they had replaced both the motherboard and the power supply and I checked in the store to verify there were no power issues. I suspect you are correct about them not reconnecting the touchpad as that was not working in Linux either. As for GPT vs NTFS, I have never formatted to anything but NTFS, and when I originally got the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim I got a call from Best Buy this morning to tell me my laptop was back. When I got to the counter I told the tech that I would not accept it until they showed me that it could be reset to factory. I'll leave out a few of the details that don't matter to the tale. He powered up the laptop and showed me Windows 11. The touchpad was working. He went… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim >Sounds like a very bad recovery image Possibly. But why didn't this show up when they did the reset prior to returning the laptop? Imagine that you just bought a car (should be pretty easy for you). You and your wife take a drive in the countryside and at some point you drive over a nail and get a flat tire. No problem because you have a … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim Got a call from Best Buy at 6:30 pm the same day. He informed me that the Windows system that the tech installed was not the OEM version for my machine. I asked why this should matter since I requested a reset to factory from the recovery partition. He said they couldn't do that because the recovery partition had been corrupted. So that's two … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim >At some point you are stuck with a clean install I'm using my father-in-law's old laptop in the interim. When I inherited it I took out the old drive and put in a spare SSD. I didn't bother restoring the diagnostic or recovery partitions. It's quite peppy now. It's also an ASUS, but purchased before they started making crap. At some point, … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience Hardware and Software by toneewa I wouldn't worry about not having any ASUS utilities. You can always download them later, [here](https://www.asus.com/support/download-center/). I consider them all bloatware. Having the partition as an MBR and then installing a Windows image as GPT, is like going to replace your spare tire and finding out it has a different lug nut bolt pattern…
