How to Delete “Printer Health Monitor” & “Printer Health Monitor Logon” Schedule Tasks in Windows

by

I usually put my gaming PC to sleep after playing. However, a while ago, I noticed it turned it self back on. At first I thought I must have forgotten to turn it off. But then realized that it was turning it self back on. After some googling, I figured out it was two HP printer scheduled tasks. So I deleted them, and moved on. Then after a few weeks, the behavior was back. Turns out, they come back every few weeks. So with the help of ChatGPT, and some editing on my own. I came up with this powershell script that deletes the tasks. You can run it manually, or you can schedule a task (I set it up daily) quite ironically to delete them. If there’s enough interest. I can edit this post with directions on how to do that, or make a video tutorial. But for now, you can download the script and I’ll also paste the code if you’d like to copy/paste without downloading.

I had to rename the powershell script to .txt to upload it. Once you download it, just rename it to HP.ps1

LG 38WN95C-W Release Date

by

I recently was researching screens for a new PC, and after a few days of researching I picked the LG 38WN95C-W. I liked the ultra wide aspect ratio, 144hz refresh rate for gaming, Thunderbolt 3, fast response time, and higher resolution (3840×1600) than the other monitors in same size/similar aspect ratio. However this monitor is not out yet. I saw no release date, so I went to twitter. Some others had asked LG in their countries, but no reply. This morning LG Canada replied to me with a June 7th 2020 Release Date.

Update: The Release Date has been changed to second week of July. Customers in the States have already started to receive their monitors.

Update: LG 38WN95C-W is now available on Newegg and Amazon.ca from third party sellers for ~2200$ – 2300$

Apple announces FaceTime for Mac

by

FaceTime Mac OS X

Today at the Back to the Mac event Apple introduced a couple of new things, one of them being Facetime for Mac OS X. This means you can now use your Mac to make free phone calls to iPhone 4, iPod touch, and other Mac users. I find this really cool, it is a step up from skype, and is free anywhere in the world. You can download the beta today, and start using it.

I just tried it and it’s pretty cool, looks like they just ported it from the iPhone 4/iPod Touch and just made some modifications to the interface. One thing that I found annoying is that you can’t just type in a number or email you want to FaceTime with, it has to be in your address book, or in your recents tab. Other than that it works well! You do have to sign up for an account, if you don’t already have an Apple Id.
