RaspberryPi Raspbian slow mouse performace.

I recently installed Raspbian Buster on a new RaspberryPi 4 PC and noticed that the mouse pointer within the operating system was performing very poorly.  After searching online I was enlightened to find out that the quick fix was to edit the cmdline.txt file located in the boot directory.

1. Either start a BASH instance in Raspbian or SSL into the Raspbian instance(After SSL is enabled in Raspbian)

2. At the BASH prompt command line, enter:
    
    sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

This will open the nano text editor so cmdline.txt can be edited.

3. Add the following entry at the end of all the text that is already there:

    usbhid.mousepoll=0





4. Save the current state of the file by entering Ctrl+O

5. Exit the nano text editing instance by entering Ctrl+X

6. Make sure you do a reboot of your Raspbian instance by typing in: sudo reboot in BASH. You can also do a manual reboot if your within the GUI interface as well.

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Looks like Microsoft did sneak a new on demand anti-malware scanner past us. Most would have been unaware of the new application if not for keeping up with various IT newletters, blogs and web sites, such as I do on a daily basis. This small application is downloaded as an .exe file and instead of being installed onto your Windows enironment, it is just ran directly from the .exe file to start the scanning process. One of the downsides to the program is that you have to re-download the file again, after ten days, to include the latest definitions for the program. If your willing to live with the small inconvienence, it looks like a good additional on-demand malware scanner, in additional to you main persistant anti-malware program. Just don't depend on this one alone as your main anti-malware program for your Windows OS environment. Microsoft Safety Scanner download

"Could not Open Install.Log File" Uninstall Problem

I was recently trying to uninstall an unused game from my wifes computer when during the uninstall process, I got, a "Could not Open Install.Log File" error. The uninstall of the program terminated and closed out with unwanted program still being there. After searching a bit, I found the answer. It looks like this error is probably specific to a certain type of install/uninstall program called "Wise Installation Wizard". The answer to uninstall these type of installs follows: 1. Open the directory where the program is installed. (Ex. For System Mechanic 5, By default, it is C:\Program Files\iolo\System Mechanic 5,if you have installed XP on C:\) 2. You will see a file named "Install.log" in there. 3. Move (cut and paste somewhere else) the "install.log" to say desktop. 4. Now, double click the uninstaller (uninstall.exe or unwise.exe) 5. It will ask you to open the installation log. Locate to the "install.log" file on your desktop. ...

How To Root Kyocera Rise v4.0.4 No PC Required

I recently purchased the budget Android phone, the Kyocera Risa, by Virgin Mobile and was looking for the best way to Root my device. I did find an excellent guide to doing this: How To Root Kyocera Rise v4.0.4 No PC Required Although the Rise is a bit limited by it's internal hardware, I found that rooting this phone did improve performance as well as opening up various flexible options to other software apps, that would not have been possible otherwise. The Rise does not support Custom ROMS, unfortunately, but there is some level of customization with apps such as ROM Toolbox, Pimp My Rom and Nova Launcher.
