AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the unexpected automatic downloading of files while using a USB modem, despite all automatic updates being disabled. The files, named dict_cache followed by numbers, were found in the temporary folder and were linked to specific timestamps indicating when they were downloaded. The user suspected these files were related to a cracked version of Windows XP, which might have been bypassing checks for the authenticity of the operating system. After uninstalling the XP crack, the downloading ceased, leading to questions about the nature of the dict_cache files. Further investigation revealed that dict_cache files are likely temporary files associated with Java processes, particularly when running the Java Development Kit (JDK). The user sought clarification on the nature of these files and their implications.

when I'm using internet by my USB modem , I saw that lot of files downloaded automatically.. At that time all the automatic updatings (Windows, Antivirus) were OFF. I'm paying my internet bill depending on the capacity I download and upload... so this unidentified files were real problem to me..So I checked what were the files at temporary folder and I got to know those files were named as dict_cachexxxxxxxxxx(x=some numbers). those files were the downloaded files , because in properties windows of those files there were the correct time which the download was happened. to stop the downloading ,I uninstalled my XP crack(my OS isn't a original one..!) because I thought that ,those files can be the files which passes to computers to check whether the OS is original or not. further I assumed that ,because of my XP crack those checking process was neglected but continuously those files were send to my computer.. anyway after some time, uninstalling the XP crack, the downloading was stopped(dont know whether it is because of the removing of the crack ).. anyway I want to know whether my assumption is right or not and, specially I want to know what are these dict_cache files?
when searching the internet I found that there are specific files as dict_cache.. Now I want to know what are these..

Are you running JDK? dict_cache seem to be temp files associated with Java processes.
 
yes, I am running JDK... ya, maybe that is why those were there at the temporary folder... I thought those files were downloading automatically.. anyway thank you so much... if you know more about these files, please be kind enough to explain it more... thanx..
 
Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
