USB 3 on VirtualBox

I run win 7 in a virtual machine. it was not recognizing my usb 3 device (data traveler usb 3.0 stick), it was greyed out. I had to shut down the windows of the VM, then I switched to usb 3, still not working after restarting.
the intel usb 3 support should be installed in the win 7 (my virtual os) in this case to support usb 3
grab it here
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/21129/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-for-Intel-7-Series-C216-Chipset-Family?product=65855

if you have a difference cpu (the cpu of the vm is the same as that of the host machine), then get it from the relevant page.


then usb was showing as attached to the virtual machine, but nothing happened in win 7 (no message or error, the usb started to show under diskpart list in cmd console)
simply open cmd console, type diskpart , list volumes

This second issue is because of ExFat format that I did on the host (not windows). Somehow the windows cannot recognize it. Now I had to use the clean command of diskpart:
first select the problematic disk:

select disk0
clean
if you still have issues, grab the usb and format it under another windows system, then insert it in the virtual machine and it will work.

how to delete a device from airdoid

if you cannot see an x beside the device name in the options/settings of your airdroid web sessoin:
-sign out from the web session on the computer
-sign in on the new device: install the app on the new phone, sign in by selecting web session and entering your credentials.
-now go back to the computer and refresh the page, you will sign in to the new device in the pc and can see its content. Now if you open the 'devices' tab, you will see the new device and the old device. The old device is now removable. Ditch it. Done.

Permanent folds in pants after washing


discolored folds in a pant after washing that will never go away?
I used to get them when I used a bag to enclose the garments. The bag (it looked like a net actually) is supposed to protect garments and make them live longer, but they restrict the movement of the pieces inside the drum and as such the folds stay the same and with friction they discolor. This oddly happened only with pants, even if I wash them inside out. So, I ditched the bag.



The Deutsche Post sent me a letter, indicating that I have a parcel to be cleared and that I have 7 calendar days starting from the date of issuing the letter!! seriously? it took two days to arrive to me. What the fuck!
