I'm wondering about flagging the general case - someone posts "I have problem mit foobar.dll", A: "go to dlls-r-us.com";; this particular one was theme-related, where modifying/ResourceHackering a dll might be a valid solution
here it is:

Annoying side effect of switching to velcro based cable ties (which I strongly recommend) is I have a fairly large bundle of recycled cable ties I have little use for ;p
(store I go to uses them for theft prevention but they usually slip off. Its a nice meditative thing to undo them if you're REALLY bored, and need something mindless to do ;p)

@HackToHell forum.thewindowsclub.com/technology-news/… out of shear lazyness? or intended trickery. When seeing errors like "something happened" i would have to go with shear lazyness :-)
Windows has NEVER really had descriptive BSOD error messages to begin with.
and I can from a business point of view actually justify the reason they lumped stuff into a "Something happened" error anyways. It basically comes down to the fact, in 2 years time, it won't matter if they have reached their goal of 400-500 million machines running Windows 10
Because the rest of the machines after 2 years will likely never be upgraded to Windows 10 and thus literally "something happened" errors messages won't even be seen.
So why spent hundreds of man hours to create more descriptive error messages when they won't be seen past 2-3 year mark.
You literally need a decoder ring to decode most windows errors messages anyways :$
and there are crasy people out there who can decode every bit of it. usually it doesnt help though because the Butterfies :-) something was flapping over there, and had little to do with the 3 hour analisis.
What has worked though is when everyone who got the same basic number showing in the error, had the same specific problems, so one could test for those things.
It is probably just a lot of work to put off on the 2 programmers left at MS who really understand the system , which has nothing to do with the multiple teams of html and xml and net writers and grafic designers. Hard enough to decode what they have done, let alone put human words on what goes wrong with it . :-)
I think we are up to like 21,000 layoffs in the place, which also included buying nokia then dissolving it into oblivion (in my words)
I am not sure if my $100 donation for thier last upgrade is going to fix anything.
@PaulVargas well it is pretty hard to do, but you could try :-) you would just destroy the whole system, because that is (basically) where it all resides.
@PaulVargas that all looks normal. there are things that you can clean, or that will automatically clean when using the windows standard cleanmgr.exe thing. and newly updated things will eventually show up in the cleaner too, as time passes for them, under the assumption that they are there to stay (not needing uninstall).
the idea being testing crasy new drugs on animals is not to effective when they are not human. Instead create a contained and contrived human biological setup in the lab using parts and pieces of what would be real human parts. . . and that (of course) would be just like a real human :-)
most of that is probably real. as the whole system and updates and a few other things are stored all there. from there things are "projected" out in hard links to form what looks to us like the whole system. So one could also say what they see in the rest of the system is also real, but it links to the same file items , it is using the same file items.
The problem with mis-reporting, is they arranged the system to work this way (as far back as updates to XP) and they made no provision in the rest of the system to show it different in size stuff, based on hard link repetition. So both items presented , both are real, hard linked to a single chunk of data on the disk.
Most of the size stuff in the system, will still count that data on the disk Hard linked twice (at least) 2 times too. That which resided in the Wsxs (or better words "Component Store") and that which is plastered all over the disk in many folders.
Using the Google Chrome Data Compression Proxy on non-Chrome browsers involves two steps.
Set your HTTP proxy to proxy.googlezip.net and port 80.
For each of your requests, calculate and inject a Chrome-Proxy

i have a zebora, plus about 6 others, and my own propriatary solar charger. The solar on them is 80% useless , but given enough time and a full on apacalypse i could watch a movie :-)
Because the wortheless solar pannels added to them add little to the cost, it is there. The biggest problems with any of this stuff are 1) the capacity is a lie. 2) the output might not be as high as it lists 3) the drivers/curcuit stuff could up and croak. And all that came way more often with cheap china junk. vrses more expencive china junk :-)
Buying them is like buying rechargable batteries, only 2 people out of 50 even seem to know what is going on , or what is inside. so reading through the reviews, try and find the geek who knows what should and shouldnt be, and easily ignore those for whom everything is a wonderment 5 minute christmas gift. and then you will probably know more before purchacing.
Other conciderations, but not nessisarily flaws. some people want it to charge at the same time is is charging something else, so your basically charging it and the device at the same time. chained. some of them will do that, some will not.
I have had many of the cheaper smaller china ones apart, i can tell you for positive that NONE of the cheap ones ever had the stated capacity of battery inside. A 2000 with a 1500 , a 2600 with a 2000 and a 3600 with a 2400. That is what was listed on the battery itself inside :-) then testing the battery it did not reach that even this lower actual capacity ever either.
If you want to be a lot more sure about the batteries, and have the batteries be replaceable, because "they will die" one of them that holds , but does not come with 4 X 18650s would allow you to test the batts, and replace them in 2 years.
there is only 1 style of xiaomi on amazon that even rates. why they clone the clones :-) it is like why they clone ultrafire batteries , when it is the worst battery out there.
Direct (anything) is good, that is one sure way to get not only real, but fresher items. when the batts do not last forever, and also have to be maintainted properly, a shelfed item might be dying before you even get it.
I have made a 4XAA version, used with eneloops, wired up Raw. It worked great, but only for the ~1700ma that it could ever put out to charge something.
@Boris_yo 2 so when you toast the one because of the crappy underrated components used, you still got one left :-)
You never really even know with this stuff if there even is 2 curcuits, or just 2 ports.
@Boris_yo mi.com/en/store if i did it right, Direct, and even cheaper than they are selling them for Whhhhaaa ? but i would still recomend say the 16 if you really want 10 :-)
There are your standard conversion losses anyways, anytime you have to "boost" from the li-ion voltage to the 5V usb, then in ya device they buck back to charging the li-ion. so it would be totally par to have 30% loss in all that.
@Psycogeek Disadvantage is that you take responsibility for your own import. If there's no safety compliance then the risk is yours. On the other hand buying from retailer who gets it from wholesale importer is safer due to import guidelines and laws imposed.
I feel safer buying charger made in China for more expensive price knowing it passed US CBP requirements and country import regulations than ordering from china store personally.
If you have the usual phone, and just need it to run all day, then anything that has 1.5X the battery in your phone would be enough. if you got a power sucking tablet , then start with a 45,000 :-)
Original was matte blue. Replacement was badly done shiny chrome plastic with randomly changing red/green/blue LEDs which made the actual power level lights impossible to read
I luv some of the power level meters in the flashlights. when it blinks 16 times then stops and blinks 14 times, then 2 times, it means the battery is at 4.37 volts
So... I found a 2009 MacBook in the trash a few days ago. I have no idea if it works or not, because I havent gotten hold of a charger to test it with yet. What should I do with it? Bonus points awarded for suggestions that have absolutely nothing to do with actually booting, running software or other normal uses for a Mac.
I would like it to have a longer lasting effect than that. Also, wouldn't I technically need to boot windows for that?
I am more thinking along the lines of: - cutting it in half and mounting on a wall as a shelf - 'hey guys, look at my new Apple-branded chopping board' - mounting trucks and using as a skateboard
I just upgraded a brand new T100 chi with 32 Gb of disk to Windows 10. The option to restore Windows 8 is not proposed though Windows.old is present.
How can I do so manually ?
First you quit depending on Microsoft , obviously that didnt work, or you wouldnt be headed back. Then you freaking do your own backup !!!
Ahh it is not how many times people need to be told that, it is just telling all 350million of them once :-)
How about Top tech news story of the week, with links to reddit , tweeted and with its own facebook page. Like all the Lame ass stuff that didnt matter :-)
Cool headline like "Fix all your windows Woes with just ONE simple program" "any one, any freaking backup program that you can find that doesnt require windows to work"
How about we have Taylor Swift write a new song. "My nonMSexual backup" she could show one nipple during the perrformance and the whole world will know.
@Boris_yo not that i know of. any one of them, any iphone, any tesla, any boeing jet (oh wait they arent doing that anymore) could have a battery problem. Bad curcuits can also create them.
Cylindrical cells can have 2 additional physical safety features that bagged cells do not have. Anode disconnect , and PTC (positive temperature coefficient) or generally called a thermister. But cheap china cells without this stuff are more dangerous than bagged because of the tight containment and metal fragging.
@Pandya jpm defines a minimum supported version of firefox / iceweasel in the package.json that is created by it's `jpm init. Currently, my package.json shows: "firefox": ">=38.0a1" but it appears you are using firefox / iceweasel 31.2.0. Lower the required version number in package.json to something below 31.2.0 (30.0 for example) , then, repackage it via jpm xpi and reinstall, or launch it via jpm run again.
@Pandya I know you are currently past this step, but I wanted to clarify that "Create/Change to new directory for extension" meant, jpm init will be creating a bunch of files in whatever folder you are in when you run jpm init, so let's create a new clean directory that will be used for building this extension and change into that new directory. I'll make sure to clarify this and the possible difference of nodejs vs. node binary names differing between distributions.
Is there any way to view the model of the a Windows Lenovo machine? Through the machine that is, and not by looking at. say, a label on the machine, as it has fallen off.
@Boris_yo But china makes everything now :-) so arent they just cloning themselves anymore :-)
@ParanoidPanda msinfo32.exe (system information) will show you enough stuff to make your eyes bleed. Control Panel\System and Security\System will show you general system info.
