"For Skylake on the desktop, the voltage regulation is moved back into the hands of the motherboard manufacture" Ohh will you make up your minds here :-)
@Ramhound Looks like this is a different problem to what I'm facing here at work. IE11 closes correctly, it just refuses to open any old tabs that were open.
@MichaelFrank and your sure no parts and pieces of IE are still shown hanging around in the processes list? (i am very interested in still fixing this) The re-open tabs was all interrelated to this, even if different people see differentthings.
I should have just made a dang batch that nukes stuff. like a toggle batch, On on the first round, Off Fully when pushed and the program is still running.
I still do not see a real reason why people with sandybridge who kicked up the extra 25% , or ivy or haswell, would toss everything and start again with skylake. I could see that anyone using win10 and buying new would be sitting pretty. or any new laptops and all would be doing great.
Even some of the comments in the skylake analisis , seem to have a bit of Relief in thier voices :-) Whew! thank god that didnt change things hugely , or i would have to upgrade everything again .
More like spend $1000 bucks for a new primo system, and the time it takes to build and perfect it, to get a few percentage points of over all performance, and faster word processing. I can wait.
Why $1000 ? must have new motherboard, must have new cpu chip, must have really expencive (at the moment) new memory to get all the advantages.
Is it more likely that not having really been able to do mass changes with the clock or size of stuff, or mass changes just because of how well things were done before. that the new chip is just like a Pre-Overclocked GPU. Pushed to the edge for you.
There was a specific number of lanes piped out of the cpu before, and hubbing the lanes was not improvement. (although intel hubbing the lanes would be optimal) The lanes were always capable of being used different ways on different boards. a bit more sata , the USB3 or the grafics. So they introduced another method to shift the lanes around. I do not understand how that differs? it became harder to find boards using the lanes the way You want, for your specific needs. what changed?
Became harder when they needed the lanes for M2 usb3 , and other cool new features not everyone used. out of the CPU only so many lanes to go around, and at the cpu level what changed ?
@DragonLord Oh duhh right, the really good increase on the built in GPU, would change the power spec lots.
But built in gpus mean little to "enthusiest" a lot more to anyone buying a new laptop without any additional gpu.
The direct interfacing of SSD on the motherboards , does not thrill me a lot, only because stuff like that changes so much. if it goes in a normal slot, or works with the regular SATA junk , it is a lot more transferable to other places. For a Netbook or a laptop though it is eacactally what they need.
There's an FM radio station I listen to very often, and I really like the way they mix the songs. Much better than simply shuffling my music. I happen to have the vast majority of the songs they play, all properly tagged mp3's @ 320kbps. I would like to have an automated function that tunes in to...
What? because i never heard of a playlist :-) and it has been hard to find ways to jam all the advertinging in too .
Vritual DJ , complete with ad cartriges. plays the same tune every day, Features Payoloa sensitivity adjustments, Cortana song announcing, rotating ads. Reshuffle and random priority.
@Psycogeek Interesting question. I don't think it'd work with his method, but you could potentially scrape the now playing data off the station's website (assuming they show it) and have a dynamic playlist update at a 15-30 minute offset to account for the advert and announcer rubbish.
@MichaelFrank much better idea than trying to do a fuzzy sound matching, and eventually playing the same song
Reddit made some sweeping OMG moderation quarentine and banning today, I went to see what that noise was about , as much freedom as the place has had. They knocked out some racists, virtual psudo child porn , and the bottom .01% of the place. not a big loss in my opinion.
Some of the sub communities taken out, i would refrain from even posting thier titles :-) just because they dont allow such hate speech in my country/state.
"Hackers Exploited Yahoo’s Flash Ads for Six Whole Days" "The exploit worked like this: Hackers bought a number of ads that would be propagated through Yahoo’s network of sites. Ads don’t usually appear on their own—they come loaded with a package of scripts that track metrics for ad companies. In this case, the hackers’ code eventually redirected to a script that exploited computers using older versions of Adobe Flash" http://motherboard.vice.com/read/hackers-exploited-yahoos-flash-ads-for-six-whole-days?utm_source=mbfb
Oh My I was visiting yahoo for those days. Guess i should have had flash installed, cause i missed all the fun.
pastebin.com/6Qj8X22c someone version of shredding win10 (not suggesting to even try it). All the discussion on removing and shutting it down is going on fast and now. By the time i get around to that OS, there is going to be an overload.
People had indicated the possibility of full removal of items from this new OS, not just turning them "off" and having them hang out in the component store , but the dismal changes in actual size people are getting, does not indicate that there is any full removal still.
Plus , even with some high skilled people turning stuff off and removing it, some of it is being put back the way it was (files and registry) as the system goes to protect itself. (like if a virus or user fault had done the same)
Windows Vista was really bad, so they made 7, then they just had to get rid of the start menu in 8 (what were they thinking), and tried to fix it in 10.
@JohnDoe Well you will then be happy to know that "windows 10 is the last OS you will ever need" I mean "the first of a great new era" I mean "another attempt to please the investors"
@JourneymanGeek IIRC about equivalent to a late/high-end P4 in raw performance, but the multi-core would improve responsiveness at the cost of slower batch tasks.
the service packs not only had a ton of fixes, but they were tested to be plopped in in one move (or assembled proper on install disks) There are times when i have seen Hundreds of updates end up messing things up. all these little changes.
Can anyone tell me where a windows "tiles" start kind of screen layers at? 1) Stays on desktop 2) Can pop to front like program 3) ever pops to front with start menu in win 10?
4) blocks wallpaper always ? 5) is little different than having desktop icons & gadgets stuck on the desktop 6) isnt accessable when you got 15 windows covering the screen without peeking etc.
2 modes exist, where it is all over the desktop (with wallpaper sneaking through transparent) called tablet mode. and Desktop mode where it seems to be riding around with the start menu. Looking at the reviews they really have managed to pull off a best of both worlds customise/change. I could see on a tablet where i would be doing the tablet designated things, especially when seeing someone use the touch. And the desktop mode looks like a good method for it.
I wonder why they went all white white white , and such lame icons for the base operating stuff the work. Then completely reverse that and in the featured programs is is a fully dark scheme. such contrast.
@Boris_yo i am on 4.1 still. i spent weeks setting up that phone with everything 350 tested to work games, media players, both walking and street maps , scripting so everyting talks and is automated, test test, buttons for all settings, full tech analisis page for discovery. Tossing all that for an upgrade :-) i dont think sooo.
(oh plus it all works 100% and doesnt give google my information)
Cooler features i saw on new android was "windows" yup android has windows and microsoft doesnt :-) the ability to multitask 2 programs at once. The phone had some minor version of that in it called Qslide or something. has zero value on the small screen.
the other great thing that was changing was a new method that would improve speed new library , by optomisation of programs . . . made for it. That doesnt help me unless i re-discover programs (hours and hours) trying to find new ones that are just as good.
and i got the recorder for stereo audio, camera app was primo already, and built-in a remote control for a tv/stereo/cable box too. to bad none of my devices needing remote control :-( are listed in it.
Hi. I have a quick question that probably doesn't warrant a proper question submission as it may have already been asked but I'm not entirely sure what to search for.
I need to pull specific bits of data (not all) out of csv files and make it into a database format. I'm using Excel as I was told that it's actually fairly decent with databases these days (I hope this is correct).
Here's an example... I formatted it to show the repeating info (the bold titles). The non bold text is the data I need to pull.
The problem is that every file varies in length because there are differing amounts of hazard and precautionary statements so I can't just pull out D39:D48, for example, on every file.
@Psycogeek You tested and optimized everything just for your Android version 4.1? How would upgrading negate any of that?
Android Lollipop:
Fixes a bug with TRIM support, which prevented devices from the nightly on-charger cleanups of file system allocations if the device was turned off while being charged, or if it was charged during the day.
TRIM? I think my Chinese tablet lacks TRIM. It's ridiculously laggin'
Excel has little to nothing to do with a proper database afaik
What kind of "database format" are you talking about?
What do you actually want to do with it?
Are you talking some SQL database (postgres? mysql? sqlite? mssql? oracle?)?
Are you talking a non-relational database? (some nosql thing? non-indexed flat file on disk? technically xml and csv are valid 'database' formats)
You say you want to "pull" data. Where do you want to put said that?
That'll heavily affect the optimal method.
Excel is suboptimal for doing anything but exporting said data back into csv or its own (xls/xlsx) format.
Basically: you need to be more specific about the input format and the output format.
Once you've figured that out, it can probably be largely done with a shell script, or some quick scraper written in just about any scripting language (python, perl, powershell, bash, whatever)
Also, that does not look like 'proper' csv at all.
csv is primarily for tabular data... that one looks like it'd be better formatted as xml, json, etc, since you have nested data
where do you want to put said data* (typo several lines up)
@bob I suspect that this data will need to be edited before it can be used regardless but I was planning to get it all into a basic relational database. there are around 500 files so it wouldn't be huge. I've no idea why it looks the way it does. It didn't seem like a normal csv file to me either.
If you want it in a relational database, then you need to figure out which fields you might want to query on. And then some of those would be split into different tables.
@marcusdoesstuff Ow.
@marcusdoesstuff Basically, "I want this in a database" doesn't make much sense without knowing how you'll use the database.
I need to get it into a form where we can pull out specific parts like the hazard info... most importantly the codes, the classification, etc, so we can use it to make a risk score (in combination with contact levels in the workplace etc). we can then work with that score to rank items and see where we can improve safety on (eg, a corrosive that is handled manually every day is high risk... one that is piped is low).
On the side of that, we need to be able to pull up info from the SDS in simplified form for the situation (as the SDS are mostly red tape garbage).
eg. we have a spill of product x... we can ask it about that and it'll tell us what to do. if it's flammable, don't use metal shovels of turn on light switches etc.
@marcusdoesstuff If you always know the substance you want to look up, or you only ever iterate through all substances at once, a relational database isn't too useful.
If you ever want to do the opposite (search for substances that cause X), then relational could be useful.
@Boris_yo I was told that doing a firmware upgrade would reset settings and delete things? If that isnt true, then could be i should try OTA upgrading it. but that still leaves how do i get it back, without having hooked it up and grabbed what is there, with not so simple processes. Everything works 100% and it has everything i could possibly want. Messing that up would be a disaster. Plus there was some stuff that was very old to begin with, i was lucky still worked at all.
IMO your best bet is to grab some external scripting language, learn how to connect it to an Access DB, and use it as a scraper.
My personal preference would be C# (LINQPad), Python or PowerShell, but most languages have some way to connect them to an Access DB, and most languages can perform text scraping.
But you'd have to learn the language and learn SQL...
@marcusdoesstuff Pure regex would be ineffective here.
At the very least you'd have to write a line-by-line parser.
Might be able to use regex to extract info from each line.
it might be best for me to pick one that would be useful in other areas... like java could be handy for web stuff. of python is fairly versatile for stuff i use too.
