I use a big single partition on a 1TB platter drive with Windows 10. I would like to shrink the partition down so that I can mirror the drive to a smaller but faster 256GB SSD.
I bought the drive without planning much. (Oops.) I saw that I'm only using 195GB and thought, "damn why don't I spe...
Yea like thats gonna work. I am now using 195Gig and (why it is just so small) that it would fit on a 256G disk, that probably formats out to 240, and will be filled in 2 months or less.
Great idea there to put on SSD, but the law of "find a hole and fill it" says you probably need a much better clean-up and orginisation before tossing out the HD.
And Why all the trouble? any good cloning programs will clone to a smaller disk as long as the data will fit on it. Why nobody mentions that 1 good program , would beat piddling with BS and 3 half-way done thing.
i think my browser has at most used about 1Gig, but i am the one that wonders how 15K of text and 340K of pictures , and 7K of javajunk ammounts to 2 gig.
We used to run whole computing system with 8gig , now the browser thinks it deserves that?
I suppose it is important for a browser to cache all of a youtube, that a person would never watch again in thier whole life, and ad-blocking alone probably takes 5gig or so :-) just for the list of things to block.
top500.org/system/177170 is this a 4megaWatt computer? how much would it cost in power alone to run such a system where you are? I calculate about $1300 per hour here. gee gotta have one of those.
so.. I tried to have Windows "refresh" itself because it wouldn't boot (BSOD) and now it won't even enter recovery. It just BSODs, reboots, BSODs, reboots, etc. How can I get it to boot external media now? Since UEFI came out it seems the usual keyboard shortcuts don't work..
I want the storage server to reduce performance after licence expired instead of power off which seems to be violent. I have considered limit net speed,however some customer may just use Fibre Channel to communication. As a storage server, it mainly access data through disk, so how to limit disk ...
I used that (it has some magical Nvidia NVENC tool bundled with it) to reencode a 41 GB video to 20 GB without losing any perceivable quality in about an hour
You two have already had Christmas the time when it would've made sense to open presents if you actually worshipped/practiced/observed/faked Christmas, so... Merry Christmas! :S (feels weird saying that) ... my Xmas is due to arrive in 3-6 hours
and my Xmas is more of a commercial gathering to celebrate "yay, here's what we can do with our money!" than anything else
Of course Xmas is now not really a religious celebration at all, more of an excuse to spend money (consumers) and make a profit (suppliers). Most of what we now traditionally do at Xmas is a new tradition (last 200 years).
@DavidPostill Druids? Never took them as party members. They combined spiritiual spelles with magic spells but they had limit of levels for spells they can learn. To me it's better to pick one who is dedicated to master one skill than multiple.
@Boris_yo i dont know, because they can be used togehter? the right one looks like it is intended to be used as a flash attachement. i found that a piece of white cardboard and changing the angle of the flash head (straight up bounce off the cardboard) did the same thing for the total costs of Free, because the cardboard came with some packaging :-)
led rings can be very useful for macro shots, many things make macro shots hard, holding still enough, getting close enough, and the camera blocking all other lighting your trying to use. for non moving objects one of them "copy stands" and any ol magnifying glass has worked out for very close macro shots. copystands , solid mount for camera 2 cheezy light sockets .
. . . because that copystand was already here as used for slow time RGB scanning stuff a long time ago in a far off land , complete with RGB filter wheel. so it still works to "hold camera" have lights with those snake bendy holders to aim.
My cardboard reflector attachment for the flash, dangling there with a piece of tape, also requires zero extra space , can be flipped in, in seconds, and is not at all as good as proper difusion, but I dont use a downstream flash that often anyways.
because (i know) you want to see what crasy shit like that looks like :-)
to take live pics of a led , close enough to see the tiny wiring that connects the emitters, but mostly to just see how it works.
@Boris_yo even cleaned-up it looks far worse than that, and spreads for many tens of feet.
there is so much crap on my electronics workbench, that i usually assemble things just from stuff that is still laying out, because I knew i would someday need it, so why put it away :-) laundry looks like that at times too
That is what i mean by copy stand, the B/W video camera i finnaly tossed out. the lights are aimed all assbackwards because it isnt being used as a copy stand again. plus there was 2X swing arm tube florecent lamp things attached to it also. just about any combo of light could be klumisily moved into place, all cheap stuff.
(basically there's a maximum amount over the base amount you can be charged by an ISP for data. So, in theory if you accidentally leave youtube playing multiple 4k videos all day... you're still fine. One something)
@qasdfdsaq Yea, you could always just queue up a few giant downloads (and hope local towers aren't too slow). But just normal usage I'd be surprised if most people could use a tenth of that.
I just don't do roaming. But apparently it's 50c/MB on this plan, so it's not quite as ridiculous as some others. Still crazy high compared to a local SIM.
> Meanwhile, Telecommunication operators, the Australian Telecommunications-Regulator ACMA, and rail-operators are in a discussion about whether to free up spectrum in the DCS-1800 band for public mobile services.
Wait, sorry. Singtel only have band 8 and 3 here, nothing on 7
WCDMA band 8, which should be the slowest, is actually the fastest. Band 1 is broken. LTE band 8 is exectedly slow as fuck, whereas band 7 is barely receivable and the phone will never lock on in auto mode
It really doesn't compensate for missing packets at all, so your action has a 2% chance of just disappearing. That's really fun when, say, you reload and 5 secs later you realise the reload never happened and you're out.
Those are great too. Moving fine, then you teleport forward and back half the map for a few secs until the connection stabilises. (that's what happenes when someone saturates limited ADSL upstream and ping spikes to >1s for a bit)
My last real attempt at using public wifi was nearly half a decade ago too, so that doesn't help. Kinda gave up on it and just carried my own around with me.
