nitsuga posted:OP might still need Audacity to add silence for the offset though, right? Or is VLC that cool? Hmmm, the :audio-desync option appears to not work correctly with the additional audio stream. The j & k keys for manual delay do still work, so if it's just a little bit off you can do that. Otherwise yeah you'd need to edit the 2nd audio source, but at that point you may as well re-mux the streams into a new file as spincube suggested. edit: oh wait, Jack Trades wants to play both the original audio track and the new audio track at the same time. The internet says that's supposed to be possible with --sout-all command line switch but it doesn't seem to work in this case. TBQH I'd google for whatever rifftracks and those people use for their stuff Klyith fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Sep 24, 2022 |

There's no explicit recommendation in the OP so I'm hoping someone can assist - what's the best AV/Malware protection available right now? At my office we used webroot for a while but switched to Sentinel One after a cybersecurity incident, and it has been terrific - a bit intense and unavailable for home use it seems, but I'm open to anything. I've got BitDefender, and I paid for it, but it is driving me absolutely insane with the loving popups. I've tried everything they list in the forums but their official line is still "if it blocks an attack you will always get a popup because you may need to take action" - well apparently the world's hackers love me because I get attacked every five minutes, but the goddamn popups take "control" as top window so it interrupts emails, work that I'm doing, virtual presentations... I've had enough. So - any paid solution I'm totally fine with, and free solutions are fine as well. Protection from hacks, password stealing, banking info, etc is very important so I do just want the best that I can get.

Defender (that is, the built-in AV) is Good Enough these days for most home users (and even enterprises). Don't turn down your UAC settings or you're fighting an uphill battle. Browser ad-blockers also help with avoiding malware. And should go without saying, but keep your software - especially windows and browsers (easy since they do it automatically by default) - up to date. AV can only do so much when you choose to run known exploits by not patching. AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Oct 2, 2022 |

I've had enough. Just use Defender. The business of most modern AV is not to actually offer real protection, but to provide the illusion of protection while driving sales / up-selling. Most AV software actually increases the number of attack vectors available to potential malware. Don't pay for AV. Just use Defender. Stop clicking on stupid poo poo.

It has been a very long time since I have acted as a domain admin of some variety, so what I'm about to say is dated information and should be treated as such. Historically, AV in the business is way less about being an 'Anti-Virus' solution and a lot more about being, 'Remote Domain Management With Features and Stuff' solution. So, one of the things we did with our AV solution at the time was we tracked when people plugged in USB storage, what they moved on and off of it, and what they ran off of it. We had some flags where if you ran something we didn't recognize, we'd silently block that hoping to prompt a ticket so we could look at it more. We also applied a bunch of specific policies that you couldn't (or were hard) to do with GPO. The actual Antivirus part of it was borderline useless, but we did get mileage out of the management tools. An older, wiser version of me however thinks that you could probably accomplish all of that with better Sys Admins who know more about GPO and Window's built in features.

My agency is full of olds and there is no such thing as "stopping them from clicking on poo poo". We use McAfee on all the machines and, well, we haven't had any compromises in over a decade and we get good reporting on what gets quarantined, and we've only rarely had a false positive pop, and we usually catch those in test. I'm pretty sure we don't let people jam unencrypted USB devices in anything, so unless someone finds some novel malware that executes on merely detecting the device, I'm not too concerned with that. I'm not sure what we have scanning exchange, though. Not my area. Can you do with just Defender? Probably. Should you set up reporting and alerts regardless of what you use? Absolutely.

You can manage the Windows-integrated Defender with Intune as well to get a subset of those feature.

I've got an Excel spreadsheet I use for marking, and then use Word to mail merge it. One of the sections is used for flagging up spelling errors. I enter the problematic word, and then it concatenates it together eg to: You have spelt "specific" incorrectly. I would love that to be output as You have spelt specific incorrectly. Is it possible in Word with a mail merge to make it format anything in a certain part as bold if surrounded by speech marks? It would make it that little bit clearer. Thanks

I admit I am pretty bad with mail merge but a search for "conditional mail merge" seemed to give a bunch of tutorials that might help? I'm not sure how Word is meant to flag up spelling errors in a mail merge, though... are you relying on Word to sanitise Excel cell entries that might be incorrect?

Is there a way to have a mouse keep moving even if you've stopped it? I play Dead By Daylight and use mouselook, and there are times where I need to do a complete 360 turning the mouse, but I only have so much space on my desk. I can pick the mouse up, move it, then continue moving it but by then it becomes too late. It'd be nice if there was a way to set it up so "Move mouse Left it keeps moving left until you move a different direction"

Along those lines, some mice have a physical button for toggling between high and low sensitivity, or for cycling through a few sensitivity levels. The mouse I use, for example, has a button that cycles between 800, 1200, and 1600 DPI.

FanControl is a free and amazing lightweight fan control (duh) app, especially if you are looking to implement custom case fan curves based on current GPU temperatures, which AFAIK is not supported in most BIOSes yet. For example, in my use case with my 2 custom curves: My rear fan spins 60% at minimum at all times, goes to 100% when GPU hits 72C. My 2 front fans remains off until GPU hits 72C after which both goes 100%. Hysteresis is supported to minimize underwanted fan fluctuations.

But you can enable what you're talking about natively by going to "Projecting to this PC" in settings on the spare laptop, then connecting to it from Display settings on the main laptop.

Yes, assuming the drive was not encrypted with bitlocker, which on Win10 you would have to have chosen intentionally. (Actually you probably can boot off it, 10 is pretty good about dealing with hardware changes including even swapping between Intel & AMD. Combo of improvements made by MS, and PC hardware finally getting to the point where all the important stuff is either an open standard or supports an open standard for basic functionality in addition to the proprietary drivers.)

And if you do have bitlocker on, it's no worse than entering your recovery key when it asks. If you signed into windows 10 with a Microsoft account, you can look it up in your account settings online.

I hope this is the right place to ask but I'm not sure where to put it. I really need to save two videos on two different sites just incase they are ever deleted I'd like to have my own copy. One video is on YouTube and one is on the PBS.com site. I've tried some chrome extensions but none of them worked. Is there an easy way to save these? One of them is small news story that PBS did with my father and I'd like to have it saved to another place. Anyone have a suggestion here?

jdownloader 2 is a very powerful tool and it almost always works, and I believe it's well-regarded by the internet. I personally use it because I grew up on an internet where you can right click images and videos and save them and it's loving stupid to not maintain that functionality into the future.

Stupid question: For the first time ever, I set my wallpaper to change every 24 hours from images in a folder. Except that it picks a different image for each of my monitors. I don't see an option to make both monitors use the same random image. Am I missing something? I guess I could edit the files to be double images and select "span" for the fit, but that's stupid if that's the only option. They're all illustrations by different artists with different styles, colors, line weights, and themes. They clash! Uthor fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Nov 19, 2022 |

the other day, I activated the Transcription feature of Microsoft Teams for the very first time ever and I was solidly impressed with how well it worked is there a piece of software that can just do plain speech-to-text as a way for me ... ti type? Like, I open it up and press a button and start talking and it takes it down for the purpose of me copy-pasting the text output to use in an email (or a forum post?) for that matter, is the quality of such transcription likely exclusive to Teams, such that any other solution I might try will not be of the same caliber?
