Sweevo posted:i had to get a capture card maybe 8-10 years ago to digitise some camera tapes for my family. the software installed itself to load at startup, and every time it opened it pegged the CPU at 100% for 10 minutes while it scanned for channels, and the PC would just lock up for ~30 seconds every time you pressed a button in the IR remote i almost went this route but then i found a pretty affordable dvd+vcr combo that would let me record vhs to dvd. dvd ripping was super easy and i only had ~15 tapes to do. this was also cheaper than taking it to a place that specialized in doing this sort of thing.

qsvui posted:how pressing middle click lets you scroll up or down a page by moving your mouse up and down. does anyone actually use this? way back in the day i had a logitech "wingman" three button mouse (no scroll wheel) and i used that feature all the time then. that was like circa 1999. now i use a mac and it doesn't do this; i use "mac mouse fix" to make it launch ~mission control~ when i double click it tho

i switched away from google photos when i realized i'd somehow turned on the "space optimizer" option for like 18 months. i don't remember ever turning it on; i made sure it was off when they first rolled out that option and my photos from then were "original quality" so i think it was when i migrated to a new phone and then was "fixed" when I moved to a newer phone after that. i never actually switched it to "original quality" either after the very first time i did; i only think it was on because i noticed a lot of my photos were set to "space optimizer" individually even though the option was off in my settings. now i pay for icloud instead and use apple photos. gently caress you google.

apple is far from perfect but i appreciate they still support the idea of having your photos stored both locally and in the cloud. when i was still using google photos i was doing a google takeout export every few months because afaik they don't let you sync photos locally anymore.

Beeftweeter posted:lol better make sure icloud isn't transcoding your stuff to HEIC/HEVC then where did you get the idea it does? are you thinking about when they changed the camera default to heic but continued to not change the format of existing files and if you changed it back to jpeg it would respect that and not change it again? and either way it was preserving the photos at the highest resolution you saved them as? is that the one? anyway my stuff is already in heic/hevc

to be completely clear there is information that is worth saving and i'm glad people are saving it i've also lost personal data that i valued but that wasn't by choice. by choice i delete all kinds of data and it makes it easier for me to find and appreciate the data i do value.

i've never zapped a component into oblivion but one time i had a computer case open in the high school computer lab to show someone the different components and someone else yelled "hey let's play craps", picked up the screws, tossed them into the case like a handful of dice, and that computer never worked again vOv
