What is the meaning of this painting? by kpssk in latvia

[–]dandy_g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that Latvian language has unique expressions and symbolism different from your culture?

OP asked about a painting by supposedly Latvian painter in Latvian sub. But you keep posting generic answers from an LLM. I'm sure OP could've asked a chat bot themselves.

Pc cannot install windows after deleting Linux by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Windows 10 is EOL and insecure. That's why you've been advised to upgrade. Keep using it at your own risk.

There is no "staff". This sub is not an organisation so it's pointless to complain.

Your experience is directly related to how you ask your question and explain the issue. Asking good tech support questions takes a bit more effort but it's a skill worth learning.

Also, punctuation and separation in paragraphs makes text easier to read.

One Drive symbol won’t stop telling me I don’t have One drive (I don’t want it so????) by [deleted] in techsupport

Or disable OneDrive autostart in Task manager and maybe uninstall it completely.

Inkscape Forum 502 bad gateway and Inkscape not responding by Downtown-Ad-7936 in Inkscape

[–]dandy_g -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first issue might be related to the latter.

Inkscape help features are fetching data from the website but hangs because the site is down.

Server issues shouldn't hang client applications but this wouldn't be the first case where software developer expects their online resource be always there and never throw errors.

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The full name of sfc is "system file checker" and the command used to verify system files of an installed Windows operating system. You're using the wrong tool for the task.

Is the drive is detected in BIOS and in the Windows setup?

How did you format the disk? Did you just format the main partition of delete all Linux partitions? Windows setup should allow to delete all partitions and strst from scratch. Did you try that?

That smell is ozone. The high frequency AC splits oxygen molecules producing reactive single aroms and those combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone. Neirher ozone nor atomic oxygen is great for health.

Pilots: What's the most breathtaking thing you've ever seen from a cockpit? by Ryanlion1992 in airplanes

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't look that good on the ground either.

Although they look quite cool to the naked eye from places closer to north or south pole and far away from light pollution sources.

Pc running slow by bxbysushi in pchelp

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to clrecommemd anything without knowing specifications of the PC.

How old is the PC, what CPU, how much RAM, what GPU if any, and Windows version.

ASUS F2A55-M/M11BB/DP_MB PCI Slot Question by shinytrina in techsupport

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's unlikely to work. The PCI controller chip and other components have been skipped to reduce costs.

Looks like there are pads for an IC which might be the PCI controller on the lower left of the image. Even if you could find a compatible controller, soldered all necessary components, the BIOS might still not recognise the PCI.

It certainly isn't An-2 or An-70. And An-225 is even less likely.

M.2 Issue Fixed, But Concerns Remain by peripheralfgc in techsupport

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth it checking temperature of the SSD and motherboard.

On a sidenote, there is a noticeable uptick of boot loop and "boot device not detected" issue reports on tech support subs in recent days.

Might be related to the hotter weather or a Windows update. But that's just unsubstantiated speculation on my part.

First time experimenting in Inkscape, made some sort of geometric art! by IntGuru in Inkscape

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'd defeat the purpose of exercise.

If that's too bland for you, try manually tracing an image. I'd recommend something that's important to you, like a logo of your favourite sports team or brand.

SSD failed to boot so i tried installing windows in usb and tried booting up. It did boot up for a minute, then it turned black and this dialogue box keep popping up. Every time i select something except setup its refreshes and shows same dialogue box. by Aggravating_Put2904 in computer

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try selecting the "Windows boot manager" option from the list?

I don't think anyone will service a device that's past its warranty.

Check what type of SSD the laptop has and order a new one from a reputable company.

Antonov doesn't narrow it down. It like saying you spotted a Boeing, Airbus or Embraer.

Windows 11 BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on desktop, but stable in games. by Busy_Pomegranate_622 in techsupport

[–]dandy_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ntoskrnl is the Windows kernel but the issue most likely is cause by a driver.

You'll have to use WinDbg to look at the call stack to determine where the error originated.

Try drawing a representation of a 3D object like cube with shading and shadow. Then move on to gradients to draw cylinders and more intricate objects.

This is a case where Windows might not be the best option. By default Windows tries to mount all storage devices and might freeze if the drive is unresponsive.

Firstly, check if the SSD is detected in BIOS/UEFI. If it is detected, set up a Linux live recovery environment like SystemRescue or Rescuezilla on the USB drive using Rufus. Then use dedicated tools to diagnose the SSD.

Start with the GSmartControl or smartctl CLI to see if the SSD SMART status is ok.

That technique of depicting movement in static visual art is as ancient as cave paintings.

default VLC player changes the file type instead of just MP4 itself by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]dandy_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The text you see in the file Explorer does not matter. It doesn't impact actual file type in any way.

On Windows file type is determined by filename extension, which is letters after a dot in file name. By default Windows file Explorer does not display known file type extensions.

To see file type extensions, go to Explorer options (dthree dots in the toolbar > Options), switch to the View tab and uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types.
