Are there any addons/methods to limit my downloads in Firefox (and maybe chrome). I've tried JDownloader but it can't actually grab the file I need.
>>107951049What's CPython? Some unholy mesh of C and Python?
i had a youtube video playing in safari on my ipad and lost track of making new tabs and it crashed my browser, but the problem is is as it crashed i heard one of my speakers crackle and break. i cant hear any sound come out of it or anything, what happened? i didnt realize something like that was possible and feel like i got really unlucky that something as dumb as my browser crashing damaged my device and im probably going to spend money to get it fixed or a new one if i cant get the warranty to help.

How does Windows compressed folder work?I *copied* over 150 000 text files at >10 KiB per txt into a compressed folder.Looking at the properties of the folder the "size on disk" is 37% of the real size of the txt files.Great.However! Looking at the disk itself the free space on the drive went down 400% of the real size of the txt files.What is going on? Is Windows quietly compressing the files over time and I will eventually get the space back? Or wtf is this, the CPU's System Idle Process is at 99% so it's not exactly working hard it seems... The task manager doesn't show activity on the disk either.
>>107951049Is this the stupid questions thread?
for absolutely no reason whatsoever, how do I make sure a single folder on my pc is not accessible by anyone but me?
>>107951160Really? I know its an old language and its fairly flexible unlike C due to being object-oriented, is there a history book or something about Python that I can read up on?
>>107951255I'd start with the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPythonpython can be implemented in different ways, there is not just one interpreter (or compiler if you compile your python code). CPython is the main or "reference implementation" Think of how libaom-av1 is the reference, while other av1 implementations exist such as libsvtav1 or av1_nvenc
What is the least shit laser printer and scanner I can get for a reasonable price for my fairly minimal home use needs- mostly scanning but occasionally printing black and white forms. Ideally <$300
>>107951300I exactly wanted to avoid the wiki because of how biased it can be about things. But I'll take a look.
Is running Docker on Windows a bad idea? Most popular images I need (like Plex) say they're unsupported and a bad idea due to the way Windows interacts with docker. I was hoping to play around with Docker to see if I should replace bare metal installs but guess I can't, unless I run a linux vm > docker > container which seems silly.
>>107951345it isn't really an opinion piece, I don't see how bias changes the facts
>>107951387It isn't inherently a bad idea, but there is usually an easier way to achieve the same goal for whatever you're doing. So it usually ends up being less efficient to use docker on windows
>>107945241So should I just use it as an offline word processor only then? I do own Windows ME and I've been thinking about making a retro computer explicitly for that OS, offline of course.
I recently purchased a Samsung G95SD 49" MegaMonitor. It appears that the only way to change source is:>hit the home button on the remote>*black screen, wait a few seconds*>now I'm on some kind of a smart TV thing with a bunch of ads for TV shows i don't care about>scroll all the way left for the menu>scroll down to connected devices>press right>*black screen, wait for it*>press right again>*black screen, wait for it*>press right again>now i'm on the right input. hit enter>*black screen, wait for it*>screen shows what I want it to showmy old monitor cost about 5% of what this monitor cost and it just had a button on the monitor that i could press to change sourceam i doing it wrong or is this just another example of Samsung being awful? remote has buttons for netflix, youtube and prime video but no button to switch source... thinking i ought to ask my congressman to bring the boys back home and leave these fuckers to get nuked.
what triggers this suddendly in ublock?and how do I fix it?
>>107951437I've never seen that on youtube generally they tell me "We are blocking you do to adblock" and I just refresh a couple times and it just fixes itself.
isn't the safest way to format a ssd to just encrypt it and then do a simple format?because when you're recovering the formatted data it's just going to be encrypted noise.
>>107951452it started today, and no, refresh does not fix it. disabling ublock does
>>107951437>>107951509post a video URL where you are getting blocked due to uBlock, please. want to see if it is blocked for me as well (Sweden).
>>107951516every video suddendly
>>107951591you've been blocked. change your vpn to another server.
>>107951598>vpnso just reset ip you mean?
>>107951591i doubt that but if true i didn't notice it on this random video https://youtu.be/WryVBjAuTio
