How do I inject my 'acestep --port 7888' command into my batch? The first line activates but I can't get any combination of commands to continue.
>>
>>106519926
Don't you need to use CALL for this?
>>
>>106519963
yea, okay. I put call in the wrong line I guess. Thank you.
>>
>>106520109
Looking around it seems you can also use conda's "run" command as well
conda run -n ace_step acestep --port 7888

Something like this.

From the last thread:
>>106511172

I'm looking for recommendations for drive cloning utilities that are reliable & free for Win10. I'm trying to get about 8 systems prepared & stable for family members and need options for several different approaches to cater to specific needs of each. So yeah, I've got a bunch of experimentation to go through and I can't lose some specific configurations. Help, suggestions, and pointers to resources (not in the /fwt/ OP) very much appreciated. I'm not stupid, but I've been (personally) on Win7 up until now and have a bit of a learning curve to climb through.

the windows photos app doesnt seem that bad now
it actually seems a lot faster than it used to be and seems that can also play videos
>>
>>106520301
Alright. Thanks. I didn't like Macrium a few years back, so I was hoping for something else to check out. Guess I'll give it a try again. Gonna take a look at whatever Partition Wizard is these days, too, when I get a couple hours free to play around. Never tried Reflect, and had a couple bad experiences with Clonezilla.

Partly I was fishing for people who've used these and can recommend or not. Or something not on the list to look at.

Is there an easy way to install the Xbox app and dependencies on w11 iot ltsc?
I have a game pass sub and I want to use it
>>
>>106520734
https://sysconf16.github.io/information/technology/lists/installing-the-microsoft-store-xbox-app-on-ltsc.html
Personally I'd install winget with the winget-install script by asheroto then install the Xbox UWP that way. Remember to select "only in ms apps" when you log into the MS account with the game pass on it so you don't have the system try to automatically sign you into a non-local account.

Is there any screenshot tool better than Lightshot? The default Windows snipping tool is ass (takes like half a second to actually take a screenshot).

And while on the topic of slow ass behaviour, why is scrolling in the path bar so fucking slow and is there anything I can do to make it faster or do I have to cope with Microsoft being run by Indians now?
>>
>>106520962
The most well-known tools of the screenshotting trade outside Snipping Tool are ShareX, Flameshot and Greenshot.

>>106520991

I'm afraid of bios updates bros
>>
>>106521036
You shouldn't be scared. BIOS updates are pretty easy to install these days what with how the BIOS themselves have easy installers within.
Just make sure you have solid power at all times while the update is happening.

>>
>>106521138
Why aren't you using an admin local account?
>>
>>106521138
If you're launching from the Run dialog, make sure you invoke Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter, this way you'll explicitly launch the program with elevated permissions - the UAC consent dialog will kick in, requiring you to authenticate via an administrator-level account
Similarly when you type in the GUI shell search - right click on the entry and press "Run as administrator" from the context menu

Is there any use case for actually installing AMD's Adrenaline Suite? I don't really care to look at any overlay benchmark shit, and I feel like the default settings are most tested by game developers and the most intended way of using the GPU by the AMD niggs. I feel like it's just bloat, I already got rid of Logitech Hub and just replaced it for OpenRGB that never runs in the background since I just switch to 800 dpi manually with the button and only care about LED's being off. I fucking hate how every single piece of hardware has a dedicated app.
>>
>>106521443
Pretty much any kind of GUI suite for driver related stuff is pure bloat. IMO you should just use RadeonSoftwareSlimmer on a driver installer from the AMD website and pick out all the bloat like the telemetry and such.
>>
>>106521036
despite what other anons say, you should be. I had a work desktop (Dell) become unusable by one.

I have a Dell S2721DGF monitor. It's a wide gamut monitor that has no sRGB mode. The AMD software actually helps me fix it.
>>
>>106521036
I've been updating my GIGABYTE motherboard with every single UEFI security update as soon as it releases and never had any issues. Nowadays I think it's a pretty mature way of updating with the UEFI rolling back if it notices any issues. The only problem would be a power cut I imagine, which does make me a bit anxious but it is what it is.
>>
>>106521477
does that look better to you?
if i use those settings it looks too saturated on my laptop
>>
>>106521830
I have other monitors I can cross-reference with and yes it makes the colours accurate instead of oversaturated as they would otherwise be.

>if i use those settings it looks too saturated on my laptop
Odd, it's supposed to be toned down in saturation, not the other way around. Is Color Temperature Control DISABLED? Is your screen wide gamut? It's also useful to do this test.
