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

yea, okay. I put call in the wrong line I guess. Thank you.

Looking around it seems you can also use conda's "run" command as well

conda run -n ace_step acestep --port 7888

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.

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.

>regular account isn't admin
>can't run diskmgmt.msc

>>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.

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.

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.

Should I install windows terminal? It seems to be a bit bloated

>>106522059
It's basically a UWP console that lets you run tabbed instances of Powershell or Command Prompt (plus some others)
Personally I just use base cmd or PS cause they're lighter.

>>106522059
Eh, for a terminal emulator it should work, i guess
Though I prefer ConEmu instead, the cmder suite bundles it with their own personalizations (though I've heard they're planning to change the terminal base for future releases, reckon they were considering windows terminal among other consoles)

>>106522243
cmder seems to just take ConEmu and make it look more modern/clean (and include a git for Windows install as well)

>>106523600
Yeah, hence this excerpt
>the cmder suite bundles it with their own personalizations
They also bundle Clink integration for CMD, which is also nice, along with their in-house script helpers, providing support for e.g. persistent alias support
>which in CMD context uses doskey macrofiles, afair

Just as a freetard will never admit his Linux install shit itself and he had to "distrohop" for fear of being piled on by his leet "friends" for being a retard, Scamshills now have an out in blaming Windows for the immense failure rates that SSDs have always had (and always will) - now they don't have to admit their SSDs shit themselves, and being piled on by other SSD shills ("hurrdurr u bought chinkshit", "hurrdurr u didnt put a heatsink on it", "hurrdurr u defragged it", "hurrdurr ur psu blew it up", "hurrdurr ur holding it wrong", "hurrdurr", "hurrdurr", etc. etc. etc.)

According to MS docs, it could mean that the KMS just failed, the time of your PC is off, or the some network settings are preventing the KMS to be reached

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/licensing-and-activation/error-0xc004f074-activate-windows

Maybe restarting it or re-entering your key might fix it? To be fair, Windows activation systems are kinda shitty these days

>>106525447
What he actually did was do a one-shot KMS activation, because the instructions specifically state that permanently activating by KMS has to install the KMS_VL_ALL fake server, and this frightens the Dunning-Krugers. Suffice it to say, one-shot KMS activation is only good for six months, and then you become unactivated again.

This was a VERY common problem on this board until HWIDGen A) became common, and B) started working on the LTS versions, because people are stupid.

Krita and GIMP don't have much overlap in their userbases, as far as I know. Both are excellent. Krita's workflow is a little closer to Photoshop.
Also, fuck you, GIMP rocks.
Medibang Paint is another good one, but it has ads unless you buy the Pro version.. It is my go-to on Android, along with Snapseed. I really like Medibang Paint's warp tool, it is pretty great, but GIMP's is something else... to the point that I need more practice with it, lel, as I'm too used to Medibang Paint's. I haven't figured out how to accomplish warping like how Medibang and GIMP do it as far as Krita. That's one of the tools I use the most, so I tend not to use Krita often, and when I do, it is mostly for redrawing or modifications that don't require warping, other wise I'd use one of the other apps.. I'm more about modifying stuff, so I lean towards other apps rather than Krita, but any of these three are , for me at least, adequate for drawing and redrawing stuff. GIMP and Krita both work well with my vintage Wacom tablet when I want to draw more, but any drawing I do tends to be related to modifying stuff rather than drawing from scratch like most folks that draw do..

>>106525976
I use GIMP but not for drawing. It's not meant fro drawing. It's literally the first sentence in this documentation. I use it for editing photos, not actual drawing.
https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-using-rectangular.html

I hate ads so no thanks. I might just try Krita or find a crack for PaintTool Sai.

>>106525023
i know, i have even switched between M2 ports and the thing is 100% dead.

>>106526037
I think that's just GIMP's devs trying to cover their own asses.
GIMP is adaptable to pen pressure and stroke hardness, size, rate, etc. as Krita and other drawing software. It has rulers and guides and other stuff that are very helpful for drawing. GIMP's devs probably got told off at some point or something. I don't see how GIMP is supposed to be bad, or there are tools it is missing towards that that I'm not aware of and the devs are just covering their asses to avoid too much negative feedback?

There is minor advantage that Krita has over GIMP in this, in my opinion: second-click opens up the brush menu and most of its options while second-click in GIMP just opens up a general menu with more options, but not geared towards brush settings. I think that is a poor design choice on the part of GIMP's devs, but not any kind of deal-breaker for me, I consider it pretty minor.

I'm about to bite the bullet and let my win 10 "upgrade" to win 11. It's just another chore I can get rid of from my to-do list. Anything I should know or prepare beforehand?

Also my laptop has 8 GB ram and an AMD ryzen 3 3200U cpu. Will upgrading my ram to 16 GB really make my computer much faster, or am I bottlenecked by my CPU so much that it's not even worth the effort of a ram upgrade?

yooooooo vector layers in gimp! iv been waiting for this!

>>106526269
Huh? You'll be fine. Even the most overloaded, overbloated W11 install won't use 3GB on startup. All those Task Manager screenshots where you see 4-8GB startup RAM? They've shoved a Hyper-V VM in the background.
3200U is also plenty, well within requirements. Remember, it's the (lack of) processor features that is the issue - no matter how much you overclock a 2500K, it's not going to make up for the lack of SLAT, MBEC/GMET, hardware sidechannel leak mitigations, etc.

>>106526269
If your machine can accomodate Win11's Core Isolation security feature, that will cause Win11 alone to require 8GB RAM just for itself (though with some flexibility there for your convenience, however much that ends up being), best to to go 16GB. It's not an absolutely necessary feature, though, so you will be fine with just 8GB and Core Isolation disabled.

I'm having a (not so) small issue with my Windows installation. Whenever I boot up my PC, I get a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED BSOD after which the computer reboots on its own and gets back into the system. The cycle repeats on the next reboot. Going into the BIOS after the BSOD triggers it again once I come out.

I'm pretty sure this happened after I uninstalled Docker Desktop and Hyper-V. I tried re-enabling Hyper-V just in case, to no avail. I've also noticed that occasionally I will have an issue where I get a completely black screen from the BIOS all the way to the login screen and to fix this I need to remove a RAM stick and reinsert it. I don't think it's a RAM issue, however, as I can load into Hiren's BootCD just fine.

I have tried DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and sfc /scannow, as well as updating my OS but the issue persisted. Has anyone else here had any similar experiences and might be able to help, or is my only option reinstalling Windows?

>>106527888
I still lean toward it being a RAM issue, if wiggling the RAM fixes it. Otherwise, the motherboard itself could be faulty - this has "genuine hardware failure" written all over it.

>>106527909
I mean, wiggling the RAM only fixes the occasional black screen issue and that's probably because the BIOS detects the change in configuration and prompts me to either reset everything, or enter the BIOS setup. The BSOD doesn't budge and follows the exact same pattern every single time, even if removing a RAM stick entirely (either one). What sucks is that I can't get a good idea of what drivers are launching on startup either, since boot logging only works when the OS boots successfully for some reason...

It can't only be RAM, even if that's a factor, it's way too consistent with its pattern, unless I'm missing something as to how Windows works at a core level.

>>106527940
You just said you're getting blank screens from moment of startup to logon. That's obviously hardware, man - your system isn't even starting your GPU all the time.

>wiggling the RAM

>>106528187

>>106527888
Honestly sounds like a hardware issue. I would do this:
Boot to bios and restore default settings. I don't know if you fucked with RAM OC or not but just do it.
Make a boot device with MemTest86 on it and test. If it's bad then replace the RAM.
If you didn't get a problem boot in to Windows safe mode. Download TestMem5, run the test anta777 extreme. That will push your RAM to the extreme. If it's all good then it's not a RAM issue.

Then look into it being a CPU issue. Is it an Intel CPU? Those had problems for shorting out. I forgot how people tested if they got a bad Intel CPU but you could probably google it. If it's AMD then look at the next component. Your motherboard.

I would say at this point I would do a fresh install of Windows than replace my motherboard. If a fresh install fixes it then it was probably a shitty Windows install (I doubt it since you did all that to check). My bet is a hardware issue.

Good luck.
