Re: UnBelievable Video

The quality of the footage from before RedBulls assistance and after is amazing. Prior to Redbulls improvements, it looked like entry level game graphics, afterwards, it was so much closer to real world footage, but at those speeds, it was phenominal that they could even get that quality level at th...

Re: Is installing another RAM from a different brand problematic?

Perhaps a typo? "The 4 stands for rows" Yep, absolutely a typo and you caught it, thank you for that and I'll leave it as is seeings as you've provided the error correction for me ;) TBH, I am absolutely terrible on the keyboard and my error correction levels are off the charts. I often h...

Re: My system still freezing and logging out randomly [Solved]

The brand is Sapphire, been around for many years and the model is usually taken from the AMD GPU, hence RX 5600-OEM or 5700/XT. I think there's enough information around about them having issues to warrant a Graphics card replacement. When talking to Windows Users, I advise them to find a card that...

Re: Jumping mouse help [Solved]

No offence, but at $8.00 US, that's not much of a mouse: https://www.amazon.ca/Genius-DX-110-Windows-Education-Enterprise/dp/B0173I9TCG You really need to see if the problem repeats with another mouse in place, first. This is an unintended FEATURE of the cabled Genius mouse and its connected to the...

Re: Can a m.2 nvme ssd be used with this 10 year old pc?

Just be aware that having upgraded all you can, a SATA SSD or a PCIe M2 SSD will only remove the constrictions of a spinning platter drive. In most any older machine, switching to a solid state drive will make a difference but you still have the limitations of the E1-series processor, an ultra low p...

Re: k3b can copy, but cannot rip encrypted Video DVD w/o transcode

Oh sorry missed that. Handbrake, install using MXPI has been my goto for many years now. It's a tiny download, it's simple, has some great preloaded presets as well as fine tuned manual adjustments to set the output quality from very small file size for tiny displays thru to massive, and it just wor...

Re: k3b can copy, but cannot rip encrypted Video DVD w/o transcode

Just use Asunder. When I used KDE for a time, I sought to use every possible feature it had to offer to see how it fared overall. Ripping Music CDs was one of them and I don't even remember the exact thing about the finished content, but it was simply not up to par, kind of reminiscent of how Apple ...

Re: Dual monitor setup oddities

My guess is the 2nd monitor is on a preferred display signal lane. I used to get that when I have dual monitors setup on my ManCave machine with a temporary video card installed while I waited for my replacement. The monitor connected to the DVI port always woke first when thawing the machine and wh...

Re: How to keep several OS in one USB, copied partitions. [Solved]

OK I guess your reference to Ventoy is what led me down that path. This brings to mind block level "backups" like the following two apps which only copy used blocks, a more efficient way of cloning that can extend your capacity to hold backups of cloned partitions because the overall size ...

Re: How to keep several OS in one USB, copied partitions. [Solved]

When you understand the mechanics of how a UNIX type OS is started and you're thinking of making them operable from the USB, I think the answer would be no different to how one would setup a Multiboot system where GRUB picks each new each one with an update-grub from the only installed OS, but I thi...
