RELATED: Spread the Word: Ninite is the Only Safe Place to Get Windows Freeware The good news is that, if you’re careful about where you get your codecs (and future updates to them), they’re a perfectly viable option. Codecs are notorious for bundling in crapware or, worse, malware. It sounds great, but there’s a reason we list downloading codecs as an alternative to using a video player with built-in support. RELATED: Beware: Never Download "Codecs" or "Players" To Watch Videos Online These codecs help your video player understand how to decompress files that it doesn’t natively support. In order to add that support, you’ll need to install some support files known as codecs (the name is shorthand for compression/decompression). If you would prefer to use Windows Media Player or another Windows player that doesn’t already support MKV files, you can. Matroska developers included several key features to make this happen, including things like:Īlternative Option: Download Codecs for Compatibility (But Do It Carefully) MKV container files were designed to be future proof, meaning that the files would not become outdated. For example, you could have a MKV file that contains H.264 video and something like MP3 or AAC for audio. An MKV container can incorporate audio, video, and subtitles into a single file-even if those elements use different types of encoding. MKV files are actually multimedia container formats. What Are MKV Files?Ĭontrary to popular belief, MKV files are not an audio or video compression format. As time went on, the format was improved and in 2010, it became the basis for the WebM multimedia format. The company also has a lot of resources on their website, including a list of playback options. The Matroska project was developed as an open standards project, which means that it is open source and completely free for anyone who wants it for personal use. RELATED: What Is Open Source Software, and Why Does It Matter? It got its name from the Russian word for Nesting Dolls, matryoshka. The lead developer, Lasse Kärkkäinen, worked with the founder of Matroska, Steve Lhomme, and a team of programmers to create this comprehensive multimedia container file format. MKV files, also known as Matroska Video files originated in Russia in 2002. From Humble Beginningsīefore we talk about what MKV files are, let’s look at a little history. Let’s talk about what they are and how you can use them on your computer. Whether you are downloading videos from the Internet or getting them from other people, there is a high chance that you will come across MKV files. ![]()

The Asus VivoBook S15 for the same price only offers a larger 15.6-inch OLED display but misses out on a discrete GPU – not a package for everyone. The webcam could have been better and the speakers louder.īut then you look at the competition and the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G ends up being a solid laptop in comparison. Battery life is an issue on the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G and you need to tow that charger in the backpack. 74,999 is great for casual gamers and budding creative users. 69,999 should be a good pick for most users, while the NVIDIA MX550 GPU equipped version at Rs. It is built nicely, has a good display that only enhances its appeal with the 120Hz refresh rate, solid and flawless performance, as well as a good choice of I/O ports. 80,000, the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G ends up being a solid midrange Windows laptop to consider, if your primary usage is work-related. I wish the volume could have gone louder.įor less than Rs. Another thing that helped with the experience is speaker setup – it is a standard stereo speaker setup but the audio is tuned nicely ample low-end grunt and strong mids, decent highs for a laptop of this class. ![]() Note that this isn't a gaming laptop and hence, gamers should keep their expectations under check.ĭespite the gaming though, the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G managed to keep the temperatures under control through a 1-hour session. Forza Horizon 5 defaulted to Low-Medium settings to maintain 45-60 fps settings, which is fairly impressive. I was able to F1 22 on low graphics at 720p resolution and managed to touch 50-60 fps, while 1080p settings dropped it to 30-40 fps. I did some casual gaming on the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G and the results were as per expectations. The NVIDIA MX550 GPU comes in handy when editing photos on Photoshop and doing light video editing. I did not see stutters or lags, or random app shutdowns during my usage. If you, like me, deal with 10-12 Google Chrome tabs, MS Word, Spotify streaming, and WhatsApp running simultaneously all day, the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G will keep chewing through the workloads with ease. This combination of specs makes for a fairly capable daily work machine. Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G (Amritanshu / HT Tech) Being the 120G variant, you get the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 GPU along with the Intel HD Graphics.

Additionally, I also liked the presence of an ambient light sensor, thereby bringing the auto-brightness feature on this laptop. It doesn't look as good as the OLED display on Asus' similarly priced VivoBook S15 OLED but most people won't have issues with the panel. The panel itself is good with colours – content looks bright, colours are good, and viewing angles are fairly wide. Scrolling is smooth and the animations are, well, smooth. The most obvious thing to notice is the 120Hz refresh rate, which makes going around Windows 11 a smooth experience. With the Xiaomi Notebook Pro 120G, you get a 14-inch 2.5K IPS LCD display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, 100 percent SRGB colours, and dE<1.5 for colour accuracy.

There are spectrums of crime and punishment it's not binary. It leads to one thing and one thing only: violence. This is not to say those harassing and bullying (if that did happen I have not looked into the author's claims, nor do I follow the BSNES/Higan community) should not be held to account.Īs a culture, we must fight against this tide of hyperbole in every argument and every disagreement. Close, yes, perhaps, but still undeserving of the hyperbole. To make things a bit more complex, byuu was also the name of a UI for higan, written by the original author, who started using the nick Near. We've also created some screenshots of Bsnes to illustrate the user interface and show the overall usage and features of this Nintendo emulation program. In March 2020 byuu retired from the project, handing it to the community but then during the pandemic, byuu started developing it again, as a fork named ares.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) The race to buy Manchester United is taking shape. By the author's logic, it's not a stretch to call every suicide "murder." How is the person speaking for the dead qualified to make this accusation? Where does the line of personal responsibility begin? If every grievance in one's life can be blamed on others, then we will all end up executed by those who would cast judgment. That said, calling this "murder" is gross hyperbole and very selfish. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Expandrive cant play media![]() ![]() IDrive e2 now integrated with Duplicacy - Fast S3 Compatible Cloud storage Feature But if it is indeed iDrive, it might just not be suitable for your particular usecase. There are timestamps in there, so you can deduce what and when is happening. Try to run your operations with -d flag and see what you find. But it is not something that is really practical. different root folders on your iDrive) so that it splits /chunks folders. To do what you’re trying to do would require you splitting your storages as well (e.g. your source folders) into smaller groups won’t help as long as you backup all to the same storage (shared /chunks folder). It works, but is not a real solution as you will still need to list all chunks e.g. one file or folder) this will complete quickly (at least on a new storage), then you remove filtering and continue backing up as usual. So you can make an initial snapshot with a filter excluding everything except some very small subset of your files (e.g. Having said that, above is correct, as long as you have one completed backup into your snapshot, full chunk listing on backup won’t be happening. However, if iDrive takes significantly longer (order of magnitude) for listing directory, this might still be in play. So if your connection drop happens only once a day that should still be fine unless your scheduling it at the exact wrong time. This is with OneDrive backened, someone else reported similar listing times with Google Drive. This is not indexing BTW, indexing is listing all the files in your repository which should take minimal amount of time (the longest I’ve seen that taking is ~10 minutes with hundreds of thousands if not millions of files on a network drive).įor listing of chunks it is similar - one of my repositories is about 7TB+ at the moment (with default chunking), and it takes about half an hour to list all the chunks. This sounds like an issue with your storage (iDrive) rather than anything else - if it indeed fails on listing all the chunks phase. With Rclone, you can easily mount a remote storage and get at files more easily. ![]() Instead, I use Rclone for movies/TV media, and use Duplicacy for everything else. Personally, I’d avoid using Duplicacy to backup such files altogether, as it adds such a big overhead for no real gain (no compression, no de-duplication, no need for versioning). Another way to mitigate this problem ( check and copy do this scanning phase, too) by re-initialising the backup storage with bigger chunks, resulting in fewer chunks, which may be more suitable for such large files anyway. threads 16 - if you aren’t already doing so. You might be able to improve the scan by using more threads, e.g. known chunks from the previous snapshot as a starting point, then a final existence check for each chunk before an upload. Incremental backups don’t do this part, as it uses a different process i.e. This phase has to be done to avoid re-uploading. You probably already have a large number of chunks uploaded - due to previously aborted backups - and it’s taking a long time to list them. Your issue seems to be related to the ListAllFiles() phase of an initial backup. What is my best bet here? Should I split up my movie directories further to allow Duplicacy easier indexing? I’ll be moving from 37Mb/s upload to 100Mb/s shortly - that might help too but optimally, I’d have a complete backup before moving. The indexing seems to be IOPS-limited, which I cannot change. I see around 2-4MB/s of reads due to Duplicacy on the drive with 100MB of RAM used and 0% of CPU used according to unRAID. The system is equipped with an i5 11600k and 32GB of RAM. I am running Duplicacy in a Docker container under unRAID on shucked WD Elements 12TB drives with read speeds of 100-190MB/s (depending on data location on the platter). ![]() The directories in question range from 500GB to 5TB with 300 to 3500 files. The few seconds my connection drops due to this does not seem to influence uploads but when it happens during indexing, I think, the indexing fails with the error: ERROR LIST_FILES Failed to list the directory chunks/: RequestError: send request failed. I suspect it fails because of the nightly reset of my IP - a behaviour dictated by my ISP I cannot change. ![]() Yet, I am still running into issues with Duplicacy taking a long time to index each library which then results in it failing when comparing the file list to the cloud. I split my libraries to reduce the individual size. I set Duplicacy up to back up my movies to iDrive e2. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Factorio battery blueprint![]() Balancers requiring red/blue or specifically blue belt due to underground belt lengths are named "_red_blue" or "_blue" respectively.

To export a blueprint, right-click the blueprint and click the 'Export to string' button. Outside of Factorio, blueprints are saved as character strings. You can share your blueprints with other players and use their blueprints to improve your own factory. One of the most important features of Factorio’s blueprints is that they're not restricted to your game. Certain assembly setups, like electronic circuits, which you need a lot of, or inserters, which you need many of and form a key part of other assembly lines, such as science packs and other types of inserters.Power generators (such as steam engine setups and solar farms).Your drilling and smelting setups for iron, steel, and copper etc.Good areas for early blueprinting include: With any assembly lines or structure layouts that you’re going to either add to or use multiple incidents of, it’s a good idea to blueprint early so you can keep your construction consistent. Early on, though, you’ll have to do the grunt work yourself. ![]() Later in the game you can direct drones to automatically build structures designated by blueprints. Note: The blueprint provides an outline of what to build and where, it doesn’t do the actual construction for you.
