Sorry for the late reply, but it looks like somehow Notepad++ got set as the default program to open .bat files. Right click the .bat file, choose "open with", and you should get an option to open it with command line / cmd.

EDIT: or just change it to .cmd, which should work basically the same way.

You can try installing Handbrake, it's basically a user interface to make using FFmpeg easier. As far as removing all the metadata with a click, I'm not aware of anything that does that.

Honestly though, I think this is a simple enough case that you could figure it out even if you're non-techy. The basic steps would be:

• make a folder somewhere to keep everything in one place
• download FFmpeg from here (this is one of the official Windows builds)
• extract the 7z file you downloaded, there's a folder inside called "bin" and inside of that should be three .exe files, one of which is just named "ffmpeg.exe". Put that .exe into the folder you made earlier
• open Notepad, copy/paste the command from my first comment into Notepad, and save it as something like "remove_metadata.bat" to your folder from earlier. In the window where you choose where to save the file, make sure you choose the file type "all files" from the drop down in order to save it as a .bat.

After setting it up, you can just put any .mp4 into the same folder, rename it INPUT.mp4, and run your .bat file by double-clicking it. It should create a new file called OUTPUT.mp4 in the same folder with all of the metadata removed.

Use FFmpeg. You can copy only the audio and video channels (and subtitles) without anything else using a command like:

ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s copy OUTPUT.mp4

That's what I thought too, but this system doesn't actually use salt water. It uses a membrane that's filled with lithium bromide (a "salt" in the chemical sense of the word), which absorbs moisture from the air while the computer is off and then is able to slowly "sweat" the moisture away while the computer is running. They say it can run for about 6.5 hours before needing to be recharged.

This is pretty cool for data centers which use massive amounts of power to keep everything cool, because it's passive and doesn't use any extra energy for fans or water pumps or anything. It really isn't all that great for consumer PCs though, because it's a lot easier to deal with waste heat.

I'd love to know this too. Backup options on Android (without root) are incredibly lacking, it's one of the few areas where Apple is leagues ahead and always has been.

Weirdly, taking caffeine pills makes me super sleepy. I have ADHD so stimulants affect me differently from most people, but coffee doesn't make me drowsy at all. The only thing I can think of is that with a pill, the full dose is absorbed all at once, while with a drink, it's spread out over the time it takes to drink it.

Try searching your YouTube watch history for those videos and removing them. That seems to actually make the algorithm pretend you never saw them, and so it doesn't consider them in future recommendations (at least, in my experience).

Did you find the service manual when you opened it up? It's different from the user manual, the service manual is often taped to the back or inside of appliances so that "only" technicians can find them. It might contain specific part numbers or values that would make finding a replacement heating element easier.

Yes, they allow certain "non-obtrusive" ads by default. Some people might be fine with this, but it should absolutely be opt-in, and their deal with an ad company is the only reason it's the default.

That's pretty insane, because that's barely 1/3 of what the USA spends on its military alone every year. I think we can do better than 2%, these people won't even notice.

(To be clear though, anything would be better than nothing. The chances of even a measley 2% tax getting passed is slim to none, and those chances get smaller the higher the tax is, so anything we can get is a win.)

Because the person you replied to is acting purposely obtuse? It's clear that the OP was asking what is done with any non-organic materials that may be inside a person when they die. Are they removed? Are they left to be buried in the ground? What about cremation, do they burn the body with any of that inside? That's pretty obvious to anyone with above a 5th grade reading comprehension, so a snarky reply is unwarranted and obnoxious.

Yup, this is the real reason. When you're a kid/teenager, you don't realize just how much free time you have to spend on stuff like video games. Then you become an adult and have way more responsibilities, and suddenly video games just aren't as appealing as a time sink as they used to be.

In that case, I don't think the problem is with Arch. The battery is likely shot, as going from partly charged -> dead that quickly is a very common symptom of one that's reached the end of its life.

The Bitcoin thing was a joke about how it uses so much CPU/GPU, it almost feels as if he's mining crypto for Daddy Gaben.

His actual complaint is that the shaders seem to get recompiled on every game launch, which takes forever, instead of just re-using the ones it compiled previously.

When you say you need to connect the charger to get it to boot up again, do you mean boot to Linux or even to just show the BIOS? If the former, it might be that the battery level isn't being read correctly by the OS, but if it's the latter, the battery or its related circuitry is likely failing and you'll need a replacement battery.

How do you think they can provide their service free of charge? It's because you are the product, and they likely track your own spending habits. However, I still use them occasionally if I ever want to sign up for a free trial or something similar, because you can put an all-time limit on each card. If my bank offered that feature though, I would just use it instead because my bank (a local credit union) would never track my data.

Personally I would definitely recommend starting with a live USB. It's rare, but I've had a few times where setting up dual-boot broke the bootloader somehow and getting it back was a massive pain in the ass.

Can second this, it's especially helpful for dealing with a bunch of unit conversions. I also used Symbolab a lot for Diff. Eq,. and since it was only a 5 week class it was worth paying for their premium so it shows you all the steps.

Holy crap! I never would have known it started out in that bad condition. You could barely tell it was a house! Amazing work.

I'm curious though, this seems very bit for what I imagine when I hear "mobile home". Just how big is the house and how exactly would you go about moving it?

I see an outlet above the left of the door. Have you tested to see if the switch controls that outlet? Maybe something plugged in there long ago
