General Software Discussion / Fake equivalent for Windows
« Last post by kalos on June 12, 2016, 06:22 PM »
Hello!

I am amazed by the simplicity of Fake

I am eagerly looking for an equivalent for Windows, that will help you build an automation script using blocks (or some other easy interface).

Is there any?

Thanks!

Living Room / Re: robust microusb cable
« Last post by kalos on June 11, 2016, 07:05 PM »
Yes I am talking about the male connector of the cable, not the female connector of the phone. The latter is quite robust (Samsung Galaxy Note 2).

I don't do anything wrong, just the phone may drop from the low bedside table

Which cable brands? You mean Anker? I bought two cables of them, let's see

I don't understand what you're saying
-kalos (June 11, 2016, 03:17 PM)

Just ignore me. My response was the least helpful. The other folks who responded have offered suggestions which may help you out. Research their suggestions.
-Deozaan (June 11, 2016, 03:23 PM)

Indeed my problem is with the connector. I wonder if you said that the above suggestions won't work in that case.

The problem with USB cables, in my experience, has very little to do with the cable itself, and everything to do with the connector. If the micro USB connector gets bent out of shape even slightly, you can pretty much kiss the cable goodbye.

So all this bullet proof kevlar stuff probably isn't going to help with the problem of the Micro USB cable just being terribly designed and too fragile.
-Deozaan (June 11, 2016, 01:31 PM)

I don't understand what you're saying

What is bullet proof kevlar? And what won't going to help?

« Last post by kalos on June 11, 2016, 09:24 AM »
hello!

is there any microUSB cable that the plug will not bend? I bought numerous cables and they all bent at the point of the plug with the lightest of force! (normally if the phone falls and it is plugged).

it would be highly appreciated

thanks!

I never changed anything.
I checked at both Skype and Windows settings and I set the microphone to maximum.
It still doesn't work.

Living Room / problem with skype
« Last post by kalos on June 10, 2016, 01:56 PM »
hello!

I have a problem with skype. A particular person I talk with suddenly hears me very low. I checked their speakers and they work brilliantly! He can hear any youtube video without any problem. Yet when we connect via skype, he can barely hear me, even if he has his speakers at maximum.

Any idea?

thanks!

PS: Microsoft destroys anything they touch, and skype was a marvelous app, until MS got their hands on them.

Living Room / Re: Re: Autobackup with OneDrive
« Last post by kalos on June 06, 2016, 05:01 PM »
It sounds like what you want is more in line with Mozy. It is a cloud-based backup software that automatically copies files up to the cloud. It automatically syncs certain file types but you can configure it to do any kind of custom backup. You don't configure it through Windows Explorer though, you need to use the Mozy client.

But it will not do synchronization across machines. Is that also what you are looking for?

If so, I cannot recommend InSync highly enough! It syncs with Google Drive and is highly configurable.
Also very inexpensive and well worth the money!

https://www.insynchq.com/
-Jimdoria (June 05, 2016, 10:22 PM)

that InSync seems to be the best option, but isn't there any opensource freeware?
it's not that the money is much but I would prefer a more mainstream developer

I find very useful the Skwire's Text to Folders program

but is it possible to be expanded?

I would like to create any type of file (doc, xls, xlsx, htm, txt, etc)

thanks!

I really can't believe there is no way to sync my files automatically

last time Bitcasa did it, but that company is a huge failure

isn't there any more trusted solution???

I just use hard links for "cloud backups". One version of each file is enough for me.

what do you mean by hard links?

I just read "Fetching files on a PC running Windows 8.1 isn't supported!"
Is this the reason I cannot make it work??
This is very disappointing! How can they not support 8.1? It is supposed to backup files from various devices, thus various OS!

hello!

I have problem making OneDrive work as auto-backup, can you tell me please how to do it?

I want to right click on files and folders and make them to be backedup regularly in the cloud

how can I do that?

will it save older versions automatically?
will it detect when the files/folders are changed and back them up?

thanks!

PS: I tried GoogleDrive and it failed to sync some files so I dumped it

I installed Google Drive as I want to backup online some of my folders in case my laptop gets stolen/lost

Can you tell me please how to do that?

I right click on the folder I want to back up and all the submenus are grayed out!

thanks!

« Last post by kalos on May 06, 2016, 01:51 PM »
hello!

is there a simple light snipping tool for Win8.1 with image editor similar to Paint or better embedded?

I know Mouse's snaption tool, but I find it too complicated for simple uses

thanks!

thanks but can you provide me a specific recommendation? I don't want ads, bloatware, spyware, stupid apps etc.
I installed Viber and it wants me to also install it on a phone which is ridiculous!
Is there a SIMPLE plug in and play software to videochat?

Living Room / remember last pdf session
« Last post by kalos on April 13, 2016, 10:58 AM »
hello!

is there a pdf reader (preferably editor also) that will remember the files opened and when I restart it (or laptop crashes) it will reopen the files opened?

my text editor does that, my browser does that, but I need a pdf reader/editor!

thanks!

Living Room / research on the go
« Last post by kalos on March 27, 2016, 05:12 AM »
hello!

I will give you a description of what I want and can you please tell me please what hardware/software I could use to achieve that?

I want to work in cafés, so a sunlight resistive screen is a must, plus a good battery life

I want to read pdf and doc files and highlight terms and search for them quickly in specialized dictionaries, like legal dictionary, ideally without leaving the pdf document

I also want to browse the web with full functionality.

Can you tell me please what to buy to be able to do that kind of research?

thanks!
