Sorting Out Files On My PC Last Night

Pictured is me deleting a large amount of files from a history folder for MB3D, while moving thousands of times to a folder after sorting them into 12 different sub-folders, and hacking the Gibson in the background (do you get the reference)?

I sorted my desktops folder in my graphics folder in documents. I've made 3231 of them over the years and it took me over an hour to sort them into 12 groups so they can be looked up by category and not just in a large bunch. The folders where on desktop and then I tossed them back into the desktop folder in documents.

Then I went to MB3D and dumped all the history files for months back as I literally never use them, instead I save all my parameters by year in folders and keep only the finished products.

In the background, I am using diskpart (it's part of windows utilities) to format a boot jump drive that I want to use for other things. You see, when you make a boot jump drive for windows, it makes a hidden portion that you can't recover the space of unless you go very out of your way. Even if you format it, the other 32GB is still hidden and used on the 64GB stick. No matter the size, it splits in in half like this. It's a pain in the ass, and if you ever want to reuse the jump drive, NEVER make a windows install on it.

If you want to clean install on a freshly wiped HD, you need to do this nonsense as well. Otherwise, it cleans only the visible portion and leaves the data intact in the hidden ones, so it's not a clean install. Before windows 8 you could just format it, and it would be 100% gone, not anymore. I'd also like to know why there is like a 580mb portion and a 56mb partition in the mix on C drive. Kind of wonder why it needs to be separate like that.

Then I made the mistake of shutting down, then using my phone to remove 32GB of music from the cloud. Well it's also stored on my HD, and when I booted this morning it went on for an hour deleting all the files. If I just deleted them from the PC it would have been 15 minutes tops, but NOPE - as soon as you let OneDrive do file management, it expands to 4X the time to do it.

BTW the movie hackers (1995) - the super computer they mass hacked was "The Gibson". For decades later the idea of white hat hacking was referred to as we are going to hack the Gibson.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
