Revo Uninstaller, It's a paid software but man if it isn't the best to get shit out of your PC, It's the IDM or uninstallers

What do anons use to take photos of their PC, just the ingame screenshot or some third party one?

I heard those are not safe cause they're uploaded somewhere else, but I Imagine it must be convenient

Also does anybody use those game launchers that bunch up game launchers? how do they even work that cross platofrm stuff

Idk if I was paranoid about my shitty ass screenshots getting uploaded my pc would be wrapped in foil already

I use ShareX, it's open source, and ScreenToGif (also open source) for gifs/webms/etc. I think ShareX can take video as well but I prefer ScreenToGif a little more in that regard since it has an editor. Both great programs though.

i did not know sharex as open source, nice
screentogif sounds awesome

there's no short video capture thingy for PCs really,

i was trying out lightscreen,

are there any open source FPs monitor programs, the whole riva tuner thing doesn't work without MSI's afterburner stuff

youtube-dl / yt-dlp + mpv (+ tor) = (anonymous) online media consumption from the terminal, faster and more stable transfers than from a web player

bash/python/c/… = they're some kind of "languages" that let you create your own programs somehow

>>17014
Nah, it's a brilliant idea if you find the correct (and secure) use case. Turn your phone into a remote for media playback for instance.

Hexchat's download page for windows is hilarious, they have a buy hexchat for $5 button on top and then download the free installer right below it.

I just found out that neither mpv or mpc support browsing a blu-ray for extras

there is no king
all are fake

i downloaded this BDVM for nothing! I WANTED TO SEE THE EXTRAS

>proprietary format doesn't work with a FOSS player
you could always rip the raw video files of the extras and convert them into an open format

Anonymous 28-09-22 04:47:11 No.17032

>>17031
Proprietary software needs to be outlawed after the revolution

We will build a state funded CD format

I just gave up, I wanted L&T extras but the one I downloaded didn't have it

Time to join a private tracker
Also fuck all these HDR formats, I messed with VLC, MadVR, MPC-HC, MPV settings until I realized I needed a Dolby HDR Monitor

>>17027
I use the yt-dl fork now, It downloads faster than the og one for some reason, ytp-dl

https://babelsoft.net/products/mediapreview.htm

I found the official site for media preview, i don't know who babelsoft is but i've heard about them before

They make good stuff, Install K-Lite Codec if you want just .webms to have previews

But I like it when my TV show files all don't have the same thumbnail as well

Just found out about that, what a bullshit policy. You could try downloading stuff that's already under youtube premium like movies. If it works 4K ones propably will as well.

Krita is more featureful
MS Paint's beauty is in its simplicity and intuitiveness
