Does anyone know how I can edit gifs? I have a gif here that is too quick and is high quality so I'd like to lower the quality a little and slow the gif down.

I assume you mean animated GIF? Try this

Don't need support, but just got a blackweb centaur gaming keyboard. Thoughts? I've had it a day or two, and I gotta say that it is one sexy motherfvcker. First higher-end keyboard I've ever had, it was a gift.

Looks nearly as sexy as you.

I had to get a smaller (shorter) keyboard, as I type while lying on the bed, and the keyboard I had was too long, kept unbalancing on my lap. Now that I have the shorter one, the keys are necessarily grouped differently, and the last key on the right at the top, which used to be backspace, is home, which has resulted in a LOT of cursing and teeth-grinding as I hit the wrong key, don't realise it and end up with my text, which should be after the last words I typed, now in front of it! Grrrrr!

You crack me the **** up. I don't believe in god but... god love ya, dude.

I'm an enigma wrapped in a (it ****ing happened again!!! GAHHH!!!!!) riddle, wrapped in an unfashionable jumper, mom jeans and badly-fitting glasses, with little hair to speak of and no social graces. Don't you all wish you were me?

Can anyone clue me in as to why suddenly YT videos will not play here? I'm using the Torch browser. I would have thought it was because Flash was not installed but the animation at the top of the page fails to load when this is the case, and it's loading fine. I can see the videos (the titles and that, they're not white squares or icons or anything) but when I push play nothing happens.

Cheers will give this a go.

That's a beauty. I've got a logitech with blue LED lights.

Not that anyone replied, but I think removing the Trojan from my system sorted this, and a whole lot of other issues out. So thanks but it seems to be ok now.

Websites that don't let you leave. What's that about? Somehow they disable the 'back' button. Tricky bastards.

Yeah, you get caught in a loop. Some of them you can escape from by hitting the back button repeatedly, but more often than not, you have to shut down the page. ****ers. It's pretty stupid, as you'll never go there again. Then again, they've probably harvested your credit card details at that point so they don't care...

anybody know why I cannot install ubuntu off my usb drive in windows 10? I go to the boot menu, select the usb which has ubuntu installer on it (using the pendrive linux app) and simply fails to load.

Any thoughts?

First off, why in the fuck would you ask that question in a music forum?

This baffles me.

in the computer support section?

I asked this on the ubuntu forums as well, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here also, someone may know.

Drunk again, Plank? ;)

When Microsoft introduced UEFI to replace the BIOS this made booting into Linux more difficult. With Windows 10 they made this even more difficult by removing the option to disable the UEFI in the boot menu. I've followed instruction guides on how to install Linux alongside Windows 10 but had no luck with any of them.

The alternative is to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine in Windows. Oracle VirtualBox is the most popular free virtual box for Windows and it's relatively easy to install and run a Linux distro with it. You can also allocate as much or as little RAM as you want.

Purpose of this thread = defeated :)

I kind of thought it would be something deliberate by Micro$oft in their efforts to discourage the competition, but I know sod-all about Linux so didn't want to advance that theory.

Also, bolded: blame it on the booze. :)

They claim that the purpose of it is to prevent malicious software from starting at boot time from devices such as USB sticks, and not a way of driving Linux into the ground. But I don't entirely trust Microsoft on that one :)

Nope.

Was prisoner banned for asking computer tech questions in the Computer Tech Support Thread?

Banned for being a sockpuppet

Banned for trying to install Ubuntu instead of Linux Mint.

Whose?

Ask Plank

Why is this 💖 a 2D heart black image with clear stars on my desktop computer, but it's a 3D-ish shiny red heart image on my LG tablet?

I use the same for an example, if I post the 💖 in the shoutbox I get ��. So are there certain text and/or images the boards support but not the shoutbox? or rather what can/can't the shoutbox support?

... and that brings me to a related question: How do people post videos in the shouty?

same way you do on the forums... I just tried it out with:
(minus the period inside the first bracket)

So I recently made the switch to Firefox and now whenever I do things like bold, insert image, etc I can't see any html code that goes with it..

I can no longer say F*uck via changing the color of one letter. Also the pictures just show up in the message box which I don't like. Is there a way to make it so I see all the [img][/img] type coding?

I have Firefox, but don't have that problem. I really don't know what to say. Did you check User PC > Edit Options > Message Editor Interface

Where is "user pc"? You mean right-clicking "My Computer"?

I'm on Win 7 btw.

Ooo the forum settings.. I figured it out..

Testing...

Fuck

FIXED.. It was set to enhanced editor which apparently hides all the coding. Thanks Nea. I guess that is the default for Firefox because I never messed with those settings.

Wow I helped solve a problem, I'm now officially part of the MB's geek squad. :)

Alright, so I've got a wireless mouse that's ****ing with my internet connection. I've read that since wireless mice, or at least many of them, run on 2.4ghz frequency, which is the same frequency as many WiFi routers, they can slow down and even kill your internet connection, but I've never seen any truly reliable solutions other than to get a wired mouse.

Reboot your router.

I don't think that's a long-term solution. Like, this has been going on for months. It'll cut my connection, but then I'll just reconnect it in two seconds and it'll be fine, until it ****s up again. And if I take the USB connector out the problem just goes away instantly. I wouldn't even use the damn thing if I hadn't started playing computer games which require a mouse.

Can you hardwire your router, like with an ethernet cable?

Man, I've taken one legitimate IT class. I don't know this ****, yet.

Either change the channel on your router or get a USB mouse. I prefer a USB mouse myself.

Isn't a wireless mouse USB by default? My mouse connects with a USB connector at least. Which is the problem. I've seen others talk about the same problem with wireless mouses, whether USB or Bluetooth, and also wireless keyboards. I've also seen some people who claim that changing router channels works, and some who say it doesn't, so I don't know if that'll even work. I think a less headache-inducing solution would be to just get a wired mouse.

As my class taught me, first rule of fixing computer ****: go with the least intrusive method first.
