My mouse clicks twice when I click on it once, I would like to give a limit of clicks per second.

no, this is not for piracy reasons. I am genuinely asking a question on if there is malware, spyware, etc in some of the files provided by such websites.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a software tool that allows me to test myself on math problems (like algebra and linear algebra) in a structured way. Ideally, the software would let me:

1. Organize problems by sections and subsections (e.g., Rational Exponents, Integer Exponents).
2. Generate random tests divided by these sections and subsections.
3. Set custom review schedules based on my performance (e.g., problems I solved correctly are reviewed in 1 month, semi-solved problems in 1 week, and unsolved problems in 3 days)

Could you recommend a tool that meets these requirements, or any resources for creating something similar? Alternatively, would it be possible to build this with existing tools like Anki, Notion, or custom programming?

Thank you for any advice or suggestions!

i was browsing through my folders on my c drive and found a mcafee folder. I know i didn't install it and opted out when i installed windows 11. however there are two apps on my apps list anyway. when i try to uninstall them i get a message that it can't find a file called mcuihost.exe. how do Iremove these apps? would deleting that folder be of any use?

Hey everyone!

I’ve just updated ToolBox and renamed it to ToolBox Remastered. This new version builds upon the original with a few important improvements: a cleaner design, better performance, and some added features.

What’s New:

• Productivity Apps: Now you can install useful productivity tools like LibreOffice, MS Office Slim, and Adobe Acrobat Reader alongside your usual apps.
• Refined UI: A more polished, intuitive design to make navigation easier.
• Better Performance: Optimizations under the hood for a smoother experience.

ToolBox Remastered is still a work in progress, but I’m excited about these updates as I continue learning and improving the app. Let me know if you encounter any issues or have suggestions for future improvements!

Hi all. I was hoping that someone might have insight into what are common programs and services (besides Canva) that allow for students to create presentations and insert voiceovers on the presentations.

I am a staff member at a Med School and my Dean has put me in charge of helping to locate so kind of software we can use to help with student PowerPoint presentations. Honestly we are getting sick of the same boring slides with every problem based learning topic. I was hoping to introduce a way to "jazz it up" and keep the attention of students a bit more next semester. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Obviously we need something that allows for student access and can be purchased at a University user type level (many accounts). I know many schools have different software they allow students to use for free by just having a email address and student ID. I appreciate any suggestions you all may have to solve my predicament.

Basically when i press “<“ i want it to be automatically pressed twice and fast, cuz i can’t do it fast enough namsayin

Is there any program that exists that would help me digitize our shop tickets that are open. I am thinking like a calendar based app that I can throw up on a TV(android based, windows based, etc) and then remotely edit it from my desk. I was thinking a combination like stock ticker/calendar for work ticket flow.

For instance, it would have a calendar and then information of what needs to be done that day, when that is supposed to be completed and when it will be closed and machines returned to customer. Ideally I had in my head a giant calendar that I can edit the days with what is currently going on for the week/month etc. I can't seem to find anything except make shift stuff.

As the title suggests can someone either edit a read only PDF or teach me how to? Thanks.

I'm after some software that will allow me to organize a meeting for between 3-10 people and in the middle of the meeting one participant should be allowed to remote control another participants computer - where the rest is watching.

For some time we have been using GotoMeeting, but they recently FUBAR'ed their software, so it's not really usable anymore.

We also tried TeamViewer Meeting, but it is very cumbersome to setup, making the learning curve steep for new users.

Are there other good alternatives ?

Thanks in advance.

My company is currently using a 20+ year old in-house built crew scheduling software (running MapPoint 2006! ) that is third party and integrates with MSAccess – unfortunately we cannot upgrade it and have reached an issue where new plans/areas are popping up and the drive times that the software runs will not work to those new job sites.

I am curious if anyone has a suggestion on an upgrade? I am NOT looking to rebuild our entire system - just an upgrade to the 3rd party scheduling software for my field crews from jobsite to jobsite.

Anyone knows an EU-based software company that hires remote employees outside EMEA region? I live in the East Asia.

I worked for an EU-based company before, but I quit a year ago. Currently back to the regular 8-5. I miss the CET timezone and it allows me to keep a work-life balance more where I usually start work in the afternoon. Have few hours in the morning to do errands.

I'd appreciate if you drop the company names in the comment section pls. DM will also do. I'll check them out in LinkedIn. Thank you.

I purchased HitPaw Video Enhancer and Photo Enhancer, expecting a seamless experience. However, my experience has been nothing short of frustrating:

1. Uninstallation Issues: After uninstalling the software, its firewall rules remained deeply embedded in my macOS system. Attempts to remove these settings manually (via System Preferences and Terminal commands) failed. HitPaw's support was unable to provide a functional uninstaller to address the issue.
2. Unhelpful Support: The responses from HitPaw’s support team were generic and failed to resolve the problem. Despite my detailed explanation and evidence (screenshots), they repeated ineffective troubleshooting steps and even redirected me to Apple Support for an issue clearly caused by their software.
3. Refund Denial: When I requested a refund for this inconvenience, it was denied because the purchase exceeded 30 days. Offering free licenses for other products (which I no longer trust) is not an acceptable solution.
4. Lack of Accountability: Instead of taking responsibility for their software's poor design, HitPaw deflected the problem, leaving me with unresolved issues and a diminished experience on my Mac.

Outcome: I had to reinstall my Mac to resolve some of these issues—an unnecessary and drastic measure caused entirely by HitPaw’s negligence.

I strongly advise against purchasing their products until they address these problems:

• Provide a proper uninstaller for their software.
• Train their support team to handle technical issues effectively.
• Adopt a more customer-focused refund and resolution policy.

This experience has been a warning about the risks of choosing poorly supported software. I hope HitPaw takes this feedback seriously and improves their services.

Been recording voice/video journals for years to capture my thoughts, meeting notes, and personal reflections. With AI getting crazy good, wondering what tools you all use for this?

What I'm Looking For:

• Voice-to-text that actually works
• Way to store and organize voice notes
• AI analysis of my thoughts/patterns
• Auto-generate action items (todos, meetings, emails)

What I've Heard About:

• Notion (anyone using their voice features?)
• Otter.ai (seems more business-focused?)

Current Use Cases:

• Post-meeting brain dumps
• Working through personal challenges
• Random thoughts on specific topics
• Daily reflections

Hi, I suffer from chronic migraines, and suffer from sensory sensitivity due to autism. Because of this, I often find my computer monitor is unbearably bright. I don't know why I didn't think to look for a monitor dimming program sooner, but, whatever.

I did a quick search last night, and found a long-abandoned program named ClickMonitorDDC, and found a link to install v.7.2, but, apart from adding an icon to my home screen and launching a Notepad doc with info about it, it did nothing.

I was wondering if someone would be able to either point me in the right direction to getting ClickMonitorDDC to install properly, or be able to suggest another screen dimming program for me to install.

Thanks in advance for your help! ☺️

Whoops, forgot to add that I'm running Windows 10 Pro, Version 22H2, OS Build 19045.5198

Does anyone have recommendations on a key stroke sound app?

Recently purchased a MacBook and downloaded the app Klack, and now the thought of typing on my windows PC without it is depressing.

All I’ve seen is MechVibes, has anyone used it? I’m particularly concerned with the permissions you have to give the app and the security issues that could bring up if it was malicious.

I just asked Code-Llama-34b this question and the answer ig to was way to technical and I'm hoping someone has any recommendations:

Here is my problem: I am frequently busy with life and my career and I don't have time for reading the news as it's presented to me on various news websites. I want to collect news for the next four years as part of my efforts to record what occurs during the next presidency and to help other people doing research, but I want to automate it. So what I would like is to either find an application that can offer the features I will include below this paragraph or advice on how I can accomplish my task. I want to be able to automatically download web pages as PDF files that will be saved on my computer in an offline format based on the keywords I include.

Features: Save the PDF under a folder named after the website the story is from and that folder will be saved under another folder that is called with the current date and time that the story was officially published. Those folders will appear under a master folder by the name of the search term used to find all similar news articles, Such as A folder named CNN, and under that will be a folder with today's date and time and under that a folder labeled with the term 'Trump". I want the program or script to be capable of running in perpetuity and able to work automatically.

Language: Python

The answer I got back doesn't work, I wasn't expecting it to generate a fully working program on my whim, but I was hoping for a link or suggestion to an application that I could use to do some parts of what I need. Can anyone recommend a program or script that exists that already works close to what I want?:

Here is another example.....

OP explaination below

In the past you used to use google reverse image search, and it gave tons of decent results with the "visually smilar images" on the results, It was very usefull and time saving but sometime in 2024 it was completly removed (Screw google lens)

Alas; I no longer have accsess to google reverse image search beacuse they removed the image results from the search bar down below....

(Why does google keep breaking itself?)

I know there where tons of complaints about this in the past......

(Are they any possible workarounds?)

Here's what im trying to refer to

I wanted to share my 2 IPTV players coded in Python, and they're open source.

The first player logs in via a MAC address and a portal.

The second player logs in via the portal with a username and password and also has EPG support.

Use VLC player for the external player.

I hope you all like it, and the best thing is that it's open source, so you can add or remove features and also learn from the code.

I would say it’s one of the best open source Python IPTV players around and it’s fast.

EDIT: I am such an idiot. I meant SPEECH-TO-TEXT.

Non-developer here, with a genuine question.

I use speech-to-text features quite a lot in my daily life. I write books for a living, and I put out enough volume that I use it to save my fingers.

Whether android or iOS, Siri or Windows, text to speech just...sucks. Even specialist programs like dragon still require a ton of editing and correction.

My question is: why? What makes speech-to-text such a difficult engineering challenge? Why do so many programs often spit out nonsense words, randomly capitalize things, sometimes insert duplicate words, and just in general make an absolute mess of whatever you're trying to say?

What is the design challenge here? Why is it so difficult?

I have an old, puchased copy of Adobe CS5 that I recently installed on a new Windows machine. After working correctly for several weeks (I entered the serial number, didn't use as trial) I'm now getting an "Activation Limit Reached" notification and can't use the software.

I haven't used the software on any other machines for at least two years, though likely did have it installed via Bootcamp on an old Mac that I recently reset. Not sure what the other device would be (two device limit).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, my grandma's computer is slow, like insufferably slow. It's an old HP i3 with an HDD. I was wondering if there was a way to trick the computer into booting from an external SSD (i didn't see another internal spot for another drive) without her losing all her data. She's ... Very against losing anything, so a factory reset isn't possible... So can I just make the system boot from the SSD and leave her HDD as internal storage?

Any advice would be super appreciated.

I'm looking for some open source software to allow me to manage my data; and which organisation's hold it. Ideally it would have a way to manage data protection requests such as SAR's etc (e.g. send the request and have a way for organisation's to reply directly within)... I'm sure this is very niche so its very possible it does not exist. Does anyone know of anything that may exist for this please?

I'm looking for a program (like a type of widget) that can do macros when we click on them, I'm using a steam deck with windows 11, and I would like to use macros when I click the macro with the touch screen, so that's why I need it.

I am trying to extract the models and whatnot of a defunct IOS game. The problem is that all the good stuff is located in a .big file titled "game.big", and NONE of the recommended extractors like Dragon Unpacker or FinalBig can open it for some reason.

I KNOW the contents i'm looking forare in the .big file, because when i view it with a text editor i can see some filenames. I just need a way to actually be able to open and view them...

Help is much appreciated.

I'm looking for something, I'm not sure whether it exists. If you know of something like this, I'd love if you could let me know.

Let's say I have a list of links. Some of them point to mp3 files on the web, some point to youtube videos, maybe some links to other common media types.

I would like to find a website where I can create a playlist that points to all of those links and then autoplays them. Bonus points if multiple people can edit the playlist.

I hope a website counts as "software." If not, can you recommend somewhere else I can ask?

Hello,

I am looking for an app / extension / plugin for work. I often need to have several windows of the same app open (like several file explorers) but this gets confusing and I often accidentally use the wrong instance. There is an extension for VSCode that does exactly this (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stuart.unique-window-colors). Does anyone know a similar plugin / app / etc. that works for file explorer / microsoft office apps?

Would be very greatful! Thanks!

I have uni lectures to watch and they are recorded on Panopto, however, this is not a service that you can just download the video from. I tried find the video source to make sure I can download/"save as" the video so that I can upload it to something like Turboscribe to transcribe my lecture so that I can follow along with the abysmal audio quality of the microphone. However, like I said, I cannot download the lectures through panopto no matter what extension I tried or other solution, but I was wondering if there was an AI software that transcribes the video im watching on another program. I'm guessing it would have to be something like OBS that would have to capture the window while it translates it. I guess it would have to be some kind of closed captioning service? Any help? Thanks

I'm looking for a free email client to use for my gamil account (I hate gmail's web thing) and would like an actual desktop app rather than a web-based version. I have a Microsoft subscription and wouldn't mind Outlook as I use it or work and it seems all right for simple email writing/adding attachments (which is all I need it for) but I've read that Outlook uploads emails to the cloud, which I don't want. I want more privacy. So: privacy, security, desktop app. Anything good?
