Why can't I delete or right-click certain files in certain folders?

I'm able to delete files elsewhere, and right-clicking on my desktop and some other places is no problem. But for some reason, I can't delete/right-click any folder in my pictures and videos folder. I also recently uninstalled YouCam software, and there's still a folder in both of these sections I'm trying to delete. Weirdly, it says "this folder is unavailable" despite being still visible. It's like that in both folders. When I right-click it or any other folder in those sections, nothing happens. But if I move the cursor over to my desktop and right-click there, the menu pops up normally. So how can I delete these folders?

Best I've used is vector magic but it's still not perfect.

However, you should learn how to draw better in inkscape and trace over images in inkscape for the best accuracy.

Vector magic will output a SVG but you still have to fix that shit with inkscape.

Does DAZ loader compromise the security of W7?

I am a poorfag putting together his PC with an old 2010 Dell, and I have all the hardware but I want to replace the HDD and don't feel like going through all the trouble needed to clone it onto the new one.

I intend on using this as my personal daily driver, so email, web browsing, banking, everything. I'm tired of playing msoft's games so I want to "acquire" windows 7.

Would installing with a legit ISO burned onto a dvd then activating with DAZ make it a botnet, or should I just install Linux?

Depends on the motherboard BIOS settings and thermal stress. The stock cooler that comes with non-K intel processors is only enough to cool them at their base frequency. If you want to run your processor at turbo speeds 24/7 I recommend buying an aftermarket cooler like the hyper evo 212 else you risk the CPU sustaining permanent damage over time if temps are too high.

all right, i managed to delete those folders. for some reason, they don't show up when you try to locate them after locating them through the hdd rather than just going start to pictures/videos. also, i was only able to delete them by right-clicking them on the side panel. still doesn't let me click in the pictures/videos folder. weird.

one more thing... this is related to webcam software i want uninstalled. i know sometimes after you uninstall software, you sometimes still have the folders located elsewhere, like sometimes it'll still be in the program files. real quick, could you guys tell me where i should be looking so i can make sure i've got rid of everything? thanks.

My sister has a 2011 Macbook Pro 15". Recently it stopped booting, basically the apple logo appears, and the loading bar starts loading, and then it stops and just sits there. Sometimes after it stops loading it just goes to a blank white screen and nothing happens, even after leaving it there for hours. It won't start in safe mode either.

I tried everything I could (I know nothing about macs or how to work them). I reset the PRAM, I tried checking the disk using single user mode (which said the HDD was fine, but it has to be a HDD issue).

She has no recovery, so unable to do that either.

I'm pretty sure its the HDD, as I took out the HDD, put it in an external enclosure and tried to see if it would read on her iMac, which it did, but the folders were un-accessible. Basically, the folders appeared, but when you clicked on them nothing came up.

I think if she goes to the Apple store or elsewhere they will overcharge her. I think I should just replace the HDD, right? I'm thinking about just getting a 512GB SSD. How do I go about installing OSX on a new HDD though? She doesn't have the OSX disk that came with the laptop or anything, and I really don't want to have to re-buy the OS either.
>>
>>54396508
mac is unix bruh, so of course you can't actually access the files without the proper credentials, have you tried a live linux? it should let you see the files and when you go to access them, linux will ask you to provide the credentials, just use her usernam/password

>>
>>54396581
So then the HDD is probably working then? No I haven't tried Linux, I run W10 and was using her iMac to see if I could get any files off the HDD.

I think it's something else then, maybe the motherboard or something else on her laptop, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue though.
>>
>>54396508
I had this issue too, I basically had to reinstall my os. The reason that her folders have nothing in them is because they are journaled. You can make a bootable usb by finding the OS online or by using another mac to download and make the bootable usb. You will need another mac to make the bootable usb.

I'm planning to build myself a desktop PC. The last time I did stuff like that there was still AGP around, so I'm sort of out of touch. Just a small build for work, nothing beefy, but also nothing that will be completely outdated in a couple of years. So I decided to pick a Intel i3-6100T (35 W TDP), appropriate mITX mainboard, 16 GB of 2.1 GHz DDR4 memory and an SSD. I don't need more than the integrated GPU, so that's all that needs to be in that case.

So my question is: How much watts does my PSU need to offer? Or if that's too specific, can you point me to reliable online calculators or other sources to determine that? Everything I found seems to be targeted at gamer kiddies.

My computer restarts immediately whenever I open a 3D application. Like, a few frames into a 3D benchmark it restarts.

I've ruled out CPU and RAM as being being the culprit, and it doesn't seem like there is even enough time for the GPU to overheat (temp doesn't go above 55 before crashing). It's definitely not the drivers either, I've used multiple different versions.

I think it's the power supply. What is the best way to test this?

Video editor?

I'm looking for the "gimp equivalent" of video editing, I tried to ask /wsg/ and they advised me to use lightworks, which messed the audio up in my videos, and it can't be easily solved.
Is there any video editor which free as in freedom and reliable? It doesn't has to be high end at all, I just want to trim and join videos, add some audio files and mess around basically.

Alright, this weekend im building my first pc and im looking forward to it.

Two questions: 1, how can I update Windows 7 SP 1 without hitting a Win10 forced upgrade? Is the aegis script good enough, or do I need to take additional measures? Or can I just survive without updates? (sounds like a terrible idea, but if its what I must do at this point then I guess I have no choice).

Two, what is the best package manager for windows? Ive tried using chocolatey in the past, and it "just works" but it is a pain to use. There are always dumb problems when there shouldnt be any.

Better question, should I even bother using a package manager, or are all of them shit?
>>
>>54399570
I've got the process list open, but I haven't seen anything really out of the question, yet. svchost being a hog for superfetch but that's about it. Startup stuff looks normal, too, other than some things that came with the new drivers I installed, but that was after this problem started.

I just POSTed up on a brand-new build, but none of my OS installs are recognizing my main drive. It's a Samsung 850 EVO connected to a Gigabyte XP-SLI board, and I didn't use the CDs they came with because my case doesn't have an optical drive. Is this an expected outcome? Should I double-check the SATA connection, find an external CD drive, or do something else?

>>54400120
I feel like there are more knowledgeable places on the web to discuss copyright law, but don't worry about it.

>Does that mean i can use the song in a project if i don't make any money off of it and source where i got the music

AND if you don't change the music in any way, yes. Legally speaking, derivative works are anything where you base your own work (which has your own implicit copyright) on someone else's, e.g. fanfiction or song remixes.

Is there a reason to get zoom lenses over prime lenses assuming the price is the same?

The price is never the same, a zoom lens will cost more or less on par with a prime lens and have worse specs because compromises have to be made for zoom.

Consider the below:

>Canon EF-S f/3.6-5.6 18-55mm IS STM lens, $250
or
>Canon EF f/2.8 (?) 24mm STM lens, $170
>Canon EF-S f/2.0 (?) 40mm STM lens, $200
>Canon EF-S f/1.8 50mm STM lens, $160

By all rights the top zoom lens fills the focal length niches of the bottom three lenses, plus it's more convenient and cheaper, but the zoom lens is not particularly fast.

I'm relatively new to photography and got a $600 gift card for a camera store. I need a quick lens but it's much more expensive to use strictly prime lenses.

Hey, /g/. I'm working on a small personal project using git, and I'm wondering if someone could clarify something for me. I have my 'master' branch and a second branch 'branchA', which I'm currently working on/pointing to. Now, if I switch to 'master' and run 'git status' all of the same files I've edited on 'branchA' are showing up in the 'git status' for the master branch. All of the changes to those files show up as well when I open whatever program to edit my code. I was under the impression that switching branches should reset the files back to what they were when the branch was made. Am I wrong? Or am I not branching correctly?

Does anyone have any experience with Coreboot/Libreboot?

Just for clarification, I'm pretty good with computers by regular people's standards, but I'm a complete noob compared to y'all.

I think I can follow the guide fairly well, but I also feel like if something goes wrong I won't have a clue what to do and it's so obscure that there's next to no resources to help me, besides bugging y'all which I don't wanna resort to.

Upgraded from GTX 560 to GTX 960.
It gets stuck on the intel boot up sequence.
I can hear the card doing 'clicks' for each key I press on the keyboard
but it ain't executing them.

What I have tried
>Re-Inserted the card several times
>Taken out RAM and inserted it back in
>Cleared CMOS
>Turned the card in for fault check, No faults

It's a mystery to me what to do or what is wrong.
Suggestions?

What I really want to know is should I pay an extra 50 bucks to get the pro rather than the evo (in pic related) for a general purpose and gaming PC? But I'd like to know for future reference too.

Anyone know why uguu.se is being flagged as malware now by botnet chrome?

haven't been here in a few years?

is common sense still the recommended antivirus of /g/? My work has a free endpoint AV available to all staff, should I install it or not?

The pro has a more reliable controller which is reflected in it having a 10 year warranty

Whether that is worth it is for you to decide.

You shouldn't. For consumer workloads an EVO will accomplish your tasks just fine.
