hello, are there app for translating doc or txt mac or windows that can translating around 20 mb file, I only know discord bot, please share if you know
I would argue a few of your options here are not the best. Kodi is a bit heavy as just a media player, which makes sense as it was designed for htpc's. Emby, plex, or jellyfin are better if you need to play elsewhere like smart tv's, otherwise vlc or mpc are better for local files. Also, irfanview works better for photo viewing (and minor edits like crops).
The time marks in the description only list the categories or type of software in each section of the video. It does not lists the actual names of each individual piece of software covered here. We need that. Bummer
Great service you're doing, greatly appreciated. Just discovered, just subscribed. As one of the other responses to this post asks, I also would have really appreciated an actual text list of all the apps with the links. For some of your shorter playlists of 5-10 apps, typing in each on isn't a bother, but for a longer list like this it would be really helpful. As an example, for this I copied & pasted the time list or chapter list into excel so I could save it and peruse later,then spent a coupl minutes removing the times at the beginning, any residual leading spaces, etc, then and actually read the list to realize the text was a list of the apps at all, general descriptions. But, still definitely appreciated.
Software engineer here. For a free digital audio workstation, I'd actually recommend Cakewalk over LMMS, unless you're exclusively running on Linux. And you want to be weary of any "converter" software out there that can accomplish the same thing as a simple python script, even if it's open source (attack vectors can be easily obfuscated from public visibility). Example here would be 14:36, this can be done with VLC without use of a random external tool. Also, don't trust free VPNs.
Having all of these in one place/video is so useful, thanks. I'll be saving this one for future reference and to help family and friends. I already use a lot of these, but didn't know about 'Everthing' that's SO much better than Microsoft's search as you said. I've just installed and tried it out now. It saves SO much time.
Missing: MuseScore - Edit music using musical notation, midi output WinMerge - A directory/file comparator Maybe belongs in another category: Lazarus - Cross platform development tool - great for Windows applications GNU Octave - Math Works clone LT Spice - Analog simulator OpenRocket - Model rocket design
@@TheAnimeist well most daws come WITH piano roll and notarion literally included. lmms is the best option youll get. and the facr i havent found any usecase for musescore since SCHOOL, says something.
I had to jump on to say thank you for this video. I use some of these programs already, but you had a great lineup of programs I will want to try. I would think this video should be a, must watch, for all users. Thank you!
I second the mention of Faststone image viewer / editor. I use its editing functions most of the time instead of Photoshop due to its simplicity. It will also make stand alone executable slide shows. Very powerful and FREE!
I always used Irfanview which does have limits and doesn't work properly anymore, and I now use Faststone by default which is great and also shows folder thumbnail views plus some editing features. Won't remove watermarks that I know of. Don't know if it can do screen captures and saving images from PDF, but I still use IV for that.
I've been using it for many years too - it's fast, simple, and has some important for me features like hold left mouse button to zoom the image at 100% and pan around it to see all the detail.
You REALLY need to include Faststone Image Viewer. It's an outstanding image viewer with lots of features. My favorite is the ability to create photo proof sheets in PDF format.
@@reevus01 Yup, just like the olden days. A lot of older clients preferred that so they could quickly scan through a lot of images and identify the ones that stood out. Faststone also does image strips.
I own the FastStone Image Viewer and the FastStone Screen Capture program. I have sent in several enhancement requests and almost all of them were honored. He really does listen to what people have to say and has produced the best Screen Capture program that I know. If you left-single-click in the upper left corner of the FastStone toolbar where the small image is located, you can see a drop-down menu which includes the Preferences. If you then look at what all FastStone Screen Capture comes with you will see about twenty different selections that you can put onto the taskbar that comes up when you use it. This also incudes being able to do screen recordings which are great. FastStone is the ONLY Screen Capture program I use. A company I was working for used it and I looked at it and just went "Wow!" and THAT was quite a while ago. :-)
I worked for America on Line, not AOL. 1995~~96. They had listing of all free DLs available at that time. It was Ok, good. Your new type listing is one giant step forward. many thanks
I just like to take a moment to thank you so much for this software information. You have made my life a whole lot easier! Love you guys keep up the great work!
@26:10 - 7-zip. May I suggest using "Add to archive" FIRST, and create a TAR file. THEN select 7-zip again and then select either the 7z or ZIP file format. Why? Because the way both the 7z and ZIP file formats work is they build a table of each file separately thus, this table is being rebuilt for every-single-file. BUT! If you combine all files into a TAR file (A Tape Archive File) and then 7z/ZIP the TAR file - you get just one of those tables which reduces the resulting file size even more. (A TAR file is just like if you put everything onto a tape drive. So it is one file followed by another through the entire TAR file but the result is one big file.) Just a FYI for everyone. Great video by the way. I've already downloaded and tried most of the video and audio programs however MIXXX has been trying to load two music files for over an hour. Not looking good for MIXXX. (Rinsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade and Mr. Magoo's 'All Alone in the World' BTW)
Blender doesn't so much have a learning curve more of a Sisyphean cliff edge. It's great when you get it though and the UI is way. better than it used to be.
I am only a little familiar with it because I learned besides animations, actual cool games were made with it so I started watching tutorials. I feel like that feature (a physics engine that can be programmed to make a game) deserves more attention. It occurs to me I still know basically nothing about blender.
Great video!! Found some useful apps I didn't know about. Thanks for this, can't begin to imagine the crazy amount of work that must've gone into making this video.
this is an amazing list- Here are some programs I like: fast stone viewer, coretemp, tree size free, and I like to use a tree-based information manager. Questions- is there a good free calculator? is there a good free duplicate file cleaner? is there a free pdf editor?
Also include easy2boot as alternative for rufus. It allows you to create a bootable usb with multiple ISOs (as many as you like) and creates 2 partitions, 1 for legacy boot and 1 for uefi boot. It also loads current activity into the system RAM so that when a process is busy like cloning or benchmarking ect the usb can be removed and used elsware until the process is done. I have a easy2boot drive loaded with a Strelec WinPE boot environment loaded with usefull tools, different windows install ISOs and just general tools that can be used on a customsers boot installation, all on 1 usb drive
Thanks again for your research and excellent video. With regard to video players, I like to use spacebar to pause/play (like UA-cam). This was very fiddly with VLC, requiring an addon, which no longer works. Pot player allowed this customisation, but the first 2 seconds of audio is muted on all videos! So, I now use SM Player, which is neat and simple and allows custom keyboard shortcuts.
Yeah you have to click the empty black space to control it with the keyboard (vlc i mean). Maybe you haven't learned that. Never heard of an addon for that. As long as the black space is selected (or video if it's a video), you can use cursor keys to go back and forth and adjust volume and spacebar to pause. But you don't always know if it's selected so it's finicky as you say.
Thanks a lot, a very useful video. Short and sweet descriptions. My quest will be over though when I will find a really good open source pdf editor that can really edit the documents. Thanks again.
Excellent reporting. Thank you! I rely mainly on the built-in Windows Defender for my antivirus, but whenever I get suspicious or want to double-check my system, I really like TrendMicro Housecall. Bitdefender looks good, and I'll definitely give that a try. You are correct about Everything! It's a must-have. Also, I highly, highly recommend Lockhunter. Sometimes Windows won't let go of a file and you have to force it. Lockhunter is free and integrates to your file system so it appears on the context menus in file manager.
Thanks for making this. While this lists several software that I know and love, you introduced me to big handful of new ones, and options to other software that I use now. Love open source.
i use bitwarden but i pay 10 dollars per year for 2fa. i tried one password but when i imported from bitwarden i had to import into csv and i couldn’t find on how to set up my password from the csv file
