@The Atomic Punk

Hey Gourmando, how much weight did you gain overnight?

 

[jack]

Are you just acting ignorant or merely feigning ignorance it impress your bedwetting co-trolls?

You are aware of the eco-war waged to save "nature" at the expense of mankind.

Very much so.

You didn't answer the question.

 

[Admin.]

Very much so.

Let the “man” eat in peace. He’s got a lot of eating to do.

 

[Lily]

Very much so.

At the expense of mankind as if we weren't part and parcel of nature. What an ignoramus.

Wait you mean the wood frame of my house won’t provide shade or a place for birds to nest anymore?

 

[The Atomic Punk]

I told you....... you are clearly aware of the issues blind adherence to misguided climate policies created.........you know what they are, and you know the result of them.

Do you really need me to educate you?
I understand the MSM is telling you what to think, but there is enought information out there to free yourself from the Libtard Borg.........I doubt you can though.

But I would be remiss in not includingvthe failure of the Dimocrat state and local leadership. Can you provide one example of leadership from Bass or Newsome that mitigated the crisis? No, you cannot. How about that DEI staffed FD administration?.........yes.........quite the group of heros there.

How much was cut from the FD budget by Mayor Bass?

Yes.......California's Climate, DEI and Social Justice focus left one thing out of focus........public safety.......Sad

You lost the right to use DEI as a slur when you elected the bad orange guy.

DEI is coming back, just not in the way that you think.

Woke is also still coming, although my guess is you'll sleep through it, because Trump.

Good luck.

It's cool that you don't understand Lily.

She and I are sympatico. And much to everyone's chagrin we are independent posters, not joined at the hip.

The board's gain...just my opinion.

They are just trying to create drama. Like 3rd graders they think they need to agree on everything or "You're not my friend!"

True discourse is from the heart.

This is a troll board, and I'm into mud wrestling as part of the "bloodsport" that occurs.

But the community is even more interesting than it was when I first showed up. And the level of adult discourse is increasing and cross connecting through the dissonance,

The trolling is at a different level, but not unfamiliar.

But I enjoy all the folks I've met here.

I agree. In real life, my partner are about as 180 degree opposite in politics. We can have a passionate debate about a topic and then can talk about what we want to make for dinner.

These people that see others are their "enemies" are completely mental as far as I'm concerned.

 

[jack]

I was lucky. I didn't have to find a second partner to do that. What didn't kill us has made us stronger.

I am glad you found your second partner.

Better than a thumb drive which can get lost, damaged, or stolen is an offsite backup. I use Google Drive, it's 2 Terabytes of storage for about $100 per year. One of the nice features is that if you've got an older pc with a smallish hard drive you can choose to mirror some or all of your data files (mulitimedia, documents etc) so that they aren't physically stored on your computer but act like they are when you view them, copy them etc (although there's somewhat of a lag depending on file size and your internet connection.

I prefer the digital photos and videos because they can be cleaned up, enhanced, cropped, etc and I think they look a lot more interesting when they cycle on a photoframe on a table.

Wizer I encountered a problem. I'm moving pics to a 1GB micro SD card that I can use in a photo frame. After about 2/3 of the card gets full, the PC tells me the root drive H:\ is formatted with the FAT32 system and can't take anymore. It says to convert to NTFS system. Doesn't that require changing everything on the PC? I don't get it. There is loads of space on the SD card.

 

[The Prowler]

No.

 

[oldslowandugly]

No.

So what do you do? I'm seeing tutorials for tools to convert but with risk of losing data.
Also it says put the rest in a folder. OK, done, folder fits on SD card. But the photo frame can't open a folder. It all has to be one-at-a-time so it can do the slide show. Yet, all those pics in the folder are on the card. So why can't the individual pics?

You can easily reformat the micro SD as NTFS which is a more stable and secure file system. It stores files in larger chunks which can make for more efficient storage. Simply choose it as an option when you select Format. Any data on the SD card will be erased. This process has no effect on your computer or hard drive unless of course you format your hard drive which would be quite the blunder if it was even possible.

Edited to add: If the SD card doesn't show anything close to the correct storage size after formatting as NTFS then you will need to repartition the drive, not as challenging as it sounds, it can be done with built in Windows commands.

A photoframe cannot read the contents of a subfolder, you needto put all the media files (pictures and videos) in the main directory of the flash drive or SD card that the photo frame reads from. You can create subfolders on the SD card to store other data, or keep backups of the media files in the main folder, or photos/videos you don't want to cycle on the photoframe at the moment.

THANK YOU!!! So I can just reformat the SD card. I will try that. The Microsucks tutorials wanted you to change the entire system. I figured a 1GB card would hold almost every photo I own so I rounded up a couple new ones. Not that easy as they are up to 1TB nowadays. I just could not figure why it said FULL when there was over 300 MB free on the card. I wanted to finally use the frame my kids got me for my birthday many moons go.
Wizer- you rule!

 

[oldslowandugly]

UPDATE: It worked. I have only 456KB free on the card. OUTSTANDING!!!

Glad to help. It's a second hobby of mine. I've got videos and pictures cycling on my photoframe that go back to my great grandparents and are as recent as last week. Not sure what you mean about 456kb free on the card I'm thinking you meant to write Megabytes not KB..If your photos actually filled up the card and the card is showing the proper storage amount then you probably need to resize your photos, they shouldn't be more than a few hundred KB each. The default for smart iphones and GoPros is closer to 5 megabyte and that is a complete waste of space, there's absolutely no need to use the default resolution.

If you want some photo and video editing tips free free to ask.

 

[jack]

No.

As opposed to this. Nice work, wizer.

 

[oldslowandugly]

456kb free on the card

When I look at the SD card on the PC, OS, it says 456kb are free. But I can't add a single pic more. When I open the card, and choose a pic, and click on 'properties', most pics are 2mb or a bit more. Some are over 200kb. So I guess I was trying to add some that were just too big. I now will check any new ones for size and adjust accordingly.

I am no computer wizz, far from it. But I find it interesting. I found an ancient VHS tape that we took at a family reunion in 1996. I wanted to send copies to my family but who has a VCR anymore? I got a VIDBOX converter that converted my VHS tape to digital. Then I just burned DVD copies for everyone. I even posted the video to YouTube for the really old folks, and had my cousins show them the video on their smart phones.

Interesting stuff that you can do. Thanks again for the help and I will surely ask for more when needed.

Back to topic. ANOTHER GD fire?!? North of LA? How the hell can fires be starting when everyone is scared shitless already? I don't think anyone is BBQ-ing or toasting marshmallows outside. Arson sounds like the most likely culprit. 5000 acres gone in two hours. Devil winds coming back.

And on the flip side, the Gulf coast got more snow than we did here in Shitty City. WTF?!? And they do NOT know how to act in snow down there. I was in Ft. Jackson, South Carolina in 1973. It snowed about four inches. I saw cars spinning like tops flying right through intersections. Smashed cars littered the streets. Within a week it was 80° again.

Check out Fotosizer. It's freeware and can batch convert entire folders of pictures to any size you want. For a photoframe 1280 by 720vis more than enough and doing this will free up loads of space on the card. Most of my photos are under 200kb.

I did the same with my old VHS tapes using an analog to digital converter. I had old 16mm movie reels too, those I sent to a company to digitize them, and then I edited them to remove the unwanted parts. Sent them out to my family as you did, it was much appreicated.
