It just makes me want to cry every time i hear or see things about it.

What happened there is horiffic.

Photo Editing alludes to changing or enhancing computerized or conventional photographic pictures utilizing diverse methods, devices or programming. Pictures created by scanners, computerized cameras or other picture catching gadgets might be great! Picture altering is done to make the most ideal search for the pictures and furthermore to enhance the general nature of the picture as indicated by various parameters

If I recall correctly, LastPass has always charged for syncing between different devices - that is, you can sync between the same type of devices for free (desktop to desktop or desktop to laptop) but to sync a mobile device with a laptop or desktop requires a premium account. The same applies to mobile - to sync Android to iOS requires premium. Android to Android or iOS to iOS is free. 

LastPass doesn't function on Firefox/.Android for me. I haven't tried it in other browsers on Android after having so much trouble on Firefox. Before I stopped using it, I would log in to the web vault in Firefox and copy and paste logins and passwords to websites.

Not sure about Chrome and passwords, I don't enable any browser to store any passwords.

I believe Bitwarden was created in 2015 and released after a year of testing and development.

Thanks for your hard work and service to all your readers. Don't let the typing fingers rest too long. Again many thanks.

Keep us posted on what you end up with, Because I will remove Freemake also, Not that I use it alot but you want software to work when you do need it..

I installed LastPass on my laptop about three years ago. It worked well until it seemed a little unstable and quirky roughly a year ago. I searched and found Bitwarden and haven't looked back since.

I've been using Bitwarden for over a year and love it - never any problems.

No longer works with 64bit windows. New 64bit version is not free.

Best filtering solution I've found so far - Mobicip (https://www.mobicip.com/). Use it for my 9 and 12 year old kids.

To add to your list of places to get subtitles...

For Movies -
- http://www.yifysubtitles.com/
- https://www.subtitledb.org/

For TV shows -
- http://www.tvsubtitles.net/
- https: // www[DOT]tv-subs.net/home[DOT]html [Edit: Red-rated WOT site obfuscated]

Often times, the subtitles from these sites are not synced with the video you have. Many of the quality media players can correct for this. An alternative is the subtitle Tools website. There are many tools to edit your newly downloaded subtitle.

- https://subtitletools.com/

Appreciate additional insight. THX.

For Wndows the best app I came across is bsplayer which automatically search and download the subtitles for you. In Linux the one app I found the best for this is subdownloader VLC plugin tends to fail...at least that's been my experience with it.  

Well loaded a small compressed PC image fast. Similar layout to PS. Have to read up on kb shortcuts. Needed to dig to find crop/lens correction and such less used things.
Basics are pretty much up front tho rotate is a few levels down. Main barf for me - made a couple simple changes to a .jpg file and it went from 176 kb size to 6,462 kn. Suppose could run that larger file through XnViewMP again but why. Saving as a PS file seems ok. For now sticking with PC programs. if doing any large amount of work. Guess could appeal to smartphone quickie on a few images at a time. Thanks for pointing to it.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a free basic sound enhancer for pc/laptob sound generator. Just a basic equalizer will suffice..

Squoosh is a good choice. This image https://www.techsupportalert.com/files/images/pc_freeware/android_apps/S... optimized with it on this article https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/get-subtitles-your-favorite-mov... is reduced to only 24 KB, lower than the same image optimized with RIOT using the same default 75% quality. The two optimized images are of visually no difference but the one using Squoosh is smaller in size.

IrfanView is free and can convert and/or compress/resize all the mentioned formats (plus many others, including PSD, PDD, etc.) singly or in batch; and is constantly updated since.... at least 1999.

If you use PotPlayer to play your videos, which is the Gizmo's site's choice for Best Free Media Player, you don't have to touch the video file. You just put the .SRT in the same directory as the video file and make sure it has the same filename and PotPlayer will handle the display and sync of the subtitles.

I using a good computer system and it is really helpful for us. but I know good information about the system and sometimes In this occurs much error with windows then go to the website https://babasupport.org/windows/error-code-0x80071a90-windows-10/ which provide the best service and it is good for us.

Getting just security updates can be done manually on your own, and I agree that it should be an option. One of Microsoft's reasons for pushing Windows 10 to everyone as a SaaS was that everyone would be updated with the latest patches.
Having an option to opt out of the other parts (including the ads) would be a welome feature.

Being that i'm a home user, i refused the Windows 10 update on my computers. Tried to install 10 on 2 and was refused anyway. But, the September update for W 7 was set for automatic. On my new to me laptop. and i always set updates to notify me but leave install to my choice. For a day and a half the laptop slowed and froze and i wondered why? Investigated into updates and found that over a 9 hour period Windows tried to download and install September update 6500+ times. Each time rejecting the update.
After throwing out some 4 pieces of TV hardware when Windows 7 and ATI- er- AMD wouldn't update drivers after upgrading from W XP, i won't run W 10. Or AMD hardware. Dual booting Linux Mint now.
Have a Happy Turkey day, everybody!

"The bug breaks some file associations on some Win32 programs". Thanks for the warning.
Im sure the problems are understated
I always laugh when I see Microsofts descriptions of the updates - no actual benefits to productivity to make up for all the interruptions

If Microsoft had ethics, they would just provide Security updates, and not subject users to the Feature updates, most of which do not improve productivity, but can cause chaos to a well functioning computer

You can be sure that Windows 10 updates will want to upgrade at the most inconvenient time - generally on the morning you are trying to complete an important deadline.

If Photoshop is a problem, then so too will be most of Adobe's offerings for windows (although there is a 64 bit version of Photoshop and Illustrator). But Adobe's Acrobat Pro is already a minefield for Windows 10 - with the version issued with the widely used CS6 Suite, Acrobat 10 Pro, not working with Windows 10 at all and despite the fact that is is THE definitive .pdf file handling programme.
I find Adobe's approach baffling - they clearly have a great opportunity given the universal acceptance of pdfs as a cross platform reliable and secure docuent format, but unless on has deep pcoket one had to use a suite of small third-party apps to do anything but read pdfs. Anyway rant over, but you may need to be wary of the new update if you use slightly older Adobe products!

Restrictions on the free accounts will almost certainly lead to many free users leaving the site. However, if you're a serious photographer (read: have more than 1000 photos :) you may want to reconsider that decision.

For just $50/year for unlimited photos, this may still be a great deal. And if you convert to Pro before Nov 30, you're getting a 30% discount on the first year. If you don't find a good alternative soon, perhaps you can take advantage of this promotion and get yourself another 10-12 months to figure it out!

I have looked all over for a way in which it could be used to access FTP, but couldn't find it mentioned anywhere. On their site, it says it doesn't support plain FTP. Is there something I'm missing? Here is the link to the section on their page that says it can't use FTP: https://www.bitvise.com/getting-started-config-sftp-scp

I was encountering very short pauses when playing videos of .ts format and using VLC or Windows Media Player.
Once I installed PotPlayer,the problem disappeared.
Thanks George.J and Gizmo's Freeware.

Avast was bloatware on my computer. It also kept popping up with messages advertising their other products. I'm done with antiviruses. Using a firewall and common sense instead.

Wonderful! Thanks for the update. :)

There ya go, smooth sailing.  :)

What does your idea of a decent or generous amount of free storage look like?

I've spent at least a few days looking into alternatives to Flickr's free plan, and there isn't much available and most have a lack of features or limitations. If you're a photographer looking to retain the quality of your images, there are limits on all the free services (such as being able to upload 20 images a week).
If you're looking for place to store photos from your mobile device there are a few more options, but all come with limitations that may or may not be acceptable. Google and imgur are looking like workable alternatives if you can live with the limits on the size of each image and video uploaded.

Google Photos is probably the most viable alternative if you're looking for the largest amount of free space and features, with these caveats:
On the free plan, if a photo is larger than 16MP, it will be resized to 16MP.
4K videos are reduced to Full HD 1080p quality.
As with any Google service, if the user base doesn't meet Google's criteria (Picasa, Reader, etc), it could be shut down at any time.
I think they'll probably keep gmail, as it allows them collect data to serve ads more effectively, so it generates income. Photos take a huge amount of storage and storage is expensive.

Imgur has these limits:
Max image size/storage:
20 MB for all non-animated GIF images and 200 MB for animated GIF images. As far as I can tell, storage is unlimited, as long as images and videos fall into those size categories. EXIF data/metadata is removed on upload, removing the parameters that can used for sorting and search.
This isn't unusual, most social media sites like Facebook and Twitter strip EXIF and metadata on image upload.

With any service, it's good to keep the TOS in mind - if there's anything in your photos that anyone takes offense at, your account can be reported and closed. Imgur is pretty good about not closing accounts as long as images are labeled NSFW.

I don't store personal data online (photos or otherwise) outside of a gmail account I use anywhere I don't want to provide my personal email address or use a temporary address, so I may not be the best person to assess what works and what doesn't on photo storage sites, feature wise. I have no experience assessing things like how well the mobile apps work (if  available), album creation and organization, tagging, sorting, sharing, hot linking, retention or stripping of EXIF data and metadata, image privacy, what file formats are allowed, and so on. A search for image hosting sites or Flickr alternatives will likely yield other servies and their features and limits.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used to use Mp3tag when I ran a Windows system. I am now a Linux user, and can recommend Puddletag as the open-source/Linux equivalent. It does an excellent job.

For playing, organising and when necessary editing the tags of music tracks on my Android smartphone, I think Rocket Player is among the best. It is if course much more than a tag editor - it is a way of managing all aspects of your music collection

What about DirSyncPro? It seems great.

Great Collection of Wallpaper Apps. I also recommended you a free Live Camera Wallpaper app try it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=live.camera.wallpaper

Rhiannon,
Fantastic find! That will save bundles of time when searching for images. Thanks.

I can't speak to the developers intent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I understand not using the add-on because of its name.
I see that particular word many places I wouldn't expect to see it - a cookbook title comes to mind, and other titles.
I see it increasingly used in the titles of articles from mainstream sites, which surprises me.
Here in the USA it appears to have become a part of the standard vocabulary for people in certain age groups and doesn't seem to have the same assocations/connotations for those groups that it does for those of us in older age groups.

I respect your decision not to upgrade, we all make decisions about what works for us and we're all different. Plenty of room for everybody at the table. :)
LTSB does seem to be problematic for non Enterprise users to obtain. There's some discussion about it's lack of updates being a security issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've seen suggestions that O&O ShutUp10 can accomplish much of what LTSB does by default (adapt your security settings, protect your privacy, control location services, control Windows Updates, not pass on your user data and diagnostics).
It's a good program and has been written up here by Rob.
If you have to upgrade at some point it might be an option.
Ads can be disabled, for now at least, and some other annoyances/issues as well. 

I'm not suggesting that anyone upgrade, or not. That's up to each individual. My goal is to provide enough information so that everyone can decide what's comfortable for them and pass along any other information that might be of use.

I am saying that many of the concerns I've had about Windows 10 can be dealt with by changing settings in Windows 10 (ads) or third party software that has enough user history over time that I consider it reliable. Reliable enough that I would be comfortable moving my main system from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 if that's what I decided to do.
Microsoft has responded to some user input and made enough changes in areas of concern that those concerns aren't an issue for me anymore.

Updates are an issue for me too because of limited internet speed and data caps. Any Windows feature upgrade goes way over my data allowance and if that happens, my connection is throttled to the point that I can't easily retrieve email or load text only websites for quite a while.
My laptop has been running Windows 10 for over a year, and I haven't had any issues with updates being installed unless I choose to install them.

Other of us are happily running Windows 7 and will continue to do so for as long as possible, and that's ok too. :)

The first link in this article should be removed as it is to Vic Laurie's website which is no longer available.

I'm glad that version is working for you and you didn't have any issues.
I'm going to give FreeFileSync a try, it looks good, and I like their "you're using an ad-blocker" message. :)
 

Windows 10 seems to be having more issues than previous versions for a variety of reasons.
Microsoft pulled the latest feature upgrade (1809) not long after it was released. It's still up in the air as to when it will be rolled out. Some issues with the 1809 feature upgrade include the deletion of personal files (documents and photos) and blue screen errors.
The Windows 7 monthly rollup was causing blue screen errors, so issues aren't confined to Windows 10. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is the reason I wait to install patches and feature upgrades (the Windows 10 twice a year upgrade that contains new features and fixes) until the issues have been worked out. I tend to run a release or two behind the current feature update for that reason. I've done the same thing with every version of Windows I've used, starting with Windows 3.1. I wait until new updates and upgrades get the bugs worked out and then install them. 

The monthly Office and Windows patches don't usually cause much trouble and this would be a good time to install them since the 1809 release is on hold.

My favorite places to keep up with what's going on with Windows is Woody Leonhard's column over at Computerworld, and Susan Bradley's Master Patch list at Woody Leonhard's website. If you want to know anything about the patches for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Server 2012, Windows 7 and Office, whether they are safe to install, any issues being tracked, their status and what they are patching, Susan is the best person to check with for the latest status of Microsoft product patches.

Heads up!! Karen's Replicator v3.7 now available

This post was made by Fred Langa 10/11/2018

For details, and free download link,go to: https://langa.com/index.php/2018/10/11/heads-up-replicator-v3-7-now-available/

I used WizMouse for years in the past but never paid attention to the fact that it must have stayed with my different computers and many updates and upgrades. It is installed on my present computer and I could have updated it but checked my settings in Windows 10 and it's already turned on there so one or the other or both must be controlling this function. Does that make any sense? Is there any benefit to using one or the other or both? Will one defer to the other as the dominant application? :-)
