  • Are the tracks incorrect as in the first track should be English but is the French track, or track one is labelled as English but is actually French?

    If they’re labelled correctly, your media player should be able to select your chosen language from the options, whichever order they’re in. I think Plex does it.

    If they’re incorrectly labelled, there are tools that can fix them, but it’s been years since I last used one. I think MakeMKV did it, but it was gui from what I remember.








  • If you’re taking any other meds, speak to a doctor before you try it.

    I have a chronic illness that led to organ transplantation, and cannabis would interfere with one of my rejection meds. That would have caused me much bigger problems than the pain that I was trying to stop.

    Unfortunately, cannabis has an almost cult like mythology around it. There are lots of people who will tell you that it cures everything, from mild pain to every type of cancer, and will even clean and polish your car 😉

    I hope you find what you need. Good luck 🙂



  • You’re missing a point though. You used Pubmed as an example of good information being available, but it’s only useful because you know it exists.

    In your example, there’s a real life librarian who would walk you past the lifestyle magazines to show you where the ‘real’ information is. On the internet, the search engines that act as the librarian take you directly to the lifestyle magazines and tell you that they’re the best source of information available, because they’ve been paid to do so. If you push them, they might show you something better, but it can be hard to find.









  • This works if you signed in with your Microsoft account, are scrapping the old PC (or at least not using the copy of Windows), and are installing the same version of Windows on the new hardware.

    During installation select the option for I have no activation key. Once Windows is installed, open settings and select the activate Windows option. Go through the activation troubleshooter and there’s an option to transfer the key from an old installation. Select the correct one based on whatever you called the old installation, and you should be set.

    There’s lots of good advice in this thread, but there’s no point in pirating a copy of Windows when you already own one.




  • Another reason on top of what’s been mentioned already (although probably minor), is that out of the box, Firefox doesn’t let you run multiple instances.

    I’ve been learning to write a web app and updating websites, so have been using PortableApps to launch a second instance of Chrome to double check how everything looks when I’m not logged in. I tried switching to Firefox, but it wouldn’t let me open the second instance, meaning that every time I wanted to check the site, I’d have to log out. I check them in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

    I might be a niche case, but I’m already finding it really annoying. I can’t imagine how much more frustrating it would be to try to write a browser that can’t run at the same time as your preferred browser.
