Aerocool V12XT 5.25" Bay Touch Panel Fan Controller - Black Products Model: V12XT [V12XT] Complete Guide to Symbolic Links (symlinks) on Windows or Linux. Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista all support symbolic links—also known as symlinks—that point to a file or folder on your system. You can create them using the Command Prompt or a third-party tool called Link Shell Extension. What Are Symbolic Links? Symbolic links are basically advanced shortcuts. Create a symbolic link to an individual file or folder, and that link will appear to be the same as the file or folder to Windows—even though it’s just a link pointing at the file or folder.

For example, let’s say you have a program that needs its files at C:\Program. You’d really like to store this directory at D:\Stuff, but the program requires that its files be at C:\Program. This trick can be used for all sorts of things, including syncing any folder with programs like Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. There are two type of symbolic links: Hard and soft. Note that Windows doesn’t actually use the terms “hard link” and “soft link”. How to Create Symbolic Links with mklink mklink Link Target.

Why I wrote this tutorial In attempting to understand the inner workings of JPEG compression, I was unable to find any real details on the net for how Huffman coding is used in the context of JPEG image compression. There are many sites that describe the generic huffman coding scheme, but none that describe how it will appear in a JPEG image, after factoring in the DHT tables, interleaved chroma subsampling components, etc. While it is relatively easy to understand the JPEG marker extraction, the Start of Scan data segment is the least understood and most important part of the image data. Therefore, I decided to create a page to walk through a decompression example. The relevant sections in the JPEG Standard are quite obscure -- enough so that I set out to analyze several JPEG images to reverse-engineer how the huffman coding was being applied in a JPEG JFIF file.

Help & How-To By Denny Atkin Broken notebook display? Popping in a new one is easier than you might think. What's more distressing than the sound of your laptop's screen cracking as it hits the floor? The voice of a tech-support rep telling you it will cost close to $1,000 to replace it. With little more than a screwdriver, however, you can replace the screen yourself and save a bundle.

Step 1: Determine if you need a new screen If you've dropped your laptop—or dropped something on it—and the screen has fractured, the diagnosis is easy. If your display problems aren't the result of visible physical damage, however, the problem may not be the LCD. If you see gibberish, lines, or a solid color on the screen, connect an external monitor and switch to that display (if you can).

Step 2: Find and remove the bezel screws Carefully pry back the small rubber covers on the bezel to reveal the screws holding it in place. Before you begin, remove the laptop's battery and disconnect the power brick. Main Page. Home. Gizmo's Freeware Reviews.
