I have an mp4 file of something that was originally widescreen but has been reformatted to fit an old-fashioned TV. That is to say, it has gone from (I think) 16:9 to 4:3. The effect is that all the characters in the clip appear taller and thinner than they really were in the original.
Does anyone know if there is a filter (in ShotCut, ideally) which could correct that problem and return the file to its original aspect ratio? Or another way to address the problem? AndyJones ( talk) 12:31, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
This happens on several sites when I am typing in a box like this. It doesn't happen on Wikipedia because there are no ads. I don't know if there is a fix even if I can get through to the people who can fix the software.
I'm not sure how I figured it out but it seems to happen when an ad appears on the screen. Not all ads, though. And I don't notice right away that what I typed stopped appearing because I look at the keyboard, something my typing teacher told me not to do, then I don't realize the words didn't show up.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 23:18, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi. In Magic words on "MediaWiki" about the Variable REVISIONTIMESTAMP you can read "Viewed revision of current page (latest revision or selected older revision)". Does anybody know how can you select with this variable an older revision, for example the first revision of any article? 46.114.107.163 ( talk) 06:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
I remember there being some sort of theory or law about the limit of the performance of silicon-based computing hardware, but I can't remember what it was called for the life of me. Anyone know what this is called? I hope I explained it well. vghfr (✉ Talk) (✏ Contribs) 02:03, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, in this website https://www.ifosta.de/Sport/Rudern/11-InternationaleTiteltraeger/Europameister-Rudern.html I want to find the URL for these two links (they are at the bottom of the page):
100. Wettkämpfe – Rudern
101. Wettkämpfe – Leichtgewicht
to be able to use it as a link. However, when I click on these two links, the information I need opens, but the URL doesn't change. What trick can be used to find the direct URL of these two links? Thank you very much. 46.114.181.185 ( talk) 19:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks @ RudolfRed:, ok, but can you tell me what are those tricks that can be used to display directly the content? 46.114.181.185 ( talk) 00:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
A month ago or so, I advised my father to buy storage space at Google so that all photos on his Android phone are automatically backed up to the cloud. Google offers 100 GB of space for a very small monthly fee, and I use this myself and am very happy with it.
I think the service is called Google Drive, or maybe Google One. I find it hard to understand what things are actually called.
We did manage to set up a 100 GB subscription, and it works great!
But unfortunately, before we succeeded in setting this up, I think we accidentally started a free trial of something known as Google Cloud, which apparently is not the same thing as Google Drive/One/the consumer-friendly 100 GB photo cloud storage thing.
Today, he received an email from Google telling him that his Google Cloud trial was about to end:
Your free trial has ended. Take action now to keep what you built. Time has run out, and your free trial is over. After 30 days, your work may be deleted. Activate your full account now to keep what you built and gain full access to Google Cloud.
Then there was a big button named "Active your full account", and my father clicked this (which he really should not have done).
Apparently he did really activate something, because then he got a new mail:
Thanks for activating your full account. You now have full access to Google Cloud products, including monthly usage of services in the Free Tier program. You can set up budget alerts to track charges on your billing account.
Of course, my father has no idea what this is all about. Actually, the same goes for me. I have no idea what this is. All I can tell is that this is not the consumer-friendly photo cloud storage my father wants to use.
So, the question is how to get rid of this. Obviously, he does not want to pay a monthly fee for something he will not use. (Is there a monthly fee for Google Cloud? Even I have no idea.) But he also doesn't want to remove his credit card entirely from Google, since it is used to pay for the cheap monthly 100 GB photo storage thing.
Any advice?

In UBASIC, in the line "130 IF ((3*L^2+L)\2)@K=(-N)@K", is @ mod? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 05:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
12345@678 = 141
. I assume you have figured out that \
denotes integer division. I'm not sure though what happens when the operands can be negative. --
