  GSmartControl - any means to get smart data using terminal command
Posted by: Sprintrdriver - 09-01-2019, 07:22 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (3)

Hi.
I have installed the program GSmartControl 1.1.3 so that I can extract health data from any harddrives connected to the computer.
After I installed the program, the procedure to get HDD smart data is to open the program, navigate to correct tab and from there I can select and copy the smart data from any given harddrive.The question is : Is there any way to use Terminal to output the smart-data from a given disk?

  "Do Not Track" - does it do justice?
Posted by: MS - 09-01-2019, 10:13 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (10)

I was thinking whether "Do Not Track" option, available in most modern web browsers, actually does make any difference, since as far as I know, it only asks the websites to kindly not treat the visitor with all the roentgen stuff, which the request could be perfectly ignored. Furthermore, I was thinking, if somebody is asking to not be tracked - while the statistical majority is ignorant of the feature, therefore wishes to be tracked - it could bring a paradoxical result, in which such a visitor would be monitored extra, because of the neon sign.

any ways , its not my thing, but my other half tried  a site , and it froze my PC, lol, his brain is going i think , ha ha , he did this twice to me so far, like last night , ha ha , i had to reinstall Linux lite , it froze my pc big time, lol....... i now have Linux lite 4.6 cuz of this fun thing he did .......so now my PC is a virgin again, .....ha ha toooo funny right ?....PC is fine now.

he is 12.5 years older than me , i refuse to get mad, only chuckle, dont know why he forgot what happen the first time my Linux PC froze cuz of him.
but he is up there in age years, one can not really get mad at a old fella wanting to look at nipples ....right ?.

  'Lightroom' app (Photoshop): is there an equivalent for LL
Posted by: m654321 - 08-31-2019, 07:21 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

I know someone whose on the verge of switching from Windows 10 to LL. 
He's a keen photographer, using Photoshop Lightroom (a.k.a. Lightroom) to routinely modify the raw file parameters of his photos (e.g. colour balance, exposure, etc). Raw is the name of the file format

His concern is that if he switches to LL, there wont be software available, like Lightroom, that will enable him to manipulate the raw file parameters. 

Is there a good equivalent of Lightroom that he could use in LL?

  Someone Forked GIMP into Glimpse Because Gimp is an Offensive Word
Posted by: Moltke - 08-30-2019, 02:21 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile
While checking itfoss.com bumped into this article https://itsfoss.com/gimp-fork-glimpse/ Excertp:

Quote:If you are wondering why these people find the work GIMP disagreeable they answer that question on the About page:

“If English is not your first language, then you may not have realised that the word “gimp” is problematic. In some countries it is considered a slur against disabled people and a playground insult directed at unpopular children. It can also be linked to certain “after dark” activities performed by consenting adults.”
What do you think? I find it "overreacted" and unnecessary. GIMP works great.
