Finally managed to contribute something again! It's 00:00 now, so I'll pick this up tomorrow if noone else has by then [[User:Gir|-- //gir.st/]] ([[User talk:Gir|talk]]) 21:56, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

I don't see what's alarming on ratio between good and bad photos. With digital cameras, actually choosing which photos are good takes more time than taking them in first place, so its often skipped. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 22:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

I think the menu option about "Download Cloud" in the title text is referring to the general concept of the cloud - in other words, downloading the "entire" cloud, not their own personal cloud storage!

Why is there an IP editor bolding random letters? [[User:RandomIsocahedron|RandomIsocahedron]] ([[User talk:RandomIsocahedron|talk]]) 02:13, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
:Look at the bolded letters. It's the guy who plasters 'soon the truth will be revealed' everywhere again. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.114.94|162.158.114.94]] 09:58, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
::I totally missed the message contained in the bold letters! I guess the truth was not revealed to me! [[User:Ianrbibtitlht|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht|talk]]) 12:55, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I've replaced the table with a description list, as per the [[explain xkcd:Editor FAQ#In_which_cases_are_tables_meaningful.2C_and_when_are_they_not.3F|Editor FAQ]]. It's obvious that one is the "item" and the other its "explanation." [[User:Gir|-- //gir.st/]] ([[User talk:Gir|talk]]) 17:04, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
:Thanks, I was just thinking I should probably do that :) [[User:Hawthorn|Hawthorn]] ([[User talk:Hawthorn|talk]]) 17:09, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


I think that "Optimize menu options" relates to the facility in older MS Office whereby it "hid" menu options that you hadn't used for "a while"; in theory "optimising" the menu and only showing you the options you used recently but in reality if you didn't use one of the programs for a long time you could open it and, so helpfully, find all your menu options gone. Not sure what to word in the explanation tho'. [[User:Nobby|Nobby]] ([[User talk:Nobby|talk]]) 07:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

FYI about the "Convert photos to text-only" part: Sometimes, when downloading pictures from internet the file is somehow saved as .txt and double click will successfully open as such (although it will look like gibberish as-is). If opened with a photo-viewing program that detects files with wrong extensions (IrfanView for example) the file can be renamed and opened as the photo file (.jpg usually) without loss of information. This can be used to hide photos not intended to be seen by other people.

"Convert photos to text-only" What about UUEncoding & UUDecoding? When newsgroups were much bigger, it was a popular way to transmit images.

:that's an encoding, not a conversion. (this section, imo, already has way too many things. i'd trim it down to 1) ascii-art and 2) captionbot-like services) [[User:Gir|-- //gir.st/]] ([[User talk:Gir|talk]]) 22:10, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

I mean he's got more free space than I do and I've got no videos, no documents, less than 5MB of photos, only about 1MB of which is actually on my computer's internal storage, and less than 2GB of applications, when you're using a laptop with 29.1GB max storage and no capability to format drives as internal for some reason or to increase said storage, you really start to hate system, and you wish that your internal storage could be replaced with that one SD you have that has more than 10 times the storage of your entire computer. 10:46, 26 June 2019 (UTC+12)

−	Randall has been known to use Mac computers (see comics referencing OS X "say" command, "Trash" folder, etc.) and the default MacOS disk storage display ( menu -> About This Mac -> Storage) is notorious for displaying huge wodges of used storage space with only the vague labels "System" or "Other", which can end up being infuriating when trying to clear out a hard drive. I'm pretty sure that's where this comic comes from. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.66.63\|172.68.66.63]] 11:10, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
