Newest Vegas 21 Pro is no exception. I run into problems almost instantly. Right after i’ve decided to render video clip. Upon export attempt application showed me error: 0x80131501 How typical! To fix things up i just took DLL library [RenderAsDialog.dll, which is responsible for export dialog] from previous Vegas Pro 18 [sub-version 284 to be precise] and substituted original file with above mentioned. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-completely-disable-telemetry-services-which-dial-back-to-third-parties-in-firefox/ Fri, 04 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-completely-disable-telemetry-services-which-dial-back-to-third-parties-in-firefox/ UPDATED ON: 2023-09-06 Some new parameters were added. Note that by default all [Nightly versions] of Firefox are sending back telemetry to third-parties in extensive manner. So, to disable such malicious actions besides turning off telemetry settings via standard GUI options: about:preferences#privacy You’ll need to use good old: about:config To change to: FALSE …or create following parameters in software registry: toolkit.telemetry.archive.enabled toolkit.telemetry.enabled toolkit.telemetry.unified toolkit.telemetry.unifiedIsOptIn toolkit.telemetry.bhrPing.enabled toolkit.telemetry.firstShutdownPing.enabled toolkit.telemetry.hybridContent.enabled toolkit.telemetry.newProfilePing.enabled toolkit.telemetry.reportingpolicy.firstRun toolkit. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-minimize-laptop-power-consumption/ Thu, 29 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-minimize-laptop-power-consumption/ Say you need to run on a laptop battery vintage or simply non-demanding applications for an extremely long time. Here is a little breakdown of mandatory things to do: turn off in BIOS unneeded devices like camera, sd-card reader, fingerprint scanner, gsm-modem, wifi, bt or whatever you are not using turn on power saving features like various C-power states turn off hyper-threading and hi-core count [if you have such ability] lower screen brightness to acceptable level check my [quick] and [comprehensive] optimization FAQs get rid of [unneeded services and bloat applications] Also you can use core parking utility [Park Control], but in this mini-guide i’ll show you how to set power related things up via internal Windows 7 tools. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-expand-list-of-supported-addons-in-android-firefox/ Thu, 16 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-expand-list-of-supported-addons-in-android-firefox/ UPDATED ON: 2023-08-31 Not long ago i’ve already mentioned about privacy-hardened [Mull browser]. Very nice Android browser, but have one serious downside: limited amount of supported addons. Yes, i like desktop convenience on the go! To enable additional addons in mobile Firefox browser you’ll need to sideload custom addon collection tied to mozilla account. It’s astonishing fact how they like to implement overcomplicated stuff! To create your own collection you’ll need Firefox account, but i’ll not bother to spent time on such dumb efforts. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-bring-back-square-tabs-in-firefox/ Mon, 26 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-bring-back-square-tabs-in-firefox/ Tired of round shaped chrome-like tabs? These tweaks attempt to recreate the feel of Quantum with its squared tabs and menus, but in the Proton UI. As of FF91, the about:config option to disable proton has been deprecated, leaving CSS as the main way to revert the UI. Want to bring back minimalistic strict lines and make things more serious? [Firefox-Proton-Square] tweak will help ya. INSTALLATION PROCESS Enable userChrome.css support Go to about:config toolkit. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-speed-up-map-rendering-in-android-open-street-maps-application/ Sun, 11 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-speed-up-map-rendering-in-android-open-street-maps-application/ UPDATED ON: 2023-03-31 To speed up map rendering a bit turn on [OpenGL] acceleration in software settings. In version 4.3 new OpenGL renderer was transferred from hidden settings to generic ones. Now option can be found here: ≡ Settings ► OsmAnd settings ► Map rendering engine ► Version 2 (OpenGL) It looks like that as of version 4.3.12 all compatibility and performance issues were solved. So, i advice you to install 4. https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-get-rid-of-annoying-nik-collection-update-notification/ Thu, 28 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://teachedu.name/news/how-to-get-rid-of-annoying-nik-collection-update-notification/ [Nik Collection] is a great graphical effects plugin pack to work with your favorite raster editor [mine is [Affinity Photo] in case you are interested]. Everything is fine, except annoying update popup, which is opening right after every plugin initialization. Such stuff completely breaks workflow if you don’t want to update for some reason. And there is no way to turn it off from GUI using normal methods. However, you can shut update checks off from configuration file, which is located here:
