Is it possible to change the Wikipedia keyboard shortcuts?[edit]

Wikipedia:Keyboard shortcuts lists a bunch of keyboard shortcuts, several of which I use all the time. I want to use alt+e (to open the source editor) but this just opens a menu on Google Chrome for me. I had a look and it doesn't seem to be possible to stop the menu from opening, so to me, it looks like I would have to change the Wikipedia keyboard shortcut, but I am not sure how, if it is possible. —Panamitsu (talk) 02:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Panamitsu I didn't find anything like this, but I did find a similar user script that lets you jump to pages using keyboard shortcuts. It's here. Note: I am not liable for the content of user-created scripts. You install this script at your own risk. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 03:18, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is also the reverse option of changing the shortcut Chrome uses. Though this will change it "globally" inside the browser. A Web search for "can you change shortcuts in chrome" appears to give plenty of useful guidance. Door number 3: You could have a WP:Userscript set all the shortcuts on WP to your liking, and even add more. This shouldn't be super complicated; if you want let me know and I might give it a stab myself. --Slowking Man (talk) 21:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Slowking Man How would I take this approach instead? Superjump seems convoluted on second thought. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 15:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheTechie: If you mean, the third option...actually if all you want is to just change that one accesskey for the editor, the quick-and-dirty way is to pick an unused key, and use some JavaScript to pull the HTML element with the id "ca-edit" and change the "accesskey" attribute in the "Edit" link inside that element. Like I said quick and dirty. You could also look and see if someone has written a Chrome browser extension that lets you add key shortcuts.
Yet another option: you could install something like AutoHotKey, which will then let you set custom shortcuts on your system to do all kinds of things. But then you have to write the script for AutoHotKey to use. Yeah unfortunately this is a fiddly little problem to solve because it involves not simply adding a thing, but reconfiguring/overriding already-configured behavior from both your browser and Wikipedia, and, to do a thing like open the editor, you have to tell your browser to follow a certain specific link on the Wikipedia page you're looking at (namely the "Edit" link). The neat thing about computers is you can set them up to do anything they're told to do. The frustrating thing about computers is, you can set them up to do anything... 😆 The quickest way in terms of time will be to just change that key shortcut in Chrome to something else; then the "edit" accesskey should work. --Slowking Man (talk) 06:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Slowking Man No, I meant writing the user script for the keyboard shortcut changing. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 14:15, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheTechie: Starting point: MediaWiki:Gadget-removeAccessKeys.js. Take that and you can hack it up to, instead of deleting the accesskeys, change them to your desired ones. If you wish, you can crib some code from Superfetch to enable storing the key settings in a separate config file rather than hardcoded. (And if you spend effort on it, then publicize your script so others can benefit! And for bragging rights!) --Slowking Man (talk) 22:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to restore notes on Samsung S4? (no cloud)[edit]

I hope to restore a "note" on a Samsung S4. The file has been inaccessible since the phone crashed while trying to save the file. (The battery was at 4%. It's been the second time the phone crashed when the battery was low.) So, yes, the file is visible on the phone even though the icon for the file shows a blank page instead of the usual "note" icon. The phone was not connected to any cloud, neither is it using any backup to my knowledge.

The language on the S4 is not English, but I hope to get enough information here to be able to apply it to the phone. Thanks for any hint where to start looking. Ibn Battuta (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Web search "how to backup android phone to pc". What you will be doing is connecting the phone to a "personal computer" via USB cable; follow the instructions for how to do that. This then gives you access to the phone's file system. The file is in there somewhere. Note: it's completely possible that the file is irretrievably corrupted and you can't recover it. This is what can happen when the metaphorical power cord is yanked while a computer device is in the middle of writing data to storage. This is one reason to not let a device battery get that low, another being that lithium-ion batteries really hate getting down to low charge and this can actually damage them and shorten their lifespan.
Also the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been out-of-support for years. Unless you've replaced the operating system with a custom up-to-date Android install, it is a very bad idea to use this device other than in "airplane mode", no connections to the Internet or cellular or anything. The ancient Android version that will be on there is wide-open with all kinds of long-discovered security holes and you are a sitting duck for drive-by malware infections. (Maybe you even have malware on it already. Maybe malware on your device had something to do with it locking up at low charge!) --Slowking Man (talk) 22:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why Windows 8 no start button[edit]

No start screen move right screen on corner it's hard to use Windows 7 users skip Windows 8 and upgrade Windows 8.1 because hard use

In Windows 7, Microsoft's consumer experience improvement program stated that users were using the start button less, preferring the new taskbar instead. Feeling that the taskbar had more functionality, they opted to drop the start button in Windows 8 with tutorials demonstrating use of the taskbar. Shortly afterward, they made the start button optional and, later, put it back in the corner of the screen for users who still want to use it. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 11:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A large question that I’ve been thinking of for a while.[edit]

Hello. This is a question that I’ve been thinking of for a while. Why do Google Maps satellite images of cities in Asia (such as India) and Africa (such as Nigeria and Egypt) have buildings that appear to be bizarrely looking flat when I zoom in? What satellite company is to blame? Why was that? What do the areas of such images that have bizarrely flat buildings cover, and when was the first time that happened? I’ve seen that in many African and Asian satellite pictures when I zoom in Google Maps. In European countries (the UK), Australia, and the United States and Canada have buildings that are perfectly fine. While in many parts of the world, the buildings in their cities are bizarrely flat when I zoom in for a close up in Google Maps. What satellite companies are to blame for this? Why does this happen? When did this first happen? Have you ever found this in Google Maps? I’ll check back in a day or two and any answers are highly appreciated. Thank you. —2.103.231.248 (talk) 11:29, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When viewing satellite images on Google Maps, the source of the images is shown at the bottom of the map. For example, I zoomed onto Korhogo and the bottom of the screen states "Imagery (C)2024 Airbus Imagery (C) Airbus, CNES / Airbus, Maxar Technologies, MAP data (C)2024." That means that the images come from Airbus imagery. It doesn't come from Google. If you don't like the images or want to blame someone for bad images, Google is making it obvious who the images come from. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 11:43, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I zoomed onto São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and the buildings are weirdly flat for no reason. Also I zoomed into Benghazi and Tripoli and the buildings appear what I call “poor quality images” with the buildings flat, even their roofs are flat.

Do you maybe mean the 3D-version of buildings that have been modelled for large parts of Europe? because with a quick look between Mumbai and Birmingham, the resolution of the photos are very similar. Tripoli is also of comparable resolution.Rmvandijk (talk) 11:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. When you go into 3D, the buildings are still flat. Where do such companies that imaged them launched their satellites from and what are the satellites’ names? What companies were to blame for this? Where are the companies from Where are these satellites that made the images launched and when?2.103.231.248 (talk) 12:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But where do the companies which made these flat building images launch their imaging satellites from? 2.103.231.248 (talk) 17:20, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I typed into Google "Who launched Airbus imaging satellites" and it responded:
Airbus has launched many Earth observation satellites, including:
THEOS-2
Launched in 2023 on a Vega rocket from Kourou, Europe's spaceport in French Guiana, this satellite provides 50cm imagery to Thailand
THEOS-1
Launched in 2008, this satellite continues to provide imagery beyond its 10-year operational lifetime
MetOp-SG
Built by Airbus in Friedrichshafen and Toulouse for the European Space Agency (ESA) and EUMETSAT, these satellites provide more accurate data for climate monitoring and numerical models used in forecasting
HOTBIRD 13G
Launched by the Airbus BelugaST (A300-600ST) to Eutelsat at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida
Pléiades Neo
Two identical satellites with 30cm resolution that provide insights for institutional and commercial customers for the next 12 years
Aeolus
A wind sensing satellite built in Stevenage for the European Space Agency (ESA)
That is just one imaging satellite company. There are many others. You need to look at the bottom of the map when you want to know which company provided the image you are looking at. But, in the end, who launched the satellite is not important. If it was laucnhed from the U.S. or Europe or India, the satellite itself doesn't change. It still takes the same images. It appears that all of this is based on a complete misunderstanding that the satellite image does not have 3-D data to produce 3-D building images. It is a flat image. Google employs people and computer programs to add a 3-D effect to the flat images in specific locations - not everywhere. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 17:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you see buildings that are weirdly flat? Can you give a URL? My screen is flat, and so are all images displayed on it, but for very many roofs in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro it is obvious from the Airbus/Maxar images that they are not flat roofs. Some other roofs look curved, and indeed some look flat – presumably because they are flat. It would be weird if these did not look flat.

When you look at a place in Google Maps, you are not zooming in and out of a single extremely-high definition satellite image. You are swapping between a variety of images taken by various satellites, aircraft and (I presume) drones from various altitudes and angles – it's only the sophisticated software that makes it all seem seamless.
The lower-altitude images taken by aircraft and drones are not infinite in number because of cost. They form a mosaic with images of buildings at the edge of each 'tile' being seen obliquely. The software cannot always convert these to perfect 3-D simulations, so sometimes, particularly in less-finely photographed areas, images appear distorted.
If perfect fidelity was required in every place on Earth, Google Maps would cost much more to create and maintain, and you would have to pay for it instead of accessing it essentially for free. 151.227.145.123 (talk) 14:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Screencast editing - removing "aahs" and "uhhhms" and other pauses from a single clip[edit]

I'm looking for a specific kind of video editing editing software, that can be used to remove a lot of unwanted pauses (hundreds) in a single video clip - something similar to Audacity but for video. A program called Activepresenter seems to do this the best, but unfortunately it records only in 20 fps (OBS Studio records in 60fps on my computer) and is very buggy. Most video editing software seems to use quite a convoluted way of removing small parts of a video clip, like setting cursors and splitting clips in multiple parts. What I'm looking for is just simply mark a small part of the single clip I recorded with the mouse and press delete (as in Audacity when you want to cut a part of your sound) - as quickly as possible. What would you recommend? 83.252.182.138 (talk) 22:29, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DaVinci Resolve is probably the best free video editing software you can get. It's very powerful and easy to use.

April 10[edit]

Finding Spotify Account[edit]

I had an individual account with Spotify, and had created two playlists, and could use them when I was driving. There was no problem for a few years. Then I lost the mobile device, and have bought a new mobile device, which is a Samsung Galaxy A15 5G. I have installed the free version of Spotify. It offers to upgrade to an individual premium account, but I already have an individual premium account, that I am being billed $11.65 a month for. If I log on to Spotify on my desktop computer, it shows my playlists. What I want to do is to log in to my existing account from a new device, and find my playlists. I don't want to set up an individual premium account on the new device for two reasons. First, I would probably then pay $23.30 a month. Second, I wouldn't have the existing playlist, but would have to create it again. Yes, I can see it on my desktop computer and can copy everything from it on my new mobile device, but that would be stupidly duplicative. Does anyone know how I can log on to my existing Spotify account, that I am already being billed for?

I see an 877 phone number on the line on my Visa bill for the recurring charge. Should I call the 877 number for assistance? Is there some other way to log on to my existing account and access my playlist? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robert McClenon Do you know your username? thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 15:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You should probably sign out of your new account, and sign into your old account. Let me know if I am misunderstanding. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 15:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, User:TheTechie. I think that you understand. The problem is that I click on the icon for Spotify and get into a Spotify screen that doesn't seem to have a Login or Logout. It wants me to upgrade to a premium account. I don't want a new premium account. You are correct that I want to log in to my existing premium account. Should I uninstall Spotify from my mobile device and start over? I don't see a way to Login or Logout. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Robert McClenon Here's how I sign out on iOS (this may work on Android):
  1. I click "home" on the bottom left.
  2. I click my profile picture on the top left.
  3. I click "Settings and Privacy" on the left.
  4. I scroll down.
  5. I click "Log out".
I would not recommend uninstalling in this case, as sometimes if you reinstall, it'll sign you back in (in my testing).
Best, thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 17:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, User:TheTechie. There wasn't a profile picture at the top left, but there was a circle with a letter R in it. Clicking on it allowed me to scroll down to Settings and Privacy, and then to log out. Then I had to set up Facebook on the new mobile device by entering my Facebook password. Then I was able to log into Spotify as Continue with Facebook, and it now shows my playlist. So thank you. The problem is that Login and Logout are in an out-of-the-way place. That worked.

Interesting...you'd think credit card companies would do a better job in maintaining their services.
If you have a phone with another carrier, try calling it if you can. If it doesn't work then, well, blame Visa I guess? thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 17:07, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When I get the next monthly bill from the Visa card issuing bank, I will send them a letter stating that the 877 number doesn't work. I don't have a basis to contest the charge, since I am now getting the service that I wanted, but I will ask them to follow up with Spotify about the bad phone number.

Firefox bookmarks sidebar[edit]

After Firefox on my Fedora Linux system updated to Firefox 120.0.1, the "bookmarks sidebar" button suddenly changed to "sidebars". When I click it I get a sidebar with multiple options, such as "history" and "bookmarks". This is otherwise all OK, but it always opens with "history" as the default. How can I make it open with "bookmarks" as the default? JIP | Talk 17:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Web Applications[edit]

I want to categorize types of Web Applications based upon what framework and architecture might be best suited for making a type of site as effective as possible.

By effective, I mean nondeveloper content creation, SEO, community experience, rapid development, load time, responsiveness, ease of deployment, etc.

So far I have a loose list:

brochure - such as https://valleyendodontic.com/ notice, no sign in… no portal

subscription - medium.com, NetFlix, etc notice “subscribe to read more” prompts or sign up to watch whatever you want

store - chewy.com where you can do almost everything as a guest but can also sign in for user specific resources

community - facebook, etc where experience is distinctly different and more diverse for a member compared to a guest

community generated content - wikipedia, the community is mostly focused on creating content for guest visitors

portal - has user tracking but not much interacting and members are generally siloed to their own data

Anybody got any other suggestions for something I might have missed? Usulix (talk) 23:33, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This does not appear an easy exercise, both because the diversity is large and because many web apps combine a mix of functionalities. The distinction between web apps and web sites is nebulous. Although in practice there is a correlation, from a logical viewpoint there is in most cases no necessary connection between the functionalities offered and possibly attendant requirements for accessing these, such as having subscribed or registered.
Here are a few types to consider:
  • In what category should we place news apps (some of which require paying, others merely registration, while yet others are freely accessible)?
  • I also don't know where Q&A sits, categorywise. In some case this is a side function (like Wikipedia's Reference desk), in other cases (Quora, Stack Exchange) it is the core function.
  • Then there is groupware, ideally an integrated collection of online tools for managing collaborative projects. They can be designed with "group" as the central concept, where a group (e.g. a corporation) can have many projects, or with "project" as the central concept. In a sense, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc., are instances of the latter; it is not uncommon to speak of Wikipedia as a project. In the Wikimedia examples the generated content is also meant to be consumed by users, but this is not in general the case for online collaborative projects – more often than not they are inaccessible to outsiders.
  • What about educationware, apps through which users can follow courses, do exercises, etc.? How does that fit?
I suspect that there are many more types.  --Lambiam 22:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many people believe ai will not to be "default humanlike" at the future, if we limit it to be "aspergers humanlike" does this increase the odds?

Lets imagine we dont care about the AI being the default human and being an human with aspergers is enough, would this increase your likehook of archieving this ok, is there some people, research and etc.. that believe that this kind of AI is 100% possible at the future but not "default" humanlike ai?179.134.97.227 (talk) 23:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from the fact that we are not supposed to speculate here, the terms are ill-defined. Many experts believe that pretty soon an AI can be trained to give responses that are indistinguishable from responses given by typical flesh-and-blood humans, not necessarily "on the spectrum". It is known that highly-intelligent sociopaths can fool others by successfully emulating empathy, so behaviour is something that can be learned.  --Lambiam 07:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I really hate to be that guy, but this question as phrased is really gross. Is it possible for you to clarify what you mean in any sense that doesn't sum up to "people on the spectrum are less fully human than the general population"? Remsense 07:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The questioner does not appear to be a native English speaker. I think that by "default" they mean "typical" in the sense of "run-of-the-mill", so then their assumption is that autistic persons are less typical than the typical human being.  --Lambiam 07:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about intelligent doglike which I think is the most likely outcome? Anyway what does saying more intelligent octopuslike or dolphinlike or parrotlike convey? NadVolum (talk) 08:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, there is no "AI" as a specific thing. It is a very wide umbrella term for many different things that have nothing to do with one another. But, suppose I know what type of AI that I want. Further, I want that AI to only respond with the names of fruits. What is the weather like? Orange. What is 2+2? Apple. Which country has the most people? Pear. I can do that. I use a training set in which all responses are fruit and the AI is trained to respond that way. It is no different than training it to repond in any other way. AI is not intelligent. It doesn't think. It simply responds how it is trained to respond. 75.136.148.8 (talk) 14:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
