Tech question

Is there anyone here who runs The Sims 3 on a laptop and Windows 11 and an NVIDIA 3070 graphics card without graphics issues? I'm asking for this specific combination, because I have issues, and so did someone else with the same combination and I'm trying to figure out if this is a thing or we were both just unlucky and I could potentially just try the same laptop, just a new one and have it be done with.

really quick tech question!!

can i use a 3D printer PC for gaming? my dad died last year and i got his 3D printer + the computer connected to it and i'm wondering if i should just sell it and buy a newer console (since PCs are way out of budget) or if i could buy a monitor and have it properly run games

if you need more info on the PC its self, lmk and i'll try my best to figure out what it is (tho i don't think its very high-powered/high-end or anything since it was only used for 3D printing)

#he had a gaming pc but someone stole it which is definitely a story for another time #also holy shit its almost been a fucking year #good riddance honey (another story for another time) #boredbeestalk #pc #gaming #pc gaming #gaming questions #3d printing #3d printer #3d printing questions #3d printer questions #tech question

Help me, writing/design Tumblr!

Microsoft Word sucks, there has to be a better way.

Edit: Word has this feature. It's called Linked Text Boxes. It's still word with Word's jank though, Microsoft Publisher has it, but it seems like Adobe Indesign has it with a better user interface.

I have been doing a lot of document layout work for my degree lately, and Microsoft Word continues to be just horrible. As a famous post once said, nothing about it works. So my question is, there has to be a better way, right? If anyone knows about writing software, is there anything that does the thing I want? (I do the bulk of my writing in Google Docs but the layout tools aren't good enough for the kind of design I need to do.)

My dream word processor (This may be hard to describe):

I want to be able to define specific boxes where body text is allowed to be. When one fills up, it overflows into the next.

Instead of word where you have the body text in the background, and it moves out of the way from the images, I would like text boxes that contain the body text. Like you lay out your images and static text boxes on a page, then you can fill the rest out with dynamic text boxes that contain the body text. I am sure you could do something like this with text boxes in ms word, but you couldn't do the layout as you write the body.

In my dream word processor, you could define blocks as Body Text 1, Body Text 2, and so on. If you added more text into Body Text 1, anything that is pushed out automatically goes into body text 2. If you delete text, excess text comes back into body text 1. Just like how text moving to the next page works in MS Word and Google Drive. Body text can only go into defined boxes, but it is dynamic. I feel like this could prevent the problem in word where moving one image destroys the formatting for your entire document because the body text tries to move out of the way.

Am I making sense? I am not even sure what to google to find something like this, but it has to exist, right? Magazines exist with very clean and nice layouts, they must be using something like this, but Microsoft Word doesn't do it that I know of. If it can, please tell me!

Hi! I did a dub of Radioapple your comic. Is there a way I can share it with you? I've only shown it to friends who were telling me how to do it better.

I actually have no clue-

If you're comfortable with simply posting it to your own tumblr account and tagging me that's the only way I think it could work? If you don't want to do that, I'm not sure how else to do it.

If anyone knows please explain in the comments lol-

lovely tumblr friends, especially those with film photography experience, I have a question:

the more general question: if I were to develop film that was around 20 years old, that has been in the camera for probably about 18 of those years, what would the quality of the photos look like?

the more specific question: have any of y'all developed 35mm film from either of these two cameras? what do pictures from these specific cameras (or similar "jelly cameras") look like?

The one on the right still has film, from googling it is apparently 35mm, in it, both of these are probably around 18-20 years old. I didn't know there was film in the one on the right until today, and so the film that's in it has likely been the film that's been it for the entire time I have had it.

the stupid youtube anti-adblock pop-up showed up on my computer >:( does anyone know how to get rid of it???

i found a way to block it that worked pretty well but now there's a new one that blocks the video player after 2 videos (the actual blocking doesn't appear to work but it makes my screen funky T-T)

i tried just blocking the element (before the solution i ended up using) but it prevented me from scrolling and i figure this one does the same thing.

is there a way to un-funkify the youtube video player so i don't have to use video shortcuts to access things like fullscreen? (i use speed up/slow down when i want to watch a video that's a bit too slow for me but idk any shortcuts for it)

(this whole thing is stupid and if i had the computer knowledge i'd make my own video platform but i don't know at all how html works T-T)

who knows a secret trick to force firefox to let me open blog.tumblr.com/postid rather than redirecting to tumblr.com/blog/postid? It used to be I could make it happen by typing the latter in the address bar, but now it redirects no matter what I do

Ok, I understand that this is an absurd thing to ask, but I don't know enough to determine why this would be dumb:

I have read - anecdotally - that CRT monitors can have a resolution so high that the human eye wouldn't be able to perceive it. They can also have significantly less delay than an LCD monitor.

Other than space, what is the downside of CRTs? Other than that they aren't being made anymore.

If I'm misremembering something let me know.

I need some advice,

I don't have a computer of any kind, I just have my phone. I do all my artwork and writing in apps like .docs and medibang paint and picsart, but lately I've been struggling to use my phone because of nerve damage and pain in my hands. My grandfather has offered to buy me a tablet with a bigger screen, but I don't know much about tablets except that I do not want an iPad, and I need a fair amount of storage So I'd love some recommendations, if anyone has any.

tl:dr. I need recommendations for a tablet(not iPad please) that will run Medibang paint, Picsart, and Google docs fairly well, with pretty good storage.

part 2 of asking for tech help please

i still cannot load vides on any other site, whether it's tumblr or a website for movies or any site that isn't youtube it wouldn't load it just says "video playback error"

I use Firefox, this problem has existed ever since it updated (so around december), it's on laptop, i think it might be solely firefox cause other browsers like chrome work

ask any other questions for clarifications

Do you know how when you plug your iPhone into your car, it automatically starts playing? How do I change what it starts to play? Because otherwise, if Spotify was attached to my Apple Music library, “A Forgotten Spot“ from Lin-Manuel Miranda and others would be my number one song by FAR, only because it’s at the top of my alphabetized song library.

how to view blogs without themes

is there a browser extension or something that removes tumblr themes from the site entirely, so you can view other people’s blogs without them, not just your own? so many themes make it difficult to navigate people’s pages (such as renaming the archive button or removing the search bar) and it’s really annoying.

ok like how the fuck does anyone know how to connect a Samsung DVD-V2000 DVD VCR Combo 4 Head Hi-Fi to a VIZIO Tv because I’m struggling to figure out how! If anyone even has a link to a decently priced RCA to HDMI converter or adapter would help! Because this!

And this!
