VerMishelb's stash

Заметки

This is a collection of tips, tricks and other PC-related stuff that I have collected over the years of using Windows versions 7 through 11. Some of it used to be in a text file I had on my local drive but this drive is long gone. This time I am storing this online so it doesn't disappear into the void.

Компьютер не может уснуть, просыпается на ровном месте

Go to your power management settings, the ones from Windows Vista (use Win-R and type "control" to bring up the old control panel) and modify your active power plan to disable "wake-up on event timers" or some option of that kind. Optionally, you can turn off "Wake-on-LAN" and "Wake on magic packet" to prevent the wake-ups from the network adapter. Do this through the adapter options in the device manager.

Сброс кэша иконок

Есть два типа кэша — IconCache и ThumbCache. Первый для обычных иконок, вроде приложений и папок. Второй для предпросмотра видео и изображений. Обычно ломается первый. Поместите следующий код в .bat файл и выполните от имени администратора.

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
cd /d %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
rem This command removes (-) the "Hidden" attribute (h) of the file.
attrib -h iconcache_*.db
del /f IconCache*
rem Remove "rem" from the following if you want to reset image previews as well.
rem del /f ThumbCache*
cd /d %localappdata%
attrib -h IconCache.db
del /f IconCache.db
start explorer.exe

Поддержка JPEG-XL на Windows 10

Используйте вот эту крутую штуку. Инструкция довольно простая, но, на случай, если она пропадёт, просто вызовите regsvr32 с тамошней .dll от имени администратора.

Скрипт для обновления Discord в Debian

Arch has automatic Discord updates but Debian doesn't, for some reason. Therefore I use this small script to update it every time this annoying "Download .deb" screen pops up. Stackoverflow says it's a bad way of doing this but it also never says why, so until this is disclosed I guess we're fine. You can't run this script by double-clicking it, but you can run it from the terminal just fine.

#! /usr/bin/bash
discord_url="https://discord.com/api/download/stable?platform=linux&format=deb"
curl -L -o /tmp/discord.deb $discord_url
sudo apt install /tmp/discord.deb
