That will be an interesting comparison. My guess is that the B580 will be the more powerful card, but due to less mature game support, may be slower in some titles. Right now, the B580 is a great budget option, but when it is the same price as the RTX 5050, I suspect many users will opt for the NVidia option if it is their choice. However, a lot of OEM systems are using the B580, so users who barely understand what a dGPU is, are probably going to be using the B580. -

Google Earth is now 20 years old, brings historical Street View imagery by Aditya Tiwari Google is no longer a young company, and many of its products have been in existence for over two decades. Its "not an April Fools joke" email service turned 21 earlier this year, and now, Google Earth is celebrating its 20th birthday. The search giant announced that Google Earth is getting historical Street View imagery to celebrate the milestone. "Now, you can access historical Street View imagery right from Google Earth — and if you use Google Earth in a professional capacity, you can easily access new datasets, like tree canopy coverage for cities, land temperatures and more," Google said in a blog post. Google Earth is well-known for offering many internet users an interactive bird's-eye view of the world at a time when mapping apps weren't as advanced. It was launched in June 2005 and features 3D buildings across major US cities, integrated local search, and 3D terrains showing mountains, valleys, and canyons around the world. Users could activate, tilt, and rotate 3D terrain for a different perspective of a location. It was an instant hit after launch, with over 100 million downloads in its first week. Just months later, Google worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to make updated imagery available to first responders battling Hurricane Katrina. However, the tech that powers Google Earth is a bit older than that. It was initially developed as Earth Viewer by Keyhole Inc., which Google acquired in 2004 and later rebranded. Now accessible via web browsers and mobile apps, Google Earth was initially available as free-to-download desktop software for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The company also offered Google Earth Pro for $399 per year, but it was later made available for free. Google Earth in 2005 Google Earth differs from Google Maps, which also debuted in 2005. While Google Earth is more focused on exploration and research, its sibling is inclined towards finding real-time information and navigation. Google Earth is known for the flying animation that appears when you go from one place to another. Not just the Earth's surface, you can also explore the ocean floor, the Moon, and Mars (via desktop app). The virtual globe app has been used to discover a rare type of coral reef off the west coast of Australia, often referred to as "the rainforest of the sea." The 2016 movie Lion told the story of a man who used Google Earth to reunite with his mother 25 years after he got separated from his family. Google Earth has seen several new features over the past two decades, including VR support, distance measuring support, the ability to create virtual tours, and Timelapse. In 2017, the 'new Google Earth' added the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button and a discovery-focused feature called Voyager. Another redesign introduced in 2023 allows professionals to evaluate building and solar design options. A feature introduced last year allows users to view historical aerial imagery of places dating back up to 80 years. -

You say that thinking you will be running Windows 10 IoT...you'll realize you will not be doing that once you install it for the first time and realize what it is (and more importantly, what it is not). -

couple of things to check: Try disabling Wi-Fi Power Saving or eco Mode in the TV’s settings Disable band steering or Smart Connect in your router’s 5 GHz settings and create separate SSIDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, then connect the TV to the 5 GHz SSID there might me interfere from neighbours wifi, try wifiman (android app) . scan to see if there are any overlaps and then adjust yours accordingly try disabling ipv6 on both

Question
BGM
Hi,
I have a batch file that runs each day and downloads about 20 .zip files from a network share to a server which then extracts them.. before continuing with other bits and bobs
the copying is carried out by ROBOCOPY, and the extraction done by 7zip
this was all working fine til yesterday when i realised my process was falling over every time. Turns out one of the .zip files was corrupt and when it tried to extract the batch file just bombs out
7zip has a file integrity check option but i cant for life of me figure out how to get the result of this check into something like an IF THEN ELSE execute the extract part
options i have considered:
1. only copy correct files with robocopy (cant work out how to check integrity, or even if its possible)
2. do a crc on the files - not really useful as i dont know what the results should be
3. use the 7zip t flag in some manner - 7z.exe t filename.zip and generate an ERRORLEVEL in the batch... bit lost on this one??????
5. batch file try-catch 'hack' - ok i was desperate at this point... :)
can anyone figure out a clever method of making this work? i will be eternally grateful because its starting to really **** me off... :p
perhaps i could run a check, output the successful results to a file and then only extract the filenames that are contained in that file??
thanks all
a frustrated chris :|
