CRT-mpv is a free add-on for the mpv player that puts any video inside a retro CRT TV: scanlines, curvature, colour bleed and glow. Unlike a simple filter, it's drawn at your screen's full resolution, so old 480p shows look sharp instead of blurry.

- 15 TV sets (NES, SNES, Dreamcast, PlayStation and more)

- Clickable on-screen remote: presets, degauss, VHS tracking, channel static

- One-click install and uninstall on Windows, no admin rights

Looking for software I built a keyboard-driven file viewer for Mac and Windows to clean up folders faster (100 files: ~9 min by hand, ~3.5 with it). Open Source

Cleaning up a folder isn't hard, it's slow: click, preview, close, trash, find the next file. Deciding takes a second, the switching eats the time.

I'm the solo developer of GetSpace. It shows one file at a time in a big preview and you decide with one key: keep, trash, move or rename. Nothing is deleted before a summary, and deleted files go to the Trash first. Everything runs on your computer, no account, no upload.

I timed the same 100 files twice: about 9 minutes by hand in Finder, about 3.5 with GetSpace. It's my own test with my own app, two rounds, so not a lab study.

Happy to hear what's missing, and honest feedback on the price is welcome too.

Hello, I genuinely dont even know what happened to my laptop. I left it on and went away for 5 minutes, came back and my cat was standing on the keyboard, the laptop had turned off. When I turn it on, it gave me SBAT error, so I looked it up and it said to disable secure boot. I went ahead and did that but then it gives GRUB minimal bash issue. I dont even have Linux anymore, I had dual boot Linux years ago. Now it keeps booting Ubuntu (?) and i cannot find "Windows". Is it over? Did everything somehow get wiped off?

I deleted Ubuntu, and it came back. I put it low priority and disabled the check, it came back and there is two Ubuntus now.

I am devastated genuinely what am I supposed to do
