Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

The two ways to lock a preference are:

(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies

This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson

(2) Autoconfig

This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557

This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.

The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.

That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.

Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.

Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one

From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3

3. Copy Command on Windows

Platform: Windows

Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:

copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3

The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.

If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.

Pros

No need to install a software

The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality

Cons

Not possible to edit the files

No way to change the format of the output file

Cumbersome to use.

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC

VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)

Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.

You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.

Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts

Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.

Or, use the hotkey combination

Win+R to open Run >

type cmd in the box >

hit Enter

Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.

Run Command Prompt

[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt

Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.

Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location

Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:

"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}

Sidenotes:

1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.

2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.

3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

How do I switch between ink tank and cartridge on HP Ink 410 series ?

I want to disable the use of the ink cartridges completely.

Is there any articles or videos on how the HP ink cartridge works when there is tank?  I wanted to buy a printer WITHOUT a ink cartridge.  I did not realize there are  two expensive to replace  ink cartridges inside.
