What's the best way to convert a PDF to Word?
The layout doesn't have to match, but the tables have to look similar, and the text has to be continuous (no hard line breaks everywhere).
PDF converter programmes are shit.

I once started writing a pdf-to-doc converter that simply dumped png pages and embedded them in a .docx
It was for a resume site that required .doc
I stopped after i realized i wouldn't want to work for cunts like that anyways
>>
>>58634541
There's no need to convert you can literally just insert the PDF into a word document.
Insert > Object > PDF file > Pick the PDF you want > Adjust as necessary.

Word can do it directly lately because it's not a knock-off on linux intended only for autistic people.

/g/ - Technology
I've been out of the loop on everything for a decade and I have an unlimited budget. Also I have a depression or something so it's very difficult to find anything fun or entertaining. Have to get drunk to watch a movie or listen to music.
Other than drones, what has happened lately that might be amusing to get into?

What sort of shitty browser doesn't let you set a minimum tab size?

Yep, that is why I have Firefox, Chrome, Opera Edge, Vivaldi and W3m. All with tab control add-ons and mutiple windows of each program. I can have ~700 tabs open and still panel to half a screen veiwing space in just 4 key stikes with my setup.

I honestly feel bad for people who are still on Windows 10.
Non-meme distros such as Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora have improved greatly over the years. They are all worthy successors to Windows 7.1
Why are you still on Windows? Do you enjoy clicking on 5000 pop-up messages each day

Why do bytes still matter when most computers are 64 bit? Shouldn't data be measured in bits instead? And what even is the purpose of binary prefixes?

Things are rarely measured in bits. Most architectures have the byte (8 bit) as their smallest unit of work.
Talking of everything in bits wouldn't change much, it would just be factors of 8 and harder to conceptualize and talk about.
>when most computers are 64 bit
What does that have to do with anything?
>And what even is the purpose of binary prefixes
Again, it's handy. Allows you to talk about the big numbers more easily.

what does 64 and 32 bit mean? im confused since theres only 8 bits in a byte

Hardware should come in flat brown boxes,
with a white label that only states hard technical facts.
Not only is this cheaper and friendly to the environment,
it also reduces visual sewage in the sanctity of your home.

Yes
Most packaging is an eyesore and wastes subconscious brain processing and storage capacity with useless marketing drivel and strong imagery that is irrelevant to the product.

Excel is really simple after a few hours of usage. it's also one of those programs where you can google virtually any problem and have a pretty good guarantee of finding the solution.

Don't get me wrong, let me explain. I'm from a poor country and reading about how robots and AI will probably let billions of people unemployed around the world in the future I'm feeling guilty about piracy and adblocking because it's like I'm just taking advantage of people (producers, workers, etc) and accelerating the process.
Despite the fact that Trump would probably not like me because of my origin, I appreciate how he want to make people have dignity in his country.
So I found this work:
http://blockadblock.com/adblocking/is-adblock-plus-violating-the-dmca/
They claim that it can apply because Ad blocks can circumvent access controls, which is a violation, for example.
What's your views, /g/? There are anything new about this discussion and how you deal with on a daily basis?

> 2018: It is now illegal to turn off television during an advertisement
It is pretty obvious, that a vendor, who wrote an adblocker blocker will be mad about people blocking their product.
The abp site is right though. By default, the list is empty. You are a horrible person, if you use blocklists with their extension. It is just a simple http element blocker, not specifically designed to block ads.

>>58634400
50% of the cable subscribers in the US use Netflix instead of regular TV. By 2018 there may be no ads at all on TV.

Thats rather impressive considering Samsung is making them. They must have pretty high perf/watt for the Koreans to buy out the full supply. I wonder how their Exynos chips will fare in comparison, that may be a driving factor in the decision.

Hey guys, so I got a new notebook a few days ago, so far so good. It's Windows 10. I know it's bad. Thing is,
even without google chrome this shit is running at least 45% of my RAM by itself. I only have my browser on, and rainmeter, nothing else - is it normal, 45% of my ram? (I have 8gb)
Is there a way to lower it down a bit?
