How can i disable the visual volume overlay which appears at the top left on windows 10? It is very annoying if I change the volume then I have to wait 3-4 seconds till it dissapears, and I can't click anything which lays behind it during this time.  Is there a registry entry or something which I can set to false?
When adjusting the volume in Windows 8.1, a box appears at the top left corner of the screen. This box sticks around for ~13 seconds before it fades away. If you attempt to dismiss it by click on it, it switches to the music app.  How do you disable or dismiss this annoying box? At the very least, can the time visible be adjusted? More times than not, it's in the way.

Which is the best workflow to follow when texturing and importing textures from Substance Painter? So, I'm planning to texture a model using Substance Painter and will render it using the Cycles Render Engine. I will be also using the Principle Shader, heavily, to achieve realistic renders. So, which workflow in Substance Painter so that the textures are accurately rendered in Blender? Specular-Glossy? Or should I go with Metalic-Roughness?

Recently, I accidentally deleted a partition off of my external hard disk. I had a copy of Minitool Power Data Recovery left over when the same drive had become RAW about a year ago. When I selected lost partition recovery, it immediately identified my deleted partition and allowed me to access and recover the files that were there.  My question is this. Is there any way to change the deleted partition back to NTFS without having to have a drive that you need to recover the files to and then move them back after formatting, as I don’t have any space left on either the computer or on my other external hard drive, so that I don’t need to buy a new one. The files on the disk were really important.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.  I appreciate any help in solving this crisis. Is there a software utility to adjust screen gamma/brightness/contrast? I use to work at night and it is eye-hurting to watch at lightbulb-bright screens (I've got two - laptop's built-in panel and an external 18-inch CRT) in a dark environment. So I adjust my screens to be darker.  Can I do this a software way instead of pressing monitors' buttons that many times every time?

Half exact functor which is neither right exact nor left exact I've found in Wikipedia the formula for calculating an individual row in Pascal's Triangle: $$v_c = v_{c-1}\left(\frac{r-c}{c}\right).$$ where $r = \mathrm{row}+1$, $c$ is the column starting from $0$ on left and $v_0 = 1$.

I have run a multiple linear regression using stepwise regression to select the best model, however the best model returned has a non-significant variable. When I remove this the AIC value goes up indicating the model without the significant variable is a worse fit.

I'm somewhat disorganized in my file saving habits, so I wind up using the Search function in Windows Explorer more often than one should.
