They may have lost the file association. Try using "open with" in the context menu.

[AzyWng]

Attempting to use "Open With" with the Java(TM) SE Platform Binary simply results in the spinning circle thing (the icon that replaced the hourglass from older Windows versions) appearing for a few seconds before then disappearing. Also, checking the file associations reveals that Java(TM) SE Platform Binary is indeed being used as the default for .jar files.

I haven't actually tried restarting my computer, so I don't know if this is just a small hiccup or if file association actually has been lost (or if it's some other issue). I'll try restarting it later and if that doesn't help, I'll let you know.

blech.  Are you sure it is all JAR files, and not just some whinyines from the jar in question?

"No, I want to be run with -Xmsx1024, or I wont run at all! *raspberry!*" type shenanigans?

[AzyWng]

Haven't yet restarted, but tried out another .jar file - and it opened up just fine! I don't know what the matter with the other file is. Again, I will let you know what - if anything - happens when I restart.

when started without any argument for the memsize, the JVM will attempt to run the JAR file in a context with a memory ceiling of 256mb, if I recall correctly.

Many programs want more than this (because they are written in java, and it is fucking wasteful as shit with memory...) so you have to invoke java with the -Xms argument to specify how many megabytes of memory the VM has.  This is why I mentioned it.

eg,

java -Xms1024 -jar [some jar file.jar]

You would accomplish that with a shortcut.

Further laptop woes yaaay!

This time it's the graphics for whatever reason. My asus runs a GTX950M and before I've had zero issues with the damn thing. But ever since the last install, two out of two games that I've installed have shown issues. Namely, in fullscreen mode, the screen flashes black with a thick, glitchy line across the middle, in case of Grim Dawn, it's visible only in menus and for a bit, in case of DS3 it's always present and makes it unplayable. It looks like a sync issue but fiddling with that ingame hasn't produced any results, and so far, only switching to windowed mode seems to fix it. I have the latest drivers from the asus website since ones from nvidia refuse to install claiming that I don't have compatible hardware for it :V

Edit: Further experimentation shows that even in fullscreen mode, when I pick a different resolution it doesn't glitch anymore. So it only seems to be a problem at 1920x1080

Try an OLDER driver.

Many times, the newest driver pack has issues with older cards.

I’m on Windows 10 and...

I'm sorry to hear that. I feel like I should have purchased dozens of copies of Windows 7 to give out to people back when I bought my copy.

I mean, you could try to use Linux, but you could also try Scientology.

You're forgetting one thing.

In general everyday usage, windows 10 outshines linux by miles.

I appear to have accidentally deleted a file on my flash drive.
Is there an easy way to bring it back, and if that way is data recovery tools (which I know nothing about), which would you recommend?

And you get to warm your hands in front of it while it updates.

What are you counting as "general everyday usage", though? Office and web browsing? Because, yes, Windows is shinier and has more guard rails around things you don't want untrained users doing, but it can't run servers and is therefore useless for serious computation.

[scourge728]

Well servers aren't general everyday use afaik

[Trekkin]

Aren't they? You're indirectly using more than one right now.

[scourge728]

I meant, running a server isn't something the majority of users do
