Penguinsoriginally known as King Penguins, is a sample picture included in Windows 7, licensed from Corbis. Its photographer is unknown, although it was credited to DLILLC on Corbis while on Getty Images it is credited to Fuse (likely the brand name of Corbis royalty free photos that were cross-licensed to Getty). It depicts three king penguins standing together in a circle.

I just noticed a "Linux" part in Windows 10 File Explorer.I say part because I'm not even sure how to call this, it's not a drive... it's at the same level as OneDrive, This PC, Network... then Linux (the logo is the Linux penguin). I does not contain anything visible (no windows hidden files). Properties for this item say "The properties for this item are not available."


I have not installed any kind of dual boot, and I don't see any unknown partition in disk management (or maybe ... there's a recovery partition that have no actions possible to it, only "Help", which I don't remember if it was created by Windows).


Edit: Now I remember that a few month ago, for a short-live .NET project, I was required to install something named WSL2... Because it was a requirement for Docker or something... I was in hurry and simply followed instructions.I think that I have uninstalled WSL2 since then though... I would be still be interested in how to remove this Linux things.


After searching some different info, I stumbled upon a screenshot of something setting window named "Turn Windows features on and off", I checked it again though I had already checked it... And found that "Windows Subsystem for Linux" was checked (different "checked", the checkbox was checked) ... thought I had already checked the other day an missed it. I uncheked the checkbox... I will know on next restart if this removed the penguin (can't restart right now).


The OP is welcome to create a self-answer and mark it accepted. They can then request deletion of this copy by flagging it for a Mod (custom reason). Or, if they prefer, they can simply accept this, or another, answer.


It's actually related to the WSL, which allows you to run Linux distros on Windows 10. It's a pretty cool feature that's been around since the Creators Update back in 2017. As for why it's there and what it's for, think of it as a virtualized environment for Linux, meaning you can run Linux apps and access its file system right from within Windows. You won't see any files or folders in the "Linux" section because it's just a shortcut to access the WSL distro you have installed. If you need more info on how to use WSL or want to learn about the different distros available, you can check out this site tuxcare.com. They've got all the goods on how to get the most out of WSL.


If i Join them it creates a new curve that is not pickable with the blendsrf command. What I want is for the 2 edges to become one joined edge without creating a new curve.

If I use the joinedge command it will not let me pick the edge segments. Why is that?


So i figured out how to do the surface blend without joining the edges. Here is my final result. However I could not figure out how to join the different parts of the penguin body. I tried to join them before rendering with failure. So I still do not understand basic join functions. Can anyone recommend specific reading, where to get further in depth understanding of join rules commandos etc?


In your example, the wing is up against the body surfaces, and has open edges there where it touches but, from the image, the body surface there does not have a corresponding hole there providing the needed open edges to join to.


Penguins inhabit one of the most secluded parts of the planet, yet human activity is threatening their existence. Warmer temperatures associated with climate change are melting the Antarctic ice faster than ever, eroding the grounds where penguins live, feed and breed, while commercial overfishing and incidents like oil spills are depleting their food supply.


Enter Gramener, a data science consulting company. Gramener specializes in solving organizational challenges by creating AI and machine learning-based models for large enterprises, and converting these insights into easily consumable data stories.


The penguin counting problem inspired the AI Labs team at Gramener, led by co-founder Ganes Kesari and lead data scientist Soumya Ranjan Mohanty, both of whom are passionate about using technology for societal good.


In partnership with Microsoft, they started attacking the problem from multiple aspects. But first, they had to train the model to identify what a penguin looks like from different angles and perspectives, before the model could even attempt to count them.


Thankfully for them, there was enough crowdsourced, labeled data from the Penguin Watch Project that gave them a jumpstart to train the model to identify a penguin. Once the model could identify penguins, the next challenge was to teach it count them accurately.


Working on Microsoft Azure platform, Mohanty and his colleagues used a Convolutional Neural Network model to come up with a solution that can identify and count penguins with a high degree of accuracy. The model can potentially help researchers speed up their studies around the status of penguin populations.


Another proof of concept revolved around camera traps that are used for biodiversity studies in forests. The camera traps take multiple images whenever they detect motion, which leads to a large number of photos that had to be scanned manually.


The team came up with a two-step solution that first weeds out unusable images and then uses a deep learning model to classify images that have an animal in them. This solution too was converted by the Microsoft team into what is now the Camera Trap API that AI for Earth grantees or anyone can freely use.


Anticipating the needs of grantees, Gramener and Microsoft have also worked on creating other APIs, like the Land Cover Mapping API that leverages machine learning to provide high-resolution land cover information. These APIs are now part of the public technical resources available for AI for Earth grantees or anyone to use, to accelerate their projects without having to build the base model themselves.


They worked with the Nisqually River Foundation in the United States, to help identify fish species in the river. The solution analyzes video footage from an underwater video camera that gets activated whenever any fish passes infrared sensors installed in a fish ladder at a dam, and identifies the presence of salmon. The solution, which utilizes Azure Data Science VMs, the Microsoft Visual Object Tagging Tool (VoTT), and the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK), has the potential to convert a task that used to take more than 100 hours by researchers to just 20 hours.


Today, there is poor awareness about the massive environmental challenges and threat to biodiversity. With the democratization of data and technology, there is new hope for researchers and social organizations who are strapped for resources.


Thousands of miles away in Kenya, the team worked with the researchers to help them distinguish elephants from other livestock from aerial photographs. This solution can potentially help conservation scientists quickly identify elephants.


Ever wanted cute little penguins walking along the tops of your windows? Ever wanted to send an army of cute little penguins to invade the screen of someone else on your network? Probably not, but why not try this program out anyway - it's free.


I am trying to run a java client program on Ubuntu through command line. This program connects to a server program written in C. My java program has GUI and many classes, so when I compile it, I get a bunch of MyClass$.class files. I type


to run and instead of getting the window I am expecting from the program, a penguin icon appears on the bar on the left hand side of screen like so. When I left click the icon, it offers the name of my program (Client Chat) and Quit. When I click Client Chat, nothing that I can see or am aware of happens. Have I done something wrong in compiling or running this program? How can I get my GUI screen to appear on the screen?


Whenever you see the emperor penguin, your first thought may always be that it looks majestic. You do have to admit that it does look majestic with its black and white colored body with yellow streaks on its body. The fact that it has a somewhat orange beak, the variety of colors of the Emperor Penguin just looks great. Since it will be hard to see an Emperor Penguin in first place since it can only be seen at different parts of the world, you can already have the emperor penguin as your desktop wallpaper. There is a very big chance that you will get to enjoy this a lot.


If you end up totally stuck. Whilst it does not seem natural, and as an experiment, I would try installing the Linux grub4dos since there is no EFI partition and if that did not work than a more up to date bootloader such as Grub2. They will recognise the Windows installation and add an entry into the menu. grub4dos is in any Linux Puppy or Fatdog menu and they will happily boot from a USB stick, etc.


Look into a tool named BootIce. It seems that the BCD info is corrupt. A live boot USB to a mini windows environment with bootice then you can point the correct drive to the boot information. Great tool. I use it all the time in work for this exact issue.


That begins to explain it. I know what I would do because for me, in my tool kit, is a USB loaded with Puppy Linux and I can use grub4dos to make a bootloader that searches all locations including the hard drive. Having got that, I can boot into Windows on the HD and reinstall the Windows bootloader or continue using grub4dos. That is about 5 mins work. Always useful to have devices such as that available.


I was also experiencing this issue where my Windows 10 Pro computer was not able to boot up properly and gave me the Inaccessible Boot Device error on startup. I found this other discussion on the Microsoft community forums that had a possible workaround for the error: Redirecting
