Laptop gets slower as it runs

Right after I reboot, the laptop works normally, but the more it runs, the more it slows down, and I have to reboot after every couple hours. It's almost as if there's a memory leak somewhere. This is what I have

Tool for manually labelling images

0

I have some blobs on a uniform background. I want a tool such that, when I click on an individual blob, it can detect its boundaries from the background, and paint it white. The blobs have distinct boundaries, and are brighter than the background. Then, once I am done with all the blobs, I want to click on the background, and paint it black, i.e. everything that hasn't been labeled as a blob should turn black.

What Ubuntu software would you recommend?

WiFi stopped working on Ubuntu 18.04 on HP envy x360

I had a few problems with my laptop earlier related to sudo not working, and then disk space issues. After solving that, the only problem remaining is WiFi not working, which was Ok before all that. I'm afraid I've done something to corrupt it inadvertently. Please help, I really need my computer working, and I had a ton of trouble with it recently. Thanks a lot in advance.

I know this information might not be enough to get concrete help, so please tell me what command you want me to run. I tried pressing F12, but it didn't help. When I open the WiFi window to connect to a network, the message I see is "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found Make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on"

I repeat, I did have WiFi until hours ago. It's frustrating because I don't have the right ethernet cable for my laptop, so it's offline and I can't do any real work because of that.

I try

lshw -C network
network DISABLED

In addition

iwconfig
lo  no wireless extensions.

If I try

rfkill list

How to open and read SQLite files

2

I am trying to recover something from Mozilla Firefox history, and grep returns lots of binary files, I think they come from sqlite content. How can I view them in human-readable form, as text? At the top of the file I see something like SQLite format 3

Grep to return entire file content

1

I want to search recursively for a certain word, say MyWord, but I want to print the entire contents of all files that contain MyWord. How do I do this?

It turns out that I particularly care about binary sqlite files, both grepping them, and reading the result as a text file, rather than binary.

Updating popcorn time app

0

I have this app for watching movies, but it does not show up in Ubuntu Software Center, nor can I uninstall it or update it. I cannot tell what version I have, because I cannot find it among the installed packages. I tried dpkg --get-selections | grep -i popcor and nothing shows up. Any help, please?

The reason I am trying to update it or reinstall it is that I always get 'Error loading data' on the home screen of the app.
