Have a nice day.
Is x265/H.265/HEVC good, or not? I only really care about the quality of the picture, not worried about filesize. My new laptop supports 265 hardware decoding in MPV so I'm considering getting 265 instead of 264 for any future movies I rip/download.

I thought that required savant-level intelligence or dedication in order to get working. The way I heard it described was "By the time it works you won't want to play games anymore."
Why should I use XySubFilter?
Also I can't find the difference between these two pictures; one is with madVR default settings in MPC-HC, and one is using Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter) which is the default setting in MPC-BE.
Also why tf does MPC-HC not save screenshots at the video resolution (1920x1036)?
pic related is mpc-hc madvr default
I found a Samsung Galaxy S4 laying around yesterday. Is there any way to unlock an Android phone?
inb4 jamal, tyreese, shaniqua, and tyrone
yes there is a way to unlock it, no you can't DIY
take it to the phone store and tell them to unlock it
give it back Ladrayshon
>be a journalist for 39 years
>get paid $55k
why did you choose a STEM field instead of the more "noble" humanities?

Jobs are like real estate. They are worth what the market will pay for them. They aren't worth what you think the effort should be worth, or worth how much society should value it according to whichever bent of idealism you beleive in.
That's the nice way of saying, journalism doesn't pay well because the market is flooded: not just people with journalism degrees can write. Anyone who's graduated university, and probably half the people who graduate high school are just as qualified as someone with a journalism degree.

>>be a journalist for 39 years
So you're like, 60 years old?
What message exactly are they trying to convey here?
These people picked low-paying professions to specialize in. Do they think everybody should get paid $150k a year for their job or something?
>Senior Theater Critic
>$27,600 (PT)
>Part fucking time
Is that bubbling crock of shit trying to complain about getting paid $26.50 a fucking hour?
Why were so many electronics grey/beige in the 70-90s and why are they not anymore?
Because you need red gaymer LEDs that make your CPU processor machine(monitor) go 3 times fasters
because it was cheap
fact: they were actually white as snow when they were made, but the material they were made of blackens quite noticeably over time
The only Microsoft product I use on my Windows machine is Visual Studio, and I'm not developing for Windows when I use it. I also use Microsoft Word sometimes, just because it has template documents, otherwise I stick to LibreOffice or Google Docs on Ubuntu.
Windows Mobile is dead as a doorknob. Windows server has no presence outside of enterprise. What reason do consumers have to use Windows?

Gayming, at least until someone discovers a way to efficiently run DX12 libraries on GNU/Linux.
To be honest, I haven't tried gaming on Linux yet, but most of the games I own on Steam claim they have a GNU/Linux port (like Terraria for example), but I haven't tested them yet.
That, and the fact that most people still think that GNU/Linux is 99% three screens of words in a CLI/Terminal just to install, say, Google Chrome. They still think it's not user-friendly while (in most cases) it's really the opposite. If it isn't that, then maybe it's the comfort of just running a .exe file to get everything working (including viruses, as well).
Hell, some even claim that programming is more productive and less time-consuming in ANY distro.
>>60555174
In the real world, nobody uses the Office-wannabes because they can't render Word docs right, which is what most of the world uses.
True on Windows server, but let's not pretend that the enterprise market is a small thing or that most Linux server users would use a paid product.
>>60555336
First someone has to find a way to run DX12 in windows, it's dead in the water.
How do I edit a video to have faster playback speed? Like a free video editor that can do this? Thanks

>>60554973
I did search. I can't find any good results. Only programs that claim to be free but then want you to buy them when you try to export the video. What's a real actually free good video editor?

Post the best youtube channels for learning any specific programming language.
For learning python link related is hands down the best.

I am just now installing python, working on code academy to understan python. I feel like an idiot trying to type all of this code into my computer. Is it normal to feel overwhelmed when learning python?
I plan to enroll into school at a community college for programming. I want to get a early start on it due to having adhd and learning difficulties.
I understand that I may be unintelligent in the fact that I dont know what I am doing right now but does anyone have any advice, my main plan or goal right now is to make a calendar or Text based adventure game.
All I am doing right now is reading the book Learn python the hard way.
>>60554895
Watch every video of the linked video playlist, after you're done you'll have a good foundation and can then learn the more complex stuff.
It takes time to learn and it's hard, it's been 5 months since i made it a goal to try to learn to program and i only really made programming a routine for a single month.
The most challenging part of programming is not giving up because a particular topic makes you feel discouraged.
Here we discuss/rate for how much to buy/sell
old electronics.
I'm upgrading my computer and monitor
so I will be
>selling
>8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 1333 - 45$
>gtx 560 - 45$
> G247HYL 24 1920x1080 [with 2 years warranty] 100$
I will buy new and unused.
>16GB dd3 1600 mhz 100$
>LG 68 29 inch uwide monitor 200$
>Rx 580 nitro+ 250$
I sell the ram because I believe it is better to use 4 sticks of same ram than mixing.
Rest is self-explanatory.
Do I ask too much money for my old stuff?
>>60554446
How much for a gigabyte of PATA HDD, assuming the disk seems in good condition (SMART, surface scan etc.)?
>>60555113
20$
It is not gonna be easy to find buyer at all.
HDD is quite cheap thing and PATA is outdated connecting type.
>>60554446
>>8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 1333 - 45$
I can't even push 2x4G 2133 kits @ $40. good luck.
>>16GB dd3 1600 mhz 100$
Are you [le]terally retarded?
>>60555113
Nobody has use for PATA HDDs besides businesses too stupid to hire someone to move their drives to a CompactFlash-based IDE adapter. Either save it for 20 more years and sell it to an antique collector or put it into recycle.
Are we still anonymous? Does it still hold even under the rule of hiro? The japs warned us that he would sell us all out for money and I have seen many images linking the mods we have to ad company and think tanks. How do we know we are not being mined for data?
>>60554221
No, we're not. We weren't under moot either near the end of his ownership, and he was smart to leave once they stopped asking him to sell us out and started telling.
Do you really care, honestly? We lost the privacy war long ago.
We've already lost the "freedumbs".
The only thing to do now is to clench your dick with pride, and let the world know that you fap to weird shit on the internet.
we were never anonymous. Remember those court docs where moot admits he has our IP addresses?
If you want to be anonymous, there are some chans that support tor posting.
Which linux distro do poor people use?

wtf is going on in this comic? Is she upset that she doesn't actually have a ticket and is now embarrassed after everyone sees she doesnt have a ticket?
Hey tech heads. I need some info.
I have a "friend" who needs a clean phone, so I offered her my old one (pic related, Samsung Galaxy Ace, circa 2012). I want to put some spyware on it so I can see what she's doing with it.
Also, she's ditzy as fuck about tech, so she won't be able to know if it's on there, so long as the icon is either hidden or disguised as some shitty base-install app nobody notices. And when I say she's ditzy about tech, I mean she doesn't know the difference between a SIM and an SD.
Does anybody know of a decent program I could put on the phone that's compatible with something so old? I can't go to the Dark Web because the phone is too shit and I'm not autistic.
Thanks.
>>60553963
Really doubt anyone is going to help you with something like that here.
>>60554007
Hey man, it's 4chan. I figured it was worth a shot.
>>60553963
But if you want to know, theres a neat program called "gentoo" You should install it.
Can someone explain to me how msn.com is #1 in media view hits?
(((Who))) is using this dead website? This doesn't make sense.
Its the default homepage in internet explorer.
>>60553959
Default home page of Internet Explorer. Gets a hit anytime someone opens IE.

you could get a macbook air instead
What can tech companies do to cut down on terrorist communication without infringing rights on regular users?
imprison them?
>What can we do to stop people from talking without stopping people from talking?
Literally nothing. You can't monitor, block, or censor somebody's communications without directly infringing on the rights of everybody else.
>>60553840
Force everybody to do a survey to figure out if they're going to be performing terrorist activities while they're on the internet that day. It's foolproof, nobody lies on the internet.
