are samsung ssds a meme?

mpd or mopidy?

I have a K3 Note
I use it to play music from while driving
Audio quality is shit, it may be the phone itself

Are there any cheap mp3 players that I should look at other than the Ruizu x02 and Sansa Clip?

I have the latest KCP release of mpc-hc. Sometimes when I try to load videos encoded with hevc, it will get stuck loading them forever. It never happens with 720p videos, just 1080p, but not all of them.

How do I fix this?

Any video with "chapters" displays an incorrect video length when I cut it with ffmpeg. Cutting to a .webm with ffmpeg does not produce a thumbnail even though I should have them (example in pic).

How do I fix these two things? How do you disable chapters from a video? I can just convert to another format to avoid .webm fucking me.

>>59065568
Sorry for the inflated filesize, I was mostly worried about not having any questionable content in the pic when I took the ss, so I overlooked this.

>>59065568
post your commandline parameters, the input of a working webm and one of a non working one.

Retard.

how do i decrypt an archive.gpg if i have the .sig?

Why does su and sudo take so long to tell me I entered my password wrong?
If I type

 sudo something 

and enter my password correctly it instantly executes the command but if I get it wrong, it takes 3-4 seconds to tell me it is. Why does this happen?

>>59065989
prevents bruteforcing by slowing down attackers.

>>59066017
Would it make sense to disable that protection on local access? If an attacker gets access to my unencrypted system, he could just chroot and use passwd on my account much faster than it would take him to brute force my password.

What is your guys opinion on elitebooks? Just bought an 840 off my friend for $60.

How much will a 7200 rpm HDD speed suffer if I remove it from the sata 3 port and plug it into the sata 2 one?

My motherboard only has two sata 3 ports and I want to use the second one for a second SSD

>>59066143
you could have two HDDs on a SATA2 port and they wouldn't get bottlenecked (most of the time)
HDDs are awfully slow, think 90-160MB/s, where SATA2 can do 300MB/s

>>59065628
Hey, sorry for the extraordinarily late reply- I was doing something I was really anxious about and stuff...

I'll get on that right now.

Will buying a cheap SSD fuck me over? Like getting a Kingston 120gb for 40 bucks to put Windows and a game on it?

>>59065091
I have a problem with the shortcuts. One day I have reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop, and every time I press F1-F12 keys, they don't work. They'll need Fn key too, which fucking sucks. Every time I press F4 key and alt+F4, it switches monitors. I have Intel [R] HD Graphics (no thousands) GPU.

>>59065628
Hey, sorry, I can't really provide the "input of a working webm" because ffmpeg doesn't seem to be able to create webms with working thumbnails- I'd have to fetch a random working webm from elsewhere.

But here's what I used, which ended up with a false filelength due to the original video having chapters:

ffmpeg -ss 00:02:45 -t 00:02:52 -i x.mp4 y.mp4

Had to check the sticky to see how to use the "code" tags, hope it worked. Is this enough?

>>59066353
the deal is, webm does not have thumbnails.
you have some sort of explorer extension that generates those for you.
so you might encode differently than the ones you download.
are you using VP8 or VP9?
Hence the question of showing both outputs.

Besides, using -ss before the input is inaccurate (depending on the ffmpeg version), so use it after the input.

Get a Samsung EVO 750 or 85, they're a bit more expensive but you don't want to be cheap when it comes to SSDs and the Samsung EVOs are known for being some of the most reliable models

Is there a way to stop certain files/folders from showing up when searching in Windows 8.1? Does hiding the folder remove the contents from search?

Ja, hiding files removed them from search unless the file and folder option for showing hidden folders is selected.

Tbh I don't know what VP8 or VP9 means, but the program I use to generate webm thumbnails is "Media Preview Configuration", but refreshing it doesn't generate ffmpeg thumbnails. Sorry if I was dishonest for not mentioning this at first...

But thanks for the tip on the placement of the commands- I'll heed that in the future.

Honestly I was stressing-out so much over how do what you requested, if I even understood it etc. but here's an upload of an ffmpeg-created **.mp4** with a false display length (it can't even play on Firefox for desktop for me):

https://my.mixtape.moe/pdsssi.mp4

Here's a random webm I created with a correct display length (EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING):

https://my.mixtape.moe/pqjfnf.webm

Is this what you wanted from me? Cmd had to much text to paste, and kept updating beyond what could be displayed at once, and when I tried to direct its contents to a text file it would break fffmeg working... sorry...

VP8/9 is the video encoding, like h264/h265.

the input information would have been enough.

Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'pqjfnf.webm':
  Metadata:
    encoder         : Lavf57.66.102
  Duration: 00:04:23.04, start: -0.003000, bitrate: 295 kb/s
    Stream #0:0: Video: vp9 (Profile 0), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 720x404, SAR 1:1 DAR 180:101, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc (default)
    Stream #0:1: Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)

The webms you find on 4chan are all vp8 encoded, yours is vp9 and your preview thing probably doesn't know it yet.

if you want to cut out stuff try it like this

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ss 00:02:45 -t 00:01:30 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 -c:a aac -b:a 192k -map_metadata -1 output.mp4

-i takes the input
-ss seeks to 2 minutes 45 seconds
-t convert the next 1 minute and 30 seconds
-c:v use libx264 to generate a h264 encoded video
-preset use a slow x264 preset. the slower the preset, the higher the compression/lower the filesize
-crf use a constant rate factor of 21, read up on that here https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
-c:a use aac encoder
-b:a use 192kilobit per second for audio
-map_metadata remove the metadata

WD Purple okay for a secondary HDD?

The above just goes on and on after this with "chapters" and "streams" and stuff.

I'll use your command for cutting from now on. Much love. Thanks for the explanation, too. But does this fix the false filelength in output files when the input file has "chapters"?

Does discord notify people of screencaps like snapchat does?

(I'm not screencapping anything bad/for vindictive purposes..)

>>59067192
I never had any problems cutting from sources with chapters.
the chapters should get removed now, maybe they caused some weird funkyness.

I got some shitty virus in my flash drive from a computer at work, it replaced all the files with shortcuts and I didn't realize until I put the flash drive in my own PC at home so I imagine the whole thing is infected now.

>>59067251

but as usual, wait for release and let other people test it.

>>59067269
a simple format should be sufficient for that, dban is used when you want to get rid of a harddrive without anyone getting anything off it anymore.

>>59067269
DBAN wipes HDDs 7 times over by default- I believe the first anon is correct in saying a format is enough for your purposes.

If I may add another stupid question: should I attempt to backup my files or does that entail the risk of the virus getting into the external HDD and basically repeat the whole process of infection?

and restarted over and over and over until each scan detected no malicious content on my PC. Then I restarted and ran each program two more times.

I'm still using the same... instance of operating system? I never formatted. But the guy who gave me these antivirus program recs was saying he wouldn't fuck with it and would format like fuck- he deemed such a scenario "FUBAR".

Personally I'd trust these three programs coming up with nothing after a restart, but I know many won't. However, I think certain files are impossible to be malicious? Such as jpegs. Maybe save your porn regardless since as video/ image it might always be ok.

Maybe match the stick of RAM if you can be arsed. I was told dual-channel RAM has benefit over single-channel.

I'm gonna take it from the top, feel free to skip sections.

I think Samsung used to have this option but it may have been removed to improve app compatibility.
Usually, custom roms have an option to fiddle around with this as they assume you're able to deal with it if you make a mistake.

Most smartphones don't have resolution options, as they're built to display at the best resolution. Most software is built to remove user choice in exchange for a easier user experience. Instead of running 720p and getting small battery and performance improvements, you're always running the highest resolution your phone can display for the best picture quality.

If your phone is rooted, you can use a terminal emulator/command prompt to type in terminal commands to change your phone's density (DPI) value, which is how android knows what size to make everything on your screen, and your actual resolution.
>wm density XXX
>wm size YYYxYYY
If you're not rooted, here's what you can try.

http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/07/how-to-change-dpi-of-android-device-without-root/

Use a DPI calculator to find the density value you're gonna need for your new resolution. Type in your phone screen size and your preferred resolution.
https://www.sven.de/dpi/

This should keep you from making the device unusably small or large.

What does a try statement actually do in Java with regards to exception handling?
Like catch catches an exception and handles it, throw throws an exception, but what is the actual function of try and why is it needed? Why couldn't a catch statement work without it?

Just to be clear, it is possible to use the same keyboard and mouse and still have separate screens with a KVM switch right?

>>59068411
Try runs the code that has a possibility of failure, which would otherwise result in the code being terminated.

Catch runs if that code does error, kills that previously executing code from the stack and handles the error with code you provide to continuing running the thread without failure.

>>59068856
(assuming javascript here)

two things wrong here.
data is not an array but an object, so you can't access it using an index.
country-id is not a valid property name.

if you want the first property using an index you can use Object.keys, which returns an array of all properties of an object.
then you can get the first property and get it's value.

info.data[Object.keys(json.data)[0]]["country-id"]

Idf you're usIng eclipse/android studio or really any java ide worth using, it will auto fill if you try to use functions that would require a try catch.

How would you go about making a variable in a subclass accessible to a super() constructor in Java?
Essentially my Character class has an inventory[] array and the size of it depends on the type of character. So for example a warrior has an inventory space of 5, but when trying to declare it and give it a value, the super() constructor won't accept it?
code is below

class Warrior extends Character {
    int inventorySize = 5; //unique int declared here
    
    public Warrior(String nameP, String weaponP, int healthP, int baseAtkP, int baseDefP, int weaponAtkP) {
        super(nameP, weaponP, healthP, baseAtkP, baseDefP, weaponAtkP, inventorySize); //inventorySize isn't accepted?

Usually when you buy a PIC it's just the blank chip. I haven't been following the development of newer PICs, so no idea of there are more fancy ways to programm them but in general you'll need either an In circuit serial programmer (ICSP) or a parallel programmer.

>>59070203
Strings don't like whitespace. They like concatenation, and the usual symbol to represent a space is awkward to remember and use (some ASCII/Unicode thing) so a period is used for concatenation instead.

That's my theory on it at least. I doubt index is a class in this context.

>>59071465
Depends on how they do it. For pages which do overlays, you can just target the "warning" for filtering.

There are also anti-anti-adblock lists like Anti-Adblock Killer which you can add to your listings.

Since all anti-adblock is javascript, you can disable it on sites which don't require it. The problem comes when the site requires js, but I'm not sure if you can target specific js files in uMatrix/etc.

I've never built or upgraded a computer. I want to upgrade the graphics card, ram and hard drive in my desktop. Are any of those items more complicated than the others, or do they all require the same general "it's literally just legos stop being a fag" level of technical expertise?

In closing if you could just tell me if putting in a couple more ram sticks or replacing my HDD with a SSD of the same form factor are any more complicated than replacing a video card I'd appreciate it.

I can't help you, but does "safebrowsing" allow Google to spy on my internet activities?

Is there a way to make HD (720 or 1080p) look "normal" on a UHD (4K) screen?

I fully understand that 1080p isn't going to look better just because I have an expensive TV. I may be stupid, but I'm not THAT stupid.

However, I still have a 4K TV (short story: was a gift), but I don't have any 4K media to play. Almost every movie I watch, every game I play is 1080p at most.

Is there a way to make the 1080p not look like shit? I don't care if I can't use the whole screen, I just want to know if it's possible to make it at least look normal.

>>59072675
What I found says that you download a list of safe sites to use, so if you open a dangerous site (sometimes they also use it as censorship) you get a warning.
I don't know if you actually send urls to google though.

Example: Let's say I'm about to practice guitar. I type something like "guitar begin" and the clock starts and runs until I type "end". It would then somehow ammend a text file (ideally a spread sheet) with the time spent practicing.


Ideally I'd be able to make it store other things to, like which scales I practiced, etc...

I want to use another usb as the main disk to install windows on.
The problem is its not recognizing two usb drives at the same time. It recognizes them both when i have only one connected to the computer, but not both at the same time.

How come whenever I try to torrent something, qbit doesn't download it? It just stays at 0%

im ready to fucking kill myself

i've tried everything to get rid of this god damn electrical fucking noise coming out of my speakers and nothing's worked. it only ever appears when my computer is plugged in to the speakers. through an amp or directly. it's coming out of the computer. only when i move the mouse, scroll a page, otherwise cause CPU activity. the noises that come out when there's PCI activity, eg playing a game, are quite incessantly louder, and unspeakably fucking annoying.

the only thing that solved it was a USB sound card that i got from micro center for $8 but it fried itself dead within 24 hours of owning it and they didn't carry any USB sound cards there of a higher quality. i bought a dedicated sound card today thinking that'd be a plausible solution, but it did literally fucking nothing at all. same sounds still coming out of the computer, now it's just coming out of a pricey dedicated sound card.

No. Their SATA SSDs (850 EVO/Pro line) are the fastest on the market. Their M.2 NVMe are, again, the fastest on the market (even though they throttle pretty fast due to heat).

The question you should ask is whether you need consistent 500MB+ R/W speeds. Most people don't, but for the people who do, there is nobody else I'd consider. Most people would be happy with a mid-ranged SSD from Crucial or SanDisk, and that's fine too.

first time i set this computer up on this outlet i had this issue. somehow adding my dj mixer to the setup eliminated the noise.

just a few weeks ago, i got an ultrawide monitor, which pretty much demanded i shuffle around my setup just so hardware can all co-exist on my desk, and cables can still reach where they need to go. the static shitting noise reappeared, and i haven't been able to get it to go away since. except with that made in china usb sound card.

the only difference to the setup is i unplugged a ps3, an electric drum kit, and a turntable. i plugged in the new monitor.

the outlet has never been grounded but moving the whole setup to an extension cable to a ground GFCI outlet in the bathroom (which i personally tested to be grounded) didn't eliminate the problem either. what's strange is somehow i had no noise at all with all that extra bullshit plugged in, on an ungrounded outlet at that.

next thing i'll try is to see if these bullshit $2 RCA cables i bought make a good noose

The card may play 1440p @ 60hz on modern titles, but that doesn't mean it'll do so in 3 years' time. Resolutions are moving pretty quickly upwards and games are getting extremely VRAM hungry.

>>59074785
Put it in a VM if you can. VMWare if you feel like pirating it, VirtualBox otherwise.

i tried something that worked. i plugged just the speakers into a different power strip, and ran them to a different outlet. noise is gone.

What is a good site for torrenting video editing plugins?

FilmConvert, NeatVideo, Twixtor, etc.

I'm just a student and I want my stuff to look better than the rest of the classes projects.

Plus it would give me knowledge on the plugins already so I can tell people I know how to use it.

[spoiler]desu senpai they should offer academic copies[/spoiler]

>>59074861
Power strips can be damaged during a surge. They're cheap because they're only meant to protect the equipment behind them once.

Or, it could just be because it was always faulty. That'd be a manufacturing defect.

Does the whine still occur if you plug the speakers directly into the outlet? If so, it's a wiring problem.

I have a HP pavilion g4-2350 laptop with a intel i3 2° generation and 4GB of ram, can i install a hackintosh on it (it would be usable)? Should i opt for OSX Mavericks or OSX Yosemite?

ok thanks, sandboxie looks like what i'm looking for and its really light. I doubt my laptop can run a VM.

> I don't know if Windows sandboxes do things properly though.
could you elaborate a bit more on this? I always thought that any changed or created files made within the sandbox were discarded after the sandbox was closed?

Thoughts on certifications?

>>59074983
>could you elaborate a bit more on this? I always thought that any changed or created files made within the sandbox were discarded after the sandbox was closed?

The main problem that I have with sandboxes is that they access the same graphics/audio stack as the host. This means that malware can still take screenshots / ferry it off to a server, and you probably wouldn't know about it. I don't know if Sandboxie can prevent network activity either or whether that needs to be a firewall restriction.

I don't know if Windows exposes the ability to isolate applications in that manner.

is there a list of algorithms like that?

I thought it was something on the /g/ wiki but I don't think it is. I vaguely recall it mentioning that chrome was an element (periodic table kind of element). A lot of the stuff about firefox was nonsense too (the good kind of nonsense, talking about how it's an animal or something).

does it reset date and time in bios

is there actually any major difference between different linux distros other than just which package manager it comes with and which software comes preinstalled?

if you stuck dpkg and apt in gentoo, then installed your window manager etc of choice, would it be any different from debian?

>>59076370
It should. Essentially it will reset your bios settings to their factory defaults

>>59076413
would it allow me to reinstall windows 10

It doesn't affect your hard drives.

Is there an idiot's guide to setting up/using TOR?

Not trying to do anything too out there, I just need to make a facebook account for something and want my usage of the site to be isolated to a separate browser that FB can't track me from.

>just use FF with noscript, self destructiong cookies and umatrix

I already use that as my normal browser, though I had to remove umatrix since it makes basically every web page unsable and unike noscript is all or nothing, thoug even with noscript I end up having to enable almost everything anyways just to get the bare minimum functionality.

Which sort of defeats the point, doesn't it?

Apparently I'm meant to use Wanam's unofficial Xposed framework (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960)
I'm sure I can manage the installation despite having no Android experience, but:

2) what do if that happens?

I have external optic drive with USB 2.0 Y cable, when I only plug on USB cable to the computer, the reading/write speed drop.

Is it because of low power, or does that means the optic drive utilize both of the USB ports for data transfer?

Would this work with external HDD or it will fry it?

I just started the conversion to Arch on my laptop
I've installed the base package, set up my wireless card to work and can manually connect, and can boot using grub
I'm at the end of the basic installation guide on the wiki
my question is is there a recommended order of installation for everything else?

>>59077313
It would work as far as connecting the HDD to the computer. Wont make it faster though. The HDD is probably already at its rated speed.

what should i be learning?
im a CS major, ive only taken a few programming classes, and i want to start making projects of my own/contributing to open-source, but I have no idea where to go.
i feel like i haven't learned anything beyond the syntax and basics.
what do i need to know to get job as software dev?

I want a laptop. I hate macs but I probably should get one for app compilation to iOS. Am I better off getting a good (expensive) Mac or a non-Mac AND an old Mac for compiling xcode?

Found a restore disc for my laptop and now I have the original Windows 8 on, I already installed all the available updates, but should I upgrade to 8.1 before upgrading to Windows 10 (Via Acessibility options it's still free). ?

Does the term "system event" in the context of an analysis and modeling class rings any bell to any of you? Google shows nothing, the string is not present in our mandatory textbook. I don't think the professor ever even uttered those words together in his lectures, but still he's asking us to define what it is in our mid-term preparation work. It's irking the shit out of me.

why does data streamed from the ssd / hd have to go to the cpu first before being routed to the gpu then back to the cpu?

why doesnt data get streamed in 2 separate pipelines depending on if its gpu or cpu shit and the gpu have direct access to the ssd/ hd

you got circut boards that are etched on 2 sides. you telling me they cant make a storage device that allows shit to be read and off loaded in 2 separate terminals? depending on how its flagged.

What should i do with an old galaxy 4s?

>>59077636
In that case, don't rush it. By the second year you'll have acquired more tools. You'll probably learn to use git, which will make working on existing projects easier. And they'll get through your head the idea that what makes a programmer a programmer and not a stack overflow poster is that to successfully program, you just have to read library documentations. Learn to know what tools already exist, and "learn to learn how to learn those tools", if that makes any sense.

>>59077746
>In that case, don't rush it.
not exactly what i wanted to hear, because i have nothing but time on my hands and i want to learn.
>what makes a programmer a programmer and not a stack overflow poster is that to successfully program, you just have to read library documentations

makes perfect sense. thanks

What would be the best way for me to get torrented films onto my tv to watch? Just getting an external drive and sticking it in or is there a better option.

>>59077932
What do you mean, on to your smart tv or something?

>>59078008
Yeah.

>>59078048
Is there a file browser, video player, and a usb port? (i don't own a smart tv, i don't know what kind of apps they can get) if so just DL torrents onto PC, copy to usb drive, then plug in and watch. what else is plugged into tv? cable? game system?

>>59078048
im sure there's some sort of media server you could use to watch files off your pc

Alternatively, does anyone know of a safe keygen i could get if there is such a thing?

region? both are mid-low brands. Imo invest a fair amount into your monitor, in one regard its the most important accesory, since its basically what your computer parts are working together to drive (obviously other stuff too, but graphics in the end are what matters).

Got a disk with some bad sectors, anything I can do besides throwing it in trash?

>>59079062
Store stuff that doesn't matter until it fails. I've been using a disk with two bad sectors for years. It's only a problem when it's increasing.

I've just installed a Debian with XFCE minimal, now when I'm trying to set all the settings...I noticed that I haven't any setting for managing the network setting,...for example I haven't "pulse-audio" but I have a minimal "Alsa Mixer" that work fine for my purposes,..so I search a simple and minimalistic manager for network

>>59079139
Already backed up and formated the disk, it's just sitting there unused atm, was thinking of giving it to my gfs little brother to put in his shitty 12gb ps3 (it's a laptop hd)

For the past month I've been torrenting off an external hard drive and never had any problems but yesterday the power went off for an hour and now when I turn on qbittorrent it shows that all torrents are at 0% and clicking the recheck button does nothing

What do I do?

I have an Asus GPU and have installed the Asus GPU tweak 2. I also have MSI afterburner installed. Is it safe to uninstall the Asus tool and just keep using afterburner?

>>59075983
The main problem with USB 3.0/1 is that it causes a shitload of RF noise @ 2.4-2.5 GHz while in use. If the phone isn't shielded properly, it will cause disruptions to its WiFi/VoLTE capabilities while doing so. It may also cause disruption to some cellular networks; LTE has several bands within the 2.4GHz range.

I don't know if phone manufacturers can solve this by physically moving the wifi/baseband chipsets as far away as possible, or by shielding the port more thoroughly. I don't know if there are even any USB 3.0+ phones on the market right now.

Also, Type-C is a connector, not a transfer standard. The only thing it implies is rapid charging capabilities.

>why does data streamed from the ssd / hd have to go to the cpu first before being routed to the gpu then back to the cpu?

Because you don't actually understand what's happening. What do you think controls your I/O?

Spoiler: Your hardware is stupid and has a very limited idea as to what to do with itself. It's not "The CPU" or "The GPU" or "The SSD". It's your operating system.

>why doesnt data get streamed in 2 separate pipelines depending on if its gpu or cpu shit and the gpu have direct access to the ssd/ hd

Because that would cause horrible concurrency issues due to your operating systems not "talking" with each other. The physical block device is a slave. It does what the OS tells it to do.

A notable exception is the case of a SAN architecture where concurrent operating system access can be achieved to a single underlying block device, but it can't send multiple operating systems to the same "slice" without concurrency issues because OSes aren't designed for this.

>you got circut boards that are etched on 2 sides. you telling me they cant make a storage device that allows shit to be read and off loaded in 2 separate terminals? depending on how its flagged.

Yes, I'm telling you that.

Theoretically, you might be able to run a hypervisor which allows for a GPU to run its own OS in concurrency with the general purpose OS, but none of your hardware is designed for this and it would fail miserably without Mobo/CPU/GPU manufacturers working together closely.

Of course, it would be entirely pointless because I/O has physical links which are already being saturated, as well as command queue limitations. It's not like there's some "super secret hidden potential" you thought of. SATA AHCI doesn't go past 550MB/s & 1 command queue even with this retarded idea.
