What's a pdf reader which can open large pdf's quickly? I'm opening a 2.6GB pdf in firefox, and it's already using 3.2GB of memory, and it's only half done. It's taken about 10 minutes to get this far. I guess it's loading the whole thing into memory rather than doing it lazily.

I tried chromium and it just made some sad face and didn't get any further. Needs to run on linux, and would be good if it worked on windows too.

i7-4790k, 16GB 2400mhz RAM, GTX 970, Windows 7 64-bit

Two Asus VG248QE monitors, 1080p @120hz. One connected with DisplayPort, one connected with Dual-link DVI.

Whenever I have video playing or images shown on the second monitor (the non-primary monitor according to Windows) I get massive screen tearing and response time/lag on both monitors. I can move a video to the second screen and immediately start having problems, and if I move it back to the primary monitor the lag and screen tearing stops after a few seconds. It's getting worse now and sometimes I get the lag/screen tearing without videos or images on the second screen.

I did a clean reinstall of my video drivers, my mem/cpu usage is nowhere near maxed out. What should I test to get this fixed?

yeah youd need a place to move it all, format as GPT, then move data back. you should be able to image it though and just put the image back on the GPT partition 1 then reboot where you left off. but you need a drive to image everything too. since you dont understand GPT vs MBR though Im thinking that might be a bit above you. but if you have another drive it shouldnt be too difficult

Trying to disassemble an old, broken HP Laptop, but even after unscrewing most of the screws, the bottom isn't coming off. Wondering if it's because of this one screw I can't get out along the hard drive bay in pic related.

What should I be doing?

>>60272656
have you tried unscrewing it

I have a folder, folder "A".Within this folder is a folder,folder "B".I want to mv the contents of folder "B" back a level to folder "A".How do i accomplish this? Furthermore,i would like it to be scaleable as i had over 100 folders setup like this i need to move back a level

>>60270594
If something can't be a string or an integer what can it be in python?

>>60272761
You have hundreds of folders within one folder, and you want to move content of hundreds of folders to one where these hundreds of folders are?
If so,

mv OneBigFolder/**/* OneBigFolder

>>60272761
mv ./A/B/* ./A/

>>60272686
I've unscrewed everything except for the one on the right. It's impossible and I think it's ruined now anyway.

>>60272803
No.

BaseDir
-Folder A
--Folder B
---Contents of folder B

I want to move the contents of folder B back one level to folder A,but not hte orginal basedir that folder A is in.If that makes sense
So

Basedir
-Folder A
--Folder B
--Contents of Folder B

>>60272821
The folders arent named a or b but rather a random folder names some are numeric

>>60272822
>it's impossible
No it isn't.

>>60272839
doesn't matter

>>60272849
How?

>>60272827
What's the point of folder B then?
Just mv BaseDir/B/* BaseDir.
If I understood it correctly.

>>60272869
I guees im not being clear.
Its for more then just one folder set.
Lets say its a folder within a folder and that folder has media files in it, i dont need a double set of folders,i just need the media files moved back one level,but not to the orginal folder,as the media files need to be seperated in to folders but for a reason its down 2 folder depths rather then just one.

>>60272892
so it's like

a
-1
--file.mkv
b
-2
--file2.mkv
c
-3
--file3.mkv

to:

a
-file.mkv
b
-file2.mkv
c
-file3.mkv

For 100/100 symmetrical FIOS, does it give you 100DL and 100UL at the same time? As in you can upload 100mb/s while downloading at 100mb/s? All speedtests only do one at a time, and for torrents it seems it only does combined DL/UL = 100Mb/s

>>60272436

$100-$250 Small prebuilt celereon/atom machine with 4+ USB3 ports. Usb is really meh and messy, but low power draw and easy.

$200-300 Build your own celeron machine with a soldered CPU+mobo.

$100-$250 Used sandy quadcore machine. Can have up to 8 sata ports, might need a bigger case. OK power draw. Good performance for other stuff.

$50 c2d machine + $20 xeon off ebay, Decent performance, medicre power draw. The Xeon mod isnt too hard but harder than just installing.

>>60273218
If you live in teh US? if you don't, probably no worries.

>>60273259
Well fuck. So when I set QBittorrent to unlimited DL/UL, UL somehow always takes all the bandwidth and DL slows to a crawl. They add up to 100Mb/s total, but when doing a speedtest simultaneously, I still have an extra 40Mb/s or so for either upload or download. Guess I gotta change the settings for QBt or something. Thanks.

>>60273348
Even when I do limit UL, I still only get combined 100Mb/s transfer in torrenting. Maybe Frontier is just shafting P2P connections.

>>60273496
can you get 200Mb/s total with other things?

>>60273507

got any that are free to use?

I've got Fujitsu Lifebook AH502, Intel Pentium M2020 proccessorr and there's one slot free for RAM. It's old and slow af, so I've been thinking about putting one in there.
My friend told me that RAMs are sold only in pairs, is that true? Also, if I buy 4GB RAM, will I have any trouble with power source?

>>60273547
a VPN is a type of proxy
you're probably thinking of an HTTP(S) or SOCKS proxy
the main difference is the http(s)/socks just proxies http(s) traffic/arbitrary packets, while a VPN is designed to be a proxy which also effectively joins your machine to the remote LAN

if your intention is just redirecting internet traffic through a remote machine, a SOCKS proxy is all you need, and it's much easier to setup and use than a full VPN

>>60273572
This is very cool. Thank you.

>>60273669
>sold only in pairs
No.

>trouble with power source
No.

So basically you should buy 1x4Gb or 2x2Gb if you want better speed.

>>60273748
Computer components can't operate at 230V DC, you need to convert it to 5-15V AC somehow. You could have a gigantic converter in some room and feed the correct volatages from it but then you'd have to have a seperate outlet and wires for PC wall plugs that arent compatible with any other devices.

Not to mention that faulty components can fry your PSU, and that huge-ass converter will be quite expensive to replace if it dies because of that.

>>60273892
You'll probably need the runtime then. Just put "python download" to google and pick the correct version from the first link.

Gonna buy a 4tb drive but dont know what brand/version.

What should i get?

>>60271490
There are ways to do it non destructively, but it's easier to just delete everything.

>>60271634
If it's a regular omnidirectional antenna it should be perpendicular to the line to the computer you want the best signal to. If it has two antennas, the second should be perpendicular to both the line to the client and to the first antenna if possible

>>60274895
If you want a bit faster, 7200RPM, if you want a bit quieter, 5400/5900RPM. Avoid anything that says it's for archival use. Then sort by price. Brand doesn't matter much.

>>60274625
Only if the custom ROM's designed for the same fake.

Also, sure you're not just getting mixed up with regional variants? For CPU, a real S3 can have either an Exynos 4 quad, a Snapdragon S4 MSM8960, or a Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 depending on where it was bought.

>>60274933
>Avoid anything that says it's for archival use
Why?

>>60274958
>custom ROM's designed for the same fake
> mixed up with regional variants
It could be.
Would flashing a ROM intended for different variant completely brick it?

How do I stop Chrome from automatically using the url bar suggestions instead of what I typed?

For example, if I search for 'weather tomorrow' once and then type just 'weather' into the search bar, it auto completes that to 'weather tomorrow' and searches for that when I hit enter.
What I would like it to do instead is just show the suggestion and let me accept it by pressing the right arrow key for example. But when I just type something and press enter, I want it to search for exactly what I typed.

Because they'll usually be shingled magnetic recording drives. Decent enough performance on the first time they're written, and can fit more data for the same physical technology, but rewrites and random writes are horribly slow since it has to rewrite all the tracks that overlap the one you wanted to write

So my internet connection has been really bad lately. I notice it usually gets this bad during the summer. I think my router is broken or something. It gets REALLY hot. An overheating router can ruin the internet connection, right?

Does a router really matter when it comes to home wifi? I have my desktop computer hooked up to the ethernet port on my router which is connected to my modem. There's other devices running on my network. I'm thinking about getting a $50 router.

>>60275736
Here. Post em.

Hey /g/, I have an idea but don't know if it's actually possible.
I'd like to build a mouse, but without sensor. Basically just scroll wheel and switches. Where would I find a chip for doing this? I've looked on aliexpress but all of the chips I found are sensors, and none provide the schematics

>>60276447
it would be cheaper and easier to just buy the cheapest chinese mouse you can, and remove the sensor

>>60276353
By internet speed do you mean speed from the modem / router to your ISP, or WiFi speed?

Overheating router can cause performance issues.

>>60276447
For what purpose? Anyway, buy cheap shit mouse, add wires for button/wheel if you want them somewhere else. On cheapo ones sensor and USB controller are often part of the same hybrid chip, so you can't just get the controller.

>>60276479
>>60276477

It'd be for a personal project, i.e wasting time doing something and hopefully have fun / learn something from it, but if I can't build it from scratch then I guess I'll bite the bullet and go for the chink way.
What could be a way to deactivate the sensor without breaking the whole controller? Would taping a piece of black paper under it help?

int newSize = 0;

{
    if (array[i] != null)
        newSize = i+1;
}

array = new Thing[newSize];

So what happens to the old Thing array? Does it get wiped from memory automatically? And if not, how would I do that? I'm trying to do more than resize here, this is just an example.

use your webcam as input and output in hls format, then have a http server serving the output directory and you can have multiple devices watching the stream at the same time

How do I stream it?
>>60278847
For GNU/Linux?

>>60278799

I guess it's some security option in router, it blocks traffic to external network, but which one.

How would a different channel solve it?

any winapi 'frame builder' like the one Qt has or te one Eclipse has for Java...?

>>60278902
run this:
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0
decide what quality and stuff you want then build a command line that looks something like:

ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 output.m3u8

but using the options you chose in the previous step, this should start creating hls segments in the current directory, you can then serve the directory with any old http server, even (python -m SimpleHTTPServer, although note that it's single threaded)

then point a media player at the url for the output.m3u8 file and it should start playing

>>60278902

Thanks, but this creates video files.
I want to stream it in real time

>>60279098
is a 5-10 second delay not good enough?

>>60279122
Not if you decide to check after an hour or so.

>>60279157
i don't understand
just to clarify, my method does let you stream, yes it creates video files but you can watch them as they're being created, you don't need to kill ffmpeg to watch what it's recorded, it'll be a live stream, the format is literally called http live streaming (HLS)

or is the issue that you want "real time" and a delay of 5-10 seconds is not good enough? if so, what is good enough? < 1 second?

>>60279224
Don't get me wrong, your methods works great.
If you want to stream something for few minutes.
But what if I wanted to check the stream after say two days?
The stream would play from the beginning.
Not to mention this would use up disk space if I leave it for long period of time.

>>60279281
you're mistaken, that's not the case at all, yes you can do that as well, but i'm pretty sure the default is that you'll see video 5-10 seconds older than when you started playing, and it's not the default you can specify it, that's the way i used it

about the diskspace, yes you're right about that, but you can pass a flag which lets you specify that you want to delete old segments

it's the hls_flags option called "delete_segments" (i can't link the docs because 4chan thinks i'm a bot)

>it's the hls_flags option called "delete_segments"
That's why you think it's 5-10 sec delay.
You're deleting the old segements so when you play the stream it start from the oldest segment which is at most 10 sec.

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap laptop?

How do I get the following in OpenOffice? Etc with custom quantity numbers and clickable hyper links?

if you look at the output.m3u8 file
note it only lists 5 segments, the latest 5

it also has a sequence number, each sequence of the playlist corresponds to a different list of segments

playlist with sequence 0 would contain segments 0 through 4
sequence 1 would contain segments 5 through 9 etc...

so if the playlist is at sequence 1, segments 0 through 4 are not being referenced and any new player won't know they exist and therefore won't try to fetch and play them

>>60279439
Couldn't you just concatenate strings and different parts together in print?

>>60279562
>the latest 5
For me it doesn't.
I lists every segment ever created.

does this mean that my wifi has been always on?

>>60279613
that is what the current docs say so maybe you have an older version of ffmpeg where the behaviour is different

try adding the argument "-hls_list_size 5"

>>60279669
That seems to solve it.
But I'd prefer if it stream it with zero latency.
Like how you run

mpv tv://

Is there a way to play something through speakers/out loud even if you have headphones plugged in?

>>60279699
you can reduce the latency by specifying a smaller list size and segment length

but sorry i can't help you with getting zero latency, never looked into it much

>>60270594
why do most newer languages not allow manual memory managment? and if they do they make it completely unviable due to contrived libraries related

>>60279699
Why do you want zero latency?

>>60279094
>>60279347
they're probably wired to same paths, doubt such an oldie has better controls

you could just buy some liquid silver and make your own and make your own driver but yeah

does freesync/gsync put less strain on the gpu?

>>60279838
To spy on my little sister when she change her clothes.

I need to set a two way video/audio communication between to devices, to monitor and send instructions.
I was thinking of using skype or any other social media but I needed the other party approval to start the connection, and after long period the connection hangs up automatically.

I'm running a ffmpeg job overnight. The temps are steadily climbing, and are now at 85C. Obviously the long term solution is buy a better cooler and redo the termal paste, but for *right now*, without interrupting the job, how can I *safely* downclock my CPU without risk of crashing my PC (so that the job doesn't stop and lose its progress)?

>>60279064
if you make your gpu 5% faster you will probably get 5% more fps

I've never been an apple user but I got a free ipad so I figured why not give it a try. I've played around, learned the niches about ios but it still doesn't pique my interest.

Some of my apps are on ios, many of my favorite ones are gone with no ios equivalent, some apps have decent ios alternatives, in the end it just still feels odd.

I just dont particularly enjoy using it, even with all the apps I'd consider that i need it feels like what, this is it? This is what I've been hearing shills praise for all these years? It just feels very bare yet not minimalist, yet convoluted in the wrong spots. Some stuff is nice and sleek, other tasks are so convoluted it's a pain. Is there something i'm missing or should I just sell the ipad?

>>60280285
lol, depending on what it is, suspend the process, let your cpu cool down then resume it

>>60280359
This is not going to work. It has ran for less than an hour and it's already at 86C. It has to run for at least another 12 hours. I need to underclock my CPU. It's an i7 3770 if that matters.

>>60280355
as a long time ios user, i felt the same way using an android phone

my workflow just worked better on ios for most things

now i use both, it's the only way

any simple windows C++ IDE that highlights shit and allows me to ctrl + click includes, objects... you like / recommend?

>>60280359
Not him but how to do that?

>>60280380
your cpu will throttle automatically when it gets too hot (105 degrees) i think

I think I should redo the termal paste job because some tiem ago I removed the CPU cooler to put some new RAM but didn't redo it.

Since then, temps have gone up and down costantly, but there hasn't been any problems so far. Right now it went from 40ºC to 45ºC on idle.

What termal paste should I get? I know it really doesn't matter, but I'm sure some of you have had better experiences with some brands or another.

>>60280482
While that temp range is not bad at all,you should repaste it immediately

>>60280492
I've been running like that like half a year, but I'm starting to get worried a little.

>>60280467
depends on your OS

but i'm guessing you're on windows/mac if you need to ask

on windows idk if you can do it through the task manager but you can do it using an program called process explorer

>>60280389
workflow on stock android is alright but with all the customisation I do it improves tenfold

I'm gonna try it for a few more days but as it stands I just can't see myself using the platform, it's limitations and the inability to correct them will be the end of me

>>60280469
technically right, but that's still a pretty risky temp. apparently windows lets you limit cpu usage natively, huh. that's pretty cool.

>>60280527
Sorry, but I'm on GNU/Linux.

>>60280285
Get a recently compiled ffmpeg, recent builds have huge multicore performance increases

but 86 isn't that bad, its not good but it's not dangerous by any means

>>60277456
No one?

>>60280643
suspend:
kill -TSTP <pid of the process>

resume:
kill -CONT <pid>

>>60280723
Can it be done automatically?
Like have the process run for 5 min the suspend for 5 min?

>>60280822
i'm sure you could write a little script that does that

>>60280844
Sadly I can't.

How do I enable dht for the halite torrent client. Is it automatically on?

>>60280869
#!/bin/bash
while true
do
sleep 5m
kill -TSTP $1
sleep 5m
kill -CONT $1
done

pass the pid as a parameter to the script
warning: my bash sucks
