Do I lose anything if I convert .mov to mp4?
Just some videos that I shot on iphone that don't show up in google photos, nothing serious

>>62178865
mp4 is actually an extended version of mov, though i'm not sure if there's anything mov can do that mp4 removed support for
since it's just a phone video, it's unlikely you really need anything besides the video and audio tracks
just remux it and see how you go

ffmpeg -i input.mov -map 0 -c copy output.mp4

How can I write a computer program that directly or indirectly gets me uber pussy?

My old PC decided to not turn on at all, not even powering the fans. I took out everything, leaving only the motherboard and the PSU, then it turned on and I started hearing typical electrical crackling, a burning smell and some smoke. Turns out it's coming from the connector of the chipset's fan. Is it beyond saving?

>>62181292
there might be a tool to do that for you
otherwise you can just do it manually like this;
1. create a urandom-sourced file the same size as the sd card
2. write that to the sd card
3. diff them to see if they're identical

a real sd card will of course match the image you wrote to it, but a fake one can't, you use random data instead of blank data to avoid being fooled by fake blank data being returned (but not actually stored)

Locked down OS. Just like windows is to MacOS, third party software is bountiful on android, and even though a lot of it's shit, there's some stellar stuff for every niche (amazing media players, ricing utilities, system utilities, productivity apps, etc.) that either have 1 if you're lucky iphone counterpart that's not up to par, or more likely, no replacement.

The software is the sole reason I won't even consider an iphone, but there are others.

The screen resolution is pitiful, the speakers are ass (well, depends on what phone you're coming from), the hardware buttons are cheap and prone to breaking (with costly replacement/repair as your only option), battery life is meh (depending on what phone you're comparing it too, I guess)

all around, only reason to get one is if you literally don't give a shit about your mobile experience

>>62181911
MHz don't matter that much. Apparently they do slightly more on DDR4 than on DD3. Personally I'd go with 8GB because you can always just add another 8GB at the same speed, while you should never need to upgrade from 16GB. Also, it's MHz, the correct abbreviation for Hertz is Hz.

My research leads me to believe that the ryzen can be upgraded in the future and just dropped into the board, where Intel may require a new board purchase. My purpose is just newish games and homework, I'm leaning to Intel because I've always used that, but amd is interesting

I'm new to servers. Would like to get some networking knowledge via hands-on learning. Am looking at buying a relatively cheap machine and running it on my network. It's got a Xeon X5650, 9GB ram, it's an mATX mobo, and will probably build it in a relatively small form factor case.

All it'd need a graphics card for is interface use, correct?
If so, something basic like a GT710 would be fine?

Also, if I wanted to offload video editing/rendering (maybe for the future) and such to it so I could utilise CUDA (or whatever the AMD equivalent is), what's the sorta card I'd benefit from at a fair price point?
Pretty much anything with a good amount of CUDA cores and decent clocks?

Sorry for the wording, the only technical knowledge I have is building computers for clients, and even then that isn't hard to do.

If I'm a pleb with no certs related to tech (English degree) but I want a tech job, what do I look for? I really enjoy troubleshooting hardware and software issues on my and my friends computers.

Anyone familiar with Void's package manager?

I'm trying to install it, but the default base-system package is full of bloated shit my puny 16gb SSD doesn't need (e. g. man + manpages). I tried removing that shit after the install forcefully, and now I've ended up in dependency hell. What is the appropriate way to install a la arch where you can pick packages from the base group, so I don't have to install a bunch of useless shit I don't need? Should I just manually install the packages I need instead of going through the installer, or do I have to rebuild base-system and strip it of some of the useless dependencies?

I have this:

2.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Mac OS X 10.5.8

Is there any way to put another os on it? 10.5.8 is a dinosaur that doesn't have any support as far as software goes. So I want to either put a new os or upgrade this one so I can at least run a current browser and other small things on it.

I don't use dnscrypt so I'm not too sure about this, but perhaps it's a function that lets dnscrypt to run automatically as services so you don't have to keep turning it on whenever you want to use it.

I'm losing my mind when it comes to power supplies for a raspberry pi 3

I have a two USB chargers - One quickcharge 3.0 that came with my Moto g 4 and a regular one rated 5V 2A that came with my Samsung tablet.
The chinky one is kicking the bucket and sometimes I lose connection, so I figured the other two could work.
They don't. LEDS start blinking like crazy and the device feels slow. Way too slow
Anyone knows what's up?

yeah, if you can be assed to figure out how to configure beets to actually work then it can do that on import. beets can do lots of cool shit like that but, you're essentially writing the config file from scratch

>>62185795
I think you dont need reinstall ffmpeg, just rename ffmpeg.exe as another name like fmpg1/fmpg2.exe

edit $PATH environment variable, add path to the fmpg1/fmpg2.exe, for example, if the full path is "C:\soft\ffm\fmpg1.exe", "D:\ffm\fmpg2.exe", add ";C:\soft\ffm;D:\ffm\" to PATH variable

Mobile data = data going through your MOBILE PROVIDER
Your phone will choose wifi (if available) over mobile data. so you can leave that on, because when you leave the house it will automatically switch over to mobile data.

Data roaming = connecting to cellular networks when ABROAD. Which, most of the time, means you will have to pay extra because you're abroad. contact your provider how much you have to pay

>I assume "Voice" means for phone calls?
You are correct. If you have a 4g plan from your carrier I would personally enable it since you will benefit from the extra fast speeds. however, it does eat more battery life but the benefits outweigh that fact imo.

never apologize for asking a question and don't pretend you're a retarded old fuck. you're probably underage but who the fuck cares anyway dude.

I'd try scanning all your hdds using chkdsk if you're using windows. if you want to really feel like you tried every possible thing to prevent damages you can pop open that case and disassemble everything and look for fuses that got fucked or some dark spots due to electricity.

but if your system boots properly and everything works fine I wouldn't worry that much

>>62186582
Kodi is just a media player, it can run on pretty much any OS, so it's often thrown on a lightweight distro. Most of the unauthorized apps people use don't touch torrents. They just use streams hosted by websites, the same as what you would do in your browser, but with a better interface. There's even a couple services that let you pay a few bucks a month for private access to better sites.
