Does anyone understand the specifics of lossless compression?
I understand what it does but not how it does it.

Which specific lossless encoding algorithm do you not understand?
I can trivially explain to you how something like Huffman encoding does lossless compression.

What's the best value mobile music player that I can buy? My iPhone is in a waterproof case that has a really annoying 3 inch adaptor that needs to be used in order to connect a standard aux cable.
Specifications: Interface with iTunes (preferable), at least 30 GB (less, if that is unreasonable) of storage space, easy access aux port, small profile (I will be keeping this in my lab coat, unless in use or charging). Compatibility with Mac is beneficial.

It's not the BSD thread but you retards have no arguments for why BSD is actually bad except

Ironically that's the same argument winfags use.
Really makes you think.

Stop being a poorfag and work, better use creditcard if you cant pay it in cash.
Good PC cost around $800 anyway.
Even someone like my who didnt finish college can get that kind of money with just 2 hours of work every weekday for a month.

Anyone else lose the ability to play YouTube videos in the background? I used to listen to video audio through Safari with my screen off, but now when I go to control center and press play, the info disappears.
Did Google change something?

Build one out of an old car seat imho
>>
>>60123062
As someone who also hated the idea of "gaming" chairs, after going through several typical office chairs I finally caved. I reluctantly bought a "gaming" chair, and it's actually quite good. Yeah, it stands out too much, but if it's staying at home, the extra features and comfort are worth the look, and gaming-tax.
If you really don't want to consider one, and I don't blame you, this is your best option >>60123730. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy a mesh chair like you posted, or a fake leather one. They'll tear and degrade after less than two years. Also don't buy Staples chairs. My last chair was a Staples Poynter, and the back collapsed while I was leaning back. Two tiny L-brackets connect the back to the seat, and they sheared after two years of use.
tl;dr: You get what you pay for. The gaming-tax does tend to come with better build quality, at the expense of professional aesthetics. Mesh bad. Fake leather bad. Cloth good. Real leather good. Custom best.

Let's have a thought experiment /g/.
The Acer Predator 21x is a laptop with the following specs:
>21" 2560 x 1080 IPS LCD screen
>i7-7820HK 2.9 ghz CPU
>2x Nvidia GTX 1080 GPUs
>64gb of DDR4 RAM
>2x 512gb PCI SSD
It weighs 20 lbs and costs $9000. That's a lot of money. What kind of laptop acn you build on your own with that kind of money? Can you build something equivalent for less?
There are many low profile and low power consumption desktop components available, as well as frameless monitors to work with. Cases can be ordered from plastic and metalworking companies. Again, $9000 is a lot of money to work with.
So what would you start with?

I think the best course to go with the display will to be buying a 21" IPS monitor and decasing it. This is done in the arcade an pinball hobby sometimes and they seem to have good success with it. An open frame monitor is another possibility, but it looks like it would be about twice the cost.
One you have the monitor out of the case you'd need to build your own with hinges and find a way to run your cables through.

Did somebody here used that "Brave" browser? It's based on Chromium and have a built-in ad-block. Sounds cool but it's eating up my CPU, lags every time I switch tabs.

Slow as fuck in my limited experience. I'd rather use anything else.

Just started using it and its working great for me, about 1/2 the ram usage of Opera @170mb and barely any CPU usage ~1% No slowness at all. Only complaint is the UI.

I am using it right now on Windows 8.1 and so far so good.
