I'm in a situation where my girlfriends ex-husband appears to be sabotaging her car. We replaced the belts and hoses and the next day, it's puking coolant and the serpentine has a clean v-cut in it. I've ordered from ebay a few cameras to hide around and probably catch him in the act. At what point does this come a police matter? they rent the same home but in different floors. I just bought her a beater as this minivan is beyond saving, but im worried that im going to start seeing cut hoses and such.

My CPU temps have been getting hot lately so I decided I should try and see about replacing the thermal paste.

This is what my CPU looks like right now, can I remove the thermal paste with just some rubbing alcohol? How much pressure do I apply when using the paper towel?

Does it really matter that my operating system is open source if my hardware is backdoored, all my communications are monitored and stored so that quantum computers can break the encrypted communication in 10 years, i have a phone in my pocket that is constantly tracking me, i'm around smart devices like internet connected tvs with always on mics and cameras everywhere whenever i step out of my house, security cameras are everywhere, and i rely on online services and platforms that are completely opaque to me for essential services?

So I have a bunch of MID files, some SGT files, and one DLS file. From my understanding the SGT files do not require any kind of additional sound file, and on Windows I am good to go with Simply DirectMusic Player (SDMP). Unfortunately this piece of rat's ass software does not play any of the MID files, even after explicitly setting the DLS.

>inb4 lol his MID files are broken
Here is where it gets stupid. I wanted to get SOME player to run those files and read that VLC, after some tweaking (on Linux now) was capable of playing MID files, so I tested one of those files that SDMP wouldn't play. That didn't work immediately because I didn't have a fucking Soundfont (SF2) file to feed it, so I just downloaded an example Soundfont and set VLC to play it. And VLC played the fucking thing even though SDMP couldn't. Of course it was not the song that I expected, due to the fact that I had to download an example Soundfont instead of the original one because VLC does not support having a DLS file being shoved up its anus.

Let's recap:
- SDMP does play SGT files, supports DLS, but goes full retard on MID files
- VLC plays MID files, but does not support neither DLS nor SGT files

At this point I just want to convert the tracks that I have into RIFF WAV files, so it does not matter on what operating system and what player/converter I am if I can only get the MIDs converted. On Windows I can just use Audacity as a last means resort to capture the playback as RIFF WAV, on Linux I know I can do the same with ALSA. So I tried to search for DLS->SF2 converters, and there have been mentionings of VSampler3 and Aware Studios. If you find free, not obviously virus-ridden versions of those, I am officially an idiot and deserve to die.

And apparently no one else wants to deal with DLS files in their players. Is it at this point easier to just try and try to program my own custom player that accesses the DirectMusic API on Windows?

If Steve Jobs made an ama before he died on /g/, would you ask him something and what?

Would you be serious or not?
