I have seen these mini PCs for a little while, and I would like to know what do you think about them.
Also, can you tell me if the Core i3 6100U (pic related) is a good model to replace my current Athlon 5350 mini PC? I currently use it to surf the net, watch videos, do some BOINC when I am not working and play some light games.
Many thanks.

Used them at work for users that needed something more than a thin client.
They're decent computers for web browsing/video watching/etc. but IDK if they would do gaming well

Hey /g/,
booted up my computer today and saw this (image attached (closer detail in following image)). No BIOS screen or anything - the monitor just immediately showed me this as the first and only image. Connecting the same DVI cable to a different monitor (which was 1280*1024 whereas the one in the picture is 1920*1080 if that matters) worked, which is the setup I'm currently using - just swapped the monitor.
Presumably the monitor broken (correct me if I'm wrong). Is there any way I could repair it? Will I have to get a new one? If so, any suggestions for what I should get?
The monitor worked fine for about 2 years prior to this event.
The monitor is called Acer 24" Predator GN246HL. It has a frame rate of 144 Hz and a pixel resolution of 1920*1080. If I need to replace it, I'll be looking for one with similar specifications.

>/g/ is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
Check your RAM, try to start with one module, also try to remove the graphics card and start with the integrated GPU if you have one.
Also, switch the HDMI cable.

>>56224581
I don't think it's a problem with my computer. This is what I get when using the monitor with another computer over VGA. (I've never tested the monitor with that computer before, though.)
>Also, switch the HDMI cable.
I was using DVI, and in fact this DVI cable (which came with the monitor) is thicker than the other ones that I have and I'm pretty sure it's the only one that'll work with it because I remember trying to use another cable first when I got the monitor, which didn't work so I had to use the included one.

Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon.
Wireless is frowned upon.
Headset requests are frowned upon.
Noise isolation ≠ Noise cancellation
If you dislike a suggestion, try giving a better suggestion to whomever asked instead of going "hurr, x sucks"

If I understand it correctly, putting a file in an encrypted container basically scrambles it until its data is disordered anough that, for all intents and purposes, looks exaclty like noise.
Then, when the program decrypts the data, it follows a set of instructions (in the algorithm and the password) to locate all these pieces of random data and put them back in the order they should be, to recreate the original file.
Correct?
So theoretically, if I put a very secret file inside a TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt container (even with a single-character password), then put it into a .rar file that's split into 10MB pieces, and re-encrypted everything (but the first and the last piece) in a single .7z file, it would be phisically impossible for someone to access the file from that .7z archive, even if they they had scifi-tier technology to break all encryption (as long as they don't have the two pieces I left out).
That's because, even if they managed to open the first .7z archive, they would find themselves with an incomplete .rar archive, so even if they managed to extract everything contained in those .rar pieces, they still wouldn't have the complete TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt "noise blob", and therefore wouldn't be able to "reorder" it correctly even if they had the password (because it would be missing some of that noise that's contained in those two pieces I would leave out).
If that's correct, then by using this method, cloud storage doesn't have its security issues anymore, since even if anyone could access those files, it would still be impossible for them to open them and extract my secret documents.
Unless they could somehow extract part of my very secret file from what they have of the noise that they extracted from those incomplete .rar packets, but it's theoretically impossible to do that, right?

Sounds interesting. I'm not sure if true crypt would be able to read whatever corrupted file you'd get from forcing rar to extract the files without the first and the last part. But it actually is possible to get parts of your encrypted files, providing they're large enough, and just patch up the missing holes.
For example, you could make 2 dummy files to act as the first and last rar, but you'd still have to know the exact size of the last rar. This just means it would be a lot of brute forcing to just get a slightly distorted file, instead of an original. Even if you used all the computers in the world you'd still need years to do all that, especially if you use rar parts larger than 10MB.
You could test all this, but use very small passwords (2-3 characters), and a random 320x320 image as the "secret file" just to see what happens as you brute force it manually. I think larger images (for example) would be easier to "recover" though, at least if you want to see what the general idea of the image is (basically you have less percentage of the image filled with blank/dummy pixels, so it's easier to see what it's about).
>>
>>56225935
Yeah, that's basically what I thought.
Every step in this process could potentially have a workaround to extract a "partial" corrupt file with the present data, so the real strength of this is in the innermost layer (TrueCrypt noise), where I'm wondering if it's possible to "un-scramble" the noise even if there are missing pieces.
I don't have the necessary skills to be able to test this properly though.

I have read the ideo of this once here and now that I have time, I want to try to do this.
Basically, your file's data is transferred into video format so that you can upload your data to a video hoster. The resulting video will look kind of like pic related but probably with more color to achieve a smaller video file.
I was looking for something like this on the internet, however I havent found anything: neither an article nor a program about converting data to video.
So, does anyone of you know how to do this? I could probably program something like this but if some of you already know something like this I wouldnt

Youtube might remove the videos for abuse of their service, too.
