Where's the one with a reference to the (((wymin in coding))) fb post?
>>56106530
haahah epic nice one!
Why is this shit being pushed so hard?
I was just denied a train ticket because I didn't have one of these and wanted to pay cash.
WTF is this shit
>>56104256
They can't track you with cash.
also banks like cards because they generate interchange fees. businesses (as in "anyone who accepts money for a product or service", public or private) like cards because paying interchange fees is much easier and faster than handling, counting, storing, and transporting cash. Both of them like the idea of keeping a database of everyone who buys things from them, what they bought, for how much, when they bought it, and from where.

Are ultrawide monitors worth it?
Whats a good one to buy?
>>56104076
>Are ultrawide monitors worth it?
No
Just get a 1440p 120Hz display.
what other specs are you interested in besides widescreen, does refresh rate and response time matter? what resolution?
ultrawides are good for muh immersion, but if you're just looking for screenspace, get a cheap widescreen monitor off of craigslist
>>56104095
thats probably way more than 1080p ultrawide will ever be
Someone redpill me on this. I currently use wifi and I get a full strength signal 180/15 no issues. Using a TPlink dual band PCIe wireless card.
Haven't used a wired connection in probably 5-6 years. Will I even notice a difference with one of these?
Do I just plug one downstairs into into my Modem/Router and then another from my powerstrip into my PC? Wouldn't it be slower than just using cat5e cable since its utilizing my wiring? Wouldn't it be prone to interference anytime the power surges or fluctuates?
Are these a meme?
>>56103937
if your house has decent/new wiring and you are not plugin any shit electronics on outlets that share the same wiring you will get a decent connection similar to putting an actual ethernet cable. It will never be the same as an ethernet cable I guess but it will be better than wifi if you had signal problems.
Best use case is when you can't get a decent wifi signal that being structural problems or shit ap/shit wifi card but you share the same electrical wiring.
>>56104023
they are not but if you live in a house from the 1900 and nobody has done a proper rewiring, you are fucked and you will blame the powerline adapters.
>>56104035
I live on the second floor right above the Router and I haven't had any problems. The newer dual band Xfinity routers are pretty damn nice desu.
It's been over 20 years and there's STILL no *nix interface that looks even NEARLY as clean and professional as this.

I enjoy how that looks. How is the user interface?

Here's the problem! No gamer should EVER have to play on a system with AMD crap.

See, what these AMD engineers don't understand is that poo belongs in the loo, not in your GPU, no gamer should ever have to deal with that!

I even added a case with flames on it for a touch of class, you know, to counterbalance the awesome power of Nvidia.

Would it be possible to build a real-time voice modulator like Batman's?
>>56103778
if you're a billionaire then yeah
>>56103840
Not really shouldnt cost more than $100 to /diy/
you could literally do it through an an audio app on your phone like garageband or something, pitch shift it down, add whatever effects, and you're good to go. honestly the hardest part would probably be rigging the speakrs on your person so you could walk around using it. singers and rappers have real-time auto-tune, it's the same thing except you'd be pitch shifting instead of tuning.
I want to repurpose my Nexus 5 as a "desktop" now that I've upgraded.
I've found these launchers that make it more like a desktop. Are there any better alternatives?

If these are too limited in functionality, how can I replace android with something like Ubuntu mate?
But android does have the benefit of larger software variety.
Also anything to look out for with the slimport adapter?
Bump?
Floating apps is pretty good check that out.
Do you enjoy Unix? (BSD, System V, etc)
>>56103749
for the original design principles? yes
for the abortion it has become in different derivatives? no, but I'm stuck with them

i wish we had something that was like the original but on steroids
we have plan 9 i guess, but it's just different enough to irritate the fuck out of me
Hi /g/
I've recently been toying with a bunch of rendering formats and settings on Vegas Pro 13 and haven't been able to come up with a satisfactory baseline to render all my videos in.
I can use AVI with Lagarith Lossless, and that gives me almost 1:1 quality, but the file size is something ridiculous at 48GB / hour.
I like MP4, which offers progressive download (for youtube) and a manageable file size, but the quality goes to the shitter. Various JPEG-looking artifacts appear on frames with sharp edges and high contrast, the frames seem blurred together and not crisp, and has some incredibly shitty banding issues.
I see ripped movies at around 4GB and they have very clear shadows with no banding that I can make out. The image is crisp, and there's very little artifacts. It's also MP4.
So does anyone have any advice on settings? What do you use to render your videos?
Pic mostly unrelated.
Can't you set it to h264 lossless? Else you can render as lossless avi and encode it as lossless h264 with handbrake, just set the audio stream as copy instead convert.
Reminder this happens in a console too.
>>56103770
Do you mean I could render the video in lossless avi with the huge file size, then use something akin to ffmpeg to encode it (bringing the file size down)?
It sounds like a good idea. This is probably what people do when they rip movies and encode them down to a downloadable size.
Anybody have experience encoding stuff into a YouTube-friendly format with minimal loss?

Don't forget to r8

Literally why

Geez, and With This you go out?
Is Ubuntu the ONLY Linux distro that doesn't have major bugs, require hours to setup, or poor hardware compatibility?
>>56103639
install gentoo
>>56103639
It's weird because mint is based on Ubuntu but is way buggier than Ubuntu
>>56103811
It also looks worse.
What websites do you browse?
I miss the era of TOTSE.com and similar places.
What can fill this hole in my heart? Everything seems to be shit nowadays.
4chan.org
>>56103637
4chan.org, gentoo.org, lainchan org, in that order.
So if I use a cheap VPS as a seedbox and for torrents etc. and the Terms of Service states "No illegal downloads/uploads" how would they know exactly what I'm uploading? Would they really care either? I'm using private trackers btw.
I'd personally just get a box at feral hosting if I was you. It depends on the Vps provider. What provider are you looking at?
>>56103854
HostUS
https://hostus.us/terms-and-conditions.html
I mean I doubt they would really care unless they got an email
It's $1.33 a month
>how would they know
they own the hardware and can easily run scripts looking for common movie/music/game/software titles in your network traffic or on your virtual filesystem. doubt they check, but anyone with your ip could report you as a tos violator.
>would they really care
maybe, maybe not. if you use encryption for all your torrent traffic (it's weak, but it's something) and an ipfilter.dat file to stop automated systems from pinging your host then you should be ok for a while. anything illegal has a downward success curve over time, but private trackers are obviously more secure than open torrenting.
