I'm trying to burn an audio CD. I want to burn eleven MP3 files, and in total they are 507 MB. About 9 hours of audio. Should fit fine on a 700 MB CD right? Yet for some reason VLC is saying I can only burn 80 minutes. The same with Windows Media Player.

Is there something fundamental I'm just not understanding?

>>56707458

You can burn them as data-cd (700 MB of files) or as a audio-cd (80 minutes of music). Keep in mind that many cd players will only play audio-cd disks.

When you upload a 1080p video onto YouTube, after it's been processed you are able to view that video at it's original resolution or a range of lower resolutions (720p, 420p, 320p, 240p, 160p). But how does this work exactly, does YouTube re-render your video and host several copies of the same video? So on the YouTube servers, they would have SIX different copies of one 1080p video? Is this really how it works? That would take up enormous amounts of space just to host the lower resolutions, wouldn't it?

For that matter, how big are the YouTube servers anyway, and what do they look like?

So on the YouTube servers, they would have SIX different copies of one 1080p video? Is this really how it works?

Yes, that is how it works. They don't transcode it in real time or anything.

This is why there is a delay when the video is initially uploaded, to receive higher qualities. They transcode from worst -> best for speed.

>That would take up enormous amounts of space just to host the lower resolutions, wouldn't it?

Not really. They don't keep your original; They transcode it into a webm version of your max resolution, then downscale from there. They've developed newer, more efficient codecs specifically for this.

>For that matter, how big are the YouTube servers anyway, and what do they look like?

"YouTube's servers" are a mixture of two things:

* The datacenters Google provides (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmGGAbHqa0)
* The servers that Google gives to ISPs in order to facilitate faster transfer speeds to end users (They cache high demand videos @ end nodes given to ISPs so they don't have to send it across the entire internet to get to you. Netflix does this too.)

>What are the differences between motherboards and power units? Are they not all the same?

A motherboard connects all your shit. The power supply powers all your shit.

>Why is it important to keep computer components cool? Does the hardware perform worse when they are hot? Are they more prone to breaking down or exploading, or something?

Heat and electronics do not mix. It causes performance degradation and part failure over time. Excessively high temperatures (>100C) may cause immediate part failure.

>>56707661
Probably too late now, you should've dried it as soon as possible.

>>56707670
>does YouTube re-render your video and host several copies of the same video?
Yes.
>That would take up enormous amounts of space just to host the lower resolutions, wouldn't it?
Nah, they use very heavy-handed compression techniques. Also disk space is dirt-cheap these days.

>What are the differences between motherboards and power units?
Motherboard allows PC parts to communicate with eachother and PSU only gives them power. It's possible to have a built-in PSU in a motherboard but that usually requires an external power prick to convert AC to DC. Desktops usually prefer seperate PSU's to make motherboards less complex.

>Why is it important to keep computer components cool? Does the hardware perform worse when they are hot?
If computer parts get too hot they can get damaged. What usually happens is that a capacitor leaks it's contents all over your motherboard or some soldering melts and moves around before cooling down.

>Normally my computer runs below 30°, but it shot to 84° the other day when I was using the CPU at 100% for one hour.

85C is within the acceptable temperatures of most CPUs, although on the warm side. Most Intel processors have a TJ Max of 95~105C and they will thermal throttle before getting to dangerous temperatures.

It even transcodes the video for the original resolution, even if it's already in the format they use.

>>56707716
It's probably because crop is an invalid argument. crop is a video filter, you have to put -vf in front of it.

Whatever program you're using is trying to convert them to WAV, which is uncompressed. This takes up more space, so you get less audio time per CD.

Question about math that apparently is too stupid for /sqt/ on /sci/. Are exact differential equations always a sum of two partial derivatives, or can they also be a subtraction?

I've seen them like M(x,y)+N(x,y)=0, but could they be like M(x,y)-N(x,y)=0? I'm guessing that not, but I need to be sure.

>>56707746
Then you're stuck with the 80 minutes time limit. If your card has aux/3.5mm connection then you could plug an external music player to there and play music that way. Or just get a new car stereo that can play out of USB sticks.

>>56707904
Depends. Make a diagram of your cooling setup.

>>56707904
You could buy a fan controller, plug them all into that and use it to reduce rpm's. I doubt it's a problem with the number of fans you have.

But you'll probably manage fine without one of them plugged in. Monitor your temps, perhaps try using a stresstest program to see how high they climb.

not mine but same cooling and placement, nzxt h440 case. there's three more fans near the harddrive trays but they dont make near as much fan noise as that lone one on the side.

>>56708004
Damn, good point, hadn't considered that.

>>56708009
If the back fan is a problem you could try replacing it or reducing it's speed. Perhaps unplug it and replace it with one fan from front of the case.

>>56708009
That case is the one with the shitty cooling vents right? I would relocate the rad to the front and axe the top fans since all they do is smash air against the top panel and create turbulence. Be prepared for shittier GPU temps though. You could also do what >>56708038

That has more to do with IPS panel lottery than the specific model.

I think I figure it out.
I was looking at the UD68, not the UD88 (because the 88 is not available in NZ yet... Fucking nVidia shills over here forcing freesync out of the market)
the 68 is a much cheaper construction than the 88 and the 88 probably uses binned panels.

I've heard (and stands to reason) that capping your framerate on games that far exceed it is much better for your temps and can reduce stuttering/tearing. However peoples opinions seem to drastically differ on what I should actually cap it at.

I have a 60hz monitor.

I've seen multiple answers of 58, 59, 65, and 121 (double + 1).

For a 60hz monitor, what is the god damned ideal framerate cap? I'm setting this in the driver for all games.

>>56708602
It did for me

Idk that's why I asked

>>56708417
i'm not a bio- or sciencefag, but there is a distro called "Scientific Linux" or something like that.

But it probably doesn't matter a lot. Go with Debian or Ubuntu, and you should be fine. If the producer of the software you wanna use don't specify/recommend anything on their website, I don't think it will matter.

>>56708666

saving power/reducing temps? lower the better, naturally
for minimizing tearing, use vsync. if you want to render faster than your monitor (for example, to reduce input lag), then use some multiple (like 120, 180, 240, etc), to increase the chances of the monitor drawing a [near-]full frame (aka, not torn)

>>56708417
that's one of those things i'd make a leddit google search for, some of them are competent sometimes and point you in the right direction

>>56708664
wth ive never heard of capping it on a 60 hz monitor
why would you want 1 or 2 frames less? I dont see what you really mean dude

I did, I'll try again to see if I can duplicate it

>>56708543
I had that case, and now I have the Antec 1200, and I really dislike both of them. My main issues are that they're super heavy and the dust filters are a major hassle to remove for cleaning.

But for $35 it's probably an okay deal.

>>56708753
capping it at 60 usually results in more tearing than normal, something capping 1 or 2 below refresh is said to help with. Supposedly if you both cap at 59 and enable vsync you get zero tearing and eliminate most of the input lag vsync brings with it. If you cap at double it's also meant to help with input lag assuming you can actually reach double.

These are all just things I've heard, in my limited testing and research I can't find a solid demonstrated answer on whether any of this stuff does a damned thing.

>>56708980
CPUs are typically released every year to 18 months but the performance gains have been minimal the past 5 years. As far as GPUs go, this gen isn't bad. Next release is projected to see more performance increase than this release, but this release saw greater performance gains than last gen. It's a personal call whether or not to upgrade the GPU

>>56709029
why even come to this thread and ask a question if all you wanted was validation for your shit tier purchase? enjoy your waste of money and no content.

>>56708980
It can be a bit irregular. Intel pops out a new generation every year, and they're always a few percent more efficient at the same clock. GPUs tend to be a noticable jump every generation but they're less often and less predictable (usually about every 2 years give or take). This last jump was a solid one, so I would definitely avoid last generation. CPUs age much more slowly than GPUs in terms of usabitlility. As a general rule, don't wait for anything unless it's a very short wait for a large upgrade.

I have an assignment to make a system for one, but how do you make a searchable tree that isn't binary?
You could, I suppose, have intermediate nodes e.g. "Hamm" is the parent of "Hamme" is the parent of "Hammer" and you just look for a child with the next letter, but that doesn't seem right.

>>56709693
The general structure is a node with various datatypes within, written in C as a typedef'd structure. One or more of these data fields is a pointer to the memory address of the next level down. So for a quad tree, each parent node has 4 'children'. So there are 4 members of each parent node (generally an array of pointers to the node structure declared as struct node * child [4] for example).

You can then access each successive child through the parent. Through syntax like parent->child[x]

Hope this helps a bit

Outside of that, which I have been doing for a year.

Do aftermarket coolers improve motherboard temps as well or just CPU ?

>>56709816
My problem isn't the technical stuff, it's the concept of a general tree.
Quadtrees are a perfectly sensible concept.
However, my computer science course has us create abominations in Java, with most of the code prewritten in a way that really limits what we can do.

In this case, I am making a tree with the following properties for each node:
>has a string as its arbitrary property
>indefinite number of children
>reference to parent (lolwhy)

If the root of a subtree is "harambe", which has the children "didn't", "deserve", and "to", where on earth do I put "die"?

>>56709943
Disable hybrid boot / fast startup.

>>56709891
Sorry I don't really understand the question at this point. If it has to have an indefinite number of children then 'die' could either be a child of the subroot (which makes grammatical sense); or of its children 'didnt', 'deserve' and 'to'.

You have the freedom to make each level have as many children as you want.

I'm sure Java has the tools for this (it's basically a dynamic array of child node pointers).

Is your physical IP address visible to mods or can they only see your MAC address

>>56710305

>>56710366
just googled about connecting to pc. i just want to know if its a good sub now.

>>56710376
>>56710305
Technically IPv6 with auto-configuration and without privacy extensions is an exception.
Then your MAC address is part of the IPv6 address.

>>56709983
GT 640 is slightly less slow

>>56710388
So IPV6 is less private than IPV4? Is there a good way to fix that?

>>56710425
>So IPV6 is less private than IPV4? Is there a good way to fix that?
IPv6 has a Privacy Extension that randomized your address.
Recent Windows and Linux versions enable it by default so don't worry

Saw a recipe and it specified to heat your skillet over medium heat, and wait for it to get real hot before putting anything else on it. But if you're not putting anything else on it then why not heat it at the highest level possible and then turn it down to medium before putting food on it? Is there any reason this would be worse than doing it their way?

Why does Windows 10 randomly fail to start up (or not) when peripherals (the culprit changes every time because Windows) are plugged in?

I think it started happening after the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which I think had people experiencing the same at the time at least.

Now I suspect it happens after every update.

To be clear, it always gets all the way to the black screen with the dots going around in a circle. It just gets stuck there.

>>56710449

>>56710491
I'm patient. It's not really a pressing matter as it may or may not happen every time I turn on the computer since -- before I turn it on -- the computer exists in a superposition of either "will boot properly" or "won't boot properly". Turning it on collapses the computer wave function into a single possibility.

>>56710425
or just run a DHCPv6 server like a sane person.

>>56710467
This used to happen to me when I first installed W10, specifically when I was using hybrid start-up (in other words, not a full restart or shift-shutdown clean startup)

Doesn't happen anymore and I can't remember what I did to fix it though. I might have changed a piece of hardware or unplugged something in the mean time, not sure...

>>56710731
Oh wait, now that I think of it, I actually think it was the other way around. Hybrid startup always worked fine, but when I did a clean restart it sometimes failed to boot. Which seems the same in your case as well if it's happening after updates (which usually will force a clean restart.)

>>56710731
>>56710762
I do have a tendency to click the restart button which appears after an update.

Is there any app that can upscale my whole screen in real-time using a nice algorithm like waifu2x or NNEDI?

Am I liable if one of my bodyguards assaults someone? They're hired from an outside contracting agency so I would assume that agency would be liable but want to be sure.

should I:
A. buy overpriced 2011 motherboard and used E5-2680 off ebay
B. buy a 2011-3 motherboard and E5-1620V3, both new
C. wait for zen and hope it won't be delayed until next year, and hope that windows 7 will work on it (looks like it won't be supported)

I'd have preferred 8 cores and ECC memory, but if I get a 2011-3 motherboard, then I can only afford the cheapest quad-core if I buy retail. is it worth buying engineering sample Xeons off ebay, or are they shit?

>>56711354
For what purpose

>>56711512
Thought it would be nice for visual novels which tend to have the sort of art that benefits a lot from such algorithms as well as tending to be in low resolution and it not really mattering even if my framerate takes a hit from costly upscaling algorithms since it's all static sprites and text anyway.

>>56711304
Alright thanks Ill most likely do that then.
Is it possible to get the wifi working? I have a few small devices I wouldnt mind using the wireless with aswell.

>>56711549
you could potentially record the part of your screen the game occupies, and stream it locally to your media player for it to upscale
this'd probably work easier if you have two displays though, unless you can also find a way to get your mouse/keyboard inputs to go to the game without getting in the way of the media player
latency doesn't matter much for VNs

>>56711549
Technically it's possible to do something like that but I suppose no one made a finished program for this because waifu2x is not just a fancy scaling algorithm, it's using a neural network, which means you'll get only 1 frame per 3-4 seconds on a $500 GPU

What's objectively the best After Effects version?

>>56712420
Most videogame consoles have strict rules about what kind of code is able to run on the system, in order to make stuff like hacking and piracy much harder. So the first step in having a workable hack for the system is generally to find an entry point in some vulnerable piece of software that can then be used to trick the software into running some arbitrary code, namely your hack.

Of course if you want to do things like modify firmware, bypass DRM, or other things the system creator really doesn't want you touching, you'll also need to find another exploit to elevate the permissions you've got to a high enough level, so there's more to it than simply finding a workable entry point in one piece of software. But that's definitely a major hurdle that often stands in the way of releasing useful hacks for systems.

>>56712551
Not sure I was clear enough in the first part so to explain a bit better, the consoles usually require every piece of code (whether a game or some kind of native app like a browser or whatever) have a cryptographic signature in order to be allowed to run on the system. Game developers must sign their software appropriately so that it can be sold and run on consoles. Generally in order to make unauthorized code run, you either need to crack the keys used to sign stuff (very difficult, usually impossible unless they fucked up majorly somewhere) or piggyback off another piece of software that has already been signed. The latter is generally much easier, and that is where "exploit games" or other things like browser exploits come into play.

Just go to disk management and delete the partitions that ubuntu made. I would make a repair cd though, as grub has probably taken over your boot process. Either of these should work:

Can someone please explain what is happening here? I normally play Overwatch on high at 60fps with VSync enabled with no error or hassle whatsoever. Today when I launched the game I barely get 40fps with VSync enabled and if I disable it I cap at 60 somehow and experience incredible screen tearing, my GPU is also running cooler than normal, around 10c. What is happening?

hey /g/ Don't judge me, I was just thinking about doing this

PS: I live in a shitty country in South America, everything costs 20x more than in the US..

- Buy used hardware for cheap
- Buy the same hardware as new
- Swap the new hardware for the old hardware in the new hardware's box
- Return it, get your money back and stay with the new purchased hardware for the price of the used one

Example: CPU's don't have a serial number written in it, what could go wrong?

This is an autistic question but how do I manage bookmarks?

I thought I'd use them to save pages for later but now it's turned into this massive archive of stuff I found insteresting but never looked into again. Like, how do I even wade through that shit?

I'm picking parts for my new desktop, so I looked at hard drive failure rates here: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-q1-2016/

according to this, the most reliable 3tb hard drive is the HDS5C3030ALA630 model

but: on the amazon page for it, a review claims the part isn't actually that model. Also, newegg has TWO separate list stings for that hard drive, and the only one of the two listings that has reviews has a fuck ton of bad reviews saying the drive failed them

https://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-Deskstar-HDS5C3030ALA630-Internal-DESKSTAR/dp/B00684XVFS

>>56715976
What about restocking fees? Also if it's hard disks or GPUs they can know v easily unless you flash the bios. That's also assuming the used hardware is in mint condition. They also have serial numbers. CPUs too(embedded). But that's assuming the retailer is not completely retarded, which is your best bet. Best to do it far away from where you live.

>>56716085
Make folders

>>56715976
that's low but i guess it could work as long as no serials and stuff.

I just want to upgrade my pc, I was thinking about doing this with cpu/board/ram..

But I'm too much of a pussy, so I'm probably not gonna do it.

Also how could they tell if the CPU is new or not? where do you check the SN?

Thanks for replying

>>56716161
Can you clarify a bit more?

I know the higher the storage or number of platters the higher the failure rate is, but going by those tests, that model has a really low rate of failure even compared to 2tb and 1tb drives

How long should an HDD last? I've had one from 2007 and I'm starting to worry that it's gonna to die soon.

>>56717156
Last year I had an hard drive from 2009 die on me while backing it up , I could feel it dying for a while beforehands , like intense slow downs during transfers , some files I couldnt even access anymore , other took literally minutes to open.

At this point it was too late however , if I tried to /tree the root of my hard drive it couldnt get passed the first few dirs without freezing , chkdsk did the same shit.

If you are currently experiencing the following I suggest you extract the most important files first than try going for a full backup.

Generally speaking if you think a hard drive is dying , it is.

Putting Windows 10 on my gaymen PC. Best way to debloat/debotnet it?

>>56717156
Hard drives usually die at a rate of 5% or so per year. There's a peak for the first few weaks you own it, and as the drive gets older failure rates go up slightly. A drive can fail at any time, and you should always have a backup.

>>56717329
In general 1 port=1 monitor. And since all but the cheapest cards usually have at least 2 outputs, attempting something like a Displayport daisychain would not be your easiest option anyway. You can mirror the contents of one monitor onto another pretty easily. You can also have the iGPU output to to a second monitor if your motherboard supports it, but I don't recommend that.

>>56717684
Your monitor is probably turning the sound passthrough on and off based on whether it detects and active signal. Unless there's a way to disable that (unlikely) there's not much you can do but run an extension from your computer instead.

the os doesn't have a factory reset. there should be a factory image/backup on the partition. All you have to do is select that image/backup as the restore source and restore. If that doesn't exist just visit the website and look for that model and download the factory image.

VPN allows you to do a lot of things covertly, but requires that you trust your provider with all the things you do on the internet while you're connected to them. It also lets you bypass some country content restrictions. Banks and even social media accounts/email go nuts if you log in from one. A seedbox allows you to upload well without affecting your local internet connection, which is great for private trackers. It depends on your use case, but if you're strictly torrenting, a seedbox is probably better.

https://torrentfreak.com/top-10-most-popular-torrent-sites-of-2016-160102/

The seedbox you get depends on what features you want and how much you're willing to spend. They have a lot of threads about it on r/piracy

How to backup 15GB on a phone if USB and Bluetooth wont work?
No SD either.

Im considering reviving an old laptop with a i5 sandy bridge CPU, hardware base everything works albeit painfully slow.

I would be used for shitposting, ancient gaming, and occasionally for office software.
>Too poor to afford a new laptop

>>56715976
Did some research and this wouldn't be possible since the CPU has a batch number printed on it

It would be too easy for them to realize the cpu's had been swapped

SSD alone would do unless you only have 2GB.

>>56718545
Yes, my main concern are torrents, but i also care about general privacy.
>private trackers
While those are nice, idk if doing the interview for that gaysex club + getting a more expensive seedbox rather than cheap 4-7$/month VPN + public trackers is worth it.
Also, no idea about seedboxes, do i simply login via a web interface and operate on it via RDP?

>>56718065
How big are you wanting to go, and what resolution? Are you wanting it more as a tv or for documents/websurfing?

>>56718369
If you're buying used from some random person I'd go for the full wipe/reinstall from a disk and skip even the recovery partition, in case it's been infected. Just make sure you have the key before you get started.

>>56718226
Voiding the warenty, a soft/hard brick in extreme cases, but that's unusual (check the guide your using to root for known risks). You might disable android pay and a handfull of other 3rd party services. There's also risk of getting malware from the process if you use something shady. Many people still find it worth it.

>>56718388
Things look best when the resolution is matched exactly. HD means 720p, FHD means 1080p. So 720p would look best on an HD screen. The relationship between 1080p and 4k is a little different.

>>56718723
They'll give you instructions on how to log in. Managing the torrent client is pretty simple. And usually downloading them is just a matter of setting up filezilla or something similar. You can ask /ptg/ about other ways of getting into trackers. They mostly focus on specialized ones there, but general ones are fine for most people, and tend to be easier to get into.

If you installed them as part of a portable OS or browser probably, but not on their own without local installation.

It's kind of like AOSP is to Android like Chromium is to Chrome. AOSP is the stock android source code, and everything else like cyanogenmod or samsung's or amazon's modified versions are offshoots of that.

All versions of chrome are "chromium based". But what people mean when they say AOSP based rom is one that really hasn't been modified or had things added to it. Stock loader, addons, code, layout etc. It's pretty much vanilla android.

>>56719168
AFAIK portable apps don't usually support addons officially, but they'll often work anyway. You may have to google around to find a workaround, and there's not a 100% sucess rate.

https://www.raymond.cc/blog/how-to-enable-flash-support-in-firefox-portable/

Depending on what's been changed in the apps, older solutions might have stopped working for newer releases.
