Did you even see what OP posted before you started spewing shit?

>>56790890
Nice cans OP. I've got the 990s and it has taken alot of isolation to stop my DIY mic picking up audio leaks.

>>56790890
I wonder how good that mic can be for 63cents

>>56790890
>look it up on amazon
what's the difference between the 250 ohms and 80 ohms version? I looked up ohms but it was just general technical stuff, nothing I could understand in the context of headphones

>>56790890
>Not 1, but 2 wires hanging off your face!
Just buy a desk mic

>life hacks

>>56794789
The wires are zip tied together. It's the same as just having one you fag

>>56794815
electrical tape would work better (make it less annoying and more bendable than ziptie)

>>56790890
the intruction pics don't match the products fuckass

>>56794842
also this

>>56792096
i bought a desk mic for 78 cents and it literally sounds better than all the turtlebeaches and razers i come across online

>>56794815
That's stupid. Just buy a V-Moda BoomPro. No MacGyver shit.

I thought that was a meme mic for people who didn't know what quality mics were?

>>56794952
Probably is, but it does it's job, works fine under Linux without any tweaking and sounds awesome.

I'd buy it again, meme or not.

>>56794898

Buy intel and nvidia

Your router needs to have 8 antennas and be able to walk around your room
Buy a Casio F91-W

Say everything is a meme

>>56795003
Mumble has the best codec and lowest latency while being minimal.

Host a murmur server for a week and try it out. I've been using it for 2 years now and I haven't had problems.

>>56790953

>have to pay them for a server
why

>>56795182
Why can't you host it on your desktop?

>>56795182
If you have to port forward there are a lot of tutorials of how to do so with google.
If you don't have access to the router or modem then you're SOL.
If you have the false information that you have to pay for a sever then you're wrong. While you install mumble it will ask if you want to install murmur (these are the sever files) and launch murmur and editing the config files.

+rep me thanks

the quality is so shit and it's high latency. Get fucked.

Here are the scripts I use to convert images to static webms if you're interested:

JPG

for %%f IN (*.jpg) do (
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i "%%~nf.jpg" -an -c:v libvpx -qmin 16 -qmax 16 -crf 16 -quality best -threads 4 -t 2 -r 1  "%%~nf.webm"
)

PNG

for %%f IN (*.png) do (
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i "%%~nf.png" -an -c:v libvpx -qmin 16 -qmax 16 -crf 16 -quality best -threads 4 -t 2 -r 1  "%%~nf.webm"
)

>>56796242
I like the way you think brav!!

>>56796926

Please nigga, i can use it in a factory and nobody hears any background noise. If nothing else it has the best filters by far.

Here's a life hack you autistic fucks:
Read the hack, if you like it use it, if you don't like it, don't. Post another life hack.
It is not necessary to discuss the first post in life hack thread for the whole fucking thread.
You would be doing the world a favour if none of you cunts had mics or keyboards

webm for still images SUCKS

>>56797290
The whole point is to show how cool it would be if 4chan supported webp since webp uses code from the VP8 codec used in 4chan webms.

>>56797289
>5/10 (literally half) don't support it

Are you even 18? Because you're not allowed to post on 4chan unless you're 18 or older.

Here is a general purpose GIF to WEBM conversion script:

for %%f IN (*.gif) do (
ffmpeg -i "%%~nf.gif" -an -c:v libvpx -qmax 40 -crf 20 "%%~nf.webm"
)
pause

I think it has the best balance of quality and file size reduction imho.

It is whether you like it or not. Go use Brave or ice weasel if you're that paranoid about le botnet meme.

the photoshop plugin basically doesn't work. so all this shit proves = support on paper, and not irl

>>56797422
Like i said, nobody cares about chrome faggots like you, most of browsers don't support webp, so it's a dead format.

Grab mogrify from imagemagick and use this script to drop photos taken from your cellphone onto to rotate and remove the orientation tag so you don't post sideways photos.

@echo off
FOR %%A IN (%*) DO (
    zmogrify -auto-orient %%A
    echo mogrify -auto-orient %%A
)

If you're ever in a long as webpage or thread, instead of using the arrow keys, slowly scrolling, or clicking and dragging the scroll bar: simply click on an empty part of your webpage with your mousewheel and while not letting go, pull your mouse down.

Lol op is master troll. 200 comments and all related to OP image. No one has even posted any other life hacks.

>>56797881
i literally never use my scrollwheel, only the mwheel click. am i autistic?

No, just smart. The mouse wheel was a mistake, it should have been just a button.

I have a free scrolling mouse wheel, so I just spin it.
