Just getting into battery powered electronics

Can pic related also relay data?
It would be stupid to have one micro usb for charging only and then another for data only, I want them consolidated to one port

>Also, what happens when I sage my own thread when I create it?
nothing, it still appears on top of the board

I wanted to use OSX's native Disk Utility application to make a bootable USB with BunsenLabs Linux on it. I did this all the time on Lion, but now I'm on Sierra and they changed the DU app completely and I can't make it do shit. Google-fu only gets me instructions on making Bootable OSX USB's, which is useless to me.

What do?

If install windows fundamentals for legacy pc's will it run faster? What about microxp?

>Can pic related also relay data?
Not without modification, from the schematic it shows only the 5V and GND connected on the micro USB, so you could possibly tack on cables to the D+/D- lines off the back of the connector.

>>57244602
El Capitan Disk Utility is shit, you can download a patched version of the proper Yosemite one here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/480-disk-utility-patched-v2/

Or just use unetbootin, it'll probably work.

I'm having trouble laying down the parts needed for a CPU+GPU watercooled build.

I have absouletly no idea where to start.

Any feedback on this build appriciated

>>57244802
You should be using top end components before you even consider custom loop water cooling.

should i install windows 8.1 ? Can I make it look like win 7 ? Is it faster?

>>57244873
What doesn't look top end?

I already own the 980

>>57244973
Pretty much everything
You'd be better off spending the cost of a water cooling setup on a new GPU.

>>57244802
Most non-reference video cards don't have waterblocks made for them. You're better off getting a reference GPU.

You'll need:
>cpu waterblock
>gpu waterblock
>Reservoir (you can get these with built in pumps)
>pump (I recommend a D5 pump)
>fittings
>radiator(s)
>tubing
>distilled water + dye (optional)

Just letting you know now, watercooling makes almost no difference to performance. It'll make your parts run a bit cooler so they might last longer, and you might get a little more overclocking headroom, that's it. For these meagre benefits it costs a shitload of money and an even bigger shitload of time, not to mention that for it to run smoothly you'll need regular maintenance and bi-yearly drain/flush/refill.
If you want a 'silent rig' then don't touch watercooling, you're better off just having a massive tower cooler and fans that only come on if the temps are high.
Don't bother with motherboard or RAM watercooling either, that's just for idiots who want to show off.

A general guide to radiators is to have 1x 120mm/140mm radiator per component you're cooling. So in your case you just want one 240mm/280mm radiator.

You will need 8 fittings (2 for cpu, 2 for gpu, 2 for rad, 2 for res/pump combo), but I would recommend buying a few spare
Compression fittings look nice with the screw on sleeve etc but barb fittings are functional and cheaper.
Don't forget to match the diameter of your fittings to the diameter of your tubing
It would make your life easier to have a valve at the bottom of the loop for easy draining.
Use flexible tubing, hard tubing is again for showoffs only and a huge pain to work with.
Dye's can gunk up over time and leave a gummy residue in your water blocks, reducing performance. Red dye in particular is famous for this.

There are millions of guides on youtube about how to assemble and fill a liquid loop, go nuts.

What's the best motherboard that supports a LGA 1150 socket CPU? My one is crapping out.

With ffmpeg can I make a webm of just a portion of the visible part of the video? How?

>what is linux
No wonder /g/ is the worst board in 4chan

I'm trying to make some webms in ffmpeg using the following for my test


ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -an -c:v libvpx -ss 00:00:00.000 -t 00:00:05.000 -vf scale=500:-1 -b:v 4500K -maxrate:v 4500K -bufsize 2100K -rc_init_occupancy 3000K -fs 22528 -metadata title="test" -lag-in-frames 16 -auto-alt-ref 1 -quality best -qcomp 1 -threads 3 -slices 8 output.webm

but it only encodes a single frame and stops. This is just for 4chan, what am I doing wrong?

I don't really know about -rc_int_occupancy and -bufsize, I just pput a similar file in webm for retards and looked at what arguments it made up. how do I go about calculating them?

>>57245447
it was the -fs command that was there for no reason. I'm an idiot. still would like some help on the other stuff though

best password manager?

>>57244397
ffmpeg gives me this error for audio:

>Encoder (codec mp3) not found for output stream

and this errors whenever I try to convert mp4 to webm:

Encoder (codec vp8) not found for output stream


Been uninstalling - reinstalling - attempting to enable codecs - for fucking hours

how do i fix this

using linux mint

>>57245491
what commands are you using?

>>57245483
>Giving all your passwords to a third party program

I never understood why people need password managers. It's easy enough to remember everything.
>Make a base password
>Add a 3-5 characters after the base password depending on what site the account is on
>Easy to remember

For example, let's say your base password is p@1nk0lo0, and this is for your Google account.
Just add ggl or goog or something to the end of your password.

>>57245491
>Encoder (codec mp3) not found for output stream
libmp3lame
>Encoder (codec vp8) not found for output stream
libvpx

maybe you should have used an internet search engine instead of fucking around for "hours"

>>57245491
do you have the latest version of ffmpeg straight from the site, or are you using a version bundled with other software?

>>57245516
>what commands are you using?
just basic

for audio rip:
>ffmpeg -i face_cap.mp4 -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192 -f mp3 myaudio.mp3


for conversion
>ffmpeg -i face_cap.mp4 myaudio.webm

>>57245568
both of those are in the latest release.

>>57245447
>-b:v 4500K -maxrate:v 4500K -bufsize 2100K -rc_init_occupancy 3000K
are you streaming? if not, why use constrained VBR?

>>57245597
that's cool, but you wrote "mp3" instead of "libmp3lame", and "vp8" instead of "libvpx"

>>57245583
>-ab 192
you probably meant "192k", "192" is 192 bps

>>57245576
i've tried both.


Got it straight from the site installed it, uninstalled it and then tried to manually configre

maybe im just completely failing at installing progs in linux

>>57245624
i didnt write those errors. that was copy paste from the terminal

>>57245583
>>ffmpeg -i face_cap.mp4 -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192 -f mp3 myaudio.mp3
if the mp4 already contains an mp3 stream, you can extract it without transcoding it

ffmpeg -i face_cap.mp4 -map 0:a:0 -c copy myaudio.mp3

zero quality loss this way

>>57245607
no i wanted constant bitrate

so should it look more like


ffmpeg -i ow.mp4 -an -c:v libvpx -ss 00:14:47.000 -t 00:00:07.000 -vf scale=600:-1 -minrate 3218K -maxrate 3218k -b:v 3218k -metadata title="test" -lag-in-frames 16 -auto-alt-ref 1 -quality best -qcomp 1 -threads 3 -slices 8 output.webm

Since this is a stupid questions thread. How do you the programming box thing?

Is there an emulator for the Xbox One?

>>57245682
with such a specific bitrate, it looks more like you just want a specific output filesize, in that case, you should use 2-pass VBR, not CBR

also consider "-quality good -cpu-used 1" instead of "-quality best", from the use of "-threads 3", it seems you're using a rather low end cpu, so these will speed it up a lot without being too much worse

>>57245708
{code}{/code} with (square) brackets "[]"
it's in the rules, which you read, right?

How good is the moto G3 against the Moto G1?

>>57246038
you still need to specify a bitrate, this becomes the average bitrate over the whole video when doing 2-pass

the idea is you get your specific average, like with CBR, but also it has the advantage of adjusting the bitrate according to content, for a more consistent quality, like VBR/CRF

for video it's fine as the scaling wont be annoying if you're not too close to the monitor.

for gaming you'd need hardware to play on that resolution, or use a lower res and upscale which could look weird, or play with black borders.

I am thinking about learning COBOL. I see there's a couple of offers in my area, and I guess they also pay pretty well.
Do you /g/uys think it's a good idea?
It also doesn't seem very difficult to learn, so worst case scenario, I'm not risking much.

Thoughts on COBOL

How do I learn to code?

Emphasis on the "learn" part. I keep trying like a retard but there seems to be just something I'm not getting.

Am I supposed to just memorize the vocabulary and interactions? What mindset should I be approaching this with? It's not like I'm shown a hammer, then shown what it does, and then my mind is filled with ideas. I'm looking at what these tutorials are giving me and not seeing how it all fits together, and thus as I keep going I'm having a broken foundation which eventually puts me in "what the fuck am I reading" mode. Usually happens shortly after basic loops.

Conceptually I can understand (roughly) how things work as they'd relate to physical machines or recipes or whatever, but actually getting into the coding is confusing as shit.

Also, I don't understand how to practice coding. I keep seeing it related to "solving problems" and doing that as practice, but I rarely have such problems. Most things I would like to code are horribly out of reach of near-starting skills from what I understand. Is this a lack of understanding how to apply things, or a lack of ideas?

It's like I'm missing some integral knowledge, mindset, understanding, or something, and if I could just work out what it is then I'd be pretty OK.


I'm one of those retards who normies think is good with computers just through having used them for long enough that I can work out how to unstuck other peoples' shit, but I'd like to be better than that.

>>57249410
Just find yourself a project, something that really interests you and work on it. You have tons of information, most of the time it's even pretty good quality knowledge.
Just work on it, make mistakes, learn how to overcome these mistakes (bonus points for not repeating them).
Just find something you're sure you are going to finish.
If you really can't find anything then maybe it's not for you. Programming isn't about anything else but finding interesting problems and solving them.

>>57249480
Maybe I'm not seeing problems where problems may be? I'm not sure. Most problems I solve outside the PC realm tend to be productivity related or comparing costs of items before purchasing. The former I don't think I could use programs for simply due to the fact that if I were, I'd have to basically write an entire research paper to figure out the numbers. The latter would take a lot of time to set up, and the lack of constants or complex formulae would just result in slowing down my math instead of improving it.

But that's actually the sideline to the main issue: I'm attempting to overcome the main mistake I have which is getting lost while learning, but I'm not sure the solution. I get into a "what the fuck am I reading?" spot too early on to really make anything with.

2 stupid C++ questions:

Given:

template <typename T> class BinarySearchTree
{
protected:
    class Node
    {
    public:
        Node(void);
        Node(T const*);
        ~Node(void);

    private:
        T* data;
        Node *left, *right;
    };

public:
    BinarySearchTree(void);
    ~BinarySearchTree(void);

    bool contains(T const*);
    bool insert(T const*);
    bool remove(T const*);
};

template <typename T> class AVLTree : public BinarySearchTree<T>
{
public:
    AVLTree(void);
    ~AVLTree(void);

    bool insert(T const*);
    bool remove(T const*);
};

1. Will the private members of the Node class (data, left, right) be accessible to AVLTree, despite being private?

2. In general, how C++ handle inheritance with templates?

I remember reading a warning about doing it years ago on SO but I couldn't remember or find the article. I just seem to recall there being a catch.

because half the possible values are negative, half are positive
if you had the full 32bit range both in positive and negative, you'd need 33bits (the additional bit denotes whether the number is positive or negative)

Add 4chan to your hosts file, that way you dont have to do a dns lookup to get the IP. You'll have to add the DNS/content servers too though. Other solution is to add host to your header when requesting pages via IP, but that requires some knowhow.

Somehow I managed to solve the problem, but I'd an explanation on what actually happened in case it happens again and if I should expect my current drive to die in the near future.

Basically my laptop is booting into the Automatic Repair/"Repairing disk errors this may take over an hour" screens, but it's been 4 hours and it's still allegedly repairing the errors. Based on some searches I've done, people have had the same issue where it's lasted days or weeks on the same screen. I went into the BIOS and set it to boot to a USB with Xubuntu on it, and instead of running Xubuntu, I chose the option to check the disk for errors. It loads into the Xubuntu start-up screen and starts checking the disk, and finally returns that there are no disk errors. Upon restarting it booted me back up into Windows without taking me to the Automatic Repair screen and everything appeared to be fine.

My question is: Is this indicative that my hard drive is failing and that I need to backup everything now. If yes, is a simple image back up fine, or should I try to clone everything instead? Also, what would cause windows to think the disk has errors, but would not cause Xubuntu to recognize those errors?

For some background: I'm using a toaster-tier laptop running Windows 8 that I only use to play a single game on, for which I have to do a light overclock of the GPU to actually be able to play. The hard drive failed 3 years ago about 6 months after I bought it, so I sent it back to the manufacturer to be repaired and it's been more or less working ever since. However, I can't turn it off because it frequently requires multiple restarts to even load Windows, 90% of the restarts just load into the manufacturer's load-in screen and stays there.

>>57255023
they don't really make HDDs that small anymore. There's some fixed overhead that goes into making a drive, so once the price of a drive would drop below the level where they can make some money on it they stop making that capacity. With desktop HDDs 1TB is about the minimum these days.

Really retarded question but I need to know if either of these two motherboard support DDR3 Memory.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130940

If not, I need a motherboard that supports DDR3 for the i3-6100 CPU.

Thank you.

I just used this USB last night to install win 7. Is that really likely?

One big difference is this Mobo uses UEFI or whatever. It's like bios but it looks like it's own mini OS. I've never used or heard of this kind of bios motherboard start up. So I don't know shit but I feel like that is the issue. But idk.

>>57255239
http://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#L=3&sort=a8&s=30&page=1&X=321,119999

the mobos in this list support the i3-6100 & DDR3 mammary

>>57255305
Also now when I try to load the os install from USB I'll sometimes get it going except my mouse and keyboard do not work as soon as I get to the first set of options, or the screen is frozen I can't tell since I can't do any input.

And sometimes i get a blue screen. Is something installed improperly hardware wise maybe? Anything I should prob be looking at?

You can't, twitch streams audio+video as a single file.

You can actually.
In the mobile twitch app, you can choose audio only for data/low bandwidth usage.

This piece of WebGL code works great, except that it doesn't render anything.

Might there be something wrong with these two methods in particular?
They're currently the worst coded, since I'm going to change them later to not have a specific object hardcoded in.

function drawScene(program) {
    gl.viewport(0, 0, gl.viewportWidth, gl.viewportHeight);
    gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
   
    renderBuffer(triangleVertexPositionBuffer, program);
}
 
function renderBuffer(buffer, program){
    gl.useProgram(program);
    gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
    gl.vertexAttribPointer(program.vertexPositionAttribute, buffer.itemSize, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
    gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLES, 0, buffer.numItems);
}

I've taken a lot of images, they're all in jpeg format, and all 3-6MB in size.

I know i can manually resize and compress them, but is there any way to automate this? Specially the compression. I don't care too much about resolution if I can get my massive 20MP photos down to 1MB each without too much loss.

I'm aware of lossless and lossy compression. I'm specifically looking for something with very little lossy compression.

alright so I set up a proxy through ssh because why not
I have made a script that automatically starts the proxy when connecting to untrusted networks
however i'm having trouble killing it automatically

basically i have a command that chews up the output of netstat and gives me the pid of the process that is open and listening for the proxy

how would I pipe the output, lets say 2344 into

sudo kill -9 {numbers gotten from command}

would I have to do something like:

sudo kill -9 $(netstat asldkfalsdfj | grep | something else)

Is this looking about right?

Is there any way to check to make sure a graphics card is slotted into the MB properly, aside from the obvious of "it uses the graphic card's graphics instead of the motherboard's integrated graphics"?

>>57256554
If it works its plugged in properly
It will have basic functionality even without drivers

>>57256572
w-what? it's an i7 with 4 cores, I read you use the number of real cores -1 to speed it up.

>>57256600
libvpx only encodes with 1 core.

Anyway, you should use a bit rate of 4,900kbit/s instead of 4,700.

Formula for figuring maximum bitrate in a 4chan webm:

3,072 * 8 / [length of video in seconds.miliseconds rounded to nearest hundred].

>>57256632
ok thanks I was going just under because when i was using WFR if you put a 3mb filesize it would always wind up slightly over.

Also I'm brand new to terminal commands. In order to enter both the passes at once i copied pasted a bunch arguments of someone else ffmpeg arguments

so it's currently

ffmpeg -i test.mkv -an -c:v libvpx -ss 00:00:00.000 -t 00:00:15.000 -vf scale=900:-1 -metadata title="test" -lag-in-frames 0 -auto-alt-ref 1 -quality best -qcomp 0  -slices 8 -b:v 1500k -bufsize 1500 -crf 10 -f webm -pass 1 /dev/null && \
ffmpeg -i test.mkv -an -c:v libvpx -ss 00:00:00.000 -t 00:00:15.000 -vf scale=900:-1 -metadata title="test" -lag-in-frames 0 -auto-alt-ref 1 -quality best -qcomp 0  -slices 8 -b:v 1500k -bufsize 1500 -crf 10 -pass 2 12.webm

the /dev/null && \ part seems to make it work. I understand the /dev/null prevents error messages from showing, is it the && \ that allows multiple lines to be entered at once? Why the dev/null/?

So do I have to run memtest the program on win 10 or should I just use memory diagnostics

>>57256690
You've got a lot of junk arguments and parameters in there. When I encode 2pass webms for maximum quality I simply do this:

ffmpeg -ss XXX -i XXX -an -sn - vcodec libvpx -t XXX -s XXX*XXX -crf XXX -b:v XXX -pass 1 -f webm NUL && (rinse and repeat)

You really don't need to specify things like bufsize, slices and -quality for a webm. That's just autism.

>>57256742
all thanks mate

I normally make webms of video game captures, lots of stuff happening on screen at once and that seems to tank the quality, so I was trying to squeeze the most out of it.

>>57256799
At some point you just need to sacrifice resolution to improve the quality. An 854*480 video with 500k bitrate is going to look better than a 1280*720 video at 500k.

>>57256483
Yea did this and got mouse a kB support back and also found the option to allow mouse use during keyboard os install finally but now having this option turned on won't let my USB be read properly.

PC master race amirite

>>57256799
Also there's one extra argument that is worth using in terms of quality benefit and that's

-preset

It goes from ultrafast all the way down to placebo. Placebo is much slower than even the next fastest setting (veryslow) and only improves quality by about 3% but if you want maximum quality that's the way to go.

My pc is getting a bit old and it's struggling a little bit with games now. I'm playing overwatch comfortably (60fps) on the lowest settings, but I'd like to be able to experience 'medium' or 'high' for once in my life, you know?

Should I just upgrade my graphics card?

>bought pc in ~ 2010
>nvidia geforce gtx 550ti
>8gb ram

>>57256842
Is that not the same as using

-quality best

I've been awake too long and my brain is just dead. What the heck kind of program is it called that just alters the timing of subs (srt files)? Nothing fancy. Just let's me say, this line of text is appearing on the screen 3 seconds too late, move the whole thing forward 3 seconds.

>>57256919
Ah yeah I'm a dumbass, -preset is for x264

Carry on

>>57256881
So like an i5 760?
For a lot of games you can get away with just a GPU upgrade, but things like GTA V and ARMA 3 you'd really want a new CPU.

For Overwatch it should be fine.

Is there any difference between Informatics Engineering and Computer Engineering?

I need to adjust the wireless broadcasting speed on my router to resolve a communication issue, and on my ASUS router this appears to be the Multicast Rate setting.

What I don't understand though is what the values mean.
I've the choice of OFDM 6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54, or CCK 1/2/5.5/11.

I tried looking up a proper, basic explanation of what these mean but turned up short, can anyone educate me?
The most I could surmise is that OFDM 54 means 54 Mbps.
My router specifically is an ASUS RT-N66U apparently capable of up to 450Mbps, for my issue apparently even 300Mbps is too much and I would want to reduce this to something like 145Mbps.

If it's not a mechanical failure (check that connectors aren't corroded or blocked on both ends) then I don't really know. You could try formatting it to see if that helps. It's possible that you received a factory deflect.

>>57257799
You could do one more and the other later when you get more money. In that case an SSD would be wise to buy first since it requires a reinstallation.

below a certain point it becomes no cheaper for them to make

why produce a lower-capacity single-platter drive if it costs the same as a larger-capacity single-platter drive to make?

just get a 1TB drive, and partition off 500GB, it will end up being faster overall than a real 500GB hdd, as hdd speed/response times drop off as you move towards the end, a 500GB partition on a 1TB drive means you only get half way through the disk

you could also opt for a laptop/2.5" hdd if you like, though they are slower than their desktop counterparts in general, and usually cost a bit more per GB as well, so it might not even be cheaper to get a 500GB 2.5" over a 1TB 3.5"
