trying to adjust settings for madvr, and some of the settings go below the visble extent of the window, but I see no way to scroll down in the window or resize it.

How do I view those settings being cut off?

If I streamed some movies online, would I get fined millions of dollars? I'm guessing the audience wouldn't be more than about 20-30 people.
My ISP is Time Warner, if it matters.

Best place to buy used cisco equipment? I'm looking through ebay and craigslist but I'm wondering if there is anywhere else I could try.

I want to leave gmail. ProtonMail look like a good alternative, however I don't like the fact that I cannot change the mailbox password without loosing all my previous e-mails.

Any other good alternative to gmail, not hosted in the US ?

im looking for an application that lets use my phone as a wifi hotspot. however there are a few caveats. it needs to be able to spoof the mac address and connect to the internet via usb.

Do VESA mounts care about orientation? I want to do something like pic related with three identical monitors. Will I need to get a special mount for it or would any one do?

Monitors not properly proportioned nor scaled.

On a laptop, how do I change speaker quality settings and display refresh rate settings?

Right clicking those devices in the device manager and going to properties doesn't show it

They do. The example you used, however, does support 360 degree rotation.

So, what's a better deal, the RX 480 or Fury, and which one will age better with time?

I'm going to be using a few monitors, but does four extra GB of RAM really matter?

Also, for whichever one is superior in price/performance, which one is the best one to get?

Or should I just get a 470 if I'm looking for price/performance?

Need some major help, /sqt/. I can't tell if my D850 LG G3 is saveable or is hard-bricked.

I planned to install CM 13 on it. Rooted it with KingRoot, flashed "Download Mode" to fastboot and got TWRP ready. A problem arose; at the top-right I got a boot vertification error.

Apparently the TWRP version I downloaded was mismatched. However, I ignored this since it was just the recovery image, and decided to go the easy route and use LGFlashTool. Didn't realize you needed to keep the original boot image, so I initially went through the steps of erasing fastboot and restoring it with the original. The thing is...the original image is located in the internal storage of the phone.

So I decided to find a similar boot image online and flash that on there. Bad idea.

My phone is definitely bricked, but I have access to fastboot. However, fastboot commands aren't working. It'll say "writing" recovery, but it'll freeze there and won't continue through... this happens with all the commands.

>>57379585
cont.

So basically fastboot works but it also doesn't work. My phone is detected but the commands refuse to work at all both on GNU/Linux and Windows. I have a copy of the original boot image but I can't access it because the phone is bricked.


Is there anything I can do before doing anything physical to the hardware as a last result? I've been trying to solve this for the past day so far. I tried lurking Pajeet-developers for the solution, but people with the same problem as me are ignored.

I know nothing about encrypting a hard drive. I have windows 10 and would like to do this. What is the best software to do so?

The other day, under a lot of time pressure and desperation I plugged a friend's USB drive into my laptop (Windows 10, fully updated) in order to transfer a file to it. Lo and behold almost the moment it's plugged in Windows Defender instantly detects and removes a fucking worm off my shitty friend's drive.

https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/Encyclopedia/entry.aspx?Name=Win32%2FGamarue

So after unplugging the USB drive and PANICing for a bit I ended up finding and following a guide to disinfecting a PC
>run rkill.com
>run a full threat scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware both in normal mode and safe mode
>run Malwarebytes Junk Removal Tool
>run HitmanPro scan for good measure
>then run a full Windows Defender scan just for the hell of it.

All of which found nothing at all besides a couple of tracking cookies.

So having done all that, can I safely declare my laptop to have never been infected, or should I nuke Windows, do a clean install, and change all my passwords just to be certain?

>>57379669
Depends on how much you really care.
You have compromised the system, the only professional solution is to nuke it from orbit.
It's probably fine desu.

Hello,
I need to send a video with this fucking whatsapp app, the video is 720X576 with a length of 02:16 (minutes) in mp4 , but it is 22,7 MB and the maximum size allowed by whatsapp for sending video is 16 MB,...how can I reduce the size of this file under 16 MB??

Are there any good resources that explain discrete logic well? Especially natural deduction. I'm pretty confused by it.
Also, are there other places to ask about this kind of stuff? Literally /sqt/ is the only place that I actually get replies and I want other opinions.

>>57380956
Sounds like a hardware problem. Something seems to be interrupting the contact to the circuit. If cleaning it doesn't help I'd get a new mouse. The hardware of them can be quite finnicky.

>>57381179
Well shit is there any way to avoid this in the future? I switched to wireless mouses because I was sick of the cords always getting frayed and giving me problems, I didn't think I'd still have to deal with this kind of shit with a wireless one.

And do you have any recommendations on how to clean it? It doesn't feel like it can be taken apart without destroying it.

>>57381117
transcode it

with 2:16, and 16M size, the maximum average bitrate you can do is 941kbps

so,
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -c:v libx264 -b:v 800k -pass 1 output.mp4
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -c:v libx264 -b:v 800k -pass 2 output.mp4

Assuming we have a string in the form of

"[ foo, bar, baz]"

How should I parse it so that I can extract the contents using Java?

>>57381188
>-c:a aac
>using ffmpeg built-in aac
>not using libfdk-aac

>>57381183
I've never had that specific problem, but on my current wireless mouse, my scroll wheel is stiff as fuck. I think it's a variation of your environment, your hands and the build quality of your mouse.

You could try blowing into it hard or using compressed air, or maybe there's a disassembly guide for your specific mouse. Good luck either way. They're very fiddly pieces of hardware.

>>57381207
i don't use aac at all, i'm only mentioning it because it's an .mp4 which can't into opus

>>57381188
Thanks,..but what is the difference between the first command an tne sceond?..."pass 1" - "pass 2" ?

>>57381207
what's the difference between ffmpeg-acc library and libfdk-aac library?

>>57381241
The built-in aac encoder is the worst aac encoder I've ever seen, not even transparent at 192kbps
libfdk-aac is one of the best quality
Two-pass encoding produces higher quality stream while keeping bitrate confined

>>57381275
thanks, but I read on the guide this:

- pass n
Select the pass number (1 or 2). It is used to do two-pass video encoding. The statistics of the video are recorded in the first pass into a log file (see also the option -passlogfile), and in the second pass that log file is used to generate the video at the exact requested bitrate. On pass 1, you may just deactivate audio and set output to null, examples for Windows and Unix:

ffmpeg -i foo.mov -vcodec libxvid -pass 1 -an -f rawvideo -y NUL
ffmpeg -i foo.mov -vcodec libxvid -pass 1 -an -f rawvideo -y /dev/null

so the commands above are correct?...how can I use libfdk-acc instead of ffmpeg-acc ?

Someone has a guide how to make a raspberry into an OpenVPN server? Everything I've found is either outdated or for making it a client.

>>57381312
you can discard the video like that suggests, i didn't write that because the method differs depending on your os (namely, "NUL" is windows-only)

>how can I use libfdk-acc instead of ffmpeg-acc
change "-c:a aac" to "-c:a libfdk-aac"

Are there legitimate reasons to use Firefox Nightly/Aurora as your default browser or is it just a meme?

How do box proofs (natural deduction) prove tautologies?
I can't see how they prove anything other than how to build a formula.

Is it a waste of time to go through programming books without exercises and which only focus on syntax? I'm doing it for HTML/CSS and I'm bored out of my mind and remember little. I've already gone through actual programming / intro to CS tutorials.

Should I just ignore O'Reilly books and pick a goal and do it?

>>57381741
Try CodeAccademy. That's how I learnt HTML/CSS. Highly recommend it. Gives you realtime exercises as it teaches you.
Different people learn in different ways though. I've found just tanking a textbook on C# was the best way to learn it for me. Try different stuff and see what you enjoy/what sticks.
So no, I wouldn't say going through programming books without exercises is useless at all. As long as you mess around with the stuff you're learning, it'll stick a lot more.

How do digital devices communicate?

I need to use the VS1053 audio decoder in a project and I have no idea how to make the audio files "go" to it from a storage device, in this case an ipod touch primarily though I'd like it to interface with just about any media device that communicates over USB.

Are only words used in processor operations, or are bytes also used for that stuff?

I've got a Supermicro X7DBU motherboard (old socket 771 server motherboard) that I just got off Ebay and I'm not sure how to get it started. The PSU I'm using is rated at 650w and should be able to pump enough juice through, but it won't start if I connect all the necessary power inputs. The PSU fan will spin with the paper clip test, however.

I don't have any other PSUs with enough wattage to test on this motherboard, and even the low wattage ones are 10+ years old. I don't have any other desktop motherboards that aren't 10+ years old. How can I troubleshoot this without more components?

I'm trying to connect my PSP to my Wi-Fi but it says network not supported, then I remembered that my PSP used to use WPA-PSK(TKIP) so I went and change my router settings and got this message.

For some reason S3 sleep is broken now. It just reboots when I try to turn it back on, and wake on mouse/keyboard does nothing. I think it coincided with a windows update. But I can't remember which one.

Stupid question here. What's up with people using a HDD from one computer (has OS + their media) and popping in a new computer with vastly different hardware.

Would it still boot? Depending on AMD/Intel architecture obviously? What type of discrepancies will they face?

>>57383233
Gut instinct is that it wouldn't boot from that drive regardless of whether the new computer already has on OS on it. If there is a pre-existing OS, you'd be able to access all your old files as if the old HDD were a USB stick.

Does it really matter where the little prongs on an IO shield are touching as long as they're touching the port? I bent a couple of them and only realized afterwards that they were supposed to touch elsewhere, but they're still touching the ports, just the tops of them rather than right by the plug..

I found my 6-7 year old picture backups on my old computer, but none of the pictures have file extensions. If I manually put in .jpg I can see the pictures. Is there any way I can speed up the process or software that can open them? Thanks, getting access to these old files would be amazing(edited)
If i go into properties the file extension is just 'file'

i am on linux. i have my windows ntfs partitions mounted in fstab. i have set up, in fstab, under the ntfs partitions, uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0000. this gives my user and group full permissions. i see it, i can read, i can write, properties will claim i own everything. in wine i have used the "desktop integration" feature to point wine to my windows documents folder, so i can share saves and settings and whatnot. however, no games can write to this folder. i am trying to play stalker shadow of chernobyl but my settings wont save and it wont read my windows saves. i know this requires some wizardry since to even get it to write to the right documents folder i had to make yet another link in the wine "c_drive/user/username/" folder called just "documents" which also points to "my documents" since the way stalker works is going to a folder named that and not "my documents". before i did this though it would save my settings in my linux partition under "documen~1/stalke~1" and im aware of this cmd shit scheme but it should be working now and i don't know what to do

The transition should be smoothless, but you might run into issues with specific hardware combinations that require hours of googling and entering random commands into terminal.

>>57383595
Do you have speccy or crystal disk info installed? Check your SMART status, if it isn't all green then your hard drive is probably failing.

>>57383380
Their job is to ground the IO shield with ports. As long as most of them are touching metal and they arent blocking any ports they should be fine.

>>57383392
If you don't care about file names then you can just ctrl + a and rename one of them. If you want to preserve names then you'll need to write a script for it.

Might also be possible to have windows automatically open extensionless files with image viewer of your choise, but that'll affect every file that doesnt have an extension.

My friend's computer has stopped working. When i presses the power button the fans start spinning and he even gets to the windows logo sometimes. But then it shuts off, I think it's the heatsink.

This is the underside of my laptop. I want to put an external fan under it to help cool it down. Where should I put it? The right side is where it gets hotter, which is where the GPU is located. The center gets hot sometimes too, that's where the CPU is I think. Also, should it blow air inside, or be an exhaust?

>>57383875
Thank you very much! It was a silly little question, but I'm glad you reassured me about that.

>>57383898
Could be a failing mobo or power supply. Could be a heatsink too but it'd have to be

>>57383922
Push air in, it'll come out on its own. Try to find out which hole is used for GPU intake and put a fan on there to push as much fresh air in as possible.

But I doubt a single fan will make much of a difference. You'd get better results by dedusting it first and then replacing thermal paste if that doesn't help.

>>57384010
Thanks. I already dedusted it by the way, that helped too. I don't dare to replace the thermal paste though, I'm sure I'll fuck something up.

>>57384010
>Could be a heatsink too but it'd have to be
...very loose for processor to overheat that quickly. If it worked fine before and your friend hasnt done anything stupid I doubt heatsink is the culprit.

The way you test these things is by removing as many components as possible and then inserting them back one by one if the problem disappears. Remove every cable except power cord, try loaning your PSU to him, remove the video card, try different memory configurations as >>57384162 suggested et cetera.

I've got a phone in a boot loop that I think is caused by a discharged battery. What sort of options do I have for charging it outside the phone? Based on the battery's listed specs, 4.2v seems to be a safe charging voltage.

Should I make a 4.2v charger from a usb cable, buy and repurpose a 4.2v 18650 battery charger from ebay, or spend $50 on a new battery and hope for the best?

I really don't know a whole lot about batteries. I see shit on the internet like "connect a 9v battery to your dead battery's charging leads to jumpstart your battery!" and that seems like a terrible idea.

the memes about linux and drivers are specifically relating to gpu drivers. i don't understand what makes them so fucking hard to install but linux makes it the most ass backwards shit. you might be installing the wrong driver for your device too. me for example, i tried installing amd drivers. it said on the page it supported my device, but once installed, instead of booting into my operating system, it showed a shitload of text that basically says "your device is too old for this driver!" with none else for my device. luckily opensource drivers are fantastic for amd but i just wish the closed source ones could be installed the fucking same

Hi,

I'm looking for a mailserver (e.g. Yahoo or some of that shit) where I can add my own domain name and forward incoming email from [email protected] to my personal e-mail to have a more accessible work e-mail address. Are there any free options? I don't want to pay google.

I tried installing drivers via software update in settings after running some command to add ppa? repositories. Not sure if we are talking about the same thing though. Everywhere on google tells me i need nvidia proprietary drivers so im not sure ill look into this.

Why is my netbook running sluggish?
It's a few years old and hasn't been used for a while, so I wiped it clean back to factory settings but it's still fairly slow.
4GB RAM, i3, ~500GB HDD. What could be the issue?

ubuntu-drivers has the non-free nvidia-367 driver set as the recommended driver and installed for my computer, even over the free nouveau driver. And I've not touched my repositories or sources on this install.

If you've got a terminal and internet connection you should try ubuntu-drivers list and ubuntu-drivers devices. It's already installed on your system. Those commands won't install anything immediately, just show what your current drivers are and if you have any applicable drivers available.

Yes any 2.5" SSD works. You will have a better time reinstalling everything but if you must it's as easy as cloning a drive. Since it's a laptop you would have to get some external HDD reader but again it's better if you start from zero.

do two things. 1 check if your disk is still in good shape

if it is backup your shit starting with important stuff first

2. consider reinstalling windows. i bet there is some long drawn out way to prune what is causing the problems but its probably more than one thing and will probably take even longer than just restarting. backup My Documents and %appdata% (type this into your explorer top bar like a web address and press enter, then go one folder above this and back up especially Roaming and Local) as these are commonly where shit like game saves and whatnot are

Consistency of resistance is what matters, in my opinion. For example, the "Microsoft Natural" was the most unnatural keyboard I've ever used. It used sliding plastic-on-plastic posts. Depending on which key you hit, resistance was light or EXTREMELY heavy. Hit a fat, single-post shift key off-center from the post and BAM ultra-high resistance.

That said, the Kinesis line is the greatest keyboard ever made.

>>57387323
Kinesis is definitely a great keyboard, Mine has been on the shelf waiting for a good cleaning for a while, I've been using a unicomp buckling spring instead in its place which is almost just as good. Kinesis should make an advantage with buckling springs.

>>57387138
>>57387245
>snake oil
Nah. Less finger fatigue,better build quality,durability.

If you touch type, mechanicals are worth it. If you use one finger from each hand to type, not even worth it.

Corsair has non standard layout, meaning there are no third party keycaps that will support that board. Get a cooler master for your first mech unless you've tried the switches.

mechanicals are a waste of time in any case

My rooted galaxy s6, SM-G920R4, gives me a bootloop error about a frp lock. What do I do?
If I have to redo the whole phone through like a reset, is there a way I can at least get all my stuff off of the phone first? Also, if I do end up having to go back to stock, will I have to fuck with any of the phone side of it, like will I have to have my carrier do anything to get that part working?
I'm pretty stupid when it comes to Android, especially on the s6, so I'm wondering, what do I do to stop the error, and is there any way to get rid of the error without resetting the whole thing?

>>57387554
You've clearly never used a mechanical then, or you bought corsair and got burned after a month when shit stopped working.
If you're only purpose in life is to shitpost on 4chan, then sure it isnt worth it. But having a career that requires you at the keyboard all day every day pushing 10m characters a day, it makes a huge fucking difference.

Finger fatigue due to lower resistance feels cozy as fuck.

Noice, thanks.

I'm trying to install Windows 7 of my freshly-built desktop. However, whenever I try to boot off the flash drive the .iso is on I get a "No operating system was found" error. the .iso has ASrock's USB patch loaded onto it, could that be it?

I sent my computer to get its data backed up (long story).

Anyway, I have it back now and things seem a little bit slower than when I last used it(could just be because I had to re-apply thermal paste to my CPU, though), and I noticed that a lot of my files have an 'Account Unknown' as their owner. Is there any way I can get this sorted out quickly? Should I call up the place I had it backed up at and find out what they did? This is kind of frustrating - not only did I lose my firefox cookies, but I'm now unable to download any new files from it..

I don't get the buckling spring thing, aside from nostalgia.

I've got a couple Model M's here, and I grew up using them. I don't really see the appeal.

Also, the Kinesis was (to my knowledge) the only keyboard manufacturer to move navigation keys. I recently used a Novatouch TKL for half a year that had an 87 key layout. It's nice having a traditional arrow cluster for some things (games, web games with no customization), but goddamn, the Kinesis setup makes like as a programmer so much better.

>>57387647

I'm debating finally upgrading to Windows 10. Two things absolutely killed Win 10 for me:

1) A bizarre bug related to my Creative X-Fi USB "sound card". UAC audio notifications would go to max volume every single time. After every reboot, I'd have to open the volume mixer, adjust the UAC prompt volume, then *leave the mixer open* so that the change would stay in effect. It was a bizarre bug and I have no idea if it was ever fixed.

2) They made all the title bars (active AND inactive) the same color. This was unbelievably aggravating for me. I use a big-ass monitor and often have a second monitor. I want to know the active window from a glance. They made this godawful change in one of the Release Candidates.

You can't just put the iso file in a FAT or whatever filesystem on the USB drive. You need to image the drive with something like dd, unetbootin, or rufus, so the iso becomes the whole drive instead of just sitting in a drawer on it.

I have an entire porn drive I want to keep it inaccessible for some time because im an addict. Just tucking it away won't work as I know where it is.

think of it in comparison to windows, where it is more customizable. distros are built around systemd so it isn't easy to take out after its in because it becomes a dependency for a lot of shit to run, and it does a lot more than just a standard init system. but its technically possible, just a lot easier to just use a distro or bsd which doesn't have it. most people were memeing against systemd though, they don't really care enough to remove it

Guys, can someone fix VBScript syntax for me ? God damm, I cant put path in qoutes.

objWShell.Run "SchTasks /Create /F /SC DAILY /TN ""Test Task"" /TR ""wscript %APPDATA%\test.vbs"" /ST 00:00", 0

It looks ugly but it has a shit-load of audio config options. It is marketed at audiophiles

also plays .opus so you can just convert those .flac to 192 KB/s .opus for the same audio quality

delete syswow64, it's the system windows online watchdog 64 bit version that keeps the activation in check, without it, you just need to make a new offline account and you can log in without activating

you might need to delete it while windows isn't running because of the anti-consumer protection

stick it to the man!

How much success will I find with selling used computer parts? I want to downsize my build, so I'm thinking of selling my R5 and MSI Z170-A PRO motherboard. I'm not expecting much, but will there be any takers?

>>57389905
not that anon but how do you ship them?
Do you wrap in anti-static bags or something?

>>57389957
Use the original packaging.

I applied for an internship for social media and have an interview soon. The thing is I have no clue what social media marketing is about but I know there is good money in it. Would marathoning a few courses on the subject help me out here or do I have to get a degree?

So I moved all my components to a new PC case and now my PC wont connect to a monitor and has no power in the USB ports.

I have a MSI b75ma p45 mobo and I was wondering if I would have needed to update the BIOS beforehand? CPU is a Intel i5 3470.

I get beeps when RAM is removed which is mormal, but no other noises from mobo. Anyone have any idea whats goin on?

>>57390891
Make sure all cables are connected including the CPU power and the power lines to the video card

Okay, since rufusing the .iso got me is where things went wrong, what settings SHOULD I use for mounting it?

>>57390891
Did you connect the monitor to the GPU and not the motherboard?

>>57390918
Where are you? Maybe one of us can cum over to help ;)

Tried that, still no signal. Actually I tried it with HDMI, is that enough or would I need DVI?

Anyone here heard of killer USBs? Are they legitimate hobby projects for laymen or do they require a fair amount of background on electronics and whatnot?

It wouldn't explain the lack of power in the USB ports, though.

>>57382184
Deluge, it should work.

>>57382506
Have you tried turning it on without the CPUs or RAM installed?

It should give you BIOs codes, at the very least.

>>57386312
Absolutely not.

>>57391157
BIOS might have something to do with it.

Otherwise, your power supply might not be up to par.

Have you tried plugging in all compatible cables into your monitor AT ONCE?

Make backups immediately.

Speaking of which, how2backup?

>>57391300
Post screenshot and learn what each value means. Increasing reallocated sector count means failure imminent and it should be shut down immediately to plan for backups which should already have been done because one digital copy = zero stable copies.

Fuck.
Will a live GNU/Linux USB buy me some time?

>>57391466
It's probably the motherboard.

Have you tried unplugging things, like RAM?

Was it working before?

>>57391494
Yes.

Do so immediately, only write to USB or disc, and make a backup immediately.

>>57391394
ask /csg/

>>57391699
They sperg out when you mention amazon

the top one seems fine though

>>57391649

Been having a problem with our internet lately, it's a wireless provider because they're the only one we can get (Adam WiMax in Australia) and for the last 4-5 days or so our internet hasn't been able to go faster than 130KBps.

We're going to get a guy out to check the box to make sure that's working and still facing the right direction, but recently straight across the road from our house, they've put up two giant sheds. Higher than a two story house, fairly long and wide, and I'm pretty sure they've just got all the wiring done inside.

Is it possible that with the electricity going as high as the roof in those sheds for lighting, fans, and whatever other shit is ruining our connection?

>>57391956
yes

>>57391909
No. You can buy those separately for less.

Are Xeon E5 Processors a meme? I was looking at gaming performance and they seem to do very well for the price. I just ordered one so it's too late but it seems like a good idea. They have comparable performance to an i7 and it was 50 facking dollars
