Is it normal for Nightly to use a gigabyte of memory for 14 tabs?

>>57455253
I don't think that is bad at all anon.

>>57455278
It is when you're on a toaster with only three gigabytes to go around!

>>57455284
Shoot man. Maybe you should go for a lighter browser? Or get a few extra GB of memory.

>>57455290
Please answer my original question. Is it supposed to do that, are these "the breaks" of it being 64bit?

>>57455303
Sorry man I am probably not the best. I assume that is regular, no way it could do less. 1GB for 14 tabs is not bad at all.

I have an .mkv file with a separate .ass subtitle file. I'd like to combine the two without re-encoding or hardcoding, just add another subtitle stream. The .mkv already has 2 French subtitles inside the container. I used

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -i subtitles.ass -c:s ass -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mkv

When I do this, the English subtitles I'm trying to add don't get added, but one of the French subtitle streams get deleted. What am I doing wrong? Preferably I'd like to delete both French streams as well but I don't really care.

>>57455461
>>57455511
No issues for me, pretty much instant.

>>57455638
No clue what you are doing wrong, but just use mkvmerge to do it, it makes muxing extremely easy (and all it does is generate the proper command line for you).

Hey guys, I'm fixing this laptop for someone and I'm trying to figure out what the issue is.

In safe mode it works perfectly. When booting normally, it takes forever to load into the desktop, and then once in the desktop after having loaded for minutes, doing simple tasks makes it freeze within a minute or two. Completely frozen, have to power it off by force. Can't figure out what's going on. It's windows 10 by the way.

Are there specific services that run normally which might be causing it? Things that normally DO NOT run in safe mode (with networking). Trying to narrow down what it is.

>>57455638
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -i subtitles.ass -map 0 -map 1 -c copy output.mkv

Changing my cpu, mobo, and ram tomorrow. Will I need to reinstall my os or will it be fine?

>>57455676
thanks I just used the GUI and it's pretty simple. I would still like to learn my way around ffmpeg though.

>>57455800
Uninstall your chipset drivers and do a full restart before replacing. Make sure it's completely gone. That shit can get stuck in your task scheduler if you interrupt it. Once it's gone, change parts and install the new chipset driver. Again, make sure nothing interrupts the process. Don't try to install it more than once. Just restart afterwards.

Not sure how you can check what a specific program has written but if you install Crystal Disk mark you can see a general one.

Also maybe try Spotify on your regular browser, if you have an ad blocker you basically have a free premium lol.

for skylake don't go over 1.35-1.4 vCore for daily usage. for 4.0ghz, it shouldn't really go over 1.2, but stability does vary from chip to chip. best suggestion: put in a little time and effort to do testing with different manual voltages to see what the lowest vCore you can get to for a certain speed. this will be the best option for the health of your chip

There's no real disadvantage in learning new languages. It is also very common to learn somehing that you throw away after a couple of years. Because you're in uni right now if you're goal is to get hired, try checking job postings and see what common languages and tools are being asked. You can learn them but still expect them to be different after you've graduate

Why is heat considered bad to chips and computers in general, but when people (de)solder ICs and other components from to and from motherboards, these are fine? A soldering iron can get up to temperatures far greater than regular system heat.

>>57456795
If its not prolonged in heat its safe
Another reason is not specific to the IC itself. Too much heat equivalently weakens the solder lead that the IC is attached on

I just got a new PC using a Gigabyte MX170 Gaming 5 mother board. I am trying to install windows 7 using a bootable usb key but I am getting an error about not being able to find DVD/USB drivers when I click install.

Apparently I need to install SATA/raid drivers but the problem is none of my USB keys are recognized in the file manager to select the drivers. They are recognized in the bios to boot but once I have booted nothing works including the USB 2.0 ports.

The gigabyte support site has a tool called Windows Image tool that is supposed to do something with it but I just get a "Cannot find boot.wmi" error.

I am trying to create my own bootable ISO on them now but I doubt it will fucking matter because once booted it won't be recognized.

Is using a live USB to download to the HD the solution? if so what do you recommend as something light weight with a web browser and easy to use file manager so I can download the folders/files to my HDD where they are recognized?

The issue is that the windows 7 installer does not have support for USB on skylake chipsets, you need to patch the installer or install it some other way like from a DVD drive.

I've got a galaxy S5 that has been doing some weird shit with the screen. Takes multiple tries to unlock sometimes and get weird bars that show up when it won't turn on or I turn off the screen. It also flashes green if I set it to low light.

I want to say the screen is going bad but the AMOLED is less than a year old (replaced it after I dropped and broke it). The issue with turning back on seems to happen less when my battery is lower. Could a bad battery possibly cause this? Would prefer to just replace the battery before a screen again since it does not hold a charge for shit anymore.

>>57457198
How would I patch the installer?
I'm using a pirated version. It's in ISO format but the tool gigabyte provides just gives me that boot.wmi error.

Windows 10 just installed an update the other day. Now my mouse keeps flashing the loading cursor on and off, and it keeps unfocusing out of my window or right click bar. Also My computer just turns off every few hours for some reason. Ran virus checks and wasn't that. Do I just uninstall the updates? Is there an order to doing so?

>>57457230
Was it after the 11/2 update it started happening? I would just uninstall that one if thats the case. I would check if there is any updated drivers for your mouse/mouse software.

>>57457247

>>57457251
Seriously thats not an option? I never upgraded to windows 10.

>>57457247
Yes, it was all after those updates when it started happening. It was one of those longer updates that occurs when you restart/power down your computer. Actually iirc it forced me out and did it itself, probably an auto-update feature I neglected to disable.
>>57457251
>>57457254
It's giving me the option, but I don't want to remove the wrong one or do it in the wrong order. Couldn't find any trouble like mine in the last few days on Google, thought it might be not happening to others (thinking on it now, that never really happens though, so I probably just didn't check well enough)

Install Windows 7, activate it with your favorite procedure (it could be Daz Windows Loader).
Then use this link to upgrade to Windows 10.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade
It will be original as far as it concerns Microsoft. It will store on MS servers a fingerprint of your computer, registering that W10 is "enabled" for it. Then you can wipeout everything and do a clean install. When you go online, W10 will activate itself automatically.

>>57457635
I have a fucking USB key it isn't recongized past the bios and windows wants DVD/USB drivers, which to load you need to either:

1) use a shitty patcher on to make a bootable USB from an ISO that "fails to add drivers" using the motherboard manfuacturers tool

2) an optical drive, no one owns this shit anymore.

Even if I created a live CD to download the drivers to the HDD (Where windows can see them) it won't work because the onboard ethernet is a Killer NIC 2200 POS that needs drivers too (aka needing an optical drive).

If my computer fails to power on after spontaneously powering off and I know my PSU isn't dead, the motherboard is the problem, right?

>>57457948
Partition your SSD into 2 or more states.

60 GB for Windows/60 GB for GNU/Linux.

Make few new folders in HDD. DATA/GAMES/MEDIA folders.

Configure both windows/GNU+Linux to use HDD for data/media/games and use the SSD partitions for respective software. Should you need to reinstall, your data/media/games will be safe.

SSD -> OS1, OS2
HDD -> DATA

If your SSD has big enough leftover space (use that for mission critical softwares/games)

if not do the standard troubleshooting fanfare of changing the channel to a less used one, testing the wifi closer to the router etc

>>57458321

it can have a performance impact if you have a particularly dire card or use multiple displays but in general it's nothing worth worrying about

>>57458388

probably just a faulty or not quite compatible wifi card/usb, if you can try another one and it works without issues you can likely just buy a new one to fix the issue

if not try checking that you haven't accidentally enabled some not that well supported feature

otherwise, 5ghz may be uncrowded but it's pretty poor at penetrating walls

also, checked

I installed Windows 7 64-bit on a computer with 3GB of RAM.
Everything was working fine, except for Windows Update, which I tried everything to fix until I learned the problem is caused by not having enough RAM.
Should 5 GB of RAM be enough?

Gentlemen,

I am running an ASUS Z77 Motherboard with a 3770k CPU. I was using onboard graphics until I ordered an MSI GTX 1060. I installed the GPU and went ahead and installed the drivers. After the installation finished and I rebooted, Windows 7 could not start.

On boot it would go to startup repair and the error I received stated that there was a problem with a Graphics Driver. I ran some troubleshooting and tried several scenarios. I restored Windows 7 from image and tried to install the GPU again but the same thing happened. I tried reloading Windows 7 from DVD and then installing the GPU drivers, I tried the drivers on the media that came with the GPU, and I tried downloading the driver again - nothing worked. No matter what I tried, Windows 7 fails to start once I install the GPU Drivers.

Have any of you guys had this issue in the past or heard of this issue happening? Should I try to RMA the card? Any advice I receive will be sincerely appreciated! Thank you!

I have my OS on an SSD but lately instead of 10 seconds my computers takes like 3 minutes to boot up.
The only thing I can point towards is that lately I started using an 8 year old, 320GB hard drive for torrenting purposes. Have had it plugged in for a year beforehand though with no problems.
Could it be that or is something else wrong?
The HDD doesn't hold any parts of my OS and it shouldn't be THAT slow, so I'm just wondering.

I prefer Keep bit both are pretty good.

>>57458944
To actually see if it is the HDD, perhaps disconnect and try booting it.

Otherwise look at your startup programs and disable what you can and test rebooting.

Setting power management to high performance might do something regarding the HDD.

Pic related is my rufus configuration (there's 2 because i've tried in 2 way, following advices on google)

There's a lot of stuff on the bios that can be changed (uefi, legacy, secure boot mode, crap like that) and i made endless attempts changing this crap to see if i managed.
I didn't.

Laptop is asus.

I can give more info if you ask me.

what's the best method to apply thermal paste onto a CPU?

I've got a computer that's not booting. The power definitely works, the fan spins up and the DVD drive opens and everything, but no picture.

It's got to be the CPU, right? What are the odds that a motherboard problem would cause it to fail to boot but still supply power to all its peripherals?

>>57459222
I don't know about "best" method, but I always just put some in the middle and let the pressing of the heat sink spread it out.

>>57459232
do you put a line in the middle or do you draw a nazi symbol

>>57459238
I put a [spoiler]dot[/spoiler] in the middle.

>>57459222
Pea in the middle, but it doesn't really matter unless you use too little or way too much.

>>57459183
that, a mac mini, or possibly a hackintosh if you have compatible hardware

>>57459224
Try re-seating the memory (take the RAM sticks out and put them back in).

Sometimes static on the motherboard builds up and this is how you clear it.

>>57459222
Just apply a little in the middle and you're good.

>>57459192
so you have AAC in m4a, and OGG and OPUS in webm.

you have to demux one of those into the contained format.

google demux webm audio, or demux m4a aac or similar and you're on the right path

>>57459222
Just so we're clear as to why a little pea in the middle to spread the very thin layer: The thermal paste is just to close the air gaps between the metal. The metal itself is what conducts the heat transfer.

>>57459245
Tried that, tried resetting the CMOS, tried unplugging literally everything but the power and VGA cable, still no picture, not even when I use a graphics card instead of the motherboard VGA port.

>>57459243
I've found some 2007-2008 macbooks for a little over 100€ so I guess I won't search much more, thanks anon!

>>57459252

>>57459270
Well, if the CPU died, you'd get nothing and it would power off. Try unplugging all of your peripherals then and only try 1 ram stick at a time.

Anybody got a link to that one PC website? It was like logicalincrements in the fact that you could build your own PC, the only difference is, on this website you select all the parts you want, and then they build it for you and send it to you.

I had it bookmarked a while ago from someone linking it on /g/ but I can't find it now.

>>57459296
All it HAS is 1 RAM stick, it's a fucking shitty computer. It's a tower, but it's using a laptop-style direct-to-motherboard power supply with a brick in the cord.

All the peripherals are unplugged as well, everything but the CPU fan, power, VGA cable, and power button.

Is a half-functioning CPU or a half-functioning motherboard more likely? I don't have a spare of either to find out which one it is for sure.

Ok i'm maybe overthinking this, but i need to be sure.

I'm upgrading my kit, (cpu, motherboard, ram & drives). If i go from a microATX to a ATX, does the standoffs comes with the new mobo ?
Can i mix ram size ? Like a 8go stick and a 4go stick, same specs.

>>57459305
Pc partpicker ?

>>57459312
It's a bad motherboard then. 99% positive.

Been a tech for 22 years and I've seen exactly 2 CPU failures: Both caused by overheating.

>>57459312
OR try another monitor. Try another vga cable. Try another power supply. That's all I got for ya bud.

Good luck.

>>57459340
Well the power supply is that special snowflake cord-brick bullshit, but I'll try another monitor.
Thanks.

You can mix the ram, but be sure to put the larger stick in the first slot for better performance.

No idea. But you should use the official iso from Microsoft, use the volume key, and activate with daz loader instead of a pre cracked one full of malware

>>57459515
There's probably a brief voltage sag/swell when the compressor on your freezer starts up, its just exacerbated by the existing load of your computer running. A power conditioner or UPS would probably solve the issue.

Just squeeze out a glob in the center that looks like just enough to get a very thin layer across the entire surface then moosh your cooler down onto it as flatly as possible. People say "between a grain of rice and a pea" for size but really just eyeball it depending on the size of your CPU (a bigger Haswell/Broadwell-E chip would need a bit more than a smaller Skylake one for example).

Can I just plug my SSD, with windows 10 on it, to a newly build pc and it works? Or do I actually have to buy windows 10 now?

>>57461762
It's often necessary to do a new install for Windows to work, and most licenses are tied to the original motherboard. GNU/Linux with a generic kernel will just werk with any PC.

Are there any text editors that let me wrap tall, thin text files into several columns?

If you're looking for a tool, install a different interface on Ubuntu. If it's good enough for Google engineers, it's good enough for you. Debian Sid is good if you want fresher packages, but it needs just a little more configuration. .rpm distros are good, too, and it's good to at least have one in a VM if you want to be a computer janitor. I prefer .deb bistros just because they have larger official repositories.

If you're looking for a toy that makes you feel productive/accomplished for not really doing anything, because you can't make yourself put in the effort to learn a skill, Arch is one of the best for that. You don't need to know what you're doing or why you're doing it. Just copy and paste commands from the wiki to feel like a big boy.

Hi there! I'm using xUbuntu, the shittiest OS in existence and am using the Thinkpad T430.
Today I ran into an error (again). This time googling didn't help so I want to ask you all this:
HOW THE FUCK CAN I USE MY FUCKING VOLUME KEYS ON MY KEYBOARD AGAIN??
When pressing them buttons nothing happens. Not able to mute, rise or lower the volume via keybord. HELP PLEASE!?

>>57462339
XFCE should have functions implemented to increase/decrease volume in pulseaudio, look at your keyboard shortcuts settings and try to bind the keys, the keys should be called something along the lines of XF86VolumeUp

So, like the klutz I am, my 2014 moto x fell out of my hoodie pocket and cracked on concrete with some fairly sizable rocks while on campus. Since a replacement screen cost almost as much as a new 2014 moto x, should I just get another, or, since it's kinda dated, is there a phone comparable in size and in-hand feel/software feel to the moto x?

purchasing specs:
>Country
USA
>Carrier
AT&T
(prefer unlocked phone)
>Features
Clean software, decent battery (at least 3hr), good/decent camera, good warranty (oneplus and other chink companies have left friends out in the cold if something internally fails)
>Budget
<$200 (poorfag college lyfe)
>Size
≤5.3"
will only go 5.5" or above if w/ stylus (like a note)

I don't mind buying a phone that's older if the software on it's good or if it's easy enough to put a custom rom on. I'm currently using a note 2 with cyanogenmod as a replacement, but still just isn't as nice as my moto x. 2014 Moto x was just comfy.

i got given an old pc that has an RCA/SVIDEO/SCART out connector on the back, but the graphics card it needs has been removed.

Can I wire this up to use the VGA output of another card and just splice the wires from a VGA Cable?

Why won't a small business of designing and building battle-stations for local people work?

>>57462619

What for?

>>57462754
to output SCART or RCA.

>>57462746
You don't add any value.

>>57462773
What do you mean?

>>57462768

Your best shot is to output RGB SCART, but you still have to worry about sync type and frequency.
I guess you want to plug it into a standard SD TV?

correct. an old CRT in the office. Mostly for shits and giggles, but also that nostalgia feel of an old crt.

>>57462816
>People are conttent buying stuff and setting it on their desks without your help
This is simply not true. Battlestations are big and probably getting bigger. Little 13 year olds are probably begging their parents for a battlestation at this point instead of just a computer and the parents most likely don't give a shit or don't have the time and would rather have some professional set it up efficiently.

>You'd actually be removing value because people feel accomplished for sticking together half a dozen registered and color coded components and knowing which ones to buy.
Again, you're thinking of a really small minority. You're essentially projecting yourself to the average potential customer.

>>57462895
Wouldn't those people want an Alienware and nothing else? That's how it was when I was 13.

I looked it up later on and 64bit easily adds at least a hundred megabytes or so, if not more. Yes, it's not that much, but it is a significant issue when you have very little RAM to go around in the first place.

/vr/ has a CRT general, you should be able to get some help on this.

VGA has 5 main lines, RGBHV. That's the regular RGB signals, a hsync signal to trigger scanning a new line, and a vsync signal to trigger scanning a new frame.
SCART has 4, RGBS. There's the RGB signals but then also a composite video signal. The composite video is the same signal that you get on the yellow RCA jack, but if the set is displaying the cleaner RGB video signals then it only uses the sync data from the composite video.

I'm fairly certain you can combine the horizontal and vertical sync signals to create a composite sync signal, then send that down the composite video line, and the if the set supports RGB it will be able to handle it. You need an adaptor to multiplex hsync and vsync that but it's fairly basic.

hsync frequency is important. SDTVs are only designed to sync at 15KHz, which is 240 visible lines in 60fps. VGA monitors sync at 31KHz at a minimum, for 480 lines in 60fps. You need to find out if your graphics card can actually output 15KHz video.

note: horizontal resolution doesn't matter, analog video signals don't have quantized horizontal resolution. /vr/fags usually emulate at 3840x240 because it scales up from 256/320/384 nicely and their hipster CRTs still display it fine. Of course, what you'll actually be able to resolve depends on the dot pitch of your CRT.

Im frugal as shit but i dont want to fuck around with my current 1TB, that thing is very old.

I dont want to buy a 1TB because i never filled up my first 1TB but what if i need more space later on?

>>57463225
Virtual machines.

>>57462746
There's no harm in trying, just list it on craigslist, but I guarantee there's already a dozen or so there that post regularly. Custom built computers aren't all that common, most people with a power level of 1 or below tend to buy from big box stores or prebuilts on amazon. The people you're trying to cater to are likely already capable of building one themselves.

That isn't to say it can't be done, I occasionally get requests from friends of family that have seen my setup and want similar. I've had little resistance to my 5% markup on parts plus $50 for labor.

The same ISOs and minimum disk space are needed whether the machine is virtual or bare metal, but you'll overshoot partitioning for the latter and waste a bunch of time rebooting.

>>57462925
I don't think it's that simple. Alienware is old news and it's a popular idea. I'm just saying battlestations continue to trend. There might be something there. I've also never heard of anyone else doing this but I really think if you know how to advertise it would work.

C'mon, there has to be at least one passable option.

not just trying to do custom built. There's plenty of that already. But the actual designing a whole battlestation including peripherals and desk and all that stuff. all new or working with what they've got. seems kind of farfetch but who knows. I feel like i'd need access to a more affluent area.
