So I'm looking into using a 4k tv as my monitor for my pc I'm gonna build, are there any good ones that won't have input lag/that will actually run smoothly? Or would it be better to save for a 4k pc monitor instead of a tv?

>>57805609
I remember you from last night.
Just get a monitor, tvs are notorious for having input lag when it comes to using them with computers

>>57805621
Cool, thanks anon I'll start searching for monitors instead.

How to extract captions from youtube in .srt format?

>>57805665
found this by googling your question
http://downsub.com/

>>57805703

I used that too, I want to know how to do it manually

I figured out extracting the timedtext file which has the captions. But its in html and not text, so renaming it .srt doesnt work

I am trying to figure out how http://downsub.com/ is converting it to .srt

>>57805743
i'm guessing downsub is just parsing that html file that you saw

>>57805771

how can I parse it to srt? Any tool?

In case downsub.com goes down I want to be able to it myself

I rooted my tablet and have tried multiple wifi sniffer apps but none of them sniff any data off the network other than what the tablet is using. I have tried turning off the firewall temporally and it still does not grab any other data. Any tips?

>>57805665

>>57806073

>>57806122
I think it might have to do with explorer generating the 'thumbs.db' files every time I open a new folder. Tried turning it off, hopefully it'll fix the problem.

>>57806099

ln -snf

-s, --symbolic
    make symbolic links instead of hard links 
-n, --no-dereference
    treat destination that is a symlink to a directory as if it were a normal file 

-f, --force
    remove existing destination files

Got a new case recently and moved everything to it. After I did, only one ram slot works, and if I add a stick in another slot, it doesn't boot. I'm not sure what to do. I want to increase my current 8gb of memory to 16 and I am also looking to upgrade my 6950 to a 1060 soon so my options are looking like:
Buy 1060 > Buy single 16gb DIM > Buy new mobo
Buy new mobo (and stick with 8gb ram) > Buy 1060 > Buy an extra 2x4gb
or Buy 16gb single dim of ram > Buy 1060 > Buy new mobo.
I could also try and fix the mobo, but I don't really know how, seeing as though I already tried taking out the CMOS and putting it back in. Just in case btw, I have an MSI Z77A-G41.

All the components to my new rig are almost here so now I'm at the point where I need to think about my operating system.
I've been on Win7 forever now and figure that I should probably do Win10 for the new build.
I plan on torrenting it but I'm not completely convinced by the comments and talk around most of the ones I'm finding.
Should I not worry about the torrent comments and just download the top piratebay one? Should I get the clean version then an activator? I haven't had to install a new OS on a brand new machine in a long time so I'm second guessing all my decisions.

if you like

>>57807445
that value tells you the overall health of your memory cells, not the lifespan that can be shortened any time by random event
anyway: if you want to, you can calculate it. check how much LBAs your drive has, check what kind of cells are used (SLC, MLC, TLC, etc), multiply it and then, using the total LBAs written, calcucalte its wear off

Dunno but try changing to another usb connector on the mobo for the front ports. Or try fiddle around with the usb settings in bios.

>>57807654
Is it trying to boot from USB?

>>57807649
i don't see the used up LBAs either but i see reserved blocks count. when it drops to 0 (or 1) it means that you have no more spare cells and your SSD will begin to degrade (at least most manufacturers make it show that)
parameter 173 tells you the max amount of erases on a single cell in your entire hard drive

(Windows 10) My internet has been acting really weird these past few days. Like in the past 20 mins while I was trying to watch a YouTube video -- it just stopped working a couple of time. My internet didn't go down however, I think my Ethernet/connection is messing up. Because as soon as the "internet" goes down, I just restart disable and re-enable my Ethernet Connection in the control panel and it starts working instantly again.

What's going on, and any idea how to fix this?

I'm interested in QHD displays. I found a Dell U2515H listed for $230. I'm a broke as fug college student, but I'm looking to "future-proof" my tech shit. Can't be any more than this amount.

I've been using a 40" 1080p TV as my monitor for the past year, but it's taking up too much space on my desk and I also feel less productive using it. I want a general use monitor; some casual gaymen (Dota, Civ, osu!, etc.), video watching and web browsing. I want to experience 1440p doing these things, but I don't think it's a huge deal for me. I'd settle for something 1080p as well. Atleast 24".

I know that one QNIX monitor would suit me well, but it's so fucking ugly. I want something aesthetically pleasing like the Dell's.

What extension cord do I buy? It's like a 3-pin.

Is the cable important for the transfer speeds?
I mean, is there such a thing as USB 2.0 cable or 3.0 cable? Or can I just use a "USB 2.0" cable to connect a USB 3.0 device onto a USB 3.0 port to get the corresponding speed?

>>57813272
fyi it does have a cord but it can barely reach and just leave the drive bay and get nowhere near the motherboard

yes, a usb 3.0 cable has 5 more wires and you need it to get usb 3.0 speed

I want to upgrade my laptop memory. It's 4G DDR3 12800s Low Volt by Samsung.

Question One
If I put in another 8G DDR3 12800s Low Volt memory that is not Samsung, will the two conflict each other? Should I just replace the 4G memory with the new 8G, or better yet get a dual 16G kit?

Question Two
This probably sound really retarded, but if I install a second memory, would it largely increase my power usage? I use this thing for mobility and it'd suck if I have to charge it after one hour of using it.

i'm trying to do some cosmetic blocking with ublock origin. the problem is that a website uses nth-of-type(*) where * is a number which changes depending on the page i load.

is there any way to block all possible numbers like there is with pictures by using *.png, *.jpg, etc or do i have to make a list of all the numbers and block them individually?

>>57813565
Alright, I think I might just take you up on that. I'll send a PM shortly.

I'm about to be a PCI-E wifi card.

Thinking of getting TL-WDN4800.

My wifi modem at the moment is broadcasting a 2.4Ghz band as well as a 5Ghz band signal.

The network card I'm getting supports dual-band...

Does that actually mean I can connect to both bands at the same time?

Are there actually any advantages to this?

I ask because, many laptops, phones support both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, but they seem to only ever pick one or the other, not both signals.

Am I just wasting money? And should buy a 5Ghz network card only?

Sucks bro. If you have another one, you'll need to set it up in whatever program you're using. If you're emulating our playing most games, they usually have configurations built in.

Is an SSD still faster than a standard HDD even if both the SSD and HDD are hooked up to the motherboard via SATA III?

My PC has two hard drives:

SSD: 250GB Samsung 850 EVO via SATA III

HDD: 1TB Western Digital WD10EZEX @ 7200RPM via SATA III

Is there a way to test the read/write speeds of my drives?

Being connected to SATA III basically removes any potential interface-based bottlenecking from both drives, but SSDs are still much faster than even the fastest HDDs (on average achieving around twice the data rate of a high end HDD or more).

At this time, SATA III is basically little more than future-proofing, as even SSDs typically aren't even able to max it out yet.

As for testing, just take a look around for hard drive benchmarking tools.
