Do you guys know how to set up a simple hold-down autoclicker? I wanna use the Kek-9 in CS:GO but I can't click fast enough because I'm Canadian and its consistently -30 Celcius (-22F for you Amerifats), and my hands are ice blocks.

Thinking of buying 2 of pic related. I currently have a 32" 1440p monitor as my main display and am looking to add 2 monitors above it. One oriented sideways like normal for watching a movie or streaming netflix while gaming. The other situated vertically for browsing the web.

anyone have this monitor? Or Acer monitor in general? How are they. I have no intention of gaming on these 2 monitors.

I want to buy an rx 480 8gb. My question is if I wait, when are the new AMD and NVIDIA cards comming out?

>>57942506
not soon enough to matter. Don't play the waiting game. Is the RX480 going to meet your needs NOW? Buy it.

>>57942562
Ill just be playing at 1080p

What's the daily write limit for a HDD?

>>57942587
the RX480 is basically a lower power R9-390 really. The 390 was getting outperformed at 1080p by most mid range Nvidia cards.

Does your monitor have Freesync? Do you play a lot of games that use DX12? If not buy a gtx 1060 6GB. The 480 is a better long term investment in regards to DX12 implementation in later games, but for the hear and now, the 1060 performs very well at 1080p.
>>57942588
limit? You mean theoretical? Assuming an HDD doesn't have its read or write head fail, or its control board die, a mech disc can go for years. I had a Seagate 1TB disk only just recently fail me after almost 90TB of use over the course of 4 years. It was also refurbed when I bought it too.

I dont have a freesync monitor but im thinking of getting one because my current one is a tv. I dont play alot of games that use dx12 because most games dont use them. I was thinking of geting the rx 480 8gb instead of the gtx 1060 6gb because of more vram and more cheaper

AMD freesync + RX 480 would definitely be a cheaper combo than 1060 and G-sync. Dell makes a 60hz Freesync 1080p 24' monitor for $150 now.

But yea like I said. 480 will outperform the 1060 at really anything above 1080p. 1440p and up is when the AMD cards start to shine. That and also like I said, longevity.
The RX480 will age way better than the 1060 in regards to performance over time. Case in point, my buddy's radeon 7970 he bought at launch was still kicking ass until a few weeks ago. Only replaced it because the fan went on it and any after market cooler worth using was $60 minimum.

>>57943036
>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5770271/how-to-get-and-or-overwrite-the-minimum-size-of-windows-in-mac-osx

unfortunately not. Apart from a few comments discussing potential issues of resizing window, the only answer there clearly states that minimum window sizes are blocked in the interface builder part of MacOS.

My next question, or at least concern, is that I occasionally see people in desktop threads with MacOS. They have really clean fully riced setups. I wish I knew where to even start. I did some ricing in arch but that's because with arch you basically have to build it from the ground up. It's more complicated when I'm trying to tear down what's already installed.

Just got a new ssd. I've been working off a single 500GB HDD for years, and everything's on there. I want to move my OS and important stuff to my SSD but I can't just migrate everything and move it back over as I need to since the storage used on my current HDD is like 300gb~ and my ssd is 128. How to fix?

So for some reason the English spec sheet for my TV model does not list the native bit depth, but I managed to track down the German one, which listed it as 10-bit. Is it safe to assume that the US model of the TV will have the same bit depth?

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it to set up a blog om Wordpress.org over Wordpress.com.

For .org:
>needing hosting space
use bluehost
>need to deal with own security and speed
cloudflare
>need own domain
Get one from a registrar


Is there any other major maintenance con of wordpress.org that I need to mitigate for? I want to run a blog but with much greater customisation than .com while keeping maintenance and coding knowledge requirement as low as possible.

What's the deal if my traffic gets high, does it get very expensive to host high traffic on a wordpress.org and where does that cost come from?

Tl;dr I just want a super-customisable wordpress site but for basic blogging, so as minimal maintenance as possible, what else do I probably need?

I need to upload some information on a disk , but I've never done it before. What kind of a disk do I need to buy? And is there a difference when uploading a presentation with couple of photos and when I'm uploading videos ?

>upload some information on a disk
so you want to upload a file or multiple files?
you don't need a disk for that.

I'm going to buy a motherboard for i5-6500, as it's not K I don't plan to overclock ever, but I have a choice of Z170 or H170 mobos that cost the same, yet H170 is maybe slightly better equipped, but Z170 has overclocking capabilities plus probably something more over H170 that I don't even know
The mobos in question are both ASRock:
>Z170M PRO4S
>H170M PRO4
any opinions which to choose ?

>>57944686
Z170

>>57944670
Yes it does, just not for general release yet

>>57944682
you can only have one vararg parameter and it has to be the last one.
how would it know when one stops and the second one starts?
it can't.

>>57944700
So the best you can get is 6700k

>>57944686
If they're the same price, go Z170.

You still kinda can overclock non-K skylake if you downgrade your BIOS.

Does Z170 have other benefits over H170 that is not overclocking ?

Pretty sure the only difference between the thumbnail URL and the full image is the thumbnail contains an "s" at the end. So just strip that character and you should get the full images.

No. Less support, more chance of bugs.
If, no, when you run into a problem, it will be easier to find solutions for it if you, as a beginner, are using a more traditional distro.

I came back from uni to stay with my family on Holiday and they asked me if I could buy a new router for the house.

Currently everything is covered, but the problem is that there are too many devices here and the current router doesn't have enough processing power to handle everything.

My parents are also cheap, so they asked for something not so expensive. I was thinking about buying the Archer C7 v2, is it a good one?

Here's what you think of it: It's okay, who needs audio anyway, you'll watch movies without audio.

>>57946683
>without subtitles
Why did you say that? I can put subtitles on it. I'm not having problem with this feature... Except by the fact that the subtitles are always written on white, without borders. So they are unreadable on some scenes.

>>57946813
Yes, throw that shit into a river
It doesn't even support HEVC so it'll be obsolete in a couple of years anyway

>>57946813
you could just transcode the audio, it shouldn't take long

>>57946860
>throw that shit into a river
Wouldn't it be better to ask the technician who installed it to replace for a better model?

>>57946884
It won't be as satisfying but sure

>>57946653
>and which containers does it support? mp4?
The manual does not say anything about containers. But I tested and it can play MKV and AVI, at least (for videos...).

>if I'd buy one today I'd at least get one with HEVC/vp8/vp9 support and mkv support
Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there a downside to leaving my DAC default sample rate at 96khz even when listening to content that is not recorded at that rate? Should I just set it to 44.1 or 48 and only raise it when appropriate?

>>57946620
bump

>>57947434
As long as you're not experiencing any cut-outs, loud pops or buffer underruns you're fine. The daily use profit is pretty much nonexistent since most content is either 44.1khz or 48khz. So apart from a very few scenarios you won't be noticing any difference.

I'd be way too lazy to switch the sample rate every time though, so as long as you don't have any of the issues listed above you're good.

How do i turn off thingy in bottom left (link reader?) in Chrome?

>>57948356
transcode is the same thing as re-encode (decode, followed by an encode)
what i said was trancode /only/ the audio, which is quite fast
the video works already, right? so just copy that across

for example,

ffmpeg input.mp4 -map 0 -c copy -c:a libfdk_aac -vbr 4 output.mp4

any audio tracks with be transcoded into AAC, but other tracks (video, subtitles) will be left as-is

encoding audio is pretty fast, most likely the speed will be limited by your hdd, if you output directly onto your usb drive, you may not lose any time at all

>>57948416

you can't.

So I went on kissanime.io -- a mirror of the video streaming site kissanime.to. .io was recently found to be a phishing website rather than a change in domain -- two days ago and watched something. I don't have an account on there or nothing so I didn't log in. But I did watch a video and I know embedded videos can carry malware. I used an uBlockOrigin

I've run two virus scans each with different software (malwarebytes and avast) and they're showing up nothing, which is making me feel more twitchy than if they found something.

1. What are some good measures for me to take right now? Am I just lucky and didn't get any? What could they actually have gotten from me by visiting and watching videos?

The problem is, some users on the web reported issues in running at 2560x1440 with the same card. In particular, 2560x1600@60 Hz is listed under supported resolutions, while 2560x1440 is not; as a result, some user on the web reported that they had to reduce the refresh rate to use 2560x1440 with the same card. Is there actually a limitation due to the use of hdmi (hdmi v1.3 should support up to 2560x1600@60 Hz) or is this a driver/configuration issue which one could easily overcome?

What's the usual punishment for indecent exposure? Got arrested last night and not sure if I should be worried about this or not. Court date is still a ways off.

>>57949755
I wouldn't worry. Generally if you keep your software up to date you won't usually be vulnerable to the kind of thing that can infect you just from watching a video. Those kinds of exploits are patched quickly since they represent a big danger to users. As long as you didn't install some "codec" it was telling you you needed or something you should be fine.

>>57949939
None of that is relevant.
If your monitor only supports 60mhz,then you're stuck at using what ever mode it supports @60mhz. If your monitor is 144mhz,yet again, it matters what modes your monitor supports,60 or 144mhz

This was a quote from Barney Frank, a former congressman.

http://www.out.com/news-opinion/2015/3/20/barney-frank-friday

"When I first thought about politics in 1954, being gay was so universally despised, it was something I was going to have to try to repress. As I went forward, I discovered that repression actually worked and I got into a couple jobs, chief assistant to the mayor and then the legislature. I did make this conscious choice: I won’t be honest. I want very much to be in politics. I’ll have to not act on being gay, I would have to keep it quiet. But I will always be an advocate. I may be a coward, but I will always be a supporter. And because nobody else wanted to do it, I wound up being a primary supporter of the gay rights bill, not something I wanted, but I could not walk away from that.”

"For those like Ben Carson, who just announced that it was a choice, I do want to say at 14 I did not choose to be a member of what I thought was the most hated group in America. That was not a typical teenage reaction at the time.”

So you mean I should be safer with a 2560x1600 monitor since 2560x1440 is not recommended by Intel, even if I should be able to drive a 2560x1440 monitor with the same card by adding a custom resolution? Could I cause damage to the monitor if instead I use a custom 2560x1440 resolution?

>>57950358
Always use the advertised resolution / refresh rate. It's safe to go lower if you have a reason to, but never higher. Otherwise you're overworking the monitor's internals and it won't make things look better even, it'll just be harder to use.

No good reason. Also, since the screen only has enough pixels to manage the recommended resolution, a DSR (dynamic super resolution) would do NOTHING useful, since it merely simulates a higher resolution. It's pretty useless. You need more physical pixels in a screen to get higher quality. Forcing 4K on a 1080p screen doesn't magically give you 4K.

Enable if your rig can handle it without hurting performance. It ensures pixel consistency, but naturally requires more work from the GPU / CPU

>>57950416
Oh, thought it was the other way around

In this case, still no. Because 2560x1440 is a different aspect ratio than 2560x1600. You *can* do it, but you'll get a hideous image.
