I've never used any anti-ESD stuff when working with computer hardware myself and I've never broken anything. You'll have to be pretty unlucky to break anything with static electricity. Touch something grounded like a water tap to discharge yourself before your open the case and it should be fine.

I'm looking for a music player that has a shuffle/random option that is TRULY random.

The situation is this:

I have a very large music library that I load into my music player (5000 songs+)

I've tried 4 different music players and I ALWAYS GET THE SAME FUKCING SONGS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN

IT'S SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING

What is this shit?

Are they using some sort of windows functionality to generate "randomness?"

I have thousands of hours of music and get the same artists, same songs every fucking time every hour.

I don't care what solves this, I'd even pay money for proprietary software.

Yeah, I've read this.

The problem is, out of thousands of songs, I've only ever heard around 100 so far.

If I randomly click anything at the playlist, I've never heard the song before.

But with "random" or "shuffle" functionality in players, I get the same patterns, the same music, the same artists, over and over and over and over again. It really ruined the music collection for me because some songs I've heard 10 times, some never.

All I want is some kind of random seed. Like using system time or I don't know, fluctuations in CPU temperature to generate something truly random.

It's making me pull my hair out, I usually never get angry like this.

Push the latch thing on the top down and then just pull it out. It's usually very firm, you need some muscle to pull it out. If you're having difficulties then remove the graphics card from motherboard first to get more room.

Continuation of >>58035788 from last night, still looking for the cause of the issue.
I've pretty much narrowed it down to either the motherboard or the CPU that's fucked up. Swapping in my own GPU and RAM didn't fix it, and neither did testing each DIMM slot.
I did notice something interesting, though. Even though it locks up when booting into the Windows 7 partition/recovery disc or the Ubuntu and Arch discs, the "Tiny XP" and Linux recovery systems included in Hiren's Boot CD load perfectly fine.

Okay, I found a workaround.

There's a "randomize playlist" function in foobar and Winamp.

I did that a couple of times and then just play the tracks sequentially.

The last 30 tracks I've listened to I've never heard in my life. After weeks of hearing the same fucking shit out of the gigantic playlist, I'm not hearing songs for the first time.

Whoever developed this shuffle and random feature needs to be gassed.

Nvidia GeForce Experience just flat out won't work for me.
I've used DDU and reinstalled the drivers countless times and it just never works.
I've had this problem since 3.0 (or whenever it started looking like this) came out.
I tried installing an older version but Shadowplay wouldn't even function and it never even found an update.
I've tried everything I can think of, and everything suggested on forums from other people having similar problems. DDU, repairing vcredist, renaming my user account, installing GFE separately, disabling my firewall, etc.
I even tried my brother's GPU (GFE works fine for him) and it still didn't work.
The only thing I can think to try now is reinstalling windows but that's fucking annoying.

I don't think you understand true randomness. Try rolling a 6 sided die and see how often you get recurring numbers.
What you actually want is music shuffling which keeps track of what songs are played how many times and decreases probability accordingly. There's a few out there for Foobar2000, but I'm not at my computer right now, and I can't remember them off the top of my head - I do know they make use of My-/MS-/Postge-/No-SQL database, though.

If you actually want True Randomness and not a number from a pseudo-RNG (and no, not even 2.4GHz ISM sampling, cpu fluctuations or system-time generate enough entropy), you're going to want to use a datasource like http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/

I know some of you guys stream once in a while, so what do yall use?

I use Steam's Streaming service directly to steam or Facebook for Hearthstone.

There's no phone app so it can stream in browser maybe?

I want to make a script that changes my wallpaper, and i3 colorscheme based on the time of day or button press. The wallpaper part should be easy since it's basically what I do now in my xinit.

For some reason both my laptop and phone fail to access certain very specific sites, like Google's support, Youtube (okay my phone can access Youtube but it has to be through the app and it doesn't display thumbnails), and my college e-mail. However, it isn't a problem with the network I'm connected to, as my parents' laptop can connect to both from the exact same network. It also isn't a problem for my devices themselves, as both worked earlier with campus internet.

Browsers say the issue is that I just can't connect when I try to load the relevant pages, but, like I said, my internet works just fine for the vast majority of sites and it does work on other machines.

Any help with this? I'm utterly stumped; Google is giving me answers to questions I'm not asking at all.

Can anyone help me, I'm losing my mind over this:

I moved my PC to the other room, because I was painting this one. I moved it back, connected everything, and I get no signal on the monitor (I'm using DVI-I single link to VGA ), and try fiddling with it, still no signal. I moved in my old GPU, thinking it was the cable, and it worked both with VGA-VGA and DVI-I-VGA.
Now I again moved in my current one (GTX 960), and again, no signal. Now I'm all fuck it, it's GPU not the cable, so I moved back in the old one cause I'll have to wait some time for warranty, and now neither DVI-I nor VGA connections are working, and having no signals on two different monitors.
Also I would like to note, on the back plate (one with connections), metal looks heat tinted like pic related. All colors as well.

Not really, most of those are from humblebundle or similar shit.

I currently have this graphics card that I got a few years ago on a recommendation from a friend, XFX R9 280x.

One of the fans is wobbling and making a colossal amount of noise when it has to spin any faster than like 3 rpm, and I'm pretty sure I registered it within 30 days for the lifetime warranty.

So I'm definitely going to get it warrantied, but is this graphics card still decent? Because if it's garbage now I will not even open the box when it comes back and ebay it for something better. But if it's still decent I'll just use it.

well thats the problem with *buntu. arch linux might have an assbackward install method that could easily be done by a script with just as much flexibility, but it more than makes up for it as far as userfriendliness with packages, especially the aur (one place for third party, instead of 3000 different ppas? THAT ACTUALLY PULLS REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPILATION?). all around the best distro ive used and yet i cant be arsed to reinstall it

at least i got this shit to work, quake 2 on nightmare is actually pretty challenging and definitely more fun than i was expecting

Samson Go mic $40, or FiFine K668 mic $25?

those two models sounded the clearest in this video, which one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx-UBF3RpIg&spfreload=10

the Samson Go is clearer than the K668, and I think it makes more sense to drop a little extra cash on one of those things which you only buy once. However, the K668 is awesome for its price, and has a better stand and look than the other mic

Okay. I'm a dumbass and I'm on a trip for three weeks, but I forgot my laptop's charger...

What do?
>>
>>58056174
Can you not bring a flash drive with MPC-HC portable on it or something, so you won't need to install anything? Regardless yeah it should.
>>
>>58056193
Copy protection is the issue

Unless you want to pay for a new charger (which depending on your laptop, can be expensive) and have it shipped via amazon or something, you're shit out of luck.

Raspi if you mean IRC server, not computer. Though if you want gigabit ethernet, you're gonna want a different board.

is there a trustworthy source for a portable VLC binary?

you literally just run these and choose your flash drive's letter.
>>
>>58056260
No, just to check and use IRC and leave it running 24/7.
>>
>>58056314
mind me asking why though? why does it need to be running 24/7? Can you not just use IRC on your normal computer?

but yeah, I mean you could just get a raspi and run a minimal linux distro with just an IRC client, it will do the job just fine and use <10w of power

What makes a device bootable?

Do I have to download their weird-ass "platform" first, or just the exe for the player?
>>
>>58056349
you can run just the installer. It's pretty much a glorified self-extracting zip.

the "platform" is meant to be run from a flash drive, it spawns a tray icon for a small startmenu-esque launcher that can download/update portable versions of applications through their repo. It also works for any other applications outside of their repo, so if you were to put a folder for Quake or something in there, it would add a program icon for it in their menu. I used this software all throughout high school.

Why is it that MP3 is an especially poor lossy codec to transcode from? I transcoded a 320k MP3 and a q6 Vorbis file to files with the same output codec/bitrate (AAC q54 – encoded with qaac/iTunes) – the file transcoded from the Vorbis source sounded better (perhaps even transparent or at least without reasonably noticeable artifacts), whereas the file transcoded from the MP3 had easily noticeable ringing artifacts.

Note that the Vorbis file is using a significantly lower bitrate which is more than commensurate with the difference in MP3 vs Vorbis efficiency. This rules out the mere efficiency differential of the codecs as the cause of the poor transcode from MP3 – clearly MP3 features some other caveat in its design which makes it a poor source for transcoding, independent of its bitrate.

What is it about the way MP3 is encoded which makes it a poorer source than other newer codecs?

The adhesive on my phone (Galaxy S4 SCH-I545) is coming undone, so the touchscreen is popping up out of the frame. Would it be safe to just gorilla glue it back down? There's no actual circuitry around the frame, but it's popping up so far that the home button is getting stuck to a point where I have to pry it free with a toothpick or card. And i'm afraid if I let it go on any further it'll get to a point where the home button's gonna rub up against some piece of circuitry and short the phone.

Valve games are pretty forgiving. Tf2 should be fine.
You should probably get close to that in 1080p on high settings in csgo (260 is a bit under 140, 290 is a bit over 140). Tweak some settings you don't care for and you can probably hit 144

Depends on the device. Floppies, optical media and harddisks/flashdisks all use different methods.

>>58056605
mp4 is just a container - inside there's a video file, an audiofile and posisbly a subtitle file. youtube-dl lets you download the video files directly to your computer - then use avidemux to extract the files and just play the mp3 or aac file.

If so, you can run it directly through a computer, just stick in the USB.

Or if you want to run it through speakers, plug em into the rear panel. It's got a built in preamp, so no need to add one.
