Any LAME transcoder with a GUI for Linux?

has cock.li changed their identification mechanism? thunderbird is bugging me about an old cert or something

From previous thread:

Trying to plug an used GPU into an also used rig I bought, but when booting the PC doesnt "beep" nor display anything.

I tested the GPU on my old rig and it works well.

PSU from new rig is actually more powerful than old rig.

There seems to be no damage to the PCIe port on the new MoBo

What can I do to make it work?

If I use a vpn should I still block scripts? I am on gnu/linux so I am not worried about getting viruses or malware. I also have ublock origin and https everywhere as well.

>>58505086

Did you try different ports on the non-working rig? Also, can the mobo of the non-working rig actually support the GPU in question?

Just because it fits doesn't mean it's supported...

AutoHotKey noob here - I want to make a script for Win10 that will press Windows key, tab, tab, and enter after pressing ctrl + Win. It would open up the Start Menu with the hamburger at the top left already pressed (I think it looks better, isn't cluttered by that list of programs). I can't figure out the script though - what I have isn't working, how should I do it? Thanks in advance

Left with an iphone 4s since my mom got a carrier upgrade. Should I re-purpose it for anything interesting or sell it?

>>58505086
check display option in bios

>>58506044

I would sell it as I am not sure Apple's walled garden approach would allow you to easily repurpose it.

>>58506069
Well I take it I would need to jailbreak it or something to re-purpose it. Probably will just sell as it is in mint condition and only 16gb so can't really use as a mp3.

>>58504882

Oh so that's where that fucking reaction image comes from.

>>58505945
if you had any reason to block scripts without a VPN, you have almost all those reasons with a VPN.

>>58506044
sell it

Kind of two questions in one.

Can a CPU bottleneck cause stuttering and tearing?

Think I need to get one anyway since it's at its limits streaming video fullscreen on my 4k monitor.

The problem is, I'm on a $350 budget and nothing seems sufficiently better than my i5-4670k. What should I get, if anything?

>>58506644
>cause stuttering and tearing
No, you would just get fps drops

> limits streaming video fullscreen on my 4k monitor
>4670k
Are you using the igpu or something? You should not be experiencing this if you aren't. If you are then not sure. I have a 4670k as well.

Buying a phone for my mum, is the oneplus x good? I was also thinking about the redmi note 4 pro. Anything better in this price range?

Is it possible to download an entire island for offline use in Google Maps?

>>58506684
No, I have a GTX 1070; I'm confident that's not the issue but I could never know.

I might be stressing myself out over CPU thermometer values since thermal management has been difficult, but just fullscreening a Twitch stream can send it to the mid-60s C.

Still, there's a lot of tearing and suttering with both video streaming and just scrolling through webpages that's rather annoying.

Is it the monitor itself that's just not powerful enough to push 60 frames per second at 4k resolution? Did I cuck myself buying it?

>dorm has 2 ethernet wall jacks with 100Mbps bandwidth each in addition to the WiFi
>roommate moved out so I have the whole room to myself
Should I get a NIC to utilize the additional bandwidth (ex. WLAN0 for web browsing, ETH0 for vidya, and ETH1 for large downloads/VOIP/misc.)? What program do you recommend for managing which network traffic will be routed to which interface (I use Windows 10 or Fedora Linux depending on my mood)?

Any good SumatraPDF-like program on Linux?

Downloading isn't the problem but rather how big an area you can download in one shot. Google is the one that defines how big that is. That said you probably can get the entire island in one go. Maps will give you a list of areas it has saved so you can see if you got it all or need to download the areas around what you already have.

Does having a lot of #IfWinActive blocks in AutoHotkey eventually slow it down or cause it to bloat and fuck up your system performance? Use these all the time to configure keybinds for programs or games that don't otherwise let you change this stuff, and tend to just leave them there even after I don't use the program anymore so I've amassed a lot of them. Worries me whether it's having to constantly check the context against a growing list of 100+ things every time I press a key now or something.

Windowsfag here
so something very strange happened recently
changes were made to my OS but I didn't make them
An application that I gave administrative privileges to and have been using daily for like a year suddenly lost it's admin priv
And my windows updates were somehow changed from check for updates to check and download updates
I think these events occured at the same time but I could be wrong
Does anyone have any explanations for why either of these happened?

>>58507812
Thanks anon

>>58508976
If you are worried just reinstall windows.

Check Event viewer.

>>58509022

I'm more just curious as to wtf caused could have caused these things

Is life really worth living?

How come sometimes when I change my resolution using nircmd, then run a full-screen program, when I alt-tab out of it it will go back to my default resolution? (And go back to the resolution I chose only when I alt-tab back into the full-screen program.)

I actually like this and find it convenient but I'm confused as to what causes it since it doesn't happen when I change resolution with AMD profiles or manually in Windows. Does nircmd use a different mechanism to change resolution that behaves differently in how it interacts with programs?

>>58509035
>i'm not worried, should I be?
Usually when something you never touch changes one does.

>>58509072

Very good point
Tbh I'm pretty sure I'm subconsciously forcing myself to not be worried because i'm fairly sure i'm not competent enough to figure out wtf happened
prime example idk where tf to look for the updates in event viewer
and also it was a while ago
like maybe a couple of weeks
or maybe a couple of months.
Also I haven't done any office installs
But I just checked defender and it is on, although I don't know if this is something I turned on myself either lol
I remember I asked /g/ if they had it on or not and followed what they did, so do you use it?
because if not then it may have turned itself on

>>58509407
If you disable it trough windows defender settings it will continue to download updates, you have to turn the service off.

Just dont worry at this point, run malwarebytes, adwcleaner, make updates manual again, and give the program admin privileges again.

Do you think it is irresponsible for us to build our society to be so dependent on technology? I mean what would happen if every technological artifact disappeared overnight? Probably billions of people would starve and we'd be unable to get back to where we were within any reasonable amount of time because nobody has the ability to build any of these things by themselves anymore, it's all got to be scaled up to with all kinds of different facilities to make each part. Very precarious if you ask me.

I have a fresh install of Windows 7 with Realtek RTL8168 ethernet. The internet connection is very poor, opening a file will download quickly at first but then slow to a crawl and likely stall all together. I know it's not the internet connection because my roommate is sitting six feet away with Windows 7 and it's working perfectly fine.

The way the speed suddenly scales down makes me think it's some sort of TCP window scaling issue.

Do you want to burn them into the image so they're actual hardsubs (rarely the ideal option, and you'll lose quality since you have to reencode, but sometimes unavoidable if you're adding subtitles to a videogame you're hacking or something) or just merge them into the mkv file without reincoding?

Huh. I'd see if there's some other program running that manages that stuff then. I've had some computers that had that, the Realtek Audio Manager is a common one (though of course it will depend on what your hardware is)

I dont really think its worth it. Just route everything over eth0 and set bandwidth limits for torrents. That's the easiest solution. On windows I wouldn't know how to six that, but on Linux you could make iptable rules for 80 and 443/TCP on eth0 and whatever torrenting port you use on wlan 0.

It doesn't lower the lifespan of the SSD, because it doesn't mean that any extra data is written to the disk.

How far can you un-botnet Windows 10? I typically use 7, but I've used 10 in the past with no issues by just disabling/uninstalling all the extra BS I don't use in PowerShell, basically trying to set it up as 7.

Is the Windows 10 botnet just a meme?

>>58511467
Depends. Versions newer than 7 won't run some really old games that rely on DirectDraw (since support was completely axed in 8 and above) and while it does some emulation shit that fixes some of them many won't work at all, so if you plan to be playing a lot of that sort of games 7 might be a safer bet.

Seeing CrystalDiskInfo beind discussed I decided to check it out because my laptop has been giving me SMART warnings for the last half a year - but only since I messed about with my hard disk and tried to remove the recovery partition (I can't because of where the boot sector is located).
Now I am wondering, has deleting the partition and then reintroducing caused these errors, or are these simply a large chunk of false positives?
It's 8GB of dead disk, half the recovery partition size.

It looks very bad, so is it just best to clone and replace?

>>58511727
There's also no point to defragmenting an SSD. The data is all split up by nature. So a partition wouldn't be all in one place like on an HDD, and the OS doesn't even see where the data is or control where files are written to

>>58511727
>I understand
No, you don't.
It's not that it's bad, it's that there's literally no fucking point and it just wastes drive writes.
On a rotating drive, you defrag it to keep system files and often-used files towards the edge of the platter where the platter is rotating fastest (ie. it reads fastest), whereas in SSDs there are no moving parts.

>>58511735
Reallocated sectors means that sectors are failing - and eventually the disk will run out of unmapped sectors (all disks ship with a certain amount of unmapped sectors that it can remap data to), and you'll get get an increasing uncorrectable_sector_count which will mean permanent dataloss. Clone that fucker ASAP and get rid of it, preferably with thermite.

oh wow. That's not related to anything you did, except maybe if you dropped your laptop or something.
Chances are a decent amount of the data you have on that drive is corrupted already and it definitely needs replacing

Every now and then Windows tells me that my HDD is failing. I then proceed to run crystal disk info, speccy and samsung magician's SMART thing and they all tell me the problem is the read error rate, but everything else is fine. But then after a while (usually on the same day) the problem seems to go away.

How worried should I be? I sometimes notice small slow downs when accessing data that's on the HDD but other than that it doesn't seem to be malfunctioning

>>58511764
Yeah, I was just adding together numbers in my head and coming up with 18 years too. It's surprising it's lasted this long, actually.

>>58511774
Read Error Rate counter increasing usually means there's physical damage on the platter itself. Back up your data/clone it elsewhere, and get a new drive.

>But exactly how many total bytes written would defragging, say, 5 gigs worth of data, consume?
depends
in an extreme example, lets say the filesystem uses 4k clusters, and everything is completely fragmented (as in every cluster isn't where it should be)
lets also say the ssd has 512k blocks
lets also say there is no write optimization done by the OS (no attempt to write multiple filesystem clusters at the same time to the ssd)
in this case every defragment operation will effective cause 512k of the ssd to be written for every 4k cluster, causing 640G of writes overall. this is called write amplification

in practice your OS should be trying to optimize writes such that many clusters are written next to each other at the same time, causing multiple 4k clusters to only cause a single 512k block to be written, minimizing write amplification

but yea, assuming those numbers, anything from 0 (no fragmentation) to 5G (completely fragmented but perfectly optimized process) to 640G (completely fragmented and completely unoptimized process)

I believe ACHI mode is required for flashing new firmware onto the drive that it can make use of the next time it starts - otherwise you have to flash the drive while it's not mounted.

That's vertical tearing.

Files usually also have a MIME type by which you can tell which file it is.

CHKDSK reports no errors.
CrystalDisk reports 2 Pending Sectors.

Which do I believe?

Thanks for the reply.
I tried booting with AHCI mode enabled but the OS told me there was an error and it would reboot itself, so I switched back to IDE.
I'm confident that this is an issue with the motherboard and how the control drivers for the sata connections have been installed (they weren't on this new install). I'm still getting the SSD speeds so I won't worry about it for now I guess.

i think i did it

if anyone cares

import os
ext_headers = {
    "gif": [b"\x47\x49\x46\x38\x39\x61", b"\x47\x49\x46\x38\x37\x61"],
    "jpg": [b"\xFF\xD8"],
    "png": [b"\x89\x50\x4E\x47\x0D\x0A\x1A\x0A"]
}
renames = {}
for filename in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
    if not os.path.isfile(filename):
        continue
    with open(filename, "rb") as file:
        for extension, magicnumbers in ext_headers.items():
            for magicnumber in magicnumbers:
                file.seek(0)
                if file.read(len(magicnumber)) != magicnumber:
                    continue
                renames[filename] = os.path.splitext(filename)[0] + "." + extension
                break
for oldname, newname in renames.items():
    os.rename(oldname, newname)

>>vertical tearing
But it's in a square where it's out a sync not a line cutting the screen. I thought vertical tearing was only when it covered from top to bottom?

Forgot to reply

Yep, I expected that. Your Windows will keep giving you that error because Microsoft fucking suck and can't figure out that switching between IDE and AHCI drives requires a regedit: http://winaero.com/blog/switch-from-ide-to-achi-after-installing-windows-7-or-windows-8/

kek, adding (You) manually.

Crystaldisk. Windows doesn't have direct access to S.M.A.R.T. statistics, probably for licensing reasons

If I want to move a game from the SSD to the HDD and one the other way around, is it enough to just move the files or do I have to reinstall them from scratch?

>>58513358
If the game has been installed, you need to change any pointers to redirect to the games new location. There's instructions for doing this on steam. You could also use symbolic links for the folders containing the games

OnePlus X. No, but I've put the microSD in an SD adaptor and that works fine.

I have a Seagate SSHD that I have no use for.

Is there any reason not to use this as a storage drive? I'm replacing my laptop's HDD with a SSD and I have this extra SSHD lying around.

chkdsk only looks for filesystem errors
>CrystalDisk reports 2 Pending Sectors.
those are disk issues, different level
