How did the whole CRF scaling between H264 and HEVC turn out? Last I heard they were not equal, has that changed?

ei does CRF 22 for H264 = CRF 22 for HEVC?

if a router claims to have 1000base-t WAN and LAN ports, I should be able to get 1gbps of data over the wired connection, right? i have fibre broadband and I don't want to drop money on a wifi router just to throttle my wired speed. I already made that mistake once

i've tried looking up benchmarks but obviously everybody focuses on the wifi performance not the LAN performance

what's the difference between a writer and a linguist?

I have a hard drive from my old laptop I used to have
Is it possible to see whats in it connecting it to my PC without deleting everything on it?

Any software that allows me to search a image on google by right clicking a image from my computer and selecting a option?

>>59356434
Why would you want that? Is uploading to google image search too much trouble? Because giving a program that looks data on your pc up on the internet isnt something Id want around

>>59356335
ok, so what does a computer scientist do? for a job?

How do I make linux look like windows 7?

>>59356456
i mean are you just fishing for a joke about "making muh coffee" or are you genuinely curious

there's a lot of overlap, you can get a job as a programmer with a background in compsci

>>59356503
i'm genuinely curious
i was on /sci/ and one guy said computer scientists don't just make apps. Most businesses need database admins, web developers, etc.
and then another guy said those aren't computer scientists, those are programmers
i never knew there was a diff
thread is dead btw so i couldn't ask them

Is there any NAS without the network part? Some RAID storage that allows viewing its content but without risk of it getting shit up by insecure WIFI or whatever.

>>59356573
>Is there a Network Attached storage without a network?

>>59356573
yes, its called an internal hard drive

>>59356557
so do computer scientists start working towards their degrees with the mindset of working for the government?
seems kinda weird

>>59356728
as in alphabet agencies pick them up for their deep knowledge

people work towards degrees because they are excited about the content

if you do a degree for the money you may get at a job you might get after youll never get through a degree like cs

>>59356531
I'd only call someone with a Ph.D. in Computer Science an actual "computer scientist." Someone with a BS or MS is just a developer, typically.

>>59356818
>i have no idea what im talking about

where can I get a windows 7 ultimate 64 bit ISO? haven't needed it for a while and I didn't realize digital river died

>>59356749
but they're not theoretical scientists right? because in science "deep knowledge" typically means theoretical level

>>59356843
Of course there is a difference between a programmer and a computer scientist. But a BS in CS is not going to qualify you for a job as "computer scientist," as far as I am aware. An MS might, but I've always thought a Ph.D. truly made someone a "scientist."

Alright /g/ I'm going fucking insane and no one knows what's going on, maybe someone in these threads knows.
Long story short, fell into a bsod loop and nothing works, a recovery media usb jumps into the same loop and shows me SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED(acpi.sys) when I access repair or usb or a black screen with error 0x00000031 and parameters with all zeros, I've tried this on over 4 usbs and redownloaded the tool and installed with rufus several times, this happens even on a completely formatted clean windows install HDD, however, both hdds that I used on the bsod pc work perfectly fine on another pc, no issues.
>"Oh well it's just hardware then"
That's what I thought, after a lot of troubleshooting, memtest, hdd checks, booting with only select hardware and other shit nothing works, everything seems perfectly healthy, great temps and fans spinning fine.
>"Then it must be the mobo anon"
Yes, but then I was able to install linux distros, ubuntu, arch, etc on these hdds with no issue what so ever, they run flawlessly.
However, anything windows that I use on this particular pc shits the bed, even if it's completely formatted and removed all partitions and what not, while linux works perfectly fine.
I'm out of ideas, I don't know what's going on and I actually do need windows on this pc, sorry if it doesn't fits the thread but I'm fucking desperate right now, it's been days.

How do i make my i3wm doesnt turn off my screen after 30 mins?(this is the default behaviour).
I tryed adding this to my /.xinitrc but didnt work:

xset s off

xset s noblank

what else can i try? Thanks.

>>59357056
I would need a computer for that, idea is some kinda small NAS box.

>>59357077
here in aus there are two streams of higher education

VET, which gives you CERT 1, 2, 3, 4 or a diploma in X topic
HE, which is uni

ALL devs I know have a diploma AT MOST. Their skillset is WILDLY different to compsci. The devs I know (and in general) couldnt form a deep search function. Thats because theres no need for that as a dev. Its not a skill that comes up. Conversely, compsci wont learn how to stand up and use an ES6 server

>>59357161
get the fuck out you filthy phone poster

The answer to your question is yes and no depending on how you want to slice it.

you require the network capabilities of the nas box to set it up initially. Once youve condfigured it, sure I guess you could disable all interfaces.

but how are you going to use it? why do you want this? what do you want it for? depending on your answers a different solution might come ot mind

>posting from a phone

I want to use the storage ideally through some cable, while maintaining the ability to have a raid and make it as secure as possible from any exploits that synology and other crap is facing. I was thinking about having some plain USB stick (or external harddrive) for that reason, but what USB stick allows to abuse it with just non-safely removing it constantly. (do SSDs survive such abuse maybe?)

>>59357255
all usbs allow you to do this and have zero issues with it. the only reason safely eject exists is so anything being written to disk finished before ejecting the drive. it has nothing to do with the health of the medium

KDE neon vs kubuntu. what's the difference?

>>59357271
I have had atleast 6 usb sticks and 2 external harddrives corrupting on me in the (recent) past, so really bad experience with that.

>>59357308
you use mac?

>>59357271
>>59357308
the only good experience I had with phone memory, but I don't know any external storage that has same capability.

>>59357280
Neon is a DE; Kubuntu is a distro

>>59357321
windows 7,8,10

>>59357332
all i can say is bad luck

mac osx screams at you for not ejecting because the os is constantly writing to the background of the usbs. windows doesnt. linux, yeah its gonna break the os, not the usb if you pull it out while its mounted

>>59357356
Sadly I could not even find any tests or reviews on USB sticks besides their R/W speed, nobody lists how reliable usb sticks are, I dont care to pay over top if this doesnt corrupt on me literally a month later. What about the idea with SSD? could I get those and just use some sort of adapter and just unplug them how freely I want without them breaking?

tl;dr: how reliable are SSDs vs USB sticks when comparing corruption rate

Before editing the config file of irssi was on super user by doing 'sudo su'. Now every time I start irssi i get the default configuration, I have to enter super user for my configuration to load. My question is this: How many config files does irssi have? I wanna backup my current config but .irssi/config doesn't contain my config. Can I export my settings while running irssi?

>>59357384
they are the same thing. ssds and usbs are flash storage. the only reason ssds are faster is the sata/m2; usb is slow as fuck

>>59357455
How punishing are HDDs with just plugging them out? I heard the readhead can easily just shit itself with too much unplug abuse.

If someone were to connect to company VPN through their remote access app (citrix), and send an email through outlook, is it possible to tell that the email was sent while in the remote access desktop as opposed to from that account on a computer on premises?

>>59357656
yes, they can check the logs on the exchange server to see what time it was sent, wether it was via OMA or outlook, and if they really needed to they can check the AD server for your login, wether it was via citrix or on the LAN, then check the logs on the VPN server for the original IP you connected to the VPN with

KDE neon is Ubuntu LTS with bleeding edge KDE packages. It's their workspace for new features.

>>59357330
Wrong, look at above.

>>59358277
Yes, the first thing you should upgrade is your age. Or, in other words, grow up.

>>59358397
>Wrong, look at above
lol youre wrong, thats the official word from the Neon team. so try again cocksucker.

>>59358447
Where do you read that? KDE neon is literally just Ubuntu LTS with the KDE Plasma desktop. They use it to test out their new Qt software.

There is nothing called "the Neon desktop environment". It's called Plasma. Neon is the system itself.

https://neon.kde.org/faq

>What is KDE neon?
>KDE neon is a rapidly updated software repository. Most users will want to use the packages built from released software which will be available soon. KDE contributors and testers can use the packages built from KDE Git. It uses the foundation of the latest Ubuntu LTS (16.04).

Try harder next time.

>>59358504

Is it a distro?

Not quite, it's a package archive with the latest KDE software on top of a stable base. While we have installable images, unlike full Linux distributions we're only interested in KDE software.

Nigga wee are looking at the same fucking docvument

I have this old monitor, MAG Innovision LT716s.
The other day it just died. Nothing happened, no weather, nothing else went wrong. Just... its power went off and wouldn't come back on.
Gave it a good day to rest, tried again, nothing. Not even the indicator will light up.
Everything I google for talks about a monitor turning on for a second or 2, then turning off, but mine won't even turn on at all.
I opened it op to make sure some cable inside didn't come lose, and didn't notice anything wrong with it but outside of a plug not being plugged in I'm not really sure if there's something else I should be looking for.
It's probably just fucked, but I'd be open to more free suggestions.

Hey guys, need some advice.

I have an chinese condenser mic that was nice and cheap but has great sound quality.

It works okay with my sound card but needs phantom power to work at its best.

Are there any sound cards that provide phantom power directly through 3.5mm jack or will I need to purchase external PSU?

In addition, could anyone recommend a sub £50 sound card that will be sufficient for a prosumer application?

Many thanks /g/

dude chill, this is a stupid questions thread

>>59358729
whoops, now i look like a jackass.

i would not recommend using a soundcard thats supplying external power. thats gonna draw a fucktonne more electricity through the pci slot than itll be ok with, and your mobo will meet an earlt death

yes you said you have her password and you have mentioned your story. if shes a slut then do as i said and blast nudes to upper management who are men. fill her H drive with porn. use proxys to actively look up porn. download literal viruses onto a usb stick and inject them. randomely delete shit in the share drive. nigga be fucking creative. youre a moron for getting yourself into this, you should know women are fucking cunts because they know their lives are vapid and boring

Question about streaming software (OBS)
Could I somehow set the stream to use specific cores in my 8 core system, so that performance in games isn't affected as much ? If so, how ?

>>59358781
so I should just get an external PSU for phantom power, gotcha.

What about a soundcard recommendation?
I want very good quality for spoken word projects, and while motherboard sound may be good nowadays, I don't think it would cut it.

Or should I go for an external USB mixer?

>>59357124
Right, I get what you mean. But in the US, people with CS bachelor's degrees generally work as developers. I don't know anyone with a bachelor's degree who works as a "computer scientist." Master's degree, maybe.

>>59358857
i would get a usb interface for sure.

i know you linked the behringer one, but ive never been a fan of their gear. their cheap guitar pedals are okay, and their usb interfaces are shit.

power is power, so id use that psu you linked

i know you said cheap, BUT.

I have found the line 6 interfaces to be AMAZING.

zero latency, easy to install and use (no ASIO4ALL and shit like the other cheap interfaces use)

- it contains registers (buckets that holds bits)
- it contains an ALU (it's just a calculator without the numbers)
- it's got a lot of pins connected to different 'things'

----------

- it can read a bit from RAM -> register
- it can read a bit from register -> RAM
- it can use the ALU

that's it... that's all there is to it! Use this knowledge for good.

Sapphire 290 tri-x, I had a hunch that it could possibly be a faulty amd driver but since it didn't even work on a recently installed hdd I just went for the "It must be hardware" route, but then everything passed and ubuntu is running.

something odd is going on.

a while ago I noticed my download speeds were dropping outta nowhere and them resuming briefly. I called my ISP shortly after and they apparently fixed the problem, for about a minute.

I have a portable air conditioner and today I noticed that, when it's on, my download speeds are normal, but the second I turn it off they tank. and I mean /the second/, so it couldn't be temp related. it and the router are in different power outlets, too. although I'm not sure they're not connected.

I'd check over your bios settings. What do you have for UEFI, secure boot, AHCI, and raid? Try reverting everything back to default settings

>>59361054
I reset the bios via all possible means, cmos battery, jumper, bios option, etc.
None worked.

For settings I also tried several changes excluding raid since I've never touched that function and has always been disabled, tried both legacy and uefi, secure boot is off, AHCI and IDE do nothing.

It's always back to the same two kind of errors.

>>59361048
Wouldn't nessesaryly trust GPU-z. Could just be running off an outdated profile. If you're sure your PSU is strong enough, this could just be a faulty card issue

>>59361048
>>59361087
I really wouldn't buy zotac in the first place, this anon is probably right.

If DDU and driver reinstall does nothing and the card is new then it's likely just the card.

Then it sounds like a hardware issue, something that ubuntu doesn't use or doesn't give a shit about. You could try installing windows 10 to see if it's any different. If you have multiple sticks of ram I'd try removing them one at a time. At that point you might be down to replacing the mobo.

>>59361141
P.S. validuser is in same usergroup as /home/myuser/Public dir.

It's not a new motherboard or build, I'm sorry if I made that apparent.
It's a 1ish year old build that suddenly got bsod in the middle of a windows 10 install, rebooted to check the bsod and while I tried to restart to safe mode, it entered the loop.

>>59361298
windows 10 upgrade I mean

>>59361225
>i don't like deleting defaults even if i don't use them

That is completely counterproductive. Manufacturers don't put that shit on there for your sake, it's straight up bloat that makes them money through deals with other companies. Bestbuy actually charges you extra for them to remove that shit. And an expired av that isn't getting new definitions is worse than useless, since it's likely to interfere with any useful security software you might install

>>59361298
Well who knows. Replacing the mobo probably would solve your problem. A newer or older windows might not be subject to it. If installing on computer 2 somehow helps you bypass it, at least run a sysprep before you transfer it over

Is there any way of circumventing the retroactively scrubbed/censored waybackmachine entry for a particular webpage which has been excluded due to the robots file shit?

I mean theoretically the old entries should still be there right? Or do they just delete them soon as the robot text file gets put on the serer and discovered upon being crawled?

In this case i know that it's only very recent because up until a couple days ago i still could see all the entries for that particular website at waybackmachine, the problem was that there were too many pages to save individually though so i'm biting myself in the ass right now over not having found a working automated method of saving all of them in time before the entry got censored..

how do I make a nandroid backup or image of my phone and directly move it to my pc instead of the phone's internal memory?

I can't directly make a nandroid backup on the phone itself because it has a 3GB internal memory and 60GB sd card, but the SD card is mounted to act like internal storage so TWRP gives an error that it can't write to it. the backup is 8GB big so there's not enough space to put it on internal.

I have a marshmallow phone with root and TWRP. I found a guide from like 2012-2013 that tells me to install busybox on the phone and cygwin on my pc and then use adb. However I can't help but shake the fact that there has to be some kind of simplified tool for brainlets like me. Furthermore I can't find the plugins listed by the guide in the cygwin installer so I guess they were renamed or merged. So even if I wanted to follow the guide by the letter I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>59362305
I don't know what language you are talking about but in c++ :

You have to delete anything you allocated using new. You can actually do this in the destructor of the class.
But a modern way to do it is to use std::unique_ptr, wich will automatically call delete on the address it contains whithin it's own destructor

You can put everything you need with your settings and shit, and just boot it.

Like bringing your PC..without your PC.
Today you can buy SSD based pendrives, so even speed is solved.

Back then I used some very minimal Debian install because pendrives SUCKED when reading small files.

if you are staying on the hotel, just ask for the password, they probably have it written on a pamphlet in the lobby, so you might not even have to talk to a person if that is what you are afraid of.

Driver crash most likely.

Nothing really, driver crashes, it recovers. They will fix it, you can also rollback.

Updating directx may also help.

It very depends on where is that somewhere.
On a website, you can only block people by IP.
Not everyone can get a new IP, not everyone knows how to. And even if they do, you can IP range ban them.

All anime looks like shit on my raspberry pi 3 running LibreElec v8 and KODI 17.0. There's artifacts, screen tears, and skips when none are present when running in MPC-HC or MPV on my laptop.

Liveaction TV looks fine, shows like the sopranos or shameless. Source doesn't seem to matter either, encodes of dvdrips or BD remuxes, both get artifacted to shit if it's anime but never happens with live action movie or TV.

Is there some fundamental difference in the way anime encoders and tv encoders encode that would cause this? I've compared several videos with the same video codecs, but the only commonality I can see is that this problem is specific to anime. I don't know enough about encoding to be able to tell much more than the codec used though. Can anyone think of why this is happening?

Hello /g/
I have some really old speakers. Pic related lansing 2100
I really liked them (bass were awesome, sound was good whatever the kind of music) but they are dying now.

Any of you know some :
>awesome speakers
>good speakers
>do the job speakers

I want to see how much I should put and try them eventually. If you have any advice on how to pick good speakers I would appreciate.

All I want is something good to listen music at home. I listen to almost everything (classical, rap, electro, jazz...)

>>59363604
Well, the shitpi can only decode a handful of codecs and whatnot. Weebs usually use obscure encoding that can be accelerated with DXVA usually.

tl;dr:
- Use PLEX, let it re-convert. Will take a week or more.
- Download to main PC, re-convert, move.
- Fuck the memepi.

>>59363660
Go to /mu/.
No bullying but only they can help, and they will say drop a light 5000$ on an entry level system..

I would simply look for 2.1 sets and buy one.
Sis bought a Genius, it sounds great. To me.

>>59363661
fuggg :DDD

what's the cheapest alternative for a home theater pc that CAN play anime? Including the necessary accessories, the rpi was well over $70.

>>59363680
>they will say drop a light 5000$
I do enjoy listening to what I consider good music, but I'm not enough autistic to waste 5k€ on an audio system.
I just want some speakers for my computer.

Gonna browse /mu/ and see what they say

>>59363660
Anything passive, like bookshelf speakers, with woofers and tweeters
+
DTA-1 or Lepai amp. Have the blue LEDs covered or pointed away from you because prolonged exposure can be damaging. They'll bleach colored paper over a few months. You'll need to get a better power supply for the Lepai or it will buzz and possibly burn down your home. You can add a self powered subwoofer later if you want.

If you want surround, you'll need a receiver instead of just an amp, and more speakers to go with it.

>>59363695
It really depends. As I said most animu teams will encode in very obscure codecs, so even if you buy a new hardware, they might just change the codec, or make it 256-bit, or whatever, you know how it is.

I would use the PLEX + re-encode method.
There is now also PLEX Cloud.
You put shit into a Cloud provider, and it will play it from there.

>>59363660
The worst part about speakers is that brick and mortar stores only really carry shitty soundbars or meme speakers, so you can't really demo.

Really, you're just gonna have to bite the bullet and trust online reviews before buying and hoping you didn't fuck up. But the basics of shopping for them are:

>don't fuck with active speakers or "desktop" speakers. You should be looking for passive bookshelf speakers.
>consider the space you have available. You may have to be willing to rearrange furniture to get the perfect soundstage generally leave ~6" between the wall and the speaker on any side but especially the back or wherever it moves air from
>you'll need an amp or receiver as well. At entry level, 99% of your needs will be met and the only real differences are aesthetic and pricing

>>59363695

I have a really shitty Celeron 900Mhz netbook, has a gig of ram and some trashy integrated gpu. I'm currently running WinXP on it but it's pretty slow and the only browser that is stable is a portable version of firefox. I was thinking of getting a linux distro on it but after trying a few none of them supported the shitty GPU. Is there a linux distro that will allow me to do basic shit like browse the internet listen to music edit documents?

>>59363873
If the amp's maximum output is too high, it can damage the speakers. If you're a reasonable person who doesn't enjoy noise induced hearing loss, you won't turn it up that high, so any amp will do.

>>59360729
Did you plug in tthe power cable when you installed it? That may be why the clocks and memory aren't registering.

>>59363923
Another question. Since it's gonna be for my computers, should I invest on a DAC or something else ?

Is it safe to dban in raid 1?

The data should just get written to both drives (thereby wiping them both), but everybody keeps saying dbaning raid isn't secure.

>>59363934
Maybe. I notice a difference with my $20 Xonar compared to my jigabutt's onboard audio. It has more "oomph" and the driver software has good normalization that makes headphones safer and high dynamic range stuff audible with speakers at night.

But it should be a fast drive, or an SSD based one.

>You dban the drives, how would you dban a raid?
Everybody says it's not safe to dban in raid. Even when you boot dban itself, there is a disclaimer saying that dbanning in raid isn't supported. However, I can't dban my SAS drives unless they are in raid (long story) so I need to know if dbanning in raid 1 is okay. I can see why raid 5 or 6 might not work correctly, but my understanding of raid 1 is that it just mirrors identical data to both drives which means dban should work fine. Yet dban and the internet still say if you dban a raid array, your data isn't fully wiped. What am I missing?

>>59364046
its not about not being able to is about seeing the best I can do with it

>>59364036
alright, I'll use it then. Thanks!

Should I start on a CS associate's this fall? (don't know if I'll transfer for a four year) Or is there something else I should get to scare away low quality men if I ever split with my bf and need to date again?

>>59364072
I think they meant closed raid controllers.
Like obscure ones, where you only see one big partition, because its hw raid.

So... you can just use it.
Worst case scenario? I would boot a live linux, get the raid controller up, and wipe with "shred".

>>59364102
gaay

>>59364152
>Worst case scenario? I would boot a live linux, get the raid controller up, and wipe with "shred".

That seems to be the only other solution for me. Boot from a ubuntu live cd and use the shred command. I also thought maybe putting each drive in its own raid 0 array could work.

You could simply just go to some low level init, unmount the data partition where you hide CP and shred that.

>>59364256
Yes and no.

And no, you can never make your way up.
Maybe if your boss always dies out or gets fired and you are some furiously good ass licker.

>And no, you can never make your way up.
Basically people how from place A, to place B.
Like you are a shitter at A, but go to B for a better (but still shitty) position.
Now you have two reference and a shitton of experience, you can go to position C, that still sucks but better than A or B was.

And so on.

Let's take for example 4chan, is it clear how it handles the banning of people? I suppose the first ban you get is an IP because it seems you can avoid it but apparently if you do so, you'll get permanently banned. Does 4chan ban the mac address in the case of a permanent ban and if so, are you fucked until you either change your router or move from the place?

>>59364593
>Isn't Kali just a meme distro?
No. I mean yes, because it's well known, you see it in series and kids use it too. But it is also filled with real tools.

>>59364669
They just ban IP, and ranges.
Range as in VPN / server provider, country and such.

If they say "ban evasion", it's simple, they used their head.
Like you are arguing in a thread, you get a ban, then you continue.. pretty obvious it's still you.

I feel like I've gotten my Win7 PC pretty much perfectly tuned and configured.

I'd like to create a backup so that if anything goes wrong, I can return the PC to its current state. How would one go about creating a perfect image of the current state of the OS and its installed programs, drivers and their configurations?

I would assume the built-in "Backup and Restore" feature in Win7 wouldn't be so all-encompassing, would it?

Sata3 is supposed to have a speed of up to 6 gb/s, but does anything you connect to sata actually achieve those speeds? Regular Sata SSDs don't go higher than 600 mb/s
