What is going happened if I use channel 14 on the 2.4ghz range?(I'm in the Netherlands).

if it's just a video embedded in the swf, use ffmpeg

You'd have to look up what has that reservation in the Netherlands. I wouldn't worry to much since the power output of wifi is so low that you aren't really going to cause problems. Depending on how your devices work, they may not like that channel if they know they know what country you are in. It's also probably illegal, so you gotta roll both those dice.

ffmpeg -i input.swf -c copy -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -preset veryfast output.mp4

afaik swf's only ever used mp3's, but then i haven't touched flash in many years, this just copies the audio as-is

Related to the SSD.
Your SDD management software.

Related to Windows, adobe reader IX, ms office 2013 and activate it with mstoolkit, malwarebytes, ccleaner, Speccy and Hwmonitor, Xnview, Notepad++, CCCP.

>>60323697
Install your OS on it, make it your primary drive. Your computer should boot up faster in comparison to the average HDD when using your OS on an SSD.

I've got a hand full of HDD related questions, I'll just list them out for the sake of convenience.

1.) I'm considering getting pic related as a replacement to my 2012 OEM 1TB Seagate HDD that's about 90% full of Steam games 'n shit. Does anyone have any particular thoughts/opinions on this brand or drive itself? I already have my OS and most of my personal files stored on a 120GB SSD, and I plan on using the HDD for basic shit like games and video editing. If this doesn't seem like a good investment of $130, what would be a better alternative?

2.) When getting a new drive, how exactly do I transfer all 900+GB of shit I've got on my current 1TB drive onto another? I've heard of creating a disk image to basically "clone" the drive onto another, but I'm not sure about what software I should use to do that.

I'm planning on making the decision to buy this in time for weekend shipping, the sooner the advice the better. Thanks in advance.

2. wikileaks encrypts that cia shit and hands out the encrypted file to anyone who wants it
3. at a later date, wikileaks releases the password to decrypt the file. now anyone who has the file from step 2 can decrypt it and see the secret info from step 1

Yeah, nah, it would never work that way.
I have no idea why your network manager does not get any ip from dhcp, but try to edit your wifi connection, set your IPv4 to Manual and enter address netmask gateway and dns.
That should alow you to connect.
Or maybe you do actually have it set to manual right now? change it to Automatic(DHCP) then?

Okay /sqt/, Help me out here. I have an Acer Aspire 5742Z. One day I got really mad about something and started hitting the right side area of the laptop's touchpad Which is directly above where the HDD is located of this laptops model. After that my laptop doesn't bootup, It goes to the Acer startup screen and then tries to reboot again. It does this until the battery is dead or is manually removed. Even holding the power button for 10 seconds doesn't make it stop. I can't even go into BIOS it just keep rebooting. So my questions, Did I fuck up the HDD? I've never had a crashed HDD before so I don't know the symptoms, Or Did I fuck up something major?

Then you could access the iframe's document as iframe.contentDocument. However, this is likely to fail thanks to cross-origin policy:
Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'contentDocument' property from 'HTMLIFrameElement': Blocked a frame with origin "http://127.0.0.1:5000" from accessing a cross-origin frame.


So, you have to extract the iframe URL by other means.

Hi anons I am '3tb but only 2tb accessible anon' here again
I just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHAIDprjmYo
and saw pic related in the comments

Anyone know what program he's talking about? Can anyone do this or do you need a specific motherboard?.. I don't mind my computer reading the extra 1tb/700gb or whatever extra space as a virtual drive slot, as long as the space can be used.

It's a non standard hack, just do GPT properly.

Boot up a linux live usb, gdisk /dev/sd?, recovery menu, convert gpt, write, reboot. Disk Management, expand.

>It's a non standard hack, just do GPT properly.
Everything including my os is on this HDD, that'd be too much of a hassle to restart everything seeing as it's been actively used for months now.

I'm no memer, I use windows.
>>
>>60325300
I don't know anything about that, but you should be able to use your disk with MBR format just fine, as long as you create a partition that starts a little bit before the 2 TB limit and spans all the way to the end (MBR records all partitions as 32-bit sector offset and length, which works out to almost 2.2 TB each with 512 byte sectors, so everything up to 4 TB drives can be still used with MBR format).

You may not be able to do that under Windows, but Linux partitioning tools should allow that.
>>
>>60325400
Same as above applies, then instead of reboot, run gparted/whatever, create EFI system partition, format to FAT32. Then reboot into windows install disk, bring up command prompt, diskpart, lis par, sel par x, assign letter s, exit, bcdboot C:\windows /s S: /f UEFI

>>60325453
Then you still have to split between two partitions.

>>
>>60325474
His purpose is that "the space can be used" (which implies that he's currently using 2 TB of it as a single partition for OS + data, which is already retarded) and to avoid converting to GPT.
I'm just trying to show that works at all, even without that proprietary Gigabyte program, given the legacy system he's stuck with.

Thanks to specifics of Windows memory management, you should always keep a swap file in a fraction of your RAM's size (a new installation of Windows 10 is already pretty good in figuring that out, Win7 by default still goes by the 1.5x rule), even when normal usage doesn't remotely fill your RAM. Programs often end up reserving a bit more virtual memory than there's available, and even with memory compression, Windows 10 won't follow through unless there's swap space to back it in case they actually use their whole reservations.

Tbh I got a new laptop and forgot to disable Windows Update on 7, woke to it restarting my PC without my consent.

Also MSE kept enabling itself after being disabled in msconfig (the services.msc listing greyed-out the disable option), so I had to uninstall it after it inflated the Windows Update length.

7 still cucks you. 10 maybe more, but 7 isn't free of M$'s shite.

Yeah.

As for performance, I can spare disk space, but just about every other resource is minimal. The CPU is probably going to be near 100% usage as is, and there's only 512MB of memory to work with of which the iGPU hogs 128MB unconditionally, and then minus XPs own memory usage of course (I've tried to slim it down). The CPU is Intel Core Solo U1400, that's 1.2GHz... Maybe this isn't going to work out.

well, if you have a reasonably fast disk, ideally separate from the disk with windows/the software is on, then you can try some barely-compressed formats, you might need to limit the resolution/framerate
uncompressed video requires basically no cpu time to generate, but it's also massive, so you'll probably need some amount of compression, unless you use a low resolution/rate

My parents have a really shitty internet connection, I think it's like 7Mbps max but because everybody has at least 2 devices connected you'll be lucky even getting 1Mbps.
If two people in the house are doing anything moderately intensive (video streaming), everybody elses connection gets throttled.
Ping on games will usually be tripled.
Would buying a new router at all fix this? My Dad brought it up but I don't want him to just waste his money if this is just the provider being shitty

I'm going to buy a new TV but all of the ones I can find are 50hz (I'm from Europe). I've heard that almost every 50hz TV can output 60hz as well, is this true? I'm going to use it mostly for gaming and I wouldn't want my 60fps games on a 50hz TV. Is it just Europe being retarded as always?
>>
>>60331139
Unless you're running the shittiest router in the world it's highly doubtful. 7Mbps is pretty bad to be splitting many ways, but even worse is that your upstream is typically going to be only a fraction of your downstream, so there's even less to go around there. Even if there's not as much upload happening as there is download, upload chokes are much more noticeable than download chokes (e.g. game ping). Do a speed test (while there's little to no other activity) to see exactly how much you have, but at 7Mbps down, I'd wager you don't have much more than 1Mbps up, 2 tops.

tldr: what you're seeing is normal, it's just a shitty connection being spread too thin.

some youtube videos buffer at 70000-80000kbps, way more than enough for 1080p 60fps. other videos load at 1000-1200kbps, not nearly enough for 1080p 60fps. there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason based on time or device or video/channel, ie right now im trying to watch a failarmy video and its running at .5mbps, so i paused and brought up a slowmo guys video and its running over 65mbps. anyone else dealing with this bullshit?

I've never experienced that. Try using some other server on there or perhaps another service. In my experience testing your speeds using a server close to you on here https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/network/ works just fine

>>
>>60331935

What the ISP could do is detect traffic likely to be speed test traffic and then prioritize it over other traffic to artificially boost speeds. This wouldn't actually be much effort. I suspect ISPs don't do this because if this was ever found out then there'd be a hullabolugh.

Iraq, Earthlink telecom.

That's awful. You should really look into better options if they're available to you in your area, here in Europe you can get 1000Mbps+ for less than 15 €/month

You have to take it in consideration that he is from Iraq anon, best ISP there offers 50Mbps for residentail use and is not cheap.

what do you mean default hard drive? for downloads?
>>
>>60322866
dhclient?
>>
>>60333189
I mean when a program or file is downloaded, the default drive was set up to be the C drive instead of the D drive. My C drive is now full and I want to migrate things from my C drive to my D drive.
>>
>>60333875
right. for programs, you're probably going to have to back up the data you want to keep and reinstall it on to your other drive, and for everything else you want moving it's just a matter of copy and pasting to your other drive and deleting from your SSD after you're sure it's copied over safely.
>>
>>60333946
Thank you for the response. Regarding programs and re-installation, if it was downloaded would I need to re-download it because I don't have physical install media?
>>
>>60334001
Physical install media? You mean the installation files themselves?
>>
>>60334033
Yes, for instance a program installer wizard or something. Re-running that and properly designating the install drive?
>>
>>60333264
?
>>
>>60334138
well, to do it properly, you should first back up any data you want to keep from the programs you want to move and then uninstall them. and then yes, you'd want to re-download any installation files for the programs you're trying to move if you don't already have them and run each of them to install onto your other drive, and then copy over any of the saved data you wanted to keep to the corresponding newly installed program files.
>>
>>60334226
Again thank you. It looks like I have a project ahead of me.
>>
>>60334248
Just use junction points.

You don't need to reinstall anything. You can just move the install folder and leave a junction point in it's original location. Windows will not notice.
>>
>>60334248
I would, however, not bother with moving program files unless they take up a significant amount of storage, because there really is no point unless you're really trying to make space on your SSD. Programs you use everyday should be kept on your SSD for speed, and files you just want to store such as downloads on your hard drives.
