Give me a converter to reverse mp4 files online so that they play backwards. No sketchy shit either.

How can i get a swipe keyboard (swype, gboard, swiftkey etc) on my desktop running windows? There are a lot of times I find myself reaching to my keyboard only to type one or two words, and I think it's an unnecessary effort.

I asked this in the /dpt/ thread already but they're currently discussing Islam.

Left side, with the blue brush = my painting program. The blue 1 was made in one stroke of blue color first. Then, the 2 was made with a second stroke that first goes through the blue 1 but then also goes through itself. It's easy for me to make the old color bluer since I know I haven't modified it yet with the current stroke. But how can I tell that I can modify the color made by the current stroke when I go over it again within the same stroke? Like how can I tell the difference when it's okay to make the color darker? Because as the brush moves, say, left to right, the leftmost part of the brush would try to paint over pixels that were already painted blue by the rightmost part of the brush.
And it gets even worse if the brush is say, two colored. Let's say the left half of the brush is green, the right half is red. Then, if I go left to right, the rightmost pixels will always be painted red, but it should be followed by an increasingly longer "tail" of green, if you know what I mean.

Right side is how it's done in MSPaint. As you can see, even in the top left example, if the yellow brush goes in one stroke through itself, the color gets slightly darker.

Am I missing some blatantly obvious solution here? How can I tell if the brush should paint over pixels that the brush just painted within the same stroke?

What exactly does a dock for a laptop do?
Is this just an alternative to using the power adapter or am I missing something?

>>61426095
They provide power, additional ports for peripherals, occasionally additional hardware, and, best of all, you can leave everything attached to the dock at the end of the day, then stroll off with just the laptop.

Swype .com has a version for Windows on their site. If that doesn't work there's something called InScribe

Also, the upcoming Windows 10 Fall Update will include a Swype keyboard, so then there won't be any software needed

I just tried to remove the PPA source for Flux (Kilian/Flux or something like that), because I installed Redshift instead. Now when i run sudo apt-get update, I get this error(?) that i didn't have before.

NewPipie lets you easily download YouTube music for free.

You just need to download F-Droid and you can get it there.

Paid streaming services like Spotify and Deezer let you save music too, but in an encrypted format and from my experience those apps drain the battery extremely fast

>>61425781
whats a good anonymous throwaway email to make a youtube account with?

One of the two fans on my video card is dead...sorta. It only kicks in when the fan speed is set to 70% or more. This means my video card goes from silent to jet engine multiple times every minute, which is annoying as fuck. Can't afford a new card in this market, so I'm trying to figure a free way out to fix this.

I have a fan lying around. I was thinking of taking the bad one out, reapplying thermal paste, then strapping the case fan on with some zip ties over the space where the old one was. Only problem is the case fan is only 26.2 cfm. Do you think this would work?

exactly what is net neutrality?

>>61426619
a word that has since lost its original meaning in the background noise of competing views as to what, exactly, net neutrality actually is and is supposed to do
but when a concept like net neutrality relies on federal government control, that should scream a warning to you
the less federal control, the better, Americans should do better to stand up for their state rights

>>61426650
>net neutrality
>state right
oh boy

>>61426650
>authority of private business is better than authority of the state

>>61426619
It means prohibiting ISPs from discriminating/prioritizing certain traffic. Without it they can block or change the speed of any traffic they want, which is pretty much pure suck for the end user and any websites that can't afford to shell out billions to keep up with the big boys. Especially bad for startups.

>>61426126
I don't know what you mean. The blue color is transparent in that picture (Alpha channel set to 125) and I check for each pixel in the brush that goes over a canvas pixel if it should paint the canvas pixel with a new color (if it hasn't been already painted by a previous pixel from the brush; otherwise I would keep re-painting what I already painted with the brush without going over it again). But then, how can I tell that when I go up and back again through the same stroke with the brush that "now" it's okay for the color to be re-painted with a bluer shade of blue since now the colors are allowed to interact?

>>61426791
Yes, when it's not taken to the extreme. Ever heard of moderation? A little bit of everything.
Also, laws > regulation. There is a difference.

>>61426927
but taking it to the extreme means extreme profit so they will always do it if they can?

I got a hand-me-down computer with a Noctua NH-U12S cooler in it, but it doesn't have a fan or fan clips. The only problem is on the Noctua website, all of the available fans for sale are 'NH' models. Am I just shit out of luck, and have to buy a whole new cooler?

>>61425989
Ignoring the bizarre half-and-half example you only need to paint with the leading edge of the brush.

>>61426308
What the hell did you do to remove it? Try sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*

>>61426990
Taking something to the extreme isn't healthy for a company. See Intel, the last time they slapped EXTREME on something consumers ended up with a housefire.

There's nothing wrong with repealing net neutrality. Why are you so much worried over it, goys? It won't affect you, it's strictly between Google and other evil companies and ISPs.

>>61427012
>Noctua NH-U12S

You don't need a noctua fan, but you need the clips. Maybe you can zip tie in the meanwhile?

>>61426927
The myth of the rational actor in economics has been well and truly disproven. Game theory is a dead meme, get with the picture.

>>61427012
Any of noctua's square 120mm or 140mm fans can easily fit on it, and you have an NH to begin with.

>>61427044
i disagree and your example is about a product not about a business strategy

>>61426479
anybody?

>>61426459

>>61427069
I should probably just go with a square 120mm one, then.
>>61427061
The only other fan I had was a Cooler Master one, but it was pretty small.

>>61426927
Businesses are 98% opportunistic greed and 2% the expectation that appearing altruistic will help them somehow in the future. I'm not saying you won't get the odd well intended owner, but left unattended the business sector will absolutely bleed us for everything we're worth. There's more proof of this than practically anything in human history.

>>61427091
Yeah, even if you get the clips it has to be the same size or they won't fit.

>>61427093
>but left unattended the business sector will absolutely bleed us for everything we're worth
That's what laws are for. Net neutrality isn't a law.

>>61427027
>What the hell did you do to remove it?
I just removed the one thing.
But I'm thinking that the warnings i'm getting now might have been "suppressed" by that package somehow. Because that Flux package was giving me some error, which is part of the reason I uninstalled it. So now that it's gone, that's probably why i get these warnings instead.
>Try sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
What does this do? Isn't it bad if i delete all package lists?

>>61427102
On their website, it says the 120mm size fan (that i'm looking at) has a 105x105 mm mounting hole spacing. Is that big enough to fit on the NH-U12S, or should I go with a bigger one?

>>61427151
Well the holes are offset from the edges a bit obviously. The fan that comes with it is 120mm, so you want a 120mm fan. Not sure if the hole spacing is standardized or whatnot. Why not just get the noctua fan? I know they're pricy but they are great fans, and very quiet while still pushing a lot of air.

Does the radeon driver for Ubuntu support dual monitors? I've tried everything to get both of my monitors (external and the laptop's screen) to work but either the laptop screen shuts off or both of them shut off
Would a clean reinstall help? I upgraded the system from 15.10 to 16.04

>>61427122
The lists get downloaded fresh when you do an update.

>>61427176
Sorry if I didn't make it clear. I am looking at one of the Noctua fans. The NH-U12S says it's compatible with 120x120x25 size fans, and the one i'm looking at (NF-S12A PWM) is a 120x120x25. I just want to make sure before I buy anything that it'd be one that'll fit on my model.

>>61427231
http://noctua.at/en/nh-u12s.html

On the specs page, it comes with a NF-F12 PWM.

http://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-pwm/specification
http://noctua.at/en/nf-s12a-pwm/specification

Hole spacing is same on both, and both are 4-pin PWM so I think they'll both fit. The nf-s12a looks better though, pushes more air at lower rpm.

>>61427271
Ah, that's what I was looking for. I couldn't find the fan that was included on it. Thanks for helping!

Since I'm a poorfag and my monitors DC in jack is loose/my DC plug is faulty, would it be a good idea to use solder as a filling to bridge the connection between the two (like a cavity filling?)? Or would this burn my house down?

>>61427402
What's the problem?

Would having dropbox set to my small SSD shorten its lifespan?

>>61427415
That's what solder is made for. If you are worried about it handling mains voltage, it won't get hot because it has very low resistance. Have fun trying to heat all that metal without melting the surrounding plastic though.

>>61427530
Crap... Totally forgot about the plastic. Guess I'll save it for a last resort. Thanks anon.

Dear /sqt/.

I know it will sound stupid and all but - is browsing "red" sites like redtube or xhamster even safe? Several years ago simply accessing websites with porn content would mean automatical flood of malware. Did it change?

>>61427670
Hasn't changed at all. You only need to look at all the scripts or 3rd parties blocked to realize it's all still the same garbage since the xxx porn days.

>>61427670
YouTube-dl supports many porn sites if you wanna get the via while browsing with ad blocking and no script etc

If I buy a 4chan pass, does that make me able to shitpost in a dorm without getting banned because of someone else's wrongdoing?

>>61427478
Obviously yes. Anything that writes to your SSD shortens your lifespan. You want to keep only stuff that almost never gets updated but is accessed regularly on your SSD.

Picrelated is highly unnecessary. Your modem will depend on your ISP. Your router could be any decent brand like netgear or linksys that has a/b/g/n. AC optional. I'd really consider running a long ethernet cable to the second pc, or taking a stab at powerline adaptors. If your wiring is good, they can be about 2/3 as good as ethernet.

So up until recently, my dad has given me one of his extra Kaspersky key for whatever bundle he purchases and that's what I've used for years. Now it's expired and I have no antivirus software. Is there anything free I should get or is antivirus just a meme for the less tech savvy?

Hey, so I want to back up my entire OS drive (Win 7) to a folder on an external drive I have so that I can root through the files as I need to fetch whatever from it while formatting and setting up either Windows 7 or some form of Linux (haven't decided yet, might dualboot). It's only 120gb of data. Previously when I tried this many hard drives ago, I ran into permissions errors even after trying to set them to all access, but I think I may have just done something wrong. What do?

>>61428887
If you look for the proper ways of pirating that shit they may give you instructions on what to block to prevent this anyways.

running win 10
my pc will occasionally lag like crazy, usually when under a heavy load though, like starting a game. when i open task manager to see what the issue is, its always System taking up all my disk space. As soon as i open task manager though, it usually "fixes" itself, that process stops fucking my shit up, and everything runs fine again. ive run multiple scans with multiple programs so i doubt its anything malicious, pretty sure its just because win 10 is shit.

The point of this is to get more organized.

For modem either use comcast provided or buy a recommended modem like surfboard if you plan on using their service for a year or two and want to save money.Don't forget to bridge modem to router.

For router it depends. If your house is large enough or has enough barriers, one router might not be an option. Wifi has its limits, and paying way too much for a router doesn't change that. You could set up a second router if you can cover part of the distance with ethernet, or use powerline. Also the quality of his wifi adapter will make a difference, as will the amount of interference from microwaves/bluetooth/other devices and wifi networks.

>>61429719
You'll have to see how well it does. You will definitely introduce some latency, but whether that's enough to introduce a noticeable difference is hard to predict. If he has problems, look for a well reviewed wifi adapter. If that still doesn't cut it, you may have to shell out for powerline. In your situation I probably wouldn't even bother switching out the stock gateway except to save on lease fees. It's unlikely to be the weak link.

I just installed Debian testing with net install by mistake. Installed XFCE and everything was perfectly fine, but I wanted the stable version. I reinstalled it exactly like I did but now with the stable net install .iso. Exactly like I did before.

But now, something (XFCE?) recognises two screens even so I have only one, and it's the second one. Now, everything I open goes to a screen I cannot fucking see. What do?

I want a generic way to search files in the file system in a VMDK (search via file name or file hash) I have searched quite a bit but have not found such a tool. Is this something I will have to create? If so would I need to mount each VMDK before searching the file system or is there be a non-mounting way to do it? Would there be a performance hit if I had to mount the VMDKs vs doing it in non-mounting way?

So it runs about 13-15 degrees cooler! Replacing the thermal paste had a lot to do with it I'm sure. There was a fuckload of it, and it was all over the pcb surrounding the die.

I got a new mousepad and it has a custom print thing, it tracks mostly fine but if I try to swipe the mouse fast it sometimes just randomly moves downward and fucks up.

Just beginning to learn multithreading in python. If I have multiple threads writing to a file, is there a better way to do this than having every thread except for the one writing to a file sleep for the duration of the writing?

>>61431036
>multithreading in python
Lol.

>is there a better way
You need to either only have one writer (so have other threads put their writes in a queue for the dedicated writing thread to consume) or, yes, syncronise you writes using some locking mechanism. If your are polling and sleeping then that will work but there are locking primitives that can simplify you code.

>>61430791
You don't need a dual band router. That shit only affects your maximum bandwidth, which is already more than you'll ever saturate with internet. And dual-core sure as fuck doesn't matter. You're getting dragged in to BS that's mostly marketed to newbs who don't know better and has no impact on your range. The only thing a good router might fix is bufferbloat, and that's unlikely for 2 people on 100mbps unless one of you torrents like a motherfucker.

>>61431036
Do the threads have any other work they could be doing, instead of sleeping? If they don't, that approach will work. If they do, then consider having them put the write requests into a queue, which should be much faster than the writes to disk, then have another thread that consumes the queued requests and writes them to disk.

>>61430791
The most important thing for online gaming is your latency to your ISP assigned gateway. After that, you should pick servers to play on that are geographically close.
Check what your internet gateway is on your router and run this command in command prompt.

ping <gatewayip>

If this is low (should be below 5ms at least), you're good to go. Also, wifi isn't the greatest for latency either. It might seem fine but if anything messes up the signal you're gonna have lag.

For a quick and dirty list of GPU equivalents see http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

>>61431289
MU-MIMO is going to be pretty much useless to you. For starters, it's unlikely that any of your devices actually support it. It's also a pretty useless feature that tries to cut back on latency in a place where it doesn't exist. Also it works exclusively over wireless AC, which is a 5ghz standard, and therefor doesn't reach as far as 2.4n or pass through walls as well.

What would be the best OS for an old Inspiron n4010 between win 7 and 10?
I know a GNU/Linux distro would be way better, but any other OS is out of the question since this is for my aunt and she won't take the time to learn a new one. She also couldn't care less about privacy as she posts her whole life on facebook, so that's why 10 is an option. Would be mostly for internet and office.

While I wouldn't use it myself, I've read that boot times and general usage with limited resources in 10 would be faster than 7, but I'm unsure about that with all the bullshit they install in background. I'll try to debloat either option as much as possible.

So my first time on g but did have a question i guess this really goes out to scripters and coders.

Is it possible on voice chat services like ventrilo, teamspeak, mumble, or discord; to have it where you are unbanable through scripts or in someway able to make yourself admin so that you can't be banned. I know all of these service have different approaches and don't all act the same way but wanted to ask and see if anyone knew.

>>61431440
Bigger numbers are better. There is no raisin not to use win10.

If a game is locked at 60 fps, will having it run at twice the framerate just make perform at twice the speed? Every since getting a 144hz monitor some of my older games are running at hyper speed.

Pretty future proof. Although no guarantees that you'll get a version that supports custom firmware, so lets hope you're happy with stock. There are also cheaper models out there that work well, but it sounds like money's not your primary concern.

>>61431498
No, if you want to not get banned you have to be friendly to people and maybe suck the admin's dick.

>>61431514
Now i know there are ways to get around bans. But you're saying that lets so ventrilo, that there isn't any script out there to make you unbanable or to obtain an admin level? Cause im not to good on scripting of coding but shouldn't there be a way to write a script for it? I know the networking part of it Like vpns proxies, changing your physical id. But what makes it impossible in the coding world and scripting world to get around this?

>>61431541
Get a power glove and learn to be a 1337 hacker.

>>61431550
I mean what makes it impossible to write a script for it then? When someone goes through a proxy they're changing their location and network id. Then the system thinks it's a diff user same with your physical id. And then you're unbanned so what are technical reason. What are the coding and script limitations then?

>>61431570
Because admins have accounts registered and elevated permissions on the server. So to get that yourself you would have to hack the server. Or bribe some chump.
As to avoiding bans, it seems you already have that down do filthy troll.

>>61431275
You should be getting 5ms to your ISP gateway at least. You would have very shitty internet to be more than that.

The only thing i could think about would be the certain type of program you're writing the code/script for. I know some basics but visual basic is way diff from say C++. So probably those are the limitations. The other part of it might just be the know how. When i took one class of visual basic i noticed that instead say like music and art where you make stuff based on feelings, and in the moment. Coding and scripting tends to be more mathematical or logical oriented. So that's probably the best educated guess i can come up with.

>>61431236
Go to control panel, Power options, and choose power saver. You should turn off auto sleep mode if your torrent program doesn't keep computer alive.

Right from the networking side. Which is fine but was just wondering from the coding side or scripting side of things if there was a work around more so for curiosities sake but thank you.

>>61431626
30+ is not uncommon for a lot of connections.

>>61431412
If you are just gaming and don't require high bandwidth you should stay on the 2.4ghz spectrum. 2.4ghz spectrum passes through objects easier so you'll probably have less latency issues.
If you have a ton of 2.4ghz routers in your vicinity then use 5ghz.

2 - Are old opterons still OK in 2017? I'm talking 4200 series stuff.

3 - Why is ECC memory so cheap? Is it just supply and demand or is it worse in some way?

4 - Are old Nvidia quadro cards worth keeping. They throw away alot of old server stuff at my workplace and some times I take a card just to check it out at home. I recently got one thats pretty large (bigger than a titan x) but still has puny cooling. I suppose I could mine meme coins with them.

5 - Is the Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard any good for anything except libreboot?

6 - Can I run a core 2 quad on a librebooted Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard without some kind of microcode update bullshit?

8 - Refurbished HDDs seem sketchy. Are they?

>>61431779
Ehh refurbished hdd yea i'd stay away from those i can say with confidence. The most likely component for fail is your hard drive with most moving parts; so stay away from refurbished hdd personally. You can take the risk if you want but i'd just get a new one. Unless they're offering one hell of a warranty like if this breaks in x amount of years then your hdd replaced with a new one. So caution advised on that end at least.

Can I just buy a single 8GB ram to get to 16GB? I don't care about performance issues.

Is there a way to transmit audio over several miles, that isn't over the phone or internet (so no monthly fee basically), and not uhf/radio (so privately)

>>61432113
run a cable

>>61432127
It would be from my house to my car driving around

>>61432113
Get big speakers.
If you have line of sight you could set up something encrypted in the ISM band (like, say, wifi).

I am looking to purchase a mic for of course voip programs while playing games and such.
But i cannot decide on a uni vs omni mic,
I do have a Cherry MX brown mechanical keyboard and a shitty room. Does it really matter?

If you go with modmic- i went with the uni a few years back and its still functioning perfectly.

the omni will pick up your keyboard, since imagine you are not desk mounting it there is literally no reason to pick omni.

>>61432113
The mobile receiver part really complicates matters. Radio is pretty much all you got, and that's regulatory territory. What kind of audio, out of curiosity?

>>61432113
shortwave? there's probably some way to obfuscate the transmission

>>61431882
Honestly I've seen similar stats in 3 different cities.

>>61432249
Yeah you could encrypt it but that is illegal in USA.

>>61427415
just take it apart and do a proper soldering job instead of this half-ass nonsense

>>61432306
there's no bands available for private shortwave radio?
that sucks, but anon didn't say if he was in the USA or not, different countries have different rules regarding frequency use

How do I into scrape sites

what do my macbros use to convert vid's to webms?

is there a limit to the number of pages you can have going back and forward (as in when you click on the back/forward arrows in firefox)?
will firefox stop remembering past a certain point or any other issues?
also, can you make firefox show all back/fotward pages when you click to see them (ive noticed it wont do past a cwerain amount)?
thanks

As long as you change nothing else then it really can be that easy. Just make a backup for safety.

homebrew ffmpeg

is it possible to track all the registry entries that a program checks when opening?

I have this lawyer software that a small firm of a friend of mine uses and he has it since 2003 and runs on x32 xp but now every PC is x64 and sometimes you can't even find 32 bits drivers so I want to move that program to an x64 computer, however there's no way for me to moe it because the moment I try to open it it says it's an illegal copy so I want to know which registry entry it checks, copy them all and import them in the registry of this new x64 OS.

I'm telling the whole story because maybe you guys know of an alternative I've not think of

>>61432397
this is configurable with browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers

I'm trying to get an XP client to join a samba share but it just keeps asking for the password over and over. I'm running Arch and have not changed many settings only defined shares and whitelisted IP's. Windows 7 and up clients can join.

thanks

>>61432514
eset is the brand

>>61432514
Just get bitdefender and don't forget to use ublock.

>>61432514
eset is the brand, like kaspersky, which isn't malware. kaspersky is responsible for uncovering equation group shit. before wikileaks did vault 7 kaspersky was the go to info source on those fuckers and their exploits (cia/nsa/usa)
rkill reset your extension preferences, something viruses will change
awdcleaner is a french anti virus scanner
tdsskiller is a root kit scanner, just don't use their driver
combofix is something you run in safe mode for good measure if you're having trouble

>>61426650
You didn't even answer the question.

>>61432562
Kaspersky's been getting hit hard lately over their links to the russian government. Whatever they've achieved, it's too much to trust them with what we know now. Also Adw is just a subset of malwarebytes now.

I have several operating systems on my PC. Is it possible to to install a second graphics card and have the different installs each use a different card with xorg.conf fuckery? I assume it would be, so perhaps a better question would be are there any caveats to this? Like, do I have to use the same brand of card or anything like that? I have a bunch of cards lying around but they're all Nvidia and my currently installed card is AMD. No integrated graphics, otherwise I would have tested it that way.

Anyone got a link to a WES7 iso and key that was posted here a few months back?

>>61428951

do it.

>>61428906
if you don't care about breaking the installation and only really care about having personal files in the copy, then just use any kind of copy + paste from in linux or an administrator account
if you want a backup that can be restored/installed if need be, then use imagex (windows) or wimlib (linux) to create a .wim file from your ntfs volume

>>61432628

Thanks but that's vanilla 7.

WES7 is a 64bit embedded release of windows 7 that uses the same activation method as XP VL and friends.
it is the only way to have activated 7 on UEFI and bios without loaders or kms emulators and supposedly gets an extra year of updates. You can also heavily customise the OS features it has at install time.

>>61432640
could you explain how?

>>61432734
depends on which OS you're using, i know how to do it in linux

what i said. I downloaded ffmpeg but now i have to install it? or build whatever the fuck? I tried looking it up but all guides are done pre 2014 and by weird spanish pricks.

Don't really want to install brew, but it doesn't even seem like the task is complete once i install ffmpeg, sounds like theres more to be done just to convert some vids to webm

best clipboard application for win 10?

nvm seems too messy I don't want to muck up my computer with shite that I won't ever be able to clean up just so I can post some cool webm's on this dumb site

never bought a domain before. want to purchase one. common sense leads me to believe the huge sites like godaddy and others have some markup and fucky practices so where can i get one for reasonable prices?

Is there an easy way to torrent individual songs, like popcorntime fixed streaming movies?

>>61432961
you mean if is there a service for that? I dn't think so

>>61432961
download the torrent file for the album or discography and choose the ones you want.

what does it mean to list hings by 'best match' in ebay? and other sites more generally

>>61432973
Yeah, obviously. I'm asking if there's an app or something that makes it more convenient. They've done the fuck out of that for video.

how do you decide what to do (on the internet) when you want to do more than one thing?

webm for retards but might not support icuck
it's in the shitlord git

>>61429999
Because you'd have to do that shit every three hours, maybe they'd eventually ban your IP or something I dunno

PROTIP: don't buy 12months+ on a cheap ass VPN then be surprised when the performance goes to shit after a couple of months so you have to find another one.

Mullvad is great. A bit more pricey then the cheapest but at least it's month by month so if it ever goes to shit you can just cancel.

does something exist that expands images when you hover over them like in 4chan but for the whole internet (firefox)?

SteamFag from the other thread.

It turns out all I had to do was clear Steam's browser cache and cookies....I guess I click a lot.

Now my question, much less serious but annoying, is: I added the old steam library (because I reinstalled Steam to a different drive) to the new location but it isn't recognizing the library in SteamLibrary. The folder it reads it from is F:Steam, which contains SteamLibrary. Do I just need to refresh or does it only read what is directly contained in the assigned folder?

I tried assigning it separately but stupidly enough I'm limited to one folder per partition. The ride never ends but at least I can play muh games

>>61433096

i found this old thinkpad, pentium mobile, 512 ram and put bunsenlabs linux on it, i use vlc for videos and midori for browsing, midori is kinda slow and vlc video lags around the 720p mark, is there anything more lightweight or any possible fix for this?

does hdmi allow for interaction between a laptop and tv say as oppose to vga, or does it depend on something else?

>>61433253
what exactly do you mean by "interaction"

>>61433238
you could go 90, but it might not sell very fast

>>61433262
like maybe if i press something on my laptop it'll 'speak' to the tv
like could i have it change 'output/source' (ie a tv channel or my laptop or a dvd player etc) from the television channel to my laptop by pressing something on the :APTOP as oppose to the TV REMOTE (caps intended as italics)

think of an audio splitter, so two people etc can listen to one source etc
can you do the reverse: two sources (or more) to one output?

>>61425781
should i care about usb 3.1 type c on a smartphone?
