what is my best option on the market right now for wanting to play movies and videos on any tv from a portable device?
Hey guys is there any good and free way to covert mp4 files into mpg?
So i dug up an old prebuilt I stripped for parts a while back, it has a phenom II x6 on some proprietary HP pavillion motherboard. We stuck new ram, a new power supply and a 7950 in it, but there is no input signal, I fear after years of being in the attic the motherboard or cpu died. I've tried many things to get it to work and I would appreciate any suggestions. Already tried cmos reset, holding power down to clear capacitance, using different video slots, and switching ram ports. The full model is HP Pavilion Elite HPE-410y Desktop PC. Therte is only one green light on the motherboard.

>[E4E85FC6]
it's from this torrent on a public tracker:
>[gg] Macross Delta (Preview Special) - 01 [E4E85FC6].mkv
loads of other torrents have randomised numbers and digits within brackets at the end of them, what are they?
Anyone know how to style Windows this way?
>>52168891
Probably a checksum of some sort. If you knew what type it was, after downloading you could compute the checksum of the downloaded fle to determine if it was any error.
It's probably a holdover from wherever it was initially uploaded, because torrent clients (are supposed to) automatically redownload pieces which don't pass checksum.

You can get a brand new GTX 960 or R9 280 for $175 on Newegg, even less if you buy it used.
>>52170654
ffmpeg is the only videoconverter anyone ever needs.
playing files oven DLNA would require them to be recoded and streamed to the TV, the quality sucks most of the time.
playing directly on the TV has no quality loss, but the TV has to support the container, codec and filesystem of the USB device.

Reposting from previous thread:
So I was managing some files on my external hard drive, when I decided to go mobile and switch to my laptop. I put my computer into hibernation without thinking much of it (I always put it into hibernation and had a ton of shit open) and switched to my laptop.
After continuing on my laptop (which consisted of just deleting certain files in a specific folder), I decided to switch back to my desktop computer. I turned the computer into hibernation (like I always do), plugged my hard drive back into my desktop and turned it on.
When I turned my desktop back on, I opened up the folder (I had left the windows explorer window with the folder still open before hibernating) and I noticed that the files I had been deleting on my laptop were still there. I tried refreshing explorer, but they didn't go away. In fact, I opened a few up and they opened up with no problem--like they were never deleted.
I decided to go back to the laptop to see if they were gone on there. I couldn't "safely remove" the hard drive, so I just shut the computer down (no hibernation) and moved back to the laptop. Back on the laptop, all the files I had deleted while on the laptop, were gone. I then moved back, again, to the desktop to see if they would finally be gone now. But when I tried navigating to the directory, I get a message saying "F:\blabla\bla is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
Everything else on the hard drive works fine and is readable, but I can't do anything with the directory I was just working in. But all those files can't just be gone. How do I save them?

Twitter widget (original, Z1 Compact) always misses few latest tweets, even right after adding it to homescreen. I tried:
- removing and restoring this particular then all widgets
- restarting device
- cleaning cached data in general, app cached data and app data
- logging in again
- changing update interval, even if it affects in-app timeline only
- searching twitter help and google of course.
Nothing helps, there's only good legit stuff from play store, weather widget runs good at the same time. I'm not switching to another app.

I've been worried lately about some power related stuff and I have been wondering for a while.
You see, my entire room only has 1x power outlet, and I'm 2 power strips in the following setup:
1 coming out from the outlet with 6 slots
and another one connected to a slot in the first outlet, this one with 5 slots.
I have a computer, phone, lamp, 3 monitors, router, phone charger, etc.
Now, the problem is, I've always been running with these shitty ass chinese made power strips you'd normally find in a thrift store (or however you call it, I'm not from the USA) and I am really worried all of a sudden because something might happen to my electronics if I don't do something about it.
What's considered a good power strip? There's not much I can do about having only 1x power outlet in the room, but if I am going to run so much out of one, might aswell make it the most secure it can possibly be.
What can I buy to replace these shitty ass power strips?
>>52171899

I am about to buy my first SSD (256GB) ever, in a few weeks. I'll be using it together with a HDD.
Is there any point in putting stuff like Steam (the client, not the games), Mediaplayers, Autohotkey, etc. on the SSD or should I keep them on the HDD?
Obviously I'll have the OS on the SSD, along with a single horribly unoptimized game.
>>52171899
The thicker cable the better.
Use ones with grounding, as in your pic.
Just don't connect power-hungry things to the last power strip, plug it in first instead and use the last for chargers, router, lamps.
>>52172073
Install your OS and programs on the SSD and use the hard drive for the bulk of your files. This is a very common setup for people that have both an SSD and HDD.
Having your OS and stuff on the SSD means that things will run quicker.
>>52172073
How big are your Steam games?
You should try and put everything you regularly use on the SSD.
>>52172111
That's what I figured, HDD for media files and SSD for programs.
Things is, AFAIK SSDs can't be defragmented and I was wondering if it was wise to have anything but the bare minimum on them.
I haven't keep up with technology in a while now, so I'm probably misinformed and/or my information is severely outdated.
>>52172134
I usually only have 1-2 games installed at a time. Currently it's Dungeon Defenders 2 and Path Of Exile, which is the horribly optimized one.
>>52172185
>SSDs can't be defragmented
Correct, but you shouldn't really worry about that. It should be a while before it dies and you have to buy a new one.
Not sure how long or how you can tell when it's dying. Just make sure you have multiple back ups, I guess. Anyone else want to chime in?
>>52172185
SSDs don't care about fragmentation.
HDDs do as the drive head has to seek out the data blocks as efficiently as possible. Having it all sequential stops the HDD having to work as hard to get all of the data.
With an SSD you just say I want that data and it's returned. No moving parts to slow anything down or seek through.
>>52172220
But it should be noted that you should never defragment an SSD.
If I'm editing a video where the main concern is audio quality (basically I'm uploading an album to Youtube - the image is just a still album cover image), does the video bitrate make a difference to the audio quality?
>>52172185
>Things is, AFAIK SSDs can't be defragmented
SSDs can actually be defragmented - it's just that there is no benefit from doing so.
>I was wondering if it was wise to have anything but the bare minimum on them.
There's no real harm to it, and it will maximize the benefit of have an SSD.
>I usually only have 1-2 games installed at a time. Currently it's Dungeon Defenders 2 and Path Of Exile
You may as well have them both on the SSD then.
>>52172203
>It should be a while before it dies and you have to buy a new one.
A very long while. Modern SSDs are pretty tough.
>Not sure how long or how you can tell when it's dying.
SMART
>Just make sure you have multiple back ups
This is always good advice.
>>52172256
>does the video bitrate make a difference to the audio quality
No.
That would be the audio bitrate.

for my new build i am looking for the best kde experience. i have been looking at kaos and chakra. both are arch based. what's the upside to using pure arch? do i have to put much time in stock kde? (which is what i guess you get with arch)
>>52172238
>>52172238
Yes. I was just thinking that I probably should have mentioned that. All it does it wear the drive out.
>>52172203
AFAIK the only real way you can tell if an SSD is dying is through SMART metrics. Any good operating system should let you know when it hits a problem threshold in these. That said stuff does just break sometimes with no warning.
But yeah the only stuff that shouldn't be backed up is stuff you can afford to lose. Storage space is rediculously cheap these days!

Thanks anons.
>>52172238
>But it should be noted that you should never defragment an SSD.
I'll be using win7, should I bother disabling auto defrag on standby or would that be pointless?
>>52172312
>should I bother disabling auto defrag on standby
Yes. As the other anon pointed out, defragging an ssd just wears it out. All it does is bring it that much closer to dying, with no benefit whatsoever.
>>52172281
KDE on arch is pretty good and usable out of the box with the plasma-meta package imo.
>>52172338
thank you for the answer.
hmm...maybe i'll just use pure arch then

I have a dual screen setup.
I've set Windows to automatically turn off the displays after a few minutes.
One is connected through DVI, the other through DP.
Every time I wake the displays again, Windows scrambles my Windows around. How can I prevent that? It's annoying the fuck out of me. Happens both in 7 and 10.
Does more RAM require a better processor?
I have an old Intel core 2 duo 2.2 GHz and I had 2 GB RAM which I upgraded to 3 GB, but now everything seems kinda slower, Iceweasel freezes most of the time when I try to load a page, etc. (I'm using debian stable with LXDE, so it can't be a software problem, but I did have a lot of tabs open)

Besides that, to answer your question,
>I stumbled on $crlf() but it doesn't seem to work and gets ignored.
It does work, it gets added then stripped off. You're trying to create a new line in a place that doesn't support new line creation. You can add a new column (you probably already new that). But besides that, you can't create what you want

The size of Windows persists.
They often get moved to a different display than the one they were originally on. Say, the open browser window may stay at the position it was originally, or it may appear at the same position on the other display.
Sometimes position persists across displays, sometimes it resets Windows to (0;0).

It could be the timing of the monitors turning off. If it is that, you might not be able to fix it
>>52173211
I think it has something to do with Windows 'forgetting' a DP monitor when it turns off.
Windows keeps the desktop of a DVI display open and active when the device is off, but closes a DP display's desktop when it turns it off.

Since then I have been teaching myself in my free time, reading books, doing various challenges I found here and the internet etc. How much do I need to know, or is it one of those things where it's just too late and I'm too far behind?
I often read on here that most programmers are idiots so that gives me hope.
>>52173248
>but closes a DP display's desktop when it turns it off.
Ik, this is irrelevant but I have a 4k monitor. When my DP connection is off (monitor in sleep mode) the virtual monitor under Windows is 1024x768 and fucks all my Windows to the top left corner. I fixed this problem by creating a 4k virtual monitor in the registry, but I don't think it'll work for you
>>52173266
judging from your post, you're already overqualified for a lot of programming jobs.
>>52173257
I've had a 290X since launch and never any driver issues. Most of the issues are blown out of proportion. Nvidia has just as many issues.
>>52173279
Yeah, the same thing is happening here. Just that instead of moving them to a virtual desktop, Windows moves the windows to the DVI display. My problem is that is does not properly restore them when the DP display turns back on. It does some weird shit like create a new desktop every time the DP display turns on.

My advice is find a good code bootcamp and take an intensive course.
You actually have a better chance of succeeding because all those 18y/o's have a shitty work ethic.
Programming is a broad field. Even to get a basic job, you'll have to specialize a bit.
Some important questions:
Do you want to do Web, Desktop (dying), iOS, or Android?
Do you want to specialize in Front-end, back-end, design, full-stack, databases, networking, security, machine learning, or data analysis?
If you go to a programmer bootcamp, they'll probably help you get a job too, so that's a plus.
If you're not set up with a fancy ass job by the bootcamp, your first job will likely suck. But that's okay because it's normal to change jobs every 1-3 years in the programming field. In 5-10 years you can be a very well paid intermediate to senior programer, assuming you keep learning and moving up and you don't stagnate.
>>52173383

My site has intermittent 525 SSL Handshake errors with Cloudflare.
I tried disabling things in my Hiawatha configuration like URL Toolkit rules and RequireSSL. I also tried disabling "Full" SSL on Cloudflare (from off to "Flexible"), and my forwarding rule and https always rule.
Disabling everything gives me an "This page isn't redirecting properly" in the browser, which means there's an infinite loop or something (even on the static front page).

Downgrading to windows 7 has been a bitch on my laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed.

I've never considered a bootcamp before. After a quick google, Makers Academy seems like a successful UK based programme. They have an online version called Ronin for people like me who can't move to London. I'll keep looking into it, thanks.
>Do you want to do Web, Desktop (dying), iOS, or Android?
>Do you want to specialize in Front-end, back-end, design, full-stack, databases, networking, security, machine learning, or data analysis?
Out of those I'd say back-end work, networking, security, machine learning and data analysis are all things I find more interesting than designing user interfaces.
I'm extremely interested in audio programming and signal processing. I think it stems from my love of music, acoustics/sound and background in physics. If you're asking my dream job, right now I would say working as an audio plug in developer or even an audio programmer for a games company. From what I've read, a background in physics and a knowledge of signal processing is very advantageous. I'm just not sure how many positions there are available

I don't know if this is more for /flt/ or /sqt/, but I'll start here.
I need my computer to open the linux terminal and then automatically run todo in it on startup. I have been having trouble doing this.
Here's what I've done so far.
I made a shell script called launchtodo.sh, saved it in /etc/init.d, and made it executable:#!/bin/bash
cd ~
todo
I then edited /etc/r.local and added the following line before 'exit 0':sudo sh /etc/init.d/launchtodo.sh
Finally, I made both my script and rc.local executable.
I think the problem has to do with the fact that running the script on startup doesn't necessarily mean it will open up in the terminal and display itself there.
>>52173972
>I think the problem has to do with the fact that running the script on startup doesn't necessarily mean it will open up in the terminal and display itself there.
You have identified the problem.
I'd recommend editing the application menu settings, finding the terminal application you use, then change it to run a command "todo" and to run it in terminal.
Something like that at least.

I do know I want to get into Linux and try to get away from Windows but I have no idea where to start there either. Are there any manufacturers that pre-load Linux on there machines anymore?
Should I get an R9 390 or wait until 980Ti price drops? I can live off my GTX 960 for a while I guess but it only has 2MB of vram
>>52175014
sticky.
>>52175039
I would wait for the next batch of GPUs to release, both AMD and Nvidia seem to have big plans for their next releases
a 960 will hold you over just fine if you're at 1080p
>>52175065
What about 1080p 144hz?
I am going to flash a new rom on my phone, how can i create a backup from the existing system that i can flash again in case of bricking it?
>>52175133
titanium backup
>>52175133
in your recovery you can make a system image which you then can recover easily
>>52175133
>>52175081
probably not, but since both AMD and Nvidia will be debuting HBM gen2 on their next batch of GPUs I would say it's more than worth it to wait
>>52175145
>>52175153
>>52175175
thank you!
Where can I acquire a copy of Windows 10 without paying for it and without getting any viruses (aside from the ones MS put in there already)? I want it to be activated as well.
what would you use to remote access a windows machine from a linux machine (video stream is a must)
I don't know the name of this process so I'll just describe it the best that I can. What's it called when you connect to a website's available download files via the terminal? Like instead of going to www.website.com or whatever and browsing through their downloads section, isn't there a way to do this from the terminal line? For example, I want to browse/download these files here: https://cdn.media.ccc.de/ (it's using a CDN)
but I don't want to actually go to the website via the browser and click through the files. Am I retarded, or is this possible?
>>52175217
It's free
https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10
>>52175513
Okay, how long until it will shout at me to activate it or whatever?
>>52175543
It won't. It's free to download and use. No activation or anything.
Is it possible to use a non-apple M.2 PCI-e SSD in the early 2015 macbook pro? My SSD seems to be failing after I fucked with it a bunch.
Alternatively, is there a way I can speed up the boot sequence in the early 2015 rMBP? On a cold boot, it literally takes like two minutes to get to LightDM in Ubuntu. In a software reset, it boots normally.
Wat do?
I've just picked up an iPad very very very cheap, and it's brand new.
I've never had an apple product in my life.
It's basically unanimous that I should jailbreak it right?
>>52175608
>It's basically unanimous that I should break it right?
>>52175608
That depends on what you want to do.
>>52175585
Oh, that's the dumb home edition. That makes sense.
I just remembered I have an MSDN AA license of the EDU version, so I guess that solves the problem.
>>52175623
I honestly don't even know what my options are I read quite a bit, so putting epub files on there might be nice. I also just generally don't like the homescreen of the iPad so I feel like customizing it. at the very least. makes jailbreaking practical.
What are some cool things that jailbreaking allows it to do?
>>52175666
Pirate apps, SSH into it, customize some minor stuff.
>>52175637
>dumb home edition
>dumb
What did the Home edition ever do to you anon?
>>52175709
Well, I have a pretty big gripe with Windows in general.
>>52174722
let me rephrase that.
Can a hacker block a stream over a home network?(Comcast)
>>52175765
>hacker nephew
wow, spoopy
Yes, you could totally disrupt the wifi access to any device on a network. Look up ARP poisoning, that's one way to do it.
But if it's only audio streams, then the problem could be with your ISP.
What the fuck am I downloading this time?
>>52174893
Yeah, I'd get a 600 though to be on the safe side when OCing hard.
>>52175835
Looks like a Windows 10 upgrade screen.
>>52175835
Viruses and backdoors, most likely.
>>52175835
you are not downloading anything.
It says exactly on your screen what happens.
>>52175014
Logical increments. Try building a PC, it's fun and you'll learn a thing or two about consumer electronics.
>>52175194
I dunno man thats probably gonna be real spensive
>>52175918
the 980ti isn't going to drop in price again until around the time those cards release so you're going to wait one way or another
>>52170045
because anime isn't real familia
>>52175899
What the fuck am I updating this time?
>>52175819
I figured. Both my phone and tablet work fine on the network except for that one app.
The app was really glitchy anyways and I contacted them to see if they could help.
BTW my nephew was on second life sending hacks to another hacker, vise versa and now his new laptop is edging already. I told him that was his business and didn't want anything to do with it.
Now I fear our home internet is at stake.
So I've earned like 1 million dollars from Bitcoin trading (extremely lucky).
What should I do with it? Best desktop, laptop, phone, etc?
>>52175967
Your dumb fucking OS, you retarded mongoloid.
So I want to make a decimal to binary converter in java with recursion and i want it to have an int as parameter and i want it to return a String.
Can someone do that please?
>>52175967
november update if you didn't install it yet.
I'm buding a new PC, but I keep going over my budget, so I thought I could save up by taking the RAM sticks from my old computer. It's about 4 or 5 years old, and I'm guessing the RAM is 1333mhz DDR3.
Will I get good preformance from it or should I get new ones?
>>52175986
>>52175996
Thanks
I got a Radeon HD 7970 (which is basically a r9 280x) for 150 bucks for my mid-end gaming computer.
Did I fuck up? or was it the right choice??
>>52175978
with a million it doesn't really matter what you buy, look up an ultimate pc build for 2016 on youtube and something will pop up.
gor a laptop I'd honestly recommend a mac book pro, if you're just gonna use it to browse the internet and do some work than they're the most comfortable and best performing choice.
>>52175978
Send some to me, yo. Poor people need money too.
>>52175997
ddr3 1333mhz is almost as good as 1600mhz, which is the standard for an average computer.
You won't notice the difference, check out some benchmarks.
>>52176068
will it still be just as good after 4 years of intensive use? idk if RAM wears out or something.
also, it's only 8gb, so if I ever want to go up to 16, I'll probably have teouble finding the exact matching model.
What's a good brand for flash drives?
I'm tired of my shitty Kingston taking almost 20 min to write 4Gb.
I have PHP set up on my nginx box, and it works perfectly when I go to my site via the direct IP as the URL, but it doesn't work when I go to my site's domain name.
Anyone know what might be causing this behaviour?
>>52175602
Anybody? pls halp
>>52176101
It depends on how much more you want to use them. 4 years is not a lot in terms of usage. I had the same ddr2 800mhz 2gb ram for like 6-7 years and it still functioned.
You can expect it to run for, lets say, 4 years.
Have an old ThinkPad, runs windows 98 I think, sticker says made in Scotland on the bottom, finish is like rubber on the lid? Any use or value
>>52175997
it will be fine
>>52176158
alright, thank you.
what about upgrading though? if I want to add another 8gb, will I have to find the exact brand and model that I'm using or is that just a meme? I have no idea what brand or model the sticks are since it's not a custom pc.
>>52176244
Use speccy to figure out that information.
I'm not sure about brands, but the other RAM MUST have the same frecuency, latency, etc.
ur fine
>>52176145
did you set your server_name in your nginx config?
>>52176141
Next time, read what read/write speeds the shit you buy has then, retard.

how many different passwords of length 6 or 7 or 8 can be formed?
it can contain only lower case letters and only one digit
I have a problem in Linux mint:
I can't play .mkv files.
I get the sound, but no picture - and I've tried with multiple encoders/players (including VLC, SMPlayer and MPV)
Anybody?
>>52172478
set up a hackintosh
>>52176555
If that includes random ass passwords like ah1cdef then it would be something like
(26 lowercase letters) (10 digits) 36^8
Or something. I'm bad at math.
>>52175978
>1 million dollars
fake, you wouldnt be on 4chan right now faggot
>>52167792
Mxq definitely.
>>52176564
What GPU and what drivers? You may have to go into your mpv.conf file (~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf) and experiment with different video outputs.
>>52176555
it's like 8^26 for just letters, and of that format for the other variations.
>>52176564
you're missing a library for it, most likely. check the optional dependencies for mpv. that's what I would do first, at least.
>>52176397
I'm pretty sure that being 7-8 years old has nothing to do you fucking faggot.
>>52176555
>>52176586
Or if it's only one digit it would be more complex like
36x(26^7)
My motherboard manufacturer recommends putting my RAM only in pairs. I put 8gb in dual channel and added one more 4GB stick, total of 12GB.
Can this unsupported RAM configuration be responsible of my constant display driver crashes?
>>52176746
No matter what driver they still happen. Using a 4690k but no video card.
Are integrated graphics this troublesome?
>>52176187
There are collectors on ebay, sell it.
I'm planning on getting a new CPU, since my FX-4200 was originally purchased as a placeholder. It's done admirably for a $60 chip, but it definitely shows it's age. My question is: should I get an FX-8320 or an FX-8370? I'm thinking I could just OC the 8320 to the same speed as the 8370, but I'm also not too knowledgeable about CPUs.
>>52176591
Okay...
If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? What tech would you buy?
>>52176641
someone else gave me this answer
6 * 10 * 26^5 + 7 * 10 * 26^6 + 8 * 10 * 26^7
>>52176730
>manufacturer recommends putting my RAM only in pairs
For dual channel, it accesses two banks in parallel, effectively doubling memory bandwidth. The way these work, the RAM has to be the same size, and work on the same timings. So, two same size sticks of RAM with different timings are used at the slowest common timings. If the sticks are different sizes, the memory controller goes into single channel mode, because the alternative would be to ignore the extra in the larger stick.
Single channel mode isn't less stable, just slower.
>>52177080
Got it, looks like I get to keep my 12GB of RAM. I guess this issue goes unnoticed since everyone with a 4690k uses a videocard and just disables integrated graphics.
Should I get a modular psu? Also I'm guessing I should get one with more watts than I actually need just to be safe?

Is there some format script for mp3tag which can automatically search for specific words and de-capitalize them, if they're not the first word in the tag category?
I want to make sure all artist/album/title tags in my library don't have incorrectly capitalized "from", "the", "of", and so on.
>>52177156
Get more wattage but don't be excesive. My seasonic's g-series is semi modular and so far the cable management has been a breeze.
