I need help with ffmpeg to re-encode bunch of files to be of smaller size.
What should I set my variables to?ffmpeg -i file.whatever -c:v libx264 -c:a libvorbis -crf 22 -preset fast output.mp4
What can I do to make the files even smaller in size?

The Intel Proset driver for Windows 7 is causing all Lenovo laptops in my company to blue screen randomly on wireless. Formatting and completely re-installing the driver does no good.

So do they turn off when you type in lowercase / use the numpad? Might just be that they're set to default to "on" in the BIOS settings, check there.

Weird question; can I get an estimate on how much a sewing machine costed around 1985?

If video isn't important as audio you can set the bitrate to 1-1.5M you'll still get decent video.
Also re-encoding the audio will lead to degrade in audio quality.

Plug it into a laptop or something and see if it still gives you the same problem. If it does it's just a hardware problem with the keyboard itself. I doubt you're going to have much luck with it but you could try popping the keys off and brushing the area with a little toothbrush or something. Only reason I suggest that is it has helped when keys like to stick for me, can't guarantee it will do anything for you.

You make a live USB stick and boot from that. Alternatively, try to set it up so you can choose which OS to boot from your HDD (if you fuck up all your shit is gone but GNU/Linux will run smoother).
But really you should just delete Windows (possibly do a minimal reinstall for just games if you absolutely must) and install any GNU/Linux distro that comes with lots of pre-installed packages. Xubuntu is nice.

Windows has a CLI.
GNU/Linux (what you're referring to as Linux, blah blah) is not a programming language, it's an operating system just like Windows, except it's free (as in freedom). It has a CLI that you can use (it's called bash and should be available on Windows as well), but it also has various desktop environments like GNOME, KDE, XFCE that allow you to work with windows, status bars etc. as you normally would.
Making a live USB stick is easy, takes no time at all and will allow you to experience GNU/Linux fully without having to commit to it.
I recently obtained a touch-screen monitor for dirt cheap. Thinking about using it with Windows 8, since it's basically tailored for tablets/touch screen monitors.

What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Take a list of software that you use daily.

2. See if there's an alternarive that runs on linux
3. See if it runs with wine
4. Run a virtual machine or dual boot
The benefits will mostly come as personal improvement, learning and undertsanding. There's also fun to be had, if you're into that.

depends on the reaction time of the monitor, but i doubt it. if it's going to lag or ghost, it will do so with any video, no matter the resolution. just make sure your cpu can handle 1080p

No, most important windows stuff runs as a service, not as an executable on startup. You won't break your computer that easily. In fact, booting up windows in safe mode disables all your startup programs for the session, among other things so try that if you want.
That said, if you disable everything you'll probably disable something you would normally use, such as your audio driver control panel, your anti-virus interface, mostly stuff that sits in the tray bar (bottom right of your desktop).

Only on some games, namely HL2-based games like TF2, and those servers are still going to kick you if they have a ping limit set.
There is no sure-fire way to fake this information, as ping is from your game client to the server; a VPN would not circumvent this.

So, I've tried out ubuntu on vmware. I have a feew q's before I switch though.
1) Does Microsoft Word/Excel/Poerpoint work in ubuntu?
2)How customizable is it?
3)Does it always do that black screen with white text cmnd when starting up, or is that only for the Virtual Device?
4)Which is the better version of ubuntu? I used 14 for the Virtual device, but which should I use for the actual OS?
5)Do many apps support ubuntu/linux? Would I be losing a lot by switching from windows?

tried-threads 1?
So recently started learning Java to get into mobile app dev
Thing is I need to make an app and have it on market within a certain time frame but that is not gonna happen at this rate, it'll take me at least a year or two to become decent.
How would I go about assembling a /g/-tier mobile app dev team? Would it be possible to dish out a somewhat complex game in a time frame of...2-4 months?
>>53987553
I've tried it, the temps are now in 70C should I use-threads 0? for even lower temps?
>>53987476
Bump
>>53987646
0 uses all cores. 70C is not that bad
>>53987634
Sounds like a job for Unity + C#.
Easier to go from start to finish assuming you don't know any languages right now.
Can deploy to all mobile platforms at once, but you can certainly focus your testing on Android devices.
>>53987662
I see, Now I'm using Intel Core i5.
I have two physical core, and two virtual cores, right?
So when I specify the threads to 1 does it use the physical core?
>>53987713
It uses one thread on one core, and may end up waiting on another active thread on that core if they need to access the same bit of architecture.

Wich GPU should i get for my i5 3550? r9 380 or gtx 960?
Afternoon, /g/. I'd like some insight on a small problem I'm having.
I've got an old, old netbook - a Lenovo Ideapad S10. I think I got it from my uncle, and the hard drive died way back when in 2009 or something. It's in working condition, but the battery is totally crap. Can't stay on without being plugged in, which I don't mind that much.
So, the story goes like this. I have a few laptops I'm not using anymore, and I thought it would be possible to take out the HDD out of one and pop it into the netbook, format the disk, and re-purpose it for light web browsing or something. I was actually planning to learn linux this way. I made a boot USB for a distro I saw a while back called Korora, but it didn't exactly want to load properly. So, I tried out Xubuntu. When I attempt to install it, however - the hard drive has a heart attack or something. It'll start making clicking, grindy noises, and then the system hangs after a while. I tried using Xubuntu directly from the USB, and accessing the disk at all hangs the system.
What could the issue be? Is the HDD not right for the netbook? Should I buy a new HDD and try it? The HDD in question is from an old Toshiba laptop, with an install of Vista on it.
>>53988330
Why you prefer using a "old, old netbook" instead of more powerful laptops?
How about checking the health of the HDD with appropiate software? They do not live more than 5 years...
>>53987815
I see.
then is there a way to make ffmpeg pause/resume or something like that?
Been having issues with what I assume is my CPU overheating, I bought a new GPU And the issue started, generally the PC will lock up and I'll have to restart windows and it'll have trouble starting and blue screen..should I just do a full reinstall?
What do I do when internet goes down for hours?
>>53988515
Watch some tv or take a shower
>>53988515
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethering :^)
>>53988377
Just to mess around with, like I said, it'd be for light web browsing. I could use the other "more powerful" laptops, but they're cumbersome, hot, and loud. It's a cozy little machine.
I'll try checking the disk health though. Thanks for the input.
I was trying to put a new (old) hard drive into my computer, and it caused my computer to go into BIOS setup mode. I read that I'd have to change the boot sequence, but no matter how I changed it, it still only started the BIOS mode. Can I choose to only boot the one with my OS or can I completely empty it form the BIOS menu?

Side note: how accurate is speccy at reading temps? I'm literally just sitting here listening to Spotify and my CPU is at 85°. My cooler isn't speeding up and under load the fan does kick on. AMD overdrive shows my thermal margin at 32. I have an x4 860k NOT oc'ed
a glossy 4k IPS 120hz 27-30" monitor would be my ideal monitor, does it exist?
>>53988460
If I had to make a wild guess, I would say your GPU is overheating and not your CPU. Make sure the air flow in your system is good and if you have all of your parts cramped together in a small box it will create airflow constrictions and cause everything to heat up way faster than normal.
Alternatively, when you got new GPU, did you make sure that your current PSU had enough energy to power it as well and everything else in your system comfortably? Some GPUs can eat energy. I'm not sure of all the details of what it can cause, I would assume your computer not getting enough power would maybe cause a BSOD.
Also, install some type of software that can read PC Hardware temperatures. It will tell you what you need to know is overheating.
I'd also like you to take all of this with a grain of salt because I am only somewhat certain that the advice I'm giving is completely valid.
Why do people recommend mpc hc when it looks so fucking ugly? Is there no good player that doesn't look like ass?
>>53988740
Ahh I have speccy and my psu is a decent 550 watt nzxt which is more than enough for a single GPU system..also the GPU hasn't gotten above 75 degrees. Some games the fans don't even kick on..I'm lead to believe it's the CPU because of the sudden spike in usage when a game starts.

It's identical to or very similar to the UNIX hostname standard -- iirc hostnames are 1-64 characters, consist of letters and numbers and _ and must start with a letter. "Is the first character a number?" is one simple check lazy code can do to test whether something is supposed to be a name or an IP.

8.1 does not botnet if you make a local non MS account, and when it asks whether to use recommended settings, don't and turn off the various switches. GWX Control Panel is a must on both 7 and 8.1, as is being careful with updates. Single click settings in 7 and 8.1 will help, as >>53984432 said. Apart from that, it's mostly preference. Want to use a little start menu in the corner that is probably cramped for touch, or a full screen thing with large tiles? Want fullscreen apps with large buttons, or compact desktop apps with usually more features (8.1 has both for most apps but the touch ones are easier to get to by default).
>>53986585
They're identical unless one is made from a better source than the other. Or of course if you rip with something that doesn't make an accurate copy. CDs are hard to rip properly -- you want to use EAC or something cdparanoia based like the command line ripit on Linux.

It's an early i5 if it only has 2 logical cores (how many `cat /proc/cpuinfo` lists). More recent ones have hyperthreading, which doubles the logical core count since each core can handle 2 threads.

About the music, I need suggestions, because I'm working with two options:
1) Using a Raspberry Pi to make a dedicated music player with a small screen and decent speekers
2) Get an old laptop with a big HDD, external sound card and speakers.

Why do i have two internet connections?
I use xfinity, they use the same password
One is very fast (I download large steam games in 10-15 minutes) but cuts out PRETTY FUCKING OFTEN. Another one is what I would assume average or slow (downloads steam games in 5 hours)
Also why do i always have "xfinity wifi" as a 3rd choice which is open but then prompts me to logging into xfinity if I were to use it
Ideally I'd like to find a way to keep the quick one from cutting out but I'd also like to know what these are
Hello.
I'm new to linux, but I'm really trying to make the switch this time.
I'm on the latest version of elementary OS, which I believe is based on Ubuntu 14.04.
I want to install mpv, but I don't feel safe compiling stuff myself. I want to install it simply by typing "sudo apt-get install X" in the terminal. Does anyone know what its name is?
>>53989051
Linux...may not be for you.
>>53989051
you can simply try it out, programs for linux don't often share a name:sudo apt-get install mpv
if that doesn't work you can investigate further
>>53988377
Similar to him, I have a reasonably powerful i7 Thinkpad with 16 GB RAM, but right now I'm using a shitty old AspireOne to shitpost. Slow little AMD C-60 and 4 GB RAM. It's slow but plenty fast enough to handle web and some coding. And it's really small and lightweight, but still gets ~6 hours of battery life.

This is why we store content offline instead of falling for the stream everything meme. At the moment I have quite a bit of unwatched anime in my torrents folder and some unplayed games in my Steam that I picked up in sales. I'm pretty much set if my cable goes out for a while. I can also phone tether but not do heavy things over it since reception isn't that great.

Depends on board. Some boards are tricky to read accurate temps from. I've seen some Speccy screenshots showing nutty and obviously not valid temps like 127C.

If you don't like MPC HC, try VLC. Only flaws people have been able to point out are that font rendering on subtitles is not quite as pretty, and colors look washed out if you set your GPU overlay color range incorrectly to TV instead of PC. Also, MPC HC can work with MadVR to enhance video while VLC can't.
>>53988923
But you don't look at the controls, you put it fullscreen and look at the beautiful video it's rendering. Do you prefer a player that has pretty looking controls, or one that displays enhanced, prettier video?

My usual go-to for the generic case is Speedfan. Of course if there's a specific program for your system or board (like tpfancontrol for Thinkpads), use that instead.

Speed fan shows my temps as

Temp2: 36

These are all totally different than speccy and I'm still unsure how to proceed
I have a EVGA 980ti FTW, and at idle with default fan settings my temp is about 40c-42c, but if i set my fans to 25% the temp drops to 30c. Is it ok if I leave my fans running at 25% during idle and 100% when I game?

>>53986417
also, if you only wait up to 3 digits, use "\d{1,3}" the {1,3} means "preceding character 1 through 3 times", you can also omit either for things like "{,5}" (up to 5 times), or "{5,}" (at least 5 times)
"\d+" is "one or more of the preceding character" ("\d*" is zero or more)

there's several potential options;
1. clean dust out of the machine, reapply thermal paste. these should be done if the machine ran cooler when it was new, depending on your skills, you might need to take it in to a repair shop to do this for you
2. underclock the machine (either in the BIOS, or setting a lower state in software)
3. run a separate script to periodically pause and resume ffmpeg, for example;while true; do pkill -STOP ffmpeg; sleep 60; pkill -CONT ffmpeg; sleep 60; done
(signals ffmpeg to stop executing, waits 60 seconds, signals to continue, waits 60 seconds, and repeats. so ffmpeg is running for a minute, then stops for a minute. adjust times to suit)

I ordered a 4TB hard drive on Amazon since it was on sale and I thought it was just a regular SATA hard drive but after reading the store page again it turns out it is a solid state drive... Will my motherboard need a different kind of connection for this, or is there some kind of adapter available or something? I spent almost a hundred bucks on this thing so I'd be positively miffed if it turns out it won't work in my PC.
>>53989581
Well, first of all, the if statement is always going to be true so you could drop it.
Step 1:a = 2
print a
while a < 100:
a += 2
print a
Second step is to avoid doing special handling the first time, as there really isn't any point to it.
Step 2:a = 0
while a < 100:
a += 2
print a
Now, this is just fine. But I would consider doing this as a third step, namely:for a in range(2, 100, 2):
print a

I don't think so. Distros vary so much that they may as well almost be considered different operating systems.

thanks for the tips
that if statement is a leftover from my former experiments, for example doing a*=2 instead of a+=2 which returned numbers larger than 100. but that range function is much sweeter. I have to learn these.
