I'll start: Is there any good FlagFox alternative for Chrom(ium)?
The top part of the picture is the icon that FlagFox uses, while the bottom part is the icons of literally every single Chrome extension that tries to copy it.
Additionally, as far as I can tell there are no Chrome extensions that even try to implement more than one or two of the features that FlagFox has integrated (VirusTotal, Google Translate, etc.)
Is there an extension that I've missed, or am I forced to just abandon FlagFox if I want to switch to Chrome?

Question, how is it that some gpus are good at video editing and 3d rendering stuff but apparently arent good for video games. Like quadro and geforce or radeon and whatever amds equivalent is
>>
>>54647077
that's good to know, I didn't touch the thing
>>
>>54647081
They are also very good at video games, they're just specifically designed for a different task so they are comparatively bad at the task that they weren't designed for.
Or if you meant the actual reason that it's possible, it's because the architecture is different.
>>
>>54647131
Yeah im curious about the architecture thing. I would have though since quadro is good for rendering and 3d rendering that it should be better than consumer geforce cardi honestly have no idea how a video card works or how amd and nvidia cards are better for different thinga (like bitcoin mining).

what the fuck is a microwave powered car? Hmmm... I guess that you mount a rectenna on an electric car and beam microwaves at it.

Cars are already almost faraday cages, by putting mesh or transparent conductor in the windows the whole car would be microwave safe.

You can send a specific packet from another device in the network to power on the computer.

If you take a lossy file, say an MP3, and transcode it to a FLAC, does that file now behave like a true lossless file, in that it will not suffer any further loss of quality when being transcoded to different lossless formats?
>>
>>54649145
No, a lossy file file transcoded into a lossless file doesn't increase its quality. It's also considered to be a bad idea because the lossy quality of the audio file still persists even after the transcode. Avoid transcoding lossy files to lossless, it's a bad idea.
>>
>>54649135
Kaspersky, AVG, Webroot. All of them are very good and come with cheap subscription renewal plans.
>>
>>54649197
You completely missed the point of the question.

I'm well aware of how lossy and lossless files behave and how generational loss works. What I am asking, is if a lossy file transcoded to a lossless format will now _behave_ like a lossless file, in that it will be subject to no FURTHER generational loss should it be transcoded between lossless formats again. I am aware that the initial lossy > lossless transcode has already subject the file to one transcode's worth of generational loss.
>>
>>54649238
No it won't suffer any more loss in quality, it'll just be bigger in size because flacs are larger than most lossy formats. So really, you achieved nothing in the end, all you did was make your files a bit bigger.

They probably won't do anything about it unless you get another letter or two, but I'd recommend looking into prices for verizon plans if they are near you.
Comcast tries not to actually cause any problems to the customer because they'd still rather have you as a paying customer than cancel your service, but comcast does regularly comply with the copyright laws and cancel service.
Verizon, on the other hand, doesn't give a shit.

Never understood why /g/ have to be so snobby about antivirus. Yeah, obviously no matter what antivirus you have the most important thing is to be smart and not download anything you aren't reasonably sure is safe. Still, there's no harm in having the safety net there to catch you in the unlikely event you fuck up. Much better than having some shit silently stealing your info for months/years and just being completely ignorant of it.

It's like those guys who refuse to use a condom because their girl assures them she's on birth control. Yeah, it's probably safe anyway, but you never know. Do you really want to chance it?

>can have its own security vulnerabilities, which lead your system to be vulnerable to exploits it otherwise would not have been with no AV installed
There's definitely a reason to not use an AV if you're not retarded.

Ultimately, though, you're a fucking retard if you're expecting security on Windows computers at all in the first place.
>>
>>54653600
I'm not sure how being "not retarded" will save you if you happen to get caught up in some 0-day exploit by pure bad luck though. And since you have no antivirus you have little chance of ever discovering you're even compromised, as long as the person that did it isn't an idiot themselves.
