When designing a lossless codec, is it possible to make a "mistake" which leads to a codec that has some error causing it to be not 100% truly lossless? Or do any mistakes just lead to less efficiency?

Your porn, you might have downloaded something stupid and ran it.
Think, do you have any idea what could have caused this?
>>55165774
If it's software, the culprit is between TrinusVR, Vireio, and some LG usb drivers, all of which I removed.
If not, something may have happened upon me getting a BSOD in the middle of using all of those things at once and closing the Unity game I was trying to play.
My phone was also tethered to my PC at the time, but network on my phone was turned off. I also ran mobile Malwarebytes on my phone today and didn't catch anything.
>>55165717
A capacitor is like you said, to store a given amount of DC voltage. It allows a circuit to maintain a constant voltage on the exiting side. Think of it as a buffer, filling up and discharging rapidly to regulate/stabilize a piece of the circuit. At its most basic.

>>55165660
Open MSCONFIG. Diagnostic start up with only windows processes. Still happening. Safe mode with networking and run your programs. If it is still fucked after those you most likely have damaged system files. Run System file check in command line. After that run disk check. If all of this fails to fic the issues then you need to reinstall windows.

I bought an old dell optiplex 380, threw in a x5460 cpu and a 750ti for kicks and giggles.
At first, it worked fine, then started to give me serious lags and freezes. I found out that one of the Nvidia driver updates was fucking up people's cards, then reverted back to an older driver, and that fixed my issues for a while.
Freezing and lagging started again, so I took apart completey, put back together, new thermal paste, added a new hard drive and upgraded dell's stock chinese 255w PSU, as I figured my problems were either due to insufficient power or a bad hard drive. (hard drive is from 07).
When I put everything back together just now, as soon as I turn the PSU switch on, the GPU fan starts up and hits the max speed and won't stop, also when I hit the PC power button nothing happens.
Did I fuck everything?
Only other thing worth noting is that I plugged an 8pin power cable in the 4 pin one by going str8 down the middle, it fit properly.
Before you ask, no I don't know what the fuck I am doing I've never built PCs before until now. This has been trial by fire.

Try a system restore and go back to a week or so before this started. Best I can say. Usually at this point I would take a look but that's not possible. If that doesn't work you may have to reinstall.

think of a jug with a tap on the bottom
now imagine pouring cups of water into the jug
the water going in from the glasses is at an inconsistant rate, but the water coming out of the jug's tape is fairly consistant (not perfectly, due to the varying weight of the water in the jug)
the jug is similar to a capacitor in this scenario

I have a computer with 4 USB ports. Problem is I need 5 unless i want to keep swapping out devices, and if my past an any proof I'm sure one of these ports will die in a couple years time.
I purchased a HooToo USB hub with 9 ports because it was the cheapest option thanks to Amazon.
Its not on sale anymore, but it was $20 for awhile.
https://www.amazon.com/HooToo-9-Port-Charging-Transfer-Samsung/dp/B00FR795WA
It worked fine for about 4 months but now its not recognizing any devices I plug into it (Windows 10). It still gets power, it can power my USB headset and charge my phone ok but it seems incapable of recognizing any devices. The lights on my Logitech keyboard don't even light up when I plug it in, whereas they did before I used my keyboard just fine.
I've tried it on my Windows 7 and Linux laptops as well and they can't recognize anything either, so I'm assuming the thing just shit out.
So my question is does anyone know of a reliable USB hub or is there another way to expand the number of USB ports? And can you fix dead ports when they inevitably arise?
>>55166767
try connecting the usb hub to another host usb connector if you haven't already, it might be the host connector that has a problem
>can you fix dead ports when they inevitably arise?
it shouldn't be inevitable unless you're misusing your ports
>is there another way to expand the number of USB ports?
assuming it's a desktop, you can get pci/e usb cards
>>55166657
The earliest restore point I had was right before installing those drivers, so I've restored to that point. Can't open mbam, can't reinstall dropbox. Why did mbam work perfectly fine in safe mode and not now?

>>55166802
>try connecting the usb hub to another host usb connector if you haven't already, it might be the host connector that has a problem
Can you elaborate on this. As far as I can tell its something in the control panel?

i'm talking about physically plugging the hub into a different usb connector on the computer
>>55166856
Oh yeah, tried all four, and all 3 on my laptops.

if you tried different machines and different devices (which work on their own), then it's certainly just the hub which isn't working right

Is this a decent build for a $1000 budget? it'll be used for art (music and drawing), general browsing, occasional gaming, and porn. I have another 4gb of ram at home. should I go for more than 8 gb?
>>55167188
What kind of gaming? Heavy, triple A, fresh off the shelves?
Or like indie, low-resource intensive stuff?
If the first one, I'd spring for 16 gb. Not necessary, but its good to have in reserve for when games get even more intensive.
>>55167188
If you want to overclock you'll want a Z170 motherboard and a better cooler
Get an SSD
>>55167188
Bring that PSU down to 650 watts. Why go for the 6600K if you're going to stick it in an H series motherboard and use what is essentially a stock cooler on it? Switch that for a 6600 or even a 6500. Also consider getting a better case.

mostly indie, but occasionally older triple-A games I never got to play on my laptop. I can buy ram later if I need it.
>>55167244
what should I look for in a cooler?
>>55167383
In your case, if you're not going with a K part, just use the stock cooler. If you are using the K part, you need an aftermarket cooler since Intel doesn't provide one. In that case, look for something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212.
>>55165717
capacitors have many uses. I'll list just a few of them:
filtering noise
resonance circuits
buffering
time travel
>>55165717
Typical question of someone whose brain has been formatted by computer science. In real world, not everything has an abstract role. Capacitors behave in a certain way, but that doesn't make them have a purpose per se. Their behavior can be useful in some tasks, you could say they can be "hacked" to do certain things. Like how you can say they are used to do filtering or decoupling power supplies.
>>55167188
Dont buy ASRock motherboards.
Get a better cooler unless you need a low profile.
Dont buy a K CPU with a H170 motherboard, get a Z170 motherboard.
Otherwise get a I5-6500.
Get a 240GB 850 EVO.

Somebody I know built a W10 computer recently and has been riddled with issues. With only default programs installed and a fresh install of windows they randomly gets errors all over the fucking place. Programs frequently crash giving
>instruction at *0xaddress1* referenced memory at *0xaddress2* the memory could not be written
Gets that error randomly from all kinds of different unrelated programs including background windows services. A few other in-windows crashes but that's the only concerning one. Couple that with occasionally getting spurts of inability to boot without getting every blue-screen under the fucking sun.
>random blue screen "Page fault in non-paged area" (For example)
>reboots, crashes before login k"Kernel security check failure"
>reboots, crashes "driver irql not less or equal"
>reboots, continue with random unrelated (As far as I can tell) blue screens
>eventually just ends up stuck on windows loading screen
I haven't tried any other OS's yet. Next step is to try W7 or linux and see what happens. I'm 99% sure it's a hardware problem but all the windows check's come back okay, and sometimes it'll pass CPU/RAM stress tests alright. I don't have the spare parts on-hand to troubleshoot the hardware myself because I don't have any LGA1151 CPUs or DDR4. So I've basically narrowed it down to, in order of likelihood (aka, things to return in this order):
>RAM
>motherboard
>CPU
>SSD
... which is basically every fucking thing in the computer.
After all that, I'm just wondering if anybody here's got any ideas for things to try. Maybe something I haven't thought of. I've spent hours trying to figure this out and I'm pretty much out of ideas till I can go over and try a different OS on it.
parts list is:
i5 6500
msi z170a sli plus
corsair vengeance (2x4gb) 2400mhz ddr4
samsung 850 evo 500gb
corsair RM650i
Might be worth noting that it seems the RAM isn't on the qvl for the motherboard. Never actually seen that be an issue though.
>>55167515
Run MEMTEST.
Install W7.
>>55167500
is there any particular reason not to get an asrock motherboard? I switched out with a Z170 as recommended by other anons, but it's still asrock; the site lists a combo deal with the i5-6600k which is pretty good for my jew self
>>55165494
>>55167584
BIOS, "cheap" quality which is bad for overclocking, etc.
They are known for having problems since a long time ago but they werk, get a good quality motherboard, GB has shitty but not horrible BIOS, but good quality, EVGA and MSI are good but EVGA has shitty warranty.
Dont cheap out in your motherboard and PSU since those are probably the last parts you will ever change.

Also, forgot to try sigverif until just now. Listed 9 unsigned files that I couldn't tell what they were. 3 unscanned files which Google searches told me are hidden anti hack drivers for some mmos. Again, everything works fine in safe mode, even reinstalled dropbox and resynced my folders. Would upgrading to Win10 fix this or would that be a bad idea going from my pirated Win7?
>>55167313

>What is the fastest way to transfer data to one computer to another?
By attaching a hard drive to a St. Bernard dog.
True story btw.
>>55167751
Just have both computers on the same network (preferably wired, but wifi should still be alright). right click the files you want to transfer and find something like "share with..." and share with your homegroup. Go to the other computer, open file explorer and the other computer should appear under the network dropdown, and the folders/files should be there, just copy/paste them to the other computer.

i don't think you can resize a vdev
>>55167876
yeah, 2Mb/s is not right. Might be related to the wifi (especially if the one with the wifi is an older laptop or something with an old nic)
You can directly hook up 2 computers with a wire, but unless things are different now, you'd need a crossover cable, not just a regular ethernet cable.

ISP won't care unless it's a copyright issue, employer will though.
Ways around this:
1. HTTPS proxy
2. Tether it to your phone via usb/wi-fi if you can, and hope there is no secret traffic client that will save it for the next time it's reconnected
3. Only browse on your phone, bring your own laptop that you say you need for testing something and tether to that

Does a source follower amplifier have current gain like an emitter follower?
Also do Darlington/Sziklai pair configurations only work for BJTs or do those configurations work with FETs too? I feel like the answer is no because those configurations serve to multiply the beta of both transistors and give you a higher gain, but to my knowledge only BJTs have this beta (hfe) parameter and FETs don't so I don't think it'd do anything.
Trying to figure out whether to use BJTs, JFETs, MOSFETs, or IGBTs for the output stage of a headphone amp designed for low impedance headphones.
im currently planning on building a new pc
with this pc I intend to have both windows for vidyagays and linux for everything else. What I want to do is have two completely separate hard drives, one with linux and one with windows, but im lost on where to look for how to set up a menu on boot to pick which hard drive to boot to (no parts have been bought as of yet)
>>55170132
With separate drives its very simple, you can just use the BIOS to set the boot drive.
>>55170132
install one OS on each drive, then on boot you can configure BIOS to prompt which OS to load on boot
>>55170132
It's usually F12 or something for boot menu. But why not put GNU/Linux in virtual machine so you don't waste so much time?

Maybe this deserves its own thread but here goes :
How can I live stream a game to a small number of people (even a single person would be a great start) with VERY LITTLE DELAY (< 3 seconds) ? Much like a skype convo. This is for playing co-op and generally fucking around.
What I have tried so far :
>Twitch, YT Gaming, everything that relies on streaming to a public 'host', then have people connect to this stream.
There's a 20 seconds to 1 minute delay unless you're a partner, and even then, the delay is superior to 5 seconds so that's a no-go.
>Streaming (from OBS and XSplit) to RTP server providers.
Same situation with the delay.
>Using DXtory to get video from the game as a DirectShow output, and setting this as my webcam in Skype.
I found a tutorial on this, but recent versions of Skype apparently can't handle the video output from DXtory ? The output itself is working, yet I just get a buffering circle in Skype.
>DXtory set as webcam into Google Hangouts
it does pick up the video but there's a 30s delay
>DXtory directshow into VLC 'streaming' feature
VLC picks up the video but as soon as I start the stream, VLC crashes (closes down)

How do I check if a GPU is faulty?
I don't mean artifacts out the ass or something really obvious.
I see GTAV and FO4 lagging like mad on my brother's PC with an i5 4690k and a GTX 970. It is usally more noticeable at startup and gets better after a while, like a fucking old car warming up.
I want to narrow the issue because the GPU is still on warranty.
>>55170463
How long is it on warranty for?
>>55170463
Probably disk IO and it gets faster as everything gets loaded into memory
>>55170476

Is there any way to fix it? He's also using a Samsung SSD.
I did a clean install of W7 but it didn't fix anything.
>>55170529
Post all your specs, maybe there's a bottleneck. If you have speccy, run that and screenshot it.
>>55170529
If the game is loaded on the SSD then that shouldn't be the issue.
>>55170165
>virtual machine
Performance issues as you have to dedicate limited resources to the virtual machine.
Security issues as you are still actually running Windows and not GNU/Linux.
No physical data independence, which he may want for some reason.
It's not much more time consuming than setting up a virtual machine.
The only downside is >money but if he can afford it then let him
>>55170539
>>55170546
I don't think there's any hardware bottleneck.
And to clarify it, I built this computer last summer and it worked fine then. This issue started a couple of months ago.
>>55170607
Other than the slow-looking RAM, it could be that you're using more than 3.5GB of VRAM.
I'm a self taught ruby scripter and now I gotta choose between C# and Java if I want to land a job where I am, so my question is, assuming I don't care which language I get into, and only want the moneys, which one do I choose?

>>55170718
Then my conclusion is that updates fucked up the games performance since he's using the same settings.
>>55170757
Yeah it would probably be good to get 8gb at least, and throw in an SSD if you don't have one already. Other than that if it does what you need it to there's not much point in upgrading.
>>55170783
You connect to a proxy which is another IP address that a server or something has and you use the internet through that server to bypass shit.
>>55170791
Yeah I have a 120gb ssd, 8gb of ram would be useful, It would be nice to have a nice case because when I got it i used some no named piece of junk case and a new psu too because im using 1 to power gpu and other to power pc becaue motherboard is from dell.

On my first self-built PC here. Just looking to ask, about when should I be looking into getting new parts?
I built this computer some time around winter of last year, and I know AMD is coming out with a 400 line soon.
I'm on an R7 370, and assuming prices drop when the 400s come out, would it be worth it to switch up to a 390 or 390X? Is the difference in quality between cards of the same series good enough to justify that?
>>55171248
in my opinion, no, the difference is not big enough to justify buying a whole other card. when you should upgrade depends on your requirements (like if you want to play the most recent games on high settings at high resolutions and refresh rates) and on your budget. if you want to upgrade i would suggest looking at a more recent higher end card like gtx 1070.
>>55171248
Get new stuff when you're current stuff can't do what you want it to do. There's more to life than staring at pantallas.
>>55171300
I've developed a habit of intentionally using "you're" in place of "your" :p
>>55171287
>like if you want to play the most recent games on high settings at high resolutions and refresh rates
Mostly I'm just interested in keeping a consistent 60 FPS and 1080p, doesn't matter to me too much what settings I'm on.
Witcher 3 runs pretty inconsistently and tops out at like 50 FPS for me even on the lowest settings which is pretty irritating.
I don't mean my question purely in terms of whether the card itself is amazing or anything, more just if I have the disposable income to upgrade to a 390 when the price drops but not any of the 400 series, is it worth upgrading.
>>55171356
imo you should really save up for a gtx 1070 or maybe one of the later high-end (vega) AMD cards, it's just so much better than a 390, maybe save witcher 3 for later if you can't afford a better upgrade than a 390 right now
>>55171450
On a typical wageslave job making like $7.30 an hour it's kind of a pain to save that much, that's my real concern.
If I could take one of the high end AMD 300s/Nvidia 900s after a price drop, I'd take the lower performance for not having to spend the extra few months saving.
Though obviously I'd have to do some research into those cards first.
>>55171223

Also tried deleting some apps to clear space. Didn't work too.

What monitor size should I get if I want to orient it vertically? I'll be using it for programming, social media and temp/clock monitoring
>>55172516
21-23"
>>55172516
this: >>55172530 but you can probably stretch it to 27" for a 4k monitor if you have a deep desk so you can place the monitor further away
as for resolution get 1440p or 4k or higher (1080p might be ok but only if you have like triple monitors)
>>55172551
Why would I need a higher resolution just for text reading/image viewing?
>>55172591
for programming, 1080p sideways can barely fit 120 characters with a reduced font size and a narrow sidebar. a higher resolution helps with font rendering and for getting a bigger working area.

For that kind of cash, get a Cherry Trail chinktab with 4GB of RAM. Performance is roughly equivalent to an older Core i3 and graphics performance is doable for most things, even light gaming. Battery life is also tops for most models. Just have to find one that's not dual-boot with Android. That's a bitch to get rid of.

Should I upgrade, or just build a new PC?
Everything in pic-related is crammed into this case:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct4HdbXpVRA
-It's super hot here right now, so idle temp is way higher. Normally it's only 60 degrees but it's still too hot for this speed and I want to OC to 3.2 GHz. Available vertical space for a cooler is less than 100mm, with 60mm available on the sides, so I need to go with a low-profile cooler compatible with a LGA1366 socket that can still keep up with overclocking.
-Want to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 750Ti or GTX 950, but I might hold off until Black Friday for the GTX 960. I don't see the 1060 becoming available/affordable before the year is up.
-One of the two 60 mm backside case fans melted a few months ago, so that still needs to get replaced. There's a slot for an additional 60 mm fan near the GPU so I might add that too.
-I was thinking about grabbing 6 sticks of 24 GB (the Mobo doesn't support any higher, and can only have 1, 2, or 4 GB per slot).
-800w PSU is only partially modular, so half the cables are stuffed into the drive bays while the rest are underneath, blocking the one 90 mm frontal intake fan. Would like to replace it with full modular, but that's lower priority. At least everything fits inside the case at the moment, even if it is cutting it a bit too close.
-Would like an SSD, but I'm happy with the 10,000 RPM VelociRaptor.
-Would like to upgrade the case to something bigger and more airflow-friendly. Right now there is very little airflow except for the standing fan I'm blowing into the case from outside the side window.
I think I would have been fine not upgrading at all but stupid DirectX 11 is locking me out of modern games. I can only do DirectX 10 and lower. I don't want to get a 1060 for this system because everything else is just going to bottleneck it probably. I do a lot of high-res art/animation so that's why I want more ram.

No risk of damage and it can lower temps (but obviously performance as well) though the temperature difference may be marginal if at all. Run a stress test and benchmark, disable cores and run another to get a good idea of if it's worth the performance decrease
