That's a big fuckin laptop fuck
What a stupid post.

>he can't even answer
Now, who's really the stupid one here?
Is Firefox 40 the last good version?
I'm still really pissed off they removed browser.newtab.url in 41, and 38 ESR is no good because it doesn't support Youtube HTML5.
>>51233012
>using deprecated software
install an add-on or switch to normie chrome
>>51233012
>removed browser.newtab.url
Use an add-on.
>>51233012
No, firefox 3.6 was the last good version. Install Palemoon.

Should I just give in /g/?
I just set up my rig again after it being offline for 10 months. It hasn't gotten any windows updates in the past 10 months at all, and auto updating is off so its recieved nothing from microsoft.
Should I just go ahead and update to 10? Or should I keep living without telemetry as long as possible? Is there any way to know which windows updates are the ones that install the telemetry features on 7 so I can avoid them?
The copy of windows is pirated so I'd rather not have a watermark in 10, but I guess thats an easy fix. I would just keep living without updating but I'm afraid it'll make me more vulnerable to malware.
Thoughts, o wise /g/?
bumping
i-i dont know what to do senpai
i think about this to much. i have /g/ to thank for that. making me paranoid over the years with botnets etc. in the end ivve come to this conclusion. just live with it. install 7 and keep it updated. if Microsoft was really spying on u as much as /g/ thinks it was. then they would get sued .
>>51233097
I kind of have that attitude too, but I feel like this is the last thing I have left before giving in completely and just not caring so I can't decide

Schillsaver is a program that allows you to en/decode any file(s) into a video that can be up/downloaded from to YT or any other
video hosting site for free file storage.
The current process takes forever with large files, see the tests below, so it's currently only somewhat useful for small files.
-------------------------------------
The latest version can be downloaded at the following link. I recommend reading through most of the instructions either on the
webpage or in the readme file as you're setting up the program for the first time.
The readme on the webpage is for convenience and has had some text edited, but the readme included with the download is complete.
http://valkryst.com/schillsaver/index.html
The GitHub page is at the following link.

-------------------------------------
Test #1:
This test took a ~64Mb file, archived it with 7z down to ~60Mb, and encoded it in 20 minutes into a~126Mb mkv file.
It was uploaded to YTusing the "yt:quality=high" tag and it processed perfectly fine. When downloading with the ClipConverter site it was retrieved as a ~366Mb mp4 file.
Decoding the ~126Mb mkv file took ~2 minutes. Same for the ~366Mb file.
The files, as far as I could tell without an MD5, were perfectly intact.
Test #2:
This test took a ~3GB file, archived it with 7z to 3GB, and encoded it in 23h25m into a ~8.7GB video file on a dual core G3220. See >>51133373

The new version should be out later today. I won't be able to test every single possible way to break the program on my own, so expect a few bugs here and there, but I'll fix 'em up right quick once I'm notified of them.
I've had to learn some CSS to style the interface, so the buttons are a bit iffy looking (although the look is growing on me slightly).
Everything seems to work a lot more smooth/quickly than the old Swing interface, the native file chooser can be used instead of the shitty Java file chooser, and you now create "Jobs" to run instead of en/decoding a bunch of files at any one time.
The current way that Jobs will be run is pretty basic, but I'm going to implement a greedy algorithm to run the shortest Jobs first along with a two-threaded operation to allow the user to run both encode and decode Job at the same time.
won't youtube just mangle this with lossy compression? is there a size limit where it won't do that?
>>51232892
With the program's default settings, the videos are "compressed" to a point where they're still perfectly fine to download and decode.
All of the settings where we've achieved better ratios result in YouTube's compression doing too much damage to the video or not having supported colorspaces for YT to use.

Where's your source, faggot?
I'm trying to root my Moto G LTE but I can't boot into TWRP no matter what I fucking do.
Help me /g/ I am so damn upset right now.
I'm able to ./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (pic related) and that works. But I can't actually get into TWRP from there. I tried holding the volume buttons and power button. I tried random commands.
Help?
I'm following these instructions but I just can't get into TWRP.
It just boots the phone again and I have to start from scratch.

kinda obvious, but have to ask.
did you unlock the bootloader?
Is this a good UPS to buy?
>>51232697
I'll vouch for that one, I have the 1350VA version and its been working great for a year and a half now. 28 events and counting.
>>51233557
Not OP, but is there a reason why anyone should buy a pure sinewave UPS? Or is it just marketing snake oil?

What are some modern CMS? Already googled it but I have no idea which ones are actually good.
>>51232497

>>51232509
Can I use any design with it or just "wordpress-style"?

So, what do you say now Firefox and Mozilla apologists? Or believers that ad-ons can save you of feature take outs?
Mozilla has made another big step on the Chrome road, to be as stupid and minimalistic as Chrome!
Enjoy, Google Chrome clone fags :)
>>51232399
You know, I'm okay with this, under the condition that there will be an add-on to add the functionality back.
>>51232716
You Firefox apologists are really the greatest stupid cunts after all.
Will you assholes never learn?
Why are you still using FF. You should have switched to Pale Moon a long time ago.
Why are you still using the most harmful init system of all time for GNU/Linux, /tech/?
systemd is:

>viral
>not portable
>a fractal of bad design

It's running well on all my production servers.
So far, the only people I've found that hate systemd are:
>bsd-babies who can't pirate linux software as easily since they have systemd dependencies
>idiots who don't know how to setup their fstab correctly
Arch on laptop.
FreeBSD on server.
No one forces you to use systemd, there are plenty of alternatives.
