Because, you know, its not like I already spend five minutes trying to find the goddamn gun emoji.

Standardized unicode, or proprietary wank?
It's already bad enough that iphone users can detect non-android users, are we going to be some new twitter hashtag about android users being racist for not using the proper colored emojis?

>dat yerrow hand
That's racist, my bottom hand is white not yerrow.

>are we going to be some new twitter hashtag about android users being racist for not using the proper colored emojis?
probably. there's always going to be some *inist who wants some attention by pointing the finger at others. I just realized how emojis are the 2015 equivalent to clipart.
What can I do with it?
Is it possible to install [spoiler]Linux[/spoiler] on it?
>>46832767
You can emulate Windows 95 with it.
Dunno if Linux too.
>What can I do with it?
Play pretty much every 5th gen game and under on it

Yes

there are a few mods available, installing a custom firmware and using it as a tiny screen for your computer for example or hacking a ps2 controller onto it
unreal engine is now free (allmost)
meanwhile unity launch version 5 !

which one is better and why? i have no experience in ue so i can not tell but what does /g/ think ?
>free
You mean gratis, my friend.
>>46831578
Unity is easier to learn, Unreal is better overall. Both aren't hard to learn but Unity is the easier, more user friendly of the two.
>>46831578
none of you fucks can program to use it . shut the fuck up
Can we get a tech buyers remorse thread?
> Nexus 5
I don't see a problem
>GTX 970
Though it will only really kick in in about a year, maybe two
Probably the best phone I've ever owned right there, can't say I have any remorse.
I've screencast to RAW avi with kazam (i'm on debian sid)
and I try to convert RAW avi to WebM
left: a frame of the RAW avi
right: a frame of the WebM
Quality of my WebM is very bad, i want to have the same quality of RAW avi
I've convert my RAW avi to WebM with avconv with this command line:avconv -i input.avi -c:v libvpx -crf 10 -b:v 2M output.webm
How should I do to have same quality of my AVI (or better quality) on my WebM output?
thanks
>>46833737ffmpeg -y -i poop.avi -threads 8 -sn -an -c:v libvpx -b:v 5M -quality best -slices 8 -lag-in-frames 25 -deadline realtime -pass 1 poop.webm
You can adjust the -b:v till you are happy, especially if file size is a secondary concern. You should run this command once more changing -pass 1 to -pass 2. HTH
>>46833794
thanks you
do you know if I can make same things with avconv ?
because it's seems to be very difficult to install real ffmpeg, in debian sid repository it's libav and not ffmpeg
>>46833737
At least with ffmpeg when you use -b:v and -crf the -b:v sets the maximum bitrate. If you just want a high quality vbr encode then set that to something very high and let crf handle the quality.
Are SSDs any good yet? I'm thinking about migrating my OSs to SSD, which ones does /g/ recommend
they're obscenely good

Crucial, Samsung, Intel.
Is this still the best codec pack?

Works for me.

Hey /g/,
I wanted to get into unity engine, but now that unreal is (kind of) free, I dont know if I should do that. I don't have experience with either, and not much programming experience in general. Although I can learn very quickly and I have the time for it. Another thing to mention; I havn't planned on doing anything with those good graphics or something. As i said, just a beginner.
Is unreal a good place to start?
>inb4 fuck off /v/ faggot
>>46831474
go get a book on python or c++ and go from there
You don't need any programming to use unreal, it has it's own system called blueprints.
Doesn't Unreal use some bullshit like "UnrealScript"?
What password manager do you use /g/ ?

I'm looking for a monitor with these specs:
27"
100hz-120hz
1440p
Do you guys have any good lists laying around i could use?
read the sticky pinhead
You can taste mine OP :3
>>46832927
the wiki only had 3 links to external sites that was somewhat usefull, i need more for reference.
>>46832970
It's hard without a larger monitor
Linux. It isn't about what you CAN do with it, it's about what you CAN'T do at a professional level:
Non linear video editing
Audio
Music
Midi
Industrial Design
BIM design
CAD/CAM
Engineering
Machining
Large format output
Graphic Design
Page Layout
Print Production/Pre production
Photography (RAW/non destructive, etc)
Video game development
Smartphone apps (x-platform)
and much, much more.
Basically all the stuff that regular people want from a commercial service.
>>46832799
Most of this is wrong, at least use a search engine before posting shit.
Yes it is very shit
I wonder why it still powers almost all servers and supercomputers out there?
Just how bad is this shit for our bodies?
Aliens must be confused why we are intent on bombarding ourselves with radiation 24/7
>>46834629
Not as bad as burning the earth's supply of fossil fuel in 150 years
>>46834656
not to mention 3G and 4G and all that other shit that hasnt been in the air but for 10 years and we do not know the full effects yet.
why are you still using Windows and not OS X? windows is trash, we all know it, just buy a Mac its not that hard and it will pay itself off in no time
feels good to be part of the master race
brofist OP
because osx won't work on my t400 and macbooks don't have docking ports
plus I could get 5 more thinkpads for the price of 1 refurbished mac
Epic shitpost thread /b/ro.
Enjoying your lack of right click or ability to install programs not in the app store?
