What setting do I need to see the "https://" and sadly still "http://" again in Firefox? I use more protocols now, so I wish to see that again.
>>53829770
i use firefox and i see https:// when the website supports it.
>>53829770
The addon "HTTPS everywhere". Pretty sure there's an option in about:config but I'm too lazy to google it.
>>53829770
Go to about:config
Search for "browser.urlbar.trimURLs"
Set it to false
But like >>53829802 said, I think it already shows https. So maybe I don't understand your issue.
>>53829849
Thank you so much, that was it.
I now also see the https:// by default, kek.

What's up with my iPhone 6s camera? I can see lines running through the preview and the photo when using the back camera, especially when it's dark. When I use flash or it's light, then it's perfect. There is no problem with the front camera.
I dropped it in water few months ago, recently got it fixed and it's fine except that.

So I have this Lenovo Ideapad U510 and decided it'd be perfect for Ubuntu. The problem is that it utilizes UEFI which I am not too familiar with and snooping in search engines yields nothing about my particular problem.
So it had win8.1, I made a bootable Ubuntu live USB and did a clean install (wiping my windows cause I had nothing I wanted to hold on to and dont game a lot). Ubuntu installed no problem, my issue is different. Win8 took like 15 secs max to boot since it utilizes the SSD for boot files. Ubuntu takes 35 secs to boot, does it also utilize the SSD the same way? Should I have done something different since its UEFI?
>>53830183
you can get like 30% more performance by spending less than 10% more up front.
that means you dont have to upgrade again as soon. you're wasting money in the long run by getting a locked cpu.
and have you compared benchmarks on the CPUs to make sure you actually get more performance per dollar by getting the older one?

>>53830580
I don't know what the general cost is so it's hard to say. I'm not broke and make pretty good money.
I probably wouldn't want to spend over $600. Unless there would be a dope reason for me to splurge that makes it seem worth it.
But again I don't know the general cost so I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. Thank you!

does anyone use irfanview thumbnails?
it actually seems like itd be really useful but i don't see an option to open multiple windows for it like file explorer
im sorry but does anyone know what the fuck the purpose of irfanview thumbnails is?
i thought it was an image specific file explorer but there's no way that could have been their intent if there's no option for multiple windows5607

What kinda i/o would you need for that?
You can get LVDS to HDMI/VGA/DVI etc if that's what you're looking for?

You'd probably be better off just getting an old TV from somewhere.
>>53830816
I need everything. I know very little about building pcs. I have a good gaming mouse but that's it.
>>53830968
It would be easier and even cheaper just to get a TV, I was hoping for a hands on experience and make something useful out of something old.

>>53831004
You might want to increase a bit because a decent gaming build is around $850-$1100.
You need a I5 or I5-K.
8-16GB RAM.
A really good Videocard, this will tell you how good your perfomance will be and around 50% of the budget.
A good HSF if you get a K CPU.
A SSD.

err... you're right. He can cheap out on things like case or hard disk though if he doesn't give a fuck about noise or doesn't place it literally right next to him. Maybe an AMD cpu would be fine as well for half the price of an i5. Still, in total it would be about a ~$150 save.

I hear hissing from my speakers when I move my mouse. They are cheap amazon basic ones that are powered through USB. When I power them through my wall outlet, the noise is removed. I've tried all USB ports but nothing fixes it..
What could be causing it? I just built this computer and this is the only problem I've ran into
>>53831283
Get a GA-Z170XP-SLI.
Get a EVGA 650 G1 or GS and save $20 on the PSU.
Alternatively you might want to get a 850 EVO 240GB and a 1TB WD Blue.
SSDs are worth it.
>>53831370

Looks good enough for $500, but not sure if it is worth $500 Used.
Anyway looks good enough, you might want to repaste since QM CPUs get really hot.

I'll take your advice on the mobo though
Why does the RJ-22 jack need a different crimper from the RJ-11/12 jacks? I've compared the two and they look identical other than the amount of contacts. It looks like the same crimper should be able to do both.

Wait until a relative or some such goes to the US and order it from them. You'll save a fuckload of money. Maybe shipping is cheaper (maybe not from amazon). Check your local pc building forums.

I was thinking of a 750 watt PSU but people told me its an overkill, although I may want more fans in the future or something.
Can you dual boot android x86 on a windows tablet?
>>53831781
Shit motherboard.
You can get cheaper RAM.
Make a list with PC Partpicker.
750W is indeed overkill, your build needs a 650W PSU.
Why does Speccy make an HTTP connection to the internet when I open it?
>>53831793
Why is the motherboard shit mate.
Can you explain your reasoning, I'm not very experienced in these stuff.
Also what RAM would you suggest.
>>53831803
Speccy checks for updates every time you open it.
>>53831844
The motherboard is just bad in general.
Look for GA-Z97X-UD3H, ASUS Z97-A, MSI GAMING 5 if you are looking for Z97 motherboards.
Get a I5-4590, and since you are looking for a Z97 motherboard get a unlocked I5 like the 4690K.
PCpartpicker its not shit, helps finding cheap prices, try it on, make a list with your build.
>>53831781
Fans don't consume much. Keep in mind future intel processors and AMD gpus will be stronger and more power efficient. They'll most likely consume less than current gen esp the gpu. 650W should be plenty.
Also why are you going with old hardware? Newer ones cost pretty much the same.
Get an Asus Z170A, an i5-6500, a $60 128gb ssd for games/os, a cheap 5200-5400 rpm 1tb hdd for pictures/videos (go 7200 if you won't get an ssd), the cheapest case you can find with 4 frontal usb ports, cheap ram (8gb=$35), a $50-60 650w tougherpower or EVGA or xfx etc and you're set. Don't update the bios and you can overclock the cpu just fine if it need be. You can bump it up if you have more case i.e. 850 evo, case, ram.
>>53831844
Also take in consideration 1151 socket.
how do i get better syntax highlighting on nano?
>>53831973
A 1151 socket is a better investment because next gen intel will most likely use the same socket so you can upgrade the cpu to an i7 later on and get a nice boost when things become much more reliant on multithreading.
>>53831647
why is it an issue for you to use ctrl + click to select all the files you want to put in a specific directory and click maybe a maximum of three times on the directory tree to find the directory you want and move/cut/paste? maybe you have different standards but that seems pretty simple and easy to me
>>53830568
try a different display and/or cable
>>53831882
I'm not in the US mate, so it seems pretty useless.
About the motherboard an you help me understand why tho? All I see is some extra usb slots with my poor understanding of motherboards.
>>53832012
You either do it it like it's on the nanorc. file and link it to it or download from someone who has one ready. I think there are several ones on the interwebs.
>>53830076
He gave you shit becuase you asked an extremely generalized question about hardware without offering any details.
It's sort of like coming into a thread like this and saying "there's a keyboard at the store, should I buy it?"
I don't fucking know, why don't you provide some actual detail about the display and what purpose it has to serve.
>>53832095
Just a really simple Z97 motherboard.
Just get a H97 or a MSI Z97 PC Mate instead.
Golden rule while building a PC, dont cheap out in your motherboard and your PSU.

if I'm not mistaken there should be an option to restore the previous Windows version in the (new) control panel. Rumour has it that your previous Windows install might be unstable after that, though.
Apart from that your only choices are to bend over for MS or install gentoo
>>53830797
$800 is the magic line where you move from mediocre to high performance. save up more money and you will have a pc that will last several years longer and save money in the long run.
>>53830568
did you do the 3 things i told you earlier?
>>53830624
read twitter FAQ
>>53831124
you can get similar peformance for roughly $800 if you do some tactical skimping and find some nice deals

no shit, plenty of people have no problem with file explorer and would be valid in giving you the same response to what ever problems you have with it
point is irfanview thumbnail is pointless if it just trades in one inconvenience for another, cant have multi window, cant bookmark folders, iffy file selection options
obviously i could manage with these issues if i have to but same said for file explorer
i just expected it be the same standard as their image viewer

4690k OC'd to 4.5ghz or a 6600 for a <$1k gaming pc
>>53832310
>not bait
yeah sure, whatever
maybe spinning them moved the wires a tiny bit and made the connection better, but you were incredibly lucky you didnt permanently ruin them, and you should prepare to buy new ones because they will most likely break again.
you should know better than to mix water and electronics, you dipshit
>>53832340
>missing the point
you've always got a stock cooler with it before and now they charge you extra AND they fucking cheap out and dont even include a stock cooler.
>>53832440
compare benchmarks
also why not unlocked 6600K?

AAAAAAARARRHAHGHGHGHGHG
>>53832470
i haven't been able to find a benchmark comparison for an OC'd 4690k
a 6600k is out of my price range
>>53832287
>haha nope, intel has done that like ONCE in the last 12 years.
Wasn't sure where I was going with the other post. Point is intel might do that, and if they don't then he can just get a cheap i7 that fits his socket a couple of years down the road and maintain a decent pc. Buying like 3-4 year old processors when the differences in price aren't that significant doesn't make much sense to me. Especially if the accompanying motherboards come in cheaper if you compare the price of a high-end z97 mobo to a newer mid-level one like the Asus Z170A with features like an m2 slot at 32gbit/s, can overclock great, ram oc up to he 4000mhz range, better sli/cf support, usb 3.1gen2/usb c, etc.
Is there like a /g/ overclock sticky or general or some shit.
>>53832493
Why exactly do you think a 6600 can't be overclocked?
>>53832443
Well I just figured since they didn't have their own power source that it was fine if they dried before plugging them back in.
I've done the same thing with keyboards that had stuck or double-triggering keys and they've worked fine after being soaked. Just let it dry for 24 hours.
>>53832522
because it's a locked cpu
I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 with a Celeron M 575 (2GHz, 65nm, 31W, Socket P).
Can I upgrade it safely to a Core 2 Duo with a TDP of 35W? Will the extra 4W render it incompatible?
>>53832522
I5-6600 = locked CPU, you cant Overclock it.
I5-6600k = Unlocked CPU, you can.
>>53832260
Asus Vivotab Note 8
>>53832598
iirc that depends on the motherboard and whether or not it has been updated with the appropriate microcode from intel bundled with the bios update. Correct me if I'm wrong.

why is it not ok?
>>53832493
just compare both unclocked...
>>53832507
>Point is intel might do that
no, their history says they wont and there are no rumours or signs that they ever will.
you have a point about the price tho, i'll give you that
but mobos for 6600k are getting cheaper and cheaper and so is DDR4.
>>53832519
a guide? google.
>>53832530
water can get stuck and once you plug them in they go poof. and keyboards are quite sturdy and dont have many small components or nooks and crannies where water can get stuck.
also 24 hours is not nearly enough to be sure it's dry.
put them in a bag of uncooked rice for several days to properly dry.
>>53832768

That's what I said. Just don't update the motherboard? What about plain multipliers?

>why are you ignoring OC'd 6600k?

not to mention i need something that works not only cross browser but cross os, so im looking for a site
thanks though
completely forgot i had malwarebytes installed
do any of you guys actually do regular scans?
I just scanned for the first time in a year and got nothing, so what's the point unless you think you fucked up something
>>53833375
it's pretty hard to get viruses these days. you have to real stupid to get one
>>53833375
it's mostly for retards that doesnt have common sense. i dont remember last time i scanned, but i dont use MBAM active protection, i have a different AV for that, and just use MBAM when i think i got adware.
Is it even worth it to learn Java? Or should I learn a different language?

Finally getting off my awful Verizon contract and I'm looking to not pay out the ass for my next phone
I don't use SMS/Calling, at all. I use whatsapp and a few other chatting apps completely. I've been looking at chink shit phones and also I just stumbled across chatsim, and I'm a bit curious if there are any strings attached. If it works as advertised, this is exactly what I need. But I still don't see how it works. Before I was looking into this, I was just going to go with straight talk.
Here's the site

I'm looking at RAM; the mobo I'm getting supports clocks up to 2133 but the RAM I'm looking at has a max clock of 2400 and latency of 11. Now I know I can underclock the RAM but will that reduce the latency or am I better off getting a 2133 stick set with a lower latency?
>>53833893
I have other cracks that don't pop up, I'm not much of a techie so I don't know what to expect quite frankly
and I don't have the mb premium, just click to scan so it's not a problem
Building my own pc for the first time
Ordered parts where they were cheapest, which ended up just being either newegg or amazon anyway.
I chose the 7 day shipping on newegg and it arrived like hours later.
Amazon hasn't even processed the order and wont ship til the 6th, should i just cancel it and just order the rest of the parts from newegg?

>different cracks are programmed differently
no fucking shit sherlock. and you're dumb if you scan cracks because that will most likely mean you cant use it without downloading again.
also you need to turn off your AV in most cases to use it, and it's not a problem if you download it from a legit source (like MDL forums)
>>53833958
your mobo will underclock it automatically.
it may or may not lower the latency, read the specs on the RAM.
RAM speed/latency make zero difference for gaming and generall office shit, just get the cheapest ones you can and the most GB you can.

MLC is duality (2 bit-cells) when TLC is trinity (3 bit-cells).

Open task manager and check where it is from.

Also Adwcleaner should be able to get rid of it.

I'm not joking.
>>53834461
Read what you install anon, that is just somewhat advanced adware.
>>53834461
try uninstalling it and scanning with your AV and MBAM and see if it disappears
if it's gone, you can double check to see if it really is that "game" by reinstalling it and if it pops up again you can report the game to Valve.
also check the community hub to see if anyone else has that same thing.

the stuff you get with aftermarket cpu coolers is more than enough.

daz loader vs. kmspico, which one is better / safer?

I built mine in my room which has carpet. I did it in my underwear and with a little plastic lid from one of those storage containers under my feet. I just made sure to constantly touch the back of the case before I went and worked on it. You'll be fine.
>>53835683
I prefer Daz Loader when applicable because it's a bit more lightweight and simpler. They're both by the same guy though and KMSpico works for some versions of Windows that Daz doesn't, so I wouldn't worry too much if you have to use it.

I was making a clone of a micro SD to another micro SD. After cloning with dd, for some reason I was wondering "what if the deleted files get copied with the dd" so i ran photorec
And what I found was YES the deleted files did copy over. Is it true that when making clones/disk images that the deleted files that have not been wiped get cloned as well? If so then I could have some fun with this...

next time just say "i don't know" faggot
>>53835867
No, it's the home version that I wanted to upgrade to pro. When I tried running a 8.1 pro version ISO created by windows Media Creator Tool, there was a message said that I "already have windows 8.1 installed" and that I can "add features" to it, but that option made >>53835780 appear as well.

first off your floor is a fucking terrible conductor of electricity unless you for some reason have metal floor.
secondly, it needs to be wired into the ground (yes, the ground under/around your building) with metal.

I would like to be able to physically control multiple channels of audio from my PC. Instead of just having one master control volume knob

Would a Pentium T2310 (dual core, 1.46GHz) be faster than a Celeron 575 (single core, 2GHz) at playing H.264 video?

>>53836087
put the card (without cooler) in the oven and bake it for a couple minutes to reflow the solder and make it work again
>>53836113
i dont think it would be too hard since windows already can control those things itself, you'd just need a program to output it through a port to a controller with knobs and link it somehow. something with USB would probably work best since the audio ports are single channel each.

Can you please confirm or deny this is the case. Thank you.

At least do some research first, PSU quality is very important. Jonnyguru.com is a good resource.
A good quality 500W unit is better than a middling quality 650W unit any day.

haha no. also maybe. you can try, temp is good but it's not everything you need to consider when OCing.
>>53836458
does the mobo have a beeper or display to show the error code?
you only need CPU, onboard video and 1 stick of RAM to boot into bios. remove everything else.
make sure the video cable and monitor is working.
try the GPU in another computer if you can.
does any fans or LEDs turn on when press the power button?
disconnect all cables and make sure you reattach them correctly (there's 2 for the mobo, one big 24pin and the small is labeled ATX)

No beeps, and the display error LED is at 00.
That's what it looks like now I've removed everything else at the moment besides those.
The monitor and video cable are working, I'd taken them from another computer I was previously using.
I sadly have nothing that can fit the GPU, but, it shouldn't need it.
Everything does turn on, I get lights, bells, and whistles on the inside, but, nothing to the monitor.
I've done that twice at this point.
>>53836544
Yeah, it's in.
I think I just had a retard moment though. I think I know the answer already, but, would it matter what side I put the RAM in? Since I defaulted to the right side since it's difficult to get it any closer to the CPU due to just how massive the fan is.
>>53836619
bite the bullet and submit a ticket
>>53836625
that's not too bad. can probably OC a little bit.
>>53836643

nope
> it's difficult to get it any closer to the CPU due to just how massive the fan is.
and this is why i tell people not to buy fucking retard ram with huge heatsinks on them every fucking time i come to this board. i hope you remember this for the next time.
also, either your mobo or cpu is bonkers.

Try making the case @ $3K.
Pretty sure that shit will depreciate faster than a car off the lot the monent you run that thing. But really, nice kek.
>>53836716
00 is just "Not Used" in the manual so I don't think so. Unless it's not using the Mobo which doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, I fucked up. I know I fucked up too when I bought it since I just saw the price it had at the time and thought "wow that's really cheap" and then the parts came together and it was one of those moments where I'd realized I fucked up. It's possible for me to move it over, but, I need to readjust the fan. Which is possible on the fan I bought, just a bit of a hassle.
I mean it's turning on, I am getting power to it and I'm seeing everything turn on, LED, graphics card, HDD is on, etc. So I don't know what the issue could be at this point. I don't think it'd be an issue with the CPU, at least I hope not. It was a HUGE fucking pain in the ass to put that fan on solo.
>>53836771
ignoring the heatsink on the ram, you thought 144 bux for ram was cheap? dude that's full-retard. you paid almost 3 times as much for something that makes zero difference for performance unless you do some heavy database shit.
you tried the onboard video, right?

To be honest dude its the wrong time to build with AMD and Intel releasing new cpu's and gpu's later this year, the component's your debating will drop significantly in price when the new ones hit the market then you can debate components of higher spec with the same budget
how do i learn / get better at c++ (makefile, h cpp, files organization?, ...) without IDE, i wanna know what's happening
So i updated my amd gpu driver the other day and for the first time ever also installed the vulkan shit that came with it, however now my element3d in after effects stopped working completely all of a sudden because of it.
Every time i select one of the 3d models or attempt to load up a project containing said models in the comp timeline it just crashes saying "element 3d has encountered an unrecoverable error"... People are saying it has something to do with openGL support or something.
Should i like try to downgrade my driver to the previous release again? Theoretically it should work again afterwards, right? Because before i updated those drivers the thing worked perfectly and now this fucking error pops up all of a sudden smdh
How do I stop Lubuntu from sleeping my laptop when I close the lid? I've gone through all the settings in "power manager" and turned everything off/down, it still happens. Shit is fucked yo.
>>53837455
It says right there#MOUSE_BTN2 cycle pause # toggle pause on/off
Just replace cycle pause with 'ignore' if you want to make that mouse button useless, like it also says there# Use 'ignore' to unbind a key fully (e.g. 'ctrl+a ignore').
you should really read the file, it's pretty well documented.
>>53837472
>>53837472
Also, this is what it says in the GPU information window, "GPU not available/incompatible driver".
I don't know whether it said that before too since i looked this info up the first time in AE just now because of this problem but since ele3d worked before too i assume it didn't. Basically the new driver seemed to have fucked the GPU recognition up in my AE config or something i think

why do you have 2 types of SSD?
>>53837403
they're just monitors. there are ultra-wide monitors without curve but i think there could be issues with the viewing angle on those and that's where the curve would be better i think.
that said, some ultrawide and some of the first curved screens are just 2-3 monitors edge-to-edge (without middle bezel) and you could sometimes see the edge with your naked eye, so make sure that's not happening on the one you're looking at

Go with the one that has the larger community unless your into loading custom ROMs, only reason I say this is because if your going to stick with the manufactures software regardless of spec a buggy os is much more irritating than the joy of performance gain, a larger community is more likely to complain and drive the manufacturer to fix the issues leading to a better functioning device, hope this helps man sorry if it doesn't make sense I'm stoned as fuck

>>53837656
yes.. i got other commands working but not the keybinds
>>53837684
>i got other commands
What do you mean, which commands?
I'm unsure where the config file should be stored in windows, it probably doesn't work because mpv is trying to read it from~/.config/mpv/input.confand that's a linux path.

Okay so now i found the previous crimson release from december on amd's site... Should i merely uninstall the catalyst thing or do i have to use some third party driver wiper too get rid of eventual remnants too? The thing is my cpu is amd aswell so i don't want to accidentally delete chipset shit or something like that
Also i have that rollback option for the gpu driver available in device manager too, is that one more reliable than manually uninstalling/downgrading the display driver?
How do I get past this on the Windows 10 store? It happens anytime I try to download.

special M.2 slot on the mobo. not all mobos have this.
you're better off just buying two regular SATA drives. m2 is overpriced as fuck and isnt really much better.

>m2 is overpriced as fuck and isnt really much better.
Okay, I was told that NVME had significantly higher transfer rates. Because I'm retarded, I didn't check the mobo for NVME support.
I assume I'll need to purchase 3x sata cables, and some thermal paste still?
>>53837819
Does it work now?
>>53837957
you get a few sata cables with the mobo (usually 4), and you get thermal paste with any aftermarket cooler (and it comes pre-applied on stock coolers)

Check your internet connection
>>53838105
No see, that's what gets me. Clearly my internet works, clearly the store can access the internet as they allow me to search and clicking on free items notifies me that I now own them.
I'm getting below room temperature's when my CPU idles, or is under an extremely light work load for it like video playback. It's on a stock cooler. Should I just overclock it? it's an fx 8350.
The below room temps have actually caused the system to reboot itself a few times. It's never happened when temps were above say, 40c, usually when playing a video game.
Yesterday, Netflix worked fine. Last night, it would just load indefinitely. Today, same thing, indefinitely loading. Nothing has changed, nothing has updated. Any ideas where I can start troubleshooting?
>>53838189
Works on my machine™. Try updating all of your software. it could also be that your internet connection is shit.
>>53838167
that makes no sense. it should not do that unless it's near zero (below 10) and it should not be able to dip that low unless you put the computer in the fridge.
what temp exactly are you getting on idle?
>>53838189
reset your modem then call your ISP
>>53838101
seems good. just the case bugs me cus it looks meh. check out some others
>>53838233
>>53838257
Tried turning off modem/router for a few minutes and then turning them back on. Internet is flawless in every other aspect, unless it's somehow just my connection to Netflix. How would I diagnose that if that's the case? All of my software is up-to-date.
>>53838257
Idle temps can be as low as 19c. Room is about 22c. I'm fairly certain it's causing condensation to form.
>>53838055
So what now?
>>53838302
hmm, I dunno, this is different. damn it. Cause my gmail voice never needed a spare. that was the whole point of getting a Gvoice
>>53838285
I should also point out that the only way I can get my system from restarting itself if I'm doing light workload like youtube binging - is to periodically run Witcher 3 in the background to "cook" the cpu and gpu a bit. If I do this - the system never crashes. If I don't - after about 20 minutes I get a random restart.
>>53838272
call your ISP and ask for traceroute instructions
>>53838285
nope, not high enough temp difference. and that temp should not cause issues.
and you can easily check if that's the case by putting a piece of toilet paper under the heatsink
also if that is the core temp, it's the inside of the CPU, it's impossible for condensation to occur in there.
try turning off the thing that lowers the cpu speed when idle. might be that the clock speed gets too low and cause an error

Can CMOS batteries go bad within 2 years? Time time on my computer isn't holding even after multiple Internet time syncs.
>>53840078
I mean, it's POSSIBLE, sure. Take it out and lick it, such that your tongue connects both sides. If you don't feel anything, it's dead. I've never seen a CMOS battery that isn't a CR2032, which is just a 3v button cell, so assuming it's not covered in corrosion(In which case, yeah, it's dead), it's safe. Fix your BIOS settings afterwards, that battery is usually what saves them.
>>53840120
Well I think its some kind of BIOS/Motherboard issue since the time in BIOS also gets changed and nothing within Windows should be able to change that, right?
>>53840152
You can flash your BIOS from within Windows, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to change the clock, but I'm not really sure.
>>53837472
Wew, so i finally got both the old drivers and element 3d running again now. What happened basically was that i accidentally uninstalled the 16.0-something crimson driver aka the newest one with the installer from the 15.0 version which i had downloaded already at that point, lawl
Needless to say this resulted in a veritable clusterfuck of falsely attributed file paths and truckloads of error messages of all kinds and when i finally figured out what the actual fuck was going on i thrashed the whole fucking thing in the device manager (even as the vga controller kept trying to re-install itself constantly after every reboot) and then just started anew with the 15.0 crimson drivers, which worked out in the end despite my oldass HDD almost dying from the stress and me having to readjust the ICM profiles afterwards aswell
Then when i loaded up AE again for the first time after the downgrade it just twitched around violently for a few seconds (it only did this once though, kinda like an adjustment or something) and i was extremely delighted to find out that ele3D and everything else was working fine again now. I think for the time being this was the last GPU driver update i've done on this machine lel
Recently, at some random point in time for reasons I can't comprehend, H264 just stopped working on my computer.
I use VideoPad for editing and lately everything I try to export fails right off the bat if I try to use H264 as my encoder.
This was never a problem before and I don't know what could have changed on my computer to make it stop working. A lot of stuff seemed to suddenly start working wrong or stop working altogether semi-recently for reasons unknown, which is scary enough, but this is one of the most annoying things.
Is there an easy way to fix this?
