Anybody has a movie reccomendation ?
so, is there a point in buying current gen stuff? my 2500k and 290 are completely fine, but I still want to upgrade. but I know that with Polaris/Pascal coming out, getting a current gen GPU is silly. same with DDR4, so a new 4690k is a no go
or am I retard?
I want to start a private torrent community with me and a few friends to exchange...um..."Linux ISOs". Yeah.
I don't want to run a tracker, so I want to encrypt the files so only those in the group can access them, and using DHT+PEX to to find peers.
I'm planning on using 7z files (AES encryption with no compression) with a 20+ character key only the three of us know. I would use GPG but they're not extremely techy.
Would this setup work?
On a related note, do any major operating systems support .zips with AES encryption instead of ZipCrypto?
What's the best VM on Windows? I don't care about paying for it.

So, I downloaded a GOG game from KickassTorrents to try it out and I ran the .exe with Wine. I liked the game and decided to buy it on Steam so I uninstalled the GOG version. Could my computer have been infected by that?

How can I get WebMCam to encode and output h264 mp4 instead of a webm?
>>54247689
>WebMCam
>not record webm
You could just convert it after. The whole point is to be basically LICEcap for webm, so I don't think you can.
Is there any reason for me to get a soundcard?
>>54247723
Not really. 99% of on-board sound chips are good. Are you doing audio processing?

Putting away 400$ CDN for a Mobo+CPU. I want to upgrade to an i5. I don't do anything crazy on the computer, just play games, so I don't think the i7 is necessary.
Is there any neat things I should look out for with Motherboards? I understand I'll need to get something with similar ports that my RAM/GPU use, but any cool lesser-known things to look for in a MOBO?
>>54247733
No I do not, are soundcards really something just more for a DJ or music producer or some shit?
>>54247849
Yes, in the sense that they may want to output different sounds to different sets of speakers/headphones. Or use 192khz 48-bit sampling / whatever ridiculous formats there are.
How come she was perfectly fine giving the coordinates in a normal way the first two times, but suddenly the third time she had to do it with some dodgy "we must exchange bodily fluids" method?
>>54247928
>Or use 192khz 48-bit sampling / whatever ridiculous formats there are.
My Realtek onboard laptop sound does 192 kHz 48 bit. So does the old SoundBlaster MP3+ external sound card I got a decade ago because laptops almost never have stereo line in.
But yeah, if your onboard sound sound crappy or lacks enough jacks for what you want, get a sound card. Otherwise don't bother.
So those of you that dick around with old machines, where do you get them? I was gonna get a Pentium or PPro or P2 or something to run Win95 on, play some old games, maybe see if any modern Linux would still run on it for shits and giggles. Check Craigslist for my (decently large) city, don't find anything older than a P4. Almost everything is C2D and newer. People on ebay are either just yelling about how it's "VINTAGE LQQK" and asking $200 for a mobo, or they're selling big piles of CPUs for gold scrap.
Where can I find a comfy old machine?
>>54248158
There's a recycling company near me that sells what they can refurb. They mostly have 2006-2010 era Pentiums, but there's the occasional oldie. Last time I was there they had a Tandy 2000 for sale, and people had dropped off some dead Macs from the late 80s.
See what you can find.
What the fuck is wrong with my RAM?
I got a Corsair 8GB DDR4 2400MHz and my BIOS is showing 2133 MHz but Speccy is not even showing that number
I have here a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system, and I still don't know how to make Deluge work. What is all this bullshit about thin-client? Do I need to connect to another computer to use this crap??? Can't I just open and connect to trackers, and torrent normally?
Pale Moon seems to be struggling on 4chan lately, is it just for me or is this a known thing?
>>54248256
I've never used ubuntu, but on debian you just apt-get install deluge and start it from the menu.
what you might be confused about is that deluge does a client-server thing. The interface connects to a daemon that actually does all the torrenting. I used to have a seedbox and I could run deluge on my desktop and give it the IP of the server and a login, and it'd display all the torrents on my seedbox. But unless you set that up in the options it just runs a copy of the daemon locally when it starts up and works like a normal torrent client.

I have a JPEG file that is over 80 megabytes. I need it to be 50 or slightly lower. What's the best way to compress it? Just resize the image in GIMP until I get to the right file size?
>>54248287
I installed Deluge by using the GNOME Software Center.
When I try to open the normal client, not the thin client, it gives me a fucked error about not having "deluged" and "libtorrent". WTF?

How the fuck do people make high quality Webms so small in file size?
Ive been screen capturing live sports to cut up and make webms with. When I have a medium quality stream, or a high quality stream It seems I cant find a good balance between file size and quality.
Is there any tips?
>>54248399
sounds like the GNOME software center couldn't be bothered to resolve dependencies. Tell the software center to remove it and install it from the command line. That's a good thing to do in general, actually.

I dont really love camtasia but I couldnt get CamStudio to work very well and Snaggit was dog shit.

is there a greasemonkey script to hide shit threads /g/ / 4chan?
>>54248609
>magnet links... There isn't a way to preview which files exist in the torrent before adding?
I don't believe so. A magnet link is like an index card that lets you find a book... you have to go look up the book to look at the table of contents. There isn't as much information in a magnet link as a torrent file, it's just a pointer to where to find it.
>>54248671
Yeah, but uTorrent loaded the file list as soon as it received the magnet!
>>54248685
It's probably just aggressive about following where the magnet link leads and fetching that information as soon as you add a magnet link. Deluge doesn't connect to anything until you tell it to start the torrent.
Have a server machine with a license on it that says 'windows svr std 2003 r2 1-4cpu 5clt'. Tried installing both windows server 2003 standard and enterprise but in setup it won't accept either key, if I find (torrent) an 'r2' copy will it work or am I gonna get the same crap? Is there a specific 'r2 1-4cpu 5clt' version or is that last bit of stuff only dependent on the key and not version?

Why is it so hard to find proper win 7 torrent? I'm thinking about going 8.1 just because I can't find trustworthy 7.

>>54248799
a.) I didn't say it was good or bad, I said one program does X and another one does Y.
b.) actually yes, I like the idea that my computer doesn't connect to the swarm at all until I tell it to. If you don't the default is to start the torrent immediately.
>>54248836
>I like the idea that my computer doesn't connect to the swarm at all until I tell it to
When you click the magnet link, you are telling the client to connect.

Does anybody here know why I get this message when I try to fill out the exchange on microsoft's website?
"Customer Email and Phone doesnot exist."
>>54248880
That's what it does if you leave the default setting of "start torrents when they're added" on. If you don't want torrents to start when you add them, then it won't contact the swarm and you won't see your file list.

Before I run GWX control panel, I'd like to know: Can I "Upgrade" to Win10, create a recovery/boot disk of the ISO, then call Microsoft to downgrade to Win 8.1?

linux users install antivirus? i need to know, it's serious
So to begin with im retarded with phones.
I used to have like 12k hand picked porn/hentai pictures, my phone bricked and i lost it all.
I now have a LG G3 with a micro SD card. What i want to do is download pictures on my phone and move them onto my SD card because it has more space of course. I can move them with the default file manager but it wont let me view them with the default gallery and wont let me move them at all with 3rd party apps. Ive never rooted a phone before but i think ill have to, to do what i what to be able to do.
For a first time retard, how do i root a phone and how do i get around the eariler mentioned problem?
Literally any help would be greatly appreciated because I miss collecting my hentai.
>>54249478
Try looking around the gallery/install quickpic, see if that helps before going all the way to root anon

from "a bit harder" to "really hard shit":

>>54249652
Technically yes, since any distro can do anything any other distro can.
Practically, no, because different distros have different styles of doing things and that anon apparently wants to experience some of them. Different distros make different things easy and different things difficult, and maybe he's looking to do different stuff now than the things Mint and Ubuntu try to be good at.

Replying to this on a whim because I'm a faggot. Pirates of Silicon Valley is one of my all-time favorite /g/-core movies. I'd recommend most anyone to watch it.
>>54249511
I have been using quickpic, and it was causing half the problems lmao but it's my favourite. I did find a work around though; download pictures into my phone, rename, sort, edit them there, Then using default file manager move them to SD, and then had to hide them in default gallery, then I could hide them in quickpic, and then view them in quickpic. such a fucking hassle but worth it I guess
>>54249544
and yes I do have a problem
>>54249790
I'll definitely check it out.
Thanks!
When you're using a foreign loanword in an otherwise English sentence are you meant to try to pronounce it close to how it actually sounds in that language, or modify its pronunciation so it "fits" better with the English words surrounding it?
I always feel hella awkward if I try to pronounce it "properly" even if I know I'm doing it wrong. For example stuff like guillotine, croissant, faux pas.
>>54249856
Varies depending on the word. Some keep their original pronunciation, some don't.
My wireless connection keeps disconnecting after eight in the evening. I have a strong feeling that it's the increasing amounts of open connections in the building that's causing interference.
I am not a clever man in this area.
>>54249881
Switch to a different radio channel in your wireless router.
also when asking a question you should remember to actually ask a question instead of just making three statements.
When you're using Microsoft phone activation and they ask you "how many devices have you used this key on" it's best to just say one, right?
What happens if you put a number more than 1? Will they flag your key so you won't be able to use it anymore? Been using the same W8 and Office 2013 keys for ages (both that I got through my university's technet or whatever it's called) on various devices and just phone activating them when the complain.
I have a GTX 980Ti and a 6700K on a Gigabyte UD5 TH. I want to run 6 monitors and use Oculus Rift. I'm thinking of putting one 1440p 144Hz monitor, two 1080p 60Hz monitors, and the Oculus Rift on the 980Ti. The other three monitors on the CPU integrated graphics would be 1080p and 60Hz. Two of the integrated graphics powered monitors would duplicates. Can I pull this off?

>>54250179
>Two of the integrated graphics powered monitors would duplicates.
To clarify, I mean that I would have three monitors total, two of which are displaying identical screens, with one independent. Not three separate screens with two of them being duplicated.
Should I wait for the new Nvidia cards to be released, or should I just buy a used 980?
>>54250179
>nvidiots forced to jump through hoops to use more than four monitors
Should have bought AMD.
I had to replace the I/o panel on my desktop. I've never replaced whole parts on my computer except for some hard drive. When the part comes in and I hook it all up should I expect something surprising on the bios or will it boot like normal?
What's the difference between phone arena and gsmarena? Their blatant similarity makes me feel like there's one I'm supposed to be using.
I want to download the entirety of a board (guess which) and save it on my hard drive. What's the script I have to use?
How do I make my linux look riced? Or am i just falling for a bad scheme?
>>54250179
There's no way you can do it. Only two HDMI ports on the mobo and the Rift counts as two displays. Either cut one monitor or get a cheap AMD card and using it to host monitors, if you have the means.

thats a pretty easy script to make. If you want just the images however, you could easily modify dta to do this. Otherwise you just need a script to fetch the catalogue and opens all the links, then save it from there.

all it does is jump start really, you can do it with a paper clip. nothing odd should happen.

what? just make a live usb? what os are you using and what mounting software?
What are some of the top laptop manufacturers I should look at?
Want something thin, portable power adapter, battery life that isn't shit, for work.
Also what CPUs should I look at if I want to play a game of dota 2 on the road with integrated graphics?
Does it make any difference if you film/take pics in 4k on a 6s? I mean it's display is barely 1080p.
Some anon enlighten me I feel like a walking brick
>>54250670
lenovo, but only the older ones and the new ones that actually have buttons.
SNSV is always reccomended. HP has actuaslly stepped up their game recently but they still are meh. microsoft are alright but the touchcreen is as always just that bit off.
if you want something like that an ultra book would be good. What do you consider a portable power adapter though? if its honestly for work a 300 dollar latop would be fine depending on the work, but you probs want an ultrabook.
Cpu for dota is something like an apu since it has good on board graphics. If you have some wierd hate for amd, an i5 with an nvidia 920 (gpu) might be alright. But as long as you have it on low an apu can run it.
Dont forget s mouse though, trackpad gaming is murdur
>>54250652
I did make a live USB. You severely underestimate how long i've been trying to solve this problem. It doesn't help... It's the same outcome. After creating a partition table and going to install it always fails to mount. Even if it doesn't tell you it still freezes when it starts to install. I know. I left it on for multiple days once. I've tried it with old hard drives and brand new hard drives with different boot mediums and even different distros, but I need a debian derivative for what I want to use it for... It has something to do with the hardware. I've learned that much. It's also happened to alot of other people in the past.
I can't afford to just buy a new motherboard and fucking take my whole rig apart just to install linux.

not every screen is 1080p. Most high end stuff is at 4 /5k now.

You get a better file to be viewed on a different display and can zoom in further.
Ay lads would a i3 6100 be good for playing grand strategy and total war games or should I spend more dosh to get an i5-6600?
>>54250709
what are you using to make the live usb? are you sure your mobo can boot properly from it? it could be the zipdisk itself is faulty.
try a cd if you must.
otherwise just roll with windows i guess
>>54250714
>>54250719
I was taking about viewing then on the phone itself. Well I kinda thought zooming was the only advantage
>>54250709
just go windows 8.1 famalam, it's the best windows os and isn't even half bad.
>>54250727
>what are you using to make the live usb?
Everything....
>are you sure your mobo can boot properly from it?
It has to be. I took everything else out of my computer except the processor and still got the same result.
>it could be the zipdisk itself is faulty.
Who says zipdisk?
>try a cd if you must.
I've gone through a whole 25 pack of cds.
>otherwise just roll with windows i guess
Not an option.
public static boolean NumberCheck(String s) {
for (int i = 0; i <= s.length(); ++i) {
if (!Character.isDigit(s.charAt(i))) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
So say I'm using this method to check if a string has only digits. I enter "12e" and this method sends false, all is good. But then I enter "1444" and I suddenly get a "string out of bounds" error.
But if I do...public static boolean NumberCheck(String s) {
for (int i = 0; i <= s.length(); ++i) {
if (!Character.isDigit(s.charAt(i))) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
return true;
}
Suddenly there's no problem. No errors if I input only numbers. It returns true like it should. But why do I need to put it in the for loop? If I don't put any return statement outside of it, the method gives me an error on the return statements. I don't want to have two return true statements as that looks silly, and I thought this would work regardless.
>>54250733
it is? its mainly for future proofing. 8k seems like its around the point where nothing will matter anymore, especially for pixel density that the eye can see for small screens. So 4k video futureproofs a little for when 4k is the norm on phone screens.
>>54250757
again, try a different usb. Try a different distro, im pretty sure they dont all have the same installer.
if this is actually neccesary to use linux, you could just compile yourself. Its pretty fun (not)
>>54250823
In the second snippet of code you aren't actually checking the whole string, you only check the first character. If it's not a digit you return false, else you return true. Both side of the if return from the function and the remainder of the for loop never executes as a result.
your first snippet of code should work if you replace the <= with a <. The characters in a string are string[0], string[1] ... string[len - 1], and using <= checks from string[0] to string[len]. Hence the out-of-bounds.
>>54250707
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I think ultrabook will be the way to go, I'd rather invest 1k into something I will actually enjoy a good computing experience on.
By portable adapter I mean something that isn't a brick and doesn't weight 4lbs. I haven't owned a laptop in a while, but my last one had a fucked adapter due to me falling for the portable GPU meme.
I really don't want a touch screen at all, would rather pay for a nice matte screen than a feature I wouldn't use at all.
I will definitely look into your brand recommendations with an i5. I don't hate AMD but all my desktops I've always went Intel for, so I will probably keep my blind brand allegiance.
Mostly worried about picking some shit build quality. I want a nice screen and a nice keyboard. Will bring a gayman mouse with me for the vidya but will use the laptops keyboard.
I will be using this while abroad several.months so while its a work computer, it'll be my main computer for a while so I want to make sure its relatively powerful and has good build quality.
>>54250866
>try a different usb.
Nigga you don't understand how many fucking USBs I've already gone through! I've created more boot media than most people will in their entire lives.

It has to be debain based.
is it bad for the laptop/battery if you remove the battery regularly? new laptop + battery doesn't fit in the bag
Is it true that if you work for Valve you can play any Steam game for free?
>>54250940
I think that there was some kind of special "subscription" available for Valve employees (not sure if it was for all employees or only for some) that gave access to a lot of games, but I don't think it was all of them and I don't know that it exists anymore.
Legally it can be kind of murky just giving people carte blanche access to every game in the library, since Steam doesn't actually own those games, they are just a distribution platform, so they need permission to just give copies away.
>>54250525
For the record, how would that script be made?
>>54250875
Ah, that makes perfect sense. I didn't realize that. Thanks anon!
>>54250900
i should have also added, dell xps actually have nice screens and the build quality is max-esque. But personally i find they leave you dissapointed a little.
>>54250976
dw man, i know where youre coming from. First you need to learn a scripting language, perhaps .lua. then you just write a script to do those things.
or you could take a program like "4chan downloader" and modify it so that you choose a board and then it fetches all the threads and then runs an instance of itself for each thread.
Its most likely something like this exsists but teach a fish to man or soemthing
What the fuck is this bullshit?
>>54247473
I'm gonna say you should wait.
>>54251070
Yeah dell, lenovo, Asus seem to be the brands that are offering what I want in my price range.
I5, ssd, 8 gigs of ram. Most of the offerings have the Intel 520 integrated graphics I'll have to look into how a few graphics options perform, but like dota 2 isn't too graphically intensive and as long as that runs 60fps on med-low settings its fine, anything else I play are older isometric RPGs or indie stuff.
I guess it will come down to research on screen quality, and seeing if I can find a deal. I have about a month to purchase one.

Is it illegal for two straight guys to get married purely for tax or benefits purposes?
>>54252080
Why would it be?
>>54252084
Taxman might not like it
>>54252080
Well, keep in mind that for a common law marriage to be valid, it must be consummated, in other words the two straight men must have penetrative sex at least once and be able to demonstrate proof that they have done so if requested by an auditor. Failure to produce said proof is grounds for an immediate annulment, as well as stiff penalties for all involved.
>>54252112
Seriously? It's the law from which retarded country? US?
>>54252125
Yeah, I'm in the US but I know I had an auditor ask for the sheets from my wedding night at one point to prove that my wife and I had consummated our marriage properly. I imagine gay men would need to do the same, or provide some other form of proof.
Why do people say "overclock X" or "overclocking Y" when there's no clocks?
>>54252163
That's just how language is. It's not uncommon for words to be used analogously even when their original meaning doesn't make any sense. For example why say that you were fishing through your drawers to find something when there aren't any actual fish in there? It's the same kind of thing.
>>54252146
Why not fuck in front of the jury to show them how ridiculous it is? You don't respect private life in US?
>>54252197
In circuits a clock is a signal that turns on and off. The clock speed of a CPU is how many times it cycles per second. Usually this is kept below a certain level so the CPU doesn't overheat but you can speed the clock up and bring it over what it's meant to be.
>>54252259
Nah, in the US having an unreasonable desire for privacy usually is interpreted as meaning you either have done something wrong or you are ashamed for some reason, either way it's not really encouraged. If you have nothing to hide then you have no need of privacy.
>>54252275
Yes, but that is only the original meaning of the term. Since overclocking gained popularity it has also begun to refer more generally to configuring electronics to operate above their factory specs. A "clock" isn't really required in that sense. Of course, context is also important here, it's understood that you mean a different thing when you say you are overclocking your CPU than if I said I was overclocking my toilet.
Can someone recommend me a VT-d supported LGA 1150 motherboard for i7-4790k? I just found out that the 4790k supports it. I don't plan on overclocking since I feel 4.0GHz w/ 4.4 turbo boost stock is sufficient enough that I don't need to play with overclocking so much.
>>54252281
So it is normal to fuck in public?
>>54252315
Only if you are both getting paid to do so. If you are actually enjoying yourselves then it's generally illegal.
>>54252331
So you say that it's better to hide coitus? I thought that we should have nothing to hide. I don't understand.
>>54252346
Well there is a difference between normal social discourse and actions which disturb and outrage the public decency.
>>54252353
But why do we have to prove the existence of action that outrage the public?
>>54252298
The way you make something operate above it's factory specs is upping the frequency of the clocks in it's processors. Anything else would be called modding.
>>54252377
The public has no interest in your copulation, though. The taxman has interest if it means you are cheating him.
>>54252306
Any Q87 motherboard will do the trick, if you want something newer then you get some specific Z97 models since Q97 doesn't exist. Such as the ASRock Z97 Extreme6

Is there a way to get ffprobe to report the actual video stream bitrates? Whenever I use it it just reports the total bitrate of the file and the audio stream bitrates.
>>54253020
You set mpv as the default video player and double click on the file you want to play. mpv has no GUI nor does it need one.
Alternatively you can type 'mpv /path/to/video/a.mkv' into terminal.

This is happening with multiple books (though they are in the same series, so probably made by the same person)...any ideas? Are they simply corrupt or is it possible there's a problem on my end?

No contract. It's a relatively inexpensive phone (<=$200) with much better specs than my current phone. Online reviews are almost universally positive as well, but I wanted /g/'s inside scoop™

What's a normal operating temperature for a TFT monitor? I've just noticed that panel gets really hot (as in, I can't keep my finger on it) in a few areas, mostly on the top. It didn't happen before with this monitor and doesn't happen at all with a new one. It doesn't seem to affect the image in any way but I'm wondering if I should do anything about it. Monitor is pretty old, I had it for 10 years I think.
