Shameless samefag of my question since I posted it in a thread that's about to die.

What do when apache be a dirty nigger and spread it's seed everywhere, hogging memory?

I want to have a small dedicated device for torrenting, and to be able to network the movies and music to my laptop, desktop PC, and to my TV with a roku or smart bluray player.

What is the best way to do this well without spending a fortune?

Also is there like a linux distro that would be great for this?
I cant imagine windows would be a good option for it.

Why does this image makes me feel hungry?

Some flavor or single board computer, preferably with a gigabit interface
Debian or Fedora

This is from the German Amazon

I'm in the UK, will I be able to install W10 in English (UK) when I put the USB in to install it?

install nginx instead.

The rest are fine though, and I tried fixing/replacing this one twice. Will I be fine?

It'll be fine user.

Is Comodo Firewall a decent first line of defense for a Windows 7 machine?

my seagate ST3000DM001 just failed. apparently it's like the least reliable harddrive in existence... at least i didn't lose any data besides the porn i had on it, most of which i can probably redownload

are there any decent 3+ TB drives that are reliable that i should be looking at as a replacement?

What router should I get? Should I spring for MIMO/MU-MIMO?

> apparently it's like the least reliable harddrive in existence

Well it was a seagate afterall

You from limerick op?

Failure to differentiate routers and access points

Yeah lad, was wondering if someone knew the source.

>Handbrake
I'm having trouble getting it to pick up subtitles. What do?

5820k or 6700k?

>DCuck shoes
>box full of junk
>look at me guyse brekfats :D:D:D:D

Nope. I need a router.

6700k unless you're primarily doing movie editing or something

I wouldn´t even know how to describe what is happening here it´s as if the compiler just ignores some parts of my code and the debugger plain jumps over it.
And i don´t get why or what is happening to it restarting my pc fixed "width"
but "item.Size.Height" still doesn´t work leading to the height be 120.
The code works perfectly fine on another computer so i doubt it´s the reason for this.
I guess that´s what i deserve for using microshit products.
Does anyone here have a clue what this could be?

What are you trying to do? Transcode a mkv/mp4 with softsubs? Encode a DVD with VOBsubs?

Just trying to re encode a show that's 50gb for 20 episodes to something more reasonable.

Doesn't have to be through handbrake but I haven't really done this before.

Well, you can do the encoding with Handbrake and then mux in the subs with mkvtoolnix GUI.

I pinged my router from my android phone while standing right next to it and got an average latency of 18ms.

Shouldn't the latency well and truly be in the single digits at such close range or hell even multiple meters away?

Something wrong with my router?

it´s not unlikely that your phone is just shit
could be your router too
but the inherit problem there is wlan which not rarely is shit on phones

I'm starting my first build, definitely a gaming build. The only part I have right now is the case, a CM Storm Trooper.

My funds aren't titanic and I don't have a whole lot of time, so I'd like to minimize necessary expenses. Would it be better to try and find a "cheap" (at or near Founder's price) 1070? Or go for a 980 Ti and upgrade later?

What do you guys use to force log into a Windows 8.1 laptop that you forgot the password to? Just recently re-imaged it a few months ago, it was originally an Windows 8, then did all the slow painful updates/troubleshooting to get 8.1 to install. But forgot the password and didn't make any recovery password disks. I can't access the command prompt from doing the Shift+Restart trick without logging in to a User account first. But I can't log into that user account until I've changed the password with an Administrator so I'm sol.

Any non-shady/non-malware methods to force it open and do a quick password change? Or am I looking at reinstalling 8.0?

Is there any point in jail breaking an Apple TV 2? I know these things used to be godly to jailbreak and use as media devices, but is it still worth it?

What can I do?

>My funds aren't titanic
If you can afford a 1070, you should probably wait at least one more month to see if the new cards that are coming out are any good. Supposedly AMD's new card will be able to run at 980 TI speed at 970 price, but I'm sure AMD shills are just exaggerating. Wouldn't hurt to wait at least 7 or 8 more days until the real benchmark tests are out.

Is there a way to torrent on university internet without being detected?

Download to a seedbox and stream your files through plex.

There isn't even any point in owning one.

I'm wanting a 1070 because I could afford a 1080 but it seems like a needless amount of power for now. And I really just do not want an AMD card.

A 980 Ti would obviously be sufficient for anything I can do right now, but 1070 would last me for a long time. It's really just between the two and the prices on the 1070 right now are hardcore jewry.

Something, such a technology or idea, about wireless communications that is still yet not common and I could ramble about ~20 minutes.
Need to make a presentation but most of the topics I remember are already picked.
>IoT
>Sensor Networks
>...

Do you think there's 20 minutes of content on Software Defined Networks limiting to wireless networks?

Then what?

what cpu are you going with?

I'm trying to make a single image video with audio through ffmpeg.

For some reason, no matter what I do, it changes the bps to 8.

eg. [Mjpeg @ ...] Changing bps to 8

Can't figure it out, here's an example what I've got:

ffmpeg -loop 1 -f image2 -i yourImage.png -i audiofile.wav -shortest -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 192k out.mp4

Shiny metal drink coaster.

How can I change this line:
var shader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);


so that VERTEX_SHADER isn't hardcoded in and it instead uses shaderType, which is a variable found using shaderScript.type ?
The problem I think is that since the type is a string, gl.shaderType is the same as saying gl."VERTEX_SHADER" which doesn't make sense.

This is Javascript by the way.

FFFFFFFFFFF

What do I use instead of Apple tv

Lubuntu or Xubuntu for this laptop?

Try using kodi to stream to your devices. Won't work on roku but will work with other computers.

i7 6700k is what I've got my eyes on. I'm not the most well-versed or experienced in this kind of thing though. Obviously.

gl[shaderType] ?

It works!
Still leaves me with a weird bug to do with the program not being linked, but that's unrelated I think.

Which will be more likely to get me a job? C#/.net and SQL or Java and SQL?

for me it's all or nothing, a gtx 1070 is definitely preferable to a 980 ti, if you want to minimize your expenses you should still get the gtx 1070 and maybe skimp a bit on the cpu and other things, the graphics card is the most important for gaming

Why everyone hate the Windows?

windows is the best, it's just a Sup Forums neckbeard meme to prefer linux or fag meme to prefer max

>max
mac

I know a 1070 is better, but I'm short on time. A 980 Ti can handle almost anything out right now at 60 1080p, can't it?

Slavshits gtfo

java and SQL

pajeet please.

Breakfast? I eat plenty of shit but what kind of breakfast is that? I'm getting a small heart attack from it

Usual american breakfast.

That is very clearly a British breakfast.

>fries
>weird ham instead of proper bacon
>only one fried egg
>no scrambled eggs
>pizza carton
>implying

and
>popcorn

gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_362846.html

Worth it?

for what purpose

That's what British bacon looks like. Americans generally don't eat tomatoes and beans with breakfast.

>British bacon
got damn good thing i'm not bri'ish

Is Youtube down for everyone?

yes

>beans
>tomatoes
>black pudding
>thick bacon
It's at least an imitation of a British breakfast.

Most just to play around with and see if I want to get more invested.
Ultimately I want to race them and get FPV shit.

Wow. Never seen that happen. Wondering what's going on there.

American bacon:
Fat, more fat, tastes of grease and liquid smoke seasoning injected into the meat

British bacon:
Meaty, textured, actual taste of bacon comes through

will this be enough for daily use?

>tfw front jacks broken

Just fuck my shit up :^^)

Nope, Australian.

forgot pic lol

It's probably because your ping is like 2 hours. Just wait for a bit.

works now, got 500 internal server error before

it is.
500 Internal Server Error

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them)

Yeah it's back up for me too
disregard

probably not if you care about sound quality at all

Nice meme

using shit tier motherboard, i do but idk how much.

can use something like this if it is worse than shit mb sound??

shit motherboard sound would probably still be better than that thing, yeah you could use a cable instead

otherwise if you want good sound you're looking at $100+ DACs and $100+ headphones/IEMs

Na, I'm fine with mediocre. Thank you!

Can Sumatra PDF edit text in PDF files?

How do i remove badges from my old pc case? like this kind of badges. my austism cant handle it.

why the FUCK do people make 3.5mm extensions that swap the channels

what cord do i need to connect 2.5" hdd to my pc?

Same as 3.5" drive. There may be a little adapter thing on it you'll need to remove to reveal the SATA connections.

ok, so aside from sata cable the power cable should fit the 2.5" right?

I'm looking to upgrade my GTX 550 Ti to a 4GB GTX 970. My case is 17.5 cm wide, 41.2 cm deep and 41.5 cm high, power supply of 460 watt of which 330 watt is being used, 116 of which my old gfx card is. Will this GTX 970 fit my pc? Or is there any other option I should go for that is better? I can spend arround 300-400 euro's on it
