All 3 of encoder mode, bitrate and frame size.

If a custom built PC loads to the windows 7 logo and then bsod, does it mean I need a PSU with more watts?

I'm using a HDD with Win7 and it works on my original PC but not on the Custom built with a 300 watt PSU.

My MSI Gaming X 480 (supposedly the rx 480 with the best cooler) is sitting a bit high, about 58c with just a few chrome tabs, speccy, and a 20 minute youtube running. In games it rarely pokes over 65c, but what might cause such high idle temps? My air flow is pretty good, and the rest of my components are fairly low temp.

Markup for HTML
=============

What is a good markup writing a document that will be published in HTML5. Is there a markup that also supports elements such as dl.

RestructuredText does definition lists
docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#definition-lists

Markdown has a standard extension for it too:
pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/definition_lists.html

I've been pleasantly surprised by Pelican lately, a static HTML content generator, that uses both Markdown and RestructuredText as input:
blog.getpelican.com/

My new homepage is entirely static. There's not even JavaScript. It's blazing fast and very secure. I'm expecting a brief traffic surge soon and all I have to move it to a CDN since it is 100% static.

If I really need something dynamic, I will solve it with a minimal API.

It seems so wasteful to execute dynamic code for every simple page view.

would it be a good idea to store massive amounts of porn videos on youtube as unlisted/prIvate just so I can easily stream them from anywhere?
do they ever check the contents of private videos?

Has anyone gotten lens profiles to work in pirated photoshop CC?

Is there anything better than bettertouchtool?

I feel like I'm only paying for this shit if it's going to be my only option.

just use onedrive

How can I install a local DNS resolver with DNSSEC on my Android phone?

Thanks.

Think you would have better luck on a private facebook group

how come when you search "macos" in pornhub it automatically changes to "mecos"
wtf???????????
is it just me?
can you guys try it

I have 1TB on my google Drive and it's mostly empty (only around 100GB is taken)
I'm sharing a folder with someone so he could upload a 30GB file, but when he tries to upload it, he gets a massage that says that there is not enough storage to upload.

Why can't he upload it? is the size of his own drive counted against the file?

I have a 4x4tb raid10 array on my ubuntu server and would like to use more of the storage so I'm guessing either raid0 or spanning. I have a full backup of all this data btw.

I know raid0 is risky with four large drives however simply spanning them in an lvm volume seems a waste speedwise. Wat do? I've thought about raid5 but the write speeds kill it for me.

is there a program or a website that reads a list of urls and check which one is the fastest?

What's your goal? Maybe try jmeter

i want to see what searx mirror is the fastest

Proven affordable monitors for graphic design/visual work in general? Color accuracy, gamut etc.

Windows Piracy Charter:

Start

1. Goto MSDN Subscriber Downloads
2. Search whatever Windows you need.
3. When found, copy its exact filename(*.iso) and note the SHA-1 hash
4. Search Google for filename
5. Download the file from one of the links.
6. Match the hash with hash of step 3

Stop.

Basically, get your iso from anywhere, just match its SHA-1 hash to check if it matches on MSDN or not.

I can give you direct iso link if you are there, just tell me the version you need.

So someone's HP Pavillion dv9000 finally died for good and he refuses to accept it. Can any current $250 laptop replace that? He seems to think that there's no laptop better than that shit but those specs are kind of terrible these days.

Is there an antivirus I can use when I forgot to activate Common Sense 2016?

if you simply want to compare the response time to each URL, you can create a batch file to ping to each one and compare round trip times.

google chrome's developer options should be enough, just remember to clear the cache

is it possible to have windows running in virtualbox using a virtual 10gbe network adapter?

converting some shit on handbrake from 4k res down to 720. The converted videos take really long to seek, almost 10seconds. The original files don't, what am I doing wrong?

I left the settings as they are except RF slider.

Depends on what hardware you have inside of it and how much power those are draining. It's probably not the issue here.

300w PSU is p small. Post your specs.

Look up 480 undervolting.

7890k, 7870k and 7850k. However, there's not much a difference in performance between the three. In fact, there's not much of a performance difference between FM2+ APUs in general. You'd be better off saving some money and going with either an A8-7600 for a lower TDP or an A10-7700k for overclocking.

are there any benefits to updating wifi drivers or should i just go for the good ol "if it aint broke, dont update it" ?
is there away of benchmarking such drivers ?

If you're not experience any bugs or poor performance I'd say stick with your current drivers.

you should always update. example, client did not update wireless driver on a lenovo laptop, and wound up getting an infected bios. first time i've ever seen one, but updates include security updates as well. not a good idea to skip out on security

How many toes does a fish have?

Coming from no background where is a good place to start learning GNU/Linux?

Is there some kind of reference for how to interact with a terminal?

What I mean is that I want to make an interactive Terminal game from scratch, without using libraries like ncurses.

I need a good list of command codes and how the Terminal interacts with them.

If you consider yourself "smart" and know how to read and can remember what you have read, I suggest going full spartan and install Arch/Gentoo/LFS. It is fucking painful, but it is the fastest way to learn this shit. This approach is also good if you are trying to get over a girl.

what are the best settings for intel graphics openGL driver ?
is there any benchmarking tool for openGL that wont crash my system ?

Ubuntu and their forks
I hear linux mint is pretty easy too
dont go for Arch, Gentoo or other complicated shit like that
>hurr durr its easy you just have to read the wiki for 2 hours

What are some sites I can upload files to from the command line? I only want them to be up temporarily (hours only) and the file size limit can be as low as 10mb
I usually use 0x0 but that's been down

hi, when I download a torrent (eg anime) the torrent works fine but my internet doesn't load anything else (like google, Sup Forums etc)
Is this normal or just me? i'm using qbittorrent on windows

Set speed limits. If your max download rate is 2MB/s, set it to 1MB/s to start with, play with it until your torrents don't choke & your "internet still loads"

no its not normal unless your internet is THAT shit
install Tixati
also what are some good torrent sites ? i used to use isohunt but thats pretty dead now

fwiw torlock is mid-tier...

I bought a 6700K about 6 months ago, did I dun goofed and should I replace it with a 7700K?

I don't do any encoding or anything like that but a few games I play are very CPU intensive like Cities Skylines with 400 mods.

wtf is wrong with you I know I said I use windows but i'm not retarded

what programming/scripting languages that I can choose from if I want to develop android apps?

I only use qbittorrent's search engine in the app itself

overclock it you fucking inbred piece of shit
why in the eleven fucks did you buy a K cpu if you were never going to push its clocks? what the fuck do you think intel is doing with their fake generations? its the same fucking chip plus 1%. spend $50 on a cooler & do something to justify being on this board. fuck. yes, this makes me salty as fuck.

whats a tracker?
how do i use these

does the fiio e10k use a battery I would eventually have to replace?

wtf are you watching?

I have overclocked it you nigger but nothing like the 5GHZ the 7700K is meant to be able to easily achieve.

On the first boot of the day my pc will boot into windows 10 and then black screen, it will then reboot and work fine?

Is this a windows 10 thing, or something in the BIOS?


i7 920 OC + 1060

Create a .torrent file
Set the tracker URL in it
Share the .torrent file

The torrent clients then use the tracker to coordinate the swarm

in your torrent client, open an active torrent, edit the tracker list, throw all those udp's in there (formatted however your client prefers)

Windows 7 Professional connected to the Internet via WiFi.

In safe mode with networking, my ping to www.google.co.uk is a consistent 9-11ms. Booted into Windows normally, it's anywhere from 10-30 ms and spikes up to 800-1200 ms on the tenth ping every time, with 100% consistency.

How do I diagnose what's causing this and fix it?

Won't bother listing all the hardware involved since it's apparently not a hardware issue but if necessary I'll write it all up.

Reinstall driver?

I am trying to create a windows 10 install USB but my Gigabyte Z170MX gaming 5 doesn't recognize it.

Also another problem is if I change bios options it commonly restarts, shuts off (with a click) and then reboots a few seconds later with a "boot failure detected" screen where I have to reset to optimized defaults.

Are these boot failures harmful? happens commonly when changing things to do with CPU like C1 states or Turbo boost/hyper threading, etc.

Drivers aren't the issue in this case, I've tried it. Also if it were a driver issue I think it would persist in safe mode.

Core 2 duo, few gigs of DDR2?
Sure, a $250 machine will be better.
For that price for example i could get you a basic lenovo refurb on core i3 (Haswell), I imagine you could get something even better since americans don't pay VAT.

netstat -a see where else is occupying bandwidth possibly

I booted my pc and everything was fine. Then on windows login screen, my monitor goes black for a few seconds and when it's back on picture happened. What do?

Post your overclock then. What CPU cooler are you using?

did it happen on more than one boot?
if yes, update/reinstall graphics driver.
if no, """did you try turning it off and on again"""?

Could be a dying gpu

Can dropping a phone damage the battery?
My phones battery seems to deplete quicker than normal and it takes twice as long to charge (Its a galaxy note 5)

Yeah, the processor is a core 2 duo t2250 and has 2GB of RAM.

It's really a shame I can't convince this person to buy anything that's not 100% new, because I was going to suggest that to him.

Also I put that price in dollars but I'm actually european.

I have the following directoy tree:
folder01/
-> video01.mkv
-> subtitles01.srt
folder02/
-> video02.mkv
-> subtitles02.srt
...
folder99/
-> video99.mkv
-> subtitles99.srt
I want to play every video with subtitles. To that, mpv requires the following format:
mpv \{ folder01/video01.mkv --sub-file=folder01/subtitles.srt \} \{ folder02/video02.mkv --sub-file=folder02/subtitles02.srt \} ... \{ folder99/video99.mkv --sub-file=folder99/subtitles99.srt \}
How can I use zsh's shell expansion to create such format?
I know I could do for i in * ; do ; cd "$i" && mpv *.mkv --sub-file=*.srt && cd .. ; done ; but it doesn't exactly do the same thing.

>which is best out of these?
They don't even all do the same thing.

Disable noscript. Use umatrix instead.

Do you really need to be able to have fast write speeds with such a large array? If you do you could buy an ssd and use it as a zfs cache for a raid5/6 array.

Any pomf clone should work.

Sometimes windows need to reboot on boot in order to apply updates. It might be normal.

Thanks for help. I just connected my laptop, which runs on Ubuntu, to the monitor and the problem persists. I think it's clear that my monitor is broken. It is quite old, so this doesn't really surprise me.

Still weird how this happened on windows login screen.

whats a good place to download old games? early 2000's for example

How do i get rid of bloatware on a new laptop, im stupid

uninstall the bloatware
or install a new operating system (Windows or Linux are operating systems )
lmgtfy.com/?q=remove bloat from laptop

It'll be tough finding something new in that price range with processor above cheapest pentiums.
And i know your pain, had to buy my dad another Nokia C6 since his broken down, because "he knows that phone by heart".
Was very amusing to see he actually doesn't know how to operate it except making calls.

How about
cd parent folder that contains all folder01 - folder99 folders
mpv --sub-auto=all -- .
>−−sub−auto=, −−no−sub−auto
>Load additional subtitle files matching the video filename. The parameter specifies how external subtitle files are matched. exact is enabled by default.
>no - Don't automatically load external subtitle files.
>exact - Load the media filename with subtitle file extension (default).
>fuzzy - Load all subs containing media filename.
>all - Load all subs in the current and −−sub−paths directories.

I should have RTFM. Thanks m8.

why do GLTron and Argametron windows ports crash on startup ? The latter doesn't even launch at all.
it must be the only instance where linux works better than windows for games

What slows a system down more:

a) the number of programs installed
b) the quantity of files
c) operating system bloat

?

What's better for RAID 1: hardware or software RAID? Windows 7 for OS if that influences it.

Software is not portable.
Also, you dont need raid 1

What's Sup Forums think about different e-readers? My parents want to purchase me one as a Christmas present since I asked for books, but I know nothing about them apart from the fact that Amazon Kindle is probably the most popular line of e-book devices.

I guess I'm looking for something with
>Good screen that doesn't kill my eyes
>Adjustable brightness
>Good battery life
>Not too restrictive (can load pirated e-books)
>150€ max

So far according to my own research, the Kindle Paperwhite seems to offer the best value for the price (about 120€), but it doesn't support epub format.

Is there a mini itx or micro atx case with tempered meme glass that has an inverted layout so i can put it on the left of my desk instead of the right?

What is a more convenient way to back up my shit, then? I don't want to go through the suffering of having to rebuild my Sup Forums folders from scratch again.

And it seems like the fucking kikes push ads to the Kindle. Dropped.

get more money, get kobo aura 1

Raid is not backup.


Use a software backup program,to an external device that you can physically remove when your back up is done

I used to use acronis back in the xp day when i was on windows.
