are samsung ssds a meme?

mpd or mopidy?

I have a K3 Note
I use it to play music from while driving
Audio quality is shit, it may be the phone itself

Are there any cheap mp3 players that I should look at other than the Ruizu x02 and Sansa Clip?

I have the latest KCP release of mpc-hc. Sometimes when I try to load videos encoded with hevc, it will get stuck loading them forever. It never happens with 720p videos, just 1080p, but not all of them.

How do I fix this?

I want to make my own website, but don't really care to learn html/css and don't want to pay any money, what should I use?

Any video with "chapters" displays an incorrect video length when I cut it with ffmpeg. Cutting to a .webm with ffmpeg does not produce a thumbnail even though I should have them (example in pic).

How do I fix these two things? How do you disable chapters from a video? I can just convert to another format to avoid .webm fucking me.

Sorry for the inflated filesize, I was mostly worried about not having any questionable content in the pic when I took the ss, so I overlooked this.

post your commandline parameters, the input of a working webm and one of a non working one.

Retard.

how do i decrypt an archive.gpg if i have the .sig?

Why does su and sudo take so long to tell me I entered my password wrong?
If I type sudo something and enter my password correctly it instantly executes the command but if I get it wrong, it takes 3-4 seconds to tell me it is. Why does this happen?

prevents bruteforcing by slowing down attackers.

Would it make sense to disable that protection on local access? If an attacker gets access to my unencrypted system, he could just chroot and use passwd on my account much faster than it would take him to brute force my password.

What is your guys opinion on elitebooks? Just bought an 840 off my friend for $60.

How much will a 7200 rpm HDD speed suffer if I remove it from the sata 3 port and plug it into the sata 2 one?

My motherboard only has two sata 3 ports and I want to use the second one for a second SSD

you could have two HDDs on a SATA2 port and they wouldn't get bottlenecked (most of the time)
HDDs are awfully slow, think 90-160MB/s, where SATA2 can do 300MB/s

Hey, sorry for the extraordinarily late reply- I was doing something I was really anxious about and stuff...

I'll get on that right now.

Will buying a cheap SSD fuck me over? Like getting a Kingston 120gb for 40 bucks to put Windows and a game on it?

I have a problem with the shortcuts. One day I have reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop, and every time I press F1-F12 keys, they don't work. They'll need Fn key too, which fucking sucks. Every time I press F4 key and alt+F4, it switches monitors. I have Intel [R] HD Graphics (no thousands) GPU.

Hey, sorry, I can't really provide the "input of a working webm" because ffmpeg doesn't seem to be able to create webms with working thumbnails- I'd have to fetch a random working webm from elsewhere.

But here's what I used, which ended up with a false filelength due to the original video having chapters:

ffmpeg -ss 00:02:45 -t 00:02:52 -i x.mp4 y.mp4

Had to check the sticky to see how to use the "code" tags, hope it worked. Is this enough?

the deal is, webm does not have thumbnails.
you have some sort of explorer extension that generates those for you.
so you might encode differently than the ones you download.
are you using VP8 or VP9?
Hence the question of showing both outputs.

Besides, using -ss before the input is inaccurate (depending on the ffmpeg version), so use it after the input.

Get a Samsung EVO 750 or 85, they're a bit more expensive but you don't want to be cheap when it comes to SSDs and the Samsung EVOs are known for being some of the most reliable models

How can I have multiple, separate installations of the same application in android? Alternatively, archived caches.

Is there a way to stop certain files/folders from showing up when searching in Windows 8.1? Does hiding the folder remove the contents from search?

Ja, hiding files removed them from search unless the file and folder option for showing hidden folders is selected.

you can pay someone to do it or walk you through it.

What's the difference between Samsung EVO 840 and 850

I have my neighbor's internet password and I want to repeat the signal to my apartment. How can I do that with a TP-Link wireless router?

I did most of the internet tutorials about turning WDS on and DHCP off... And nothing worked.

Can someone here help me? I'm not a tech illiterate btw

Any decent free alternatives to gmail, yahoo and hotmail?

Tbh I don't know what VP8 or VP9 means, but the program I use to generate webm thumbnails is "Media Preview Configuration", but refreshing it doesn't generate ffmpeg thumbnails. Sorry if I was dishonest for not mentioning this at first...

But thanks for the tip on the placement of the commands- I'll heed that in the future.

Honestly I was stressing-out so much over how do what you requested, if I even understood it etc. but here's an upload of an ffmpeg-created **.mp4** with a false display length (it can't even play on Firefox for desktop for me):

my.mixtape.moe/pdsssi.mp4

Here's a random webm I created with a correct display length (EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING):

my.mixtape.moe/pqjfnf.webm

Is this what you wanted from me? Cmd had to much text to paste, and kept updating beyond what could be displayed at once, and when I tried to direct its contents to a text file it would break fffmeg working... sorry...

is this what you're looking for:

I believe you need something like an email client to use it, dunno how this works.

protonmail, openmailbox

VP8/9 is the video encoding, like h264/h265.

the input information would have been enough.
Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'pqjfnf.webm':
Metadata:

Stream #0:1: Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)

The webms you find on Sup Forums are all vp8 encoded, yours is vp9 and your preview thing probably doesn't know it yet.

if you want to cut out stuff try it like this
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ss 00:02:45 -t 00:01:30 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 -c:a aac -b:a 192k -map_metadata -1 output.mp4
-i takes the input
-ss seeks to 2 minutes 45 seconds
-t convert the next 1 minute and 30 seconds
-c:v use libx264 to generate a h264 encoded video
-preset use a slow x264 preset. the slower the preset, the higher the compression/lower the filesize
-crf use a constant rate factor of 21, read up on that here trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264
-c:a use aac encoder
-b:a use 192kilobit per second for audio
-map_metadata remove the metadata

WD Purple okay for a secondary HDD?

Much love for the consideration, mate. I'm so sorry I took so long to reply to you before.

The above just goes on and on after this with "chapters" and "streams" and stuff.

I'll use your command for cutting from now on. Much love. Thanks for the explanation, too. But does this fix the false filelength in output files when the input file has "chapters"?

Does discord notify people of screencaps like snapchat does?

(I'm not screencapping anything bad/for vindictive purposes..)

I never had any problems cutting from sources with chapters.
the chapters should get removed now, maybe they caused some weird funkyness.
You gotta try that out yourself though since I can't replicate that.

Is the 1700x going to be worth the money?

Is DBAN legit/safe?
I got some shitty virus in my flash drive from a computer at work, it replaced all the files with shortcuts and I didn't realize until I put the flash drive in my own PC at home so I imagine the whole thing is infected now.

looks like it.
but as usual, wait for release and let other people test it.

a simple format should be sufficient for that, dban is used when you want to get rid of a harddrive without anyone getting anything off it anymore.

DBAN wipes HDDs 7 times over by default- I believe the first user is correct in saying a format is enough for your purposes.

lmao retard dumbfuck

Thank you, friend. I can confirm your proposed amended cut command fixed the problem I was having.

Cool, thanks for the input, I'll go with that instead.

If I may add another stupid question: should I attempt to backup my files or does that entail the risk of the virus getting into the external HDD and basically repeat the whole process of infection?

ikr

Am I need for a upgrade?

desu when my computer was fucked I ran

adwcleaner
JRT
mbam

and restarted over and over and over until each scan detected no malicious content on my PC. Then I restarted and ran each program two more times.

I'm still using the same... instance of operating system? I never formatted. But the guy who gave me these antivirus program recs was saying he wouldn't fuck with it and would format like fuck- he deemed such a scenario "FUBAR".

Personally I'd trust these three programs coming up with nothing after a restart, but I know many won't. However, I think certain files are impossible to be malicious? Such as jpegs. Maybe save your porn regardless since as video/ image it might always be ok.

Install gentoo.

Also, no.

Disregard that, apparently WD Purple is for surveillance or some shit

WD Blue good? I was looking at HGST drives but the ones on amazon don't ship to my country

>my.mixtape.moe/pqjfnf.webm

By the way, I know no one probably cares, but it bugs the shit out of me not sourcing the porn I post if I edit it and might make it sauceless.

I ripped this from a streaming site and the name of it was:

Maybe match the stick of RAM if you can be arsed. I was told dual-channel RAM has benefit over single-channel.

However I believe I was also told mixing RAM typed and brands etc. fucks you, so if you can't match it, I believe it would actually be worse for you to bother.

Why doesn't Nvidia make desktop CPUs to compete with AMD and Intel on that field?

Why doesn't intel make dedicated GPUs?

I own a galaxy s7 and I have no idea how to change the resolution. For what ever reason, the change resolution option isn't showing up in the display option.

I have a job interview coming up and the position is primarily writing device drivers in C++.

I know C++ but have no experience with drivers. Anyone have some good resources I can read so I don't enter this thing blind?

Amazon or azure for database hosting? It's for a small web application.

Can I use LED bulbs in normal light sockets?

I'm gonna take it from the top, feel free to skip sections.

I think Samsung used to have this option but it may have been removed to improve app compatibility.
Usually, custom roms have an option to fiddle around with this as they assume you're able to deal with it if you make a mistake.

Most smartphones don't have resolution options, as they're built to display at the best resolution. Most software is built to remove user choice in exchange for a easier user experience. Instead of running 720p and getting small battery and performance improvements, you're always running the highest resolution your phone can display for the best picture quality.

If your phone is rooted, you can use a terminal emulator/command prompt to type in terminal commands to change your phone's density (DPI) value, which is how android knows what size to make everything on your screen, and your actual resolution.
>wm density XXX
>wm size YYYxYYY
If you're not rooted, here's what you can try.

androidbeat.com/2015/07/how-to-change-dpi-of-android-device-without-root/

Use a DPI calculator to find the density value you're gonna need for your new resolution. Type in your phone screen size and your preferred resolution.

This should keep you from making the device unusably small or large.

How do you program a PIC? Do they come supplied with an interface board or something?

What does a try statement actually do in Java with regards to exception handling?
Like catch catches an exception and handles it, throw throws an exception, but what is the actual function of try and why is it needed? Why couldn't a catch statement work without it?

Just to be clear, it is possible to use the same keyboard and mouse and still have separate screens with a KVM switch right?

how would that work? catch catches exception thrown it its try block, not anywhere else.
no try block, no catch.

Q: How many lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Lawyers don't change lightbulbs. Now on the other hand, if you wanted to SCREW a lightbulb......

Try runs the code that has a possibility of failure, which would otherwise result in the code being terminated.

Catch runs if that code does error, kills that previously executing code from the stack and handles the error with code you provide to continuing running the thread without failure.

I want to get a virtual machine containing Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition, for testing and learning purposes. I ran an ISO through VirtualBox, but then the wizard prompted for a license key before I can continue. Do I really need to buy a license or is there a "for free"" way?

why does my Chrome browser at home allow me to scroll through the tabs? at work it doesn't work

both are updated at latest version. WTF help

if it has the same socket yeah

i have a usb 3 port and a usb 3 device, when i transfer my files, it starts fast then goes slow to 5 to 10 mb/s, why is that? it's a kingston data traveler btw

I've got a laptop which doesn't like Windows 10, because it has an Intel HD 2000, which isn't properly supported by Windows 10.

So i'm going to go back to Windows 7.

What's the meme version Sup Forums goes on about these days? I've heard terms like POSready 2009, DigitalRiver ISO, all kinds of different versions and downloads.

"meme version"? Not one who belongs to this board or anything, but there used to be a "Windows 7 repository" or whatever link everyone would throw around here and there. It was of W7 Ultimate.

When M$ stopped hosting 7 ISOs on their site, everyone flipped their shit. I got my 7 Utimate from another source. Dunno what resources Sup Forums has for 7 nowadays.

POSready 2009 is windows XP

just use windows 7 pro
ultimate only adds useless bloatware

180 days should be enough, appreciate it.

So anything that has any potential of throwing an exception should be contained in a 'try' block, including method calls?

no, only catch exception when you can handle them properly.

Say I had the above json in a variable called info, and I wanted to grab the first country code's country-id. How would I do this? I'm struggling to write a proper expression

info.data[0].country-id

Is Ethernet over power a better option than WiFi? And is it effected by the electrical usage of the building?

None, but would it actually hurt if I got my hands on such a specialized CPU for desktop use?

How did my cat know there was cat food inside a thick sealed plastic cat food bag which was inside a large cardboard box I had sitting on the floor? I assumed it would be safe but came home to find it clawed through and the cat happily eating from the freshly opened bag. Does the smell permeate the plastic or something? It seemed like sturdy plastic that would not allow much through though.

some houses just have shitty wiring that won't carry it well

it's an expensive option for what could be done with a router

(assuming javascript here)

two things wrong here.
data is not an array but an object, so you can't access it using an index.
country-id is not a valid property name.

if you want the first property using an index you can use Object.keys, which returns an array of all properties of an object.
then you can get the first property and get it's value.
info.data[Object.keys(json.data)[0]]["country-id"]

Should I disable safebrowsing in firefox?
And if yes, what's the correct metod to do it?
I've read that setting every boolean to "false" and deleting the google urls in about:config isn't enough.

cats have a _strong_ sense of smell, like dogs

Idf you're usIng eclipse/android studio or really any java ide worth using, it will auto fill if you try to use functions that would require a try catch. If you have a try catch statement and the try fails, but the catch is empty it will error out of the code as it normally would as if they weren't in those blocks at all.

Compiler will always tell you if you needed one if you dont use an ide.

this, and even assuming the bag was perfectly sealed, that doesn't rule out cat food smells being on the outside of the bag or elsewhere in the box, plenty of chances of them being "dirtied" during production/storage/packing

best IPS monitor for budget gaming builds?

100-150 is fine by me

My GPU died and I'm picking up a 1050 because it's all I can afford atm. I see it only has one DVI port and no VGA port. Neither of my monitors has HDMI. Can I just run my main monitor off the GPU and my second monitor off the mobo? Will that decrease performance in either in any way?

How would you go about making a variable in a subclass accessible to a super() constructor in Java?
Essentially my Character class has an inventory[] array and the size of it depends on the type of character. So for example a warrior has an inventory space of 5, but when trying to declare it and give it a value, the super() constructor won't accept it?
code is below
class Warrior extends Character {
int inventorySize = 5; //unique int declared here

public Warrior(String nameP, String weaponP, int healthP, int baseAtkP, int baseDefP, int weaponAtkP) {
super(nameP, weaponP, healthP, baseAtkP, baseDefP, weaponAtkP, inventorySize); //inventorySize isn't accepted?
}

}

thanks man

So lately, sometimes I type in my password to log in and I get a BSOD C2 "BAD_POOL_CALLER"
if I'm not mistaken this usually has to do with bad ram. I tested my ram with memtest86, and one other test and it came back fine. What could be causing this?

In the past I got some BSOD'S 124 and 50, but those went away with a graphics card update.
