How can I watch video's on youtube and shitpost on Sup Forums without javascript?

I have a 22$ 10Ah Power bank with 2 USB ports. One is 5V 1A and other one is 2.1A 5V.

The power bank uses a seperate DC-DC boost converter for each USB port to step up the voltage to 5V from whatever voltage the Lithium-Ion batteries provide.

Would it be more efficient to draw 0.8-1A of power from the 1A port or 2.1A port.

tldr: When does a boost converter work more efficiencly? At 50% load or 100% load?

I tried to tweak nVidia driver settings to make a certain MMO not look terrible. After I was done, every time I start my PC my windows (7) theme keeps changing to basic. So I've been having to go to Services.msc and hitting Restart to fix it each time. This happens even though I've reset the nvidia stuff to default now.

Google says I'll have to reformat. Any other ways I might be able to solve this?

Okay. Thank you.

Fucking hell, upload.

Should I bother to upgrade this or is it getting too old? It's a Vostro 3500, I'd upgrade to a SSD, 8GB of ram and get a new battery, but I could also spend that money on a new laptop instead. What would be the best course of action?

You're being censored by your isp.
Use a different ISP

No I'm not. It's fine with my smartphone using the same wifi.

Upgrade the RAM and throw in a new GPU and you should be fine. Consider overclocking the CPU as well.

never mind, didn't see it was a laptop.
Get a new laptop faggot

My PC is connected to my TV using HDMI.
My TV is connected to my receiver using RCA cables.

Why can't I get sound from my speakers connected to the receiver? I get sound from my TV.

It depends on how your tv does hdmi.It may only support video

Thanks, user. I think it worked

I have a similar setup.
The obvious thing: Make sure the RCA cables are on the right set of "audio out" plugs.

I think that I ended up getting optical-to-RCA converter box because I got a very new TV that does not easily output RCA stereo audio. The TV did have an optical audio out so I got an optical-to-RCA converter box:

amazon.com/Musou-Digital-Optical-Converter-Adapter/dp/B01AWBA8U8

Note: if you get intermittent hissing, you have to configure your TV to output PCM (mine defaults to another type). This is mentioned in the directions of that unit if you get that one too. It works great, and when I upgrade my receiver, I'll get one that can accept optical in, and then it will be pure digital audio then.

That's what I figured but it does carry audio to the TV. It only seems to work with the built-in TV speakers though. I get audio from my speakers while I'm watching normal TV.

Could it be the cable? I bought the cheapest ones I could find.

Or maybe I just have a crappy TV, can't even chose audio output device.

4chanX hasn't worked for me for months. When I try to post after entering the captcha, the captcha just gets eaten and it tells me "No captcha entered" meaning I'm unable to post anything. How do I fix this? Uninstall 4chanX completely and reinstall? Enable some script I'm not aware of? I'd really like to go back to it.

Cant reproduce

I just realized I wasn't clear enough. My speakers work while I'm watching TV/DVD. But if I extend my PC monitor to the TV I only get sound from the TV-speakers.

anyone know why shit like this happens?

Did you configure Windows (and/or maybe the NVIDIA control) to output audio via the HDMI which will look like a sound card to Windows.

MEGA is telling me that I ran out of HTML5 space on Google chome.

How do I fix this? I got a lot of porn I need to download.

Yes or no?

Run Adwcleaner, flush your DNS cache.

Changed the output device in windows. I didn't consider Nvidia settings, I'll check them out. Thanks!

consider the following

Hey Sup Forums

I upgraded my RAM for my PC and now while my computer will turn on but there's no visuals. What did I do? What wire did I accidentally pull if it's visuals? I use DisplayPort.

I had this exact same problem.

Try taking out all but one of the sticks of RAM, then bumping the voltage up to 1.6v in the mobo settings.

There's a "setup digital audio" in the NVIDIA control panel. It probably has a more complete set of choices that make sense than the default Windows choice.

I have my HDMI selected as the name of my TV, which makes sense.

Yeah, I don't know what to do. I know other people are using it fine, I have no clue what's wrong with mine.

Where do Ebay sellers get their Electronics?

like how are they getting their hands on Dozens of used Gtx1080s and selling them off?

Interesting theory, but the lack of any sources or true evidence is off putting since it all comes off as anecdotal.
Really though, I'd argue that the recent craze of weird kinks in the last 20 years is due to the internet allowing people to easily be themselves and not fear being labeled an outcast. Society use to be very conservative and opressed anything too far from the norm in sexuality, and since the flood gates are open we are seeing it actually flood out instead the actual minority it is.

I think there are some companies who let you rent the latest video cards and get upgrades.

Those ebay sellers probably buy all of those old cards wholesale and sell them individually.

Got 3 months of spotify premium for a dollar. Never used it before, but being able to DL songs instead of trying to pirate them or do youtube to mp3 shit is why i got it. Are the songs encrypted or anything so only the spotify app can play them? Or did i just pay a dollar to be able to dl as many songs as i want, transfer them, and keep them?

Tried that, and then I tried putting the old RAM back in. Nothing. I must have pulled a wire inside and I've no idea what I pulled.

I never used it but I looked because I was curious and it seems kind of trivial to defeat DRM more so than iTumes.

is it true that if someone steals my *active* sim card they can receive messages that were meant for me?

i dont know much about how sims work

You have to record/convert them

A quick web search of "chrome out of HTML5 space" should get you help.

What should I do to get rid of dust?

If I have an Nvidia graphics card do I still need to install the AMD chipset driver for my Ryzen cpu

Sim cards have unique identifiers to identify yourself on a cell phone network. If the sim is duped, then the other phone may send/receive data (calls and data) on the network.

Not sure how well duplicate devices will work too, like does it ring the first phone it finds on the network?

Reinstalling it seems to have worked this time.

that makes sense.

im very suspicious of Big Sellers on ebay after i got a Dead Card. First Build, First GPU every purchased, and it was Dead. After seeing ScrapeYard wars from Linus... where companies are getting Pallets of junk and reselling it.. i can only guess where these GPUs are coming from. Ran into a stream last night of a dude with Dozens of Graphics Cards mining Crypto Currency..... those are also likely flooding the used market.

only somewhat safe better if buying from a small person that is upgrading... but they dont have return policies..........

if anyone is interested you can get a GTX 1080 on ebay for around $430 every few hours.

...
wat

>only somewhat safe better if buying from a small person that is upgrading
I think this is a safer bet buying a used card because a person selling a card they bought is less likely to burn the card up so they can get some money back.

I doubt the wholesalers are testing anything. If I was mining cryptocurrency or playing cards via a lease service, I'll just upgrade when the card starts melting

newegg has new GTX 1080's starting at $499
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487252

I'd wonder how much utilization (% GPU used, hours of use) those eBay cards had too.

Chipset usually refers to your motherboard and cpu. i dont know if amd has their own way of updating, but you might have to update your motherboards bios.

your graphics card has its own drivers.

I got three extra monitors with an arm for free from a family member. My GPU only has two DVI ports left though.
What's the cheapest and easiest way to run two displays off of one port and use them independently?

Does anyone know if the "Get It Right From A Genuine Site" piracy warning letters initiative in the UK covers porn?

I have two desktop towers I want to use, however I only want one set of mouse/keyboard on my desk.

Is there a USB hub switcher I can buy, that will let me plug in my mouse and keyboard, and have the hub connect to the two PCs with a switch so I can decide which PC to control at a given time?

The best analogy I can think of are the multimedia boxes where you can have multiple devices hooked to a hub, and a button on top to tell the TV which input to receive.

yes

just do;
ffmpeg -i input.m4a -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 output.mp3

just use megadl from megatools

yes, they're called KVM switches

there are also software solutions like Synergy

Are 1280x800 projectors that "support 1080p" just a gimmick to trick you into thinking that it's actually full HD?
