least resource intensive video player for debian?

think anyone can achieve WSL without w10 or vm, like with w8.1 or w7? i need linux system but it's too much to do vm, especially i need it for dev task but i need my computer for gaming too. w10 is too inconsistent and buggy af.

Which resources? Seems like something that uses the hardware decoder intensively would be a good thing, no? What's your target hw?

thinkpad t42, 512mb ram, pentium m, works fine in vlc player until you play 720p or bigger video.

I havehad intermittent limited connectivity and web pages won't load giving me DNS unreachable. It has started with windows 10 iirc.

It only happens when browsing, never when I download, play games, or even fap. Never.

Changed from wifi to ethernet, had my router replaced, I've changed my PC since then. Tried all the ipconfig fixes and all that shit.

It still happens. I don't know what to do. Please help me, Sup Forums, you're my last hope.

I need a photoshop crack for wine
where can I get one
please and thank you

Are there any decent PDF or office/document programs for FreeBSD? Whenever I look around those sorts of things, seems like I'm stupid for not just using linux.

>DNS unreachable
What dns server are you using?

Have been using google's for quite a long time. Do these have problems? My ISP block websites such as piratebay.

Which non-thinkpad laptop has a decent keyboard?

Also, it's intermittent and random, last a few seconds to a couple minute max when I get "DNS unreachable" in opera (or chromium) and I get limited network exclamation mark while it happens.
It's quite short but it's very random and annoying, generally happens once a day, or once every other day, but just yesterday it happend twice in an hour.

thats normal desu

I'm having a lot of crashes over the last few weeks, happening mostly (but not exclusively) when my CPU is doing something intensive like playing a video game. It's driving me up the fucking wall and I don't know what it could be. Any ideas?

you don't think if i got a really barebones video player i could get it to play bigger video?

what would I use to not have to jam speaker wire into these fuckers every time I move my speakers?
surely there's some sort of connector for these

Where can I get a not expensive bitlocker 2 opening software device.

HP pro/elite books, Dell Latitudes

Try setting your DNS to obtain automatically in Windows

could be anything, but most of the time its overheating. When it crashes, is it instantly black screen and power turns off without warning or do you get an error message?

could be bad RAM
run memtest
before doing that try prime95

Will try that. Thanks.

Why, yes, there is. They're called bootlace ferrule connectors.

>bootlace ferrule connectors.
I thought it'd be something like this

i very much doubt it yes. without dropping frames that is

Quick

Why when Internet goes out the laptop also looses connection from the wireless lan, isnt it supposed to still browse the local network?

Yeah yours are better.

I want to see everything of Ghost in the Shell but I would like to know if there is a recommended order to see it and understand it better.

wow, thanks
going to try it now

im in full screen in firefox and/but windows taskbar wont appear when i move my mouse to the very edge of the side of the screen it's on
how do i make it appear when i 'touch' the 'side's edge'?
thanks

like can i have it EXACTLY as full screen is, JUST with the task bar also visible?

Youtube app no longer playing audio in stereo or is it just me?
Nexus 6p.

Install gentoo and grow up summerfag

alright I tried prime95 twice, the first time I crashed during the test which makes me think it's the cpu, running it again now, will post again when it's done
also in event viewer I'm getting event ID 7000 but looks like that could be anything as far as I can tell
instant power off, about 50% of the time though it freezes and then recovers after a few minutes

there are no download links here so I downloaded something referencing m0nkrus off dnoid

already did on my laptop. but for some reason i can't use my laptop now so i have to make do with my gaming rig. spending another $500 for new laptop/machine isn't worth and that's too much money cause i'm only paid half of it a month.

I want to move my porn and some other files from my main machine onto my network so I can access it from other devices. What's the route to go here, buy some NAS or build a homeserver?

why dont touchpads/trackpads/whatever theyre called (the laptop equivalent to a mouse) have middle buttons (as in the wheel of a mouse)?

How much "stuff" and at what bitrate do you need to view it?

NAS is prebuilt home server
decide what is cheaper/easier for you

Is it worth to use Chrome extensions such as Ghostery?

Currently got about 8tb data, though I'm looking to expand that a bit. Hmm bitrate, dunno, currently the upper bound would be 4k videos, just checked a random one, has a 20mbps video stream. Sometimes I've got multiple (4-8) 1080p videos open at once. Another use case is viewing/browsing images in a folder.

I have some experience building a server but practically zero when it comes to NAS, is there a good round up of the different NAS vendors, what sort of features/limitations and so on I can expect? Info on the level of like the first post in the "mechanical keyboard general" threads?

Hey Sup Forums I updated my graphics card driver (nvidia) and I had my first hard crash today (never had it before).

Temps were normal, but the crash was really bad (required cold reboot, pressing and holding power button). Could it be a driver issue?

When I booted again, the motherboard splash screen had for a split second some artifacts but then went back to normal.

I played the same game normally to check if the temps were going up, but it didn't. Played for about 15 mins normally.

Driver issue? GPU not good?

So far I've only been using Linux on a shitty netbook and I wanted to get in on my tower, but upon starting the live usb (I tried several) I get usb device errors and all my usb periphery deactivates.

Googling told me that it's probably a hardware error, something about usb not getting enough power, but why the fuck does it work on windows then?

Update: I tried restarting it again and the mobo splash screen had artifacts again (really quick).

But when I removed the PC from HDMI the splash screen had no artifacts.

GPU dying?

>4-8 1080p videos
I like the way you party.
Go home server especially if you have cheap parts for it lying around. 4GB RAM should be plenty, and CPU almost doesn't matter. I think you would probably benefit from lots of SATA interfaces and more tuneability than the average consumer product would have.

These are the errors, only solution I can find online is "random usb over current, unplug pc for a few minutes and it should work"

Is this shit normal?

Probably, couldn't say for sure without knowing more.

On Youtube, can I subscribe to only a playlist, and not the whole channel?
I am only interested in one type of videos from a channel that uploads like 20 a day.

You can 'save' that playlist to your account but you don't get notifications when a new video uploads inside of that list, it's basically only a bookmark

So, browsing gelbooru has become impossible with uBlock origin and uMatrix for me. Any way to browse that while still having adblock, or should I just stop?

Yeah, but I want the notifications specifically.
Such an obvious feature, and should be piss easy to implement, what are the Youtube team doing?

>gelbooru

What is this and should I check from my office PC?

Yeah, I'll probably go that route, especially because I got some old parts lying around, so I can try some stuff out and see how the performant it feels and then upgrade accordingly.

Porn site, so no.

Should I be worried about this? Y/N?

I need to do a small scripting project but I'm pretty dumb and short on time and energy.

Basically I want to make a script which pops up a fullscreen borderless window in Windows 7, and in that window images display like a slideshow. I want to be able to set the display time, the folder from which to display the images, and whether to display them randomly or sequentially, and ideally to be able to do this all through keyboard commands in-program. It would also be nice if I could select multiple folders at once and still have it randomize.

I'd also like to do the same thing with folders and randomization but with music.

The back-end organization of all this is very very simple, but what I want to know is what's the easiest thing to use to make fullscreen windows in Win7 and (simply and in a non-involved but working way) open/display/play/switch image and audio files using simple grabber objects that I can manipulate more or less like ints or strings...ideally from a range of filetypes/encodes?

Bonus for an easy way to directly call functions by pressing keys so I can skip a CLI and a second screen to put it on. I was thinking Python but tkinter seems sort of painful to get into, honestly, I just want to do a few basic things.

what is this? looks like your gateway and some lan pc

okay I'm this guy and I think my cpu is fucked, tests were clean but i have no idea what else it could be, either that or it's overheating but i doubt it
fucking hell

Yeah .2.109 is one of my PCs that I don't use. I didn't know what the other two IPs were / why it's marked as a **Smurf** attack.

these are all local ips

Can green ethernet/EEE parameters of my NIC cause intermittent disconnection while browsing ?

Is my new hdd ok? Just looking in case I should RMA it because it's a dud or something.

I don't know much about BTC, so bear with me.

If transactions in BTC are made by calculating hashes, and calculating new hashes becomes more and more difficult, shouldn't BTC one day stop working?

Sup Forums, if your laptop has a discrete graphics card, and you boot it without connecting anything to any display port (just booting the laptop normally)

Is all that you're seeing being displayed by the discrete GPU or is it by the CPU's integrated graphics?

depends on the drivers
windows you probably need to set that in the bios and linux you'd use bumblebee or whatever

yes
did you download a beta driver? those are quite unstable
does your cpu have thermal paste? doesnt even matter what your answer is, get some paste and (re)apply it on the CPU
the transactions will also get smarter in due time

I thought the calculating hashes was only for mining new currency. Meaning that at some point you won't get new currency, but you'll still be able to make transactions.

Alright, this laptop I have only shows the discrete graphics as its only display adapter in device manager.

I guess that would mean my integrated graphics card is disabled, yeah? I try right clicking some games, I don't have an option to choose (it automatically runs off discrete GPU).

laptop model? cpu model?

>did you download a beta driver? those are quite unstable
It was upgraded by Geforce experience, so I'd guess no.

Right now the only issue is the (very quick) artifacts that show up on the mobo boot up screen, and only happens on HDMI (and it happens every time it boots)

But removing the HDMI cable I get no artifacts on mobo boot screen.

I'd guess it's a driver issue?

FX502VM, I7-7700HQ.

that laptop is old as shit, before the advent of hd video. you can't make a geo metro pull a semi trailer, no matter how much you will it.

this company wants me to answer this question

>Demonstrated experience in a service desk or similar support role

what do i respond?

seems so, check their forums to see if someone else has the same problem, but I'd assume your GPU is fine

>looses
please learn to spell

That's not a spelling error, that's a vocabulary error.

Hey guys I can't seem to escape this 'for'


@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Item1.ClientName, "", new { @data-valmsg-for = "ClientName", @class="error"})


I need to change the data-valmsg-for to "ClientName" as the actual field is called "ClientName" not "Item1.ClientName". But I can't seem to rename the 'data-valmsg-for' property.

Any help would be super appreciated!

because it's emulated.

Yes, it's fine. No reallocated sectors is a very good sign.

Another user, but who's going to certify transactions?

No idea what's going on here, so take this shot in the dark for what it's worth: in DOM the attribute is called htmlFor.

>Another user, but who's going to certify transactions?
Everybody with a bitcoin client installed I thought.

I need help. I installed a new video card, and when i boot it either turns on and black screens, or goes to a "press esc to open startup menu". I press Esc and i hear a soft beeping from my motherboard but nothing happens, and at regular intervals i get a louder short beep.

Some hardware info. I bought my whole new system except for ram. The old ram is ddr3 and its not supported by my new motherboard. So what i did was in the meantime install my old system in the new case, but put in the new video card. So hardware wise the video card is the only difference.

The motherboard is a shitty old foxconn from an HP prebuilt. My old gpu is a amd radeon hd6970, the new is a gtx 1080ti.
The "press esc for startup" thing is part of some shitty HP crap coded in the motherboard bios i think. The keyboard is cleary detected because of the short beeps, but unresponsive. The only thing i can imagine trying is plugging in my monitor to my motherboard video output and turning on integrated intel graphics. The problem is i currently don't have the vga or dvi cable for it. I only have an HDMI one and my motherboard doesn't.
I've tried installing the nvidia drivers but they won't install without the gpu plugged in.

Is there anything i can do? Other than waiting for my ram for my new mobo or trying with a cable that my mobo supports?

Download the driver from the card manufacturer (not Nvidia), place on your desktop, full uninstall the drivers, reboot, reinstall manufacturer's drivers.
Then come back if it doesn't work.

take out the card, look in bios for a gpu setting (usually auto, integrated or pcie). some of these oem boards are shit at figuring out what to do.

I have, but i don't have a vga or dvi cable, so i cant output the motherboard video to the screen. And i think when i output my 1080ti video it doesnt work because the card isnt recognized by the motherboard because of no drivers

Just tried using htmlFor but it didn't change it...

Basically I need to change the "data-valmsg-for" property but when I type "@data-valmsg-for", it picks up "for" as a keyword and doesn't recognise "data-valmsg-for" as a property

>isnt recognized by the motherboard because of no drivers
drivers are for the os, not the bios.
>i don't have a vga or dvi cable
then get your ass to a thrift store, they have them by the ton practically. they are useful for situations just like this. hdmi a shit.

Yeah i was just looking for options that didn't involve going out today ahahahha. But i guess that's my best bet for now

ganbatte user

When I install f-droid from the website, both the client and the apk, the open button is greyed out. The apk is installed as an update to an apparentlyalready existing version of f-droid, but when I look through all my apps via the setting menu, I can't find f-droid. I have f.lux enabled but it doesn't prevent opening apps after installing non-play store apps iirc

any good temp phone numbers that youtube will take?

Yes in general, but ghostery is ass.

ghostery got caught selling user data

There isn't a smartphone general so I'll ask here.
Any good torrent clients for android?

I just use uTorrent desu

Figured it out, it has to be "@data_valmsg_for=" not using "-"

libretorrent on fdroid

delet this

are there any krita tutorials?
