What's the simplest way to combine mic input and computer sounds and them output as a virtual microphone?

Some of my RAM sticks went bad and I have to settle for using only 2 GB at the moment. With only 2 GB of RAM on a Windows 8.1 machine, should I disable Superfetch or keep it enabled?

Is it true that deleting stuff from your SSD shortens its lifespan?
I'm trying to be cautious since I bought a laptop that had one included, but I might have fucked up a bit after installing and reinstalling some ubuntu and windows multiple times.

is 27'' too small for a 4k monitor? I can save a bit more cash and get a 32'', but I wanted to get opinions first.

Is this a good purchase for university? (note taking, daily use, etc)

And you think an app is going to make it somehow better?
It's a fucking light. Your bulb is probably fucked then.

Its shit because it stops working when the phone goes into sleep

Jesus fucking christ, what the fuck are you doing in this thread

>stops working when the phone goes into sleep
Stop being retarded.

I found flashlight apps that work in background and sleep mode but had annoying features or ads

What the fuck is your problem? You clearly have no fucking idea about the subject, just dont reply to look witty you huge idiot

./configure
make
sudo make install
Windows, mac, linux?
Oya? Check the command thats launching it.

I already told you: Stop being retarded. You don't need a fucking app.

petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/release-fbi-documents-withheld-due-lack-public-interest

You simply have no fucking idea

>f-fuck of reddit

do all the i3 chips have integrated graphics?

>Windows, mac, linux?
windows and linux

>Oya? Check the command thats launching it.

Do you actually think you need an app for your flashlight? It's built into android you mongoloid.

if it says 3 day shipping, does that mean they wait 3 days to send it or does it mean it takes 3 days for it to get to my house

Its bad because the inbuilt app doesnt work in sleep mode and I want one that works in sleep mode

Can you read?
If you have no fucking idea or answer you have no reason to reply

what's the best torrent client, i had deluge before, but i'm looking at the wiki and i don't know if it's been updated and if i should go deluge, halite or qBittorrent ?

was thinking of getting an old fluorescent task lamp. how hard would it be to jam in some led tubes in this thing? just switch them out, assuming the tubes fit the socket, or do you need to do some modifications? it's probably 50+ years old.

if I want to work as a backend webdev is Java a good language to use or are there better options? I started to learn programming with Java in an edX course but I'm doubting it would be any good for what I'm aiming for

Should I get a Zenbook Pro UX550 or a Yoga 720 15"? Both have the exact same specs and very similar display quality at FHD so I'm not sure which to go for.

Since a week Youtube is unable to save my history.
Not that I would complain but what could cause it?
Using IceCat, before Firefox.

When 120Hz+ 4K monitors hit are they going to be retardedly expensive or no? Under $750 is sensible in my books.

Does coersion occur in any arithmetic operation where int and double are involved, or only in some? How would these be different, for example?
10 + 17 % 3 + 4
10 + 17 % 3 + 4.0
10 + 17 % 3.0 + 4

Everything is retardedly expensive when it first hits. 4k comes down over time though.

Quickest way to change the file extension on a bunch of files in windows?

>has hasnt even learned elementary level scripting

It was a bait question. Sometimes you throw one out there to get the thread moving.

Is there going to be a noticeable difference between 7th gen and 8th gen Intel chips at all?
They say there's going to be up to 40% performance increase but I don't believe a damn thing Intel tells me

Hey guys. I need some assistance in picking out one of the following two chairs. I've honestly no idea what the real differences are or what I should be paying attention to but they're at the same price point.

I'm kind of leaning towards the second one but I'm not sure. Thoughts?

depends on the language familam

Do I lose anything if I convert .mov to mp4?
Just some videos that I shot on iphone that don't show up in google photos, nothing serious

mp4 is actually an extended version of mov, though i'm not sure if there's anything mov can do that mp4 removed support for
since it's just a phone video, it's unlikely you really need anything besides the video and audio tracks
just remux it and see how you go
ffmpeg -i input.mov -map 0 -c copy output.mp4
(this is lossless)

I want an excuse to learn Perl but I already know Python, and as far as I know the latter does everything the former does, and then some.
I'm going to study ML at uni so Python is also omnipresent there. Is there any reason to learn Perl at all?

I'm building a new system.
I have an intel i3 6100 that I bought off some dude along with a z170 mobo, and was wondering should I just use the i3 in the build for now and then up it to a 6700 or just buy the i7?

please respond

Is there a way to get ffmpeg do a whole folder? Like get the name from the file and rename it with mp4?

>Is there any reason to learn Perl at all?
Job security.

for i in *.mov; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -map 0 -c copy "${i%mov}mp4"; done

How can I view Sup Forums in text-only? Like some terminal program or something. I'd like to be able to have discussions on boards like /d/ at work.

Is Perl in high demand or something? I'm not planning on becoming a sysadmin.

Why is my default boot drive 'windows boot manager' and why does changing it to my ssd make my pc not boot when it's my boot drive?

Why some links for mp4 files open as a video in browser while some open as a download link?

>for i in *.mov; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -map 0 -c copy "${i%mov}mp4";
thanks.
getting "i was unexpected at this time"

install Sup Forums X if you haven't already, and enable "werk tyme", which toggles on and off thumbnail visibility

what shell?
also, your quote is missing " done", which is needed

no, it's unmaintainable.

gr8, thx m8

windows command prompt lol. Yeah added the done.

tried plugging it directly into the command prompt. then in a .bat file.

Being hired to maintain Perl programs sounds like hell.
So it has no niche or anything then? Guess I won't learn it after all.

It's the HTML download attribute. You can make any link a download link in HTML. Which tells the browser to download it instead of opening it. There are ways around it depending on the browser.

oh, for is available on windows, but the syntax is different, i can have a look into it

Fuck off pedo

thanks! I thought that I needed to add two %% because I'm pretty sure that it's % for cmd and %% for bat file.

How do I setup MPC-HC in current year? I feel like such a retard, in the past I just downloaded KCP and called it a day but between madvr, lavsplitter, subfilter, etc, there's just so much to tweak and I don't really know what everything does or what's best.

Can anyone hold my hand or at least guide me in the right direction? For starters, what's better, hardware decoding or software decoding, and more importantly, when and why?

That'll do fine, probably. Just don't expect to game on it.

>JB is pedo
Perhaps you should fuck off, normie. All the way back to R eddit, friendo.

Plus isn't Misty like a grown-ass woman?

How do I change pkg repository in freebsd?

on windows, yes, "%" is a special character that needs to be escaped (by using another "%")
my example is not for windows

even with the %% before and after the i it doesn't work. same message

like i said, not for windows
i'm getting called away, this is as far as i've gotten, doesn't quite do it, someone else might be able to fix it up;
for %i in (*.mov); do set imp4=%i:.mov=.mp4%; ffmpeg -i "%i" -map 0 -c copy "%imp4"

thanks for all your help.

Is MadVR's "custom modes" tab meant to replace ReClock, or should I use both together for smoothest playback?

>There are ways around it depending on the browser.
Like what I'm using firefox, it's annoying especially if I want to open PDF in browser.

Also I some this is host/server thing?

I have linux installed on one SSD and windows on the other. I'm looking for a utility that will present me with a boot prompt when I turn on my PC so I won't have to go into bios every time to select the boot device.

I've posted here before about this, no I have not tried the gentoo IRC, I have nowhere to set my IRC client up.
I'm trying to set up the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Gentoo on an amd64 machine with UEFI. However, according to the wiki guide, the in-kernel EFI framebuffer conflicts with the initialization of the driver and I need that on otherwise my OS hangs at grub telling me "Loading Linux 4.x.xx-gentoo". I've tried installing X server with EFI-FB on and I couldn't get th driver to initialize even after following all the steps.
Help me out bois, I'm at a loss here.

If i fap to girls (male) with a feminine penis, does that make me gay?

The act is homosexual. There is no such thing as ``gay'', just disgusting people making bad choices.

>disgusting people making bad choices.
Like hetero?

I'm tired of having my parents pay everything for me. if I wish to earn tons of money in the future which should I dive with all my soul into: mobile dev or web dev (full stack)?

But which one is making the disgusting choice, the boy who looks like a girl, or the person fapping to the boy who looks like a girl.

And if I watch a boy dressed like a girl, fucking a girl in the pussy, does that make it heterosexual? Does it make it more heterosexual than normal porn with full on big muscly men pounding a woman, because instead of that you get a cute feminine girl (male).

What's the best way to encode a bunch of FLAC albums to MP3?

MusicBrainz tagging and cover art embedding is a plus.

Oh dear god what the fuck is this? Every once in a long while I check this part, and there's like a wall of these icons that go away as soon as you hover over them.

I need to download tens of thousands of images roughly 300 to 300px (at least they have to be equal width/height).
It will be almost every politician.
Need some protip here...

How do I go about this? Is there any script that takes an array of names and returns images?

I use torchie
Pressing both volume buttons toggles it on, can only turn it on if the screen is lit (lockscreen works), stays on indefinitely.

I started to mess around with Arch Linux. Partitions, installing and user adding went fine, but I can't use the wifi-menu nor the ethernet, even if the interfaces are up. When and how should I install the drivers for the wifi and Ethernet

>UX550
nvm it's trash.
guess I'll get the Yoga

When will this GPU powered Crypto-coin bullshit stop so GPU prices go back to normal prices?

Thanks
