So, I'm trying to load a bluray using mpc-hc with LAV filters and I'm getting pic related as an error.

From what I can tell this means I'm missing the specified codecs but as far as I can tell (scrolling through the list supported by LAV) I do. So I'm not sure what is going on.

I used to have a 120hz Benq LCD to play Counter-Strike, it was great.

But I had to sell it, and my other IPS monitor is too laggy to play fast paced games.

My question is, should I buy some random crappy CRT monitor, if I can find one where I live? Is there a huge difference in response time and frequency from top of the line CRTs and low end ones? (taking into consideration my current IPS monitor)

site obviously tries to copy UGG website, and it seems fishy as hell. If she doesn't get her package (as she probably won't), can she sue?
do you have experiences with this site?
also pic not related

It is a new build and some old HDDs. When I press the power on button the fans start moving, but nothing is happening. Pressing the power off or restart does nothing. The speaker makes no sound. And I don't get to the bios. Any ideas what could be the problem?

doesn't support SSL, whois points to some Chink, obvious UGG Australia knock off, in shipping they write pls instead of please.
my mom says she doesn't mind chinese copy but i'm afraid she won't see even the copy.

>can she sue?
Ask your credit card people to do a charge back because the item hasn't been delivered by the seller.

Why THE FUCK do chipset manufacturers so such a shit job at maintaining old chipsets? I swear to god I'm back in college that's the level of competence I'm seeing currently.

Fresh install of Windows 7 (really a downgrade from 10). Ethernet controller doesn't work, oh well that happens. hwinfo doesn't show the device... It's in device manager as "Ethernet controller" with ID ven_14e4&dev_16b1&subsys_96b11849&rev_10, or the BCM57781. The downloads for Broadcom ethernet drivers from Intel are old, but whatever, they don't install anyways. Got the "LAN driver" from Asrock's site, that shit doesn't work either... GO TO BROADCOM'S SITE. NO RESULTS FOR "BCM57781". NIGGER WTF.

What do from here m8s?

why is something as big as Facebook promoting this garbage?
i think it's an obvious scam but i didn't know Facebook would promote it. Can any of you guys confirm it?

In a shocking turn of events, one of those sketch af driver download sites gave me drivers that worked. Don't worry, I'm not retarded, I opened up the .exe and took out the important files.

>why is something as big as Facebook promoting this garbage?
Money. Facebook's reputation can't really get much worse, and nearly everyone uses it anyway. They probably know they can get away with it, or don't even bother to double check what they're helping advertise.

What's the point of the Ryzen 5 1600X?
Can't you just slightly overclock a 1600 for the same performance and TDP?

Is there any good free download manager like IDM without ads shit ?
open source would be a bonus

Using the NBNS protocol, how could I get a list of records that include host names and ip's? This is mainly for probing the network for devices that have records.

Why did it break, and why is it working significantly better than ever before after fixing?

Will a 32 bit system consider an n-bit binary number starting with one as negative (n being a positive number less than 32)?

fuck off retard

No, and the question is imprecise. It depends not upon default word size, but the representation system. But if you assume two's complement, then only if the most significant bit is 1 will the number be negative. With other n-bit numbers the more significant bits not specified can be assumed to be 0.

thank you

I'm not sure but you could mine some bitcoins with it maybe? Or if there's computer part shops around you should just sell it.

You done goofed, CRT monitors are a pain to carry and their prices plummeted from what I experienced.

How do I add subtitles to an MP4 file?

makeuseof.com/tag/subtitles-text-editor-aegisub/

make them in a text editor in the format it describes, save the file as SRT, load it in MPC or whatever the hell you use, bam, done, finished.

No, I mean making it part of he MP4 itself, like with an MKV file.

Ryzen 1600 here.
The Windowa USB starts up. I can't use the mouse, but I continued with keyboard. It can't read the HDDs and the SSD, though. It says drivers are missing. I am doing this through a USB2.
I tested the USB on another machine and it works.
Help.

this thread on a forum I lurk suddenly got a massive amount of views and my friend's wondering why it could of happened. thread:

Not sure where to ask this apart from the technology board. Any ideas or ways to figure out if it got linked anywhere or something?

Is there an easy way to transfer my full windows10 os from my hdd to my ssd? Or should I go with ntfsclone and working around?

Check your power cables and test them with a multimeter if available

Most mobos have a power status light, check that.

Install gentoo pleb

i only tried acronis true image, works perfectly. used it in cloning drives when i worked for free in our library.
it also works even you have two drives, it boots to acronis boot image and clones your drive outside windows.

Need help with Instagram. I like to look at people's instagrams, but i didn't have an account myself.
I found out something called "instagram stories" exist, so i made a dummy account and logged in, but i can't find them or see them.
Are there any requirements to see instagram stories, e.g. i have to use the app instead of a web browser, i have to follow the person, etc.?
Because i don't really want to download the app and have it spy on me, as Instagram is owned by Facebook

i think you need the app but last i checked there was an extension for chrome to view them

So my laptop already has a 256gb ssd and I have been planning on getting a new drive sometime. Obviously a hard disk drive would be much, much cheaper, but what I'm wondering is how much it might affect the battery life.
And to be sure, isn't it important to store programs and the like on the ssd while keeping like videos, pictures etc. on the hdd?

preaching to the choir m8

generally, you keep the OS and any programs you want to load fast on the SSD, and everything else on the HDD.

Battery life won't be affected too much by adding an HDD, maybe a few minutes at most.

I have a Core i3 6100 custom build, with two monitors plugged into it, one being HDMI and one being DVI.

My two monitors is a 1080p ASUS monitor (obviously plugged into the HDMI port) and a 900p HP monitor (plugged into the DVI port).

When I start the computer, the BIOS always pops up on the secondary monitor, the one with the DVI port. It always boots on the second monitor, but when I get into Windows 7, it gets to the primary monitor. Very rarely do I see it boot via the first monitor. Why is this? Is it my graphics card (GTX 1050 Ti) prioritizing DVI over HDMI on boot? Or is it my second monitor coming on first, then the primary monitor comes on?

It is probably because XHCI is on in your BIOS. Assuming you are trying to install Windows 7, I've had this problem, except my SSD and HDD was detected just fine.

Try disabling XHCI hand off in your BIOS, and see if that makes a difference with getting your peripherals working.

In addition, you need to install the USB 3.0 driver if you're using Windows 7. ASRock I believe has USB 3.0 drivers available. In addition, it could be AHCI acting wonky, not completely sure.

In the various Sup Forums archives, is there any way to search for filenames with a special character in them? I'm trying to search for all filenames containing "$R", but it's just returning all filenames with the letter R in them instead.

Trying to get DS4Windoes working via bluetooth.

Currently, I have the DS4 driver installed, 360 controller driver installed, and the DS4 controller turns works when connected by cable. The controller appear in "Devices & Printers" and the light on the DS4 goes blue and a 360 controller appears in D&P. It totally works.
I have the controller paired with my BT adapter and I can see the controller appear in D&P when it finally connects. The blinking light blue goes to a solid light blue. But DS4 doesn't finish the job. It doesn't connect to the controller, make the 360 virtual controller, and the DS4 eventually powers off. It doesn't show up in the list of available controller in the application either.

The only difference between connecting the DS4 via USB and BT is in the devices and printers, when connected via USB if I right-click and go to Properties > Hardware there is "HID-compliant game controller" under device functions, that isn't there contrller that appears when connected via bluetooth.

Any insight?

No, I mean something like this.

How do I block these malicious ad.fly (and it's related domains) ads without breaking the site? I remember in the past a simple adblocker was enough. I use Firefox ESR with uBlock and Noscript and the only way the site works is when I disable both. There are several ad skippers for chrome that supposedly work with ad.fly. There must be something for Firefox.

Let me reword this more simply:

DS4 controller connected to computer via BT isn't showing up as an HID-compliant controller.

Anybody?

Install Compton

Why is creating a virtual disk in virtualbox so fucking slow and takes several minutes in WIndows, when on Linux it does it instantly?

use hyperv you cuntbrain

Remove all controllers under devices and printers and reinstall drivers, don't know what else to say. I had some troubles with DS4 in the past, but mainly when trying to use 2 controllers at once.

Is there a way to download music from Spotify for free?

I have a local website up and running on my network. My goal is essentially to connect to the site I set up, from one laptop to the next, and break into the database, stealing the data I have stored. Or to generally fuck it up somehow. Any tips?

Also, I made it pretty damn secure(I think). What are common ways to access databases from the client side, if possible?

Is there any way I can download an OEM specific version of Windows 10?

I have an Asus Transformer tablet/laptop that's fucked beyond belief, and I want to format/reinstall without all the BS of finding drivers.

What is "ARC" in BSD?

You can ask the distributor for an installation disk, but this will cost you something (if they offer one at all). Otherwise you could backup your drivers from the laptop before reinstalling it. I would recommend downloading a fresh and probably updated version from the web manually though.

I don't know why I ask here. People don't know shit.

Is there a way I can download images from 4chanx's gallery mode by pressing a key ("d")?
I browse /wsg/ a lot and having to either drag the image into my desktop or to exit gallery mode, download by pressing the icon and re-entering.

>from the client side
Don't trust the client.
Probably none is answering because you are a passive aggressive entitled brainlet asking the equivalent of a homework question.

Some of my applications have an invisible icon in both the taskbar and application list. Currently it's just hexchat and GIMP, but I imagine others in the future will have this problem.

I hooked up my DS3 controller per bluetooth and remapped the right stick to control the cursor and R1/L1 to left and right click. Cost me nothing and did the job. But you could also get one of these wireless keyboards with touchpad.
Also did you just draw this in paint?

I don't trust the client, the question was how can I access the DB from the client, if possible.

Buying a new laptop.

Which do you think is the wiser choice?

I'm heavily leaning towards the second option (i7, 16GB RAM, 528GB SSD). Any reason to object?

With an application server. How do you think websites work?

None. Intel is shit

What will you use it for? Picking the cheapest one is always a sane choice. Ask yourself if you really need those specs.

Cool, I agree a controller seems the most comfy. I just found "Controller Companion" on steam. It does that + on screen keyboard should I need it.

Is there more to game performance in Linux than just graphics drivers?
I get approximately half the framerate on Linux with the kernel radeon driver, vs catalyst on Windows.

ive been hearing rumors shit flying all over, that windows 10 is losing support in 2018, im curious is this true and why is micropenis doing this to millions of customers.

>Is there more to game performance than just graphics drivers?
Hurr durr, how about how the program was written? How shit the port is?

What would be the replacement? That's stupid and you are stupid. They have even turned it into a rolling release so it'll last longer.

No fucking shit. Everything is set up, I have a functioning application. I'm trying to break into said server from the client side.
