Ma insists on getting a sound bar for her turntable to replace her two floor speakers. Problem is her receiver only has speaker wire output. Would getting speaker-wire-to-RCA cable and an RCA-to-optical converter be a suitable solution, or would there be audio degradation such that I've be better off just getting a new receiver as well?

Hello, I have this password-protected .zip archive that I've made with 7zip some time ago. I forgot the password but I know some of the words I've used for it, I've been trying to use john the ripper and hashcat to bruteforce the hash with a wordlist but when I run john it keeps telling me that every single file in the archive is "not encrypted, or stored with non-handled compression type." The files use AES-256 Deflate Method with NTFS WzAES. Despite the error it still outputs an insane hash of over 500k letters which does not work in hashcat. Is john not able to find hashes for aes256 or am I doing something wrong?

-restarted PC to make sure nothing was using either file

>>105783405Are we talking about HDDs specifically? No, your typical external HDD is basically just picrel, but with a plastic case -> a SATA to USB converter.
External SSDs on the other hand vary hugely.
Right now I have ~6 year old 1TB HDD. Two questions about it.
1. Is there a major risk of it just dying any day? It takes about 30 mins to boot up in the morning.
2. In all this time of using it I still have 260GB of free space, and I really haven't gone through and deleted old stuff. I was thinking of upgrading to a 2TB SSD but I'm not sure I'll need that much space, thoughts?
>>105784347id have backed everythign up 6 months ago. its about to die brother.
>>105772229 (OP)>Would getting speaker-wire-to-RCA cable and an RCA-to-optical converter be a suitable solutionNo, devices meant for line-level signals aren't capable of taking audio signals amplified for passive speakers. You would need some sort of attenuator in the chain as well, but it's a bad idea anyway.
What you need to do is connect the turntable to the soundbar and skip on the receiver, the soundbar has its own amplification built-in and it doesn't need a receiver to work, it's not a passive speaker. If the soundbar has no analog input, then you can use a converter box like you were considering already. There's one more wrinkle here, namely that some turntables do not output line-level signal and as such they need a turntable preamp to work (the signal is too low level). In your mom's current setup the receiver either has a dedicated input for turntables with a built-in preamp or the preamp is built into the turntable itself. You will need to look into what you've got and how things are connected to figure out whether you need to buy a separate preamp or not.

Neither advertise the chipset but a review says it was a Realtek.
The original version lists support for Windows 7 but the newer one doesn't, is that likely an omission or an actual break of compatibility?
I got it planning to use it for a server then retire it later into a legacy Win Vista/7 machine but now I'm not sure if that is possible.
>>105784401So you're saying I should drop $1,000 bucks on a new pc? I'm gonna be 100% honest with you I'm just trying to justify that purchase to myself right now.
Also I double checked and I bought the pc in October 2018.
>>105784347>~6 year old 1TB HDD. I have 15 year old drives still chugging along fine, error free, and as performant as ever.
If you put a drive through 24/7 high I/O (random access, sequential is a much lighter workload) maybe they fail more commonly after the 5 year (good drive warranty period) mark but normally you shouldn't worry.
Just have backups.
>It takes about 30 mins to boot up in the morning.What do you mean? WHAT takes 30 mins to boot up? Drives go from being unplugged and powered off to being spinning, active, and accessible in just a few seconds.
Are you running your fucking operating system off the HDD?
>I was thinking of upgrading to a 2TB SSD but I'm not sure I'll need that much space, thoughts?2TB SSDs come with more DRAM cache, higher performance, and usually twice the endurance. For every good SSD out there you basically get double the endurance with the 2TB model, better performance, and having more space allows for more overprovisioning in some cases which will further boost performance. If you use it as a 1TB drive, it will basically last forever.
Until it dies. Unexpectedly Irrecoverably, like most storage devices eventually do.
Just have backups but I'd go with a 2TB SSD. A good SSD is like $100 for a 1TB and $150 for a 2TB.

>>105784347>Is there a major risk of it just dying any day?Not really. But you're likely beyond the MTBF. So death does come closer every day.
>It takes about 30 mins to boot up in the morning.Win10? If so it's the OS doing a bunch of bullshit in the background on boot and saturating the drive's IO. It's a HDD issue, not your specific HDD.
>In all this time of using it I still have 260GB of free space, and I really haven't gone through and deleted old stuff. I was thinking of upgrading to a 2TB SSD but I'm not sure I'll need that much space, thoughts?1TB is probably plenty if you're penny pinching. But it's not like a 2TB SATA SSD is going to ruin you financially and you can always use it as a media drive or something in the future if you do upgrade the whole machine.
>>105784467>What do you mean? WHAT takes 30 mins to boot up?My computer, it takes about that long before I can actually use it, sometimes longer. I'm not sure if that's relevant but when I check task manager it shows disc at 100% so I assume that's the limiting factor.
>>105784492>Win10?Yes.
>>105784544What operating system are you running?
What model is your "hard drive" ?
>>105784747Windows 10
and a Western Digital WD10EZEX.
>>105784779Okay, that is a hard drive.
Just buy an SSD for your OS, clone the drive to it, and use the HDD as a backup for your SSD.
It's slow because Microsoft is farming CHIA on your storage devices to pay the pajeet farm back home. Older operating systems ran fine off HDDs but not anymore, you get Windows for free but pay with this nonsense instead. Microsoft actually bans OEMs (system makers like Dell, etc) from installing Windows onto HDDs these days and requires SSDs be used for primary storage. HDDs are okay for data storage, but not modern Windows.
Your drive is probably completely fine and performing fine your OS is just to blame.
>>105784821>Your drive is probably completely fine and performing fine your OS is just to blame.That's good to hear. I don't have anything too important on this pc, but if it dies I won't have a pc and that would suck big time.

Will using a cock.li account to verify a protonmail account work for this?
>>105778797>Should I learn C++ or C#?Depends. You actually don't need either of those languages to make a game depending on the game engine, although C# is supported by Unity and C++ is supported by Unreal. I'm pretty sure Godot and Unreal also both have limited C# support. Godot uses its own scripting language called GDscript
>Is it worth learning how to use a game engine?Here on /g/ people will call you a nocoder retard for not programming your game from the ground up with nothing more than basic graphics/sound libraries, but you should really use a game engine instead since it makes the process so much easier, just be aware that game engines usually have licensing and fee caveats. It's worth *not* using a game engine if you want to avoid those but also if you want to genuinely learn how to code.
>Any tips of where to start like sites or blogs about this?There's an absurd amount of information on the web concerning game development but the best place to start would be with documentation and guides for whatever language/library or game engine you decide to use.

>>105784150you'd probably have to find someone who linked to each of them. i'm not familiar with that youtuber so i can't give specific information
>>105776134What the other anon said. I want to stress the importance of having unlinked identities for different communities you use.
There's no reason why your discord gooning username should be linkable to your stackoverflow username where you ask work-related questions. There's no reason the steam username that you use to play with IRL friends should be linkable to the steam account that you use to play with discord goonbuddies. There's no reason any of that should be linkable to your IRL twitter account if you have one, or any shitposting twitter accounts where you post the nigger word and harrass women.
The usernames should be different, they should not be "friends" or anything like that, and you shouldn't tell people which accounts are yours.
Of course the ideal defense would be to simply never have personal information available online, but that's not always possible. Tons of people need a linkedin for job hunting. Many people choose to maintain social media linked to their IRL identity, again for social presence, portfolio building, or networking. You'll likely have accounts that you share with people who know you IRL - friends that you play games with, coworkers or professional contacts that you keep in contact with over twitter, idk maybe girls you contact over instagram I dunno how that shit works, etc. The key thing is to keep your IRL identity clean, and have other "identities" that are completely unlinked from your IRL self, and exist purely online - not as a pseudonym but as a completely unrelated and unlinked set of accounts.
And on THOSE online accounts you obviously never share any IRL details. Even when asked. Maybe e.g. country and general industry (like "programmer") is safe, but no birthday, no exact age, no IRL name, no city, no precise details about your job or family or life, etc.

i've heard of 1.44, 1.68, 2.88, but what are these?
>>105789153 Specially crafted diskettes. I bet Microsoft have those as well. I think that's why I couldn't copy their OS' disk to my 1.44" floppies.
>>105787385i was hoping theres a good gui alternative
>>105789210yea, that's what the 1.68MB i mentioned was, that's microsoft's DMF (distribution media format), a specially formatted disc which is physically identical to 2HD "1.44MB" floppies, but specially formatted.
in all honesty, i'm aware of differently formatted discs, but disks stamped with "IBM" and 1.0/2.0MB not so much. as far as your typical IBM 3.5" discs go, they're usually 720k or 1.44MB. but i am aware things can get complicated as people can get creative with how your format them
hell maybe that's just the unformatted capacity of 720k/1.44MB. i'm not claiming to be an expert. 1.44MB was common by the time i ever used a floppy disc
>>105788729They're not bad. Ideally you want vertically staggered row rather than horizontal ones, too - the only reason they're horizontally offset is because typewriters needed physical space for the levers of each letter; it makes no sense for actual fingers.
Double ideally you can even get a curved keyboard, like an ergodox manuform. You don't necessarily have to go all-in on the autistm, feel free to pick-and-choose, just letting you know that the split keyboards which are literally just a normal keyboard split in half are pretty half-assed.
If you want to go triple autism, you can also learn something like colemak, since you're bad at touch typing right now anyway so it won't be too much to re-learn. But again that's only if you feel like it.
>>105789283>>105789089on further thought, that's probably what it is, unformatted capacity. 1/2MB is double, same as 720k/1.44MB, and the picture shows HD (high density) on the right disc
>>105789081I think it's just because they were the first, and now they're well known. A lot of this is less about the tech, and more about how good you are at bringing a product to market.
VS Code has extensions for this now, true, but Cursor was "the AI-enabled VS Code" for a while and so people treat it as the default choice now rather than going around installing the right extensions.
On the technical side, the differences boil down to how you prompt things, how you supply files as context, how you encode (e.g. if you do any embeddings or whatever). Cursor was the first one to offer easy full-codebase embeddings for example.
Personally I just use claude code since it runs in the terminal. It's pretty good, I tried cursor but I don't feel like I'm missing out.

How do I have windows automatically fix it's time on startup (I'm running a dual boot)
alright lads. what's a good disposable email address site? (Mailinator looks like it's gone to shit:)
Why do you recommend cock.li? I'm looking into new e-mail providers and I'm considering Proton as my private e-mail, but I also wanted an extra e-mail address for NSFW accounts.
What's a good alternative file browser or modfication for windows 10?
>>105790156Cause it's ran by a /g/ autist and doesn't require a phone number or a billion captchas and arcane rules to sign up, and doesn't specialise in selling your data to advertisers.
Proton used to be fine (even if zogged), but they've been adding more and more hoops to jump through on registration.
>>105790078cock.li
>>105790156>but I also wanted an extra e-mail address for NSFW accountsCock.li is perfect for that although not all websites will probably accept addresses from it.
As the other anon said, cock.li is great because you don't need a phone number, billing information, or another major email provider to sign up for it. It is worth noting however that complete privacy with it isn't guaranteed - it doesn't encrypt your emails by default, so if Vincent (the owner of cock.li) wants to read your emails, he can. You'll have to set up encryption on your own if you're really concerned about that. He's just really dedicated to making sure governments can't get your info from his server. Cock.li is also prone to going down every so often.
I wouldn't use cock.li for anything really personal or important.
>>105790263>>105791063Sounds perfect in that case, I only want to use it to register to certain webpages that I wouldn't with my private e-mail. Thank you.
>>105791063>cock.licheers, but i mean an instant, temporary mailbox. there is some site called disposy.email or something, just generates you a random AbacusBromwellChapter@hypermeganet.nz inbox when you go to the page.
anyone know what i'm talking about? search engines have gone to shit.
>>105791063>it doesn't encrypt your emails by default,It's important to note that NO email provider encrypts your emails by default. The email protocol does not support encryption, full stop.
The only way to send and receive encrypted email is if both participants use an extension on their end to encrypt or decrypt the email. There are open standards for that, like PGP - it's great but if you send PGP encrypted email, the recipient must know how to set up PGP themselves to decrypt it. You can do that over cock.li just fine.
There are also proprietary standards, like whatever protonmail uses and refuses to make open. It also only works if the recipient can decrypt it using the same protocol, except it's not just "install the right software/extension" to handle it, but because it's proprietary it basically ONLY works with protonmail addresses - at least as far as I know. (I might be wrong, but considering you can't set up your own PGP-enabled client for protonmail and need a proprietary "imap bridge", I'm pretty sure that's how it works.)
The only "encrypted email" service is the one where you AND the recipient both agree to encrypt your emails ahead of time. There is no universally encrypted email service, and cock.li is no worse than any other service. The only advantage something like protonmail has over cockli is built-in encryption when sending to other protonmail users, but for all other cases you still have to handle it yourself.

I should've clarified that I mean something like yandex's translate (https://translate.yandex.com/ocr) where it will ''live translate'' any text it finds in an image
the site won't do because I want to translate entire galleries and swapping images constantly would be a hassle
>>105792416it's literally what you want tho?
you launch both programs
press alt+q, select a rectangle around the text you want to translate and you get the translation in 1 second

>>105792549yes that's what I want it to do
>>105792540>press alt+q, select a rectangle around the textthis already is ''too much'' work

I'm thinking of buying an amp, but my limited physics knowledge is gnawing at me. It's a 2x50W + 1x100W, so theoretically it can output 200W. But the power supply it comes with is 24V 4.5A, which is only 108W. What gives?
What the fuck is an "Open Source LLM". It's not fucking open source, are they claiming it it's because you can host it locally?
What the fuck is a LLM? An AI pretrained on a huge dataset? I don't fucking understand this shit
>>105792741It's the max current handling of the individual amp chips vs the max total input the power supply can provide. Another unknown term is if the cooling is good enough to maintain high levels without clipping, though in most small living rooms you're probably sinking <20W into the whole system and you can just run naked chips and it probably won't matter.
I recommend not getting wall plug power supplies from aliexpress.
>>105792741You're not going to be blasting 20Hz bass frequencies 24/7 at maximum amps through the woofer alongside high frequency full saturation waves through the side speakers.
Most power supplies are actually rated to deliver 2x, or 3x their rated amps in bursts. The same is true for the wiring in your home. People say "only ever draw X" but you will find things like hair dryers running at 1600W which exceed that, because they're only run for 10 mins or so.
99% of people buying speakers run them at below 50% volume 99% of the time and when they go above 50% volume, 99% of the time they do not even come close to 75% volume and if they do then 99% of the time they will not do so for prolonged periods of time.
Yes, it probably should have come with a 10A power supply but it'll work with what you're given. If you actually plan to blast it full watts the whole time you will need earmuffs to not go deaf immediately and might consider buying a better power supply.
You're not wrong. It's fine to have this gnawing at you, but not you know why it is the way it is and why it's "possible" for it to be the way it is even though the stickers and specs indicate that it should not be.

>>105793062Linux isn't totally immune to things like viruses but
1) almost viruses are made for Windows because it's the most popular OS.
2) Linux is better designed with software permissions so malicious software is less likely to get into critical parts of your OS.
3) Most software you download on Linux are from repositories which generally do a pretty good job at vetting the packages you download from them.
You have to go out of your way to get malware on your system if you're using Linux.
Is it normal to be having horrible nightmares about working with Java?

>>105791727I don't see why you wouldn't use cockli for steam, twitter and discord either.
The only things I'm not sure I'd use cockli for would be personal communication, as in giving your email to a real person and wanting to make 100% sure they can reach you. In particular, things like friends and family; my IRL boss; recruiters and potential hiring managers with whom I move on past linkedin messages and actually get deeper into the hiring process; contractors I hire (e.g. tradies, builders/plumbers/etc.). Most of these I will consider giving my personal email to (consider, but not always go through with it; if a recruiter seems meh I'll leave them on cockli, for example).
Also my bank is on my personal email but in the past like 14 years (zoomer here so that's as long as I've had my bank account) I don't think I've ever had an email that I actually had to do something actionable and urgent with.
>>105792818Open source LLM usually means the source code used to train it is open. So open source, like any other software, yes.
Sometimes this is conflated with the full weights being open, i.e. letting you host it locally; I'm not sure if there are any examples of LLMs whose weights are public but training code is not, though. Either way this is a slightly interesting case because the weights are often extremely valuable, since it takes an enormous amount of compute to train; some may say that an LLM with weights released but training code proprietary is more "open" in spirit than an LLM with full algorithms and code published but weights not released. The latter is really mostly good for academics to study and improve on, while the former actually makes it "open" for users to run and host.
>What the fuck is a LLM? An AI pretrained on a huge dataset? I don't fucking understand this shitYeah basically that. It's a language prediction AI model, i.e. text generator, that happens to be very large. Because it's so huge, it's basically only considered to be a complete product once it's fully trained, since it costs literally tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in compute power to train it. So technically an LLM is both the architecture of the neural network and the trained version of it, but in practice nobody is going to train the same architecture twice, so all LLMs are basically pre-trained.
>>105792824>The same is true for the wiring in your home. People say "only ever draw X" but you will find things like hair dryers running at 1600W which exceed that, because they're only run for 10 mins or so.This isn't true. Wiring is generally rated for a certain max current, period; and the allowed sustained loads are usually lower than the current rating, e.g. 75% of it or something. If you've got a 10A cable, you shouldn't be drawing 10A from it 24/7.
Now physically speaking, if you draw above the rated current what this means is that the wire might start heating up eventually, so if you only draw a bit above and only for short bursts, it'll probably be fine. The issue is that there's no measured allowance for how much is "fine"; anything above the rated maximum is too much according to the manufacturer. Maybe short bursts are fine but if you keep doing them for years, the insulation will soften and break down faster. And 10 minutes is not a short burst, it's only fine if the wire is really able to conduct that much without really heating up at all; if it does emit heat then over 10 minutes it'll become a hazard.
Also, can burgers really not draw 1600W? Every time this comes up you guys claim you DO have special plugs with enough voltage to run anything needed like appliances or kettles.

>firefoxThe only remaining truly independent browser. But Mozilla is very much a front for an advertising company nowadays.

>>105795802I think the other anon is downplaying the "issue". You could encode almost any random data stenographically, and you could even pad it with noise to make it even more random.
So if there's a specific stenographic method you want to detect, you can probably do so. But if you expect your users to start hiding it better, I don't think it's realistic: you won't be able to make an AI that can detect noise that corresponds to hidden text, AND noise that corresponds to hidden images, AND noise that corresponds to hidden zip files, AND noise that corresponds to encrypted data (i.e. completely random-looking noise) with a short password hidden in the same image, AND noise that corresponds to "any of the above but between every bit insert two bits of randomly generated noise".
That said, on further though, what you could do would be detect unnatural noise in the first place. I think this might be doable reliably. It would probably be a lot harder to hide data inside an image in such a way that it doesn't change any patterns regarding the noise distribution or intensity; even things like JPEG artifacting are quite predictable in nature and it would likely be possible to detect whether it's a natural JPEG encoding or has been artificially modified.

The kernel is only one part of an OS, although it's probably the most important part. The distros differ in which other software packages they include on top of the kernel, along with which package management software and software repositories they use, and how they do update releases.
You've probably read that pasta that goes something along the lines of "What you're referring to Linux is actually GNU + Linux, or as I've taken to calling it, GNU/Linux" and it's true for most Linux distros. The GNU utilities on top of the Linux kernel is what makes "Linux" into a functional operating system.
>>105798539Cock.li doesn't have the best uptime, in fact there have been months of downtime, so it's not best to be used to verify those accounts in case you need to do something like reset your password.
Also several services don't allow you to create accounts from cock.li domains, in that case you'll need an email from a more legitimate provider.
>>105798077It is, and in theory you can take any distro, and install and uninstall a bunch of software to transform it into any other distro.
The main differences though are the package manager used, and consequently also the repos used and any patches applied and configs pre-included.
A consequence of this, but probably major enough to mention separately, is also the effect "pre-applied configs" have on core system packages. Including even the default config of the Linux kernel used by the distro. This is the cause of the most major changes in how distros "work".
To some degree they are also different in the software that's pre-installed but also this is by far the easiest difference to paper over just by uninstalling anything you don't need and installing anything you do need. Most distros also offer "minimal installs" anyway.
When the fuck are we going to get a good programming language? Something like Rust would be nice, but without the bullshit and the community.

I followed the step 'Using Pip/venv (Recommended)' without the virtual machine part. I installed it and I see the folder with everything in it. reinstalling doesn't download or install anything new. I even have the other recommended install stuff.
I assume that's all I needed and when I press run in the folder, it opens a command prompt,displays nothing and closes again.

What's a good tool for keeping track of my PC's component temperatures that actually works without being overwhelming?

>>105796665New disk?
Disks generally die in the first few months, or much later
HOWEVER there is an off chance the disk did not die
I would get a 4gb flash drive, put a linux distro then run in a terminal (there are GUIs, but different DEs/distros have different things for the same info)
lsblk [to get drive if more than one]
Then
Smartctl -a /dev/sdx
Where x is the drive's letter (a if only one SATA drive)
In smartctl you are mainly concerned with ID# NAME (ideal raw value)
5 Reallocated sectors (0)
197 (Current) Pending sectors (0)
198 Uncorrectable sectors (0)
10 Spin retry count (0)
1 Read error rate (low*)
/etc
If you have had bad sectors these will likely be non-zero
If the problem is bad sectors, you will need to "fix" this by recovering files from the disk (the live boot can do this as a disk image, or manually) then reinstalling the OS with a full format, and ~monthly disk checks
If sectors are not the issue, AND the drive is the issue, recover data and dispose of the drive
If it runs linux it is you can probably rule out problems other than the hard drive (except the OS on the drive)
*some drive use odd raw values for read/seek/write errors, use value and threshold for those drives)

Retarded question but does anybody know of a laptop stand that's good for using on the couch... AND which can fold into a bag for carrying?
I have poor posture and often work on my couch. I also travel occasionally, and in those cases there's not always a good desk so I end up working on couches even more. I know there are those table-style stands for beds and couches, but since they include an entire small slab for the table they're impossible to pack and carry when travelling.

Docker containers run always the same on Windows, MacOS and Linux, that's why people use them.
Here's how you can get it working
git clone https://github.com/zyddnys/manga-image-translator
cd manga-image-translator
git reset --hard 3273a97c987453ce809e93a1eee10ea9f376a13a
docker-compose -f demo/doc/docker-compose-web-with-gpu.yml up
After it's done open http://localhost:5003/
But yeah it needs some service to translate it
There is a table in the README
Some are free, some are paid
DeepL is free for translating a few thousand words for example
I'm sure there are some free models too
Some would work better than others, but openAI will probably work quite well
Once you choose which service you want you need to edit the `docker-compose.yml` file and add the appriopriate environment variable with your API key, eg
services:
front:
image: front
build:
context: front
dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
environment:
NODE_ENV: production

I'm reading this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20180826141146/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20110527-00/?p=10553/ regarding storing metadata in alternate data streams in NTFS file systems
It says
>This was a clever idea, taking advantage of NTFS's ability to attach arbitrary data to a file, but it also had a serious problem: Alternate streams are not preserved by simple and common operations like sending the file by email, copying the file to a (FAT-formatted) USB thumb drive, uploading or downloading the file from a Web site, or burning the file to a CD. Basically, once the file leaves the comfortable confines of your local hard drive, there's a good chance that the metadata will be destroyed.
But then it says
>The data you added in Windows 2000 are still there. It's just that newer versions of Windows don't bother looking for them. (If you were sufficiently resourceful, you could write a program which opens the file in STGFMT_FILE mode, reads the properties, then reopens the file via the shell namespace and writes the properties back out.)
So which is it? If there's a file that has metadata written to it in the alternate data stream, and I move it to a FAT32 or a TrueNAS drive or something, then back to an NTFS drive, will the Alternate Data Stream metadata still be there?
Also, does writing metadata to a file, be it in the normal fields or the alternate data stream, change the file hash or checksum?
>>105803459The destination the file was copied to has to also support ADS (NTFS, correctly configured CIFS server), or you could use a storage format which supports ADS like RAR to serialize it. Otherwise ADS are discarded.
>truenasProbably. samba can do it anyway. Read the manual.
>does it change checksumChecksum is data only. If you see an ADS checksum it'll be annotated like file:stream DEADBEEF

>>105804275VRR technologies are all an attempt to get masses hooked on copium while also investing in copium stocks.
If you don't become a copiod slave you don't have to pay any attention to VRR slop.
The only time VRR ever matters is when you have highly fluctuating framerates. Basically, when you're a dumb nigger playing AAA games or trying to play good games on 7 generations old hardware that can't maintain 60FPS on a 60Hz screen.
VRR makes dips into 40FPS on 60Hz better, but it offers nothing if your computer can exceed 60FPS and limit itself via VSYNC in the first place.
For VRR to offer anything of value you must spend a significant portion of your time playing games at framerates below your monitor's refresh rate. In addition to that, you must also be incapable of running VSYNC at even 1/2 of your monitor's refresh rate. So for example if you have a 144Hz display, and you cannot run your game at 72FPS+ (with VSYNC at 72Hz) then you will want VRR. If you can manage 72FPS you won't benefit at all from VRR.

In KDE if you change the main colour the icons of certain default folders change to that colour (see pic).
Are the icons thus generated stored somewhere I can copy them from? I know the default icons are stored in /usr/share/icons, but they all have the base colour.
>>105806779it depends on how it changes the colours. i haven't looked into how kde is doing that, but considering linux icons are svg's (often also rendered into png's for performance but available as svg for other arbitrary sizes), it's possible the svg's are made in a way that allows for external control over colours. (i did a search for "svg variables" and it that does appear to be a thing)
again though i haven't looked into what kde is doing here. being foss you can find the exact code responsible for this, but my point is is that it could be altering the svg and rendering it on the fly and not actually generating new coloured png's for you to grab out of some folder, though it could also be doing that as well, like an icon cache
>>105806896I see, I guess I could just copy them and alter their hue, although it would be a bit laborious.

>that could break things like bootloader configuration.That's my main concern, but none of the guides for changing the VSN online say anything about that being a possibility.
>it depends on why you're doing itSome shitty online game I used to play uses hardware fingerprinting to detect multiple accounts and from my research, either the VSN (which can easily be changed) or the actual hardware serial number of the drive (which can't easily be changed) is the main component of that fingerprinting.

Surely people sell paired USB wireless dongle/receiver things, right? So like if I have a USB hub, and I plug a keyboard into the hub, then want a wireless connection from the hub to my PC, i'd plug one wireless thing into the hub, and another in my PC to connect them wirelessly, right?
But whenever I google "wireless USB dongle" or "paired wireless USB reciever" or something similar, I'm not seeing anything like that. I AM seeing listings for single dongles/receivers, but I don't understand how a single one is helpful: So I'd plug that into the PC, and then how does that connect to the other device I want linked to it?
Am I missing something obvious?
