why do websites suddenly slow to a crash when I finally reach the page I need?

Can websites or any other thing I connect to over the internet see my PC's hostname?

How do I use a higher then 1080p laptop display in a way that resizes/scales text and menus to a usable size, that DOESN'T rescale images or videos and material you actually want to be set/viewed at a specific resolution?

>Set Windows scaling, text size, etc to 100%: image/video content is fine, but Menus, UI, and text is too small
>Set Windows scaling to 150%: Menus and text is scaled to a good scale, but it scales up images even when trying to view them at their true resolution within all or at least some applications (EX a web browser: not just the images within/on a web page where them scaling with menus and text makes sense, but even if you have an image as it's own url, in it's own tab, and click the magnifying glass to view it's native size, it is still scaled up from the windows scale setting)
>Set Windows scaling to 100%, but windows text size to 150%: Text size is usable, but menus and UI elements are still unscaled, AND images are still getting scaled for some reason

Surely there's got to be a way to do this, since artists, photographers, etc need to be able to view their images at their actual native resolution?

>>105920258
Seems like text scaling only scales up images in web browsers, not dedicated image editing and viewing programs

I would still really prefer a solution that doesn't scale up standalone image urls in a web browser and still does allow me to increase the size of the windows taskbar and other UI elements though

>>105920703
>>105920258
I was somehow (I honestly don't know how I did it) able to get the universal scaling setting to not apply to image editing/viewing programs, but it still applies to image urls open in a web browser

I suspect this is as good as I'm gonna get this, but if anybody else has thoughts or advice, let me know

I finally figured out the nature of my sub issue, now I need to figure out what I can do about it.

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/14271
>subs of this particular structure work fine in all other players
>it could be fixed to work in mpv with minimal effort and zero consequence (in fact it already does what other players do if the sub is external)
>but this particular structure is technically disobeying the standard of the subtitle format so we're not gonna do shit
What absolute fuckasses.

My options seem to be:
>use a different player (I liked MPC but I've moved to linux and don't like the other options)
>avoid the release group that routinely has subs like that (I prefer their encodes aside from this issue)
>download external subs every time (tedious and opensubtitles has been getting shittier and shittier)
>unpack the subs to be loaded externally (I need to learn how to do this and hopefully it's just a single generalized command)
Anything else?

What is the best way to move with CRTs? I have a 17" and 24" Trinitron that aren't obscenely heavy but I don't know the best practices to make sure they don't get destroyed. I swear you used to be able to get special moving boxes for them but of course those aren't around anymore.

does the "factory reset a new phone" method still work for mass creating gmail accounts?
it detects emulators now right? so i need to use physical phones?

>>105921033
it's pretty hard to physically damage a crt. back in the day i would just take the stand/base off or flip it upside down, throw some moving blankets over the monitors and just making sure all the heavy furniture in the truck is well strapped down. you could throw bubble wrap around the sides if you're worried about something slamming into it.

I'm fixing a PC and the SSD is definitely in read only mode. So it has to go. Thing is, I don't know if that's the only thing that's wrong with the laptop.

How naughty do you have to be to get IP banned by YouTube? I've been using yt-dlp, mpv, NewPipe, FreeTube, the works for several years now, even did some entire channel downloads, and haven't gotten any major trouble yet.

>>105921722
I've never had issues downloading shit from youtube. Twitter will get on your ass for very little tho

>>105921684
It does bear asking whether you actually need a fully vertical mouse. I find the subtle slope of an ergonomic mouse is enough if there are also proper rests for the ring and pinky fingers and you resolve any pressure points impacting nerves (wrist or forearm). Like there's no such thing as a vertical keyboard, ergonomic ones just have a subtle slope and if you're doing kb/m tasks you can just shove a wedge under one side of the keyboard to get a slope for the one hand on it.

>>105921722

I just upgraded my arch install and after it was done (I'm sure it finished) I managed to accidentally cut the power from my pc. Now at grub when it first tries to load initramfs it says "you need to load kernel first", then kernel panics. At the blue kernel panic screen it says "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". Didn't have time to try to chroot into arch from live usb, will try tomorrow though. Any ideas what to do when I do? I'm afraid I corrupted something related to encryption, since my drive is LUKS encrypted (/root and /home, not /boot).

Pic is not my pc althought same kernel panic screen style.

Does 1080p look worse on a 2k screen than it would on a 1080p screen?
I have a laptop with a 1080p screen, and if I set the resolution in game for anything below that (like 1600x900), it looks very blurry. I'm not sure if this is simply because it's a lower resolution, or if it's because the pixels don't align as good with the physical pixels on my screen?
And if it's the latter, should I avoid buying a laptop with a 2k screen?

>>105922097
4chanX was bugging out for me like 2 days ago. 4chan itself works fine though.

>>105920231

>>105923209
The kernel didn't had time to sync dirty writes to the disk probably, most filesystems have some utility to correct themselves to a working state even if some data was lost but with encryption on top I just hope you had backups.

>>105923249
It depends on the upscaling algorithm but 2k on a laptop is just silly to begin with.

>>105923315
>2k on a laptop is just silly to begin with
I agree, but I found that most upper mid-tier laptops are 2k.
>upscaling algorithm
I assume that's dictated by the graphics drivers? I currently have a lower-end AMD CPU with an iGPU, so maybe the drivers aren't that good and that's why it looks blurry?
There are also programs look blurry at all times, even if they're not fullscreen. A common example would be some installers (Windows).
Some of these problems aren't present in Linux, though I haven't tested this too much.

To the Anon who suggested that my Razer Basilisk broke because too much gay.
It seems like you were right, turning off the RGB seems to have fixed the issue.
Gues it draws too much current on default settings and enters a sort of bootloop, always drawing an overcurrent and crashing until its left without power for a couple hours. What the hell is going on at Razer QC?

But I'm still wondering why it worked fine on a boring old Dell Latitude and not my fancy gaymen motherboard that even allows increasing USB voltage.

>>105923463
Games let you choose how to upscale but other apps depend on the driver settings, on Linux it depends on a lot of other stuff but it's more consistent.

how tf do you do this?

>>105923249
>it's because the pixels don't align as good with the physical pixels on my screen?
Correct. A good upscaling algorithm can try to make it look as good as possible but it'll always be an approximation.

>>105923990
I was always of the opinion that it makes no difference, but I tried this recently with an old Samsung TV and the sound was extremely distorted, as if compressed to 32 kbit/s MP3.
You're at the mercy of whatever DAC is in the monitor, and it is likely that they used the cheapest and shittiest one available since the DAC is never listed on the spec sheet, nor reviewed by anyone.

Got ryzen 7 9800x3d. Temperature in games are around 70c, idles around 50c and tested under full load it quickly caps on 95c and stays there. I did read the chip runs pretty hot, but the full load is bit concerning. Are those temps ok? Fan is be quiet dark rock elite.

>>105923298
Does dirty writes mean cached writes? How would I go on with this?

>>105923298
If the disk is encrypted you just have to decrypt it and then run the fsck or whatever. Once the LUKS container is open the filesystem should be exactly the same as an unencrypted one, and will have all the same journalling data etc
>>105923209
>>105925229
It sounds like grub is fucked, I think easiest fix would be to chroot with a live USB yeah. First luksOpen the drive and fsck it just to be safe. Then update grub maybe reinstall it or something, it's been ages since I've used grub but I'm sure you'll figure out how to fix it.

How do you use git worktree?
When I heard of it, I thought it was some mechanism to switch between different "working states" at will, without having to commit/stash anything. But from what I can see, you need to specify an explicit path for it, and moreover most examples seem to use a sibling folder (e.g. if you're working in /home/me/big-work-monorepo/, the man page and examples I've seen would have you do git worktree ../work-monorepo-worktree-1 which would create a new folder in my home dir).

At that point what even is the advantage compared to just re-cloning the repository to that separate dir?

Your idle temps are high too. When you installed it you did remember to take the little plastic protector off the bottom of the heatsink right?
What monitoring software are you using? I'd double check that and your drivers/sensors to make sure your temps are accurate. Also watch and see if the chip is thermal throttling, sounds likely at full load.

Question from me - Even after installing a game from Steam, isn't it fairly common on first launch that they need to connect to the internet to get other dependencies?
I'm pretty sure that's often the case but wanted to check.

>>105923209
Your problem likely isn't grub, sounds like the root filesystem is corrupt. I'm assuming you were using EXT4.
I don't know shit about LUKS but you'll need to verify integrity of both the encryption and the underlying filesystem - Use fsck for that.

i haven't really benchmarked usb3, but usb2 at least has a lot of overhead, like the "480Mbps" it claims is the raw symbol rate, not how much you can actually transfer through it yourself. usb2 can on paper do 60MiB/s, but you're not going to actually see more than about 40MiB/s yourself, because that 60 is including all the overhead from things like framing and encoding, bytes you were never going to be able to use

>the advantage compared to just re-cloning the repo
If you clone twice, you end up with two separate, independent repos. Apart from the obvious data duplication, it would be a pain to share patches between branches, to rebase or to stash things.
If you use worktrees, you end up with one repo that has two branches checked out at the same time.

Imagine you're working on a branch adding a new feature to master, and then suddenly have to switch to v2.0 in order to fix an urgent bug.
You could tidy up your current working directory, commit stuff in a hurry, stash crap, and so on. Then you'd check out V2.0, branch from it, fix the bug, and then... what? If you want to resume working on the feature, you have new shit to stash, then checkout the feature branch, then unstash old shit. Then your bugfix fails some test, and you have to fix a minor typo – repeat the whole dance.
Or you can simply go to the other worktree directory, check out v2.0, fix the bug, and `cd` back to your initial work tree to continue working on the feature. Every switch between these two work-in-progress contexts is a simple directory change, extremely trivial.

>>105929070
I get why having two copies on different branches is useful. What I'm asking is why a worktree rather than a second checkout.
>Apart from the obvious data duplication,
I guess one copy of the .git dir is indeed a benefit, but it would take a truly massive project to have the git dir be bigger than a few hundred MB imo.
>it would be a pain to share patches between branches, to rebase or to stash things.
How exactly does the worktree help here? Sorry if I'm being retarded, I'm just failing to grasp the usecase.

>>105929127
With worktrees, your git commands always reference the same branches in the same state no matter which worktree you happen to be in.
So `git diff HEAD^^ feature/foo` will always produce the same output no matter the work tree.
The same is not true for independent copies of the same repo, since these copies diverge with each operation.

>>105929283
I assume your example is poorly thought out, because if git diff HEAD [...] produces the same output in two different worktrees then that seems to defeat their entire purpose.
But I think I get it - the point is to share the same git repo state while diverging the worktree and staging states. (Staging isn't shared, right?) So you share things like local branches and the stash list, and save space on not having two full copies of the git internal repo objects (only two full copies of the current working state, or well divergent copies I suppose).

I would like to "get in" to AI, but dont know where to start.
Any recommendations? Im curious what other "serious" types there are other than LLMs, and how they all work under the hood.

>>105931432
Machine learning is probably the general category you want ("AI" at its broadest is not super well defined and includes even static algorithms, like a video game enemy AI for example). ML has also not had its search results poisoned so you should be able to find more info and the different categories and go from there.

If I remember my university courses correctly, though, there's basically two main types, which is statistical ML and neural networks. Statistical methods are extremely wide and basically lots and lots of maths - regression models like gaussian process, classifiers like SVMs, and many many more cool mathematical concepts.
Neural networks are very simple and basically render everything else nearly irrelevant because they can do everything if you throw enough computing power at them. LLMs are a specific type of neural network, but there's plenty of different ones.

>>105931882
Thank you for the quality answer. Since you seem to know some about the topic, would you mind explaining what a neural network is? And what are the prerequisites required for an honest attempt at understanding the topic

>>105931893
Sure, a neural network is just a graph of artificial "neurons" which are modelled as follows: each neuron has some input connections and some output connections, and an associated function called the activation function. To compute the result of the network, each neuron combines all of its outputs together (usually using a weighted sum) and pass them to the activation function; you then send the output of that to each of your outbound connections.
A neural network of a single neuron is called a perceptron. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neuron
I mentioned they use weighted sums - the weights associated with each input connection for each individual neuron are typically the things whose values are changed by "training"; you may have heard about neural network weights or LLM weights before. That's what these are.
The real complexity comes in the choice of how you build and connect your graphs of neurons, and the function choices for your activation functions and shit. There's all kinds of shit advanced neural networks do nowadays - an important one is neurons, or groups of neurons, feeding back into themselves with the activation functions chosen such that previous values (now being fed into the next tick) have a large influence on the output, effectively creating "memory" cells.

The real complex subject in NNs is how you set the weights, i.e. training. Typically this uses a process called gradient descent: you start with random weights, then you shift them all randomly a little bit and see if the answer gets better. If it does, you shift them more in this direction, plus a bit more random perturbation again to make sure you explore different "directions" of shifting, and again see if the answer gets better, and keep following the direction that gives better and better answers.

You can honestly just go from here and stop whenever the actual maths gets too complicated.

even old games can cause your cpu or gpu (usually gpu) to get maxed out, namely if you render them with no framecap or vsync, the gpu will simply render more frames until it hits 100% utilisation
try running with a framecap and see if it still crashes, i.e. bring your gpu usage down so it uses less power.
not enough power could theoretically do that, like if the gpu or something else browns out, the session could die, which depending on the distro might cause the DM to to restart and go back to the login screen. not enough power can do a lot of weird things.

They're often called wago because that's the brand that made them first, they're like american wire nuts but for Europeans so superior in every way.

I was considering asking this in the Game Engine Development thread, but I'm not really sure.
I am trying to animate an SVG in my browser (I'm using gsap for the animation).

I have two frames, one with the characters leg down and another where I have taken the exact same image and moved the leg.
I did not remove or add any nodes, I've only moved them.
My intention is to have the same nodes from one path move to their "new" positions in frame 2, where the a node from frame 1 goes to "itself" in frame 2.
I have attached a webm which shows the problem. Rather than align the same nodes from frame 1 to the same nodes in frame 2, gsap seems to try and "solve" by itself.

I have attempted 3 solutions:
1. I iterated through all paths in the SVG using gsap.to with the morphSVG extension (the attached webm)
2. I did the same as the first but without morphSVG by setting the d= parameter directly (it was considerably worse)
3. I set up an <animate> parameter inside the <path> of a simple SVG. With very small changes to a single layer this seems to work but often the animation fails and it just instantly switches between frame 1 and 2 at the half-way point in transition time.

I've tried searching for the answer online, and querying LLMs but I find difficulty in even explaining the problem. The image seems to start at frame 1, disassociate, then gradually reform into frame 2.

Even if someone doesn't know the solution, does anyone know how I can even explain to an LLM or search engine what the problem is?
Maybe someone knows what's causing it in the first place?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

So the solution is to get a new GPU or send PC to get inspected and potentially repaired?
The 10+ year old games and Wizard101 and Pirate101. Nostalgia is holding my happiness hostage at the moment.

>>105934116
>new GPU
>thought I typed new psu
I mean new PSU but hopefully it doesn't mean new GPU. I haven't had this PC for a full year.

>>105934121
you don't have access to another psu to drop in and test with? maybe borrow one from another computer? it's a bit of a hassle to swap out a psu temporarily but it's good to rule it out.
really though, if it's consistently dropping back to the login screen and nothing else, it may not be the psu. i would expect less consistent behaviour or just full reboots/the computer just turning off
i would also test with another gpu and just to rule it out, a memory test (bad memory can also cause tons of weird behaviour, sometimes consistent)

>>105934142
>you don't have access to another psu to drop in and test with?
No I don't as far as I know.
>potential bad memory
I'm not sure about that to be honest, but I can give it a try. I'm considering just sending the PC to a computer repair shop after emailing about my problem.

>>105934222
just be careful they aren't the kind who'll give it back to you with a fresh copy of windows. really i would take your storage drives out... not that i'd personally ever take a computer to a repair shop (i'm the kind people bring their computer to).
speaking of, you should also rule out a software issue, like install your os to a spare drive and run a game from there, see if it does the same thing

hm, i never really thought about how things like 3D printing would affect board/tabletop games

have you tried with a framelimit just to see if it makes a difference? if the game for some reason doesn't have any options for it, you can use libstrangle or mangohud to impose a framelimit instead. i haven't personally run into an issue where running a game kicks me back to the login screen, so i don't have anything more specific to try

Downloading a single video or a small handful using a third party "twitter video downloader" site is fine, but using shit like yt-dlp, wget, wdownloader, etc to get dozens, hundreds, or thousands of images, even with slow download rates, tends to cause issues, I've had my account restricted or suspended quite a few times from it

Playing Kingdome Come Deliverence 2 and there's "trailing graphics" on movement, don't know how to describe it. It's very noticeable on the sharpening wheel (lines of the sword blade kind of get attached to the rotating stone and fade away).

I've turned of AI fake frames and don't use any upscaling.

Can I turn this off somehow or do we just live with these kind of graphic trails now in modern games?

Current Dell and LG high end displays are 5-8k. 5k will filter into gaymershit as soon as high refresh rate controllers come out. The bandwidth for uncompressed 5k/144Hz is already there with DP2.

>>105936073
TAA perhaps? They will use that if you aren't using dlss/fsr. If you don't want the upscaling, then use DLAA or FSR AA/native
There're mods to update the dlss/dlaa or fsr (AA) versions too

>>105937352
5k makes no sense. It's weird scaling with minimal benefit over 4k.
A lot of gamers are still on 1440p. In fact a lot are still on 1080p but that's mainly poorfags probably using old office monitors; but among people who buy a "gaming screen" and spend a bit more to get a high refresh rate and stuff, 1440p is still a very popular middle ground. The RTX3060 is still the most popular GPU, it's a two generations old bottom of the line model.

Things are definitely moving forward, and maybe in 3-4 years the most popular budget GPU from a couple of gens ago will be able to comfortably handle 4k, and 4k screens at 144Hz+ will be midrange-tier such that downgrading to 1440p won't really make sense anymore. But we're not quite there yet, and getting a 4k gaming screen right now still involves taking a compromise on refresh rate OR paying a pretty significant price premium.

And 4k has an integer scaling advantage, so it's versatile. 5k doesn't. 1440p doesn't either but it's a middle ground that became popular after people started wanting more than 1080p, and it's about halfway between the two; 5k might become useful once 4k is ubiquitous and even mid-range users start looking for something more, but even then it's not actually halfway between 4k and 8k.

Also, at typical screen sizes, 4k is going to be at optimal PPI for most people. Higher res screens only make sense with huge screens or if you're sitting extremely close to it. I think one thing we're not gonna see is an explosion in huge screens - normies are not gonna start buying 48'' monitors to put on their desks. TVs, yes, but monitors no, and so far these have stayed as very separate markets.

>>105937483
>And 4k has an integer scaling advantage, so it's versatile. 5k doesn't.
You have this backwards. 5k is 2x1440 for desktop purposes. 4k video looks fine fractionally scaled to 5k at 200ppi. Static graphics are the issue not video.

And yeah it'll be a weird specialty in high end gaming in the next 1-3 years before it inevitably becomes the standard 27" monitor. 4k won't be dead until 8k starts to filter down, but that's probably beginning 3-5 years out. 240Hz 8k with DSC is already possible.

>>105937659
>5k is 2x1440 for desktop purposes.
Everything is a multiple of something else, this is irrelevant. Most low-end content is 1080p and most high-end content is 4k. That's why 1440p has a scaling disadvantage, and making it 2x1440p has the exact same problem.
Fractionally scaled video looks "fine" but it will always be at a disadvantage compared to integer scaling.

>before it inevitably becomes the standard 27" monitor.
I doubt it due to the angular resolution limits. 4k at 27'' is already borderline overkill unless you sit like one foot away from your monitor. 5k might be popular at 32'' maybe.

Okay. I got it working. I used fsck on all the partitions, on /boot it said something that it "doesn't match the backup" so I let it overwrite it. On /root it gave me long list of things it did. I rebooted after and it jumped straight to kernel panic (no "you need to load kernel first" message this time). I went on to decrypt, mount, and arch-chroot to my /root. I ran updates and since there wasn't kernel update it didn't rebuild initramfs, so I did mkinitcpio -p linux myself. After this I had a problem with luksclose, tried fuser etc but it didn't give me anything. Just ended up rebooting and it worked. I know there's the initramfs and grub in /boot (atleast) which are important for booting, so since grub worked I just figured why not build the other.

Is repeated distro hopping bad for a PC in the long run?
Can't find anything about it.

>>105939050
No, the PC doesn't care
Maybe the worst impact of it is the write cycles if you have an SSD due to reinstalling the root partition all the time, but it's really not that much, and no different to downloading a lot of movies or whatever

>>105937394
Thanks, turning of AA helps but doesn't take away all trailing completely. I think it's not right for games to use all these letter combinations and expecting the player to just know what they mean or look up every one of them, they should explain them in-game.

Tried changing things in nvidia's control panel outside the game but couldn't find how to remove the trailing (maybe it's called ghosting?). I don't know if those settings do anything, if I need to restart the game after every changed setting in the control panel it's useless (because I dont have time for that amount of waiting).

>>105939536
You could try the updated dlss/dlaa/fsr/fsr-AA mod to see if it reduces the ghosting some more.

>>105939665
Thanks but I don't want to deal with mods. I think something like this should be fixable without mods, but maybe it's built into cryengine.

>>105939764
Oh actually, if you have an nvidia gpu then you can override the it via the nvidia app. For amd, I think it can be done in a similar way past fsr 3.1

>>105939861
Might be too big of a question but what am I supposed to change?
I tested changing something and I didn't notice any difference in the game, couldn't even cap the fps to 30 via the nvidia app so I don't think it works.

>>105939912
The nvidia app is separate from the control panel

Great, now I need to decide if I should bloat my system with something that may not even work or if I should just live with how the developers want the game to look.

Apple says that one would need to alter the physical makeup of the Secure Enclave in order to extract biometric data from it because of the way it works. They also later pushed out a software update that changed the way it works, now allowing devices with Face ID to be unlocked in landscape mode in addition to portrait.
In doing this, did they not also prove that they could, at least theoretically, change how the Secure Enclave works in a way that allows extraction of the information it holds? And how do we know they haven't already done this? How can we be sure Face ID and Touch ID data is actually staying on the device the way Apple says it is, and not leaving through some back door we haven't found yet?

Why can't they make rechargeable batteries that put out 1.5v? In the form of AAs. Eneloops put out 1.2v. (I realize they aren't what they used to be). Is it an issue of the chemical makeup of the battery?

>>105943654
i used to avoid rechargeables because of this as well, thinking they wouldn't be able to power high drain stuff as long, but that's before i learned more about it
yes, they're 1.2v because of different chemistry, but it's actually not as big a difference as you'd think, because the discharge curves are also very different. 1.5v alkaline's are only 1.5v when they're brand new, and they average more like 1.2v, while a nihm rechargeable is basically 1.2v until they're dead. this can mess with battery level indicators in some devices

>>105943693
>this can mess with battery level indicators in some devices
by this i mean if it has a battery level indicator, which are based on voltage, and the device assumed alkaline chemistry, it might show the battery as about half full basically all the time until it's nearly flat, but that's only a visual thing, it doesn't mean it won't run just as long

why is python always like this, every minor update of the language or some lib and everything falls apart

>>105943670
so the whole "bro you need to always have 50 gb left" was some broscience shit?

>>105943661
when a drive is near full in general, this can result in heavier fragmentation, which can reduce performance. on an ssd, in addition to fragmentation it can also cause higher write amplification, which reduces performance and increases wear, and also reduces the space available for pseudo-slc cache, which reduces performance
you can fill an ssd safely, but i'd only recommend that for a drive you don't write to often.

>>105943450
>-cheap shit's still fullhd, not uhd
Cheap shit is still wsxga+ and fullhd is enough for 22-27", therefore 2k can never take off.
>-uhd enough for everyone on 27-32"
Fractional scaling looks like shit. Only bing bing wahoo droolers want UHD in 27-32"
>What do you even *do* with 8k on a 27 inch monitor?
I don't think there's much call for a 325ppi desktop screen Anon. 5k at 27" / 220ppi would let you do away with anti-aliasing and make upscaling look less bad. People experience the 'retina' effect all the time on mobile devices and somehow can't fathom it on a desktop.

>>105943754
>fullhd is enough for 22-27",
It isn't but UHD is. Remember that "Linux can't render fonts"-thing? It got fixed by UHD as no more tricks required -> the resolution is enough.

>>105943654
>>105943693
also, they do actually make rechargeables that put out 1.5v, in the form of lithium-ion. li-ion chemistry actually puts out a nominal 3.6v, so they have to include a regulator circuit in the cell to drop it to 1.5v, but because of this they can put out a constant 1.5v

>>105943734
is 50gb of remaining disk space good enough?

>>105943781
it depends mainly on the average size of the files you're writing to it i'd say, though i'm not aware of a specific rule of thumb. 50G should be plenty to minimise the effects i mentioned however

>>105943781
>>105943784
-- also, if you're happy with the performance then it's not a big deal. you just have to be aware that if things feel slower than usual, it could be because it's too full

>>105943781
and don't split off a 50G partition for it either btw, while this will ensure there's space for the pseudo-slc cache, it won't save you from fragmentation and the write amplification that results from fragmentation, as that's a filesystem issue, i.e. it's about the filesystem being full rather than the ssd itself

I think I'm literally retarded when it comes to installing WLAN drivers. This is the third motherboard/PCI-E network adapter I've bought and failed to get onboard wifi to work and just capitulate and use a USB adapter. I just built a mini ITX build with a gigabyte b650i aorus Ultra (rev 1.3) and it uses a Realtek 8852 as its BT/WLAN card. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, I've attached and reattached the provided antenna, I've enabled the network stack in the BIOS, I've disabled, re-enabled, and uninstalled the devices over and over and over again. Is there anything I might be missing? I feel like I'm just running in circles on this one. Every reddit post I read and every youtube video I watch just shows them getting the drivers working in one go. Am I just cursed? Is there anything else I should be trying?

Those wouldn't support 16:9 either, which is by far the more popular aspect ratio.
>aren't there?
No.

>got a cheap piece of shit tv that came with no installation instructions

>back of the tv says 45W power consumption and 240V OR 12V input
which cable do I plug in the wall? The permanently attached one or the adapter? Maybe both? I've never seen a tv with 2 power cords and I don't want it to blow up in my face because I gave it double the needed power

I'm running the adapter into my computer's capture card and the software didn't have any option to make it 4:3. I ended up buying a different adapter that allows output to 4:3 but I'm still worried that when I start recording the vhs that the visual will be 4:3 but the actual video will be 16:9.

It just dawned on me that (aside from allowing corpos to tie your internet history and accounts to your real ID) one big reason corpos are pushing for age checks is so adults can't just skirt around ads and tracking by clicking on "I'm under 13, you can't track me"

It's entirely possible that the OS itself transforms the data into a way that would be equivalent to the portrait mode, so that the enclave can process it. I have no idea how the FaceID scanners work, but in principle rotating the data doesn't seem like it would be impossible.

That said it's also entirely possible that they might also be able to update the enclave's firmware.
>Apple says that one would need to alter the physical makeup of the Secure Enclave in order to extract biometric data from it because of the way it works.
This can plausibly be just ambigious enough that it could mean "currently, assuming Apple does not change its functionality through an update, an enclave's data cannot be extracted except physically". Apple would likely be the only ones able to do the update (if updates are possible, there'd definitely be a hardcoded signing key authenticating updates and only allowing ones from Apple - unless the key gets leaked of course), so one could imagine they could say "if someone wanted access, the only way is physical (unless we change the way it works, but we have no plans to do that :)) currently :))"

>>105943724
No, it used to be real, but it was so ubiquitous and SSD makers realised people trashing their disks due to not being super careful was bad PR (at a time when SSDs were also significantly more expensive than HDDs), so it became a standard feature to include a bit of extra capacity hidden from the user. So nowadays you can use 100% of the capacity the SSD claims to have, and it will have an extra 50gb or whatever spare under the hood and you don't need to worry about it.

>>105945268
I assume the easiest way is to contact a streamer, work out a business deal, and maybe sign a contract even if it's a simple one. Then you send your crypto and they stream the game
>My idea is to have some place where people can post their VODs and I post proof of the deposit.
These kinds of automated marketplaces sound cool but nobody in the real world ever uses them. You'd also need escrow and stuff so the streamers can trust that you'll pay up, and basically just an IRL legal contract is much much easier and safer in practice, unless you're specifically targeting cryptobro streamers who are already all in on the autism or something

Again you can always just change the TV display, or, if you're recording to a file, you can rescale the file later. VHS is not a paragon of visual quality anyway so the scale-rescale would likely have very minimal impact on the final quality.
>that allows output to 4:3 but I'm still worried that when I start recording the vhs that the visual will be 4:3 but the actual video will be 16:9.
Where are you recording? If it's an HDMI capture card or something, and the adapter is outputting 4:3, then the recorded video will be the 4:3 output

>>105948046
Nobody does this, to my knowledge at least. Ad blockers are like 10% of the market (or used to be like ten years ago, no idea what the figure is now), "I'm 13 and you can't track me" probably makes up less than 1%. Anyone who wants to block ads will use a blocker, any normie who's fine with seeing ads won't bother

>>105948319
Depends what you want to spend your time on. Note that printing PCBs is super cheap and easy nowadays, using something like jlcpcb or similar services, so most of the effort will be in learning kicad and figuring out how to actually design it.
Considering you're making it from scratch already rather than just repurposing one of the five trillion existing controllers on the market, it sounds like a hobby project that's already mostly for fun, so why not learn PCB design while you're at it?

>>105945773
>the controller will find a use for it on various occasions
That must mean the controller recognizes and understands GPT, right? Can it usually understand standard filesystems as well, or not? I.e., will it utilize unused storage that belongs to a formatted partition?

>>105948662
>must mean the controller recognizes and understands GPT
No, but it knows exactly which regions are unused because the OS issues discard commands for them (on modern filesystems, that is). That unused 1GB guarantees that nothing wrote to that region, and the controller can allocate it in case of emergency to substitute a dying region even if your filesystems are misconfigured or full or don't issue discards.
Overprovisioning does indeed make this practice obsolete, but how many drives are overprovisioned? If your SSD is 256/512/1024 GB then there is exactly zero excess capacity. It would need to be less than a power of two capacity, such as pic related.

>>105949101
>It would need to be less than a power of two capacity,
I don't remember the last time a storage device of any sort had a power of two capacity in the past couple of decades.

Yeah, no. 4:3 resolutions (640:480, 800:600, or 1024:768 if you had a nice monitor) were by far the most common.

>>105946917
We're reaching levels of zoomzoom I didn't even think were possible.

>>105949191
You are confusing the converted units of measurement (MB vs MiB) and flash capacity.
Almost all SSDs are strictly a power of two capacity, exposed by the controller in its entirety. Manufacturers often provide software to control the amount of overprovisioned space, but it will come out of that round number: there is no magical extra flash for this purpose.

>>105949945
>You are confusing the converted units of measurement (MB vs MiB) and flash capacity.
No, it's usually the drive brands that confuse these.
In any case, my point is that when they manufacture a 930GB drive there's no reason they couldn't manufacture a 960GB one instead and have 30GB overprovisioning capacity. There's no magical "power of two" here dictated by I dunno flash chip foundries or whatever.
And when they say it's "1024 decimal GB", the entire point is those are decimal GBs, it's not a power of two either. It's 930 real GBs, going by power of twos. If the issue was the 1024 fake GBs, then it's not a power of two issue, it's a power of ten issue, and the 1024 number is equally meaningless: if it was "round" it'd have been 1000, but they are already manufacturing 1024 completely arbitrarily, and they could make it 1054 equally arbitrarily with no issues.

>Manufacturers often provide software to control the amount of overprovisioned space, but it will come out of that round number: there is no magical extra flash for this purpose.
Really? I was pretty sure that the capacity exposed by SSDs is intended to be the actual usable capacity. Overprovisioning for wear levelling is absolutely crucial to SSD lifespans, and I thought manual overprovisioning stopped being a thing like 15 years ago. Am I completely wrong on this?

>>105949287
>>105949263
Nevermind, it worked after I deleted my cookies. Didn't wanna do it cause it would log me out o other stuff but the youtube comments not loading was pricking me like a splinter

I thought it was another anti adblock measure too but the lack of noise made me unsure. wanted to confirm here in case anyone experienced the same thing

Honestly they could end up implementing something like this

>>105949867
You are wrong. Most PCs in use at the time didn't even support that resolution.
Doom, Wolfenstein, Prince of Persia, Command & Conquer, Worms...
Quake had a higher resolution option, but also supported 320x200 since most computers were limited to that.

>>105950030
>overprovisioning stopped being a thing like 15 years ago
Yeah... no.

>>105950218
I wonder what's in that tab, though. Does it say 0% overprovisioning by default? Does it claim you can use 100% of the physical capacity if you turn off that userspace setting?

>https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/blog/ssd-over-provisioning-and-benefits/
>Most SSDs utilize overprovisioning, especially those designed for high-performance or enterprise applications. Typically, SSDs intended for individual use may have a smaller amount of over-provisioned space compared to enterprise-grade SSDs, which require greater endurance and reliability.
>Different SSD brands and models implement over-provisioning in various ways. Some manufacturers may allocate a fixed percentage of the drive’s total capacity, while others allow users to adjust the amount of over-provisioned space based on their needs.
Also I found at least a few places, including that Seagate blog, explicitly saying that NAND chips use real GB, so a 930GB drive will actually have the full 1024GB physical capacity and the ~7% of so difference is available to the controller as overprovisioning.

>install firefox on my work pc (win 11)

>>105950175
You're talking about games that came out in 1992-1993, not 1997.

>>105950435
>NAND chips use real GB, so a 930GB drive will actually have the full 1024GB physical capacity
...as I kept repeating in this very thread.
NAND chips come in power-of-two capacities (expressed in Megabits), so it's physically impossible for the finished SSD to have non-power-of-two capacity, even expressed in Terabytes/Gigabytes.
Thanks for digging actual sources, I was lazy.

>>105950640
My entire point is that you get built-in overprovisioning from this. The 930GB drives have an actual terabyte (TiB if you want to be a good goy), but they only give you a decimal terabyte, and the difference between those is used as overprovisioning.

>>105950435
Why do you have so many questions and assumptions?
Over provisioning is something crucial for performance and ideally we'd all be doing 50% capacity OP so new writes regardless of how full the drive are always have fresh empty blocks to write to, and that would allow for peak wear leveling efficiency without having to worry about "old" data occupying flash and squatting.

This isn't something that will be going away. It's a fundamental thing, the more OP the better. What manufacturers put in is just the norm. More is beneficial, basically always. There are only gains to be had in endurance, performance, and even better thermal efficiency when riding a drive at ~48% allocated (manufacturer OOB OP + Manual 50%) instead of 98% (manufacturer OOB OP only).

Most of the shit you read is written with a high dose of copium like (SLC caching is enough! so we don't neeeeeeeed to OP) but OP solves a lot of issues people overlook because they're focused on the copium perspective and trying to min-max their capacity.

Need a 1TB SSD? Buy a 2TB, OP it. Need 500GB? Buy a 1TB and OP it.
When it become obsolete, just remove the OP and retire it to mostly read storage at full capacity with well distributed wear from previous use ensuring a long lifetime. It's a win-win. Any attempts to justify less OP always stems from poorfaggotry and marketing.

>>105950605
zoomzoom, wide aspect resolutions weren't common until flat panels started taking over in the mid-00s. Lots of classic games have been retrofitted, but in period 1997 there was no support at all for wide aspect in PC games. Most people at the time were playing on 800x600 or 640x480.

>>105950030
you're the one confusing shit. 1 decimal TB is equal to 0.9095 binary TB. when you multiply 1024 decimal GB (i.e. 1 binary TB) by the previous ratio you get 931 (i.e. the amount of binary GB in a decimal TB)

Yes. I never confused any of that. But drive manufacturers decided to invent "decimal TB" and "decimal GB" etc. and use the exact same abbreviations as the normal units. They're the ones confusing the two.

>>105950977
>decided to invent "decimal TB" and "decimal GB"
For HDDs. This is not the case for flash.
Shit's confusing either way, using base-10 for storage capacity was a mistake and using the decimal prefixes k/M/G for base-2 memory capacity was also retarded.

>>105949945
ssd sizes are even worse than hdd sizes. with hdd's you can expect say a 2TB drive to be just a hair over 2,000,000,000,000 bytes (~1.82TiB), but with ssd's they typically use the raw flash value, incorrectly, which confuses things to those who are familiar with those power-of-two numbers. like a 512GB ssd has 512GiB of raw flash, but is usually rounded off to be a touch over 500,000,000,000 bytes (500GB) after internal wear leveling and other preserved spaces are accounted for. hdd's also have some reserved space, but because they can be made to arbitrary sizes, you don't need to know/aren't privy to their raw platter capacity at all

>>105949867
i know exactly what he's talking about. he's talking about DOS games, which were common up to 1997, and which were mostly 320x200 (not always). 320x200 is 16:10 using square pixels, but they weren't displayed with square pixels. you'd think because they're displayed as 4:3 that he'd simply be wrong, but it gets more complicated than that, because many games don't account for the fact the pixels aren't square, like the art was drawn using square pixels as their editing software used square pixels. this means many games actually look more correct when displayed in 16:10 instead of how it actually was displayed back in the day.

like take pic related as an example, notice how the circles are correct with square pixels (16:10), even though nobody back then would have displayed it like this unless they deliberately adjusted their CRT's h-size to squash the picture

I fucking hate poos, particularly in tech. I'm sure another fucking pajeet pushed his garbage code in production, causing this issue, and a third cowfucker flagged the issue as resolved, hence why it's still ongoing. Just look at how many people are affected:

is it me or is jewgle punishing people for using alternate browsers?

they probably are "iso" files (in the sense of a raw 2048-byte cd-rom sector dump), except if it's 90's mac software, it may be formatted with the HFS filesystem instead of iso9660 like a regular cd-rom (which means it's not technically ".iso" since that denotes an iso9660 filesystem)
7-zip lists HFS as supported for extraction, so idk what's going on there. can you link/post the file?

no captchas on brave either, even in incognito. Then again, it's also chromium-based.
Other than Chromium and Firefox, what other engines are there?

>>105952736
stuff like epiphany, and text-based browsers like w3m and lynx

>>105952296
Spin up a MacOS instance in qemu or sheepshaver and use Toast to convert it.

>>105952633
They're not.

>>105952452
The redump version of that is available on myrient. I have my own copy of the Mac Action Sack in toc/bin if you want it.

>>105952733
i see, the person who asked responded to a post i had filtered so i didn't see it
it's not a raw hfs volume, but instead an APM disc image, like for a hdd (like the equivalent of a DOS MBR format, a partition table) with an HFS partition
>/tmp/Marathon Trilogy.toast: Apple Driver Map, blocksize 512, blockcount 1317982, devtype 0, devid 0, driver count 0, contains[@0x200]: Apple Partition Map, map block count 2, start block 1, block count 2, name MRKS, type Apple_partition_map, valid, allocated, readable, contains[@0x400]: Apple Partition Map, map block count 2, start block 9, block count 1317973, name Toast 3.0.4 PPC Partition, type Apple_HFS, valid, allocated, readable

i can loop mount it with losetup and it contains two partitions;
> sudo file -s /dev/loop0p1
/dev/loop0p1: Apple Partition Map, map block count 2, start block 1, block count 2, name MRKS, type Apple_partition_map, valid, allocated, readable
> sudo file -s /dev/loop0p2
/dev/loop0p2: Macintosh HFS data block size: 16384, number of blocks: -24350, volume name: Marathon Trilogy

the mounted volume looks pretty jank but i'm not experienced with HFS

oh shit, sure, lemme get it
>>105952814
Worked, thanks!
Can't tell how much is corrupted, but I tested converting the .pict images with imagemagick and it spit out real shit

it's got some interesting stuff i can read on it, like under Marathon Extras/Gnop there's a 26 minute long behind-the-scenes video of the dev team (rename to .mov if needed). it's in classic quality™ (15fps 240x180 cinepak), but still interesting to see on a game disc

>>105952955
Yeah I noticed that, writing marketing blurbs on pizza boxes lmao, so 90s small game dev
You can definitely tell that Bungie only had 7 employees at the time

>>105952970
funny to think that video's timestamp is only 4 years older than Halo

>>105952970
That Bungie went out of business in 00. Microsoft bought the IP, all the employees fucked off, and they put the head of Excel in charge of Halo.

>>105952970
>>105953035
If Marathon was the last game Bungie made with 7 people, then Marathon is truly the most blessed

>>105952970
not marketing blurbs, development tasks. one says something like "if you take a slice of pizza you have to cross something off"

>>105953961
ahh, I'd actually seen the video referenced before and just knew that written on the boxes was "features Marathon improved over Pathways" or something, I assumed it was marketing rather than R&D lol
