Can anybody identify this case? Used to host a 50-something mhz 486 back in mid 90's and I'd love to have it again.

What's a good 3D modelling service for Linux? Something basic, nothing fancy, like Google Sketchup. But not that.

I put a dessicant packet underneath the earpads of my headphones to prevent moisture buildup but they make a rustling sound when I move. What can I put there instead?

>>105952341 (OP)
Need a monitor for graphics design/3d modelling & texturing/photoshop...etc.
I did some research and narrowed it down to LG UltraFine, Dell UltraSharp, and Asus ProArt. There are other brands and models but I don't know much about them (suggestions are welcome)

Who would win in a fight between Clippy and Bugdroid?

>>105952341 (OP)
read somewhere online that TAA gets better depends if you are playing at higher resolutions and if you have high framerate since it uses information from the past to reconstruct the image(so more frame data available the better games will look). My question is if i got a new monitor that is 1080p 120hz and i can play games locked at 120fps, will i see a noticeable improvement in sharpness from playing games at 60fps due to more available frames?

>>105952804
i found another picture of what looks like the same case, but it's not easy finding the names of such cases, since there were countless cases that looked not much different

>>105953644
i'd be surprised if one existed. the only tv's with vhs decks built i've seen are regular crt's
there did actually exist an HD VHS format, but it was short-lived. there was a brief period where HD CRT TV's and HD VHS existed at the same time, but combining them would be extremely niche

>>105953902
-- and even if you found one, it'd be a collectors' item, it's hard enough just finding a standalone CRT HDTV

>>105953474
Indeed, and I don't even remember ever buying a case by brand. It's a long shot I guess, but I've seen rarer stuff dug out. Thanks for the pic though.

Should I buy more space for my Google drive?

Why does CCleaner work so well at speeding up my PC. Not a shill, I pirated it.

i've got an amazon voucher that expires tomorrow, it's like 100 off 250 but i don't really want much at the moment.

What's a good thing to buy that I can just then resell easily?

>>105955026
I thought CCLeaner was free?
Also what do you actually do within CCLeaner that creates a perceptible speed difference to you?

It's possible you have some programs that create a bunch of junk files but even that should really speed your PC up. I'd say placebo but you've probably considered that since you're asking here

>>105955409
It wasnt placebo my pc was legit hanging up and freezing intermittently like it was running out of ram until I ran it. Night and day difference after the scan. I feel like windows just poops itself if you dont reinstall/fix it with external programs it just has too much bloat or is indexing too much garbage. I dont know what exactly it is though

>>105955433
>legit hanging up and freezing intermittently like it was running out of ram until I ran it
Did you reboot or anything as part of CCLeaner's clean up process? That's all it could be.
What specifically did you run in CCLeaner? The registry edits aren't generally assumed to be of much use, I don't know if they've added other things since

>>105955497
Nope no reboot. Removed a lot of temp files

>>105955617
Honestly if that's all it did then there's nothing there that suggests a source of improvement. Deleting files doesn't really speed up your PC unless they're running which those aren't,
The only slight thing could be thumbnail cache if Windows handles it in a dumb ass way but even that shouldn't really cause freezing.

Here's the thing, nobody was buying PC cases back then. The market did not really exist. Virtually all computer towers came with the PC itself because that's what people were buying. Ready made PCs.
If you want to find an old case your best option is identifying the PC then shopping for that PC.

>>105956100
this isn't true at all
most people bought premade computers then, but most people buy premade computers now, too. there have been companies selling just cases for as long as the pc clone market has been around. you think all those small "no name" pc clone companies made their own cases?

Building your own PC is way more common these days because there are more components and guides and information available.
Back before we even had USB people had to be quite a nerd to attempt such a thing. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it was not normal. A far more common thing was people buying components to add to pre-built machines, like sound cards or anything else that went in the PCI slots.

The no name PCs didn't have to manufacture their own, there were OEMs and a lot of the "variance" in such markets is never true variance, but just differently molded plastic front panels onto the same chassis with 1:1 identical interiors and bay arrangements. A whoPC would just put in a custom order for a bunch of cases with their customized front panel and that was kind of it. Tear the plastic off, and you have the same cases across many builds.

i was thinking of buying some extra storage but before pulling the trigger on some big mechanical SSDs for data storage, i was wondering if theres any simple, intuitive way to set them up as NAS
my current set up is
>outdoor security camera recording constantly during weekend nights (have to manually remove the SD card to retrieve the footage)
>main desktop PC running debian
>2 linux laptops i barely ever use
>1 smart TV with some retarded Hitachi "vidaa TV" OS that i only use for Youtube or Rakuten TV
>1 android phone

my idea would be to have this centralized NAS or laptop running my "storage" at home and being on 24/7 or nearly 24/7, so i could access it from any device at home, does that make sense? have it be an easily browsable folder from my computer and laptops

how hard would this be to set up?

>>105952341 (OP)
Let's just say someone has torrented a couple of seasons of a TV in a different location under an unbound VPN, is it possible for the folder/files to be rigged in a way that triggers a dmca notice at their current location/isp when you delete them?
This can't happen, right?
Only asking this hypothetical because perhaps the folder needed admin permission to delete (after antivirus scanned it at least)

>>105956242
i also have hot air soldering station, lab power supply and a multimeter. should be enough i think

>>105956386
How the fuck would that even happen?

>>105956386
>This can't happen, right?
no, not outside of a separate piece of malware which monitors and detects exactly that, which would not only be unbelievably unlikely to happen, would also make absolutely no sense to exist
if you got a notice after deleting something, it was a coincedence. if you had trouble deleting it, it was another issue, like if you're on windows, if something has a file open, you can't delete it

>>105956426
this is /sqt/, and it's a fair question. yes it's the kind of question which sounds dumb to those who know better, but also the kind of question which sounds plausible if you don't

>>105956407
i mean, if you have a hot air soldering station and the experience to use it, you might stand a chance, but i doubt many here have experience repairing gpus or similar, that is actually on the advanced side of soldering

Hi, I'm learning python rn
The goal was to double everything in the list and I didn't want to just look up the function to add things to a list
Can someone explain to me why the list needs to be inside the loop?

numbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5]
##to not break v x = 3
##breaks -> dubs = [x]
new = []

for dub in numbers:
x = dub * 2
dubs = [x] ## <- a'ok
new += dubs
print(new)

>>105956926
As you wrote the array is like a list and instead of listing every numbers[0] numbers[1].. the loop is doing it for you.

By the way you don't have to create a new array,
ex = [0, 3, 2, 1]

print (ex)

for n in range(4):
ex[n] = ex[n] * 2

print (ex)

I have a vm on proxmox and I installed a Jellyfin container. It's a piece of shit and hangs and forgets settings and just generally fucks up basic shit constantly. I've used Jellyfin before with great success. My question is: are containers fucking retarded and I should just install jellyfin on the vm or should I invest the time into learning why the container install is borked and work with it?

The most basic option is any pc with a shared (SMB) folder that is powered.
There are quite a few NAS specific distros for a better solution of course :p


That said, for the security camera without any other write options you could perhaps try a sd card with wifi, and connect that to a raspberry pi zero or something. However, wifi sd cards generally aren't cheap and might not even be fast enough for video writes without framedrops

Just make a wordpress site with a list of your inventory and provide an email to send orders to.

That's the cheapest, easiest method. Otherwise, you could whip up your own website and make it as simple as possible, but then you have to worry about hosting it and input validation and all that (not big issues, but could be if you're trying to put something tgether free and cheap).

Finally there's stuff like wix, shopify, etc..

If it's outside the loop it's already pre-established and I'm guessing a loop is like it's own self contained statement? So trying to modify an existing array inside is like using something that doesn't exist

>>105956622
I don't think so, I think the paid ones do offer a service
Trouble is they'll make you buy a year and then support can be non-existent. So it could last the full year, or it could go kaput in 3 months and you hear nothing. The trouble is finding a half reliable one that will offer support, but that's easier said than done due to the nature of the services.

Share your laptop model. You can fix it. There'll be a hybrid mode or equivalent maybe. Your igpu is driving your laptop display which is why it's what's being seen but you can switch to your 3050. Your laptop would be a bit pointless if it couldn't

With shit having End of Service for Windows 10, I find myself probably needing to look at an upgrade to 11 at some point in the future.

either into a LTSC version of Windows 11 if that's possible or through legitimate means.
I know that Win10 will just upgrade to 11 if you ask it to, but I'm unsure what it'll try to do if I don't have a legitimate copy, and even if it does let me upgrade - if it'll once again ask me for a key and there's no AutoKMS for 11 like there is for 10.

How to create these things? To generate an image file containing image previews of a video. They're often put into descriptions of torrent movies. I thought it's being done in mediainfo but I couldn't find any relevant info.

>>105960667
Update, I found the name of the program, it's called "Video Thumbnails Maker by Scorp". But it looks like it's freemium app, with watermarks and locked features. I mean I would buy it, but Paypal literally doesn't have my country in it, so it's impossible.
So, any alternatives? Preferably open source. Or you know, maybe a guide on how to get activation key for free for this, like a crack.

Ok, so:
I'm on EndeavourOS. I have Vivaldi installed (please don't go full Stack Overflow on me)
I have a hard disk with a separate (Windows) installation of Vivaldi I occasionally want to use when I plug it in.
I copy Vivaldi's default .desktop file on the hard disk. I add this argument:
'--user-data-dir=./Programs/Vivaldi/User Data'
I launch the .desktop file. It launches Vivaldi as if it was the first time it's ever been run. I have no idea where it stores this new profile, because the default folder of both my PC and the hard drive are intact.
I open bash from the hard disk and run
vivaldi --user-data-dir='./Programs/Vivaldi/User Data'
It correctly launches Vivaldi with the profile from the external drive.
I install dex and run
dex Vivaldi.desktop
This also launches Vivaldi with the desired profile.

Why the fuck won't the .desktop file work when I open it by double clicking?
Yes I know I can just create a .sh file with the command and I already have and it works, but I want to know why the .desktop file won't work.

>>105962872
One complexity grows enough, it becomes near-impossible to maintain anything truly uncucked, for a simple reason: the barrier to entry becomes so incredibly high that only a very small number of entities are able to remain in the space and it's exceedingly difficult for any new players to enter; those entities inevitably must be quite large and bureaucratic and well-funded to be in a position to work with the complexity; and as a result the entities have extreme power over the market and a very high incentive to use that power for their own benefits and profits rather than caring for customers out of pure goodwill.

Simply put, there's no way for hobbyists or enthusiasts to make "their own open-source hardware stack", and there's almost no space in the market for a new commercial offering tailored to privacy/open-source/freedom enthusiasts.
It's just about possible on the very fringes of the market, as you can see from Talos, but those are exceedinly niche, very low volume, extremely overpriced and under-performant compared to normal systems. That's basically the best you can have, given the barrier to entry to design your own modern chips.

OSes are almost in the same position, they're just ever so slightly less complex. Even so, Linux is rather cucked too because it got too big to safely remain independent, and the various truly independent projects around have been pushed back into being so niche that most people don't consider them as viable alternatives.

>>105963399
There's plenty of both type a to c and type c to c cables on the market. When you say "charger is usb c to c", what do you mean? Usually chargers are "wall plug to (some) USB". Are you saying your charger has a type c port and you only have type a to type c cable? Just buy some c-to-c cables for 10 bucks then, it's useful to have both kinds around right now.

They're pushing C as the only port type, partly for uniformity, partly because the host->slave distinction has become really muddied with the proliferation of usb otg. Hosts and slaves just work as necessary and distinguishing cable ends and ports is not that important.

>>105964751
Mostly in cases where reliability or power consumption matter. Adding more stuff to something "basic" tends to make it more complex and therefore have a higher total risk of failure somewhere. Adding more stuff on the hardware level also tends to increase power requirements (and adding more stuff on the software level can increase load and therefore power consumption).

The definition of the deep web is that you can't crawl it, at least normally. They're usually quite boring so I don't know if anyone maintains a curated list. If you wanted to crawl them you'd probably have to set something up individually for every site, usually involving creating an account and spending a ton of time working around anti-bot and anti-crawler measures they will have.

>any other tips or forums
Some deep web sites already have projects attempting to, if not index them, at least do something potentially similar, maybe you'd find it useful to check those projects. Xcancel for example tries to proxy twitter, which twitter normally tries pretty hard to block, so you can look at how they're handling it in order to build your scraper. I don't know if anything like that exists for discord, which is indeed probably the biggest unindexed deep web repository around.

>>105966344
>1. Both are the same regarding the privacy?
Yes.
>2. Assuming I'm browsing SSL website, and I'm not getting bad SSL, would anyone be able to see what am I browsing?
No. Well, they'd be able to see the website name and that's it.
But if you're visiting a brand new website, make sure you're actually on https. Because one thing the internet owner can do is try to serve you the http website in cleartext. Browsers remember sites that you visited in https before and will flag an error if it suddenly stops working, but if it's a website you've never visited before the browser can't know whether someone is intentionally blocking the https version or whether the website just doesn't support it.

>3. Would using VPN solve this issue? or I'd be just giving my info to another agency?
It would indeed give an extra layer of encapsulation - eliminating the downgrade attack from above and also hiding even the domain names. You would be giving your info to another agency, but you'd be hiding it from the first one; it's not worse, it's just a choice you have to make: do you trust the ISP provider in the appartment more, or do you trust the VPN provider more?

thinking about buying this for its gigabit QoS because im stupid and the modem my ISP provides is locked down more or less.

everyone says gigabit internet shouldnt need QoS but when im streaming a game on one PC and playing the game on the other PC I can feel it.

the streaming PC is only outputting maybe 50mb/s and the internet line is 3 gig.

technically 50mb/s is a drop in the bucket but I swear I still feel it, and if I can put my gaming PC on the "fast lane" so its packets always arrive first I think that would settle my autism.

>>105966989

I understand that, I guess there's setting in browser to force HTTPS only.
And checking the connection and what company verified it to be safe, right?
This can't be spoofed?
>3
Downgrade attack?
Like forcing website to use HTTP?
>do you trust the ISP provider in the appartment more, or do you trust the VPN provider more?
I trust the ISP, since they can see me
I don't trust the host that own the router/network, since they can do what they want
>VPN
Not really trust them, but if it's free and can use it to hide my traffic from network owner.
What about cloudflare warp?
Since they own the internet at this point.

>>105967054
>And checking the connection and what company verified it to be safe, right?
Yeah, if the url says https (and the browser didn't give any big warnings about the certificate being invalid) then it's safe
>>3
>Downgrade attack?
>Like forcing website to use HTTP?
Yes, the one from point 2

>I trust the ISP, since they can see me
I'm not sure what you mean by that. They can see you just as your host can see you and neither seems like a reason to "trust" them.
Not that trusting the ISP is wrong I just don't get this reason.
>I don't trust the host that own the router/network, since they can do what they want
And so can the ISP but you're right that the host might have more reason to be retarded. Then again I'm sure the ISP employs interns and niggers who might also decide to be retarded.

>Not really trust them, but if it's free and can use it to hide my traffic from network owner.
You have to trust them more than the network owner. Like I said it's a choice: you hide your traffic from your local network owner and operator, and instead show it to the VPN owner and operator.
>cloudflare warp
I have zero clue what it is or how it works, but the reasoning that they own half the internet anyway is sound, you probably won't be revealing much to them that they don't know.
Notable exceptions are big tech sites that don't use cloudflare, e.g. google, steam, etc. If you use those through a cloudflare thingy, you will in fact be giving cloudflare more info.

>>105967846
not gonna lie i was searching for "BTFO youtube" for way too long.

>>105967885
Well then the container is different

Codecs encode a stream of data (audio or video). Containers bundle together one or more streams, plus extra stuff like subtitle listings, metadata, images (e.g. for thumbnails) etc., into a predetermined structure. Some formats support only some specific codecs; for example, mp4 only supports VP8, VP9 or AV1 video, and Vorbis or Opus audio. Here are the stream types mp4 supports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP4_file_format#Data_streams
MKV (full name Matroska) is intended as a very flexible container that can store a wide variety of streams with a wide variety of codecs and still be valid. (The webm format is apparently based on matroska, by the way.)

To be able to play a file, a media player needs to both support reading the container format (to read the metadata, and extract the streams) and the codecs of the streams themselves (to be able to actually decode and play them).

They see the IP of the site but no content.

>>105968928
so I should just put a limiter on the stream PC while gaming/streaming to reduce congestion instead of QoS ?

>>105967045
>>105968977
Limiting bandwidth is a fairly solid idea, just decrease until it doesn't sawtooth (rise and fall) consistently
ISPs also tend to advertise in megaBITS instead of megaBYTES, 1 byte is 8 bits

If you are streaming a game (IE rendering on one, playing on the other) a switch or direct connection (maybe VLAN?) might be better and cheaper
You are probably not limited by upload if it doesn't leave your LAN

>>105967045
>everyone says gigabit internet shouldnt need QoS but when im streaming a game on one PC and playing the game on the other PC I can feel it
Are you using wifi? Wifi + shitty ISP router CPU can do all kinds of dumb things to latency.

>>105968928
I've never heard of asymetric fiber.

>>105969479
I could be wrong as I don't know how the tech works, was assuming it's asymmetric when there's only one fiber.

>>105969534
Key term Passive Optical Network. It's almost always symmetric. If they're asymmetric it's minimum 1/4 upload / download. 50Mbps upstream shouldn't be an issue for 3Gb service in either case.

>>105969850
Not saying you are wrong but a line being asymmetric doesn't mean equal speed caps. On asymmetric lines pushing the upload throttles your download, even if your upload and download speeds are capped equally.

I want to tinker with electricity and electronics. I'm a total novice but I have some projects in mind that I might proceed with when my skills are adequate. Today I bought a pc case fan and a plug for a 12v DC "cigarette lighter" socket. The fan asks for 12 volts and 2.3 amps, while the plug puts out 12v and 1000 mA (1 amp, then?). Assuming I can splice the two together, would my circuit be electrically sound?

>>105969909
>On asymmetric lines pushing the upload throttles your download
Not for PON. Asymmetric doesn't imply simplex.

It's possible the ISP has some truly stupid rate limiting scheme, but I've never heard of such a thing. Unless they specifically say multi-tasking with 50Mb upload, or even 50MiB, should be a problem I would assume it's a processing issue in OP's house. By rights you should be able to assume at least 750Mb upstream on a 3Gb fiber plan.

>>105971476
The source's current rating needs to be higher than the fan's draw. Why is the plug only rated 1A? Is it regulated?

If you mean these sony ones in particular are expensive, I have no idea how much they cost but if it's more than that the two main reasons are going to be better sound quality just like with any audio equipment that gets more expensive (with exponentially diminishing returns, mind you), and/or just brand name/"premium" brand perception (i.e. if sony sells $30 buds they'll be competing with chink $30 buds, but if they sell $200 buds then they're a premium branded product and are now in an entirely different market segment)

If they're hosted in clearnet in a first world jurisdiction, it's very easy, which is why you don't usually find any like that
If they're hosted on the clearnet but in a third world jurisdiction, it's not that hard but you do need either the cooperation of the third world entity or sufficient surveillance to act on your own. If the owner still lives in your country but just hosts it overseas then it's usually still easy, but I imagine it can be annoying to prosecute pablo.gonzales.87 living in the peruvian jungle and hosting his baby monkey and baby spic equal opportunity torture site.
If it's hosted on the dark web, it's only as easy as the owner makes it easy. Nobody is perfect and, if the site is big enough for law enforcement to put resources into tracking and surveilling it, you only need one slip-up to deanonymise yourself, so it's usually only a matter of time. But if the owners are actually intelligent and good at opsec, it can be very difficult. Of course you can also target general users rather than just the owners, or if it's a marketplace you can target buyers and sellers, but that's a lot of smaller fish and takes a lot more effort than if you're able to cut off the entire site at its head. Point is, though, it takes time and money and resources, and law enforcement is not infinitely-funded - there's always triage going on when picking what to persecute.

Also, from knowing someone who tried to host a hobby filesharing site (i.e. a pomf/catbox clone), apparently what pedos who are too dumb or lazy to use tor do is they just upload their shit on normal filesharing websites and share links around. So you can prosecute them individually but like I mentioned that's a lot of small fish to prosecute one by one worldwide, it's expensive and takes time.

I don't, because I have a room at my house I was able to dedicate to a home office. If you don't have that, consider unironically signing up for a coworking space, there's tons of them everywhere so if you live around a decently-sized city you should be able to find one that's a short commute away from your home.

And if you do need (or want) to work in a cafe, like the other anon said, as long as you're actually working and not larping it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. IMO it's kinda rude if the cafe is absolutely full and some people are just sitting there for hours doing work and not even eating, but that's a separate issue. If there's space and the cafe isn't packed it's completely normal.

Yes: they don't have to continue learning new things. They'll always have a snapshot of your life for those 10 years, but 10 years is not that much time compared to the rest of your life. Google doesn't need to know where you go to work after uni, Google doesn't need to know where you move throughout your life and what all of your future commutes look like, Google doesn't need to know how your tastes change over time and over the years, etc. etc. etc.
In another 5-10 years you will probably be a different enough person that all the data Google and Meta have now will be completely useless.

Privacy is also not black and white. Don't jump into a hyper-schizo rabbit hole, realise it's too hard to be completely untraceable in every way, get discouraged and give up privacy entirely. Reducing your data footprint a little bit is still a little bit better than not reducing it at all; and if you refuse to use a service out of privacy concerns, or even annoy your friends into not using one, you will very very slightly influence the improvement of privacy in the world.

You have to think of the internet as a network of networks - so for example your laptop connects to your router over your local private network, and then your ISP router routes your packets into the public internet. To be pedantic, it routes them into your ISP's own private network, and then your ISP peers with other ISPs so your packets can move from network to network until they finally reach the destination server's ISP who routes them into the destination server. (Which itself might be behind its own local router, by the way.)

Normal networks are kept together by being connected physically. A virtual private network is a way to extend a single private network across a physical interconnect that crosses over into other networks. So effectively, it's a way to communicate with another computer that's physically connected to you over e.g. the internet (or any other intermediate networks), as if you were on a single LAN. Wikipedia actually defines it quite well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network

Commercial VPNs do basically this, but they set up their servers to function as proxies, so you use the virtual private connection to the VPN server as effectively a proxy hop for web requests. Through the tunnel, the VPN server is on a "local" network to you despite being located somewhere on the internet, and then it just routes all your packets out to the rest of the internet.
A "proper" VPN is not that different from a commercial VPN except that it's one that you set up yourself and configure for your own purposes. E.g. that anon wants to set up a VPN tunnel to a machine on his local network, which would then be able to route his packets to other machines on his local network, which are normally behind his router's firewall.

>Every mail client asks for fucking phone number.
Yes welcome to dystopia. Protonmail used to be good for this, but I've heard they've made it really annoying to sign up lately. cockli doesn't ask for a phone number but a lot of website block it, mostly exactly because of that (it's worse for spam protection and also you are a BAD goy if you don't give your phone number!!). See if signing up to protonmail while using a cockli email as your backup/secondary contact still works nowadays?

Stupid gay ass classes. I wanted to vent more than anything, but man, I hate that shit.

I have a Dell 7400 laptop. I used to use it daily for 10 hours, mostly on battery. I would charge it throughout the day as needed, and would get around 3-4 hours out of it before it needed a charge.
then one day i noticed it started to drain the battery much faster. it was like this for a week, i had to throw it on a charger every 90 minutes.
we had some 7400 at work, so i yanked a battery out of a unit that had low SSD hours. it was a higher capacity battery. it did not make a difference, the battery still drains quite fast.
running windows 11, i never reinstalled the OS, maybe it was some os update fucking things up? its been over a year since this happened and this new battery still wont last long. i dont use this laptop much anymore. i dont think i grabbed a bad battery either, the ssd had 448 hours on it.

This is probably one of the few places that using an LLM would be justified. Though then again, there is SOME value in the exercise - you're still learning to get up to speed with an existing complex library, and yes, that in itself is a skill that will make you better at learning other frameworks etc. in the future.
It just really could've been practiced on a framework that would also be useful itself rather than an ancient piece of shit you'll never touch again.

Where would be a good place to buy a Debian GNU/Linux poster for one's room - or general GNU/Linux decorations.

What could have possibly gone wrong with my monitor?
The cable was a little mixed in with some other, so I took it out and re-arranged it. Now my monitor says "no signal" and doesn't register at all. I tried restarting, updating graphics drivers and a new cable, but nothing works. I will try with a different monitor soon when I get it here, but what the hell happened?

>>105980431
I'm a fucking retard. When I took it out and put it in again, I put it into the motherboard and not the graphics card. It works now.

This is probably a retarded thing to state:
Whenever I see some AI images, I can't help but sense this strange aftersmell of internal blood. Not sure how to explain that but it's like when you get into some accident or get hit by something and you sense blood, but there's no bleeding anywhere on you.
Anyone else have a similar sense when viewing AI stuff? Or am I just being retarded like usual.

Why are multiple articles I found saying 1 Wh is equal to 3600 Joules? Isn't that stupid?
1 Wh is equal to 3600 Watts, right? Watts and Joules are different things

Has anyone other than the U.S. Military put small high density imaging sensors behind not phone lenses?
If I wanted to be a "reach" fag with a fancy 400mm full frame camera lens and 2x teleconverter (800mm) that's still not enough for things like basic moon photos. Crop cameras aren't any better, they're low res too and don't even crop enough.

If I had a smartphone sized sensor that would give me around a 5x crop factor giving me a good ~2000mm effective focal length or even ~4000mm with the teleconverter, letting me image the moon at 12MP with it taking up most of the frame or being zoomed in on craters 2x.
I know a massive telescope and a full frame sensor would be better, I just think it would be cool to stick a tiny (super dense) sensor behind a real lens and see how it performs.

Also with a 5x macro lens and this 5x crop factor, perhaps a system like that might finally let me see my own penis in high res. 61MP isn't enough. It's small.

>>105981793
I just remembered and realized that's what the Nikon P900 / P1000 are but I wrote those off because they were JPEG only and no RAW, looks like P1100 supports RAW but I don't know whether the lens is very good or not.
I wish they would release something like this with an interchangeable lens.

You're being retarded, but AI images all come in one of a tiny handful of styles so if you're anything like me you're probably really really tired of those specific artstyles and it's just annoying to see now.

Which tech brands actually respect you as a consumer?

>>105982892
a brand is amorphous, are you asking which companies sell products at a fair price? or which company participates in twitter posts without offending you

Your local small business

>>105982591
Remove the drive from the case then use separate USB adapters.

My external SSD and leftover spinners either don't get cased or get 3D printed enclosures with no electronics so I need not rely on enclosure PC boards.

>>105982892
gl-inet is pretty cool. You have to deal with companies which curate their customers somehow. No mass market outfit will ever respect you because they wouldn't be in business if they did.

>>105982892
Noctua maybe?

>>105982892
None. Even the small two-guy enthusiast operation who started selling custom thingamajigs because they wanted one themselves, there was nothing on the market, and then they decided to make it available to others - even those will likely be quite happy to pocket some extra profit at your expense if they can get away with it. At least in most cases - it's not impossible but it's truly extremely rare to find someone in business who has real integrity.

As for actual corporate brands, at best you can hope that they use "caring about the customer" as a marketing tactic, but it's still nothing more than that. If they decide that they can make more profit by cutting a corner somewhere, e.g. because it won't hurt their image THAT much but will save a lot of costs, then they will all do it.

>>105983189
>even those will likely be quite happy to pocket some extra profit at your expense if they can get away with it
As well they should. To do otherwise would be immoral. Accurate prices are the lifeblood of the economy. If they aren't balls deep in their customers' wallets, how are potential competitors supposed to read the market?

>>105983331
I mean fair enough, but in return I have no reason to "respect" them. Business is business after all.

My windows FAILED to boot and the auto recovery also FAILED. I unironically just clicked to shut down and booted it again and it worked. Is that a sign that I may have some sort of storage device issue or much more likely Windows was just being retarded?

Is there a way I can disable ShareX from asking me to input a capture area before screen recording and just record the entire screen? If I'm playing a game and I press the record button, the frame at which the game is displaying will freeze and will sometimes cause me to tab out or completely miss the moment I was trying to capture.

I changed my monitor's settings for saving more energy, but now it has a weird buzzing noise. Pressing down on any part of the top of the monitor stops it.

For screenshots, I know for a fact it has three modes you can assign shortcuts to: screenshot area, screenshot current window, and screenshot entire screen. I've never used sharex for recording, but maybe there's similar options and you just need to use a different shortcut?

>>105985849
yea, i don't use sharex, but for me i do;
print - screen
ctrl+print - selection
alt+print - window
i specifically want full screen to be the default, one-button option in case i need a screenshot really quickly. you can always crop it later

I know that if you multiply a unit of power by a unit of time, you get energy. What's stupid is that it has "hour" in the name, even though it has basically nothing to do with time.

>>105987197
>What's stupid is that it has "hour" in the name, even though it has basically nothing to do with time.
Anon.

>>105987201
>1 Watt of power being consumed for 1 hour is equal to 1 Wh
Sure, the definition includes time, but the unit itself doesn't. 1 Wh is simply equal to 3600 J, no time mentioned in there, it's stupid

>>105987229
The "unit" is literally two units multiplied together, one of which is time. Watts * hours. How the fuck does that "not include time"?
If you mean that it's stupid to use a compound unit rather than just joules, then yeah sure I agree, but you're phrasing it in the most ass-backwards way possible if that's actually what you meant. And the reason watt-hours is used is because uber-normies can see the power consumption of their devices (e.g. a 3000W kettle, a 10W lightbulb, etc.) and can see how long they're on for and so it makes it easy for them to calculate electricity usage. This is useful to maximise the amount of retards who can understand it, even high school dropouts can see "oh I have my light turned on for five hours a day, it uses 20W, so I'm using 100Wh, or 3000Wh per month. My electricity costs $0.1 per kilo-Wh so I'm paying $0.3 to run my lightbulb" whereas if you measured it in joules they'd go "hwaaa I'm not some kinda physician professor man that's too complicated man"

>>105980956
>>105980999
Joules is what makes more sense regarding physics calculations but watt*hours are more descriptive to human beings.

VPN for most people means a setup where your VPN endpoint (the clearnet IP to your VPN service) is routed normally thru your home router and everything else is given the VPN's internal gateway as a route. That way your pirating and CP goes thru the VPN service.
But VPN generally doesn't always mean that, it could mean something like an intranet being routed over the internet within an encrypted tunnel. For example a way of accessing your workplace and their network drives or printers even.
Then there's even simpler point-to-point style, no networks involved: I use it for accessing a singular server so I won't have to secure all those services, all I see a "VPN adapter" that's "plugged into" my PC.
tl;dr a VPN is just a virtual network interface

>>105985848
>...and the pin test is not a reliable indicator of a PSU working.
Generally there is no reliable indicator whether a PSU is working unless it's some bespoke job you can't replace easily. For standard PC PSUs it's cheaper to buy a new unit than risk damaging a proper test apparatus with a dodgy one.
