I have a late 2014 Mac Mini, and it seems that when I insert a USB 3.0 device into one of the USB 2.0 ports (even if through a USB 2.0 extension cable), all USB devices, namely the dongle for a handheld keyboard, become unworkably slow. Does this make any sense? How can I get around this?

is it safe to put rubber washers around a HDD cage? I have a corsair 7000 case, and the cage is not securely attached to the case so it rattles a tiny bit. I don't know much about how vibrations work, if this may damage the hard drives or not.

>>106100685
It's safe, if anything reducing vibrations with extend the life of the drive because it's not consistently fucking itself against the housing all day on a micro level. That's how mechanical shit falls apart faster

What are vim and emacs exactly? To me they are just cli text editors but why is/was there such a massive discussion over using one of them? And how are they different from an IDE?

>>106101920
You can run it locally with Whisper models. There's a few online services if you don't have a decent gpu. Maybe the huggingface one?

>>106103232
First check if there's an option in your display's settings menu.
You can fix it in your OS via your graphics driver's control panel. There should be an option to control a display's size or overscanning

>>106103540
The discussion is mostly because of the different feature sets. The learning curve is very high since they're made to be fully keyboard controlled and don't really have discoverable UIs, so people who learn one or the other tend to be invested in the one they know, and won't bother learning or using the other, and then you get fanboy wars.
>how are they different from an IDE
Classically, in the past, an IDE would integrate "smart" language-specific features, like showing you errors directly in the editor, allowing debugging with breakpoints, having built-in refactoring abilities, etc. A text editor would just make it easy to edit and navigate text, and might integrate with external tools, but wouldn't have any built-in ways to be language-aware.

However Microsoft actually changed this when they built VSCode, which is more of a "text editor" than an IDE, but they wanted it to have IDE features, so they came up with something called language server protocol (LSP). The idea is that you have some external tool for every language, that the editor can query to provide language-specific features. Now, a text editor with LSP integration is basically just as good as any IDE has ever been.

how come nowadays cpus without integrated graphics will not even display BIOS menu when 40 years ago Z80 could display both text and pixel graphics using barely 8 thousand transistors?

>>106104317
you're asking why a computer with no graphics adapter can't display graphics? or why when picking a cpu that specifically doesn't have one, doesn't have one?

>>106104244
Woah. Thanks for the detailed explanation anon.

>>106104398
I am asking why do I need a whole 3D rendering graphics card component in a CPU when I just want to display text based screen content?
>b-but it won't run without graphics card!
I know it will not work since I just tested it. I want to know what stops intelaviv and tAlMuD processors from providing basic, non-rendered, non-3D text based output using pure CPU power

>>106104317
z80 didn't have any display hardware stupid bunposter

>>106104494
so how did it display graphics then you buffoon

Just trying my stupid question again, even after a day of screwing with it best I came up with is setting the torrents I put into the autostart dir to immediately pause and then rename the files or whatever else I need to do. I also tried all the major alt webuis and NONE of them have this feature the normal client has had for more than a decade.

I decided to clean my shit up and try confining all my torrenting to one machine via a Qbittorrent gluetun stack. Only problem is the qbittorrent webui is gimped in the most retarded manner imaginable or maybe I’m retarded. Is there some hidden setting that will allow me to view the actual file name when adding a torrent from a file? The only option is to change the name of the torrent not the file. It’s easy with the desktop app because there’s a box with all the individual files right there in the new torrent window. For some reason the people making torrents of the filth I like to download are addicted to using illegal characters so I have to manually edit the file name or it will automatically be changed to some random generated crap when it’s finished. Maybe it’s just qbittorrent, is there a better webui based torrent client?

>>106102245
There are many comprehensive step-by-step videos on youtube that will show you how to set up wireguard or openvpn, you can run it on something as simple as a raspi or a container on a minipc many routers these days allow you to do it right in the gui.

How do I bypass this shit? I have changed the 2 things in about:config

extensions.blocklist.enabled -> False
xpinstall.signatures.required -> False

But I still get denied.

>>106104454
>what stops intelaviv and tAlMuD processors from providing basic, non-rendered, non-3D text based output using pure CPU power
because there's no display driver components. i know what you mean, and yes a cpu has no issue generating the pixels for a framebuffer all on it's own, it's just that the components that go from the framebuffer out to a monitor are part of a graphics adapter.
bit-banging video straight out of a cpu is possible, but it consumes a ton of cpu time and requires tight timing in the software to do it. it'd make no sense to include such a feature in modern cpus. even just a barebones unaccelerated igpu would be far easier and more performant to include

by having a video controller connected to it

>>106100248 (OP)
While thinking about this age verifcation situation,
I came to one question.
The one poster mentioning spotify wants an age verification made me
realise this question.
Assume you have accounts especially created for privacy.
One could not age verify these (I don't have my passport/drivers license for
Santa Claus on me currently. ...).
So one cannot verify some accounts, and more problematic
it is possible one cannot verify an email account(!!!)
So how many accounts would at least some users lose?

If you are asked to age verify a mail account which was set up extra so
that you don't have to expose your RL identity to some sites (scammy, or else)?
And what is the consequence if you have to register ANY(!!!) account online
on your one real identity?(valuabe)
And then the shitty site gets hacked and boom this one important information (your RL identity)
gets distributed because of it.
I'm seriously pissed if this is the reality with this shitty age verifcation bullshit.
The need that every account you create is created against a
mail account connected your real identity(!).
I'm annoyed because of privacy and security considerations.

>>106104792
Did you restart faggotfox and/or maybe even a system reboot after the config changes?

Where to start with getting access to a local webcam. With some cursory research kali has things like storm breaker but everything seems to be about remote devices and I assume there’s a much simpler way when you are already in the network.

>>106104843
I did restart Firefox but not my PC. Will do that now really quickly.

>>106104807
NTA but honestly why don't all CPUs include a barebones, tiny iGPU as standard? Surely it can't take up as much silicon area and production cost to really impact the final product (can it?), and it seems absolutely invaluable for any sort of debugging or troubleshooting. The only way I'd ever buy a CPU without any display capabilities would be if I wanted a machine that's basically un-upgradeable and if it dies I throw it away or send it for repairs. So maybe in a laptop. But ironically laptops continue using iGPUs for power efficiency purposes.

That or maybe motherboards should start including basic iGPUs for their display output, similar to how all motherboards have onboard sound chips these days.

>>106104843
>>106104884
Restart of PC didn't help either.

>>106104884
>I did restart Firefox but not my PC. Will do that now really quickly.
I don't have anything beyond that, it seems like it should let you install the add-on but I've never seen that issue before.

>>106104933
>>106104941
Ah well best of luck anyway

>>106104901
idk, they could. a minimal one with no video decoding or 3d hardware would not need much die space i'd imagine. there's likely just little demand for it, like you're either using an igpu without a dgpu, or you're using a dgpu and don't need an igpu. like you hinted at, in the case of someone who normally uses a dgpu, such a feature would only really be useful for diagnosing issues, as such a basic gpu would not be useful for regular usage compared to existing igpus
>That or maybe motherboards should start including basic iGPUs for their display output, similar to how all motherboards have onboard sound chips these days.
that's actually how igpus used to work, they were on the motherboard, either as part of the northbridge or as a separate chip. many components that used to be on the motherboard are now part of the cpu. modern cpus are really SoC's rather than a bare cpu like they were in the '80s
pic related, dell mobo with separate ATi rage onboard gpu (next to the power connector)

>>106104980
>>106104901
>such a feature would only really be useful for diagnosing issues
-- and of course, for that you can just test with another known-good dgpu, if you don't have one around then you're probably the kind to take your computer to a shop for repair

>>106104980
also if you don't know what a northbridge is... they're integrated into modern cpus too. that includes things like pci controller, memory controller, etc. high speed peripherals.

>>106105001
>if you don't have one around then you're probably the kind to take your computer to a shop for repair
this is a bait I hope
>>106104901
and think of the server applications, those integrated gpus on millions of world
s Xeons lay unused 99.999999% of the time and are powered up once 3 years to update BIOS

>>106104808
Yes that's the point.
If people were fine with linking their IRL identity with every account, then there wouldn't even be any issue. In theory, protecting kids is a fine goal.
The problem is that adults who are over 18 are now forbidden from having anonymous accounts. That's the whole entire issue with the ID verification, yes.

>>106105026
>this is a bait I hope
it is not. i can't imagine someone who is comfortable diagnosing and repairing computers doesn't have a single working, unused gpu of some kind in their house

>>106105047
it's literally me, though

>>106105062
so you have one computer and literally just that one gpu in your house? or you just only replace your gpu once it dies? i'm not saying it's impossible, but it's unusual in my experience

>>106105026
>this is a bait I hope
No it's basic troubleshooting, you can get an old nividia ewaste gpu/display adapter from ebay for next to nothing. You'd have to be retarded not to have at least one purely for troubleshooting purposes.

>>106105001
The thing is testing with a known good dgpu is a fucking pain.
>GPU dies
>order new one
>whoops cannot even turn on my computer to open my web browser until the new one comes in
or
>upgrade GPU
>no video on first power-on
>???
>instead of being able to look through the bios, you're forced to swap the entire GPU back out again
With GPUs getting bigger and heavier right now this is more and more annoying. PC has to be on its side, remove the support thingy, unplug 2 or 3(!) power cables, take the 1kg brick out of the slot carefully, put in the old brick, re-plug all the power cables, try again, and back and forth as needed until you sort out the issue

>>106105026
Yeah on server CPUs it makes sense. They genuinely never use it and also they all probably have management interfaces that can access the BIOS remotely, they may not even have any display output ports.
But for consumer CPUs? A budget gaming i3 might save like $0.10 in production costs, I'm pretty sure for the overhwhelming majority of consumers this really isn't worth it the above hassle of being forced to always have a working dgpu else your computer cannot even boot.

>>106105103
>The thing is testing with a known good dgpu is a fucking pain.
don't get me wrong, i'm not disagreeing with the idea of having minimal video regardless of the presence of a dgpu or "full" igpu on any computer
if this is a concern for you, just buy cpus with an igpu. there are high end ones with igpus as well these days

>>106105028
so theoertic example: a user has 50 accounts (games, online sites, forums, whatever.) Let's assume 60 or 70% of these are not directly connected the main mail account for a reason. (one could already get a headache when thinking about the accounts.)
to glowies: these are numbers are purely fictional, for the discussion, so ...

>>106104901
Because the pinout adds more cost than the die space. It would be cheaper to put it on the motherboard like old server boards used to.

>>106105103
>>106105158
actually case in point i'm posting from a computer with a Ryzen 9 7900X, and it has an igpu even though i didn't buy it for that and i don't even use it

>>106105103
I feel like I'm talking with a hallucinating contrarian AI. These things are not bricks, they're practically free and they don't even need extra power. Why wouldn't even a casual tinkerer have one or two kicking around?

>>106101998
Well, I've still been seeing those "updates ready to install" popups lately. How would installing Linux make the USB ports work better?

>>106105158
Oh yeah obviously, I'm not buying CPUs without an iGPU
It's just weird that there's this dichotomy between either buying one with a full-featured iGPU that could probably play most of my games at 1080p60fps even though I'll use it maybe at most 5 minutes within the next decade, or buying one with zero video output at all. And it's weird that there's a market for the latter in general.

>>106105271
Anon why the fuck would I buy a dedicated debugging GPU that will collect dust in a drawer for years on end and maybe die from static from the dust? When a fucking $0.05 integrated chip on the motherboard could do the same job, I think I'm justified in asking why I would be expected to have a dedicated card just for debugging purposes.
Also, is this actually what you had in mind when you said it would be "very unusual" for people to not have one? I know a whole bunch of friends who have built their own PCs and I don't know a single person who owns something like this. I'm not talking about "tinkerers" who build PCs for a hobby, I'm talking about people who have a self-built PC that they use for gaming and shit and they upgrade it maybe once every 5 years or so, and there's a 10% chance something will go wrong on first boot when putting in an upgraded GPU. That's not something anyone bothers to prepare for by buying a special dedicated debugging GPU.

>>106105422
>Anon why the fuck would I buy a dedicated debugging GPU that will collect dust in a drawer for years on end and maybe die from static from the dust? When a fucking $0.05 integrated chip on the motherboard could do the same job
This is the most retarded thing I've ever read, I've used mine dozens of times reiterating the objective fact that you're a gorillanigger contrarian.

>>106105422
>And it's weird that there's a market for the latter in general.
not really, there's not many people willing to fix a computer that can't reach over and put a hand on some kind of gpu to test with
again i'm not against the idea, but i also doubt there's many people wishing for it
>is this actually what you had in mind when you said it would be "very unusual" for people to not have one?
that was me, that's not what i had in mind. i have a few gpus just lying around. if i needed one to test with, i'd probably use my radeon rx560. it's small and requires no external power

>>106105467
The fact that you've used yours a lot doesn't mean everyone else will. Clearly you are in fact a "tinkerer". I know autistic people have trouble understanding that other people might be different from them, but you have to realise that not everyone has the exact same hobbies as you, and fully re-building a PC "dozens of times" (meaning at least multiple times a year) falls squarely into the territory of a hobby.
I've added major upgrades to my PC exactly twice in the past 12 years. If hypothetically my CPU didn't have video output, that's how often I would have needed that dedicated GPU.

>>106105474
>if i needed one to test with, i'd probably use my radeon rx560. it's small and requires no external power
That's fair, I'm a zoomer so I don't have any ancient GPUs and I never bought small ones, my oldest was a GTX680 and it was quite big already. I also ended up selling it on ebay for 20 bucks at some point because it was just collecting dust for years

>>106102599
There's plexamp but that needs a plex server.

>>106105546
if you've only ever bought massive modern gamer gpus then i can understand the desire to not swap them around.
for me i grew up with gpus/video cards that didn't even need a heatsink.
i also understand that people tend to sell stuff they don't use. it's just that -in my experience- if you know enough to fix your computer, chances are you're also sometimes fixing other peoples' computers, which is where having spare parts around is very helpful

>>106105612
>if you know enough to fix your computer, chances are you're also sometimes fixing other peoples' computers, which is where having spare parts around is very helpful
Only if you live physically around other people who also have built their own computers

>>106105645
it doesn't matter if they built their own computers. really the opposite, if they built it themselves why would they need someone else to fix it?

>>106105651
All the people I know of who did not build their own computer, use a laptop. I sure as shit am not fixing anyone's laptops

I'm trying to backup some family videos from old Sony Mini DVD-R and Mini DVD-RW's. Some of the discs have data stored on them (the discs are labeled and I can visually see that they've been written to) but Windows, MPF & ImgBurn all think that the discs are empty. Any ideas as to why this is happening and/or how I can grab the data?

Some of the discs are also cracked - is there any way to grab data from the unaffected areas or are they totally unsalvageable?

Bought a used mobo with ryzen 3900 cpu, added known good 3060ti and installed m.2 with linux mint and steam library (it's been used in quite a few computers at this point)

The games I'm able to start are extremely laggy, as if I'm using the default gpu drivers provided by linux mint instead of the official nvidia drivers. Games are always acting like that when I forget to upgrade from default xorg video nouveau or whatever. But I've reinstalled official drivers several times now and problem still persists.

Just trying to figure out if it's my linux mint getting wonky after being in so many computers with so many gpus, or mobo having some kind of pcie issue where it can do desktop surfing and stuff but no heavy loads. lol. I doubt it but thought I'd ask here. Thank you

Just asking. And the smaller the tracking, the better.
A car records and sends not only location data but also audio and video as well as a lot of other data, which the manufacturer/dealer need not know.
My phone might still track my location history, but if I use a faraday cage or leave the phone at home, I can prevent it. I can't use a faraday cage on a car.

Any recommendations for replacement ear pads for the Sennheiser HD6XX headphones? The official ones seem pretty pricy, I saw a "cooling gel" options which sounded nice on paper and was like half the price but some people said it sucks after extended use and actually heats up your ears, is there something decent that isn't gonna break the bank? I feel stupid spending like $60 for foam pads

Can someone explain to me what the fuck is wrong with 4chan?
Every time I try to upload a .mp4 in a board like >>>/wsg/ I get a "Corrupted file or unsupported file type." error.
What exactly does it not like about ffmpeg -loop 1 -i in.jpg -i in.mp3 -c:v libx264 -vf pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2 -tune stillimage -crf 12 -r 1 -preset veryfast -c:a aac -b:a 192k -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest -y out.mp4

What's the deal with Firefox soft forks nowadays?
Currently thinking of divorcing Chromium, last time I used Firefox or its forks was way before Quantum branch (rip XUL ;_;)
and from what I've heard mainline is pretty much cucky with the questionable ToS changes recently.

Any anon having hands-on experience with Floorp or Waterfox in their current state?
That Jap fork seems Vivaldi-like - customization overload.
I actually had experience with Waterfox long time ago (again, pre-Quantum days). I know the browser had its worst days with that ad company acquiring it, but from what I see the original dev reclaimed it back.

Not schizophrenic enough to consider Librewolf or IceWeasel though.

Mine cost £30 https://www.audiosanctuary.co.uk/sennheiser-hd545-hd565-hd580-hd600-hd650-earpads.html
Which seems fair for headphones that were like £150, after many years of use. I don't know if chinks make super cheap versions - in theory it's just the right shape of velour stuffed with a torus of foam, but honestly headphone pads can have a pretty noticeable impact on sound so I'd try to stick to decent quality ones. $60 is indeed steep, are you sure you can't get the official ones at a more reasonable price?

There's at least one company making aftermarket sennheiser pads, I'm pretty sure if you search "sheepskin hd6xx pads" you'll find them. The sheepskin stuff is controversial for sound, though, some people say it makes it even muddier and more muted.

>>106114355
If it's a static site, use github or gitlab pages honestly
Otherwise if it's dynamic (i.e. needs an actual backend), then you can also buy webhosting packages from most VPS providers, that go for like $2/month and sometimes let you run multiple domains and websites at once. That way you can separate it from your VPS, and they're cheap enough that you can buy multiple ones from different providers if you want to keep your shit separate. But if it's just like linktree then you don't need "real" hosting

In windows 11 is there a way to display on the taskbar when you have an unread email? Or keep the unread email notification up permanently instead of max 5 mins?
I can't believe I'm struggling with a basic feature that we figured out 20 years ago.

>>106115472
Ah yeah I'm in the US so official ones seem like they would be like $52~$56, while knockoffs vary a bit. The ZMF ones were interesting https://shop.zmfheadphones.com/products/zmf-hd6xx-sub-pads and I saw recommended in a lot of places though they are even MORE expensive than the official ones...

>>106115809
Weird, normally components, tech and spare parts and stuff are always cheaper in the US. We usually get the dollar amount in pounds and then some more on top. Meanwhile these pads are like 30% more expensive for you even after currency conversion.
I'm assuming you've looked around for different resellers? In that case I don't really have good advice unfortunately. Yeah the lambskin ones are more expensive here too, they're supposedly "luxury" despite having weirder sound that not everybody likes.

You could try your luck with a knockoff if you can find one for cheap enough. It is after all just foam in velour, like I said. Maybe you'll get lucky and the chinks made them decently, or maybe it'll fall apart but if it's cheap enough then worth a try.

Or get new headphones, if you've had the 6xx's for long enough. Try a new sound, and sell these on ebay or give them to your nephew or something.

>>106115924
It becomes 1FA then, you're basically only relying on your code
The point of 2FA is that hackers need to get two things - your physical phone and your password. A data breach or a keylogger botnet may get them the password but not your phone. Whereas a thief or a sleazy roommate might grab your phone but won't have your password. Getting both at once is much harder than getting either single one.
If you're basically making your password useless, it goes back to a single factor, it just changes it from the password to the phone. In practice it's probably fine, as long as your phone pin is good enough and you don't get it stolen; it's probably not much worse than having a password with no 2FA (which is also fine as long as the password is strong enough and you don't reuse it anywhere else and don't get infected with spyware). But just don't fool yourself thinking you're secure with 2FA.

>>106117490
In this day and age, even super "weak" devices have become strong enough for simple day to day tasks, like browsing the web. (The modern web is heavy enough that for a while, it kept ahead of low-end devices. But finally it seems like web devs have reached peak bloat and made it as slow as they possibly could a little while ago, and now low-end devices have caught up, so it's no longer an issue.)

So yes it will work. But so will a cheap android tablet with a cheap keyboard cover. You do you but the raspi keyboard still needing an external screen and mouse just makes me question the usecase. Maybe if you're a schoolkid in uganda it's a nice $50 computer that can give you the experience of a "desktop" while on a poverty african budget, but for anyone else I'd recommend the tablet route instead, or an old laptop like the other anon said. (If you have decision paralysis get a thinkpad T480 or T490: cheap yet powerful enough for anything, decent quality and durability, good linux compatiblity.)

>>106117894
EAC actually helps against hackers while still letting you install other OSes. That anon is right. If people actually had self-respect and didn't play games that mandate insane anti-cheats, the practice would die out.
But instead you have shit like co-op games like Helldivers installing Valorant-tier always-on rootkits and everyone just goes "hmm that seems unnecessary and a gross violation of privacy and security... oh well my discord wankbuddies want to play it so I guess I have no choice but to install it anyway".

Anyway if you want to play BF6 despite this, yeah, go ahead and cuck your PC. You can always turn it off later anyway.

Does anyone have any clue what it means when your aftermarket CPU fan slowly speeds up over the course of a day and stays at maximum RPM forever even when the CPU temperature is below 35 and idling?

The air coming out of the case is cold, too, so nothing is heating up in there at all. Yes, it's plugged into the CPU fan pin on the motherboard. Yes, I did set up a custom fan speed curve that keeps it at minimum speed (700 RPM) until CPU temp goes over 60ºC. Yes, my PC is clean of dust.

Is the fan's temperature sensor wire fucked? Is the PSU feeding too much power through the mobo? Is the outlet frying my PC? I did have to replace the mobo months ago after it died with a "pop".

The point of 2FA is that both factors are strong, otherwise it's equivalent to 1FA.

Windows' built-in bluetooth stack was always mediocre.
Hell, it was so mediocre that people chose to use Toshiba's bluetooth stack drivers back in the day, as they were way better than Microsoft's.
Ironically, there were supposed to be improvements with BT audio (A2DP profile) in Windows 11. AFAIK AAC codec support was added.

From what I see the only solution is to use a 3rd-party A2DP driver. It's trialware but it costs like 6 bucks. (unless chang or ivan already patched out the license checks for the latest version)

The padding is because the picture has to have a width and a height both divisible by 2.

The video works just fine on firefox itself and on mpv to, I'm confident it's a 100% valid video file, so at this point I don't know what to do desu.

I hate Cloudflare so fucking much. They really don't want people using a hardened web browser. First it was Turnstile getting tripped far too easily and demanding a human verification. Now they seem to have added something that is tripping outright BLOCKING people from websites just for having the fucking temerity to not not send a photograph of your anus with every http request.

Also, Turnstile is powered by a service worker which is registered per domain so it gets tripped per website rather than than Clouflare keeping a session for you. AND if you want to put service workers on a whitelist, you have to individually whitelist any site that uses Turnstile. (I tried blocking service workers for a time because I caught a couple of them getting up to absolute horseshit - one decided to eat up a fucking GIGABYTE of local storage for no good reason and another started waking up suspended tabs.)

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i in.jpg -i in.mp3 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=-1:-1:out_range=mpeg,pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2" -c:a aac -t 04:19 -y out.mp4

In case anybody still cares about this, a solution has been found. Since it was a win 11 setting, obviously there had to be a registry entry somewhere. So despite the setting having a 5min maximum, I just edited the registry to keep the notification up for 24 hours, No more fucking missed emails for me, unless I fall into a 25 hour coma.

So apparently the new BF6 anti-cheat will require secure boot enabled.
My question is, how is this useful if 99% of mobos allow you to enroll your own root key (PK), allowing you to sign anything you want to boot?

Yeah like the other anon said, cloudflare just gives websites the options to change their settings to block as much or as little as they want.
Don't get me wrong, it would be morally good for Cloudflare to cease to exist immediately. But these blocks are not some default feature, site owners have to actually set it to be this aggressive.

>>106122518
If it's the cord before the big block, then it will take your wall volts and just the max amp rating needs to match the old cord. (Or really it just needs to match the power requirements of your laptop, usually they're overkill by default, but they're also not expensive.) The plug that goes into the transformer is going to be one of a few standard types. The cord is basically just an adapter for plugging the transformer into mains.

VLC is "flickering" a transparent thing, a bit when playing videos, or even when paused. The flicker seems to go through windows, so if I had the video above this thread it would show the browser window. Seems to happen more when "things" are happening in the background (like downloading or processing something)

What can I do to fix this? Something to do with graphics I assume.

im at my wits end with my main display fucking around on me.

I have 3 displays
2 are 1440p (280hz/144hz) and 1 is a capture card which is seen as a display at 60hz.

the issue is the main monitor will literally go ape shit sometimes and it disconnects over and over basically giving me a black screen but today I found out by accident if I turn off my 2nd 1440p display the problem instantly goes away and if I turn it back on the problem comes back.

so that rules out any hardware issues like a bad cable or port.

ive been running this set up since 2023 and never had issues the last few months.

Ive already DDU safe mode uninstalled GPU drivers and it didnt fix shit.

some people say turning off DSC fixes so I did it and it seemed to for a few days then it started happening again.

What causes NiMH batteries to fail?
Had picrel for several years, set of 4, I use them occasionally, not heavily. Have cycled through them evenly. Today it turns out 1 is dead. The other 3 still work perfectly fine, but this onesometimes measures about 1.3V, sometimes it doesn't even register at all, can't get a reading. It won't charge. It doesn't have any juice. Won't discharge. Charger says error. So pretty sure it's dead. Will dispose of at the store tomorrow. But what causes it, why would this 1 be dead but the other 3 fine?

Sometimes if the voltage gets too low chargers will refuse. I get this occasionally on one specific cell that was purchased and consistently used and charged with another 3 too.

Bad charger. Off-brand batteries usually have worse tolerances than Eneloops, but that just exaggerates the effect of your shitty charger. The Eneloop chargers are actually worth more than the batteries.

>>106130155
For the first couple of years I used an official Energizer dumb charger. Came with the Energizer batteries. Can only charge 2 or 4, no voltage sensing just dumps charge into them heating them up no matter their state until itauto-shuts off after 8 or 10 hours or whatever. So I would only charge when I had 2 or 4 empty batteries.

Got sick of this so more recently got a cheap chink USB-powered Pujimax charger. Each channel charges independently, it's a 'smart' charger so senses voltage and gives the indicator for each, and seems to stop charging each cell if full (they become cold, while the others charging are still warm).

Which of these do you think harmed the battery? On the one hand, official Energizer charger sold in stores in the west vs random cheap chinkshit. On the other, dumb and indiscriminate charging vs smart and sensing charging. Hmmmm......

programming logic is closely related to mathematical logic, and one of the most effective ways to build that foundation is through rote learning. i'd suggest taking a pre-algebra class if possible. if not, set aside a few hours each week to study pre-algebra or algebra textbooks and work your way up gradually. it’ll make a big difference especially once you get into concepts like array operations and control structures.

You can try explicitly asking it to point out if anything sound ambiguous or it notices any imperfections in the translation. Prompting an LLM to be critical and not yes-man you can work fine.

>>106131028
Yes and no. In most areas, you don't need maths. (Tautologically, you need maths for maths-heavy programming - if you're writing a 3D renderer from scratch, for example, you better be up to scratch on your trig, linear algebra, and multidimensional geometry.)
But like the other anon said, some areas are related, and the basic mental skill of symbolic manipulation is very prevalent in both. If you don't know maths just because you never studied much, then you might still be fine. But if you struggled with maths and the abstract, rigorous reasoning required for it, then you may well struggle with reasoning about program logic too.

Also a non-helpful technicality is that a lot of aspects of programming can be treated as maths, specifically sub-areas of discrete maths. Logic is a branch of maths for example, algorithmic analysis can be treated mathematically, etc. I say this is non-helpful because maths courses won't teach this anyway, it's maths yes but it's "computer-y maths" and you learn it when learning CS, not when learning maths.

Anyway tl;dr is that strictly speaking no advanced non-discrete maths are required for programming. The only time you'd use calculus, for example, would be if you specifically need to program a solution to something requiring calculus.

Yes, link-locals are beneficial even without IPv6-internets, I use them every time there's a chance.

Yes but don't serve the same purpose as they aren't hardware related.
IMO it's neat that when you boot up an OS you get the same link-local without doing any configuration. Like let's say you got a computer you use for monkeying around with different operating systems or if your network management service somehow fails to start -> still the same link local.

Found something weird going on with my mouse, been going on for a while. I have both a mouse and wacom tablet, I think the tablet sensor might be malfunctioning, but I have smaller symptoms with my mouse. It's weird, if I hoover over a picture or a link, the mouse changes into a hand but it doesn't stay that way. After half a second it changes back into the cursor symbol, I don't remember it doing this ever, usually it would remain a hand until moved away from the item.
Wacom tablet is even worse, it would glitch between hand, cursor and sometimes even disappear when passing over certain elements on a page (such as thumbnails). Not sure what gives, I updated drivers. Tried using just the wacom tablet and it just glitches and shakes, tried using just the mouse and the cursor switches from hand to point within the second. Am I going crazy?

>And obviously you want to use IPv6 case your ISP provides it.
Why?

>>106134089
Yes kinda but low bandwidth. The general concept for this is mesh networks, and you can make them with various connection options (lora, wifi, etc.), or even mixed connections on the same meshnet. The thing is wireless connectivity is almost always a tradeoff between range and bandwidth.
A lora meshnet is probably easier to make than wifi meshnet because you need fewer participants to be able to maintain an interconnected network. But, yeah, bandwidth. It'd definitely be enough for text shitposting, and would be really cool to have honestly, but wouldn't replace the full multimedia internet.
Also check out Yggdrasil as a decentralised meshnet routing solution. It's transport-agnostic, i.e. you can connect a bunch of computers into an yggdrasil network just over the internet, but you could also connect them purely over wifi repeaters with no ISP connect, and I think you should be able to connect over lora as well.

>without normies, ads and e-girls
You can just make niche, obscure or private websites and communities running over the existing internet backbone infrastructure. For example an IRC chat will filter 99% of normies and femals.
The point of a meshnet would not be to avoid e-girls and ads, it would be to avoid ISPs and backbone routers, in a scenario where widespread surveillance or censorship means you cannot rely on existing infrastructure. For example, if ISPs are mandated by law to ban connection to anything that's not a pre-approved server, thus killing both VPN providers and p2p networks (including darknets) - as well as small or individual websites - then we would need to resort to mesh networks that bypass the ISP backbone.
It's currently not clear how much that can scale with a large amount of users, though. It will also have problems crossing distances with low populations (e.g. connecting cities over the countryside), and of course you can't cross an ocean without cable infrastructure.

>>106136125
For Bittorrent users it means more connectivity.

I don't understand how does anyone justify a 9000 BTU/hr mini-split AC unit if every room in my country is typically less than 20 m^2 (215 sq ft). Even if the house itself is large, it's typically broken into rooms smaller than 20 m^2 still. This wouldn't be a problem if the AC manufacturers sold their premium units with performance of less than 9000 BTU/hr, but they don't, leaving you with entry-level units if you want to buy a 7000 BTU/hr unit. Are rooms much bigger in your countries?

9k BTU is about right for a small studio apartment. Usually people don't want to air condition just one bedroom, but with a variable speed compressor you can do that.

>>106137795
Well yes, but what if you aren't in a studio and in a much bigger house, yet every room in the house is less than 20 m^2 (that's what I saw looking at floor plans of new buildings here at least)? Central AC isn't something that is popular here, so I'm really confused. The units do have a variable-speed compressor, yes, but what if 9000 BTU/hr is still too much for 20 m^2 despite the variable-speed? Or are you claiming that it isn't (because I really don't know myself)?

You usually don't put a minisplit in every single room. You put one in like the biggest rooms or the ones you'll spend more time in. Things like corridors, bathrooms, and maybe smaller or secondary rooms then have to leech cool air from the main rooms.
If you live in a more northern part of europe, you may not even need one in the bedrooms, since by the evening things usually cool down and if you kept your house cool throughout the day the unit in the living room and maybe a second one, you'll be fine to sleep.

I have a 160m^2 two storey house and exactly two minisplit units, one on each floor (though I don't know their BTU rating). In the recent heatwave they were enough to keep the entire house comfortably cool, except the second floor was warmer than the first, but it's mostly got spare bedrooms; if it was actively used then three units would have been ideal, two in the bedrooms on the top (and sharing into the corridor and stairwell, and from the the cool air coming down the stairwell into half of the lower floor) and one in the main living room on the bottom floor (which is also on the other side of the house relative to the stairwell, but would supply cool air to the corridor to cool the rest of the rooms).

>>106138154
215 sqft * 20 BTU = 4300 BTU; basically half speed for a 9000 BTU unit. Sounds reasonable. Just contact the mfg to be sure you can actually set it at half speed an leave it.

In America it's common for a small single family home to have a combined kitchen / dining / living space to come in around 600sqft, or a single living room or master bed to be ~500 in a larger house.
