I need help. I don't know anything about computers and I need to buy a new one. My budget is about 300
I don't need it for triple A gaming or anything, it can be like 15 years out of date. But I really don't know what to buy
Please help, thank you

I think I've been shadowbanned on youtube comments, any way of rectifying that?

>>100326916
Okay well does it need to be a laptop or a desktop? What software do you actually need to run?

Can someone knowledgeable explain things I should look at when purchasing a 4k blu-ray player? I have access to a ton of free 4k discs once they come out (through my job) but I've never cared much for TV/movies, but I figure I might as well try it out until now.
I have a $500 toshiba TV that says it supports 4k, so I'm guessing I just need a player, but they range from $150 to $600 and I don't know what the differences might be.
Also, do I need a certain type of HDMI cable or is that only for HDR?
Also, is it even worth it vs regular bluray if I'm using a consumer TV?
Any advice welcome.

shadowbanning is very inconsistent in my experience. Sometimes youre banned from specific peoples comment sections, sometimes from all of them, sometimes your comments need hours or days to show up.

To confirm you've been shadowbanned, just try to look at you comment on Tor

I get a driver timeout with my and card. I looked into a solution and it said to set the max frequency to 95% in manual tuning, but I'm confused about the terminology. I'm the adrenaline software, is setting it to -5 the same as setting it to 95%? It's a slider that defaults to zero and slides positively to the right and negative to the left.

bros, how do old people manage to fuck up their computers the way they do? I don't mean "how" as in "How are they so fucking stupid", I mean literally like what methods do they use? Whenever I go back and visit my parents and grandparents, their computers (both iMacs, but they did this with their old Windows computers too) freeze constantly and their programs tend to take multiple tries to launch. They take like 15 minutes to restart. I'll open up Activity Monitor and nothing is burning through their CPU, RAM, or I/O. It doesn't feel like they're overheating. Nothing is out of the ordinary. Sure, they have some adware in their browsers, but nothing particularly malicious. I am consistently unable to find a reason they should be going this slowly. I don't know how they achieve this.

I'm looking for a 4k 65" HDTV for my home office. Mainly to stream shit from YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, my Plex server and maybe a streaming service or two. (I don't even have Netflix anymore, maybe Prime etc).

Narrowed down to the
-Sony BRAVIA XR 65” X93L MiniLED
-LG OLED C3 (C4 or G4 depending on prices)
-Samsung Q95C OLED

Looking for a bright set as the office can get brighter in the daytime which is when I spend the most time. It'll be a secondary gaming tv as well for the kids and myself in the future. OLED burn in-is it that big a worry? I do watch a lot of repeat talk shows that may have something static on the screen. What about the onboard OS for each which is lacking? Will likely use an Nvidia Shield/Roku as the streaming device I hate onboard apps etc but switching inputs and all that I'd like to be snappy. My 5 year old Vizio sucks on that stuff. I'm hoping we see more Memorial day price drops this week and next.

Does anyone have a good emulator for a MacBook Air? I want to access some IOS apps.

Installed Linux Mint on an old laptop I never used to see what it's like and so I can mess around with it. It seems interesting but I'm not super tech literate.

It seems like it might not have drivers for the built in wifi card or something? I honestly don't know what to do; any help?

When you have a fresh install of windows 11 it asks you to use a an MS account, I know there are ways around this, but what would happen if you used say an outlook account, and that account got banned, when you boot into the machine at the user login screen would it just lock you out of all your shit.

I've been curious about this lately but can't find anything online about it other than people like "Just don't use an MS account duh" but I want to know what could happen in this case where you had an account but it's gone for whatever reason, what would happen as far accessing your machine?

you can remove the top polariser from an lcd, then use polarised glasses to see it. without a polariser on the top the lcd will appear white all the time
pic related looks kinda fake, but if you know how lcd's work it makes sense. basically, you have a backlight which is just solid white, then a polariser that orients the light a certain way, the liquid crystal layer itself which works by "twisting" the light to alter its' polarisation orientation, then another polariser on top of that. you can alter how much of the backlight gets through by twisting the light out of phase of the top polariser, if you remove that polariser, then you just end up with white light that is at various polarisation angles, which the human eye can't really differentiate, so it just looks white

Ha ha.
WiFi doesn't really travel long range unless you get up to military grade power levels, and no receiver is going to extend the range of a WiFi router. The McDicks in question would have to have their own HiPo antenna setup aimed specifically at your receiver for it to do any good, and maybe about a quarter mile is the upper limit for consumer-grade kit.

I remember some years ago stumbling across a website that had an "operating system" running that had access to some chat rooms related to the site, definitely youtube, mayble a whole browser, and other desktop activities
It didn't look serious at all, but had a lot of functionalities (as far as I remember)
Only thing I can really remember was that it might have used a lot of red and blue, and probably was the work of a single dude
Anyone remember/have it saved?

>Got any recommendations?
Not sure about yagis (they're the ones that look like TV antennas) or other types but picrel is common and affordable*. It's basically just a small antenna element with a metallic back panel that makes it directional. (if it wasn't there it would be directional to front AND back)
And oh, they are 2.4GHz so you specifically want to turn off AX, AC and other 5GHz bands when using it.
>Presumably I can hook it up to an in-home router, yes?
Yes assumed it's all reverse polarity SMA connectors. And I assume you are going to use that router as a Wi-Fi client to connect the McDonald's access point? Not that it would matter signal-wise which one is using the big antenna - the access point or the client.

*building antennas is also a hand craft, could try asking some antenna businesses

Actual stupid question: Why are CPUs not good for AI?

>>100340546
It entirely depends on the structure. Some AI methods run just fine on a CPU.

Would extending my monitor's FreeSync range from 40-60Hz to 30-60Hz damage it in any way? It's a 4K60 panel and I play with FreeSync and Vsync since it gives me a sweetspot of low latency and no tearing but some games dip below 40fps at times and it feels horrible.

>>100338999
Use an HDMI to DP converter, less of a hassle and probably cheaper too. Make sure the converter is good for the resolution and refresh-rate of the monitor.

>>100340613
Confirm what range of VRR it actually supports as it might just snap from 40 to 30 anyway.

>>100334682
Check the CPU affinity in the task manager, maybe you have a single core assigned to the browser, otherwise reinstall that browser or use something else.

Get better at googling: use quotation marks, hyphens, asterisk. There are many tricks to exclude certain words to get what you want, block certain sites that tend to show AI written garbage, and above all else add "reddit" at the end of the search if you're looking for solutions to a problem. I know 4chan has a stigma against reddit but it really is a good source of genuine, human opinions as opposed to cookie cutter AI articles that pop up. same goes for other forums, add them at the end of the search to get tailored answers from people that are in the know on your certain subject.

Well the range is 40-60 however the monitor is capable of 30Hz so I figured that it can also do 30Hz FreeSync. I tried to OC an old monitor's FS range from 40-75 to 30-75 but it would black screen since it couldn't even to 30Hz naturally. This monitor can, which is why I'm also asking.

Not everything a person wants to search is problem solving where you look to a webforum or "smartphone retards' questions." Often you're looking for a particular thing or particular information. And even searches where webforums can help are a pile of shit - you'll get better results using reddit's search within a subreddit than you will googling with site:reddit. It's fucking ridiculous.

google the manual for your PC, it will tell you which motherboard you have, which type of memory it supports, and the maximum amount you can upgrade to

>>100341026
It can do variable rate in the range that it can do variable rate. Outside of that it snaps to fixed rates. So if you try to demand that it stay in variable rate below its range, it will disregard your demand and snap to 30fps when it drops below 40. You need a different solution to deal with the poor framepacing that you're seeing when the framerate shifts back and forth between ranges.

>>100341263
there is a reason forms always have address as its own box, it is easy to extract data that is pre tagged or pre sorted, almost no one extracts specific useful data from raw string blobs, is there anyway you can tag it or sort it on the input side?

Even when it doesn't it just shrugs and acts like things that definitely have been indexed don't exist.

It helps with typos and that's about it.

Ok so I need to clear some duplicate files off my pc, I tried dupeguru but I'm looking for one which allows me to set a reference folder, then point it at another folder and find if there are duplicates for files against the reference folder only.

Right now if I add the reference folder and dupe folder into dupeguru, it will search for any duplicate files within the dupe folder itself as well.

Windows 10, old D: drive dying (fails SMART tests and I can hear it clunking).

Not much installed on there: loose programs/files/storage. Has been dismounted for chkdsk etc., no issues.

If I physically remove it, will this cause any problems? And can I switch the drive letter of my E: drive to D: just so I have C:, then D:? (OCD or something.)

Is that not what 'Reference' is?

Seems like a shell script type thing but my dumb brain can only think of getting/comparing the hash of the reference files, or some diff + rm type loop. Probably a way easier way on Windows.

What's the best open source software for AI voice cloning? Yes I'm well aware it won't be as good as 11labs but I just want to experiment and fuck around with it. Preferably something that can be mainly run from CLI, but some gradio type gui is tolerable too.

Ok for example

Ref Folder has
File01

Dupe Folder has
File01
File02
File02Dupe

If I use dupeguru and set Ref Folder as reference against Dupe folder and run the search it will detect File01 as a dupe against the reference folder but also detect that File02 and File02Dupe are duplicates of each other and show up in the list.

>just don't remove File02 duh

It may seem trivial but in this case my dupe folder is a massive catch all download folder and I know there are multiple duplicates within that folder but I'm not ready to sort them yet so instead of just having File02 and File02Dupe imagine having thousands of such instances in that list

I guess what I'm hoping to do is to slowly carve that downloads folder bit by bit.

>>100343415
>STARTPTS: The PTS of the first frame.
>PTS: The presentation timestamp in input
>Start counting PTS from zero: setpts=PTS-STARTPTS
>frames are taken from each input video in timestamp order, hence, if their initial timestamps differ, it is a good idea to pass the two inputs through a setpts=PTS-STARTPTS filter to have them begin in the same zero timestamp, as the example for the movie filter does.
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html
Looks like it sets the timestamp to 0 to prevent some kind of quirky out of order shenanigans. I don't really get it as I use a video editor for multi input trimming

Trying to set up a web server to test some PHP code, and it's kicking my ass for some reason.

I wanted to change it so that the "root" of the site is in /home/anon/html but no matter what I do, I get a "You don't have permission to access this resource" error. I've tried
1) Changing DocumentRoot in httpd.conf to point to /home/anon/html
2) Adding a Directory section in the same file pointing to the same folder giving it the same permissions as /var/www/html
3) Giving read, write and execute permissions for the "apache" user to /home/anon/html and its files myself
4) 1, 2 and 3 at once
5) Restoring DocumentRoot to /var/www/html but putting a syslink to /home/anon/html inside that folder
6) Calling my computer a niggerfaggot

But I get the same error every time. What else am I missing? All I know is that the httpd service is working properly, if I start the service with DocumentRoot as /var/www/html then I correctly get a placeholder page when I open localhost in a browser.
And yes, I know I could write a bash script to copy the files from /home/anon/html to /var/www/html and sidestep this problem entirely but I'm not going to do that. Whatever issue is happening here, I want to know what it is and how to fix it.

>>100345781
>even just any information I should know before I start?
A software encoder will take longer but since they can be upgraded more often they usually offer higher quality for the same quality as their hardware encoder cousins. Hardware encoders are much faster, if you go with a software encoder it'll take you weeks if not months longer

If I setup a raid 0 of two USB disks if I plugged them into another linux computer would that raid be properly detected?

>>100345904
did you give apache read and execute permissions on /home/anon too?

>>100332311
Anyone?

>>100346042
hard to say without testing, it could be the temperature sensor is not set to the CPU but something else, or the CPU is really getting that hot, or a mis configuration in the bios, or the software is in need of an update

>>100338627
Yes, that was my thought too. The owners of the site are in S. Korea. Seems weird to me.

before automatically removing exif data was the standard, was getting doxed through exif data on this site (or the internet as a whole) ever a realistic worry based on the average person's threat model? if so, why wouldn't mandatory removal of exif data be included in previously passed data privacy legislation to prevent sites from sharing or storing that information earlier?

>>100345987
So I have to give the apache user permissions for /home and /home/anon too? That doesn't seem safe.
I can do it because this is just a personal thing for testing, but that doesn't sound like it should be the solution.

>>100346427
> ever a realistic worry based on the average person's threat model?
no, the average person doesn't get on enough peoples bad side to warrant being tracked down

>why wouldn't mandatory removal of exif data be included in previously passed data privacy legislation to prevent sites from sharing or storing that information earlier?
1. Laws move notoriously slower than government policy
2. not all exif data is useful for tracking, see /p/

>>100346584
>government policy
meant to say private corporation policy

>>100346541
not having read and execute permissions on /home/anon means it cannot open subfolders like /home/anon/html
you're right though, and thats why everyone copies files to /var/www.

>>100346648
I see. Then I suppose writing that bash script to copy the files over is the best solution. Thanks for the help.

Used dell optiplex or some other office/school desktop. They often get liquidated by the palate-full every few years and they're perfectly good machines.

Show /pcbg/ your options if you're not sure what to go with or if it's worth the money.

You don't need anything more expensive than the Sony UPB-x700. Blu-ray is an entirely digital format. Signal processing should be done on the TV's end. What you're paying for past that is esoteric certifications, extra ports and software features, onboard storage and other stuff your computer or game console could do better. If you have a more recent Xbox (One X, One S (can be bought for cheap used) or Series X), or a PS5 they also play 4K blu ray.

Thanks. This seems to be the case. He was trimming video and audio separately and then joins them using concat so it was probably safe to align PTS in video and audio parts.

my computer stopped working. an anon told me that it must be my graphics card which failed, because shortly before my screen went black I had an AMD "bug" message pop up. then some anons in the last thread told me to plug in my monitor to the motherboard directly. I did that and my monitor still displays no signal.

what should I do? I'm inclined to believe that the problem still lies with the graphics card, because when I press enter on the keyboard numerous times the keyboard lights shut off, which, if memory serves, corresponds to me being locked out by windows for entering my userpassword incorrectly too many times. Of course there's no way for me to verify with no video output, but I'm assuming that my operating system and software are still functional etc.

Can you use a previous ISP's modem/router thing as just a router/ethernet switch for an ONT? I have a Sagemcom Fast 5250 modem/router unit sitting around from when I was with Bell(?) and now that I'm with a new ISP, they've given me the coax box and a dinky little router with 1 usable ethernet port between the two. Could I really just plug the ethernet from the ONT into the WAN port and use it? Do I have to do any firmware shenanigans? Can Bell try and do anything as soon as I connect it to the internet?

>>100352063
Don't use the WAN port. Disable the DHCP server, set its LAN address to something outside the new router's DHCP range, and you can use the LAN ports as a switch.

I have 1 pc with only display ports hooked up to a hdmi only kvm switch via a passive dp->hdmi cable. The other pc hooked up to the switch is just hdmi. The output of the switch is an active hdmi to display port adaptor cable as the monitor needs display port.
This worked initially, but after a few switches back and forth the monitor looses signal from both pcs and needs to be powered off for about a minute before it worked again.

>Do you have a Ryzen CPU?
I have intel i4, if I remember correctly. I had a speccy screenshot on my desktop that I would always use for threads like these, but I can't access that now with my computer being half dead.
My computer is very old(almost ten years) and the graphics card is so old that I can't even update drivers for it anymore.

>Test your GPU in someone else's machine.
I'm not following. From what the other anons told me, at least my GPU is dead in the best case scenario, and if plugging my monitor directly into my motherboard doesn't work then I have more serious problems which would moot the issue of whether my GPU is dead or not.
Also, I don't know anyone and it's just not realistic for me to find another person with a desktop that they'd trust me to take apart just so I can test my GPU with their setup.

In the last thread, an anon told me to take my pc apart and unplug and replug all of the components and dust them off. I'm sure that's usually reasonable advice but I want to know if, at this point(my motherboard doesn't output video to monitor), it's worth the hassle of doing.
What are the odds some component(other than graphics card) of my computer is broken if I can still hear the computer running but I can't get video?

you can use concat for that, you need a text file with a list of inputs, something like

file 'image 2.jpg'
file 'image x.jpg'

on Windows I usually do a quick

for %i in (*.jpg) do echo file '%i' >> list.txt

from there most of the concat stays the same, you add the '-r 1' (or '1/2' for 2 seconds per image) and change 'libx264' to your desired codec

in a nutshell a hidden folder is a folder that has one of multiple flags set to true in its meta data, different flags will make the folder not visible to certain types of queries, and to make these directories visible or not, or even to make these special queries or not, you need elevated privileges, so if you're the sole user of your PC it isn't really hard to gain access to them since you have admin access

>>100362889
i'm not trying to make it hard to accesses besides just not having the folder visible to some normie fucking around

>>100362772
Wouldn't it just be easier to get a flash drive or external HDD and encrypt it?

>>100362974
Ah, yeah, there ya go. I had to use woeusb to create a bootable disk from Linux. There's another couple opens in flatpak but I haven't given them a shot yet

>>100362992
well the cringe porn is encrypted but the regular isn't. but the answer is no because it's easier to find a physical device lying around at home than a folder buried somewhere in the system. i got a new pc so everything is fresh and not much buffer the hide stuff between. i kind of want to avoid bloat this time too

I have a stupid question. I know my way around desktop, but not laptops.
Whats a good laptop for 3D modeling, such as Blender or Solidworks? Budget is around $1000 but I guess I can save up a bit more down the road if needed. Also, does every laptop come with Winblows 11? I'd love Windows 10.

>>100363280
thx anon

>>100363207
do not crate any partitions
delete all of them and use free space as target
the only reason why you'd want multiple partitions is if you use bit locker for full disk encryption (pro SKU or above)

Unlikely, as they're not in the registry. Unless they're standalone applications.

>>100363765

why does this youtuber's intro lag when watching on 2x speed (0:37 - 0:41?
https://youtu.be/EG6eSoJVWnY?t=36

i am pretty sure i first noticed this on mobile, but attributed it to my phone lagging on youtube regardless. but i was shocked to see it happen to me on desktop. i replayed it over and over, but it lags every single time, and by "lag" i mean it literally just stops showing frames (the audio still works, though), at some point in that classroom scene 100% of the time. maybe it's just my laptop not being great, but i never knew 2x speed was more demanding depending on what was being displayed, when the resolution and quality remained consistent throughout. sorry if you can't reproduce it on your machine, but i swear i'm not being schizo; i watch videos on 2x speed all the time, and this is the first time i have ever seen this

>>100364129
desu i tried watching it on 2x speed on the embed just to be sure, but it doesn't lag... i guess it's resolution-based, even though i wasn't even watching it on full screen on youtube itself originally...

Yeah, I keep rendering to desktop and anything heavy really. When I said modeling on laptop, I meant like modeling regular shit like character clothing, cars, etc. Not entire scenes. Issue with laptops is that I don't know which are good or bad because they're all garbage in my eyes.

This is very dumb and pleb-ter, but... I need help with Excel/Google Sheets.

File 1 contains order data from a sales platform ("External"); let's say around 200 orders, with all kinds of data in each column, but most importantly order numbers; let's call them "POs".
File 2 contains order data from an ERP software ("Internal"); let's say around 2500 orders, with all kinds of data in each column, including the POs. Importantly, it also contains internal company order numbers; let's call them "SOs".

Let's say I open the External file of 200 orders and quickly narrow it down to 30 that I urgently need to cancel. I put those 30 in a column in an empty sheet. I paste all the data from the much larger Internal file next to it.

How do I most quickly and efficiently find the 30 SOs I need?

Is it some combination of filters, conditional formatting, formulas? I'm totally new to this and didn't have any Excel training. Surely there is a better way than brute force 1-by-1 checking with CTRL+F, which wouldn't be doable with a larger data pool...

Ive never tried replacing these. Is it possible to remove them and apply thermal paste? considering they've been there for a decade or so i assume they are way past their prime.

in windows you can search for stuff like:

maybe you could start with that and then if you're aware you have any special image/video file types you can search for those separately

also if you're going to do a lot of searching across your whole computer make sure you've turned on indexing to speed things up for the 2nd 3rd 4th etc searches

if you have raw photo files in a folder mixed with meme images and screenshots you can probably view the folder in "details" mode and then (if not already there) right-click the columns up top (columns = "Name", "Date Modified" etc), click More... and add metadata stuff like I dunno, "Date Taken".

Then you sort by the metadata column and all the meme/screenshot images that is missing such metadata will be separated from your photos in the folder.

How can i keep a custom resolution in game (i.e cs2) and keep my native 2k when the game closes?

>>100363291
idk what blender wants specifically, but for solidworks single core performance is key for comfortable use. the reason is because of rebuilds, any time you make changes and want to apply those changes (technically you can turn off automatic rebuilds and do a bunch of changes at once), you need to rebuild the model, which is a single-threaded process which scales with the complexity of the model. there are ways to reduce how much needs to be rebuilt at once such as with speedpaks and probably others i don't know about since i'm self-taught, but naturally the less you have to work around it the more comfortable it is
other than that graphics performance isn't really important, like really who cares if your cad model renders at 60fps or 20fps. blender modelling is from what i understand more "hands on", so a higher fps might be desirable there
as for windows, you can just install windows 10 on it yourself, it's usually a good idea to do a fresh install to get rid of any "value add" bloatware they tend to preinstall on pc's anyway (they put that stuff on there to make the machine cheaper, since it's basically a form of advertising)

depending on who you ask it's either 2048x1080 (the proper definition of 2K, used in digital cinema), 1920x1080 (close to the previous DCI 2K), or 2560x1440 (by people who don't know what 2K is)

>>100368413
>2560x1440 (by people who don't know what 2K is)
Makes sense.

>>100368504
2K and FullHD are basically interchangeable, even though they're from different specifications (digital cinema vs. hd tv), they're close to the same resolution
same goes for 4K and UltraHD
1440p being labelled as 2K is something you only see in some marketing material by people who just use whatever words they think people would recognise, there's no standard anywhere that says 2K is or is close to 2560x1440

>>100368386
>the gba sp is the only gameboy with an internal rechargable battery
ah whoops. i guess the camera just drains the battery, like how a DVD player still consumes some bit of electricity even when it is off

>>100368770
i don't have a great amount of experience with cameras, but from what i've seen they do tend to use a little bit of power when off, such as the internal clock as mentioned, so you don't need to set the clock each time you turn it on. the family camera we had when i was a kid also had an always on lcd showing a few things such as how many exposures remained (film camera). nothing that uses a lot of power, but if you leave it unused for months at a time it adds up
the gba sp on the other hand has a hard power switch and uses absolutely no power when off, as there's no clock or sram or anything that needs power while it's not in use (if a game needs a clock or sram, then that is contained in the game cartridge, along with its' own battery for that purpose)

>>100368504
>>100368360
it's just the industry switching from measuring height (1920x1080 = 1080p) to width (3840x2160 = 4K, the width rounded up).

i think 2560x1440 should be called 3K, since 1920x1080 would definitely be 2K when you round up the width. nobody uses 3K though and calls that 1440p

>>100368840
2560 is actually exactly 2.5K, as the "K" numbers are using binary prefix
like 2K is 2048 and 4K is 4096, so 2560/1024 = 2.5(K)

>>100368840
DCI 4k is 4096x2160. Goyslop 4k is 3840.

>>100368895
3840x2160 is officially UHD (UltraHD), an HDTV standard

>>100368840
the reason TV is measured using only line count and scan type (1080 lines, [p]rogressive scan), is because it carried over from analog television, which had only line count and scan type. there was no discrete horizontal resolution, as it was an analog signal. like ntsc is 480i, not 640x480i, or 720x480i, just 480i, the effective horizontal resolution can vary depending on various factors and it will still be completely valid ntsc
