Mac SE and Classic should be easier to get peripherals for and actually use. Toaster Macs in general aren't very interesting outside meme value. They look different and make super kino noises, but you can run all the old software in emulators. A PowerMac would be more interesting from a retro computing perspective.

I use uBlock on Chrome, and I was on Instagram when a speech bubble box popped up in the bottom right corner of my screen saying something about AdBlock on Microsoft Edge stopping blocking pop ups.

How do you enable h265 hardware acceleration on MPV on windows? Everything I try to look up either tells them they have a GPU that doesn't support h265 or they're using a Linux distro and I have no idea what they're talking about.

I recently bought a prebuilt computer, new from HP.com.

I've had it for about a week, and I am getting a hard freeze every now and then. Keyboard and mouse don't respond at all, it's just like everything stops entirely and only holding down the power button will get you out.

Sometimes the lights on the keyboard stay on while it freezes, but sometimes they go off, like it itself has lost power as well.

It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing. The first time it did it when I was away, another time I was typing here on 4chan, another time I was playing a game. The system just like stops for no reason.

And then some days nothing happens at all.

Getting super agitating. Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to try to fight the warranty on this one because "trust me bro it'll freeze in 6 hours or so" probably won't be easy.

Is there a name for some usb-c which is thinner/longer/somewhat compatible?

For example I have hyper-x keyboard. It has usb-c on keyboard side which I can connect to normal devices. However normal calbes can't be fit inside because their outer exterior of plastic hit into the wall around the hole too soon and it's the only usb-c cable I can fit inside.

Second device of interest is steamdeck: it seems usb c port got overused and now that extra long/extra thin cable is the only cable out of 6 I tried that steam deck can be charged with, so I kinda need extra such cable if I want to use caable and charge deck at the same time (I don't want to replace charger port yet)
>>
>>101591569
First test the drive, the ones with defects fail early. If that's not it try a full stress test (AIDA64 or something) and see if causes it to freeze, that's a good enough reason to RMA no matter the reason. If that doesn't work either it's probably some bullshit like a loose/frayed wire/connector and you'd need somebody competent to have a look.
>>101591619
For speakers, sure. For headphones, maybe.
>>101591807
I don't think there's a specific name for them, you can search for "slim" or "low profile" but there's a lot of garbage to sift through. Also one of the main points of Type C is that the cable should wear out, not the port, so I'm not sure how you managed to fuck that one up.

Is there any way to change the potplayer images playlist default time from 10 seconds to something else?
Or, is there any media player able to do playlists with images and videos that isn't vlc or potplayer?
>>
Everytime when I play with my PS5 I love to leave the screen on at the console HUD as some sort of wallpaper while eating or having dinner for around 20-30 min

I notice this creates image-retention despite I have turned on a setting for the brightness to turn down if left inactive for 5 min
I have a LCD screen, now I know image-retention/image ghosting is harmless per se and eventually goes away after a few seconds or minutes (last time took around 10 min to fully go away)
My question is: Will doing this repeatedly will become harmful for my tv in the longrun? Should I change my habit and turn off the screen instead? I know burn-in is basically non-existent on LCD so I shouldn't be worried about that, but I feel a little paranoid about this

>Your TV doesn't have a screen saver?
Doubt, it's almost 20 years old, but I do not want a screen saver anyways, otherwise I would just turn the tv off

I mean, I like to watch at the game's "wallpaper" while eating, it's not like if I go to another room in the meantime
I'm not concerned about if it creates a image-retention because I know it will go away shortly after, but I'm worried if image-retention is a bad thing if done daily and if it might damage the tv eventually

i know the mac SE is superior from a hardware standpoint than the macintosh plus, but i like the look of the macintosh plus and 512k a bit more
the power mac 9500 is also pretty interesting looking for a 90s model, but if i get a PC meant to look like a 90s one, i'll probably go all the way and build one meant to run windows 2000 instead or maybe an ancient linux distro
i guess that goes counter to what i said since i was interested in 90s PCs, but i should specify that i'm kind of more desiring 80s computers
overall though, maybe i should just get an SE instead of the plus or 512k

I recently picked up a Dell PowerEdge T610 and I want to host an in-person video game tournament where the players don't have to bring any equipment. Can the server host VMs that handle all the processing and the user just uses a cheap potato computer to remote into the server VM? Im talking games like Unreal T ornament 99 or Counter Strike 1.6. Maybe a little more recent if possible. Am I thinking about this correctly or is there a better way to host something like this in person?

Specs are:
384 GB DDR3 10600

It might depend a lot on what speakers and headphones you're plugging into it, although I'd imagine you're going to have the issue of sound coming out of both at the same time.
>>
>>101594536
Edifier R1280DB and Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohm. I don't want it to play through both at the same time, I just want an easy way of changing audio source so I can quickly select headphones and put them on without fiddling with the back of my pc.
>>
>>101594685
Maybe you should get a USB DAC. it'll show up as just another audio output that your can switch to whenever. Even the cheaper dongle shaped ones (more easily found by searching for "usb headphone jack") have basically okay quality.

my shithole country does not allow recording any public area due to privacy laws. I think you can record like The "bare minimum" of the street if you have like a camera doorbell or a security system but it has to be very little, im not sure how much lee way they give

but technically, it should be the local police that are responsible for the public areas such as the sidewalk in front of my house. They're just never there nor putting any security cameras despite several instances of youths destroying car mirrors and vandalizing mailboxes.

They even drag the garbage container on my street to the middle of the road to block it, temporarily, people have to get off their car and move it back to the side of the road

My buddy builds arcades. He’s trying to fix up a game. Alien Extermination (I think it's from the 80's). The frame rate is too high, and he can’t figure out how to lower it. He says everything is moving way too fast.
Would you guys know anything about that?
He’s running it on an emulator called "TeknoParrot".
>>
>>101595516
thats probably a chip or something. The thing with old videogames is that their speed is literally tied to the processor cycles or framerate, they're programmed that way.

So tell him to look for some kind of switch on the motherboard that changes that

(i have no idea about arcades)

>>101595228
join them, pretend to get drunk and smash, slash, and burn shit so much faster and harder than they do that cops have to get involved. Rat on everyone in exchange for immunity. Then move to another city.

Or you can use a gun to solve the problem permanently but you'll have to flee the country.
>>
>>101595542
It may not even be a matter of a switch, you may need to swap out a discrete physical oscillator component that governs the rate at which the processor cycles.

I don't know what has been causing it but since around a month ago whenever my PC shuts down or crashes, I have to go through a a rigmarole of check disk and reinstalling microsoft edge because if I just open it after restarting every other program, the task bar, and file explorer all freeze up and stop responding.
>>
>>101595542
>>101595569
guess you missed the "he's running it in an emulator" part
>>101595516
this one?
https://teknoparrot.com/wiki/compatibility/AliensExtermination.htm
the first faq entry is about the game running too fast. evidently the machine he's running it on is more powerful than the original hardware
these newer arcade games are sometimes run on regular pc hardware running windows, just perhaps with special extra requirements like specific controllers or security hardware added on
since they're basically just windows games, you can run into similar issues as with other old windows games, and sometimes some less common ones since you're dealing with games meant for specific hardware. games running too fast is not unusual to see taking a game made for a specific computer and putting it on a faster one, since the game may have simply been made to run as fast as it could, limited only by the speed of the original hardware
>>
>>101595748
would help if you knew the name of the emulator then
>>
>>101595768
he mentioned that as well, "teknoparrot"
though i'm not sure i'd personally call it an emulator, since it's designed to run pc-based arcade games on pc's that aren't the original ones, while i haven't looked into how this one works since i've never heard of it before, i'm certain there's no emulation going on. it's probably just some hooks to allow people to use their own controllers and the like with said games
