Where should I go to pirate games and utilities?

I read the rtings article but I genuinely am still too retarded to understand Black Frame Insertion/Strobing. To my understanding a 120Hz monitor can display 120fps, if I turn on BFI, it now only shows 60 rendered frames with 60 black frames inbetween each, right? But when I tried it, it still feels like 120fps in terms of responsiveness and fluidity. What am I missing? Also, what's the point of BFI on OLED monitors where response time is already at close to zero ms? And why is it so badly implemented on most monitors, it sounds so simple to do?

I do not understand how multi-layered neural networks are "trained". I do not undestand backpropagation and gradient descent. I do understand how a single-layer perceptron is trained but it is quite different and much more simple to a multi layered perceptron.

Generally you need the website's cookies, at least one of them will be some login session token. Curl and wget should be able to accept cookies, either as a direct CLI parameter or as a path to a file where you paste them.

Since you said you "tried several things with wget", did that not work somehow? Normally session cookies is how auth works pretty much always; it's possible though that the website does some really weird javascript fuckery that fucks it up and somehow auto-logs you out if you don't have JS.

>>102844610
>I do understand how a single-layer perceptron is trained but it is quite different and much more simple to a multi layered perceptron.
It's very much a similar principle.
Look up general optimisation ideas. Gradient descent is not an ML concept, it's an optimisation concept: the idea is that you have some "solution space", and your scoring function is a surface inside that space (e.g. imagine a line graph on a 2D space, or a 2D surface inside a 3D problem space), and the optimal point is either the lowest or the highest. So at any given point, you take gradient where you are and then follow it either up or down, to try to find the highest/lowest point.

ML training is literally just applying general optimisation principles like this across large matrices of calculations. It's an implementation detail, if you will.

When you download a video but the download fails some portion of the way through and you're left with just a part of the full thing, is there a way to manually combine the right portions from multiple files (that contain only parts of a larger video file) into the whole video file?

Like say I'm downloading a video 1GB in size but the download keeps failing around the 250MB part or thereabouts. If I try 3 or 4 or even 10 times (let's say) then I end up with a folder full of part files, cumulatively in excess of 10GB.

Is there a chance that the full video file is contained within the sum of some number of chunks from these part files? And can I use a program or script to combine the chunks from the part files into the whole video like putting together a jigsaw?

Or do the first N bytes of every partial download of the same file look the same i.e each download is repeatedly downloading the same part of the full video each time, then stalling, thus meaning the full video isn't contained in my folder full of numerous failed downloads?

Any help much appreciated.

>>102847078
Where are you downloading the video from?

>>102847078
Wouldn't the download always start at the beginning of the file though? So the partial files would all be of the start of the video and never contain the ending?

Set battery charge limits, using something like tlp.

I feel the most likely thing is that you bumped... something, though it's hard to say what. Poorly lodged memory sticks? Power supply, or power connectors somewhere?
Hard drives are vulnerable to bumping, but the effect would've been data loss and corruption, not a PC reset.
I don't think it's the cooler - getting off the CPU for 0.01 seconds during the bump wouldn't be enough to cause any issues, and you clearly didn't permanently dislodge it because it reset and continued running fine afterwards.
It's possible you did bump the reset button somehow. Or shorted something somewhere.

Welcome to systems languages. Would you prefer Rust, known for its ugly syntax, or C, known for retarded convoluted pointer casts?
People complain about syntax in different languages but the reality is that if you wanna manage the complexity of fine-grained type and memory management, AND want to do so at minimal to zero runtime cost, it can easily get convoluted.

>>102849166
>retarded
the double casts
anyway it explained in the lesson furhter that i could just disable the warnings and use int to index and then just cast the arr.size() to int if i ever need to, guess i'll do that

>>102849198
aghhh i also forgot that there are forrange loops and interators (didnt learn those yet), problem solved

>>102849198
Seems weird, I don't write C++ but it seems like you could just do

for (size_t index = arr.size() ...

and avoid the casts. Does the lesson mention why they specifically want to loop with an int?

The distinction between "size types" and "normal numbers" is in fact important in any systems language, and you're gonna have to deal with it somehow either way.

yes they showed all the ways that are common to do it, even some more complex ones such as building a view for a container type and to implement the operator[] using int indexing

It's probably somewhat easier to tell all the pixels on a panel to turn themselves to their maximum possible value through some weird circuitry stuff that bypasses the circuitry that otherwise puts data into the pixels. Whatever it is you need to do exactly depends on the panel in question. So, it's more like you've got 120hz of data interspersed with 120hz of black that's not really seeing each other until the last physically possible moment.
It's not about response times, it's about reducing blur. If the pixels are all forced all they way off/on, they don't retain their values from the previous color frame and end up showing you something that was halfway in between.

I'm moving in with my gf and I don't have a good way to run ethernet from where her modem is to where my computers are. I'd like to set up a wireless bridge so at least everything between my PCs will be on wire, what should I get for that?

>missing pins
this is pretty common especially for older monitors, as they don't require all the pins, in fact one pin should always be missing because it's a key pin. others are no-connect or for features not all monitors use. i have a crt monitor here from 1996 with 3 missing pins, it's not damaged and it works perfectly
>the only video mode it works with is 800x600@60hz, any other mode makes the screen freak the fuck out
it probably doesn't support anything more. one time a long time ago i used to have a monitor that supported literally only 640x480 and 800x600, and it had a switch on the front to switch between them. seriously, like you'd set your computer to 640x480, and it'd display garbage with the switch set to 800x600, and vice-versa. only monitor i've ever seen do that. i guess some early vga monitors just don't have what is needed to sync to a wider range of frequencies automatically. my 1996 monitor which i use sometimes is a lot more flexible

Like the other anon said, the prompt matters a lot. What people tend to use are extensions for their editor, which basically build on the old idea of copilot by adding things like autocomplete from the model, but also provide e.g. an easy way to chat to the model and ask questions or request specific changes based on the code you're currently working on. And those extensions come hardcoded with some potentially pretty lengthy prompts to make sure the model behaves as desired.

For example, here's an open source extension's prompts: https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim/tree/main/lua/avante/templates
planning.avanterules is the main one, and the other two (without underscores) build on top of it.
You can see how different it is to simply opening a new chat with claude and directly asking the question with no context or other instructions.

On windows, I currently have two drives, D: and E:, that are almost full.
I bought a new drive that's bigger than both of them, and I want to make space in my case for future upgrades so I'm moving all the data from the old small drives onto the new big one.

The problem is that now anything that used to refer to D: or E: will have its paths broken. Program configurations, shortcuts, etc.
Is there a way, on windows, to somehow mass-fix that across the entire system? At least
a) to have one drive refer to a different one now (e.g. E: move to N: or whatever); but ideally also
b) just change the location referred to by the thing - e.g. E:/Sneed/ becomes N:/E-drive/Sneed/

I don't mind if it's a script that takes a few hours to run through my entire system, or some kind of symlink type solution (though the way windows handles drives makes me skeptical that a symlink is possible). I don't need to reuse the drive letters for anything so if for example there's a way to make D:/ and E:/ just be links to the corresponding folders on the new drive that'd work perfectly for me.

I feel like you're using more in quality of life from not taking advantage of its speed, than you are gaining in value from not having to replace it as quickly. Especially considering that in practice, there's a not-insignificant chance you might end up replacing it anyway either to upgrade to a larger one, or because you replace your PC or something, before it even has a chance to develop any issues. (Unless you're absolutely certain that you're gonna keeping it in your PC for years to come - my current boot SSD is about 11 years old by now, so perhaps it really is your usecase...)

Anyway, at that point, I feel like you'd have been better off just not even buying an SSD at all at that point.
If you feel it wasn't that expensive and not that much money spent on it, then stop worrying about potentially replacing it in several years.
(And if you're just worried about data loss from a sudden failure, this won't help you because sudden failures are SUDDEN. You need backups either way if you want to protect against that.)

How to create offline copy of website with wget, including all the assets?

>>102857345
You can use "subst" in command prompt to create a fake "drive letter" that actually just refers to a folder on a real drive. So you can put your new drive in F:, create two folders inside called "D drive" and "E drive", and use subst to create fake D and E drives so that all your programs and scripts keep working.
If you want this to happen at every startup you can put it in a batch file or task scheduler or something.
There are some stupid problems with subst when you create it as a non-admin, because then admin programs can't access it. I have UAC turned off so it's not my problem.
"Subst" uses the DefineDosDevice Win32 API internally, which means someone has probably created a GUI program that can do it for you, if you don't want to fuck with batch scripts.

Alternatively to that solution, you can make 2 partitions on your new drive, which will naturally appear as two drive letters. But that means you have restrictions again and need to more carefully split your data between the two, and resizing partitions takes a long time. So I don't recommend it for general cases.

Cockli for normal services, you can create as many new accounts as you want (especially now that invites are gone)
Protonmail for stuff that's cucked and considers cock to be a "temp service", you can also mostly create unlimited accounts but there's an annoying captcha to solve, and I think in recent years they added a bunch of rate limiting so if you try to spam multiple throwaways in one go it'll stop you. But you should still be able to create new ones now and then

Anon, a matrix is LITERALLY a grid of numbers. That's literally what it is. There's nothing magic about it.
I suspect you're getting blocked by your own mind more than anything, you see a matrix and you immediately get scared and think "I don't know what a matrix is!!" and just shut down. Or you see a greek symbol and think "oh shit a fancy maths symbol, I don't know what this is!!" and shut down.

It's not scary. The only things you need to learn about matrices are how to actually add/subtract and multiply them - multiplication in particular has a few rules to remember. But again it's not magic, it's literally just a grid of numbers, so when you ask "how do I multiply this grid of numbers by that grid of numbers?" the answer isn't quite as obvious as just say simply multiplying two numbers - you need some rules to make it work consistently, and mathematicians ended up deciding on a set of rules that makes the most sense and is useful in the most amount of cases. That's all there is to it.

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. The drive letter substitution is separate for your normal account and your account as admin privileges IIRC. So you need to run it once as a normal user and once as an admin.

Especially the answer where it shows the registry modification. Since this registry key is inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (rather than HKEY_CURRENT_USER), it would logically apply to both admin and non-admin users, you don't have to fuck around with task scheduler shit running on logon and don't have to fuck around with the admin/non admin problems. Personally that would be the way I would choose now that I know about it.

1 Gbps connection? You should connect your laptop or some other device directly to the router and see if you get those speeds on speedtest, if not time to call a ISP tech and have them look at your line.

Check if the Spectrum router has a "Bridge Mode" for one of the ports and just connect your router into that port and then all your devices to your TP-Link router.

Powerline can have higher latency, depending on your house wiring and whatever's connected to it (fridges, microwaves and electric ovens in particular). I used to use powerline for a couple of years and the ping to my router was 2 ms when it should be 0 ms. Still much better than WiFi however.

I started playing a game on my toaster and I'm having a strange issue. Basically, it has insane microstutters, even on the lowest graphical settings. The thing is, they "feel" like shader compilation stutter. For example: I enter a battle, and can barely move or react to enemy attacks because of the unplayable stutter. But if I just do nothing and let the battle play out, die and then restart, it plays just fine at 60fps without stutters.
It reminds me of emulator that stutter when a new animation/shader is used for the first time, but it's smooth afterwards. The problem is that it happens every time I play the game, so I always have to purposefully die once every battle just to restart it to properly be able to play. It sucks.
What could be causing this? I never encountered something like it and I've been played PC games for years.

There is no reason to use almost any chrome clones. They pretty much all just add their own botnet on top of google's botnet; just use vanilla chrome at that point and then at least you'll have only google.
There are only a couple of exceptions. Chromium is the open-source versions of chrome; slightly better than stock. Ungoogled-chromium is chromium with extensive patchsets to remove any connections to google; if you just want stock chrome but without google, it's the way to go, but comes with a couple of inconveniences such as not having google-powered automatic updates (fine if you're on a package manager, but requires manual updates on windows) and not having the extension store (download what you use by hand and install them from a folder).
There's also Brave, which is divisive but at the very least it has an actual reason to exist as opposed to just adding an extra layer of spyware. It's not that bad.

Other than the three chrome-based choices, the only real alternative is Firefox. It's not horrible either, though it's gotten markedly worse in recent years.

Outside of selected chrome variants and firefox, almost everything is barely worth using.

YOU ARE RIGHT BUT THE TEACHER JUST DIDN'T TEACH ANY THING AND WANT HIS STUDENT JUST COPY ON GITHUB, THEN SHOW HIM THE PROJECT, I'M IN A STUPID COLLEGE.

I've always done clean OS installs in the past, but considering just upgrading to Windows 11 and not dealing with starting over
How does it work? Will my already installed programs still function or do I have to reinstall them? Talking about shit like foobar, mpv, steam, photoshop

My 144Hz monitor shows up as 143.998Hz in Windows. This isn't generally an issue but some games see this and only run at 143Hz in fullscreen, which causes an annoying black screen when alt-tabbing. Some won't even run like this at all unless I disable VRR. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

>>102860565
That sounds like a lot for new students but I'm guessing they assume people will just use PajeetGPT so they only try to keep you busy. Just fake it like everyone else but learn how the things work.
>>102860643
You keep everything. There's even a thing now called in-place upgrade which lets you sort of "reinstall" windows without losing anything. Still, I would advise against W11, it's still objectively behind 10 in performance.

This usually indicates some kind of hard freeze, are you running any kind of overclock or maybe an undervolt?

See if you can change to 144Hz instead of 143.

I've run into something similar where if the screen is connected through DisplayPort it won't come on at all when the computer turns the screen off after X minutes.

>Still, I would advise against W11, it's still objectively behind 10 in performance.
Yeah I don't want to do it. But with support ending next october, I probably will before then, I'm in no rush though.
And I know support ending doesn't mean you have to make the switch, but I'd rather just keep an up to date OS than be stuck behind

>>102861053
I've used powerline before without issues. I can't say for sure which will be more stable, though.
Would you have line-of-sight? If you can buy beamforming wireless, it's probably going to be the best solution.
If not then I genuinely don't know. Your house's power probably doesn't have THAT much noise; meanwhile EM noise is everywhere, especially with multiple devices communicating. But wireless networking has been significantly optimised over decades to work even in really busy scenarios, while powerline is a kinda niche ad-hoc solution, so I dunno.

>>102861104
Do they not continue support for LTSE editions or anything? I remember when windows 7 support was "ending" for like 6-7 years straight.

Hello sqt

On my old pc i could put a pci card on top of the graphics card (picrel)
but my new one only has pci slots UNDER the pci expresss graphic card slot
How badly could a pci soundcard under a gpu hinder its cooling due to reduced airflow? Would it harm performance noticeably?
Best regards

is anyone else having regular errors uploading images to 4chan

>>102863103
Such a small card would maybe increase your GPU temps by a degree or two, which is less than you could gain by dusting your god damn computer.

Astalavista, mate.

My ROUTER is having random disconnects that last anywhere from 30 seconds to 1-2 minutes. Sometimes they happen 3 times a day, sometimes they happen once every 3 days. It is NOT my PC.

My ISP shows no outages and nobody else is reporting outages on downdetector.

I had a very similar issue about 2 years ago where the ethernet cable from ONT to my router was loose and I had to recrimp the RJ45 heads. But those disconnects were much longer and eventually become permanent.

Could my issue right now be loose connectors like 2 years ago? What other possibilities are there?

i'm currently doing a lab for my cloud computing class and its based on openstack, i keep on running into an issue where i set up a nova-compute service, it activates, but then everytime i try to list it, it just says it's unavailable, anyone have any solution to my issue? its frustrating as hell.

>>102863577
Do you have some kind of fatwa against spare Ethernet cables? Why haven't you tried swapping it out already?

>>102863776
The cable connecting the ONT and router is a like 150ft long and goes through my house so it's extremely difficult to swap out.
When I had the issue 2 years ago I just recrimped the ends

>>102863577
How old is the router? Is it running the latest available firmware?

router is fairly old, ive never updated the firmware

I'm copying ~2TB from one HDD to another, on windows. Write speeds fluctuate between <10MB/s to ~100MB/s every few seconds.
I've noticed significant slowdowns when copying lots of small files - presumably some NTFS bottleneck writing the metadata - but right now this is happening while copying a few hundred gigabytes of music files of semi-uniform size, so it is definitely not that. It will literally stagnate at like 2MB/s then jump up to 50MB/s then jump around wildly between 50 and 100-120MB/s and go back to 50, then drop back down to 10, then drop below 10...

It's been copying for a while now so it's definitely not some kinda cache issue. The system is completely idle otherwise, nothing should be reading or writing or using the CPU in the background. (Neither of the HDDs are the boot disk either, so not even the OS activity should interfere.)

There's steamcmd (and wrappers such as steam-cli or steam-tui), which is... their other steam client, if you want? It's limited in functionality but it's also much much much smaller than the behemoth that is the entire normal graphical Steam.

Otherwise, there's the normal methods, that also work equally well for their (and anyone else's) "not FREE" games.

>>102871581
>It makes no sense downloading steam and making an account just to play these games.
Generally speaking, sometimes it does (from the developer's perspective), especially if the game has any sort of multiplayer functionality: with a steam account it can "just work", outside of steam it needs to have its own account system.
For truly single-player game that don't need any sort of account functionality... then yeah, you're right, but I suppose steam has literally zero incentive to add some kind of parallel functionality where you can download some games directly without logging in. You're absolutely right in that it WOULD be nice, but people like you are such a niche minority that I'm not surprised it isn't possible.

AFAIK you can also relatively easily make a steam account with something like a cockli email, and you don't need a phone number either if all you want to do is buy and play games.

The other issue with steam, is you can't use it to play quacked games with their compatibility layer.

>>102871910
What do you mean? If by quacked you mean cracked, you just add it as a non-steam game and it should work just as well as any other non-steam game.

>>102871993
>delay to what??
He's clearly talking about the connection latency, you tardus

>>102872029
So. "Delay" means the time to establish a Bluetooth connection when speaking of Bluetooth devices? It doesn't mean an actual lag?

>>102872044
Anon do you even know what "latency" means
Here have a wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)#Audio

It means the time between the device having prepared a bluetooth data packet to send, and the receiver having obtained the data for processing. Not necessarily relevant for playing music, but definitely relevant for anything that requires audio synchronised to any other input or output - such as watching a video (let alone playing games).

>>102872093
So "lag"? Yeah I know what that is.
Got confused about the whole "connection latency" thing.

>>102872112
Yes, though lag is a colloquial term that can mean different things (e.g. people can often say that a game is "lagging" when the FPS is low, which has almost nothing to do with latency).
Connection latency is the latency of a connection. I don't see what's confusing about that. The time it takes to establish a connection would not even be considered latency at all in any normal context (you COULD concievably call in that in some very special cases where you're constantly connecting/disconnecting and the time between connection initiation to completion is somehow materially important, but not in any normal scenario).

>>102872190
>>not properly replying

>Highly fragmentes files doesn't help
I suppose that might be the issue. I do find it surprising since that place specifically was like a few hundred gigabytes of music from one torrent, downloaded when the drive hadn't filled up very much yet, so I wouldn't have expected it to be THAT fragmented - certainly not to the point of 50x speed fluctuations within adjacent files.

Anyway, after I had completed copying the 2TB windows was just being utterly schizo and for example not even remembering the contents of the folders on the source drive. I'd right click it and it's say 0 files 0 bytes inside, then open it in explorer and freeze my PC for 2 minutes until it'd finally open the folder. So I decided to reboot the system (well, turn it off, I'll turn it back on after work and see if it behaves then). I guess windows just really doesn't like copying 2TB and 500k files over ~15 hours.
