Looking for an audio mic to replace my shitty head set. I'm done having to speak up to have people hear me and the thing itself just having relatively poor quality despite being $100.

I have $100 I'm willing to drop, and extra if I need an armature.
Reqs:
>needs a mute button
>better than a headset microphone
>NOT USB 3
>Has a popfilter

Also i'm asking here because /wsr/ is dead and this board has no dedicated microphone thread.

This is the one everyone's been using since sounds "came back." It makes sounds when you expand images. Syncs audio to otherwise silent webms too.

I've been having problems accessing 4chan as of many months ago when initially a lot of people on the site were having the same problem. browser would give "out of date" message which would lead me to a cloudflare link, images failed to load at all I was unable to post. JDownloader would be unable to download at all and give a cloudflare error message. I was using 4chan for many months before this first happened, then my family changed internet providers and 4chan worked again, then two works later it stopped working again, now its randomly working again, jdownloader downloads, website loads, normally, I can post. anons, what is happening? how can I prevent this from happening, how do I fix the problem when it happens? Do I need to make a phone call to my ISP to fix the problem on their end? I also tried to use flaresolver to fix it but either im too retarded to figure it out or it didnt work

What Wifi7 router should I buy? I currently have an Asus AC68U, but I'm getting a 320Mhz Wifi7 motherboard for 9800X3D so figure it's as good of a time as any to modernize.

Can't run ethernet to my desktop or home theater setup and I do run into bandwidth limitations streaming 4k BD rips over local wireless network via Plex, so at minimum would like to fix that. Currently in a ~800sf single-floor apartment in only a moderately congested area for the foreseeable future, so don't really need mesh capability. Also don't want to spend more than $500 or so.

I'm looking at the Asus BE92U which just came out a few weeks ago. Also considering a single Zenwifi BT10 or BQ16, but seems like a pretty big price gap for something that's more designed for a larger scale mesh network. There's also the TPlink mesh routers, or even just getting a Ubiquiti Wifi7 AP with either their gateway or rolling my own with a cheap pfsense box (not sure I care about the extra tweakability).

Should I just wait until CES to see what's coming out in 2025?
>>
>>103009557
Not sure there's really a go-to. If you don't already have batteries, whatever you can pick up from your local craigslist/facebook marketplace, made in the last 5 years. Tons of people buy them either for themselves or their kids and use them one time, so there's a lot on the market and the prices can vary wildly. GoPros can overheat, but usually only when youre doing long captures and charging at the same time (streaming), or in 100F+ conditions.

Sony and DJI were always a bit cheaper than GoPro new, so that might help. I'm sure at this point there's some solid chinkshit cams too.

Found an old CRT CCTV monitor which I have in my room near my PC, what's usually the preferred way to connect it as another screen? It only has analog rca inputs.
>>
>>103014203
there's various "hdmi to AV" type converter boxes you can get, i don't have any specific recommendations regarding their quality, but i doubt it matters all that much really. it's composite. it's not going to look great. especially if it's a well-used CCTV monitor, which may have some screen burn just due to how those are used
if you were looking at /capturing/ analog video, that's another story, but generating analog video is pretty simple. while not an exact comparison, i have a vga monitor i have connected to my computer with a chink DP > VGA adapter with literally no branding on it and it works as well as anything could, no complaints at all. capture cards on the other hand i have had a few and they do vary in quality considerably. capturing analog video is harder than creating it, so the cheapest of those i wouldn't recommend

I'm running an ubuntu server on digitalocean that I use for a private mediawiki. The other day I went to run some routine maintenance and update things, but the server locked up. I ended up rebooting it 24 hours later. I'm only able to access it by switching to a recovery ISO and booting that rather than the hard drive.

The specific error I get ouside of recovery mode is:
>Kernal Panic - Not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)

I'm trying to follow this guide:
https://robert-askam.co.uk/posts/kernal-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block-after-ubuntu-upgrade

Though, when I get to the step "sudo dpkg --configure -a" it does a few things then spits out an error related to dpkg. The section about the --configure error seems to relate to my issue, but running the listed commands spits out similar errors. For my server it seems to be linux-image-5.15.0.124-generic, though some errors say 5.15.0.89.

I'm not sure where to go from here. I can roll back my droplet to a previous snapshot, but I'd lose a lot of data.
>>
>>103014465
>For my server it seems to be linux-image-5.15.0.124-generic, though some errors say 5.15.0.89.
i don't know much about what state the machine was in, but being unable to boot and getting inconsistent kernel version information could be caused by a partial kernel update
like for example if the kernel is replaced in / but /boot still has the old one, it will be unable to load additional kernel modules, as they've been removed, which in most cases means it won't boot properly
i would chroot in, re-run upgrades and also perhaps force reinstall the kernel image as well, and update the bootloader if updating the kernel image doesn't trigger that on its' own

if rolling back a snapshot means losing a lot of data, you should also take a look at your backup solution. it's kinda pointless having snapshots if you can't practically use them

What like gaming PCs? If you have an IQ of 80 or over you're better off blindly following logicalincrements builds. Just read the motherboard manual and watch someone else do it on YouTube if you're still not clear.

When you buy pre-built you're covering inventory risk and labor costs which don't exist for people buying individual components. The only way pre-built can be price competitive is if you combine it all into one device like a Steam Deck that can move in lock step with GPU releases.

I need some help
so I recently moved to Firefox from Chrome, and this little difference about how the scrubbing works is actually kind of driving me insane

So in the webm you can see that for me, scrubbing a video on firefox is like... laggy or something, I don't know how to describe it, it doesn't stick to where my mouse is, and it feels sticky and slow and non-responsive, where as in chrome, it just goes to where my mouse is.

Can I make firefox behave the same way as chrome?

Ok so, a bit ago i've reinstalled my OS, full wipe, chose to kept nothing in order to wipe out any potential malware etc.
However, it seems like some files from before the wipe survived. I ran a bunch of anti-virus programs including eset and they found nothing wrong, so my question is:

Is the fact that a lot of non-essential system files survived the supposed FULL WIPE a retardation of windows, or am i infected?
Furthermore, the option to chose "erase all" kept lagging out, i managed to switch it on during the last step but it basically was switching back to keeping most files untouched up until then.

How should i re-install my windows again, but make sure that nothing at all survives this time? The only low-tech solution i've got is to just wipe my hard drives with a magnet, and then reinstall from a thumb drive.

Sincerely, retard-anon.

sounds like you didn't actually fully wipe the drive or you missed something. during windows setup you usually have the option to select and delete all partitions of a drive. i don't know where you see the "erase all" option. there's no way the files can remain if you delete all partitions, create a new partition and reformat it. anyway speaking about malware, i'm pretty sure you're safe as you've already reinstalled and scanned with different tools.

>>103020665
If you copy it enough you fill the drive (assuming no deduplication) so any files written to it are ACTUALLY purged (formatting doesn't delete/corrupt files in a drive as that would take a long time so they just mark the sector(s) as empty and fill it later, this can also allow you to recover files you accidently deleted, but in your case (probably) your system was finding files like "did you want this file?")
So you may not need to purge it

Prebuilts have all the wrong parts, that's what's wrong with them. The parts for them are picked like:
>all parts bad
>all parts mediocre
>all parts good
Which doesn't make much sense to me personally. I want *at least* a good SSD and more than fucking 8 gigs of RAM, even for a budget build.

lol, you typed that into a search engine and took a page.
Unable to find root could be caused by various things, you can't just whim an explanation. It just means "disk drive could be there or not, but the root filesystem surely isn't"

My GPU only works when I either reset windows or unplug it, plug in onboard GPU, run DDU, shutdown, and replug it. (same for old gpu)

Vega 56, Ryzen 7600x, Asus b650-TUF

If I boot my PC Normally it will only work for about 10 seconds before everything freezes except for file explorer where all my files show as blank.

My solution for this was to reset Windows and keep the PC on for a month until a crash happens then repeat

Recently I have tested all my hardware, unplugged everything bit by bit and the PC worked when I took out my GPU and plugged it into the onboard.
So I thought my GPU might be fucked and I plugged in my older one an R9 285x. Which initially worked as well but only for the first boot after which it didn't work as well anymore likely due to the drivers having installed

So after this I decided to onboard again, run DDU, shut down after and plug everything back into my Vega 56. I have to do this every time my PC crashes or shuts down otherwise I get the freezing issue again.

Anyone got any clue?

No it doesn't, you got lower quality components than you can even buy for a custom built.

High quality parts never die except for HDDS and sometimes SSDs. And even worse then you need to send it in, be without it for over a week, with your data on the drive in their hands, where as if one of my parts die I send just that in and continue using my PC.

I need more insight on Obsidian before I go all in for journaling. I had my own system that is simply a datetime, some fields, and some text in plaintext files. but Obsidian intrigued me cuz you can add images, link between entries, visualize stuff easily. and it's all markdown so it's pretty resilient for future changes.
but looking at other people's examples, I have a feeling that Obsidian is more geared towards making a big-ass interconnected network of entries, and that might not be the best way to keep a journal. like, I do think the thoughts I want to jot down could benefit from links, references, and relations. but I'm not sure if a simple journal is better, or if I should have both separately.

I'm not cool, so I wouldn't know, sorry friend.
I just linger here and a few other threads trying to help however I can

I know this is retarded but I've always had a vague superstition about using drives with large storage ("large" relative to ~2012 when I stopped thinking), I feel like they're prone to higher failure rates so my desktop only has a 512GB m.2 ssd for Windows and whatever else I throw on it alongside a 1TB sata ssd where I throw [everything else]. I'm tired of juggling the ~100GB I have left on either so in my next build I want to bump up to a 2TB m.2 primary and a (whatever I can afford TB) secondary but I'm still afraid of shit breaking within a handful of years just by virtue of being bigger. Can someone just confirm I'm being a fucking retard about this?

And I don't want more than those 2 drives because I like to keep my case tidy, m.2 was a godsend and I don't want to go back to having even that one extra sata cable... but I will if I get a bigger tower I guess.

I've got bad news for you anon: you're cool.

Yes, you're a fucking retard.
If anything smaller SSDs have a higher chance of breaking because of the way they work.
Look up "wear leveling" and what TBW ratings are (they're generally higher on bigger drives)

Wooooaaaah

Thanks anon now I can buy the biggest assest drives I can find with the most peaceful of minds

Yeah reliability pretty much always goes up with larger drives because there are fewer components per unit storage. There's always one retard who goes "oh man, i don't know if i trust one drive with all that stuff" because he's a flaming poorfag and doesn't have backups. Ignore him.

in my case i wasn't bothered about drive failure as much as the amount of data i would lose if a failure did occur
but on the other hand 1TB of data is still a fuckton compared to 90s / early 00s but i moved away from my old reliable 8.4GB (or something like that) hard drive years ago
anyway, you're fine. do backups if you're scared

What goes for SSDs you want bigger. More flash -> more writes. But for HDDs you are sort of on the right track as you should look at the density.

You are likely UEFI-booting where you have boot entries that point to specific UEFI executables on the UEFI system partition(s).
