I recently noticed my monitor has a "trail" left by my mouse pointer on dark backgrounds

It's not like, the clear/crisp afterimage of the mouse cursor itself, but rather a very subtle haze or cloud of brighter pixels around the mouse, kinda like what it looks like when you apply pressure to a screen and move your finger around and you can see the swirl of the liquid crystals and such

Is this normal? I've never noticed it before

Did you start later or are you in the same degree that you started when you left school? If it's the former (even if you started later due to previously failed different degrees, psychological problems, another failed form of education or because you neet-maxxed), you're at a disadvantage to your peers, but it's far from over.
If it's the latter, you're in pretty deep shit. Not unrecoverable, but "this will take serious work to fix and there might be different easier paths".
In this case you should be honest with yourself, figure out what bright you where you are and then be realistic about what steps you need to take to fix it and if you can take them, or if you can't, to find different paths. In the latter case you pretty much can't get to your position without something having gone wrong, and to quote:
"There are no mistakes, only lessons. A lesson will be repeated until it is learned. Learning lessons does not end."
So you'd do well to learn the appropriate lessons.

in any other browser there is a slight delay when the cursor gets hidden, this is fine. in chrome it goes away instantly the moment the video plays, and stays hidden despite mouse movement. that part is annoying as shit

Probably no one remembers nor cares, but I posted a problem here and an anon tried to help, I fixed it now.

I am setting up a tiny NAS with a Pi5 and the Radxa Penta SATA Hat running OpenMediaVault and everytime I changed it to a static IP I completely lost access to it (running it headless) and I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Well I had to connect to the Pi and found out the kernel changed the ethernet's device name rom eth0 to end0, no fucking clue why as it never changed before setting a static IP. And I tried multiple times and reflashed the sd card a bunch of times. Maybe OMV is changing something it shouldn't? Whatever, adding net.ifnames=0 to cmdline.txt fixed it.
No clue why it happened, especially only after setting a static IP.
I was feeling really retarded for fucking up something so simple. So there it is, thanks to the anon who tried to help.

Not an option, the more elevated part doesn't have space beneath it/on the underside, it's got a series of drawers there.

That's why I'm looking for something I can put on the surface that just evens out the transition line, and I guess gradually inclines into the rest of the desk, like the magenta thing in pic related (keep in mind i'm exaggerating the size of the gap/height imbalance here, it's only like 1.5 - 1.8ish mm, in fact the 2mm mousepad I had is almost exactly the right height to make it even, but it's that mousepad I want to extend over the gap without a noticable height difference

I've been transferring my media from a 6TB drive to an 18TB drive today and it's taken over 10 hours to transfer 5.7TB worth of stuff. Are the sata cables I'm using not fast enough or is it a motherboard problem? Both are fairly new so I wouldn't have thought it was that.

>>106653403
>If a lock for your apartment is changed, what do you do with the old, useless key?
Probably throw it away.
>can you sell it to a locksmith for re-use?
No. Keys are cut from blanks, once a key is cut, it has material removed, so the next key can only be made from a previous key if each groove is deeper or equal to the one on the previous key. This fact, plus the fact that it makes cutting harder with less material and that blanks are cheap means no one will bother.
> or sell it for its metal?
Yes but you don't get much as it's not much metal and most places buying metal have a minimum amount that's far higher.
> can you do any DIY project with one
If you look up "key diy project" you'll find plenty of stuff, mostly for really old keys, but also more modern ones, usually as decoration. I personally find most of them don't look great though. If together with the key you also got the cylinder, then that's a bigger deal, makes for a great challenging practice lock for lock picking.

You confuse the units if measure, and there's a difference between interface speed (max throughput of the cable+chips) and disk throughput (max read/write speed of each disk) and transfer speed (minimum of all the above minus OS, filesystem, and data alignment overheads).

Ye, just replace the ram. If you go with 2 sticks of ram (instead of 4), make sure to put them in the right slots so you get dual channel (the online motherboard manual will say which to use).
CPU-Z can check the dual channels as well. Also, on that same memory tab, don't be confused that the ram frequency is half of your ram's frequency, the DDR speed of your ram is naturally double the ram frequency.
Enable XMP in your motherboard after swapping them out and it should select the right frequency.

I think you're over-complicating it, two sticks of 16 or 32 GB ddr4 non-ecc 2666Mhz, that should be a wrap.

>>106657752
If you have a Z series motherboard, you can use 3200MHz ram, which has a bit faster performance in games

no /gedg/ in the catalog so i'm asking here:
how do you build SDL_image and SDL_ttf as static libraries? building SDL statically is easy enough:

cmake -S . -B build -DSDL_SHARED=OFF -DSDL-STATIC=ON

but as far as i can tell, those flags don't exist for image and ttf.

I have a 3.5 inch 6tb drive that I bought second hand for cheap, now I want to sell it but the problem is it has 2 nasty scratches on the logic board underside (there are no broken or split traces, just 'whitening' from removing the board "coating"). It has never given me problems, smart says all is fine but I know I will get questioned about that to whoever I try to sell it. So I want to run SMART self-tests to assure the buyer its all good. Problem is its taking too long! Short self-test completed without errors in 2 minutes, but the extended self-test was taking almost 6 hours before I had to stop it to go outside.

Some people say 24 hours for a drive this long is not unusual, is that true? I dont have a case with fan and it runs hot (my only computer is a laptop) so I have to point a desk fan over it, which I dont like to leave running while im away from home.

A full surface scan under ideal conditions would probably be like 12 hours, so 12-24 is not unreasonable

I have this extension, a simple gallery viewer for 4chan: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/490894-4chan-gallery
It's great but it doesn't work for b4k, is it possible and how would I get it to work? I tried being smart and add a '@match' for b4k, the button is there but it doesn't load anything

are wireless android auto adapters any good? are there any which don't have chang components that will disintegrate from all the heat generated?

>>106658173
Wew, thanks then. I guess I'll say there's no need for a full extended disk scan, as the scratch is only on the PCB.

For some reason, when it gets to around 8-9 pm london time, my connection with 4chan goes to shit.

I checked with the speed test and other sites, it's fine.
I excluded extensions because during the day it works fine.
I tried rebooting, I tried disconnecting and reconnecting to the network. Nothing changes.
I tried on another device same network, and I have no issues.

I am using an a7000 netgear but if that was the issue I should see it everywhere

>We've detected a problem with your cookie settings.
bros, I just got back home after being gone for a bit under a month (I assume that's related, but not certain). Now all the *.google.com sites on my desktop are giving me this cookie notification. Laptop I brought with me is working fine even though my Firefox settings are near identical.
I have tried:
>Disabling uBlock Origin
Didn't change anything.
>Clearing cache
Didn't change anything.
>Clearing Google cookies
It worked until I restarted Firefox, then it went back to this bullshit.

Bad paste, maybe.
It should last for 3-4 years easily, how do you even know that it dries up?
I use the cheapest paste that came with an old cooler in 2010, no signs of drying.
I haven't even checked the new PC built 5 years ago, but it's not overheating or anything so why should I...

>>106658139
6TB full test in one day is reasonable.

>>106658367
A friend has something like that and has to unplug it every day in order for it to work. I wouldn't bother.

>>106658434
I fixed it by changing to google's dns

>>106657826
Bad paste, maybe? Try GD900 off of Aliexpress, really good stuff for cheap according to some folks that pitted it against other kinds folks tend to use in the West. I've repasted my machines with the stuff.

What in the god damn fuck is wrong with IPv6 and how does it seemingly get worse every time I look at it.
>ISP correctly gives a /56 and supports PD
>the prefix changes regularly
>there still literally is not a single sane way to deal with this
>they've additionally fucked up ULA prioritization ranking it lower than IPv4 completely fucking up NPTv6/NAT66
Why in the year of our fucking lord $currentYear is the best solution to using IPv6 in your network still just not using IPv6?

The extension seems to be hardcoded for some archives instead of checking the whether an archive is foolfuuka or not.
In the editor, search for desuarchive, there are two switch statements in the code that need to be changed.
Under desuarchive (or any of the values for that case in the switch statement), add

case "arch.b4k.dev":

>>106658851
Original idea was so everything could have it’s own IP address for direct targeting from the internet.
That became an insane security risk and NAT became popular, so the need for IPV6 is debatable.
My VM host let me keep IPV4 addresses for years now for free, so not that scarce.

temps are normally around 60-70c under full load for weeks after repasting, then they shoot back up to mid 90s barely under load after a couple of months. I always find the paste spills outside the die area and thins out. tried with tm30 twice and mx-4 and it's the same deal. maybe they're both cheap trash or it's user error?

Any reason I shouldn't buy this monitor? It's ancient, so I could probably talk the seller down quite a bit, but I'm worried about defects I may not notice immediately. She claims it's in excellent condition, doesn't list any problems.

I'm already running a 2560x1440 Korean monitor from over a decade ago, which has a flickering backlight if I put the brightness too low. I'd honestly keep using it if I wasn't limited by it only supporting DVI-D, meaning I'm stuck trying to find a not-shit active adapter or using decade-old graphics cards.

>I am fucking retarded, let me preface this question with that. I know hardly anything about hardware.
The overwhelming majority of users don't know anything about software either. Don't worry about it, but if you get bashed for that here, it is because the asshole replying to you likely has a shitposting dependency or is severely brainrotted and/or shut-in. We get a bunch of such total losers here.

>>106658861
Thanks, it seems to work. It's a bit wonky and to make it properly work I scroll through the entire thread so it loads everything first, then open the gallery viewer. If I try to open the gallery viewer first it doesn't load everything

>>106658936
>She claims it's in excellent condition, doesn't list any problems.
She can claim whatever she wants, but if it's been in use for 15 years it's unlikely to last for much longer.

>>106659076
yeah LCD panels even if they work over time will get a bit of temporary image retention and the capacitors to power the fluorescent backlight will age out
for a bit more you can get a new 32" 4k 60hz panel that will have the same vertical height with more width and much better pixel density
it might not soothe the 16:10 autism but its time to move on

It seems arch.b4k.dev does additional lazy loading in js - it only adds the .post_image src attribute (stored in it's data-src attribute) when you scroll near
I think this userscript solves it? Gifs still don't seem to work tho

fuck you no it's not

I run my main monitor in portrait. I don't need more vertical space. I don't want more pixel density or to have to rescale things. I want more width and that's it.

Holy fuck this is beyond annoying. There's no way my fingers got fatter over the time it took to update.

>>106659403
the point is that that a 32" 16:9 is not going to be any smaller in that dimension than a 30" 16:10
in portrait mode you get the same width

>>106659683
>in portrait mode you get the same width
You don't. 32" 16:9 is 15.6" wide in portrait mode. 30" 16:10 is 12.2" wide in portrait mode.

Went looking for an external USB DVD drive to read older discs and every product had a 5-10% 1 star review saying it was basically broken, even as you moved up the price scale.

Is there any way of buying one of these and getting some measure of reliability. I'd like to just one and done a purchase for the rare occasions when I ever need to read an optical disc from now on? Any brands making these who are actually reliable?
