The small "Unifying Receiver" that came with your mouse/keyboard should be able to run both of them.

You need to install a piece of software to set this up though.
Previously Logitech used "Unifying Software", but it seems like they've discontinued it.
Now they are suggesting you use "Logitech Options+" instead.

I have done exactly what you're trying to do with Unifying Software many times, but you can try the Options+ yourself if you want to have a supported option instead.

Yes, that is the right one.

You should make sure that your products do support the Unifying protocol though.
Underneath your mouse and your keyboard there will be a logo like the one in your picrel.
If it has a "lightning" logo instead (my picrel), your need to get a "Logitech Bolt" receiver instead.
Alternatively, if there's a Bluetooth logo, you can connect it directly via that, without any dongle at all.

You can also check this list, if you can't see any logos at all.

Reposting from last thread:
I want yt-dlp to watch youtube on mpv with subtitles, preferably subtitles made by the author of the video and, if that fails or there are no subtitles, then and only then, it downloads auto generated subtitles, but only the english ones, not translated ones to other languages. The args I'm using are:
--embed-subs
--write-subs
--write-auto-subs
--sub-langs "en.*"
--extractor-args "youtube:skip=translated_subs"
And it doesn't work. It keeps fetching hundreds of translated subs and I end up with a list of 157 subtitles, most of which are null but that I have to scroll through to find the proper ones. How do I fix that. I don't want to see subtitles for anything that isn't english, I don't want them on the list.
Another annoyance is that with those auto-generated subtitles, mpv by default shows subtitles on one line, then the second line, and then instead of removing both lines and starting again from the top it will replace the first line with the new one while leaving the second line as is. I'd like it to behave like normal subtitles on anything else, it shows both lines, then replaces both lines of text with the next ones at once. How do I do that?

I'm sorry, both for leading you down this path, and also for not replying to your last message.

If your mouse/keyboard is not Unifying compatible (orange logo), the dongle will not work.
This also means that it's not possible for you to connect multiple hardware (mouse+keyboard) on the same dongle.

Alright, thanks. I guess I have to order the $15 one specifically for my G305. Keyboard doesn't matter as much.

You don't. Most likely other tenants are running their connection maxed out and you're just getting QoS'd down to match. You could try Cloudflare Warp or whatever they're calling it to see if your ISP is selectively throttling certain services. Seems really unlikely they would throttle Steam because that's like a 90% use case for high speed connections.

Win7 anon here. I use its built-in automatic back-up function every day at 6am for my image folder. While normally it backs up only new files, after a full year it forces itself to back-up every single image all over again, doubling the back-up's file size on my external. Can anyone explain why this is and how i could stop it?

>>106944002
use a 3rd party backup tool.

Generally, it's a good idea to do a fresh backup every now and then on top of incremental daily backups. It might also be set to keep the previous backup for a set period of time.

I'm unsure of if W7 allows you to modify the retition policy, but a 3rd party tool should give you that level of customization.

>>106943122
It just goes by IP. 4chan programming is ultra lazy if the last few years weren't a clue.

>>106944002
It's an ultra-primitive backup format cribbed from IRIX, like a lot of NT era tools. If you read the man page for xfs_dump it makes perfect sense.

Basically it just dumps the ntfs directory structure to file and then layers diffs on top, but it doesn't bother implementing removal because they'd have to handle fragmentation or tank restore speed. On IRIX it was originally intended for tape where you need to start fresh periodically anyway.

Use a modem 3rd party to like other Anon said. restic for instance.

yeah I think it's a good price. Make sure the PSU is good. You could upgrade to 9800x3d or whatever AMD comes out with next. I'd take the deal anyday.

With that price range why not look for a new laptop? You can probably look for somewhat older models that might be discounted as retailers are looking to get rid of them. Unless the reason is you're thinking models that use to be $1000+ are now falling into $1000 or less due to being used.

so Youtube is using a proprietary subtitle format called YTT (it's the srv3 format in your list)

you may however convert it to .ass (yes it's an actual format) using this converter: https://github.com/arcusmaximus/YTSubConverter

>>106949814
1350mAh is essentially the same as 1300mAh, 3200mAh is about twice as long in practice, you can think of it as twice as big even though the battery is the same size. Bigger also means longer to charge but that also depends on charger.

You can use Watts to find out how long, but again in practice 3200mAh is about double 1300mAh, 2000mAh is somewhere in the middle.

>>>/diy/stupid
also it sounds like a wiring issue if it trips different breakers. normally breakers trip because they are GFCI or because they are overloaded (old school TV and vacuum on in the same circuit) both of which is unlikely if you're actually tripping different breakers with nothing else (or just lights) on them. So you're left with faulty wiring or a bad microwave.

Thus you can get an outlet tester and check for yourself and/or bring in another microwave and/or take your microwave to a friend's to see if you can narrow down the problem. Again core assumption is that different outlets are tripping different breakers because at least SOME are on a different circuit and that breaker/circuit doesn't have a fancy GFCI or other "wet area" fault interrupt built in.

>>106949964

>The stock Nintendo 3DS battery has a capacity of 1300 mAh

>>106949871
either the microwave is faulty (drawing too much current), or you have too many things running on that circuit.

you could rule out a fault by using a wattmetre to measure how much power it's drawing and compare that to it's rated power draw. if it's operating normally, then you may need to identify what else is running on the same circuit, and how many amps that circuit can handle.

>>106950241
>>106949871
>or you have too many things running on that circuit.
to be clear, i don't intend to mean a high count of devices, rather their combined power usage doesn't leave enough for the microwave. like if it's a 16A breaker and there's 6A of stuff constantly or regularly running, then you can't use a 12A device on it (for long), as you could end up using 18A of power, which will trip the breaker

Anons, I am a terminallet, that is, I have never used CLI in my life. I've been on linux for some time now and got some basics figured out but was wondering how to properly use yt-dlp and these other -dl CLI software. Where do I go?

>>106951116
open terminal and download them from their repo or your preferred package manager (I recommend scoop) then type for example yt-dlp --help to get started

>>106951116
>>106951155
my bad I initially read your question as looking into getting into linux. scoop is for windows. most linux distros should have apt as the package manager

>>106951166
I have both Windows and Linux (Mint) so both is useful advice. So the in-CLI help is the best way to get started?

>>106951116
if we're talking /from-scratch/, then we'd have to start with arguments. they're text you enter after the command to give the command some context regarding what you want to do.
the first things you should run if you don't know what to do, is;

application --help

or

man application

these will often provide details regarding what arguments are available and how to use them.
there's some commonality between arguments and their usage, like for example -v/--verbose is a common way to request more detailed output, but each program may have their own rules regarding argument names and how they want them written. arguments are typically case-sensitive, so if something says to use "-D", they really mean "-D", not "-d"

>>106951185
yeah, the --help arg (or -h) usually tells you how to use the CLI program you're using as well as detailing the arguments you'd want to use
again as an example, simply typing

yt-dlp "youtube link"

downloads the youtube video in the youtube link you provided, however adding the --format argument like so

When I try to change the wallpaper on my Google Pixel it's always slightly zoomed in with the edges cropped out. Is it possible to just directly replace the "wallpaper" and "lock_wallpaper" files without rooting?

LUKS or VeraCrypt will prevent scenario A.
But once quantum computing actually gets a foothold, the tools will have to evolve.

Only VeraCrypt will prevent scenario B.
You can create 2 encrypted volumes with VeraCrypt, and have 2 different passwords unlock.
If you're forced, under distress, you can reveal the password to the "fake" partition, where you would store some non-discriminating things (like config files and credentials for random shit).

This week I'm interviewing an internet fren who works one ASML. Or podcast or whatever you want to call it. I'm making a list of what I should ask him. Some personal one liners to warm up and then some job stuff. Lithography, design. We did some math learning together during covid, I got a physics PhD.
Any ideas for questions? What would be interesting, or good for a convo?

I need an affordable USB drive with high-ish speeds (For a USB drive anyways) to turn into a bootable Linux drive and for some storage. I'm thinking a 256-512GB size since that's in the realm of affordability since the last time I'd looked at them. USB 3 and USB A preferred but I can use C.

What's actually a good thumb drive that balances speed, reliability, and price? I'm leaning on a SanDisk one but there's options out there and the market for random hardware is so wonky these days with manufacturing defects and formerly good manufacturers going to shit. Preferably like $35-$50 max. Any suggestions?

>The LG OLED65C41LA TV is a model with QLED technology

Why is this TV allowed to be named "OLED" if it is actually QLED?

>>106952603

it's a whole other technology, i'm actually looking for an explanation.
here's the "real tv":

>c44 instead of c41
>qled not mentioned on the page

>>106953858
i'm not familiar with that website, maybe they're just confusing "QD-OLED" with OLED or QLED? like you can have both "Q" and "O" at the same time

>>106953858
>>106953955
(on that note though, i do wish that'd stop calling LCDs with LED backlights "LED TVs")

>>106953955
I don't think that site has made a mistake, I think they just auto-copy details released by manufacturers. Otherwise someone has a really boring job typing stuff out.
It's really hard to find info on the C41 "OLED" version with QLED, I suspect it's a model released in markets where the laws are so relaxed that they can get away with deceptive naming (the TV uses "OLED Motion" for motion interpolation so it's totally not deceptive at all to then use QLED for the display).

Don't use baby shit or hand shit, it usually contains oils (moisturizer, fragrance), exactly the stuff you don't want on your monitor.
Slightly moist cloth, microfiber or fluffy towel, should be enough.
If your monitor has a polarised coating then avoid anything with alcohol.

Is it possible to see the date a cellphone pic was taken, and to disregard any other date?

I'm re-backing up and migrating all my old photos and I was hoping to group them by year but it seems that over the years of moving shit around, new phones, etc that many of the pics now have file creation dates of when I got a new phone or moved the file and not the date I took them

Every picture should have EXIF data, if your image viewer doesn't show that info then it's a shit viewer.
Also, image collections should be managed with a proper program, not your standard manager. Things like ACDSee and Digikam.

>>106954490
The originals will often have metadata (EXIF) for the date, but depending on how they were backed up or transferred, that metadata could be gone, which is why I tend to use the date/time as the file name for my pictures.

I'm updating the bios in hopes that will fix it, but I have no idea why the bios is looking 6 GBs of RAM away where the OS cannot use it. No settings to change it either. So weird.

I want to buy a new main drive and set it up with veracrypt and Linux, what disk should I buy, what M2?

I want data preservation and security

I bought the 26tb Seagate external HDD when it was on sale, not to shuck but to use as a backup for my NAS which I am also setting up.

However, I noticed that the drive constantly causes windows explorer's file browser to freeze: I expect this with external drives when first accessing them or opening up a big folder, but with this drive it happens even after a folder has been open and I just haven't touched my mouse in a while, I guess because the drive spins down and for whatever reason the computer isn't keeping what it read before in it's memory for more then a few minutes

Is this normal? also, if this is normal, how would a NAS not constantly also take a while to open any folder or file? Do their OS's keep the drives constantly spinning or something wheras an external HDD does not?

That's some super deep cut chinkshit. I can't even find it on aliexpress. As a rule you only buy SSDs from companies that make flash. If you buy from an off brand they should be doing something special. If it's just cheap, that's because they're inferior media from a company that makes flash and putting their own sticker on it.

Western Digital have never failed me with SSD, though neither has Samsung. One of my Kingston SSD did start to behave strangely making me replace it.

SSD and PSU are not something you should skimp on (especially PSU). Maybe it's ok to go cheap on a SSD if you are 100% sure it is fine if it die at any moment, like if you only use it to install your Steam library games on. But your primary OS and data SSD should be good.

But why does it back up everything all over again after a year?

Occasionally I'll get a message that I'm permanently banned for 'Tor/Proxy Exit Node' or something and it says I've been banned since earlier this summer. But I only just switched to my new internet service this month. I was using a different provider for a few years before and haven't had any problems until now after switching. There wouldn't have been any tampering with it since the equipment was brand new in a sealed package.

And then in a few minutes when I check back in again, I'lI be unbanned as if nothing happened. I can't look up the message in the history tab either. I should have screenshotted it.
I don't use any proxies or anything. The router doesn't have any special settings. The apps I have installed are basic photo editing/painting software and games. I use librewolf with ublock/privacy badger, violentmonkey (for webm sounds), and a webp converter. Those are my only plugins I have enabled. I don't think have anything shady installed that could be causing this.

I just checked a minute ago and there's no ban message so this post will probably go through without issue. Do I write a message in the ban appeal section the next time it happens or wait it out again? It says I can buy a 4chan pass to bypass it but I didn't need to do that with my previous ISP. I've tried clearing all my cookies/browser settings but it still happened again. It happens randomly too. I'll be fine for several hours, then suddenly banned, then 5-10 minutes later unbanned, then fine for a few days, then banned/unbanned. And I don't do anything, I just go back into the banned page and do the captcha and see if I'm banned or not. I haven't changed my IP or reset my browser since setting it up earlier this month. A few days ago there was a blackout but it only lasted for a few minutes. If my IP did change it would have been from that, but it only would have happened that one time.

As said, it's a good idea to do a fresh backup every 6-12 months, regardless of your daily incremental backups.
It likely is just set to do that by default and isn't set to delete the previous backup (it's usually a good idea to keep at least 1 or 2 older versions of your backup).

I have a nobreak that is ~1.5 years old. The power just went out very briefly and the battery didn't kick in, despite being charged, resulting in power loss. Power came back a second later.

The question is: does this mean the nobreak is likely faulty now, or just that it needs a battery change? It still protects me from outages usually, but this is the second time where it drops the ball.

>>106956233
Because it can't delete anything from the original backup set or previous deltas. The format isn't that sophisticated.

I installed windows 11 LTSC IoT on x250 to x270 and sell it for 150 bucks in my SEA shithole, Should be running just fine if you only use it for browsing, media players and light image editing. But in that case you might as well daily drive linux on it.

I use linux, but this one isn't for me. I also have a x230 as my main laptop.
And as I said, there just isn't that much of a thinkpad here and what we have is overpriced. Specially the x series.
Do you source yours locally or get from other countries around you? In SEA it should be easier to get this stuff from china and japan, no? Those seem like they'd have a big market for business class laptops.

>>106956769
locally... from distributors who import it from nips. But the newer T series here mostly came from NA. My T14 came from leaf land.

Just get an X270 then. It can run NVMe drive on both main slot and WWAN (2242 B+M) slot. Performance hiccups with windows 11 shouldn't be a concern on it, especially for normalfag basic tasks.

yes, currently posting from a latitude 7400. quite decent machine, but the build quality isn't as good as old X/T series. I'd recommend you the Latitude 5000 series which is cheaper and yet sturdier than the 7000 series.

then 5280/5290/5300 should fit the bill if Dell is indeed ceaper there. it has the same footprint as X230. 5280 is the equivalent of X270 for Dell but with dual sodimm slots, 5300 is even better than X280 and X390.

Sure it's cheaper but I feel like you only consider it when new is out of your budget/price range. With you going all the way up to $1000 you might as well get new. But if you still want to go used look into Thinkpads like the other anon says. Or business laptops. Should be able to find something below $500 ideally.
Might even be able to find old Lenovo Legion laptops which are GAMING laptops, but they still might be cheaper. Will probably still sound like a jet engine once you do anything above watching videos though.

It just depends on your needs. HDDs are usually preferred because they're generally cheaper and last longer. You can use flash memory like SSDs and USB flash drives, but they need to be powered every so often. If the device will be powered on often then that's not too much of an issue.
Externals are usually the drives that didn't meet a certain mark for the manufacturer, and without warranty. At least when it comes to HDDs.

I just followed the landchad.net tutorials to set up my very first VPS and website and replace the password login with SSH keys. The thing is, I'm on wangblows, and I did everything in TightVNC because it's recommended by my provider, so all the keys are on the server. Was I supposed to use PuTTY or WSL to make them on my 'host machine' so I could keep the private one on there and do ssh-copy-id to put only the public one on the VPS?
Did I just put a 'free use' sign on my server's asscrack?

What >>106958619 said but it's not exactly a free use tattoo, more like the keys are in the first table you'd see when you enter and if someone does enter (either through a vulnerability or just through physical access), it's the first thing they'd see.

Bad sectors you can tell with anything that can read SMART data (crystal disk info, or distros disk application for *NIX)

SMR likely has a (likely CMR) cache to help smooth the writes it has to do, and when it decides to write the cache properly it blocks the disk for the duration, likely causing your issue, enabling write caching (in RAM) should help mitigate this issue

You could try removing the Samsung drive and installing a separate OS on the remaining drive. You only need this for a test.
If the issue persists, wipe the new OS and put the Samsung back in.
You could also try Linux in a live environment, suspend the computer a few times and see how it behaves. Bonus is that you don't have to touch your current OS or drives for this.

you'd think there would be ways to do near lossless removal of black bars, at least with some more modern codecs

What do you mean power supply? Aren't both power supply and ssds supposed to have fail-safes?

Blu-ray videos? I'd just leave the black bars desu. There's really no downside to leaving them in. If you're going to re-encode the video, then remove the black bars, if not, just leave them.

i have something building in wsl and it's going to take a while and im really tired but windows knows when i fall asleep or leave and it shuts down and updates. what do i do

i think i'll go to bed and if that happens, i will ditch windows forevrer

How do I start torrenting? I have a home server with plenty of storage. I want to move off Netflix and Prime because they never have anything good.

I know I need Jellyfin on TV and I can work out other elements like servarr and qBittorrent, but I’m not sure how about the nomenclature. Indexes, trackers, seeders etc.. and where do I find places to torrent from? And how do I know if they are safe?

I’m interested in video and audio fyi

I'll have to try the latter suggestion as I can't really just really try the former. It's also random, so that's why the latter sounds like it works best. Thanks.

hello

>>106960122
what i use;
kodi - frontend, with the jellyfin plugin to sync their libraries
jellyfin - obviously
sonarr - tv show downloading
radarr - movie downloading
transmission - torrent client
prowlarr - manage torrent indexers for sonarr/radarr

i like transmission specifically because you can disable seeding entirely. i don't seed on my home connection, only on my vps, as i'll get letters otherwise

as for basic torrent terms:
indexer - somewhere which lists and tracks torrents, usually a website, like thepiratebay or 1337x
seeder/seeding - someone who has all the data for a torrent and is sharing it to others
leecher/leeching - someone who has some of the data and may be sharing it to others
peer - a seeder or a leecher
tracker - a service which can be used by peers to find other peers, public ones can be used by anyone, private ones require a key to use
infohash - a unique string which identifies the torrent
magnet link - a link which contains the infohash for the torrent, given to a torrent client to have it find the torrent metadata
torrent metadata / .torrent file - contains hashes and filenames for the data it describes, kind of like an archive but with the file data removed

What are some methode to make your CV more attractive to future employers?
I have a degree but very little practical experience in anything, so I'm looking for ways to look less like a loser on paper.
Are certifications and online courses worth a dime? Internahips are hard to get when you're not in college anymore

Because electricians aren't telecom workers. Auto-muhdix fixes it anyway.

The standard is pick one and use it on both ends of the same cable.

>Aren't power supply supposed to have fail-safes?
No. Some PSUs claim to protect against cross wiring, but it only a tiny minority of them do it effectively. There is no protection against out of spec ripple, which is like 99.99% of PSU fault equipment damage. You can't even test for it without a rig that costs 25x more than the PSU. This is why you don't buy cheap power supplies and swap them out if you even think they're acting sketchy.
