I recently found one of these CD players my parents got from (I think) a couple decades back. It doesn't seem to work but I like how it looks, should I just get a new one or have CD players not improved enough in the past 20 years to make a difference in audio quality? Also bonus question: if I do get a new one, are there any that are good, cheap, and also look cool?

If you're encoding for target bitrate, then the file size is roughly the set Target Bitrate (in Kbps, for example), multiplied by amount of seconds in the video (which can be calculated by dividing the total amount of frames by the FPS, if you're also changing the FPS or something). libvpx and libvpx-vp9 often overshoot though, unfortunately

>>109204348
there's little difference between 6 and 6E, in a typical small home envinronment you should be able to hit 10GbE with either
there's a bigger difference between 5E and 6 than there is 6 and 6E, if you want to use 10GbE you'll at least want cat6, but if you can't justify 6E then 6 is fine

cat6e is just cat6 but with the plastic spline expressly included. The spline gives you the same theoretical 100m bandwidth as 6A but without the shield required by 6A. Hooking up shields correctly in residential is no small thing either.

It doesn't matter either way currently. Theoretically some future consumer Ethernet hardware may be able to leverage the extra bandwidth, especially over 50m+ runs. Same way high performance cat5 from the 90s negotiates higher data rates than it's supposed to now.
>>
>>109206125
Transmission doesn't implement BEP 42 DHT security so it wastes a lot of time relaying botnet control signals instead of torrent info. Sometimes it goes a day or so without connecting to a legit node.

rtorrent and Bigly are better qbt alternatives if you want good DHT.

If the fields aren't dependent on any other tables, or the fields aren't dependent on each other (high probability with that many fields), etc, then sure. Classic database normalization constraints - in the real world, you generally want your table to be 3NF normalized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization#mwSg
You can probably split it into multiple tables, or maybe you can't, if after normalization they all make sense to be in that one table.

no, if you want a massive increase in performance buy a 1660 super or TI for $80 on ebay or facebook marketplace.
unfortunately it has a 8pin power connector, but that's fine if you have a 300+ watt PSU (check that the 12v rail is rated 300 watts, some PSU's lie and put 100 watts to the 5v/3v/-12v rail), you don't need a 8pin connector.
You can buy a cheap 2x molex to pcie 8-pin adapter on aliexpress or just walk into a local repair store that hoards old parts and ask for a free adapter (they WANT to get rid of it, they will not charge for it), old GPU's would be packaged with this adapter.
I assume you don't have a 6-pin pcie power adapter, but a 6pin power could also work, IF all 6 pins have wires (6pin has the same max wattage rating as 8pins, but 6pin could have a lower wattage), you could try what I did in the picture with a 1660 TI (just connect black ground wire to the 2 sense pins, using a spare useless molex adapter I had, the wire does not pass any power).
Or replace the PSU ($20 PSU's that are rated 350w on facebook marketplace), but maybe you can't replace it because you got one of those weird proprietary Mobo PSU connectors / proprietary PSU dimensions that old prebuilts have.
>>
>>109205771
>>109206883
*But if you really want it to be powered purely by the mobo, and it needs to be new, you could get a 3050 6gb, but it is not cheap.
It's not faster than the 1660s/ti, it just matches, and note the 8gb version has a 8pin connector, and it's 20% stronger.
On the bright side it has DLSS, but normal DLSS will give you more a big FPS boost compared to native, the 3050 6gb does not have enough power more FPS, so if you have a 1440p monitor, I think it's worth it since you are going to upscale at the same internal resolution as a 1080p display, but at 1080p I think DLSS is very sad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILN9Cofppfo
Notice that DLSS 4 has a higher FPS, but it creates a smearing effect in some games such as the leaves in expedition 33, and DLSS 4.5 fixes that smearing. Also this is a review of the 8gb GPU, so just round the fps down by 15-20%.

The rx560 not having extra power pins was not a deliberate choice, I bought it used and didn't initially realise it

I a 500w psu which should be capable enough to power something heftier

I was already kinda afraid of it tho, it's too old and too underpowered to bother with I guess

Used gpu prices are ass atm so I'm undecided on if I want a new gpu (for like 2 or 3 games I care about)
>>
>>109207169
>Used gpu prices are ass atm so I'm undecided on if I want a new gpu (for like 2 or 3 games I care about)
The 1660 super / ti is good value, the rx 560 is just ewaste, because IGPU's are just stronger (such as the steam deck, or ryzen mini PC's with a 780m igpu).
A 5060 ti 8gb is absolutely going to last 4x longer than a 1660 ti/super. Because it has more than 3x the FPS in the best case scenarios AND there are enough AI cores to actually use DLSS correctly to increase FPS by 20% or more.
But if you have a weak cpu, you might not notice a huge upgrade over the 1660s/ti, it could be less than 2x improvement in FPS (but only if you don't enable DLSS!).
I forgot to mention, the 1660s/ti supports FSR 3 and FSR 4 int8 through optiscaler. But I think FPS gains are not good enough (maybe better for 1440p or very very low internal resolution).
My metric for bang per buck is to use a good comparison benchmark (same reviewer + same hardware + same settings, ideally all the GPU's in the same graph for a specific game), look at the game you care about, look at the FPS, then divide the cost of the GPU with the FPS, that's the cost per frame.
So if a used 1660 s/ti is $80, and a 5060 TI 8gb is $400.
the 1660 ti gets 40 fps on cyberpunk (ultra settings, 9800x3d), and the 5060 ti gets 120fps.
That means the 1660 TI has a cost per frame of $2
And the 5060 TI 8gb has a cost per frame of $3.3
But when you reduce the graphics settings, the 1660 TI can reach 80fps, you can't really go far above 120fps with a 5060 TI because the CPU is not fast enough so maybe just 144fps, which means the 1660 TI/super has a much better looking cost per frame of $1~.
And the benchmark is using a 9800x3d, some CPU's like 4 core-8threads (like a 12100f/ryzen 5500), can only reach 90fps with a 5090.
>>
>>109207401
>(but only if you don't enable DLSS!).
OH DLSS does not fix the CPU bottleneck, I think I just completely forgot what I was typing there.
>>
>>109207401
>used $400 gpu
Just buy a new RX 9060 XT at that point. Have 16GB of VRAM. Buying a GPU with <12GB for UE5 slop is positively retarded.
>>
>>109207656
the $400 5060 TI is new, I rounding the price up $20.
It is true that if you have a weak CPU, you are more likely to crank up the graphics settings to ultra, which could cause your VRAM to exceed the 8gb limit and leading to a visually lower quality experience, in some games running with higher quality textures using the same FPS as low quality textures (monster hunter wilds).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0_4aCiORzE
For $420 anon could get a 9060 XT 16gb, or $500 5060 TI 16gb.
A 5070 might work fine on a 500 watt PSU (it depends on the brand quality, and how power hungry the CPU is, or if anon uses HDD's).
Is 16gb worth it? nah. Mohun wilds is a special game that has a very unique preference to 16gb, and I wonder if the 9800x3d skews the benchmark away from reality.
For every other game, you need to crank the settings to ultra, and by the time the game runs out of vram, the fps on the 5060 (and 9060) drops to below 60fps, which I consider unacceptable for a $420+ GPU. Unless you intend on playing in a 30fps cinematic experience, or you want AI, just stick to 8gb, or get a 5070 or a new PSU with a 9070 xt.

>>109208388
The core of the problem is that the settings that causes vram utilization to increase typically causes the FPS to also drop.
And my personal critisim of the 5060 TI and 9060 XT is that it's a 128bit bus, so you get more vram, but you are not getting the same deal as a 16gb gpu with a 256bit bus.

Doesn't matter. Consoles set the memory size requirement. Everything made for PS5 assumes you have about 12GB of VRAM, and PS6 will bump that up to about 16-20. Satisfy hard requirements before marketing bullshit.

why don't you show benchmarks to prove your point, since we have seen this happen 2 generations ago?
Oh wait... selling a GPU with 2x the vram with the exact same core + bus width as a gaming GPU only started with the 4060 TI 16gb... (yes I know that there are datacenter GPU's with more vram, the RTX 6000 Ada is a 3090 with doubled ram, and the 2080 TI is shared with a 48gb Quadro card).
I agree that 12gb of vram is better, on a 5070, because it's a better GPU, but the 16gb variant of the 5060 TI/9060 is in my opinion a confusing GPU, if you have 8gb or 16gb, both cards will run gta 6 at the same FPS.
So, I think people think 16gb is some sort of future proofing, when in reality you need to drop down to 40fps to actually utilize more than 8gb in most games, but the easy fix is to just lower the settings / use AI upscaling.
So if you are willing to drop $70-100 more for an extra 8gb, go ahead, maybe you want to use AI (16gb isn't enough for most cool things...).
But a 5070 or 9070 is only another $100 above, for real FPS gains.
Yep, that's how they get you with the price ladder. But that's only if you care about future proofing, that's why I said buy a $400 5060 TI 8gb, a 5070 is 50% more expensive and 50% faster, so what? you get what you paid for. Why go in the middle for no gains?

spindles are fine. i've never had any issues just using sharpies to write on discs. just make sure the ink is completely dry before storing them (not usually something you need to actually wait for since by the time you're ready to put a new disc in the spindle the last one will have long since dried)

>>
>>109210244
DVDs and CDs are not ideal. Fine for moderate-term (like 1-3 years) as long as you store them properly.
BD-R is actually surprisingly decent. Better than HDDs, but lower data density. Do not use anything except the write-once (-R) version of disks. The others like -RW are far worse for archiving data.
BD-R MDISCs are far superior but are more expensive. Make sure your burner supports BD MDISC burning.

>What company makes discs that aren't total shit and what should I use to store the burned discs?
The only choice is Verbatim. Don't buy random chinkshit for data storage. Just use a hard-case wallet and put it somewhere out of the heat and humidity. You can vacuum seal the discs first in a sandwich bag if you want to maximise life span.

it did. i did it a while ago so i don't have any numbers for you. undervolting leaves more headroom for overclocking at the same power draw.

>undervolting leaves more headroom for overclocking at the same power draw.
Makes sense, looks like I'll have to look into it more otherwise it will cause a brownout
>>
>>109211279
you'll need to set aside some time to test it, which you'll have to for overclocking as well. just keep in mind that the closer you get to the limits for your card, the harder it can be to tell if it's stable or not. that is to say, if it's way too much, it might crash immediately running a stress test like furmark, but if it's really close, furmark might run for a while before crashing. so you end up thinking you found the limit, then a while down the line reducing it just a little since you can't rely on something that close to the line.

overvolting is also a thing, if you want to get the most performance regardless of power usage, but since you have a power-limited card, you will want undervolting to give you that headroom instead.

plex issue:

On and off for months I've been trying to fix my database and I even grabbed the DB SQL cypher/lite version. I did all the basic stuff, I saved a backup and ran a few commands that Gemini gave me and the AI and I went through it and tried to do anything we could and nothing worked.

So basically what happened was is apparently my database is corrupt a little bit enough to where if I add a series I have to keep that series. Some places. I have a bunch of different places like anime, TV shows, Netflix, Disney, regular movies and so on. Including music. I rarely have any problems with music as I keep almost all the music I have.

Under TV shows, way down at the bottom I think where it says 23 seasons was the joys of painting. So I deleted it off my hard drive and then I scanned my library and it's still sees it.

I ran everything the DB programs, I tried even some CMD stuff but nothing worked. Am I fucked /g/? If I ever wanna fix my plex will I have to go nuclear and start from scratch? If so I just don't wanna deal with it then, I have a lot of media. Just not worth the fix right now.

CPU which is technically powerful enough for it spikes to 100 celsius as soon as i launch Skyrim and then BSOD's with the clock watchdog timeout code.

Bit of a sanity check, I've normified over the years but I'm sick of the ai push on android

I bought a pixel with grapheneos a while ago but feel like a tard setting it up like my old phone

Any fellow retards that just run this thing as a normal phone without really considering the whole privacy aspect in mind?

That's what I'm doing. I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7a simply because of security updates and no bloat. Never considered GrapheneOS as some hacker OS or whatever, just Android that comes as-is without junk.
(too bad can't pay with the phone as Gpay doesn't work with GrapheneOS)

I would like to find the squarest fucking laptop possible. No widescreen at all, just a pure square. I would also like for it to be upgradable, ideally able to take 32gb of ram and potentially a new cpu. Is there anything that fits those criteria well outside of thinkpads?

Unfortunately, 3:2 is the least wide you can find on modern laptops now, it's a bit taller than 16:10 but quite a bit wider than 4:3.
>>
>>109228355
thats kinda the point, no? No trans woman wants to be specifically a trans woman, they just want to be women.
Given the way the human body works, best way to do that is use female hormones to offset the masculine hormones your body naturally produces to trick it into reshaping itself as feminine. While thats going on, you can do vocal training to bring your voice closer to the average womans and maybe down the line get some ffs or bottom surgery to make yourself basically indistinguishable from cis women.
iirc there's some genetic research going on involving modifying the dna in testicles to make them produce the same hormones as ovaries, so down the line that might make hrt obsolete, but for now it's likely your best bet.
>>
>>109228738
I'm willing to go back to older laptops if necessary. If it's the kind that only accepts one stick of ram, then it'd be fine for it to cap out at 16 gigs of ram.
Mostly looking because I found 32 gigs of laptop ram in my desk drawers the other day that I had bought by accident a few years ago and forgot to return, so now I want to make the most of them.

Is there a way i can restore the AMD drivers of my laptop or restore to a previous point via hirens boot 15.2?
(no idea if this is possible via hirens boot, the only time i have used this program was to save my files before restore to factory this same laptop like 3 years ago due a virus)

I was having troubles with the AMD drivers of my laptop so i was installing and uninstalling a bunch of AMD drivers and for this i had to use the "cleaner amd driver" tool each time. After do it a few times pic related appeared after the start screen and nothing more appeared, not the windows start menu to put my password, nothing. The whole screen is black, i already tried ctrl + alt + supr but doesn’t works the screen remains black.

And yeah i already tried F8 during the start to see the vanilla windows 8.1 recovery options:

I tried using firefox recently but I notice that if I have Twitter open for a few days without closing my Firefox, it tends to become increasingly unresponsive. However, this is just twitter, not the browser as a whole, usually

I figured I could try just clearing the browsing data, cache, etc for Twitter and that might fix it but If I go to clear browsing data in Firefox, I can clear cookies vs the cache separately, but only for all websites rather then a per site basis. And if I go to manage browsing data, I can clear both the cache and cookies for a specific site, but not just one vs the other

Is there any extension I can use to clear/wipe the specific browsing data I need just from twitter? I don't want to have to close and reopen my whole browser just to get Twitter to be responsive again every few days

Please help this is driving me crazy

That’s because you’ve got good fingerprints on those devices. Use another one, better yet dual boot it and see what happens

Linux user. I'm in desperate need of a storage upgrade, so I'm planning on copying my entire PC data from my 1tb HDD to a 4tb NVMe SSD.

Any recommended cloning software?
Pic semi-related.

>>109231453

>cloning
Which one is it?
>Linux
You don't even need to clone a bootable Linux install, MIGRATE it instead. At the same time you could just possibly switch the filesystem type of your rootfs if you wish.
>storage upgrade
>storage
So. It's not even a bootable drive huh? You can simply copy over the files as usual.
>>
>>109231618
>Which one is it?
Cloning. I wish to clone my entire HDD to SSD.
After reading the difference between cloning and copying, I understand why you needed to ask for clarification. Cloning is exactly what I want to achieve.

It is! I want my cloned ssd to be bootable as well.

is just the name, it deletes everything you want on anything you want, I personally have it set to nuke everything from all sites not on my whitelist.

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/nvme0 bs=16M status=progress or whatever they're called in your system, you can do it live but is better if you do it from another distro with a livecd, you got to expand the partitions afterwards with gparted or something like it.
>>
>>109231453
oh yeah don't forget to nuke the boot sector of the old disk or just take it out of the system because the cloning is perfect and includes unique IDs that should never be duplicated.

Why is my AC making funny smell (ozone-like) when it's idling? [spoiler]don't judge me I don't have a mosquito net installed and I don't want insects in my apt[/spoiler]
Like when it's cooling the air down, there is no smell. As soon as it's cold enough to stop cooling or I set the target temperature higher than the ambient temp, it starts creating this smell (sometime even when it's in fan mode, without cooling). If I set target 1-2 Celsius lower, smell immediately goes away.
Is this some kind of a drawback of invertor ACs?

Is there any point in asking AI for advice on your password security? Obviously, I am not typing my actual password in it, I am just testing possible templates.

It is genuinely trying to gaslight me into thinking that its example
>correct-horse-battery-stable
is more secure than my example of
>Spremekovanej|Borek|nesnist|knedlik

it claims that the English language has a bigger word pool - ok, why would an attacker still not start with it because 99% of dictionary style passwords use English anyway? And then it tries to cope that the words are related because "nesnist" means "to not eat" and "knedlik" means "dumpling" - which is just one relation between the words in the string. Meanwhile
"correct-horse" = instant connection from the idiom "horses for courses"
"horse-battery" = horse power = power = batttery = source of power

Is there anywhere where I can test the "random words from dictionary" type password's strength, in terms of how resistant it is to the supposed "semantic analysis rules based modules" that hackers use?
