Hello I'm someone who is paranoid about viruses and whatnot. I have Malwarebytes, Bit Defender, ESET Online scanner, Hitman Pro and EmsisoftEmergencyKit all on my laptop. Should I just get rid of all of them but 1? I do scans with all of them every week. I don't really ever download weird shit but I use sus streaming sites to watch tv shows and movies.

>>109282574
Get rid of all of them, windows def.wnder is enough

>>109282600
But im paranoid as I saw articles about windows defender getting hacked or something

>>109282574
what browser do you use

>>109282636
Firefox

>>109282650
set up uBo and get arkenfox or if you're too lazy at least betterfox there's plenty of tools to protect you in firefox itself already if you don't trust the sites you go to try checking out
tbcpl.lol or fmhy.net if you're on windows windows defender is more than enough but if you have to have a second thing installed just flip a coin between malwarebytes and bit defender

How bad is it to downscale to a non native resolution? I know it can look blurry because of pixels bleeding into each others but how visible is it really?
I plan to game on a non gaming laptop but the screen is 2880x1800p which is probably too high for an igpu

how to get rid of this chrome tab load icon that keeps going endlessly on 4chan tabs

I tried ingoc mode and pages started stop loading endlessly, but I couldnt get it to stop by disabling extensions.
I reinstalled chrome and then they started loading endlessly on both ingoc regular mode.
Thanks to troubleshooting I'm now back to solving the horrible captchas that most certainly work really well to stop spam on 4chan.

Just be mindful of what you're doing on your PC. Stop downloading shit from random location and you'll be fine.

>>109282710
Why don't you just try it, do you not have the laptop yet?
> I know it can look blurry because of pixels bleeding into each others but how visible is it really?
It's always fairly visible it's more annoying on high resolution screens the lower you go the worse it usually gets whether or not you'll mind no one can say everyone has different tolerances if you hate the blur too much but you don't mind a smaller screen you could play windowed. In case you have an AMD cpu AMD's control panel should also have the option to show the actual resolution instead of stretching if you want to get the benefits of full screen, not sure about intel but I'd imagine they'd have the option too.

>>109282758
No I don't have it yet, maybe xess will be good enough
>just buy a lower res laptop
they're all overpriced where I live, to the point the one I'm considering is cheaper despite having the better display

>>109283138
>>just buy a lower res laptop
not what I said but you should keep windowed mode as an option in mind you get the lower resolution without the blur but you'll be stuck with a smaller image it's not as bad as it sounds though

How common are http sites these days and how safe are they if you use an adblocker, basic security measures and common sense?

What the fuck is going on with VeraCrypt? There are three different domains/sites for it now (.fr, .jp, .io) so which one is the real one?

>>109283279
>How common are http sites these days
I see them around sometimes still, which is jus bizarre.
>how safe are they if you use an adblocker, basic security measures and common sense?
The website itself might be safe or it might not be and being HTTP doesn't change that, but anyone that wants to see exactly what you're doing on the site will see everything you do or submit on the page.

>>109283279
There's absolutely no reason a site that's just a static HTML page would need to use HTTPS, it's only needed if you're uploading or downloading data from a site because HTTP does not encrypt data so anyone can see what you're sending or receiving

>>109283607
>but anyone that wants to see exactly what you're doing on the site
This can already be done by admins on https sites too right? Does http mean that others besides the admins could get that access too? How compromising could that info be if no personal information is inserted while using the site? Guessing it depends on the site. Would it be easier for malicious users to change layout on http sites to target people or would that only be possible from admins?

>>109283640
Isn't https domains standard regardless what site is it except if owners forgot to renew the certificate or something?
>HTTP does not encrypt data so anyone can see what you're sending or receiving
Wouldn't info like that only exist for admins or are there sections exclusively on http sites of compiled data that anyone can access?

>>109283607
>There are three different domains/sites for it now
when did this happen? i swear it was fine just a few months ago

What does it mean when gigabyte mobo has F12b up on the website
The GIGABYTE Control Center has an update version from couple days ago
Then when you use the control center it has bios update of "f9" available which isnt listed on the website, and the update fails.

Do people actually think about solutions for work related programming at night? Whenever I stop programming for the day I don't want to hear about it until I have to work again. Perks is that I get to work at home and make decent money.

it's over for veracrypt

Why is ffmpeg so popular despite every video nowadays being uploaded as an mp4? Only ancient videos are still in avi format. I don't see why it's considered so popular. If I ever want to convert an mp4 to a webm I just use an online converter. Why would I use ffmpeg which requires installation and typing out commands?

'cuz ffmpeg and various programs that use a fancy gui for it allow for better tuning of parameters for the output video, something particularly important when dealing with 4chan's tiny file size limit.

>>109283993
Probably what happened is GB pushed out a premature BIOS update to their software monitor but it caused some issues so they quickly pulled it so others wouldn't mistakenly update and get problems too and did some revisions which is why versions F10-F12b exist only they forgot to delist the code reference which points to nothing now so the update fails. With few exceptions it's always best to update the latest BIOS ver. anyway.

I just woke up and I'm having a hard time understanding all these posts.

>https domains
You mean "a site that uses HTTPS"? And what do you mean by a standard?
>>109283640
You are always "downloading data", encrypting it makes it impossible for a man in the middle to modify the data and send you viruses.
>>109282710
Scale to something that scales lol
>2880x1800p
One option is half it to 1440x900.

>>109283607
that's still around? i remember some bullshit happened last year that messed up how it works or something

>>109284721
>Why is ffmpeg so popular
ffmpeg is the goat. Is free (and open source if you care). Can do most of the things you wish for (tbf I failed at animated gif to webp lately but who wants that). You can implement its magic in your own projects with libraries libavcodec and libavformat and they are crucial parts of a lot of well known software.
>every video nowadays being uploaded as an mp4? Only ancient videos are still in avi format.
ffmpeg will convert your avi to mp4.
>to convert an mp4 to a webm I just use an online converter
Put an ffmpeg one-liner in a script or create an alias and call it from terminal or file manager with one click/command. Or don't.

>>109284958
>Scale to something that scales lol
either the iGPU lr the game itself must support integer scaling and many of them don't so it'll most likely still end up looking blurry

Are modern projectors physically restricted to a certain resolution grid like LCD/OLED displays or are they closer to CRTs
