Just messing around with an old dell laptop. Some of the keys seem to randomly double press. It doesnt happen every time. Like sometimes when I press say the 5 key it will do 55 instead of 5 or other times it wont do anything at all. Is that more likely a hardware fault or a software fault?
>>109332466I would try to clean the keyboard first.
cloudflare is dead again?
Is there an easy way to change the CRF partway through encoding a video? Using SVT-AV1 in FFmpeg.Only a few seconds of a long video need (significantly) higher quality, I don't want to waste the extra space encoding the whole thing at that quality.
>>109332475I have sprayed compressed air around all the keys and it didnt seem to make any difference.
>>109332499If the problem happens on specific keys only, I believe the problem is hardware.
>>109332153Got two old laptops at home, but since I have normie tier knowledge with PCs, I don't really know what to do with them. What do you suggest?>Lenovo IdeaPad 330>Dell Inspiron 5480

Do I really need to verify the iso from linux mint website? What are the odds its compromised? I'm too lazy to verify.
>>109332565Ayo! Check this out:The chance of an official ISO from a major Linux distribution (such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, or openSUSE) being compromised is extraordinarily low because releases are cryptographically signed and can be verified with GPG signatures and checksums. The best-known incident was the Linux Mint website hack in 2016, where attackers replaced a download link with a malicious ISO, but users who verified the signature or checksum could detect the tampering. Other security incidents, such as Gentoo's 2018 GitHub compromise, did not result in malicious signed ISOs being distributed. In practice, the far greater risk comes from downloading ISOs from unofficial sources or skipping signature verification, rather than from the official release process itself.

>>109332466Almost guaranteed a hardware fault. Chattering switches is a common issue when they're dirty or worn out.>>109332565Compromises can happen but are extremely rare. Only a few known times in history, and they were caught very fast. I personally don't bother.

why was the previous thread deleted? wtf is wrong with the jannies?>>109332153I was messing with local models the other day and ended up corrupting one NVMe SSD, probably because it got too hot or some shit...now I'm scared af of killing the other SSDs in my laptops. are NVMe SSDs really this sensitive? if so, how the FUCK do I take full advantage of them? do I really need to monitor their activity to prevent corrupting or killing them?

>>109333629Do you use liquid cooling? It seems to be a thing in Q3'2k26.
>>109333644I only have laptops, so no active cooling. One of my laptops has a "heatspreader" that is basically a piece of copper.
>>109333657My experience with laptops is that you cannot stress its components.
>>109333629what did you do to burn the ssd?
>>109333629Local LLMs mainly stress the CPU, GPU, and RAM, not the SSD. Where you using a cheap SSD?
>>109333629>are NVMe SSDs really this sensitive?No. Most likely cause is firmware bug or bad power. Possibly just mystery meat flash throwing pages after getting written for the first time. Heat related errors aren't a thing normally. Everything in modern PCs is temperature regulated.
what's the best way to edit pdfs? i have a bunch of old marketing collateral pdfs and i need to rebrand it to new brand specs, like new colors, fonts, logos, etc. any ideas? should i just make a python script to reskin the pdf or maybe convert the pdf to a format easier to work with like html then rebrand it from there, or something else?

Whats the cheapest solution to easily record movies from streaming services to store on my jellyfin server? Multiple audio tracks would be great, but i assume thats hard to do just with recording.
>OP can't into linking previouseven the generals are brown now I'd honestly rather put up with trannies than niggerjeets
>>109334690You link it then, Einstein.
Bought a cheap ugreen capture card and a hdmi splitter with the intention of capturing a fire stick to my desktop because I was sick of streaming sites limiting to 720p in the browser. It captures video pretty well but the audio crackles a lot. Is this shit just e-waste? Any suggestions for my use case?
>>109334407Find a torrent that has already done the work for you. Realistically you're never going to get the same quality that a dedicated release group does and most of them hoard the techniques they use to do what they do.

I plan on pirating all of Super Sentai. Should I worry about my HDD since seasons are usually around 40 to 50 GB large and there's about 50 of them?
>>109332529Install Gentoo.>>109337246I think you are mixing up SSDs and HDDs. And no, there's nothing to worry even if you were using an SSD. The thing to worry about SSDs is *constant writing* that amounts to terabytes per week or so.
