wtf is with the OP format? I've been making the images square to keep the text aligned, but the last couple have cut the quoted text and link so they are seperate now. My autism has been triggered, and I will give sauce for OP image to whoever can explain it to me.

I want a portable, 13-14 inch laptop with a preferably not 16:9, excellent screen and good audio for media while having solid enough specs to not shit itself when compiling code inside a VM. No AutoCAD or rendering or anything really intensive like that though, I don't need a "portable" workstation,
I know Dell gets recommended for their crazy gamut and color accuracy but they also feel like fucking garbage to use with ghosting out the ass and response times of over 50ms. Lenovo has their X1 Carbon but there you're paying a massive premium for their business class features and a "HDR" screen that's not even real HDR, only to get stuck with unusable, $300 netbook quality speakers and not even good audio through headphones, and I've heard horror stories about their QC lately.
So what does that leave? Matebook X Pro and a MBP? I actually don't mind macOS or the keyboard, and both would cost around the same here with similar specs even with the memebar (yeah, I know, it's weird), so which one would you consider the better choice? Or are there any laptops in the same niche I may have missed?

And I've used these specific install files for over a decade now, without any sort of internet connection for the most part too. Am I being infected? Or is it a Win7 thing to stop programs from launching after a serious crash until a report is sent to Windows? The hardware is old, only the OS is a year old.
Alexander Sullivan
Doesn't that depend on how many replies the OP post gets? They push the text down a bit.
And I do not care for that sauce at all, thank you.
Michael Richardson
nah. while that can determine it in the future, when it's made it should be a set text format. Might have to copy/pasta it into a text editor to see if there is a rogue in there.
Daniel Sullivan
Would CRT monitors work at maximum resolution with modern laptops using converters?
Well, if you are the person to make the threads you can always just paste it from an offline text file that's perfect.
Wyatt Powell
I'm copying from the last thread, and using square images. Might have been the shota faggot.

I see a lot of people online selling their 1st gen R3's claiming that win7 doesn't run on it and am wondering if this is true
Is there a definite chart somewhere which lists the compatibility of all current Ryzen CPU's with Windows 7?
For example my R5 1600 (1st gen) supports it flawlessly (just had to use ps/2 during installation) but apparently some 1st gen R3's even seem to have trouble with getting it up and running? Heck i don't know i ultimately just want to use win7 on ryzen heh
my home's network is behind a carrier-grade nat run by my isp, therefore there's no way for a device in my home network to accept incoming connections from the internet i've got a vps with a public ip address able to accept incoming connections just fine on that vps, i set up openvpn and got a "profile.ovpn" file i loaded that profile in openvpn client for windows and it works fine - i can use it as a gateway to access the internet and the remote clients can see the public ip address of the vps as the incoming connection's ip address i set up a tcp socket with python on my windows pc at home listening and accepting connections at port 1234 i know it's possible to route traffic in such a way, that whenever someone tries to connect to my vps's public ip address at port 1234, the connection can be forwarded to the pc at my home and in turn into the python interpreter waiting for connection i've done this before and it works, enabling me to host world-reachable services from my home pc
the only issue is that python in this case reports the connecting ip addresses incorrectly i'd like to see the ip of the hosts connecting to the vps, but instead i get the local ip of the vps so whether it's 8.8.8.8 making the connection, or 1.1.1.1, python will always display the same ip address for all accepted connections can it be done so that the actual public ip is forwarded to my home pc?

is there a software for windows that can make a big searchable index of a bunch of external drives? with file sizes, dates, types, folders, etc.
Jayden Price
You can just use tree > filelist.txt in the comand prompt if you just want a text file with it. You can also let it output all the data i think, or you'll need to use dir, i know you can do it with a short command and don't need any software.
Alexander Sanchez
Is there a reason to use a command line web browser like lynx? I use it to scrap from sites, but I was wondering if someone uses it differently. I know you can set up an external image viewer.
Grayson Clark
No, they're pirated files from 2006.

are HGST drives gud? what's this helioseal thing that's only on some of them? do I actually want 7200rpm drives?

Why did Google make webp codec installation so difficult? Are they implying that plebs shouldn't touch it? Or is it just more of the "lol just use the cloud goyim" bullshit?
I know this is going to sound very retarded but how do I learn to program properly? I've read books, I've done lots of stupid projects but only recently I started doing some things a bit more meaningful, however, I can only do these "meaningful" projects following step by step guides. For instance I followed a guide to write a text editor in C and another one to write a shell in C, I understood both but I could never do such a thing by myself. I mean, when writing a complex program, is it "normal" to have no idea how to do something (or everything) and have to look for guides or am I supposed to be able to come up with stuff on my own? How to improve?
Luis James
What is so difficult about it?
Zachary Cooper
I can't into code or open a .lib file. I just wanted an executable file so my offline stock Windows image viewer can read webp files now.
If my college campus doesn't allow piracy or torrenting, can I use a VPN service to torrent things still?
Nicholas Rodriguez
Oh wow, I'm retarded. I thought that can't be the thing because it's so much older than other stuff in that list. But nope, that's it. Thanks. It's still not quite too obvious though. My opinion still stands that they'd prefer us to be cloud-dependant zombies.
However I still can't fiure out how to integrate it into shit like MSPaint or older Photoshop versions, but at least it works now with the image viewer. Every site I go to for "dwebp tutorials" they only say "this command and that command". I can't even begin to understand what the fuck that means and how that's supposed to help a pleb to just update his softwares. That codec didn't cover everything.
Michael Hill

What would be a good intake/exhaust solution for this single loop liquid cooling set up? I was thinking front & side intake and back exhaust but I really have no clue since this is my first time doing anything like this. Is radiator as exhaust okay? And would having a radiator as exhaust within the loop fuck the loop up somehow?
webp is still fairly unknown when it comes to end consumers, so I guess they just didn't bother to make user friendly guides yet. I mean most people know about the existence of bmp, png, jpg and gif and perhaps some of their characteristics (e.g. generational loss, which are lossy/lossless), but that's about it.
Also as a workaround for creating webp images, you can always export a picture as png and then use cwebp to convert it to webp.
Josiah Myers
I'm not sure if my fan is not running because it doesn't have enough voltage. How do i increase the voltage?
My bios settings only allow me to set Normal, Silent, Full Speed, and Manual. But Manual can only set the percentage from 0-100%, and 5 points in 0-100 temperature. something like 30c - 50%, 60c - 60%, 70c - 8%, etc.

>Also as a workaround for creating webp images, you can always export a picture as png and then use cwebp to convert it to webp How? I've installed the codec, then I downloaded the libwebp thing, extracted the files in it with 7zip and when I click on either the cwebp or dwebp files the only thing that happens is a black coding window thingie pops up for a fraction of a second then it disappears. >webp is still fairly unknown when it comes to end consumers Sure but a lot of indie game devs and various other content creators are switching to it slowly and I'd like access to the stuff they make.
Owen Jenkins
spooky
Bentley Bennett
cwebp and dwebp are command line tools. You have to open Window's terminal and either use path\to\cwebp.exe input.png -o output.webp or add them to your PATH. That way you can use it everywhere via cwebp input.png -o output.webp The same goes for dwebp.

Trying to get on to a website that seems to be only reachable from South Korea.
Need to download some fucking drivers from it.
How do i pretend to be korean so I can browse this website? thanks
Henry Ortiz
vpn
Ethan Ortiz
>command line tools Yeah, I've never used anything like that and I suspect most people never did. Then I assume Google really only cares about saving server space for themselves and don't care about the file format getting popular.
But thanks, I'll give it a go.

I have a galaxy S4 and the battery life seems to be going to shit. I just bought a new battery 4 month ago so the battery itself is fine.
I have been using my phone since 2016. Is my phone just too old to run modern apps and shit?
download the one that corresponds to your windows update version
Isaiah Peterson
I bet there are options out there. Plugins for image editing programs, GUIs for cwebp and other image conversion tools that incorporated it (like e.g. ImageMagick) and whatnot. The problem is that I can't tell you anything about those things because I don't use them or don't know how these things are handled on Windows (e.g. I can export images as webp with Kolourmatrix since I installed libwebp, but no idea how to achieve the same for MS Paint).
It's true though that Google has a history of not caring about improvements that don't directly benefit them. Still mad about libvpx.

What is the best way to backup a system? Can I just do cp -a and then use that to restore my system?
Nolan Clark
Not like an executable. I installed it via my distro's package manager, which basically means that it copied cwebp, dwebp, etc. into the default directory for applications and made a shared library available for other programs to use.

i successfully got it installed had to extract the agptekrocker 1.2 firmware .upt file and change the "ver" tag in the version.txt and then repack the file and then i was able to flash the 1.2 rocker firmware and boot rockbox
nothing suspect on there im not sure what id look for, only 3 tasks i can find, and none of them line up with the time the shortlink pops open
Levi Allen
Check task manager for processes you don't recognize. If you're not familiar with windows processes you're going to have to google several names.

I'm looking to install openSUSE Tumbleweed, but I apparently have an Optimus NVIDIA GPU in my laptop meaning if I want to utilize them both efficiently I gotta install Bumblebee (very dated) or suse-prime. On top of that, I will need to utilize dxvk with Vulkan to play the vidya and enough web browser media support to support flash sites. The tricky part is when my architecture is Skylake and apparently installing Bumblebee on it will cause hard locks to X11 and a brtfs snapshot rollback won't fix the issue if installed improperly and the workarounds are kind of wishy-washy to my laptop's configuration: github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/764#issuecomment-234494238
What do to efficiently run Tumbleweed?
