Anons, please help me with my monitor woesI want to use multiple displays with my laptop, where I have one cable going from my laptop to a hub, and then one cable from the hub to my main 1440p monitor via Displayport, and one from the hub to my second monitor via HDMI (it's old and has no DP etc input)After a lot of searching, I found a hub that has a removable input cable (most have un-removable 2-3 inch long USB-C input cables, which is too short for my needs) and does 120hz at 4k (which I wanted for future-proofing), but when I try to use it, while the main monitor detects an input and turns on, it says no signal detected, while on the laptop screen, it has different windows constantly freezing and unfreezing, as if a external display was being plugged in and unplugged over and over. And if I unplug the cable, Windows still shows a second display being connectedI've tried to troubleshoot this, but:>The USB C port on the laptop DOES support video, it has Displayport 1.4 support >Both the USB C cable the hub comes with, and my longer cable power the hub, and HDMI from the hub to either monitor works with either cable, so it's not the USB-C cables not transmitting power/video or the hub being totally broken >I've been using a USB C to Displayport cable to the main monitor till now, so my Monitor's DP input isn't broken >I've tried two Displayport 2.1 cables and one Displayport 1.2 cable with the hub and monitor, so it's not a faulty DP cable >I tried making my refresh rate 60hz in Windows settings to see if the hub/cables just can't do a 1440p 165hz despite what's advertised, doesn't fix it >This: reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1ppxm5v/external_monitors_blink_in_an_out_when_on_dock/?sort=top matches my situation almost exactly, right down to it being a lenovo laptop, and many replies suggest EM interference, but unplugging or turning off my wireless speakers, mouse, keyboard etc didn't help >I ordered a 2nd unit of this hub, behaves the sameAny ideas?

Bumping this from last thread:[/g/thread/110039705#p110069852] [/g/thread/110039705#p110070461] [/g/thread/110039705#p110078384]Trying to figure out why leaving my laptop on, especially with a web browser open, leads to a gradual increase in idle CPU temps (just with that web browser, steam, txt docs, a torrent client, an image editor, some images open etc, nothing actually intensive) as time goes on, from resting in the 30s to 40s with random peaks to the 50s intially, to maybe resting in the 50s-60s with peaks in the 70s after a few days, and right now it's resting in the 70s and 80s with peaks into the 90s, even though I haven't actually started up many new programs, and my CPU usage at any given moment is really only 30% to 50%.This sounds like a memory leak to me, except this is CPU temps going up, not memory usage. Could it maybe be my RAM sticks getting hotter and hotter as the days go by and it heating up my mobo and CPU by proxy, maybe? My RAM doesn't have a dedicated temp readout tho, so I can't verify that, but my mobo temps are consistently like 1 degree below the CPU tempsIs there a tool I can use to like, show how much total CPU % processes of the same name (so all the separate web browser processes get grouped together) use over time in a graph, to see if anything gradually rises over a week period the next time I restart my laptop?Or is there a tool I can use to force a given set of processes to stay under a certain total CPU usage %? as I said in that last post I did install process lasso, but it's CPU limiter only allows you to set a % per process, and even after I set one at like .2% per firefox.exe, and it started to limit them to 2 cores each, it didn't seem like it was making a difference and a few hours later it was spitting out errors about being unable to set those cpu affinity limits anymore

Can your PC be too good/capable for the stuff you're trying to run on it?I've been using a Stone Age four core Phenom II with a GTX 750 Ti for years, I got it off a friend. I'm finally in a financial position where I can build a PC from scratch, but the thing is, I'm not really interested in the absolute latest shit, probably just emulators and stuff released up until like 2020 (Halo MCC, XCOM 2, Crash remake, some of the new decomp projects coming out, etc.)DDR4 RAM is cheaper, and AM4 would be good enough for the kind of stuff I wanna play, so I picked out a Ryzen 7 5700X. Then I saw the 5800X3D is only $130 more, and that's supposed to be like the best AM4 option possible, so I went ahead and switched orders. Everybody says it's pretty retarded to intentionally start on AM4 and handicap yourself, though, so I bit the bullet and ordered a 7 9800X3D.Now I'm kind of worried that I'm using more money than necessary, and if I pair it with a 9070 XT or something, shit's all gonna go out of whack when I try to play Unreal Tournament 2004 or the original Star Wars Battlefront or w/e. I wasn't going to pair it with a big jumbotron, I was planning on a 27" 2560 monitor.I know you can intentionally limit frame rates to make old games behave, but is it a lot of effort to fiddle with? Does it hurt the CPU/GPU to make it underperform most of the time? Should I just cancel the 9800X3D and go back to the first choice?

With yt-dlp, If %(channel)s, %(uploader)s etc aren't detecting the video uploader/author to be made part of the filename, is there a way I can "manually" tell yt-dlp that for this website, the author username can be found on X or Y part of the page's html or source or elements or wherever, so it can still add that info to the filename of the downloaded file(s)?Same for, I guess, if for a given site it can't download or detect the video file? DownThemAll and Video Download Helper both can and it seems to just be a simple .mp4 url within the page so I don't know why yt-dlp is having a hard time

So I know fuck all about what laptops are considered good, but need one for my 60 year old mother. Her current one is an old piece of junk with an i3 and 4gb of ram, slows to a crawl and fan kicks into overdrive just having chrome open. She's not computer savvy but not a caveman either. She has only used Windows. Something reliable that will be used daily, general use, heaviest lifting it will have to do is browser gaming and potentially bluestacks so a dedicated GPU isn't needed. Something simple since she is more used to PCs from the 90s/00s where it would just work out of the box without being bombarded by AI and other notifications (but I can always go in and disable that stuff). Plus if it has good cooling (I doubt she'll clean it) and a touch screen. Can I please have some recommendations? Even if it only checks a couple boxes.

How do I rip audio on my PC? For example, I have an audio playing like an audiobook. I want to download that audiobook but because it's only getting streamed (sometimes it's an app on mobile only) and with DRM I can't just download it. Private trackers probably have them but I'm not waiting 5 years to get into them. My solution was to let the audio play and find a way to capture that audio. Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?

This might be a VERY stupid question but I want to ask just to be sure.I got a demo for this game called "Project Exhibitionist" on Steam yesterday I've been looking forward to this game for a while but, i noticed that in the ( in game ) pc when i click on folders, it allows me to see and i think upload actual images from my pc to the game. Is this in any way dangerous? I already avoid playing games with kernel level anti cheat because I value privacy. I'm just worried about it seeing personal art I've drew and it being seen by the developer, or it potentially deleting files?

I love firefox so much, every update makes it better and better. It used to be that in this tab management section, the windows could be expanded and they'd show the most recently accessed tabs in each window with the option to expand and show all the tabs. Now there isn't a show more option so if you expand the section it just shows every tab open in that window.

so my GPU (GTX 980) is basically 10 years old at this point. I've never really taken it out of the case & cleaned it. I tried to play nier automata recently but it struggles to stay above ~45 FPS. Its odd though because it start off stable 60FPS but then it look like the GPU temp rises to 95C and then it throttles gigga. I wonder if this is caused by dust buildup inside of it.Do you think its worth cleaning out? I define worth in this case by whether it will give me at least 15 FPS so i can play the game without nausea

If I want to make a personal website and edit/manage it myself, what's my best option?Every website host seems to want to force AI down my throat and every visual/graphical editor is either horribly crippled or wants me to pay up.

I was given a tiny air filter. Doesn't seem to cover a lot of space. Would it be dangerous to put it on top of my PC? As in like causing any sort of possible static problems?

>About to update GPU drivers Do you guys install the Nvidia app? My homie convinced me to install it like two years ago and it just fucked everything up, even after uninstalling it... but that was also on a Windows 10 install I had done a bunch of weird shit with over the years. I'm on a relatively recent Windows 11 install now.

Looking at purchasing 25 PCs for education.. cybersecurity and IT related courses. 64gig ram (as per their requirement wtf?) 1TB SSD i7 8th gen or higher CPUSo I'm currently looking at an 8400 vs an 8700, but the price difference is about $1300 and money is tight these days. I just play vidya and my last build was in 2020 with a 10600k and a 2070, Im not an IT guy and I don't know what kind of programs and shenanigans their course will be running. Will the difference in performance be justifiable for that 1300$ difference? Considering those are old CPU's and the purchase must be good for 2-5 years. Thanks

What was the name of that x264/hevc motion interpolation software? I think it was called "mad" something. I haven't encoded a video file in years and forgot a lot of names... do you know what I am talking about? it was used in amv making and generally in anime related groups.

How do you deal with being in a group project for CompSci when your group members are complete retards? This guy didn't attend our class for the group project and claimed that we agreed to not come in which we never did and he proceeded to remove me from the discord server we were using and block me in the middle of the night. We still have half of the semester left and the retard hasn't started shit. The worst part is that there another 2 retards who are lazy fucks and don't know shit. Also notifying the lecture doesn't help with shit, they just don't care, they just say to find amother group even though it's already in the middle of the semester.

in light of all this certificate authority & web PKI drama i was wondering, why exactly dont we just make a change to the IP protocol so that your computers connection to the ISP is encrypted as well? this would prevent an attacker with a fake TLS cert from doing anything anyway. Unless he intercepts ISP-to-ISP connections, or he sits directly inside the ISP then he cant use his TLS cert for anything, right?

anyone here got any experience with Bang & Olufsen CRTs? I thought they only made audio stuff but I came across one that's pretty cheap and looks pretty good in the photos. Are they better than Panasonics? I have a sweet spot for Panasonic, pretty much everything I ever owned from them worked great and now I have the option between two CRTs from these brands and now I am betwixt and between

I am planning to get a new windows laptop in few months after my potato around a decade can barely run anymore. I haven't pirated and installed games for years and I was just wondering how Microsoft defender handles pirated games. Is there a risk of malware in pirated games beating Windows Defender on Windows 11 when I allow the game to be bypassed? Are there any additional measure Defender will take to block malware to damage windows after it was allowed via the pirated game?

I've already been to /vg/ in the cyberpunk thread and asked this and I'm absolutely not going to /v/ to ask about this so I'll ask about it here. Anyone who's played games with Pathtracing ever seen webm related happen to them? This has happened with other game with pathtracing and there's some issues with ray tracing too but only in cyberpunkLast time I played this game with Pathtracing it was fine. No problems other than performance ones.>Ryzen 7 5700x3D >Gigabyte RTX 4070 TI SuperCould this be a driver problem, or a dying GPU problem? If it's the later how can I check for that?
