WTF... my cat told me, "mah!" ... I asked her what it means and she just kept on saying it... cats are so unreasonable... they can't even communicate like a normal person
once it starts updating, since my phone is full disk encrypted, it's gonna take like 30 - 45 minutes to upgrade... plus, I'll be switching to ART, which will tremendously increase first boot time
GateOne MUST host its own web server (and it also uses websockets), so mod_proxy and mod_proxy_wstunnel take care of its HTTP and WebSockets needs, respectively
also, I find nginx about as hard to configure as a space shuttle that's been dissected and reconstructed by Russians, physically encrypted by passing through the event horizon of a black hole and being radiated out as Hawking radiation over 10E482 years, then eaten by bacteria in 852 separate galaxies
Eh. My bluetooth situation on my phone is BETTER now, but not perfect.
When the screen goes to sleep, it still sometimes (rarely) drops out briefly.... But it appears not to drop out at all with the screen on, and once it's off, it doesn't drop out again.
@Bob how does your Android phone handle bluetooth volume? Previously, mine set the playback device's volume to be the same as Android's volume. Now it sets only Android's volume and lets you set the headset volume separately!
Like I have vol+ / vol- keys on my headphones.... Those seem to control a completely Android-independent volume slider now.
I see they have started overclocking the new haswell refresh, to pretty much the same places the hasbeen already got thing gets to. Could be intel could rename it Haswell Finantial booster and R&D helper
I should get out there and show some glorious 5.2G overclocking on it (even though i dont own it) to get that funding for broadwell going :-)
A little liquid notrogen, turn the onboard cache (ring bus uncore whatever) down to barely operational, disable 3/4 of the cores , run winXP and show some glorious numbers that would not in reality pull more thn 50Gflops. 30,000 people will link to the page like zombie spammers, showing how i accomplished nothing, and really cant even get an OS to boot :-)
They will give me 2 gold stars at the overclocking website for selling another ton of hardware that nobody needs, and a chance to pour water into my computer.
fineartamerica.com/featured/… Either my search was off, or there aren't a lot of pictures of computers in the snow. I could not find a single modern computer.
I guess condencing water in a hard drive , just isnt as much fun as it was :-)
and... I can't really be keeping an eye on resource manager, because, we're talking about, several hours to transfer, since the computer I'm trying to send shit to
@Bob, I did a poor job of explaining. I actually need both a summary of average transfer speed and a verification that the files reached their destination intact
How many of the file transfer methods when doing checksumming or hashing or whatever you want to call it, would want to Read the whole of the copied file back again? seems like to be efficient in a terrible situation like this would be to do the checksum using the other computer entirely, then to have that small file be used to compare?
@JourneymanGeek smarter ones check the file after reading it off the storage it went to. Or to know it before (sum while transfer) and after (uhh after would not assume every packet arrived, or ever sector was written to a disk)
Most of those downloaders and P2P sharing things work both ends hash the file at the source, then hash it again at the destination to see if (at least the net part) file made it. most of the intranet file transfer things will read what it wrote to do a full compare, even if it does so with a hashing routine.
Is it possible to entirely clone an Android phone, so that when you turn on the new one all you need to do is enter the pin code when you turn on the phone, but other than that all logins and passwords to email facebook and all that stuff is cached/cookied already
@JourneymanGeek Danke. He's used various account recently - is there a process for blacklisting links or sending an e-mail to the company to ask them to quit it?
@Erik Personally, I prefer Titanium Backup. Not as complete as Nandroid, but it's more portable: it doesn't require that the destination device be identical.
I do not understand how people see an item there in the computer day after day Print To File , and dont ever wonder "what's this thing do"
Then on the other hand, some crasy nutjob , will have learned a 50 parameter command they have to type letter perfect with linux to even see an item that hangs out in a GUI.
Does this mean if we ever get into space, there will be one Rodney one col. Carter (stargate referance) and 500 blithering idiots opening the airlock to kill us all :-)
Well i don't know this alarm went off and it was really loud and i pushed the red button thinking it would stop and .. . you guys should put some kind of safety mechanism on that.
my AMD CPU supports both...when I got it it was part of a bundle with a CPU, board, and 4GB of DDR2. When I rebuilt the machine I kept the CPU and replaced everything else.
The DDR2 board only supported up to 8GB RAM and 4GB DDR2 modules were stupid expensive
@Bob yea, before the memory controller was put on the cpu. You know haswell put voltage regulation in the cpu now. people with Ivy and sandy bridge computers who overclocked stay happier with thier older cpus, using that as one reason. The voltage regulation has stacked heat on the CPU die , IMO a bit unnessisarily for a desktop.
I cant wait to see intel putting DDR5 and the psu and heck they already got the GPU on it. someday we just plug the intel chip right into the wall :-)
@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Cool stuff! You could actually consider increasing the I-frame distance to something large (10 seconds or more), because if there's a scene cut (slide change) the encoder should anyway insert a new I-frame
@slhck not sure if libvpx-vp9 has support for iframe distance, or whether that's even a tunable parameter in libvpx itself... would have to investigate.
but in any case, it appears that for this specific type of media where you have extremely high contrast and easily compressible, somewhat infrequently-changing video and the audio stream is 100% voice, you can achieve some insane compression ratios with vp9 and opus.
it just took me by surprise that it's really that good
here are the same files, but with 64k aac and slightly more aggressively CRF'ed H264 than the source media: tiyukquellmalz.org/awal/small (those are about a 50% reduction from the source media)
@AwalGarg of course it's ok. pretty sure I linked to this anyway, but here's my ffmpeg command line (this WILL NOT WORK unless you have the very latest versions of libvpx with vp9 enabled, and libopus): tiyukquellmalz.org/awal/orig/encoding_command.txt
pretty sure you could get it built for windows or mac (not sure what OS he's using) but I compressed it on Linux.
but in any case, just downloading "any old random" ffmpeg build is probably not going to work
@AwalGarg that's complicated -- ffmpeg, libvpx and libopus should build and run successfully on Windows/Mac/Linux/BSD, but the decoder ffmpeg uses to decode the H264 and AAC source material is patent-encumbered, which means you could get in trouble for distributing a built binary containing that code.
in other words, the codecs used to encode the result into VP9+Opus+WebM are fully Free as in Freedom, not Patent-Encumbered at all, and 100% legally redistributable; but the codecs used to decode your professor's original MP4 files are probably illegal if you distribute them to other people in a compiled build.
you can distribute the source code, of course, but not a build
I haven't tried those builds myself, and I can't guarantee they'll work, but they appear to have libvpx and libopus with the required versions; though I am unsure if the vpx build supports vp9
