After a recent data loss, I’m reconsidering various CODECs before re-encoding my re-pirated “loot”. I’m looking to maintain a good balance between quality and file size as my previous files were HUGE. I’ve read about x264, h264, h265 & vp9 for video and it’s between AAC or AC-3 for audio. I’m looking for long-term...
I have an old microsoft wireless ball mouse, i have the dongle but it has ps/2 connectors (i know about ps/2 to usb but i dont want to use it as the dongle is big). Is there way to use a usb wifi card(tp-link) as the reciever and make it work?
I have a little side business of doing minor repairs on phones and tablets and such....
Pretty much the title. We bought a pig, not knowing about boar taint so didn’t inquire about the state of the pig (gender, age) beforehand. First cook and it’s heavily present....
Unmoderated internet is controlling/manipulating people and destroying this society, future....
Actually, let’s be inclusive here. What are some of the best gifts in general you’ve received?
I haven’t really kept up with android stuff for a while, but it looks like a handful of recent FOSS apps are using Shizuku for cool functionality. The new SDMaid uses it, and so do apps like Lemmy Redirect. In the list of apps, there’s also F-Droid, but I don’t really know what that’s for just yet....
First of all, this is not criticising or taking a cheap shot or really political at all. I am fascinated that a lawyer uses/brings a gaming laptop to trial and I can’t help but think it was contrived as another distraction....
We’ve been getting some weird posts lately that… Well, they’re not making me think it’s gotta be an Onion headline, that’s for sure....
Or another container type if there’s a better one?...
I’m thinking mobile but keeping the options open
*Not a major issue - just curious...
The average person dont like linux, and if they buy a linux laptop the reason is because its cheaper than the windows one. So why manufacturers still use unknown distros (like lenovo with endlessos) and not something like ubuntu or mint?
I’ve always had the plans to rent or own a seedbox. A few days ago I finally had a server for myself. It’s got a good connection speed, so I was wondering what I should seed....
Im very paranoid about getting into piracy and im not sure if i should or it or not but there are so many things i want that i cant afford....
Is exynos 2200 that big of a dealbreaker? I’m also open to buying pixel series phones.
All the solutions I’m seeing are some third party service where I would have to upload my videos to them to get them transcribed.
If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?
When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it’s good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don’t trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?
I’d like to hear about people’s most successful approaches or styles (even if unconventional), that helped them to overcome or at least get their various struggles under control....
In gaming mode on the Steam Deck the CPU is presented to the games as having 8 cores instead of 4 cores with 8 threads. This seems to increase performance for some titles....
I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...
