I touch video streaming code professionally every day and my expert opinion is that it's hosed, jim could be any layer really, there's so many weird things that go wrong with video stream playback switching to linux would probably help

CMYK BLYAT! posted:okay this one has me stumped I would assume sort of gpu or cpu overheating issue. Not to poo poo on your purchase or anything but I've never met a single person who had a Samsung TV that didn't have it break on them. Meanwhile my Pioneer TV from 2006 still works flawlessly. My neighbor had a Samsung refrigerator and Samsung oven both break in under a year. He was sitting in his living room one day and the oven literally loving exploded. The oven wasn't even on, the glass just randomly blew out somehow. Have you tried using a fire stick or something like that instead of the internal Samsung apps so you can rule that out?

Also try a different hdmi cable if you are already using an external device for streaming.

Broken Machine posted:probably you will have to phone them and have them take care of it, but they should carry over the license. maybe they can do that over whatever chat support thing now. if you don't actually have access to the key i'm not sure but probably they would help you. alternately there is someone selling legit keys on sa mart for not much i don't think you even talk to a person when you do phone activation, pretty sure it's all automated. or at least that's what i remember from the one time i had to do it. no big deal

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:I would assume sort of gpu or cpu overheating issue. i think as a tv means as a viewing device, since its a chromebook. regardless, the distortion isn't happening on the captioning, so it doesn't look like a video signal issue anecdotally, i have my old samsung tv in our den running fine and that's push at a decade, but it wasn't a cheapo model so that probably helps. it existed right between smart tv apps and when they still put a million different ports on tvs, which is golden for lazily connecting a pile of old consoles and an apple tv for streaming

I've had a Samsung TV since 2009 and it still works. It would appear forums poster Chumbawumba4ever97 is basing their opinion on incomplete data.

ok. i have a debian server box that i use for random poo poo. it has Cockpit installed which i like. It allowed me to deploy a couple of VMs:  A: I'm not quite sure what the backend behind this is. qemu? B: I would like to set it up so that I can directly VNC into each VM, instead of having to load the Cockpit page and then use the console in that. I know it's possible, but I'm not sure what to tweak. Thank you blessed nerds for any help you can provide. e: i would also like to be able to assign ip's off my actual LAN block (10.0.3.0/24) instead of 192.168.puke.garbage as is default. I think I need to put them on either the br0 or virbr0 network for this? Jonny 290 fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Sep 27, 2021 |

video person can you check the codec of the files that are making GBS threads the bed? netflix has some key combination that will show you all the debugging info for eg if it is x265 and your GPU doesn’t have native support it might be pegging your CPU and heating poo poo up

mushkin has nice fast ram that is also low-profile, available in both 🌈 and non-🌈 i recently picked up this cool, heavy, completely passively cooled jetway. it has one nvme, but it also has a pcie x4, and i think i can use that to add a second nvme to it. just got the cable i'll need for that today in fact

yeah. i had to do the 120mm one for my actual computer and it also has 2-3mm clearance between heatpipe top and the side of that dumb rear end glass side window. kinda funny my plex box has a bigger cooler than my ryzen but whateverrrrrrr. It definitely keeps it nice temps even though (AS I JUST DISCOVERED TODAY) i installed the rear fan backwards years ago so the poor loving thing has been yeeting 100% of its heat out of the PSU. Better now though. Although i am tempted to grab the dremel and hog out this case for 92's or 120s - but people have yelled at me to not molest a clean PC60, and i kinda agree

I'm trying to fix a Compaq "laptop" from 1987 (it has a crt built in and cannot run on batteries). It doesn't turn on but I can tell one of the capacitors was literally burnt, as in was on fire at some point. Anyways here is the replacement  Which side is the positive side? I'm assuming the right side but I just want to be sure. I'm used to there being longer and shorter legs to determine that but this thing's legs are identical in size.

SporkOfTruth posted:look under the "25k" on the right -- there's a + sign there, so the right leg is positive. Yeah I didn't know if that was just telling you lower or upper limits or something. I was pretty sure right is positive but wanted to be sure. I also see a burnt voltage regulator thing  U7 and C13 are what I'm replacing. Here's the voltage regulator I got (in the packaging on the left)  The burnt one says Texas Instruments 8614 but my replacement says Texas Instruments 404XB. However, they both say UA79M12C so I'm hoping that's the important part and they are compatible?

spankmeister posted:should be fine I'm not because I don't see any burn marks on that one. And also apparently you can only buy these things in quantities of 50 so I really didn't want to buy parts I didn't 100% need. spankmeister posted:those tantalum caps have a tendency to fail spectacularly like that btw, you might want to consider replacing all of those yellow droplet looking guys Yeah they're all different specs and I had to pay 7 dollars for this single capacitor so I'm basically at the point where I am only replacing ones that literally have scorch marks on them lol

doublecheck that you do or don't need a mica shim and insulating washer to float the tab above whatever the heatsink voltage is. sometimes its necessary e: also feel free to PM me if you need anything else. I literally bought an entire avionics company on craigslist and own one million capacitors, resistors and voltage regulators. that is not hyperbole

Jonny 290 posted:doublecheck that you do or don't need a mica shim and insulating washer to float the tab above whatever the heatsink voltage is. sometimes its necessary That's extremely kind of you. It's a Compaq Portable II from I believe 1986. It's my friend's dad's first computer and he's very sick and we're trying to get this up and running as a surprise. I just soldered in the new voltage regulator and capacitor and it no longer smokes when turning it on. Another bonus is the caps lock light turns on for a second but then goes back off.  It's definitely something with the power supply. It makes a quick high pitched squeal, then it stops, and then it squeals again, then stops. Over and over and over. The fan never turns on (it's directly connected to the PSU) so my guess is something on the PSU is bad but I can't figure out what. Here's a pic of the PSU  Other than the one capacitor that was burnt to a crisp and the voltage regulator that looked like it might have burned up I can't see anything wrong or any other parts I should be looking at desoldering and soldering in.

 This is the multimeter I own. I take it this cheap piece of crap doesn't have the capabilities of testing capacitors? I am of course assuming bad caps on the power supply is my issue, which I am not even sure of in the first place. spankmeister posted:7 dollars holy moly you got shafted bigtime Yeah I know but there's not many options when you need just one. In fact when I searched for the one I needed on ebay, literally one result came up. $2 plus $5 shipping.

it'll tell you if a cap's failed short but real capacitance testers work by generating an RF signal with a known level and adding an inductor inside the meter, and then seeing where the internal L and external C resonate. LC meters are actually kind of finicky.

Hard to diagnose in circuit anyways. I would check the specs of the power supply, you could maybe find some modules on aliexpress that supply the required rails and replace the whole thing if all else fails.

LC meters are actually kind of finicky.  It's the part I circled in yellow. It makes direct contact with the motherboard so unfortunately I think I am stuck trying to fix this thing.

outlook 365 is driving me crazy. they have these dumb loving autosuggestions which i disabled because they are never what i want to type. even with the auto suggestions disabled, outlook still tries to fill in an extra word or two for me like so: i started typing let me test. as soon as i hit the t in test, it pops up "tell you" after it. i want to disable this behavior. anyone know how? i've already turned off 'show autocomplete suggestions' in the advanced settings of the mail editor options. this is something else in outlook, and i don't know how to disable it. i just tried changing another setting in autocorrect that had an autocomplete option to see if that was it, but alas it was not. in the next email, i started typing 'let me test' again, but didn't even make it to the word test. outlook this time tried to add 'let me know if you' after i finished typing me. this is loving frustrating because i watch what i type as i type things and it fucks up my train of thought.

i have probably bought several monitor cables over the last decade for various desk and laptop setups at work because ordering a 'mac cable' (anything not vga like dvi, hdmi, etc.) was a weeks-long process when i went into the office i used to collect any spares from new setups for wayward coworkers to avoid the ordering bureaucracy
