A few things that might help get those questions answered faster.
Be specific when you are talking about something - "my mp3 player is broken HALP!?"
- What kind of mp3 player, (brand and model)
- What isn't is doing now that it was before (the reason it is "broken")
- What were you doing to it last, right before it broke.. Did you maybe drop it?.. get it a little wet? try to flash the firmware?!

These all help in determining what can be done.
These rules do not just apply to MP3 players.
Just be as specific as possible and don’t leave stuff out, we want to be helpful here, try not to make it a scavenger hunt for clues!
These same rules apply for other situations like “I got a new motherboard and now my computer doesn’t post!”
-old motherboard model
-new motherboard model
-ram (speed)
and any other component you might have in there (most of the other stuff usually won’t matter but list what you know.

I don't think it's a good idea to ask for /halp/ in the sticky, you should create a new thread for your topic.

Also remember to check the date before posting a reply. For example, if a reply has a stamp of 11/03/02 it means it was made on March 2nd, 2011.

So I tried using KGB to compress lots of video files. But compression level is shit (94.something%). Is there any way to fix this, or is there another better program?

I'm aware of that but I'd like to see lossless compression like >>20389 describes.

>>20398
On a mobile device. I've found enabling the Java also results in the occasional forced redirect which is particularly frustrating when everything is lost just before you post.

Um, no, there is no such thing as lossless conversion, unless you're compressing using a lossless codec (which results in obscenely huge files).

When you recompress the video with lower quality and lower resolution, you are losing data. That's why the image will look worse than before.

While you can make a good video look bad, you cannot recompress a bad video to make it look good. "Enhance" is just a TV OS construct, it's not real.

>enabling the Java
Java and Javascript are two very different things.

oh god im so mad at myself
I was on the computer one morning on youtube when suddenly my Dell Inspiron One 2305 fell over on the screen. I quickly shut it off and when I turned it back on, it ran slow as shit and had the hardest time loading up, and wouldn't run any programs.

So later in the day when I got home from work, I let it run a startup repair test. It's been going for about 30 minutes now, though I understand it would take a while.
I looked up at the top of the computer and I notice that the backboard and the screen panel are open, it's the kind of opening where the hooks on the backboard have to hook into slots on the screen. I closed it and when I hear it running, it sounds off.

It'll turn on, it'll run, it'll go to the boot/setup menus, it won't run programs, it won't load quickly.

My question is, how fucked am I? Could something like this be repaired manually?

If you're buying a replacement, buy an external case too, then just turn it off and wait for the HD to arrive. Swap the HDs then copy your data off the old drive in the external case.

The less wear & tear on the drive the better, and if you're just copying your data and not trying to run the OS off the thing at the same time, it should finish quicker.

um yeah no
There were some that came with the computer, I assume those are what I need?
And how would I go about copying from the computer to the External?

Usually the OEM has software installed on the system that prompts you to burn recovery CDs/DVDs since Microsoft has, in its infinite wisdom, prevented from them including media with systems for several years now. Little hard to do that now though if the system isn't booting.

Windows 7 is Windows 7 though, you could grab equivalent media (Home, Pro, etc.) off Digital River or the like and it'll work with the key on your Windows sticker.

is there unwanted metal contacts on the board? (did you leave a loose screw roll around inside the C/D panel)

When you say "took it apart" exactly how much taking apart did you do?

When you remove a computer apart, be sure that there's no METAL parts that are left inside. I had one that was in there and I took it out before I installed some RAM into my computer.

Hello 7chan. I have been an internet casual for most of my life but now I am beginning to get serious about internet privacy and protection.

I have just downloaded TOR browser but the inter webs recommends that I also run some proxies as well. I have never "run a proxy" before and my googlefu was weak "buy this proxy service" or "type your URL here, we'll proxy you up bro" (LOL. Anyway, I was hoping you anons could give me some advice on which proxy services you use, any tips or cautionary tales I need to know, general pointers and so forth.

If you guys are wondering, I am curious about accessing hidden wiki and silk road, but wanted to get my econdom ready. Thanks i advance

How would you MITM HTTPS, other than by having the user add malicious CAs or pay/force a CA to issue you a fake certificate?

I'd go with what he said.

Https is stronger than regular general HTTP.

HTTP is more common than HTTPS.




Torrent not starting Wheels 13/05/20(Mon)07:59 No. 20365 ID: 8c8cfd [Reply]

So I want to download some torrents as some things can only be downloaded. But none of the torrents are starting it says "Connecting to Peers" I tried two different laptops, one of them brand new. I tried utorrent downloader and BitTorrent downloader. It's not starting, both of the laptops used the same wireless network connection. However I did manage to download stuff before using the same connection.
Where to go from here?

Thanks, I randomized my port, but I couldn't figure out the rest.

On a separate note, If I cant get this to work, is there another way to download large files without torrents?

Direct download, lol.

Try port 65535 for your torrent client.... works for me using BT 7.8 and had problems with most ports other than 65535.

You need to make sure it's a decent sized swarm, and the file isn't fucking ancient too anon. If it's 5 years old w/ one seeder, you'll never get it to connect.

This can be especially frustrating when someone is at like 60% of an AWESOME album you used to have, but can't find anywhere, and no seeder with 100% of the original file gets on.

This has happened to me more times than I care to think about. I get all excited...then, BLAM, stuck at 57% for ages.
It's part of the deal.

Big swarms=happy, fast torrents.

I made a few models in Wings3d, imported them into Unity as Obj files, and now there are faces of the room that are invisible unless they are viewed from the back of the model.
I tried inverting (flipping normals) the model and reuploading, but all it did was mirror the problem on the opposite faces.

Any Idea what's going on here, or how to fix it?

Hey guys,

So I successfully setup a database which collects data through a php page, and gets displayed on a table on a separate page. However, the table which displays data does
not have any columns, so the data which gets
displayed is in one long column. I used the
"dynamic table" in dreamweaver to display this,
but i'd like it to be set so for example, after
5 database entries displayed, it gets shifted
to column 2.

How can I achieve this?
Thanks

Hey guys,

So recently I set to create a website, which I thought was pretty simple at first, but ran into a few complicated situations.

Firstly, I needed to create a simple tabled list of names. However, this list of names needs to be wiped every 72 hours. This was annoying and frustrating if i were to keep changing the html code every 72 hours.

So what I instead throught of was to redesign this particular page in php. And what would basically make this easier if the website was just a tabled list to an ordinary viewer, but a person with admin access can login and change or edit the table.

How can I achieve this, and are there any tutorials that you can link me to make this plausible?
Thanks

I'd say the easier thing to do, at least in terms of keeping it running, would be to stick the data you want into a database, have an admin page that lets you add/remove data from the database, then use php to display the results of a query for your table page.

It's far harder to get running out of the gate of course, since you'll need to understand MySQL or Postgres and queries, inserts, deletes, etc.
