the pi is supported enough for me, just wanted to know if there was some new popular board out there i should be using instead without dealing with a hacked up 4.9 kernel and no power management support. thanks!

i kinda want to buy a new monitor because my 1440p one is too much resolution for my old graphics card to use without screen-tearing.

since 1080p is a non-cutting edge size i am thinking about spending more and getting a really nice 1080 monitor but i have no idea how to monitor shop. what brands/models can i trust?

the last time i saw a monitor advertisement was in a magazine in like 1999

is this for gaming? tbh i'd consider just turning things down a bit in settings and saving the money for buying a gpu when they're reasonably priced again

it is all over the place. I think my graphics card just doesn't have the necessary space to render a whole 1440p screen. I get screen tearing on youtube and poo poo too. I've tried just running it at 1080p but my monitor's interpolation is really bad and it makes everything look like it was drawn in crayon

its a radeon r9 380 and it is 6 years old and wasn't even particularly good at the time of purchase

the performance was perfectly good until my old monitor broke and i switched to the one that work gave me (with more pixels) and now screen tearing happens everywhere and it really irritates me

that is more that enough gpu for rendering a desktop and some h.264 decode. you've got something fucky and bad going on, that thing should only be choking on 3d games

lmao turns out that it might just only be firefox, and the cause was that somehow firefox forgot to not use hw acceleration when available and that seems to have fixed it

it baffles me to this day that "use hw acceleration" had never worked on any machine i've ever had. not sure what that setting was intended for

is there some clever way I can pull the audio channels off a displayport link and route it to spdif? I was hoping my monitor would have an audio-out port but its only 3.5mm stereo. I know I've seen hdmi dongles do it but never displayport

my desktop, amd whatever card with audio out on the display connection. old motherboard had optical out so it was easy, this new one only has analog outputs. I dunno, maybe there is a spdif header tucked away on the motherboard I didn't notice

there might be but in terms of ease of use i'd probably just buy a usb dac that has s/pdif/optical out

there's a 3.5mm optical spdif-out standard so you get a combined spdif/stereo 3.5mm output jack, does it have one of those? i think they're less common these days though

as an alternative, i have a device i use for getting the audio from an hdmi signal; most of that sort of thing runs on hdmi as it's so universal. you'd just need a displayport -> hdmi converter and something like that, they're like $20 or so on amazon it works fine

also there are inexpensive usb sound cards w/ digital outs, like this one that are plug and play and work fine on most anything

ah yeah, the video card has hdmi out. I should be able to pull it off that, thanks!

you're welcome, this is the one i used, i have a couple and they've worked fine. you can also just passthrough the audio w/ them or adjust the output formats to what you want

if you’re going to buy a thing though just buy a usb dac instead of loving with splitting the audio off of an hdmi port. it doesn’t get any easier than that

one thing that's cool w/ the device that extracts the audio is you can listen to the audio w/o the display when normally you might not be able to. i agree though, sometimes you'd want that instead which is why i also mentioned and linked that as well

yes i mentioned buying a usb dac several posts ago

i don't understand how having one would prevent you from listening to audio without the display, though

well, if you used a usb dac or a sound device and had that as the primary audio, the audio would keep going as well. but if you run the audio over hdmi, most computers will mute the audio if they don't detect a display so it's handy for that

one thing that's still somewhat annoying to me is muxing digital and analog audio streams without using a bunch of hardware designed for a recording studio. like if you have one optical, a couple s/pdif, rca and so on. i usually end up just converting everything to rca which is fine, but there was a cool roland 1u digital mixer that's now out of production to bundle different digital / analog sources together. afaik there still isn't other hardware that provides a simple way to do that (without spending a bunch for clunky recording studio stuff)

my late uncle had an lg tracfone model l64lv. we don’t know the passcode, but we’re trying to get access to it to retrieve any files and such.

i’ve never dealt with androids, but i figure there is some way to bypass the passcode. anyone able to help or point me in the right directions?


e: i realize my answer is likely “find someone with a cellbrite” or something similar. i understand this might not be something with a quick and easy solution.
