People online were making fun at my old PC still running an FX 8350. That one was released before all this. Who’s laughing now? I’m only partially kidding lol.

No thanks

This device has been eol for years. It’s a major security risk. Get a supported phone.

Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.

Are they also banning the Viet Cong flag? Cause that’s basically what Hamas and Hezbollah are for their respective countries. Also, equating resistance movements with the Nazis is utterly disgusting.

US propagandists disgust me. Guess what the US regime would have said during the native American genocide if asking about it.

Somaliland is a country completely separate from Somalia. It’s just not internationally recognized. Somalia still claims it but that’s just a formality.

Of course they can. Somalia literally has no authority there.

The 4a is end of life and shouldn’t be used anymore.

Sure, the Nothing phone is a decent phone but it doesn’t really have anything to offer as far as privacy and security are concerned. On the contrary, I wouldn’t trust Nothing since their iMessage fiasco.

Those are plagued with security issues.

For best privacy AND security, Pixel 8 or 8 Pro with GrapheneOS. Nothing else compares. The Pixel 8 series are also the first that support hardware memory tagging, basically making them immune against 70% of all exploits.

Anyone who defends Israel at this point is a genocide denier.

Tolerance for intolerance leads to intolerance. If you call that authoritarian, be my guest.

Make it illegal for politics to be based around religion or ethnicity. Also, I’d make capitalism illegal just like nazism.

Yeah either something else is involved here or Israel is indeed selling Pegasus to literally any government that requests it. Let’s not forget that NSO group is state funded so those deals clearly do have the approval from the Israeli government.

Classic xenophobia.

Keep in mind that the RF values will be completely different if you use other encoders like H.265 or even H.264 with a hardware acceleration encoder. For 1080p, 20-22 is indeed appropriate but lower res like 480p will require a lower RF like 16-18 for the same quality. Meanwhile 4K will be fine with 24. Again, assuming you use the x264 encoder which is not hardware accelerated. For best results, I’d really recommend playing around with the settings and see what works best for you.

Handbrake’s speed depends entirely on your settings. For example, in the video tab next to video encoder you can select codecs like H.264, H.265 or AV1. The newer the codec, the more efficient and space saving your result will be but also the more time it will take. You may or may not also see the same codec twice but with NVENC or some other hardware feature next to it. Those will be significantly faster. If you have a choice between multiple hardware acceleration options, I’d recommend picking Nvidia > Intel > AMD for the best results. If none appear, you could buy a newer graphics card that support those features if budget allows. Other than that, something else that also significant affects how fast Handbrake will be is the preset option in encoder option (also in the video tab). You can select everything from placebo to slow to fast to ultrafast. The slower the higher the quality but also the slower it will be. Faster presets will be faster but will offer lower quality.

Well, if the file sizes are too big you need to reencode them. That’s just how it is, regardless of the software you’re using. If your computer is too slow at that, you may want to use faster settings. For example, you could use a codec that’s hardware accelerated by your GPU.
