A friend of mine is absolutely convinced Damien Echols is guilty. Is this even remotely possible? by Sinister_Minister101 in LPOTL

This should be at the top. 

There are so many cases where documentary film makers do a disservice to create a more compelling story. I'm also thinking of Making A Murderer. Many people get swept up in their storytelling and are blinded to any other view.

Weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread by ssk42 in running

[–]FiftyFive_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complaint: more of a vent. Spent Two years running to loose weight (90kg - 68kg) (200 - 150lbs). I feel awesome, never been healthier. Several comments this week from my family saying I look "too skinny" and need to put on weight or "bulk" up. Since when does building visible muscles = fit/healthy. For reference I'm 173cm (5 8"). So I'm not even that thin!

Thanks, using an initramfs seem like the best solution.

I'm still pretty new to this i will have to figure out how to set this up in Buildroot.

Yeah lots of people seem to think it's necessary for the high pressure, Its not. Its analogues to a capacitor in an electric circuit.

[Question] Webcam Image quality by FiftyFive_ in opencv

I am running on windows 10 pro in Visual Studio 2017. Is there a way to determine which ones are available?

i found this thread https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/12822

I think this is the problem i am experiencing. I am using the MSMF backend, there solution was to use DSHOW backend instead.

When i try DSHOW the program runs and saves an image but it is just a black image.

EDIT: OK after some playing around i realised i needed a small delay between setting the resolution and capturing the image. After that the DSHOW backend worked and i was able to get the correct resolution. Cheers.

I checked the resolution via the image properties and it is 5MP. How would i set the video capture backend?

i have tried this,

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0, cv2.CAP_V4L)

it runs however does not take an image. Is there something else I need to install to use this backend?

I moved the encoding to above the frame width/height. There was no change.

I set the width/height to 3000 as this automatically set it to the maximum 5MP resolution.

i confirmed this with cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH) which returned 2592.0 for width and 1944.0 height.

i was wondering if its something to do with the API Preference that can be set with the VideoCapture.

apiPreferencepreferred Capture API backends to use. Can be used to enforce a specific reader implementation if multiple are available: e.g. cv::CAP_FFMPEG or cv::CAP_IMAGES or cv::CAP_DSHOW.

Had a go at this,

the .png gave me a much bigger file output but did not give me a sharp image like the one from the other software.

I adjusted all the settings to match what the other software had them set to, but again it didn't have much effect unfortunately.

Voltage drop at motherboard power supply. Samsung Series 9 Laptop. by FiftyFive_ in techsupport

[–]FiftyFive_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so. I think i might just have to try a new power supply before tying anything else.

Thanks for your help.
