/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Thanks user!

deleted all the files in my /var/cache/packagemanager/pkg.

what they fuck were they and is it matter?

Can probably be done if someone installs Linux alongside it.
Possible even just from booting into a live USB.

Not important

It'll get underclocked to whichever speed your laptop supports.

Nothing you can do about that. Move the icons manually or uncheck the "create icon" box while installing.

If you havent encrypted your hard drives then anyone can pop them into another computer and read your files without even accessing windows.

All code added to kernel is read by Linus himself and he's cool Finnish guy with no connections to NSA. Other models, such as systemd, are not as trustworthy but most of them do not have that much system access.

do any of the "one mouse multiple computers" pieces of software like Synergy actually work decently?

which should i try first?

how much useless stuff is it not cleaning up what folders can i look to clean out of this type of junk?

ya but what about distributed packages do people really go through the src of literal thousands of packages?

Code it yourself. Very easy.

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365261(v=vs.85).aspx

Unneeded bloat though. Just untick the 'create desktop shortcut' option during installation.

They're all temp files so you don't need to worry about deleting them.
In most cases even if you delete them they just start to accumulate back as you use your computer.

He could also just drag any shortcuts created on his desktop into the shortcuts folder. Even easier.

What kind of portfolio will impress recruiter?

how can i hide my torrenting activity when using my uni's internet?

>Other models
derp. Other parts of Linux redistributions.

>Is a 2560x1080 and 2560x1440 monitor both considered 2k?
Who cares? The first one is usually called ultrawide though because it doesnt have the same aspect ratio. This can cause issues in games that do not support less common aspect ratios.

>Is it also true that a monitor really makes a difference in FPS aside from resolution?
Some think high refresh rate is snake oil or barely makes a difference, others think it's essential. I'd say that you can tell the difference in fast-paced fps games but in everywhere else it's not that important at all.

Nope. People do check that they're not doing anything suspicious but it'd be easy to sneak in couple of "bugs" that even experienced programmers will easily miss.

Seedbox or VPN.

According to google that disables refreshing.

>If you havent encrypted your hard drives then anyone can pop them into another computer and read your files without even accessing windows.

Oh fuck. I doubt i can encrypt my onedrive folder though, seems like it would be a hassle

This may sound incredibly stupid but the thread IS /sqt/ soooo....

Is there a way to hack a Facebook account?

If not; is there a way to find out someone's Facebook E-mail address?

is seedr.cc ok? i will only use it casually, for tv shows

>Is there a way to hack a Facebook account?
Anything can be hacked.

>Is there a way to find out someone's Facebook email address?
Ask them for their email.

Does anyone know why the Windows Shell Experience Host is showing up in my bblean?

>If you havent encrypted your hard drives then anyone can pop them into another computer and read your files without even accessing windows.
It doesn't matters, it's Windows 10, everyone can access the user data.

Do you know how?

and without asking someone for their email any other way you can think of mate?

>Switched-mode power supply
>However, unless very carefully designed and using suitable components, switching adapters are more likely to fail than the older type, due in part to complex circuitry and the use of semiconductors.
>Unless designed well, these adapters may be easily damaged by overloads, even transient ones, which can come from lightning, brief mains overvoltage (sometimes caused by an incandescent light on the same power circuit failing), component degradation, etc.
>A very common mode of failure is due to the use of electrolytic capacitors whose equivalent series resistance (ESR) increases with age; switching regulators are very sensitive to high ESR (the older linear circuit also used electrolytic capacitors, but the effect of degradation is much less dramatic).
>Well-designed circuits pay attention to the ESR, ripple current rating, pulse operation, and temperature rating of capacitors.

How can I know the circuit was well-designed, before buying?

Been trying to fix a friends laptop that keeps crashing. I've tried repairing his original Windows install to no avail. Tested the HDD and nothing is wrong, same goes with the RAM. I've now reinstalled Windows completely from scratch and the problem still persists. Any ideas Cred Forums?

remote access their computer with a known exploit or a zero day and put key logger. or set up a hidden camera somewhere they'll type their password then slow the video down to see what they typed. you could try calling who their email is and personating a pajeet into giving you the password.

you could take them in an alley and beat them until they give you the password.

No, I don't know how.
Anyone that does know how to do it also won't post instructions on it. At least not anywhere on the clearweb.

that shit ain't switched

What do you mean by 'keeps crashing'?

I'm already aware. But...
>How can I know the circuit was well-designed, before buying?

Ok niggers, let's just say someone steals my laptop,

how easy is it to get into? I don't mind the about most of the stuff on my harddrive (photos videos), but I'm talking about my signed in to google, and email accounts stuff.

Windows will not respond, you click anything, nothing happens at all

ur right mate I should use the deep web. Any good onion links you might know that would help me with my querie

Is the installation media corrputed?

Which operating system do you use?

Has anyone here ever worked on a PBX system? Do they really answer calls in the order in which they were received? I'm asking because on at least a couple occasions I was on hold for fucking ever and I hung up then called back and got right through. I'm on hold with Social Security right now though and I don't think they're lying, my calls to them are never answered quickly.

10,

Haven't really messed around on deep Web for a few months, so I don't have any links.
desu, your best bet is to do what suggested.
Try getting a keylogger installed on their system and it shouldn't be too difficult to find some passwords.
You could try reverse engineering also.

nope, same image I used to install on another laptop which works perfectly fine

Man, you can't be worried about privacy and use Windows 10 at the same time. Everyone already has access to your things, fuck you.

If you can boot from a dvd/flashdrive, then yes, it's pretty easy.

If a manufacturer has actually gone to the trouble of underclocking, it's probably for a good reason. While you can change it, if you want a higher clock I would look for a better binned card.

>Everyone already has access to your things, fuck you.
What a rude thing to say.

You should phish them but also collect their info about their browser, OS, screen res, ip, etc. That's not hard to do. This info is important because Facebook checks against it to make sure it's really them signing in. You'll need to spoof it. You'll also want to get an IP on the same range as them. Otherwise you could get the password but you'd be fucked when you try to sign in and it makes you verify using security questions and sends emails and possibly texts to the victim informing them that someone is trying to use their account.

>rude thing to say

He must be new here

>He

Read the fucking Privacy Policy. You agreed with it when installing.

has the salt changed?

About to install Ubuntu, wondering if there are any tested ways to get google drive to work with it. Also iTunes, has anyone successfully used it via WINE or PlayOnLinux?

Also, how does GIMP compare to PS to a casual user?

Ok, IT must be new here.

Unless you have a specific program to this end, your chance of accessing the laptop is essentially 0. Also, you can log out of any Google-related account from anywhere.

I'm looking to buy either the gtx 1060 3GB
or the RX 480 4GB
These cards both cost around 230 EUR
Pls help me decide which card
Currently heading towards the nvidia card since it outperforms amd in pretty much all benchmarks...

not criticizing, just curious
Why switch when you know the programs you want work on Windows? I'm not trying to bash Ubuntu, but drive, itunes, and ps just werk on xp-10 out of the box.

Yeah, if the price is the same, go with the 1060

Maybe you should read my post again , I didn't ask if Microsoft has access to my stuff I know about the botnet mem, I asked if the average USER stole my laptop he could get into it easily?
>Also, you can log out of any Google-related account from anywhere.

I hope you can do it by phone too, I'll have to look at that, but what worries me is that someone can get into email or an account by removing the hard drive or running a special program. I've already encrypted stuff that is important to me but I don't know enough about how easy it is to access stuff on windows 10 like my emails and onedrive that I'm already signed into.

bypassing a windows login is child's play, and once you're in, anything that auto-logs in is accessible.
depending on how you have it set, Firefox and chrome save your logins and those are easily output to plaintext. beyond that, it's easy enough to just change your passwords if the laptop is compromised, but his doesn't keep them from the files currently synced.

For niggerproofing bitlocker is more than enough, it encrypts your whole drive using your logon password and can't be accessed through public MS Locksmith.

This too. Change your passwords. Like the other user said unencrypted files are accessible. This can include passwords saved in your browser if you don't have a master password.

How much would that affect my harddrive speeds?

>3gb
>high details/texture
"No"

is thinkpad a meme

>tfw figured it out but now bblean is permanently stuck behind whatever I have open

god damn it

You do know that the 3GB model is worse than 6gb one, right? The memory gimping alone is a big flaw but they've gimped it by lowering the amount of processing cores it has. I'd recommend not buying it at all. Also you should either get 8GB model of 480 or just switching to 470 instead

Nvidia is better in current DX9 games, true, but it's shit for DX12 and Vulkan. So AMD is more futureproof.

Yes. The older models are still pretty good if you're buying them used but they're pretty outdated now. Newer models are absolutely shit, jews are just using the thinkpad name to sell shitty chinkshit with huge profit margins.

Negligible with any modern CPU that's not atom. Encryption there is weak-ass shit only good against thiefs and your wife's son getting access.

No, but ChinkPad is.

Yesterday I was at Home Depot and I was looking at a Samsung refrigerator. It had a touchscreen panel and from general assumption I assumed it would run TIZEN OS.

I went into the settings and ABOUT and I was correct. I found it very interesting and I was wondering if there are any phones supported by the OS? Particularly the Zenfone 2. And is it worth it? I would like to run through their SDK.

Not sure if it helps but samsung gear s (smartwatch/wristphone with its own sim card slot) runs tizen

There are tons of phones that ship with Tizen. Mostly Samsung phones for third world shitholes like India and Pakistan.

so I've just got a seedbox setup with plex, looking for tech shit so far I've got big bang theory(I know) hackers, silicon valley, mr robot - what am I missing?

Is there a way to have CM installed but NOT being root?

>Is there a way to have CM installed but NOT being root?
in order to install CM youneed root and bootloader unlocked. once you install CM you can turnoff root in the settings somewhere.

Señor Robot

It's off by default.

Are SSDs worth it for general usage?

no

Absolutely.

How so?

Even having root off, phone is still rooted, i'm i right?

Yes. Programs written to cache resume instantly instead of waiting for the HDD. General responsiveness is better. Access times are some 100x faster, and constant. Less power consumption generally, less heat, and no noise. Also faster everything pretty much.

It's too expensive for what you get out of it. unless you're downloading gigs of data and moving it around you wont benefit much from it,

Honestly basically all I do is web browse, so I doubt i'll see the benefits.

Yep totally true.

no. why do you ask?

user, root is linux word for administrator account. Absolutely any computer or phone has administrator account. Rooting means giving user a way to have admin permissions.

>root is linux word for administrator account
hes talking about android , android isn't linux.

They have a bigger impact on your general user experience than any other single upgrade. They don't actually make your system more "powerful", but what people really want is responsiveness. And a system running off an ssd just feels vastly more usable.

That's actually the situation that benefits least from an ssd. Sequential file transfer/access can be easily relegated to an HDD. You want the program/system files to run off of the SSD.

Is it safe to enable Testing Core on Arch repo? Probably best to avoid correct?

>android isn't linux

kek. What do you think android is?

Even for something like web browsing it's better?

>run roguekiller
>get bunch of pups and suspicious pathways?
doesnt look like any false positive dlls like i usually get with other malware scans, I dont want to delete those but should i remove these things?

Are Apple products Cred Forums approved?

you're spending 55$ for a 128GB SSD for web browsing to open your browser seconds faster than a haddrive. If you wanna waste money on that go ahead, it's not worth it just for webbrowsing

SSD is better. HDD is fine for just storage like videos etc. your OS should be on SSD with all software.

>implying this changes the fact that root refers to admin capacity
this is a sqt, not a fucking retard thread

If you have enough ram and decent caching systems (that means NOT windows) HDDs can be almost as responsive as SSDs for repetitive tasks.

That is what I said, I know.

Ok

I'm looking for someone with knowledge about Dish Network and their DVR's and such. I just had a Dish tech guy come by and change the room that the signal went to, but I don't get HD signal to the 2nd tv.

I asked and a 2nd HD DVR box cost extra per month, so I was wondering if there was some way I could jew them out of some money and do it myself. Like buy a Hopper or DVR box online and just mess with the splitter upstairs and set it up myself.

Sure. I don't use an HDD in anything I spend real time on anymore. Meaning that for a home media server I never access directly, it doesn't really matter. For anything else it just feels too much like picking up a 5+ year old computer. You'll get the odd guy on here that likes to make noise and brag that they know better than everyone else, but by and far the consensus on Cred Forums is that SSDs are highly recommended, for even for light browsing.

Do you run encryption on the laptop you go out with anons ?

I already have 1TB and 4TB drives in my PC, so if I add an SSD that is even more heat.

If I could get a 1TB SSD than maybe I would remove both drives, but that is to expensive currently.

SSDs are tiny as hell and produce almost no heat. You could ducktape the thing to the side of the case and never know the difference.

What's the world's best phone at the moment?

Price is irrelevant since I have infinite money.

Yea I know they are small. Well I might get an SSD during Black Friday or Cyber Monday or some shit like that.

Just did my first pacman -Syuu,rebooted,nothing exploded.
Why did you guys lie to me?

How do I activate the SSD I have installed on my computer?

plugged it into my computer when I built it over a year or 2 ago and never turned it on.

What exactly is FuchsiaOS? Is it aimed for replacing Linux? What hardware is it aimed at? When are we gonna see a public announcement?

I've got two deals on secondhand laptops currently, and I need some help deciding which, if any, to pick.

One is a 2006 macbook, with 4gb ram, core 2 duo 2.0, 250gb hdd and new battery in it.
The other is a Thinkpad x201, with 4gb ram, 250gb hdd, i5, and the large battery.

Both of these I can get for about 150 euro. I'd just like to use it to mess about with linux, work on documents and browse. some 2d arcade games wuld be nice, but not necessary.

How do I fix the time on my laptop? for some reason the last Win10 update that ended up not installing due to not having enough memory has thrown my time 23 minutes ahead

who is that granny anyway? I always see that thing on packages in my mexican friend's place

it's not real user, get over it.

"Activate" is not a thing. Are you saying you already have windows installed on an HDD and you're just trying to add the ssd, or you have a computer thats stuck at bios?

I'd say the thinkpad, because it's allows for more customization. (It also give's you Cred Forumsentooman points)

I have the OS on an HDD. Just looking to actually use the SSD for literally anything since I spent the money on getting one. Nothing gives me the option to use it.

Sorry, I'm sleepy...

You want to clone your OS onto that badboy with macrium reflect.

I would love to but again, don't know how to actually get my computer to read that it's there.

Hmm, it has a certain kind of charm to it, for sure.

Do you have any idea if the cooling on the x201 is loud? I'm going to be using this at the library and at night a lot, so something a bit silent would be pretty nice.

Look in disk management

I'm having problems setting up a email server at my job. It's a lamp stack running centos7. I just started and if I don't have it up and running soon I think I might get fired. What's the best resource I have for fixing something like this??

Oh shit. There it is.

If I download games to it, would they load faster or run better? or am I imagining things?

why would you ever get a 2006 mac with c2d over a 2011-ish thinkpad (or any laptop from that era) with an i5

>Do you have any idea if the cooling on the x201 is loud?

oh man the x201 is loud as shit it's like a jet engine

actually no like every other thinkpad it's quiet as shit and you'll very likely hear the harddrive before you hear the fan

They would load a little faster, but that's not what you want to do. Make with the cloning.

A used Macbook 2006 might do this: youtube.com/watch?v=TirFHgrY3pI
Video description says that cleaning the fan doesn't fix it.
My guess would be that if you clean the x201 well enough, it's not gonna be very loud.

Make sure to read the FAQ and rules before posting.

I will actually say after having just bought a relatively new x201 is that the trackpad is SHIT, not only is it tiny but it very frequently just stops working, and this is a really new x201

for comparison the trackpad on a 2007 era consumer dell (inspiron 1501) was much nicer to use and I consider even that shit (but have nothing else to compare to)

and just adding onto this again because apparently I can't think of this shit before I hit the post button, I've also tried a t500 trackpad and it's again much nicer to use than the trackpad on the x201

I don't know if it's just because the x201 has such a small trackpad that it's hitting the side/bottom mousewheel/slider bit or if it's just a shit texture interfering with the trackpad but be warned

still, you'd be mad not to go with the x201 although 150 euros is a bit pricey, the one I recently bought was about £80 and while the battery was a bit shit it was almost new condition, the hdd had only 8 months power on time and otherwise had almost no wear (some keys a tiny bit shiny, no wear on the palm rests or any other part of the case)

So on sickrage I've got season 1-7 of adventure time (for when I'm high) and it's set to wanted, how do I make it start downloading?

Shitty trackpad might be a bit of a problem.

Where did you get yours for that price? I'm currently looking on ebay, because my local craigslist variants are full of resellers asking 200+ euro for an X201. So far this was one of the better deals I've seen. There's a lot more Twhatevers than Xwhatevers, but I doubt the T-series will be very handy to drag along with me to school/work every day.

Is there a thumbnailing solution for Win8.1 better than using Media Preview?

Shit keeps failing or the Com surrogate thing crashes after I wait for 1-2 folders of thumbnails to generate

klite codec pack. Smallest package works fine.

Is there a fucking file manager with tabs for windows? Explorer is retardedly inefficient.

I get that models are different from one another. But generally speaking, how hard is it to disassemble a laptop, motherboard and everything, if you've never done it before?

How sensitive are these things typically? I imagine that it's a lot easier to fuck up than messing around with a desktop is.
But I really need to fix my laptop fan.

I recently overclocked my RAM from 1333MHZ to 1600MHZ. Memtest86+ passes with no errors, but when I try testing with Maxxmem, my system freezes and needs to be shut down. Is this likely to be a hardware problem? Could there be an issue with the program or incompatibility with my system?

Clover

Does apple still make the plastic iphones?

It ranges from hard to damn near impossible. Some models actually require special tools to do it. See if you can find the repair manual for your unit, then look over all the steps one at a time.

Is there a decent laptop out there that 650£ can buy?
My boss asked me for one, but for that price I don't think he's going to get anything that runs maximum 30fps on high in LoL and Wow's latest expansion, which is what he games the most.
He also wanted an SSD, but I'll tell him to suck it and go cheaper with an HDD, if I need to.

My router has 3 options of encription for "WPA/WPA2-PSK":
>AES
>TKIP
>TKIP/AES
By default, the last option was enabled. I changed it to the first one, due to it being more secure (TKIP was deprecated on 2009). But now, I'm having a little problem: my GNU/Linux netbook works fine on Wi-Fi, but the Windows notebook can't connect to the Internet. It connects to the local network, but can't connect to the Internet! What to do?

Thank you so much annon

>I didn't ask if Microsoft has access to my stuff I know about the botnet mem, I asked if the average USER stole my laptop he could get into it easily?
If the manufacturer of your OS make it a botnet to profit, how could this company be able to protect you in the case your computer is stolen? It has security flaws everywhere!

So I took an external HDD out of its enclosure and stuck it in my computer. At first I couldn't get it to show up, but it appeared as a 2TB NTFS drive once I did a rescan in Disk Management. At this point I could access the files, but opening some folders would cause explorer to hang for a minute or two.I decided to format the drive as a new NTFS partition, and left it going overnight.

I came back to an error message saying the format did not complete successfully and saw that the drive was now RAW instead of NTFS and was also empty. Further attempts to format did nothing, and when I tried to bring it up in SeaTools it didn't show up there or in Disk Management anymore. Rescanning does nothing, either.

Any help?

When using windows search in win7, I want to filter results to only show files which start with cz.
How would I do that? Right now I'm typing in search:
name:"cz*" type:NOT folder

The problem is, it includes files in which theres characters before the cz. How do I filter it to only show files starting with cz?

Thanks.

Remove all partitions so the entire drive is listed as "free space"

Then create a new NTFS partition. (just do a quick format to save time).

What do?

idfk, try it faggot. Check on tonymac or insanly mac. You asking here shows you aren't in it to learn. Save your time, dont even try it.

I'm definitely not asking here because the available resources have not yielded helpful results. That would be weird

Dont ask, research. I've been hackintoshing since day 1, its 1000x easier nowadays. You're on an intel and a gigabyte. You're making your own roadblocks. just get started and see what you run in to. its a good way to learn how OSX works.

how would i dedicate one or more physical drives to a virtual machine windows 10 is doing some really annoying things and would love to get a VGA passthrough setup but would need alot of space for games might even have a cheap little GPU available so i can dedicate my 780 to being the passthrough

Try filename instead of name. If that doesnt work then youäll have to give up or find a third-party search program.

I've found a guide to installing OS X Mavericks on my laptop. If I set it up properly, will updating to Sierra be easy?

Well. I feel like I definitely have to try. Over half the time the thing is booted, the fan starts making this awful grinding noise while making the whole laptop and table it's standing on vibrate quite powerfully. Until it's rebooted and what feels like luck decides whether or not the fan will spaz out or remain calm.
I have no idea what's up with it really. But I figure I really need to take out / take apart the fan and thoroughly clean it, and perhaps even carefully oil it.

Technically the fan still appears to be spinning, and it still appears to be blowing out air just like before. And the temperatures before and after look the same too. So to be frank I am having a hard time seeing any performance issues. But when the fan starts sounding like a lawnmower while making my laptop and whole desk vibrate I feel like something has to be done.

use clover, might be some changes if you have nvidia, a flag has changed to force web driver. Also maybe rootless needs to be enabled for 10.11+ kext signing crap. Might as well go directly to El crapitan or sierra.

whats the best subs for Uchuu Patrol Luluco?

I can't find a guide for El Capitan or Sierra and it's my first hackintosh. Thanks anyway!

How do i autodelete cookies in seamonkey? i use self destructing cookies in firefox but the addon doesnt work in seamonkey.

While it does show more files that start with cz, it also shows more files that have cz somewhere in the middle, and I have no idea how to filter that. Any other suggestions or help?

dont use meme browsers

Just find a general guide and combine the needed kexts and tweaks for your mobo/laptop.
Get updated fakesmc.kext along with any other needed ones from your guide and work from there. You can try upgrading directly but if you're on UEFI, no point in not using Clover EFI.

It depends on how much airflow you have in your case and the TDP of the chip

but all you have to do is lie the case down on its side..

Different user here,

I'm attending a University with a degree in stuff related to computer security. I have a question relating to keyloggers and the such; what language are they programmed in? I took some comp sci classes in highschool but it was all math and conceptual things, I still can't fathom how to work with I/O devices through programming.

tl;dr I want to make a keylogger. How do I do that and then deploy it?

$150 if you're lucky

not with the RX 470 at that price point

I have an old Gateway laptop that I really like. It's got cool matellic and matte finishes everywhere, incredible build quality, great keyboard.

It's slow as fuck though.

If I try to type with a website open or start a picture slideshow damn thing had a heart attack.

Came with Windows 7, but this applies even on lean Linux distros.

What can be done?

Anyone kniw of a bootloader unlocker for a verizon samsung galaxy note edge, not developer edition? (SM-N915V)
Doesnt seem to be one i can find

I have it listed on 200, there are lot of other 970s at 200-250. Everyone lowballs me lower than 150. Should i wait a bit or go down to 180ish?

Is there any alternative to cmatrix? Shit kills my CPU.

if you want to sell it in a reasonable amount of time, yeah

Last time I sold one was at $200 a few months ago but is right in that it's a $150-ish card nowadays.

Why do people need to destroy hard drives? And by that I mean why after overwriting all the data once on the disk you can still recover deleted data?

There's a reason DOD requires 7 passes before destruction.

You're in good shape overall. Depending on what you plan on doing, you might see some benefit to upgrading to an i7-3770k, but there's no hurry on that. If your just doing 1080p/60 the 480 is a solid choice.

Put in an SSD, reinstall 7 with minimal bloat, or use lubuntu or a WM instead of a DE on linux.

Call the police. And no, not unless you administrate telecoms.

No matter what torrents i add(10k+ seeds/leechers) magnet links only show the hash, and then never start(hours).

When supplying the torrent file, they work properly.

The i5 tdp is only 65 watt. I already have a big R5 standing case with good airflow, i have the space to lie it on it's side, but will using the hdd-s sideways fuck them up somehow?

I still don't really understand some of that article. It says that the only way overwriting won't erase all the data is when there are bad sectors on the drive. So if there are no bad sectors, then overwriting (once) will completely make data unrecoverable? How would you still recover data?

Really...

Also just get something kind of fat, just not massive, all the matters with passive cooling is thermal mass

Wanted to renew my Pass since it's on sale but the email isn't sending to my account. Is there some problem with Cred Forums emails getting rejected by hotmail or something? I got the email from them like 7 months ago but nothing sending now. Does it just take a while?

Is there such a thing as hot swappable graphics cards?

How did user do this? More specifically, I want some Ana and Kagami on my desktop.

I want it to be silent enough that i can sleep next to it. The psu and the case fans are practically silent. The vga fan turns off when the card is not under load, but the stock intel fan produces this this quiet but high pitched noise on minimum wpm that can be really annoying when i'm trying to sleep next to it. I heard that the intel heatsink is supposed to be pretty quiet on minimum settings.

My criteria for the cpu cooling is to be fucking silent when not under load. I get it that a hyper 212 is supposed to be way more quiet that a stock fan when i'm running monte carlo simulations or something, but i'm not at all sure if there is a big difference between defferent cpu fans at minimum wpm.

In general the wiped parts aren't the concern, even in a single pass. What you need to be careful of is places on the drive that aren't reached by the wipe. This is far more of a concern on SSDs than HDDs.

>effective protection

I think you're overestimating what an AV can do for you. Pirating is just about the best way to get malware flying under your radar, and even multiple AVs can't detect undiscovered variants. It's just too easy to hide something in large program files, and you have to ask yourself WHY anybody is going to the trouble to crack these programs in the first place.

Post Speccy, then SMART log (Speccy>Storage>SMART)

One easy way to make it insanely faster is add a SSD(As in multiple times faster than a HDD, somewhat around 5-10, way more talking about a damaged/worn HDD which seems your case).

ALL mechanical devices make noise brah
Why dont you just turn it off at night when you go to sleep?

Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner.
Common sense.

Run scans when you feel there is something wrong going on unless you have a really good computer and can run background programs.

Well, I think it's also a mistake to say that because an AV can't catch everything, it's useless. Obviously you shouldn't have a false sense of security about what your AV can do, but there's no harm in having a safety net to reduce the likely impact in the event you make a mistake.

Thanks.

Ah so I was correct. Aren't you able to find weather a drive contains bad sectors thru SMART to determine if the drive needs to be destroyed or not? Why would people need to physically destroy a drive if it doesn't contain bad sectors when you could just overwrite all the data and reuse or resell the drive safely?

To be more clear, I get "This file is invalid for use as the following: Security Catalog"
How do I fix this?

>no harm

That's a very old argument. In some beginners knife training courses they tell you that a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. Why? Because they're both dangerous and you're more likely to treat the sharp one with respect. I'm all for a safety net, but when someone mentions getting an AV specifically to mitigate the risks of piracy, I think it's important to point out that scanners and heuristics are woefully underequipped to handle that kind of threat, and if even one out of several malware attacks gets through, that's more than enough to fuck your shit up without ever knowing it. If you feel comfortable pirating specifically because of that false sense of security, then really you are likely to end up worse than you would have been without it.

People usually do resell the drives. In instances where corporations or governments have had highly sensitive information on the drives, they will sometimes decide that even a small risk of data recovery isn't worth it.

probably on github. you can scrape with python as long as you've signed up for a dev token and given twitter all your personal info.

Delete the profile of the connection or forget it on the Windows machine then reconnect

if you dont want to root it that's one thing. The rest is just self-defeatism though. Let me tell you that you don't have to see the junk they want to shove in your face.

My brother asked me to take a look at his laptop that got dropped and no longer boots.

- No video out at all, either to it's display or an external display
- No change in how it acts with or without HDD/RAM
- Tried changing CPU/RAM to known functional parts with no change
- I can't see any loose connections or missing components on the board
- Only curious thing I did notice is that his CPU kept getting hotter and hotter despite not running anything

I'm chalking it up to a failed motherboard, but how the fuck did a laptop motherboard fail from being dropped? There weren't even signs of a significant impact to any part of the laptop.
