/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

well, ive got a 64gb 830 series that is just too small for windows and the anniversary update, so i was looking for another cheap samsung ssd to migrate all my shit to. nothing else goes one my ssd but windows

Laptops should live 4 years then be replaced. Price/4 years = yearly investment in having a laptop

>Don't install; go portable.
Can you please explain further?
>Have it cleaned on the inside once a year.
You bad me skim a disassembly video, and it looks like some of those screws in the middle are microscopic...

This will be a huge pain in the ass. Wish I could just open and blow like my desktop. Any recommendations on good uhh... "micro" screwdriver kits while you are here?

Same thing applies to smartphones but on a 2 year cycle... That's why contracts are 2 years in length

I am unable to use system preferences for one user only

I have run disk utility, in safe mode as well as well as used /bin/fsck -fy

All my systems programs are up to date, with nothing left to update in Apple store.

Still the same problem

I have had this issue for a few days and this morning browsers also froze..By running above and creating a new identity the main identity is now back to just system preferences issue.

Any way of troubleshooting?

many thanks,

Andrew

Anyone here familiar with negative paypal balances?
Basically, I got scammed $15 bucks on ebay after I sold an itunes gift card. The buyer claimed he didn't authorize the purchase, which is a complete fucking lie.
He got the money back, got my itunes card, and paypal charges me an additional 20 bucks.
So now I have a negative balance on my paypal account. I don't plan on using paypal ever again. What happens if I leave it alone? There's no fucking way I'm going to pay them. I can't remove my card or address so that's out of the question.

10.11.6 from bad to worse - El Capitan is a mountain of problems

I know El Capitan is a mountain, but I had no idea it was a mountain full of problems.

What was released by Apple as a version for "performance enhancements and bug fixes" has turned into the exact opposite and with each new version the problems just get worse.

10.11.6 was released yesterday and now for the first time EVER this morning when I woke my Macbook from its sleep it had completely frozen and would not allow me to log back in, just had a sticky mouse cursor and the horrid spinning beach ball.

Of course had no choice but to force a shutdown and restart .... had my Macbook for 19 months, never had one freeze of any sort so the proof in the pudding is that a new bug has been introduced in yesterdays 10.11.6 release of El Capitan.

Not only does El Capitan NOT live up to its promises of being faster and better than Mavericks or Yosemite but it is more buggy than any OSX I have used yet. They have done very little in the way of actually improving anything and instead keep sneaking new features in which nobody wants or needs.

I really need to now consider going all the way back to Mavericks because it was fast and snappy as any Apple OS should be but Yosemite slowed things down and El Capitan even more, nobody can honestly sit back and defend El Capitan as being solid and fast without first going back to one of the older OS versions and seeing the difference.

I absolutely will have to stay away from the new Sierra if the last 2 versions of OSX are anything to judge by. Sad that Apple has very much lost its way.

Is it a good idea to learn Ruby/RoR for web developing, or is JS enough? (Assuming I'd be doing everything by myself)

My calendar data disappeared when I installed El Capitan.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

Just installed OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6

When the installation was complete I discovered that my calendar data was gone. I tried to import it but couldn't find the calendar files when I started from the import button. Can anybody help me out of this mess? I lost appointments and information that I haven't recorded anywhere else. Thanks.

Is there a way I can log into a website without a web browser?

The web browser sends data to the site's server when you log in, so I'd think there'd be a way to generate and send the same data directly without the need for a browser.

Is it possible?

This would make it much easier for me to automate things.

Ever since I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite my Yahoo mail account via Mac-Mail has failed to work - cannot send/receive anything.

This saga started a couple of weeks ago when I decided to upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite. Upgrade went smoothly however my Yahoo mail accounts failed to connect. My Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud accounts all work. My Yahoo account works just fine on my iPhone and iPad, and of course via Web (Safari/Firefox). After trolling through the internet on this I found very few clues for Yahoo mail issues directly linked to Yosemite.

I've deleted the accounts and re-added them (several times). There are two ways email accounts can be added - via Internet Accounts from the System Preferences and also from the Mail application itself. From the Mail application you can also verify the detailed settings of each of the mail accounts. I've checked, double-checked and nothing worked. The following are a sample of the errors I've been receiving:

Mail couldn't log in to the Mail server “Unknown”.

Notes couldn't log in to the IMAP server “Unknown”.

Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server “Unknown”.

Unable to verify account name or password.

Mail can't connect to the Yahoo! account - Enterpassword for xxx.

There was a problem setting up the Mail account - Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server

I am constantly prompted to enter my password. I've checked my settings over and over - the detailed mail account settings via Mail--> Preferences. MyYahoo Contacts, Calendars, Message and Reminders all appear to connect just fine by Mail never does.

After all of this I decided to perform a clean install of Yosemite - so I did and . . . no change . . . Yahoo! mail problem persists.

Not sure what else to try. I am wide open to any ideas or suggestions

EL Capitan: Screen flickering uncontrollably and forces me to reboot

I downloaded and installed El Capitan on my Macbook Pro 13-in, Mid 2012 about a week ago. I have always used multiple desktops and a second monitor to keep my apps separated and to help my productivity stay high. A day or two after upgrading to El Capitan, I noticed that the screen would flicker like crazy and I would be forced to shut down. This usually happened while I was utilizing my second monitor. I decided to reinstall the OS X and I stopped using my second monitor. Even after reinstalling and only using multiple desktops, I have the same issue recur over and over again. The Apps I commonly use when the flickering starts are: Firefox, Logos 6 (Bible software), and Scrivener. Sometimes I also have Evernote, Microsoft Word and Excel 2011 open. But the first three are always open due to the fact that I am writing a book. I never had the flickering issue with Yosemite, Mavericks, etc. Just El Capitan. I want to revert back to Yosemite but I did not have Time Machine running (I know, just stupid). So I feel like I'm stuck with El Capitan.

Is there anything I can do to stop the flickering? Or do I need to wait for Apple to send out an update?

Is the windows firewall (w7) retarded by design, or is mine broken? I've tried blocking a website IP in the incoming section, and I can still get to it. I've tried blocking one of my own applications in outgoing section, and it still accesses the internet fine.

Can this shit do ANYTHING?

THERE IS NO MODS

Use the host file.

0.0.0.0 website.com

Is there a way to block a range of ip addresses in the host file?

Since upgrading to Yosemite my Mac mail inbox has been playing up.

All the emails are there and show for a minute or two then the view changes and the inbox appears empty, selecting a different inbox (iCloud account, hotmail, Gmail) and going back to the Exchange inbox will make the message visible again.

I have tried rebuilding, deleting the account and adding it again but all to no avail. New messages are coming in and all the mail is there it is just that they do not show (or more precise only show for a short period).

This is the case both on my mid 2012 MBP and my mid 2013 MBA both running Yosemite version 10.10.

Take your pick. Make sure it's compatable with your carrier's model.

i have a shitty dell, the hdd went bad so i need to buy a new one, and reinstall my copy of windows. I never recieved a disc when i got my dell, and when i input my product key on microsoft website so i can get a usb bootable ready for my new hdd. But im getting an error, it says the product key you entered appears to be for software thats preinstalled. Would i just be able to download any copy of windows 7, and put in that same product key when i need to verify?

Not ANY copy of windows, but as long as you match the version (Home Premium, Professional etc.) you're fine.

I'd take the opportunity to upgrade to an SSD, btw.

if my computer only has 4 gigabites of ram then how the hell did i just download counter strike which is 10 gigabites you dimbass ???

i have one also, i just need to buy a mounting kit for it, its super small, only 250 gigs. thank you friend.

830 was known for have problems, 840 was the good one.
Still its a good deal.

Just ask the guy to show you a screenshot of SSDLife pro.

Because you are supposed to give maintenance between those years.

Replace HDD for SSD, repaste it and probably change the HSF.
And more importantly, clean it, fan and dust increase temperature a lot.
if it is HP just trash it.

Very stupid question incoming. Is there a Linux distro that is designed specifically for programming? Obviously *nix systems are generally better suited for programming, but I was wondering if there are differences between distributions that matter to programmers.

You guys know where I can get free php/html templates? Everything I've come across costs $50.

I don't know exactly what you mean by templates, but have you tried looking at the stock pages hosting sites like weebly give you?

i have an old as fuck dell, 8 beeps on start up (lcd failure).

got a vga plugged into an external monitor trying to use that instead of the laptop screen, but still beeping

i know im just doing something dumb but i cant figure out what

im looking online, and i dont know if its just a huge inside joke, but do i NEED a mounting kit for a SSD? can i just screw it in anywhere/leave it sitting in my computer loose? or at least tape it/velcro

i have a laptop that has windows 7 on it currently. prior to that it fell victim of the windows 10 boot loop, so i put in a new hard drive. now, i cant connect wirelessly. the ssid, password and security are all correctly entered. currently not broadcasting the signal. halp g pls

There might be a key you can press that will toggle the display from the laptop screen to the external monitor. Plugging the monitor in doesn't always make a laptop start using it. If you can't find anything like that by looking at your keyboard or in a manual, try finding a hotkey for switching displays. On windows I think it's windows+p, but I'm not sure. You'd have to log in blindly before you do that.

I have a school project and i wanted to look at a complete website's code to base mine off of. I'm looking at weebly and it is just drag and drop, I wanted actual code.

Once I've created a repository on GitHub, how do I add a folder to it using the GUI/website?

ill find a manual online, but no way i can log in blindly

Yeah, weebly should have an option that lets you view their HTML and CSS.

You know you can right click on *any* webpage and look at its source code, right?

Open the shell
cd to your directory
git remote add origin
git add
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push

here's another thing, it doesnt sounds like the laptop is fully turning on. no boot sounds, but also doesnt sound like the hard drive or fan kicks in.

I actually found this one
lgg3root.com/t-mobile-g3-roms/how-to-convert-your-lg-g3-into-lg-g5-with-marshmallow-fulmics-rom/
i haven't checked many others desu but this sounds pretty hard to beat
anyway what i was wondering tho is as someone on stock rom, are there any downsides to going custom rom?
most roms would require me to upgrade OS as well because I'm still on kitkat
so i'm worried about things like incompatible xposed modules, and possible other root features

In that case there's probably more wrong with it than the display. Troubleshoot and/or get tech support

>You know you can right click on *any* webpage and look at its source code, right?

Just the html that gets generated, thats not necessarily what is in the actual files.

do i need to secure my ssd to something in my case? or can i just be ghetto and let it hang or sit there

Be gangsta

thanks nigga

My university recently started blocking Cred Forums.org. I can still access the site by using boards.Cred Forums.org/(board) but I can't post.

Is a VPN my only/best option to get around that, and if so, what are some free VPNs that aren't horrible?

Secure it

Too old, they won't help. Any decent sites I could go to?

>free vpn
1. It is 99% blocked from posting
2. There is no reason to use a "free" vpn You're just adding another layer of spying

Buy a $5/m vps and setup openvpn on it

nevermind, spamming wind+p did it switched from the screen to the monitor.

dell was a bunch of faggot, lost my business forever

best buy actually helped me out, i "claimed" got it there a few years back and got a new phone number. they helped me for a while to figure out a semi-fix to the problem. def gonna buy from them more often (if the price are comparable), thats good ass customer service

is there any way to see someones instagram pics if theyre locked
I want to fap so bad

Bumping

Actually a lot of people do that. There are velco mounting kits, or you can use regular sticky velcro on the side of your case. There's a solid case for ducktape and rubberbands. With no moving parts SSDs are pretty agnostic about what's holding them in place.

See if there's a hardware switch or button on the laptop that toggles wifi on and off and use it. Then I would download a new copy of the drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. If you've never had windows 7 on that laptop before, it's possible there aren't any working drivers for it.

Don't use free VPNs. Their whole purpose is to mine the fuck out of your data. And if you don't think that matters, you'd be supprised. You'd probably need to buy a Cred Forums pass, even with a paid vpn. Alternatively you could just set up a VPN connection to your parents/friends house and use that without any trouble.

Need an external hard drive. Thinking about just getting a normal 1T hard drive and using that.
Maybe put it in a makeshift case.

Dumb idea? Should I just get a real external?

>Stupid Questions Thread
I accidentally swallowed an icecube 4 days ago and it still didn't come out. Is it stuck inside me? Please help.

Every rom is different, which is part of why I like to use XDA (where you can usually search a good 500 page thread for questions about a given rom), but xposed etc are compatable with many roms. A newer version of android is only a problem if you don't like some of the changes android has made, most of which are paletable, especially in a more tweakable environment. Some roms on some devices have specific feature failures like spotty wifi or bluetooth, so you'd want to check that. But usually you can go back with almost no consequences aside from those of unlocking the bootloader. Be aware that android pay and a few 3rd party services may be permanently disabled on that phone. As far as having root goes, you are a little more at risk than if you didn't, because now you have to be careful about which apps you give root priveleges to, but it's a lot like the kind of risk that comes from having administrative access on windows. If you're careful about what you install and who you give unsupervised physical access to, you should be fine.

theres harddrive encasements you can buy for cheap if you want to go that route, or just buy a real external

How do I enable sleep mode on android x86?

Everything seems to be working flawlessly on my tablet, but when I press the power button the device doesn't sleep, it just brings up the power menu.

Met with this screen after the reboot, what's wrong?

I put an SSD in my laptop earlier this year and it went bad, but I got sent a new replacement. The laptop came with a hard drive with windows 8 on it, I had windows 10 on the SSD, but the only serial I have today is the windows 8 key from my laptop (I retrieved it from the registry). Since this is the same machine, can I install windows 8.1 on the SSD and re-use the serial?

I see from le rebbit that I can: reddit.com/r/windows/comments/46ody7/are_windows_licenses_tied_to_the_harddrive_or_the/d06t9el

But my question goes one step further. For backup purposes I want to keep the hard drive the laptop came with and all the contents on it; if for whatever reason I need to put it back into my laptop (which i'm doing now until I put the SSD in) will it freak out over the serial?

The variables are that it's the same machine, same key, but two different drives.

The PHP Zend2 framework has a starter app that will do the job.

This is pretty standard behavior for any OS; the taskbar is how running programs are mannaged by the user. Many programs have an option in their setting to have them minimize or hide in some way if you want them to keep running. You'll need to configure them individually.

sorry if im using the wrong term, by software version i mean im on kitkat and most roms im looking at are on marshmallow
if you can switch between these willynilly then I guess I am good to go

Ocasionally a newer version of stock will make it difficult or impossible to go back to an older version of stock, but that's usually an issue with not having unlocking the bootloader first, and at the very least you should always be able to go back to the most recent version of stock released for your phone. As far as custom roms go the version of android shouldn't matter at all.

No. Either you took the windows 10 free upgrade offer, or you have 2 entirely unrelated licenses. Either way you're fine. In the first case you're not technically allowed to have them both "installed" at the same time, but it almost never causes a problem even when they're installed as a dualboot.

Every time I use the scroll wheel on my mouse something on my case does coil whine,

>Every time I use the scroll wheel on my mouse something on my case does coil whine,

I had this too and it turned out to be the monitor instead.

Found it it wouldn't whine if i wasn't actually scrolling something on the screen.

it's more the hard drive will return to being a backup if the SSD goes bad again

I liked windows 10, but some of my software will not run on it correctly.

I though it would be the monitor, or the speakers, but unplugged both of those and scrolled, still whine

My aunt gave her old Samsung Galaxy Neo Plus to me, because it "doesn't work".

It fell on her toilet a while ago, and while it's capable of turning itself on for a couple seconds, it shuts off after that and I cannot bring it to respond. Same happens when I plug it into a charger.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong on it's circuits, and the battery's brand new. Also, if I access recovery mode (vol- key, home key and lock key pressed together) it works as if there were nothing wrong with it, and stays on without trouble.

Any ideas as to how can I bring it back to life?

Anyone here know anything about starting jobs at tech companies. I generally don't have much time to study for "Cracking the Code Interview" and I really feel like the process is a sham and doesn't prove you are a good coder but can just memorize how to solve interview problems. Is working for a tech centric company like Microsoft, Amazon overrated? Any advice for someone that's trying to find a job and graduating soon.

I meant BSD!

pretty much. google it, or have like 4 or 5 programs on a flash drive for cleaning/checking. someone post that guy that just updated adobe flash or w/e for months as an IT guy

trying to wipe a friends laptop, but its a fucking horrible $300 piece of shit. lenovo s21e, no usb boot option in bois (there isnt even a bios menu, its only one option and thats to boot windows), no disk tray, and cant login. it gives the "your pc is offline" and some other error when i try the pass. she swears its that pass as she uses it for everything. is there anything i can do here besides taking the hd out and hooking it to my pc? i really dont want to have to open this fucker

i clearly say i did run it as admin

no go

Why do I get I/O errors when torrenting to an external hard disk on my desktop, but not on my laptop? Both run Debian.

How are you mounting it on each? Through fstab, through gvfs/FUSE/etc?

How do I compile the Linux kernel with debugging symbols and NO OPTIMIZATIONS? Everywhere I read says it's impossible because it uses inline functions and expects to at least have -O2 optimization, or else the compilation fails. I need to be able to single step debug the kernel.

If you're using "make menuconfig", doesn't it already have options for debugging symbols?

On my laptop, it shows up in my file manager and I click to mount, same on my desktop. Laptop has XFCE, desktop has KDE. Both torrent clients are qBittorrent. On my desktop, the disk unmounts itself when I get these errors. It's been stable once I limited the download speed to 5.8MiB/s, but I didn't have to do that on my laptop.

I also need to turn off all optimizations, which is the part I'm stumped on.

I just helped my brother build his first PC the other day, he got an H55 for his cooler which I thought was a little disappointing considering how much he splurged on everything else.

Would it be practical to give him my H100 from 2013 when I upgrade this year? I don't know if he would honestly see much benefit even though I do like dual rads, and I'm not sure if it has some life left in it.

tldr; how likely is an AIO water pump to fail after five or so years

I could be wrong but I think KDE does some weird shit with mounting, but it's been a long time, and I'm not very familiar with KDE's internals.

Solely for debugging?

It varies wildly. Workstation graphics cards can put up a good fight sometimes, but as a general rule they're nowhere near as capable as they're equivilantly priced gaming cards. They're optimized for high quality over high fps, and they don't have drivers talored to specific games. But you can sometimes get decent results.

tomshardware.com/reviews/workstation-graphics-card-gaming,3425.html

Yea I'm taking an OS course and we're required to single step debug the linux kernel but the professor is making out how to do it as some big secret and the whole class is stumped with nobody able so far because inline functions don't compile with optimization level -O0. I realize you could still debug with kgdb with it compiled with -O2 optimization but we're specifically required to turn off all optimizations.

Well I guess that means it has to be possible then. That or your prof is an idiot.

Can anyone tell me what font this is or how I can find out? It's an EPUB file.

I've actually read through all of those today in trying to figure this out. I've even found old emails of Linus Torvalds back in 2003 when he was arguing in support of the use of inline functions because "99% of bug-reports are made by non-developers" and that it's not practical to support single stepping the kernel with -O0. The best option I can find so far is to use Linux 2.4, which is from 2001 back before they started using any inline functions, but I'm not sure we're supposed to be using such an old distribution for this course. Then again, the professor is really old and hasn't taught this course in a long time, so maybe the last time he required his class to do this was before 2001, back when it was still possible, that is, unless there is still some method that I can't seem to find.

I was just thinking that, you'll probably have to use

good morning Cred Forumsentles,

can anyone help me with a great folder structure for my website? I don't know how I can handle the pathes in every html for the next html and for going back to the last one?
At the moment I create for every theme like "networking" a folder with all content (html-sites like: routing, switching, etc). If I want to go to the last html I use "../" that in the start of the path, but when I have more and more folders after folders, I have to do like "../../../". This is fukcing ugly, anyone knows a better and greater way to handle this?

Either the drivers have issues with that certain game or you have a faulty graphics card that only has issues with certain functions that most games don't use.

Is it possible to set up windows in a way that i can boot into the same installation both directly, and from a virtual machine?

I imagine it doesn't tolerate too much hardware change.

Had the gpu little over a year, and these same drivers didn't have issues before the Win10 Anniversary shit update. Do you think it could be that?

Could be. You could try to search if others are having same issues. Removing the drivers completely and installing them again might help too.

Have you tried setting the graphics options to the bare minimum?

I did use DDU and reinstalled them, as well as doing the same with other drivers. Did nothing.

I've tried all settings. It doesn't matter what they're set to, as well as gmod being a cpu-intensive game rather than gpu-intensive.

It makes no sense to me that the drivers are crashing while playing it. They also don't recover so I have to hard reset my pc every time it happens.

Have you had any trouble with other Source games? Especially ones that use a newer version?

Doesn't seem like it. I've only played Left 4 Dead 2 and some CS:S as far as other source games, but both of them seem to be just fine and don't crash it at all.

Games on other engines are perfectly fine as well. It seems to be JUST Garry's Mod. I also don't have a lot of addons, and it happens no matter the server/singleplayer. Reinstalling the game did nothing either.

I'd make an account on FacePunch forums and ask there then. I have a Nvidia GTX 770 and it runs with no trouble.

What's the best rugged USB 3.0 external hard drive enclosure or full-on external drive on the market? I'm currently using a Hitachi drive from my old laptop in an aluminum enclosure and it's been making some scary noises during this 55GB+ transfer I'm doing right now, like stomach grumbling.

Should I learn coding? I just want to be more computer literate and do other stuff good too.

No, they're fine. They tecnically have the worst network in america, but even the worst out of 4 2016 is pretty good in 2016, especially if you spend most of your time in large urban areas.

You can definietly convert back and forth. The windows install contained in the image needs to be reinitialized to pick up new drivers whenever it's going to be switched to the bare-metal sytem or the virtual machine's generic hardware. This is not something that just happens on the fly every time you boot up. But if you installed a WinToGo copy of windows in a VHD image, you could probably boot it up interchangably in Hyper-V and nativeboot. I haven't tried it, but it would make sense. I'm not sure how much being a WinToGo install would affect performance, but being on an internal drive I would expect it to fare pretty well.

Yeah. If they can't help I plan on reinstalling windows entirely. Thank you.

That seems like a bit of a hassle just for one game.

And even then, there's no guarantee that will fix it.

Can someone help illuminate what the following terms mean in regard to computer memory. Help me understand what they mean and how are they different. I use an Android OS, and Mac OS X, and I'm trying to get my head around how memory works.

>Physical, Virtual, Swap, Cache, Wired, Compressed, Buffered

Maybe so, but it's the only game I actually play a lot, it'd be worth it to me.

If it's really worth it, I'd still try everything up to that point. Post in the game discussion forums in Steam as well, maybe someone can help you there.

Which archive compression format should I use?
What are the differences between them?
>zip, rar, 7z?

So, I'm in search of a decent laptop/ultrabook that's under $600. It should have 4GB or RAM ssd or other but capacity isn't a deal breaker and a cpu from the past 3 generations, preferably and i5. Oh, and 1920 x 1080 display is good. Thanks in advance

What are you using it for?

Does windows 7 download tool from microshit page allow me to format my drive before installing the os?

Stop win 10 from auto login at startup

Does any one have a solution. I only play the sims and if my luck goes right tomorrow, I'll just get it all on Steam. I fucking hate origin. Can any one lend me a hand?

Physical is the actual sticks like picrelated, virtual is when you reserve a chunk of slower nonvolatile storage like HDD SDD or flashdrive so you can store the less imminently critical contents of memory there when you run out of real ram. The swap file is what you call that chunk of displaced memory. Cache is super tiny, super fast, comparatively super expensive dedicated memory attached to specific things like drives and CPUs to use for time critical things that normal memory would be too slow or far away for.

Wired memory refers certain OS contents (files etc) that are too important and time sensitive to ever be moved to a swap file or interrupted. Memory compression is another software side thing and is about compacting the contents of memory so they need less space and/or minimizing the use of the swap file. Buffered memory is a type of physical ram usually only used in servers as it has an added component which makes it work better in systems using very large amounts of memory, which makes it more expensive than normal ram. Practically speaking you really shouldn't have to remember anything after cache.

7z is usually the most efficient, but zip is more widely accepted and extractable by default in pretty much all operating systems. Rar is mostly used when you need to break a file up for convienient uploading/downloading.

You can format the drive as part of the installation.

by the way do you recommend formatting the entire thing or just the C: partition

>run executable
>it works
>turn off PC
>turn on PC
>run executable
>it does nothing
This happens way too much. I've only had this problem using gcc and g++.

If you've intentionally put something important on another partition you don't have to get rid of it, but if you're just talking about recovery/sytem reserved type stuff, yeah I'd wipe it out and start fresh.

I googled up on win to go a bit, and if i understand correctly it's a feature of w8 and 10 that makes it load more than the necessary number of drivers, so it can run from a usb drive when you plug in multiple pc-s.

What i'm not sure about is can i just turn this thing on if i install windows on my ssd normally, or do i need to install windows in a temporary virtual machine first, and than do a win to go install of windows to my ssd from there?

I want to install Windows 10 and how should I do it?
If I install windows 10 to usb from microsoft, I will have 30 days to activate it right? Is there something removeWAT equivalent? Or is there a better way to activate it?

And btw how windows 10 handles no license key like in windows 7? same?

WinToGo makes windows hold on to drivers when they're not in use, and keep them in seperate profiles for each sytem it has booted on, so that on subsequent boots it doesn't need to reinstall anything, it just loads the right profile.

What you asked is if you could use an install interchangably between a virtual machine and native boot. You didn't say anything about installing directly to a parition on the SSD. With this method your install would never leave it's VHD image file.

You didn't say anything about wanting touch/flip screen. That one is more mobile, but it drops the IPS screenm which is a big plus to have. It also has a noticeably smaller screen. Otherwise they're the same. I'd go with the HP, but It's always been my style to get bigger laptops and leave portabillity more to phones and tablets.

Oh shit, thanks!

The probem with calibration is that you really can't do very much without a calibrator. There are plenty of utilities to walk you through it, you probably already have a few installed already, considering windows, your GPU and your monitor. But they're all comparitively useless without a calibrator. If you can borrow one of those from a university or something it's easy.

IPS just looks a lot nicer than normal screens. The color is much better, and as a side benifit you can look at the screen from almost any angle without it looking washed out. They're just one of those things that's really hard to live without once you've gotten used to it. There's no reason a high end TN pannel couldn't have good color, but the majority of IPSs look much better than the vast majority of TNs.

sweet, thanks for the info user

I'm going through my drives and folders and copying and backing up everything I think is necessary, but I can't help but have this feeling that I'm going to lose something important once I wipe the drive. Any tips? Like are there any important program files that I might have forgotten about?

Game save files, content's of torrent clients, browser history/bookmarks. Make sure you've got your new drivers lined up, go through your installed programs and think if any of them would have anything important in them.

If you want you can back up the whole drive in a restorable macrium system image. You can use windirstat to hunt for large files that have already been backed up so you can remove them (do the same for large programs), so the image is as small as possible.

Is it worth the trouble to set up liquid cooling for my rig purely for the sake of my gpu temps, or should I just go balls out and make a submerged system if I'm going to bother with it at all?

How about buying one with a decent cooler and not bother with memes?

Mine does have a decent cooler. I play current releases on a 660ti and never get above 75C.

I'm finally in the market for an upgrade, and seeing people never break 50C on ultra settings is really enticing.

Put a password on the account

How many hundreds of dollars more enticing?

Anyone who has T-Mobile know if any towers are down or something? My LTE service wad working fine yesterday then suddenly around 1am it just stopped working and found it odd and I already paid the bill.

Anyone know why its acting this way?

I can stand to go a couple hundred beyond the gpu price to put together some tubing, but I could also wait and budget for a submerged system. I don't personally know anyone who uses one though, so the benefits are pretty speculative at this point.

Just switched from kubuntu to ubuntu gnome 16.04 and now my wifi isn't working anymore (again). I think this time the wifi card might not be detected but I'm not too sure.

Reset your phone. Then call them up (on another line). There might be a service outage or something.

Virtually any other upgrade you put money into will yield more results. The only real point to that kind of upgrade is dicksizing. If you can admit that to yourself, you can begin to think realistically how much it's worth to you.

Custom loop is like a 8/10 on the meme meter
Submerged is around 20/10

For a full custom loop setup you're looking at 50 for a pump, 20 for a reservoir, 50-100 for a radiator, 50-100 for a waterblock, and another 50 at least for fittings.

What other upgrades exist for system cooling beyond using good fans and airflow? It feels impossible to get gpu temps to stay below 65C under load without going for liquid cooling.

Why are you obsessed with getting it cooler? Running at 70C isn't going to hurt it.

I've been slowly whittling down the temps and I hit a wall with fan cooling. I supposed it's just a desire to keep improving aspects of my rig.

So you can jack off to a lower number? You might as well delete everything from your hard drive so you can see it say 1000 GB free instead of 500 GB free.

Ok, as long as you realize you've effectively severed the link between spending and actual performance, more power to ya. Some people just like dropping cash on pretty rigs.

how does gravity work?

why do you have to defrag the drive on windows 10 or it all grinds to a halt?

why does that take so long?

>installing the xorg drivers

Can anyone suggest anything else?

No, definitely not. Clockrate can only be used for direct performance comparisons on identical architectures. We really haven't moved much in frequency in the last decade or so, but we keep making other improvements. For intel processors there tends to be about a 10-15% performance gain per generation at a given clock speed. And it's completely useless to compare an intel processors clocks to amd.

That's one way it goes down. Often it's possible to gain elevated privileges without unlocking the bootloader or modifying the recovery at all. Across the different device models, carriers and versions of android there have been a lot of different security measures and almost as many techniques devised to subvert them.

You'll want to get a windows ISO and use it as the source of your replacement files.

Defragging on windows 10 should be automatic and unnoticeable in the background.

The registry is a fundamental part of the way windows installs and runs programs and the system. That's almost like asking why linux still has a terminal.

if I don't care about theming or overclocking is there any reason to install cyanogenmod?

as opposed to what? just root it and do what you want. uninstall the bloatware, install shit you want.

idk, as opposed to rooted android. I thought maybe there was a big improvement in battery life or something

>i install dwb browser
>sometimes when i click her simples close

What the fuck is this?

i dont know, probably depends on what phone you have and how you set it up. there are ROMs made specifically for minimality and battery life etc.

Neither of those are reasons I would choose it for. It's ideal if your phone is old and running slowly, if it's not going to receive new features or important security updates, if you want to get rid of some bloat or have more control over your system. It does have a nice, customizeable and snappy layout, and it does give you access to a lot of features and controls that stock android does not. There's also a lot less carrier and google integration, especially if you don't add gapps, so you could argue that it's less botnet. But really it just feels free, like you're finally on a system that was made to let you do what you want, rather than one that's designed to meet the agenda of a chain of corporations. But if none of that bothered you at all in the first place, then you'll probably be pretty happy on stock. Most people are.

i was never a big fan of stallmans open source bullshit

until today

fuck FTDI

>here's a windows/mac library to interface with our hardware
what about linux?
>hahahaha lol you're funny mate

>30 minutes of google later
>finally found linux lib
>on a text only page not easily accessible from their website
>our library is closed source, if you have any issues with it please feel free to use libFTDI the open source alternative
>libFTDI is like 15% slower (we need as fast as possible)
>and has a completely different API
>a pain in the fuck ass to use on windows
>this piece of software must be linux/windows friendly
>i'd prefer to have one codebase

i can't fucking wrap my head around this

i'm having almost no issues porting my code from win to linux besides this library

how fucking hard could it be for a million dollar corporation to provide a linux library when they already provide an OSX library

the joke?
the open source lib works on Windows/Max/Linux/BSD

I know basic coding requests are probably looked down on here, but our professor basically told us to google how to do our course homework. Pic related is the first half of our assignment after roughly 6 hours of learning javascript, and the first 3 pages of google and W3schools haven't helped. Any advice?

The entwining is based on the old pro-logic concept where a third speaker plays only tones shared by the left and right channels as a "back" channel. This allows low frequency bass through, as it's always encoded in mono, but also certain midtones and muffled speech depending on how the movie's mixed. I forget how it's wired exactly, but I think you use both positives (L+ and R+) into the speaker's + and - terminals. It works, but the results aren't stellar.

Your best choice would be hooking it up to either the rear left or right channels instead, and just buying an equaliser to filter anything above a certain frequency. You can make one out of capacitors and copper coils if you want to save cash. Car sterios run on the same system.

so what did you try and what are you struggling with?

I've tried the document.image.src and some onclick events but I have so little knowledge of syntax that I barely know how to organize everything

Help, everything is red.

first, you have a radio button list, they belong to each other because their name "country" is the same.
remove all the "checked" attributes. you can only have one selected at a time, but for this you don't want any.

disclaimer: this is not how you'd usually do it, but I assume the chapter wants you to get the basics right.

for each radio button you have add the onclick attribute that calls a function.

then define that function. in there you get the source element with "this", in your case "this" will be one of the radio buttons you clicked, so you can read the value with "this.value"

then all you need is to have an image element and change it's src attribute.

Many thanks for the answer. I suppose I'll try and get the port fixed for best possible results or just use another receiver.

I've never used anything like a equalizer outside of software ones so a DIY project sounds a bit far fetched for me. Maybe if it isn't bulky I could find something cheap and use that.

Thank you my friend, I'll try my best!

What do you mean? Everything looks normal

Why was that?

Just download the system dvd
You can boot it with Hiren first and read the windows key with "produkey" tool, so you can activate new install and be all cool and legal.
Before that you might want to check his HDD for errors, also in Hiren. Menu>testing>victoria
Could take an hour or so to complete.

Where to get kmspico without "surprises"?

Bumping. I can't find shit on WPA2-TKIP besides claims it's no longer considered secure.

So I'm a big fucking idiot and when I built my computer like, 3-4 years ago

I made the mistake of LITERALLY buying a mobo that only holds amd APUs.

So if I want to have a non-shit CPU, I need to replace my motherboard, too.

Here's where the dumbass question comes in:
Should I be concerned about replacing my motherboard and keeping all my other parts? Is it gonna fuck anything up, any integration, etc?

>blocked site
There's a mirror site?

that should work

You'll need to reinstall your operating system (assuming windows).
Apart from that no

The only thing you'll be needing is new drivers. Every other piece of hardware should work fine.
Unless you're sporting AGP card or firewire peripherals or something equally exotic. What else do you have in there, besides hdds, a graphics card and cooling fans?

Thanks, lads.

>Unless you're sporting AGP card or firewire peripherals or something equally exotic.

Well, it's a basic bitch build because I made it in high school, so no. Nothing spicy in there.

So, cool.

Cable is kill.

Probbly don't need me to mention it but when buying a new mobo check the CPU power connector, some need 2x4pin while many PSUs boast only one 4pin.

Is there anyway to install a configured kodi remotely on a pc and then make a backup of it?

Well, again, I'm build-retarded so thanks for the warning.

Can anyone who uses TestOut tell me if there's a simple way to just Yank all the account-protected information on the pages I have access to?

A simple wget would be good if it was a page open to the public without an account.

i have an archer c7 v2 with a usb hard drive attached for my computer backups. it works fine as a network drive, but if i take it off and attach it to the computer directly it comes up as corrupt and needs to be formatted, but when i put it back on the router it works just fine again. what is up with that?

What filesystem and possibly worn-out usb ports.

Could we keep a severed human head alive for a relatively long period of time, with current medical technology?

Just upgrade mobo+cpu+ram, get a socket that supports high end Xeons, which at the end of the socket's lifetime you can get cheaply from decommissioned servers. Also don't buy something stupid like 4 * 4G RAM for DDR4, if you want to go to 32 then you have to replace something, however if you go for a single 16G dimm you can easily step up all the way to 128G

Almost, the majority of posters here are doing the opposite, being kept alive without a head.

I too want to know about this

If an app is asking for permissions it shouldn't have, you should avoid downloading it right?
It's common sense.
But what's to stop an app that genuinely requires those permissions from violating them too?

you can revoke that permission, but it might start crashing.

All comes down to how much you trust whoever made the app, and how much you need the service it purports to provide. Nothing really stops them from using the permissions you provide to them however they like, and unless you can peruse the source code and have the time/expertise to actually get a comprehensive understanding of the entirety of it, you can never truly know.

I know

Man
If it comes down to things like trust it sounds like it might be simpler to accept the fact your privacy will be violated and just use whatever app you want

on my phone i always disable every permission for every application unless I see myself needing it frequently. For example snapchat needs the camera almost all the time, however Facebook Messenger has to ask for permission every time.

Is there a relative safe way/website to convert paysafecards to Bitcoins?

Whats the best software to add album art to audio files? I had some program but it literally reset back to the previous art everytime I closed it.

how do you set it to ask for permission?

Why is it that when I'm on Skype with friends or something, my sound will just cut out. When this happens, all Youtube videos stop playing, all sounds from my PC just stop, including games and everything. And for some reason, it causes my Skype to drop out and hang up too. To get it working again, I have to make it so no sound would be playing if the sound was still functional (eg. move to a page on the browser where no sound would be produced, hang up on the Skype call and close my games), and then it would start up again. This can happen any number of times throughout the day, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all.

Installed the NVIDIA whatever support for DDS on photoshop and this is what happens when I try to open a DDS file with it, what do?

I got an HP computer that I want to PXE boot, the model is 6360b. Somehow when I press Network Boot from the boot options, nothing happens. It doesn't attempt to connect via the network cable or restart the computer. It looks like it's simply refreshing the boot options. What should you do in a situation like this?

>sound >recording devices >communications
make sure its set to nothing

I made a liveUSB of a cracked Windows 7 installation and had to go to hell and back to make it work on newer Intel chipsets. However I need to make another liveUSB for something else but can't find my other thumb drive. Is there a program that creates an EXACT image of a thumb drive so I can restore it later? I actually tried to make the same Win7 LiveUSB on another drive (when it was still around) and it failed miserably, so I want to keep the one that works working when needed.
