What do you guys use: winrar, 7zip, or winzip?

I moved from Canada to Thailand and I'm trying to use a Thai sim card on my phone, but I am having troubles.

Right now the Thai sim card is network locked, and I don't know how to unlock it. I read that I needed to call my previous ISP and get the code from them. I gave them my IEMI code that I got a few days ago and they gave me a code to use, and it didn't work.

I also just tried to get my IEMI code again and I'm getting a brand new error to have fun with. It says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" when i canl *#60# now.

Please help me, I've already racked up $100 in bills here and this whole process has been a nightmare.

Just edit the tags so they all show disc 1

I've got an old HP Netbook sitting around, and want to install a lighter OS on it than the Windows 10 that it automatically updated to the first time I plugged it in. I'd ideally like to give it to my mom for use on Facebook and maybe Netflix.

Got any recommendations for a distro? Specs are not great. 1.66GHZ Atom, 1 GB Ram. I would just like something light for mobile web browsing use and maybe netflix. Something easy for her to figure out that won't require any maintenance on my part. Something not-Windows so I never have to clean it for malware like I do her XP-era desktop whenever I come to visit.

I'm not sure for original charger since I found various informations on internet and never had charger for that laptop.

I bought a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad T420 last year and the thing has been pretty awesome to use. I have it hooked up on my desk to an old Dell 2001fp I got free. The problem is, the thing is always between 70 and 80c. What should I do?

What else could be causing this?

I want to switch to verizon prepaid from the gophone prepaid service.

i have a clear sim card for the verizon phone i want to use but I also want to port my number from my old gophone plan. what do i do?

Is it okay two mix brands of DDR 3 RAM that have the exact same timing and frequency?

verizon is cdma

Which is the best 256gb usb stick right now? I'm looking at the sandisk ultra, but the recent reviews say it has a bad speed.
What's a good alternative?

Also, should I go for the g403 wireless or wired? If I go for the wireless, can I still use an usb cable, and it's the same as getting a wired, or is there a difference?

ya i know, i have a new phone from a friend. its a cdma phone.

i have a Verizon sim card and now i want to use it to get the prepaid Verizon service. i also want to be able to port my number from my old phone which i don't really see as a problem to be too challenging.

ya, its fine.

>cdma
>sim
Pick one.

this is the sim card that i have for the verizon phone. its a cdma sim card i suppose. it hasnt been used and i want to activate it on the prepaid service.

i'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly.

nigga oh my fucking god

CDMA IS NOT A FUCKING SIM CARD
SIM IS NOT A FUCKING CDMA
THEY ARE TWO COMPLETLY DIFFERENT THINGS

You dont call yogurt epoxy do you?

ohhhhh, ok. my bad dude.

is there anything else i could do with this phone, it's a galaxy s6 but it's cdma so i can't use it on at&t

What are signs a power supply is going out?

My computer now doesn't turn on unless I hit the power button, wait for it to do some weird half boot and shut back off. And before it turns back on and off again I hit the switch on the back wait 5-10 seconds and turn it back on then when I hit the power button it fires back up as normal.

It's the weirdest fucking thing.

Alright I just updated Windows 10 and I'm having a few annoyances

First, is there any way to get rid of cortana and get the usual search box back? When it just says 'search the web and windows'

Second, is there any way to move or get rid of the notification icon on the far right? It used to be to the left of the date and time, not having the time in the corner is really pissing me off.

Third, you know how in Windows explorer you resize your icons in a library and then when you enter a folder all the icons are that size? That isn't happening. I have to have to resize them for each goddamn folder, what the fuck?

Is it possible to do a clean install of a linux distro on a system that is already in a windows/linux dual boot configuration, such that the windows partitions remain untouched whereas the existing linux partitions are deleted, manually re-partitioned, and used for installing the new linux distro?

I set up the dual boot config and did the partitioning manually some years ago and I no longer remember how / why I did the partitions, thankfully I didn't fuck up my windows install at the time but I do remember messing up the MBR and having to use a live GRUB rescue USB, everything worked fine after that up until now that I want to use a different linux distro and have no idea how to go about it without fucking something up.

Anyone mind doing a quick TL;DR: on how to make this happen safely, or point me to intermediate-friendly resource where I can read up on it?

kek. Verizon has had Sim cards for years. That's why that pick exists. It's not enough on it's own to transfer your number, unlike strait up GSM, but it is a required component thanks to 4g. The real issue here is what network the phone was made for and whether it came unlocked.

Why do I get an error of invalid initializer when I type this?

int c[10] = ( 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 );

It's from C

To piggy back off of your issue, the windows partition manager is absolute shit, I've got about 200 free gigs on the drive I want to shrink but it won't let me. Any idea why?

Presumably Grub is in charge of choosing between the OSes, and since linux is the last thing to be installed on your system, it will simply replace the old copy of grub with a new one, so from your point of view it's pretty much automatic, unless something goes wrong, then you get out the live disk like before.

It's just hella picky about moving file fragments around. Just install easeUS partition manager.

Pretty sure those should be curly brackets, senpai.

Is windows 10 actually bad?

Is it worth buying a second SSD for W7 in addition to one with W10 to dual boot?

Thanks, user-san.

Why the hell would you buy a whole second drive instead of just partitioning the first one?

Maybe this has changed with Windows 10, but doesn't Windows have issues if it's not installed on the partition closest to the beginning of the disk? I think this is why people who want to dual boot Windows and Linux are instructed to install Windows first.

Or I could do that, it doesn't matter

just is it worth having both W7 and W10 to avoid using W10 when I don't have to, or is 10 not actually that terrible?

Not so much concerned abou the telemetry/spying stuff so much as just the UI/technical issues/having less control over stuff then on 7

What is the point of using both 7 & 10?

Seagate's got a 4tb RAID 0 external drive for kinda cheap

should I get it? Or is RAID too risky for a backup drive?

Also, I'm not sure if this is a C++-only thing, but it should be sufficient to type

int c[10] = {0};

Lemme see if I got it right:

>boot the new distro live USB
>select manual partitioning
>wipe the extended partition where /, /home, and swap are currently nested
>create a new extended partition with the new /, /home, and swap
>steer clear of the windows partitions
>proceed to install new distro

That about right?

Also, for some reason the boot flag is currently set to the first windows partition after the recovery partition, but GRUB is indeed in charge of OS selection after the BIOS screen, does that make any sense, and if not which partition should I flag as boot this time around?

RAID 0 is for speed and shouldn't be used for backups. I assume it has two 4TB disks inside? If one of those fails, you're fucked.

People install windows first because Grub2 is better at cross OS support than windows boot loader, and whatever gets installed last is in charge of boot.

Everybody has their own opinion on whether 10 is great or terrible. It sounds like you would be happy only installing one, and if you don't need Dx12 I would make that win7 for now.

Hmm, guess I should get a regular then and keep a RAID 0 internal setup.

What is the most truswrothy External HDD? Im just looking for something to keep my terabytes of animu porn safe while I RAID the shit out of my internal drives, but all the reviews always say "works great on my ps4!"

Raid is not backup

Yes I know
I keep RAID for my regular drives, but I need a backup drive

do modern CPUs wear out with normal use? I mean, can I buy a 4-year old CPU and expect it to last another 4 years?

Whats a good free Video Editor?

They won't degrade physically, but they will be a lot slower at the same clock speed than a current gen. And 8 years after release you'll be hurtin pretty hard for some speed.

Does it matter if I upload videos and play videogames at the same time? Does it affect the gaming experience, since online videogames use download speed than upload speed?

well, I'm currently using an 8-year old C2D, and it's still fine for everyday tasks.

I installed gnome on a fresh debian install. It installed a metric ton of dependencies. Now I want to remove everything with apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove gnome, but somehow it only removed that one gnome package, and now apt-get auroremove doesn't do jack shit. Short of parsing the history.log, can anyone please explain why the hell is apt having a fit?

Ubuntu MATE or Linux Lite?

What should I install if I want a "just werks" distro that's also super lightweight and stable, but also isn't limiting when it comes to customization?

If you're fully saturating your upload bandwidth that will limit your download as well. You don't get download without a little upload.

Why'd you ask then?

because it's useless for those other tasks and I need to upgrade

>other tasks

What's the Cred Forums approved windows HDD health check software?

My point exactly. Anyway, processors don't usually die of old age, it's just usually not a good deal price/performance wise to go that far back

do you guys still use malware bytes?

Should I get a SSD?

>Why is twitter shit?
What were you expecting?

CloudReady.

Do the fans spin up? Any diagnostic lights? Did you accidentally unplug the power?

WD Red or Enterprise grade.

>Does it matter if I upload videos and play videogames at the same time? Does it affect the gaming experience, since online videogames use download speed than upload speed?
Depends on the game. Also, multiplayer online video games require upload bandwidth as well.

My pic's motherboard fits in a 550ti, will it also fit a 780? Thinking about upgrading my pc

I have been thinking about it but I don't know if it's worth it. Really I basically just browse the web, shit posting, and watching YouTube.

Is there a way to create a tree in a depth first or breadth first manner?

I know how to create a tree of depth n and breadth m, but how do you create it in a breadth or depth first fashion?

I thought depth/breadth first was just a traversal method.

Can anyone give me some context?

guy fromI've made some progress, it now gives 5 beeps. Yes the fans are spinning at max. 5 beeps apperantly means CMOS battery. It is a CR2032 battery, I've tried replacing it with a CR2025 but sadly that doesn't do it. I've also done a CMOS reset, by using the jumper. But it still gives 5 beeps. It won't go into BIOS.

So logical step would be buying a CR2032 battery right? I'm asking this because I've read that it should be possible to get into the BIOS without the battery.

My Wi-Fi router has been about half a meter away from my balls for the past year daily for 6-12 hours.

Do I have ball cancer now?

Yeah, get a new battery. CR2032's are dirt cheap.

Try entering the Tour de France. Thats the only way to confirm it.

So it is bullshit that you can access the BIOS without CMOS battery?

It's a Verizon galaxy s6 straight from verizon. I just want to get prepaid service on it.

I googled around and i know you can port your number. I just want to know if i can use this empty sim card to get the service

Damn, I sound like a robot

>access the BIOS without CMOS battery
Honestly, I don't know. But why would you risk bricking your computer when replacement batteries can be had for 5$?

This question may make me sound like a dribling retard but I don't understand how resources in games are allocated.

FOR EXAMPLE

Say I have a 1070 and I cap it at 60 fps through various options as jumping from 60-100 is as distracting to me as 30-60, is that wasting its potential?

Does this limiting then allow it to allocate its power elsewhere e.g. physics, lighting or textures?

Your monitor is 99.999999% 60hz, vsync+triple buffering is all you need.
>performance
No

Not sure what you mean by " > performance"

Implying it won't be able to allocate performance elsewhere?

it is 60hz, but if I get a higher one and this can't meet the constant framerate needed won't it feel as shitty?

You're going to be rendering despite this settings, this setting actively caps its self for better fps, so it isnt jittery bouncing from 10-100+ fps.

>as shitty
What?

So I want to get into private trackers, and I want to get a seedbox to seed as much as possible for dat ratio, since when I tried to seed from my own connection I couldn't keep up a ratio at all. So I'm wondering, since all the seeding and downloading is done from the seedbox and not from my own connection do I need a VPN for my home connection? I'm guessing not, but what do you guys think?

I'm trying to find why this C program is getting a seg fault, and I've tracked it down with printf to this line:

//white pawn test
if(*piece == '\0')
{
*piece = 'P';
}

is there some blatant reason this would cause a segfault that I'm too stupid to see?

I searched for a google sheet template for a workout routine and found one within the first couple results. I opened the google sheet and it was view only but had a "Add to Drive" button. How do I simply download a copy of this random guy's google sheet to my drive? I tried "Add to Drive" and it just added the guy's view only sheet to my drive.

Never having had a higher frequency monitor, say like 144hz, if I can't meet something like 100+ frames, won't it feel as odd as if I couldn't meet 60 frames on a 60hz monitor?

Yo, anyone know a good how-to guide on Cassandra? Got to start a project in a few weeks and I want to get a head start.

You're using pointers wrong. Delete those asterisks and it should work alright.
Also, use code tags to post code in a non-retarded way.

You should really consult , my C is rusty.

What's the modern equivalent of the Logitech G400? I want something big, cheap, and durable.

If piece is set to NULL or uninitialized, that would do it. Have you tried running Valgrind?

pls respond

When I get rid of the asterisks I get a "assignment makes pointer from integer without cast" warning

I'm afraid of dpt calling me out on my stupidity

I don't know what valgrind is...

I installed seamonkey and I have it set as the default browser but when I click links in like discord chats or steam chats it still opens firefox, what am I supposed to do to change it

no, but I'd still recommend it if that's what you're asking

g600

Is there actually any memory allocated at that pointer address? If you using an IDE there is a probably a built in a debugger which you can run which'll allow you to get an idea of what is going on faster than just using printf statements, and if you aren't using an idea you could run it with gdb (cgdb might be a bit easier to use)

If foo(bar) returns -1 if it encounters an error, is it faster to check
if (foo(bar) < 0) ...
or
if (foo(bar) == -1) ...
?

>and if you don't need Dx12

I don't need it but i'd like to be able to play DX12 games, yeah

the real concern is that with windows removing pick a patch support this friday, if i'm going to have a 7 install, it needs to be now so I can pick and choose which updates I want installed before I lose the ability to and I just turn updates off entirely

You shouldn't be concerned with the performance "loss" of checking a single integer value.

But I have autism. Please tell me.

Wow.... No, there was not any memory allocated.

thanks.

Best torrent client(s) for Windows?

qbittorrent or deluge

In the fundamentals of engineering exam, what is the handbook they provide like?

There is no difference. How does that make you feel.

Not exactly sure if this qualifies as a stupid question, but what exactly does the "A2" on the corner of the screen during boot-up stand for?

Lately while booting up my windows 7 it seems to get stuck for some good 30-40 seconds on a black screen with nothing on it except a tiny white "A2" on the lower right corner.

My hard disk drive went missing just now, I only noticed it because all my files were "missing" on my torrent. It wasn't even showing up in disk manager.

Fixed itself when I restarted the computer. It's some cheap WD blue 1TB drive. Should I be worried about my data already? It's only 8 months old, how can it be malfunctioning already?

I'm installing Debian on a dinosaur laptop, and it looks like it is taking too much time. I also can't see any kind of text after I selected the install option after the USB booted. Am I doing something wrong?

A2 is usually related to detecting SATA devices. Unplug things to figure out what's making it slow.

Really need some help on this one

I only have a DVD player and a single HDD.

I'll try unplugging the DVD player later today, but might it be the HDD dying? That's fucking scary, I haven't done a backup in ages. The build isn't even that old, bought everything 5 years ago.

Are the latest Nvidia drivers fucked? My PC keeps soft resetting and wont detect my right monitor afterwards, doesn't fix itself until a real restart. Should I just downgrade the drivers?

>Non-iodizing radiation
You have about the same chance of getting cancer from it as you do from fucking the neighbor's dog, dumbass.

I don't use AIMP but when I want to do that, I typically just retag the files so instead of like "JRSF Soundtrack Disc 1" or a DISCNUMBER tag, they're all just "JRSF Soundtrack" with track numbers 101, 102, ... 1xx, 201, 202, etc.

don't have money for another monitor just to go up frequency, live in the UK and have £360, what card?

Why get a new card at 1080p?

The computer itself still has to do the actual rendering. The monitor can only display what it is ultimately given in the first place. It is just the final bottleneck.

>Well, the real final bottleneck is you. That is why the 30fps retard train still exists. So many special snowflakes with mutant eyes that cannot tell the difference. That said, as long as you are not genetically inferior, your eyes should not play a factor.

How would I write something in C that looks through a row or column of a 2D array representing a chess board, and verifies that there are no pieces in between a rook and it's destination?

I have enough money to buy an SSD but i've been putting it off because I'm afraid putting my installation of Windows on it would be a massive hassle.

It's not.

Second.

First is USB 2. "Up to 480 Mb/s" is only the theoretical speed limit of USB 2 itself. It does not say anything about the flash memory's read or write speed. Also 480 Mb/s is in megaBITS per second, or 60 MB/s. Realistically USB 2 will go up to about 25-30 MB/s if the device can keep up.

Nothing wrong with the 3rd one technically, but the design is WTF. It's like a flat key thing but the butt end looks very not flat.

More amps is always FINE. Go with 4.62 or more. The only downside of a higher amperage charger is it's larger and weighs more than the lower amp model.

I'm meaning wouldn't inconsistency feel as weird?

Hence why I like the idea of locking a 1070 to 60 fps as it should be able to meet it. Unless in an undemanding game where it could easily get 100+.

Should I get a 1070 again? I made enough profit off it to easily get another.

is there a way to select every email from a specific address and delete it, or mark it as spam, or put it in a separate folder, anything of that nature

The *slot* will fit it. Both use PCIe 16x slots. However I see the 550ti card itself is shorter than the 780, so there are 2 possible problems you can run into:
- Dickhead motherboard designers put some heatsink or plug in the way or long cards. Look at the board and if there's anything tall directly behind your GPU, you might have problems.
- Your case doesn't fit a card that long. If it's a normal desktop case it'll be fine. If it's some special compact case it may not.

You get an SSD that matches your current system partition size (or larger), and then you use a utility to copy the whole thing over.

The real question is why the hell you are checking for < 0 when you are trying to find if it is -1. Is there no situation when it could be any other negative number (ex. -2, -3, etc.)? It seems like the first is objectively more retarded and error prone than the first as you continually change bar.

Hi everyone.

I recently got my RX 480 in the mail and I've noticed it's got a rather strange idle temperature.

I've got all the drivers installed, played some games yesterday, does it all well and dandy. But when I'm doing nothing, or when I'm doing very minimal stuff (i.e. Skype (not even video calliing), Youtube videos, etc.), the temperature is in the high almost constantly above 53 degrees celsius. How can I make this thing run cooler? Is this just an AMD card thing? Is this a side-effect of not going Nvidia?

Also I've noticed, since coming to this thread, the clock is fluctuating between 400mhz and 800mhz. Before opening Chrome, it was at a constant 300mhz.

Any help is appreciated.

Relevant (I think) specs:
Intel Core i5 6600K

I'm looking for a program that I saw discussed here a while back in a thread about file organizing with an OP pic like this.

I think it was named Hydra or something like that, and I think it was Windows-only. Someone described it as basically being a booru on your local machine, with extensive tagging and searching capabilities.

Anyone able to point me to where I can find it? Searching for Hydra doesn't give me much besides comic books and a ruby library. I checked the Cred Forums wiki and didn't see it mentioned there either.

no, the nvidia drivers are grouped together, the latest version supports all the latest cards

It should be pretty obvious to everyone what the pictures were. What do I do? I know the chances of me getting in legal trouble because of this is very, very small (especially considering that in my shithole the only thing that's explicitly illegal is distribution, but the rest is a very gray area), but I'm absolutely terrified.

Depends on if he has a fetish for that sort of thing.

Sounds fucked. You want to un-update, but you can't open the Settings app, where you'd usually do it, directly from Task Manager. So you have to get there a different way.
1. Task Manager, File->Run new task, type in "control" and hit OK. Control Panel should open.
2. In the search box, type "uninstall". The results should include "Programs and Features". Click that.
3. Click "View installed updates" in the left column.
From there you should be able to remove some recent updates and see if that helps you.

If that still doesn't fix it, System Restore to a time when it worked.
1. Task Manager, File->Run new task, systempropertiesadvanced. That will open the old System Properties dialog.
2. Click the System Protection tab.
3. Click the System Restore button.

Still it can't be good for us to have all this shit buzzing about. Everything wants to go wireless but I'm fine with wires.

tyvm user, have a dorf fort picture

i hope you configured it for tor before looking around

You sound like you are twelve. Piss off, junior. Go get your sense of self-gratification from somewhere that is constructive. Take up a hobby. Join a startup. Do something other than be useless.

>Oh wait...you are on Cred Forums...you clearly are human garbage and this is the only way you will ever feel any sense of purpose. Carry on.

Oh I see, thank you.

I take it that these temps won't lower the lifespan of the card then? I have nothing to worry about?

I was using a ZeroNet proxy, so no.

Least I'm not the one pirating software. Educate yourself.

Were you using a VPN?

CAN you use a VPN?

I've always wanted to download Zeronet but I'm scared of this happening to me.

You need to be 18 years or older to post on Cred Forums.

you are fucked the fbi and lea gonna find you, even if you are in another country they gonna tip of the secret service of your country and they gonna put you into the darkest jail they can find with motumbo and his friends.

jokes a side, you are most likely fine(there is never a 100% security), if you want to be sure buy a new hdd and ssd and don´t give a fuck anymore. but the chance is like 0.0000001% thet they fug you

lel, full clearnet?

yea, secure erase anything relevant and hope nobody was watching
it's pretty unlikely to be targeted for a one off thing like that, too easy to write it off as a mistake on the users' part

Wires still emit non-idolizing radiation. The coating on them blocks out most of it, but there is always some there as that is just how electricity works. Besides, wireless communications are mostly either radio (as is the case of a router) or microwave (as in the case in communications). The former is completely save as they are everywhere and the latter is only dangerous if you are right next to the source for a very, very long time (decades). Say the word "potato." There. You just emitted radio waves much more dangerous than your router.

Why is it telling me this even though I'm selecting the program? I've also tried moving it to different folders but I keep getting the message?

I was moving 2 folders on a NAS drive from one folder to another. Dialog "administrator priveldges needed" to move this, clicked ok twice. It created the folders at the destination location but the files are missing inside. Can I recover these files or am I fucked?

I wont make a new thread for this because maybe I'm being paranoid but, I got a halifax advert on Cred Forums.
Is this new?

This bait is just getting more and more tasty. I cannot stop eating it!

How does that hurt you? You still have the same software. It's clearly not devalued since it does the same as it always did, and buying it again would cost the same. And unlike him, you have that warm fuzzy feeling that you supported the large company that made the software.

Same as your phone is no less valuable if some Tyrone someplace steals one of the same model.

yes amd gpus can even stand 90+°C and Idle mode only goes to up 60°C so nothing to fear over lifetime. Also Amd gets hoter/draws more power because the hardware is much more complex than nvdias.
GCN is a monster (sadly so complex that writing drivers for it is a nightmare, on average GCN is only around 70% used even on the best optimised games, thats why amd ages so good they just have that much grow room but they are a nightmare to write drivers for, also one of the reasons they are so good at dx12(less driver programing))

Yeah. The guke overlord is being a faggot.

He just only finds value in things if others are made to go without them. Ignore him. He will grow out of it some time after his balls drop.

Getting new hardware, wanting to build it ground-up with a distro, but am curious about passthrough.

Is the overhead on the GPU passthrough something to worry about in a recent system, or is it more for the older systems where memory is an issue?

ok I bite, no there is no way you can get him steam banned, even if you reported it to the police they would need a search warrent for his house which won´t get issued because there reason is to small. So nobody gives a fuck even on the legal side.

Also you are a faggot and I hope he reads this and never meets you again fucking cuck

But he has admitted to criminal activity on Steam

Are the files still present at the source location or in some NAS specific dustbin location? If not, it sounds like you're fucked.

What's the issue with it? Cred Forums has had banner ads for a long time. I'm used to having mostly Jlist ones. Or is there something particularly sinister about Halifax? Is this a Canuckistan thing? I hadn't heard of them.

Even if the FBI raided his house and saw a pirated game on his PC, they would just go on collecting whatever other evidence they were after. They care if you're making it into a commercial counterfeiting operation, but they don't give a fuck about having a few pirated programs.

also if you are interessed to read more about Async how it works, its problems with amd and nvidia I recomment this thread on reddit( ye i know.... but its a good thread so what ever) reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/50dqd5/demystifying_asynchronous_compute/

user just buy chink drives. They're dirt fucking cheap and work just as well. I ordered three 2tb drives the other day for $15 and $3 shipping total

I just have a strong dislike for google adsense.
Also british so these will be location based ads.
but they're also flash player and shit like that aswell which I hate.

If you hate these really widespread types of ad, I can only assume you already have Adblock / uBlock / whatever. If you hate the ads so much, block them.

nobody gives a fuck about a few pirated games/software, really nobody, even if he downloads like 200games it doesn´t matter.
If he would distribute said pirated software on a large scale and I mean large like uploading on forums AND makes money out of it, not he gives it to friends. The moment he makes LARGE amounts of cash with pirated stuff you "could" fuck him but anything other is just to small for anybody giving a fuck so you are out of luck

Only if he operates on a commercial scale matters and he doesn´t fullfill that with just downloading it, he needs to make cash(not 10$ like 5k+) for anybody starting to give a fuck about it.

I will, I just had it turned off manually for Cred Forums.

The files/folders are gone from the source folder. I don't see any cache/temp folder. It's an external drive hooked up to my router.

The fan of my PSU is spinning really slow. Since months ago it starts like this when I turn on the computer and then it gets faster, but now it started running slow alway. What is the meaning of this?

Probably dust build up. Hit that shit with some q-tips.

Lubuntu

I made a directory tree using a bash script. Only problem is that it doesn't work properly unless I first include an mkdir $3 (third commandline entity) line before I go into creating the tree using loops.

Even then for some reason I get an mkdir error in the terminal saying the file already exists and can't be created. Even though the files are indeed successfully created.

Hey guys this is a bit of a stupid question, but I think it is best suited on this board, as I'm sure many of you spend your whole days in an office, you could give me the best answer to these questions

I am looking for the clearest, as in clear visibility, sheet protectors for standard size papers.

I realize this may seem ridiculous, so I'll state the reason I need this is because I am making a booklet of sheet music and I'd like to make it look nice while I'm at it. This is one of those things you only do once, I'll be using it for years to come (as long as I have it and can play), and I plan on getting a leather 3-ring binder with a zipper to go with it.

For whatever reason, ever since I first set up this PC, the network icon always says I'm disconnected. I have no issues with the actual connectivity, but the icon is getting a bit annoying since it's always incorrect.

Any idea what might be causing this, or how I might go about fixing it? Any advice is appreciated.

Best Canadian ISP?

Nothing is going to happen if you accidentally look on a couple of child porn pictures. Everyone accidently opens up a few pictures over their lives, it happens to the best of us. The people who get busted for it are the type of people who have gigabytes tied around their necks and brag about it on facebook or the people actually creating and distributing it.

whats the best firefox extension for Cred Forums?

i'm using ccd0's Cred Forums X + nebukazar's OneeChan

think of it this way: Cred Forums has thousands, if not millions, of unique users from USA, Canada, GB, Europe

I'd say EASILY 25%, of them if not more, see some CP per month. there's literally no way the police could arrest everyone, even if they wanted to

you only need to worry if you're either making, distributing, or funding/purchasing

a mistake is a mistake

I'm not bullshitting though, DBAN your mech HDD, replace your SSD, reinstall OS
Even if you left things as is, NOTHING should happen.
However, I recommend taking these steps nonetheless, always plan for the worse.

Now that Adblock plus sucks. What are my alternatives and will they Jew out any time soon?

I used to purchase external hard drives for my anime. Haven't done so for two years.

Which TB sizes do I avoid for instability? I recall 3TB were bad back then.

Did I still have to avoid reds and get blacks?

lol, say hi to 2011 for me

We went from Adblock plus, to Adblock Edge, to Ublock Origin which is the current one

where the fuck have you been?

I traded edge for plus a few years ago. But I suppose Ublock is my next step.

im using a 5 year old laptop for digital art
(using ps cs6 and id rather not use cs5). will upgrading the ram help it run smoother or is it more of a cpu issue? right now its running 4g ram and 2.1ghz with an intel pentium processor

Download and post Speccy.

I left some info on a website that does not let you reopen accounts before I closed it. It bothers me a lot but is there anything I can do?

Also yes, trowing a SSD too.

...

i've got this Acer laptop, not sure how old it is, about 2 years maybe.

it runs real hot, i looked at speccy and tried running Age of Empires on it to test it, and it shoots up to like 140 degrees celcius and konks out soon after.

idling, it can sit anywhere from 80 to 90 degrees celcius. this thing is going to fucking fry itself, how can i salvage it? i've tried unclogging vents with dust, not much noticeable difference.

>yes its an AyyMD housefire

For a digital art student/etc you really suck at taking screenshots.

oops

Yes, trowing another 4GB stick will make it run photoshop better.
Also a SSD would make it faster, you have a 300GB HDD anyway.

Also you might want to repaste that computer eventually and clean the dust since i assume its a HP Pavilion.

on the one hand, nobody knows everything from the start

on the other, its lulworthy that you wonder why you're getting shit performance from 4gb of ram and a pentium

AMD?

Repaste the fucker.

okay thanks. im not about to spend on an SSD but i will spend on ram. i think its due for a reformat though so ill try that first

nah /ic/ trained me to post under 1k pixel for side length. no idea why paint didnt resize the entire canvas tho

shitcan it and get a thinkpad
never by Acer again

soo this might sound particularly stupid but I have never synced my phone with google because of that part where it says "sync contacts" because I have a bunch of social media accounts dedicated purely to creeping on hot chicks and I don't want contacts on my phone getting linked to these shits, or anything of that sort.
But I need the other features of syncing my phone with google, and the contacts are part of a package deal.
Can someone either quel or confirm my fears, what does google contact syncing do exactly

wut i know its getting shit performace dingus. thats why im asking what the best option is to fix it. most of the time it runs just fine. its 'other' percent of the time that makes it unbearable so im trying to figure out how to eliminate that

Not him but the only good quality Acer product i have used are the 2-1 tablets, 2 years and the battery still lasts 8 hours and trough miracles the eMMC still hasn't fucked up.

It also can boot from the keyboard HDD.

Hoping I'm not too late, but was wondering if anyone could give me some quick tips on probably a stupid question.

I got a raspberry pi 3, and I currently use my logitech wireless keyboard to type commands. Thing is, I was wondering if there was some way I could "link" my laptop keyboard to that logitech receiver inside the pi, so that I could type on my laptop and whatever commands I put, show up on the raspberry pi which is connected to my TV. I use the raspberry pi for just an emulator to play with my friends, and having to drag around a large, keyboard rather than my laptop is annoying.

Thanks in advance!

>2tb drives
2TB USB flash drives?

Is there a good site to buy laptop replacement screens? It's an older laptop but it would be nice to have again.
I have been thinking of upgrading to a new laptop as well any recommendations?

External HDD enclosure or NAS/DIY-NAS?

Adding more ram wont fix it, but will help a lot since IIRC photoshop is really ram heavy.

Your CPU is not that bad since all you do is photoshop.

>I have been thinking of upgrading to a new laptop as well any recommendations?
Knowing what you use it for and budget would be a good start.

lucky i got it given to me then

pic fucking related

repaste you say?

is it as easy on a laptop as with a desktop? i've never actually popped open a laptop before.

No.

In desktop its remove HSF and thats it.

In laptop is
Remove HDD and others>Remove safety screws>Remove keyboard screws>Remove case> unscrew HSF>Probably move the cooper plate>Repaste>Put everything together again

Only to get 20°C less.

Budget probably under 1000, I wouldn't want to waste too much, I have a desktop already for gaming but I'm leaving for the Navy so i'd need something to have on a ship to watch movies, light gaming (RTS or some rpgs), maybe work.

is there a fire demon living in your laptop

Thinkpad x220 for something cheap and used.
Dell inspiron 15 5000 for something new.

ill definatley consider adding more ram but i think,it just may need a reformat. its been taking massive shits for no reason starting last night

Download the W7 ISO and Daz loader then, should take you 1 hour tops.

fuck me

well, it will be a learning experience then

Still adding 4GB extra to your computer will be worth it for cheap.

>How do i know they are safe/real?
Check SHA-1 of the files.

Is there any good, free anti-virus software?
I accidentally a virus while trying to download a mod for SimCity 4. I deleted every associated program and file I could find and it seems to be gone. Also ran Security Essentials and it didn't find anything. Then I did a system restore. Still worried about it though.

Malwarebytes + Adwcleaner are the best combo you can get currently.

Thanks. Hopefully I don't just download another virus.

Do you feel something shady running?
If those 2 dont find anything then you are safe, run JRT and Avast just to be safe if you wanna go full paranoid.

But first:
1.Check your Startup list (msconfig or trough CCleaner).
2.Check recourse monitor network and HDD section for something weird running.

If you can access the drive directly with a computer, you can use Testdisk to look for the deleted files. They'll most likely appear in the original or new directory, in red to indicate they're deleted. You can then use the C key to copy them out to another drive. Then when you're done using Testdisk, copy them back.

Of course if the data that used to be those files has been (partially) overwritten, the files are (partially) lost.

>something shady running
Processor was running at 26% which is high for my setup.
>But first:
1.Check your Startup list (msconfig or trough CCleaner).
Had done that aleady and found something that was related to the shit I had just downloaded.
2.Check recourse monitor network and HDD section for something weird running
Did that. I'm not a computer wiz but I found a couple sketchy things.

I just ran adwcleaner and it found this shit

Think I'm good now. Thanks again. First time I've had a virus in a long ass time.

Run Malwarebytes now.

So, I'm working on a computer for someone and I turn it on and the fans spin on the PSU except for the PSU fan itself. Should I replace the PSU?

Is there any phone app or computer mic software that does noise rejection like Amazon Echo? Or would I need an actual hardware array like Echo does?

Basically I need to be able to take listenable voice recordings in a noisy environment.

Is there and easy way to switch video cards without manually switching them around? I have a GTX 980 and a spare 960. My goal is to run a Windows XP VM in Windows 10 so I can make sure I can still play older games that may have compatibility issues on newer operating systems. So I keep my 980 in the x16 slot, and my 960 in my x8 slot.

The reason I need the 960 is that Nvidia doesn't have XP drivers for the 980, however it DOES have drivers for the 960. So my goal is to use my 980 for general gaming and switch to the 960 for virtualbox. However simply plugging in the hdmi to the 960 doesn't work, and from Nvidia control panel there doesn't appear to be an option to simply "switch" the active GPU. GPU passthrough doesn't seem to be an option, it only works in Linux, at least on virtualbox. I don't want to have to manually switch out the GPU just to play the odd XP game, so is there another way?

Can anyone recommend me a laptop that is not autistic? Currently have a T430 and sick of the thinkpad meme. I use it for my business and the battery life is horrible compared to other people I work with that have more modern laptops. Want something that looks/feels good, has a dock available for it, and powerful. Not a gaymer, integrated graphics are fine.

>If those 2 dont find anything then you are safe

You mean there's a fairly good chance the malware was removed. Once you've been infected, you can never be 100% sure without wiping the system. That's not how AVs work.

Internet goes out every couple minutes now when it used to go out only every couple of hours. What do?

I tried unplugging the modem and router and leaving it off for like 20-30 minutes in case something was overheating, but it still goes out. It went out while I was typing this.

Renting an Ubee ddm352 modem for about 2 years now and the router is a D-Link DIR-615 from like 2010/2011, maybe older.

If I delete my gmail account, can someone claim it after a certain period of time or is it permanently unavailable?

What are the best ways to protect my computer and my phone from being stolen and the data on it accessed? I just want to prepare for something like that.

Here's the things I'm wondering
Does encryption make my computer or phone slower?
I have CM13 on my phone and Win10 on my computer.

Never mind, I found out how to get 3d acceleration running smoothly in VirtualBox. Everything runs great but for some reason the Steam client runs like trash. Going to try to see if any games actually run.

What can I do with a shitty Atom N270 netbook?

>3d acceleration
>virtualbox

back when i was multiboxing, you had to use VMWare because virtualbox had 0 3d support at the time lmao

Does the Wine font have a name?

What's your processor and version of windows?

Yeah, they've had 3d support for a while, which you need to fully enable aero on windows 7. I just find it kind of glitchy so I never run it personally.

What's a good speed 256Gb usb stick? I'll mainly use it to listen to music in my xar, but I don't want to wait one hour to move some files around

i5-6600k and Windows 10 running and XP host. Everything runs faster in 3d accelerated mode but for some reason Steam just won't work properly, even though it did before when I wasn't using 3d mode. I tried some older games like Doom and Duke 3d, they worked fine in DOSBox, the Doom sourceport I used didn't work at all though but it probably just doesn't support XP. Going to try some heavy hitters tomorrow, I have Far Cry, Half Life 2 and Doom 3 lined up.

I meant which version of windows 10? And make sure you have vt-d turned on in bios.

Google gives inconsistent answers. Does facebook track who views your profile and if so, is there a way to see that information?

Yes and no.

Facebook tracks EVERYTHING. They don't share with people who aren't companies.
