I'm trying to record my voice, but my fucking laptop fan won't stop making noise. The laptop isn't even hot. What fucking do?

Use your phone or headset to record the audio and not your shitty laptops mic.

Directional microphone.
Wireless microphone and stay away from your laptop
Put your laptop under sheets or something to smother the noise
Record with a low mic volume but speak louder.
Record with your phone, it may surprise you.
First or third party programs to control fan speed, but this is dangerous if you fuck up.

Anybody know how I could go about installing 64 bit Java on my 64 bit Firefox? Everything I've looked up so far says I'd have to have the 32 bit installation for some goddamn reason.

nigga

shit son, nice mic. Yeah listen to this dude and if your laptop isn't hot just smother it under some sheets.

so windows 10 updated today and for some weird reason the sticky notes app has gotten incredibly slow when i type new stuff.

it does the thing when it slows down and when you let go of the keyboard when done typing, the text is catching up.

i have quite a lot of stuff in the note and when i just create a new empty one it's obviously faster, so i guess that's why but god damn it it was not like that before.

any ideas?

repostin

Is a STEM degree really worth it?

I feel like everybody else is behind some really easy material.

Also, what sort of side projects look good on a resume?

is there any kind of online messenger that is en cryp ted ? Like an account less client that is browser based?

check your system monitor and get rid of bloat. odds are that chrome or some shit is using up a ton of CPU.

Better, install a light linux distro.

if you like it enough it's worth it.
if you don't, don't bother. too much work.

>accountless
not really
use tox if you want to talk to someone specific, but you have to exchange info with them somehow.

uninstall the one, install the other.
sticky keys, maybe?

Do fast food employees care if you get a water cup and then fill it with soda?

My mom does this every time we go out somewhere with a soda cup and I feel like it's only a matter of time before we are confronted for it. I, being on the straight and narrow, only fill my water cup with water.

it would be penny pinching at best for them. I don't think so.

That's soda piracy, illegal.

I want Foobar to open a playlist in the playlist viewer when I click it once and start playing it when I double click it. Why won't that shit work?

Right now I need to double click the playlist, it opens, and I have to double click a song to start playing anything.

It's not medieval times I shouldn't have to double click twice

Google searches only show me people who don't understand how the media library works, none of it is related to the playlist stuff

What kind of impact does having a touch screen in my laptop have on battery?

If you didn't pay for soda, you can't have soda.

Not really noticable next to playing videos. I don't know how they manage power either, but it could not take any if it's not being used.

Yeah, I know you're not supposed to but will they call you out for it? She always says "oh they won't care, don't worry about it" but I feel embarrassed.

Is using my credit card in google store a good idea?

My internet has been sluggish recently and randomly cutting out, even though windows doesn't indicate the internet connection is lost.

I thought it was my ISP, but when I try accessing my router's settings when it happens, the page wont load. Should be a router thing, right?

Any ideas how to diagnose it better? Don't really wanna buy a new router.

It's called not being a thieving fuck with your trashy mom.
In nigger neighbors they got the pop machine behind counter to stop people doing what you and your mom's doing.

>what sort of side projects look good on a resume
Something that's noteworthy for a business, aka databases, especially data extraction and frontend GUI.
Unless you wrote a program in a language that's relevant to the business in question, in which case it might help

>Is using ... credit card ... good idea?
No.
Buy a prepaid at a store with the card and THEN buy shit

Try to connect to the router via phone or another PC.
I have this shit once in a while and it basically make everything connected via wifi slow down to a crawl (but not actually disconnect) while the cabled PC works wonderfully

tv and movies depicted instant messaging in a way that seemed like the recipient saw each letter being typed by the sender in real time.

from pre-AOL to now, i've never seen such a thing in the real world.

did i miss something? did an interface like this ever actually exist? if so, what was it called?

>Try to connect to the router via phone or another PC

I can't though. And when this happens there's no internet on my mobile devices as well, don't see how that would help. What's weird too is there's no indication to when it happens, windows shows I have internet, and all the router indicators work just fine.

as much as having a credit card is.
you'll get info collected on you wherever you use it. get rid of it and say " fuck credit" or just don't worry about it.
If you're doing something you don't want people to know about, of course you're not going to use it. but that's completely different.

Technical difficulties at the NSA.

i've seen it once

some site's customer service chat interface allows the service rep to see what you're typing before you press "send". not sure of the purpose though.

btw what does vagina mileage matter??

Definitely either your ISP is fucking up or your router is busted.
Reminder that if your ISP provided you the router most of the time they offer free replacements/assistance
How much has it been doing it for?

Nah I bought the router myself and it's been working for a couple of years now no issues. It happens randomly for no more than a minute at a time, just happened 10 times in a row.

youtube.com/watch?v=y3xZRy-9Rqc
mileage matters in the same sense that you don't want to drink from the same milk jug that 50 niggers drank from. how used is the car/pussy? if it's only 8 years old, but has 350k miles on it. i'm not buying that shit.

Might be getting too hot

>before this thing broke it worked perfectly
Unless you have a neighbor to ask for a router to test it there's no much more you can do

Would you buy a used mouse? I found g402 for $17.
No pictures available though. Will it be beaten and full of dorritos grease?

what's the best way to backup windows machine and & files (documents) to a nas ? system restore won't do the job i think, since the file versions are left up to date, just the system files get restored, right ? 3rd party tool like robocopy ? It's not for me, have to set it up for a friend of my boss. It has to regularly back up/copy let's say bookkeeping to the nas.

I bought my mouse used six years ago for 5 bucks
it's a moakuo gateway

Wipe it with a baby wipe or something

unless you're fucking her directly after 50 niggers cummed inside, it doesn't matter. she'll clean that shit out. the only things that matter are: diseases, child birth, and extreme fetishes like fisting.

Its finally new monitor time lads, and its gonna be a meme one. The only question is:

144hz gsync OR 1440p curved ultrawide

both are ~500$ at fry's at the moment

other monitor suggestions also welcome.

So you'd want a women that fucked 50 niggers to birth and raise your children

Does anybody know how to translate an iframe? Is there any alternative iframe option with javascript or something??

Can't you ask the guy for pics?
Either way most of them are really easy to disassemble and clean, even the insides.

in the right circumstances, sure.

It matters because it's pretty obvious that girl doesn't give a shit about stable relationship or responsibilities and will abandon you as soon as she feels like it

Use a third-party backup tool. As an example, Macrium Reflect Free works great. I use a pirated version for more features.

What you do is you tell the backup program to make a backup of the OS and whatever files you want and make it backup to the NAS. Schedule that shit, maybe use, differential imaging to cut size.

Look up features of the solution you want to use.
Important stuff is:

- ability to backup an OS while its running (via shadow copies or whatever)
- ability to create rescue media
- differential, or better, incremental imaging
- For work-related stuff: encryption

But it's ok because we're white.

Door mats that eat shit fuck it up for everyone else

consider this

>girl lives in poor, fundamentalist christian house
>parents very overprotective and she isn't allowed to go anywhere but school and church
>she turns 18 and leaves home
>due to her repressed sexuality she fucks lots and lots of guys
>this also gives her places to stay
>she does this for a few years and realizes that she's unhappy
>enters a stable relationship, gets financial aid for college and gets a degree

>becomes a lawyer, eventually leaves her boyfriend because he cheats on her
>you meet her at a bar and she's everything you want: beautiful, intelligent, successful
>you end up dating her

do you leave her in this instance?

i actually got caught the one time i did this as an adult and the manager bitch actually called the cops. so i bolted. went back the next day and paid in pennies, got my receipt told them to keep the cup/drink and then i asked for manager and said, there it's paid for.

women don't go to college and get grown up jobs what the fuck are you talking about

If i was sexually repressed i would fuck 1 person, not change partner more often than you change underwear.

god bless Cred Forums

Nice way to exemplify your hollywood-tier understanding of female sexuality, also blaming Christians.
You get what's coming to you

that's the point. if we new she was a slut, we could bypass her up front.
then after we invest so much time/money/emotions in her to learn she's not pristine when she portrayed herself to be pristine, we feel swindled.

also, the odometer would give chicks an incentive to keep the miles low.

10/10

but what does it matter if she was a slut years ago? she's changed now, and is ready to be faithful to her partner, and in fact was with her previous partner. what does "pristine" even mean? the skin cells that other penises touched died and were replaced long ago.

Anyone know why captcha works just fine in Opera but I get the bullshit illegible ones in SeaMonkey no matter how many times I reload them?

hate that podcasts are called podcasts.
named as if iPod is the only platform for these shows.
also, cast... nothing is casted in a podcast. by a loose definition, the link to the file may be broadcasted, but not the file/show itself.

>why u do dis?!

you ever hear the word cuck?

This made me kek 2 deth for some reason.

No, they don't care, the employees anyway.

They just want to put in their fill of time and go home.

But still, why not just buy the soda? Your mom sounds like a coupon clipper taken to obsessive levels. I'm sure she scoops up half the damn napkin rack and loads up her purse with ketchup packets too.

to some it may not matter.
she should be honest up front and not try to trick the dude.
if the dude is cool with it, then whatever... but if a guy prefers a non-slut, he should be able to know she's no slut.
but since bitches lie, odometer should be req'd.

Are there any Indian people on Cred Forums? How do they feel about the Pajeet jokes?

maybe because it's seeing a unknown user-agent and it's giving you extra hard stuff?
try changing to say Mozilla with a plugin or something.

I never did. Now when I go in, if I don't get a free soda from someone I know that still works there I ask for a large water and get a free soda anyway

UA reports as Firefox

if they are indians, but not pajeets they should agree with them.
just like if a black person isn't a nigger, they should stand up against niggers too.

t. highschooler
the term was coined by iTunes
next you'll bitch about shoutcasters

/int and /pol have people from india, they often namefag like: designated shitposting street
So they're not too upset

>Cuck, short for “cuckold,” is a term referring to a man with a female significant other who engages in sexual activities with other men

>female significant other who engages in sexual activities with other men

>engages

yes, if you ask her about her sexual history up front and she lies you have a good reason to be upset.

exactly! if it's not on itunes, it should not be called podcast. then again, none of them should have cast in the name.

user, you've reached new levels of autism. It's a portmanteau of iPod and broadcast because even though it's not actually being broadcasted it's essentially a radio talkshow broadcast for your iPod

need help Cred Forums, im in a class where we need to develop a web project using java and .net, the problem is we need to find a hosting that can support both, we were thinking on going with digitalocean but then we don't know what to do with the ".net" part (it's obligatory) what are good options? getting two hosting? use mono?

How hard would it be to set up a two-part authentication system for a computer that requires the user to be wearing a certain object and know the password? The object could be something like a ring or pendant with an embedded RF chip or something similar that just talks to a receiver on the computer, but how hard would the software be?

Asked this yesterday but I got no response. I'm looking to capture screenshots specifically from my PS3 and 360 through HDMI. Is there any cheap capture card that can manage this that doesn't require me to spend $170+ on an Elgato? I don't necessarily need video capture, I just want to screenshot stuff for fun. Or is this one of those situations where there's nothing that specific and I'm going to have to settle for an Elgato?

you are dumb lol

if ringPresent == true && passwordCorrect == true
then allowAccess
else println "fuck off"

Okay I have a computer with an internet access.

Computer - Switch - Router - Internet
No problem.

I have another Computer that I want to add to a seperate network.
Figured it was just as easy to plug them a network cable between them, but that wasn't the case.
They both find the network, but it is unidentified and as far as I've seen I haven't been able to change that.
Is there an easy way to force the computers to recognize eachother?

How would you go about creating the interface between the ring and the computer, and how would you integrate it into the built-in login system?

see pic. or integrate it with smartphone.

These fan cable splitters do not have any impact on how fast the fan spins, right? I got molex -> 3pin adapter powering one fan right now and would like to add another fan to it.

Why isn't there more 1440p laptops out there? I can only recall some Lenovo Yoga model that has it. Seems like everyone just goes with 1080p or 4k

Only gaming uses 1440p, every other part of tech industry is skipping it and going straight to 4k. Laptops are marketed to casuals and they tend to prefer 4k or Full HD because those are the terms heavily used by marketing.

its a portmantoe of "podular" and "broadcast"

Fixed it in an unsatisfactory way, but good enough.
Nevermind me.

What's the best, relatively inexpensive, VPN?

Why is it that if I max out my download speed I can still browse around, but if I max out my upload speed everything goes to shit?

the former is controlled by your software,
the latter is controlled by your ISP.

Aren't they both controlled by my ISP though?

your kernel downloads and uploads, and doesn't know that you have the option of one or the other like your ISP does. splitting a connection one way among programs is easy, splitting the bandwidth in your situation is hard.

Does webm for bakas have a feature to swap the audio tracks? It uses the first track by default and there isn't an option to use the second.

What for?

4k also displays 1080p content better than 1440p does.

It's also retarded as fuck for anything battery powered

I wanna connect this latitude 2120 with debian to the internet by connecting it to my thinkpad whos wireless actually works via an ethernet cable
halp

Just for basic downloading and browsing on a network that blocks certain sites. It also seems to block certain free VPNs, and the one it didn't block I already used to its cap.
Since I don't plan on doing anything illegal with it, would it be safe to pay with a personal credit card or should I get a throwaway card?

Agreed. I think the push to 4k is overwhelmingly a marketing thing and not worth the extra resources they consume in most situations. However the one technical argument for jumping straight from FHD to 4k is the perfect scaling. That actually makes a huge difference when you're trying to run something at lower than native resolutions on lcd.

Go with pia. They offer good alternative payment options and they're cheap. Never use free VPNs.

I'd be perfectly content with running shit at HD for stuff my machine can't handle at QHD

on videos, bitrate is all that matters.
on UI, that's software level vector handling. nothing to worry about.
it's a straight up meme.

what do you mean by this, a "CS" degree? or some proper science?

I moved into an apartment with a roommate
We are supplied internet via one Ethernet ports in each our rooms
I don't have a need for WiFi and I just use a desktop so I plugged my PC directly into the Ethernet port

Is this full dummy? To be clear, it goes PC -> wall, not PC -> router -> wall

Am I vulnerable to things this way? Should I go buy a router/and use Ethernet that way?

>implying I'm him
That's a reasonable assumption in the context.
>implying Windows has a functional CLI
It doesn't, but Powershell is a good babystep to a real CLI, until you install a putty shell or cygwin.
>implying sotfware should look like ass just because you can into CLI
If you care how shiney your software looks there is a fine community that you might like at reddit.com/r/unixporn

Also
>autist
Not an argument. When you call someone an autiste, you admit they are smarter then you.

You just downloaded the update KBTHXDOC you just need to revert that
For reals tho, your GPU might be acting up

>hurdurr I'm fine with everything looking like shit
Jesus Christ there's something wrong with you. Go see a neurologist.

Actually running native resolution is important. If you set a 1080p screen to something like 1360x768 to relieve stress on your GPU, your screen will look like shit compared to one that's built for that resolution. This was not so with CRT monitors.

Thats what you mom told you about those boys that bullied you in school?

ICQ had this for years. You would see what they type as they were, including correcting etc

Indeed.
>Thats what you mom told you about those boys that bullied you in school?
No, that's she told you, Todd.

android scales UI accordingly. Windows/other systems that let you 'set your screen resolution' instead of just setting a DPI are just a pile of shit.
again, doesn't matter for video.

Full blown autism. And I'm not saying you're smarter than me, I'm saying that your brain is fucking malfunctional.

Post your desktop with this thread open in the next minute or your argument will be invalidated.

>Full blown autism.
>And I'm not saying you're smarter than me, I'm saying that your brain is fucking malfunctional.
That is a contradiction in terms, because an autistic brain is FULLY functional. Far beyond the level of a normie brain.

>Post your desktop with this thread open in the next minute or your argument will be invalidated.

>m-muh semantics
Autism.

And because an autistic brain is FULLY functional. Far beyond the level of a normie brain, you admit (for the third time) defeat in this argument.

Autism.

>Am I vulnerable to things this way? Should I go buy a router/and use Ethernet that way?
Yes and yes.

What are some good apps to have?

Indeed. I'm glad you can cede to the neurologically superior. When the revolution strikes, we will enslave you last.

People with fully functional minds are capable of sitting still and being silent, you autist.

What kind of intrusions am I vulnerable to

Could a bank login be compromised

JPEGview is pretty cool, better than irfanview even, the only thing I miss is using the mouse wheel to browse through pictures in the same folder, but its okay thanks guys.

>But if the overall system resolution. You are correct that the android UI scales and therefore the UI itself obviously wouldn't have that problem unless somebody tampered with the output resolution.

NO YOU FUCKING MORON.

Does connecting to a VPN negate an ISP attempts to throttle p2p connections?

>What kind of intrusions am I vulnerable to
Someone could guess your password with a bruteforce attack just like they got the Hilldawg, and while you can improve your encryption and take steps to change your routers password every month (you do change your router's password every month, right?) it's still an unnecessary risk, when it can be completely eliminated with a simple cheap cable.

>Could a bank login be compromised
Absolutely. They could mimic your router, and give your laptop a fake signal to a fake bank site identical to your real one, that accepts you password and gives you a "This site is under maintenence at the moment" alert.

I'm honestly too tired to identify on what level I'm being fucked with. I edited my comment wrong. My point is correct though. Feel free to reply without quoting.

So you ARE plugging in direct with ethernet cable? You're fine then.

I'm just saying that's the same whether it's higher or lower rez video, games, or the overall system resolution. You are correct that the android UI scales and therefore the UI itself obviously wouldn't have that problem.

I don't understand why you have to be such a bitch about it though.

But the other user said I'm vulnerable and need a router ??

>But the other user said I'm vulnerable and need a router ??
Which user? I think I misunderstood you, and was going on to explain why you should NOT use a router.

My CPU fan has been acting weird lately, when I start my computer it runs normally, but during the course of an hour or two it slows down (once it even "reached" 0RPM, although the fan was still running irl). Also, the CPU temperature sometimes reaches 100°C, but when I touch the case (near the region where the CPU socket is located) it doesn't feel very hot (and I have never experimented with overclocking before, so I suppose the CPU would shut down before reaching such a high temperature, right?)

I am starting to wonder whether the problem lies not in my CPU fan, but on the BIOS/software I am using to measure/read the cou fan speed/cpu core temperature
would such a thing even be possible? How could I find out for sure? And how could I fix it?

Oh, and I started to have problems with my CPU fan a while after one of the Windows 10 updates, could that be somehow related?

any help would be appreciated, if you need clarifications or more information, don't hesitate to ask

Yeah a router is not going to make your technology more secure. It's just another point of failure in the chain of command. Unless you have more then one device you want using the same legal IP, then there's really no point.

You literally told me to buy a router

Ok, so you are connected to a router somewhere. That's a fact. The question is how many other people are on that same network with you, and thus have elevated access to your shit. If you aren't comfortable with that you can insert your own router into the line to provide you with a hardware firewall, at the cost of some latency in your connection and your nat type being closed.

Copy and paste this into the body of your email/comment and hit send.


Dear Senator,

Hello- it's recently come to my attention that at the start of October, President Obama plans to pass control over the internet from the United States to ICANN, and that ICANN will transition into a globally owned entity. This has extreme implications about our first amendment and I believe will jeopardize the ability of internet users to download, upload, and share material in a free way. If any nations hostile to the American constitution were to acquire a sizable share in ICANN, they would undoubtedly start to impose censorship laws on certain materials and websites. This is a concern to anybody who values free speech and transfer of ideas, so please vote against this.

How the hell do display crashes even work? Why does the audio sometimes get distorted when it happens?

no. but clearing out your browser's folder beyond just clearing the cache will help a lot. I would delete/move the whole thing and move back what you can make out that you need, like bookmarks.

>is there a software i can use to monitor my core voltage while running something like prime95?
>how can i assure my mobo gets enough airflow if i get an AiO clc and mount it to the front of my case
>is there a site ehere i could see what kind of results other people have gotten with a specific cpu i.e. person 1 has his 6600k at 4.5ghz with 1.2v and person 2 has his 6600k at 4.8ghz with 1.5v and stuff like that
>how important is the mobo in this? I have a cheapass 100€ z series board and i am really concerned about this since i couldn't find any documentation of its power delivery.

No

How do I get bash to assign the input wildcard to a corresponding output wildcard. For example in ffmpeg I'm trying to get a frame from each of multiple videos in a directory and have that image labeled with the name of the video.

ffmpeg -i *.wmv -ss 00:00:10 -vframes 1 *.png

Something that will give the .png a unique name corresponding to the video.

there are too many things that could go wrong to rank them too well.
Find a manufacturer that has good firmware and reliability and go with that.

Personally, I would prioritize size, or just general ability to be hidden. Not that I'm into that sort of thing.

name them incrementally, I would guess.
It would be simpler to just input two files of filenames.

Every one in 10 boots my computer will get stuck on the motherboard brand screen that shows before windows loads. It stays at this screen for a good 10 seconds then gives out a long beeeeeeeep before booting as normal. Is this bad? Is some part of my hardware dieing?

probably some integrity check or other. Should be mentioned in BIOS.

Are there any small cameras that i could plug into my phone? TLDR someone at work is making loads of BS claims about me and im going to record everything i do to prove hes bullshitting.

Are there any decent Windows laptops that come in 16:10? 16:9 just looks retarded to me after having used a Macbook Pro for 5 years

nope. slow and repetitive is the only way.

I'm on Arch and my screen goes black after 10 minutes. If I leave it for a few more minutes, it doesn't come back on at all no matter what I click and I have to exit X. What could be wrong?

there's a toughbook, cz730 or something. It's mainly sold in japan, though, so it's tough to find where to snag it on panasonic's website.

Whenever I shut my Windows 8 laptop, it disconnects from the internet. When I open it up again, it's still disconnected, and it says there are connections available. But when I click to connect, it says there AREN'T any connections available (and then sometimes if I check the settings, it'll say I'm already connected). I have to wait a few minutes, then it'll reconnect automatically.
Is there anything I can do to fix it? It's really annoying.

check logs.
/var/log/
systemctl status [login manager name here]

it happens only on certain connections for me, so your router settings could play in.
But I don't really know. I would also like an answer.

power settings, advanced, do not let it disable the wireless card to save energy.
If that doesn't help try disabling fast boot or fast start or whatever the fuck that was called. In system, not bios. I've seen it do exactly what you describe.
I assume you already tried reinstalling driver.

thanks

can someone please explain to me what subnetting is and how it works?

From what I understand now, it's something like
>Have IP 192.168.4.0 with subnet mask of 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
>Only 253 available IPs
>If I subnet 192.168.4.0 to 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000
>I now have 4 subnetworks, each with their own 253 IPs

but my book doesn't make it seem that way.

It makes it seem like the IP 192.168.4.0 is just divided up into parcels of host IDs, and that only the host IDs in the designated range can communicate with each other

Yeah, I noticed it started happening when I switched ISPs and got a new router.

So my hard drive crashed and I didn't have an image of windows saved. I had a dell desktop and upgraded parts over time. I called dell and asked what I could do. They told me the product key for windows 8 is embedded in the motherboard software. I don't have a compatible processor for that motherboard. Is there anyway I can get the product key?

Xorg logs show "config/udev: Adding input device Acer BMA150 accelerometer (/dev/input/event6)" and does it again with js0 instead of event6; "No input driver specified, ignoring this device."; "This device may have been added with another device file." then a bunch of lines of
Option "fd" "15"
Option "fd" "18", etc., then "UnloadModule libinput" repeated after every line of "systemd-logind: releasing fd for 13:69" (or 13:72/whatever).

Is this the wrong place? I don't see that option anywhere.

is there any way to reclaim space on my SSD without doing a full defrag?
I scanned it out of curiosity and it's like 85% fragmented, you could probably squeeze several gigabytes out of that but the way I understand it it'll seriously reduce the lifespan of the drive

>ssd
>fragmentation

Not saying it's 100% it, it's just that i've seen this option cause exact problem before.

How were you using it without a CPU?

Anyway, if you can get it working, there's utility called "Read Write Everything" or RW everything. There's a guide how to read key from bios. Pretty straight forward.

Is anyone able to answer my question here?

Why specifically do people use Vim/Emacs when SublimeText/Notpad++/etc. exist? Not trolling, just wondering if I should switch.

My ethernet port isn't working, I tried a different cable but no change. Wouldn't be a big deal but I play csgo at a semi-pro level. I'm on University Wi-Fi rn and at like 10pm on school nights, I'll be rubberbanding across the map. Will be 30 ping but every 5 seconds it'll jump up to 300 for a second or two. I updated the ethernet driver too. Will installing a chipset driver help at all? Is that the same as motherboard? I plug the cable in and in Network center it says nothing is plugged into the port.

So my system's only got 512MiB RAM. Would moving the page file to a microSD card be beneficial? The card's only got half the sequential r/w speeds of the HDD but the random r/w is 6x faster

how am I supposed use my 128 gb microsd on my android phone.
When I format it under windows as exfat(only option besides ntfs) it asks me to install drivers for it. Thing is I disabled google services and to install it requires me to login google. When I plug it as a raw disk so phone can find what works for it, It stays corrupt. I tried both gpt and mbr. Also I don't have root.

If I want to be able to play games like Fallout 4, Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity and GTA V at medium/high @1080, would the RX 460 be the best card for me?

I'm looking to run Crossfire 2 r9 Fury cards. I looked at a few different websites. some say my 850W is enough, others say it isn't. Can I get a clear answer?

lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-49UH650V
49" version of both.
I don't give a shit about the "smart" functions.
As far as I can tell the LG is better because it has a 100Hz panel (yes, that's the actual refresh rate, not interpolation bullshit, and it's divisible by 50 and not 60 because of Europoor)

>Fallout 4, Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity and GTA V

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but oh well. Is it possible to "re-master" something like a concert that's 360p or 480p to look better in after effects, premiere or anything else with non-professional knowledge?

but I can't use that as a server

I'm not ready to go balls dip and hop off the wincuck train entirely, but i'm thinking I need to try the desktop version of this first if I want to have any clue how to run a remote/headless machine

Think of it like this - the file size is determined (normally) by how much information is stored within it. The reason a smaller 1080p video looks worse than a larger one is the larger one (usually) has more colour and sound information than the smaller one.

Your 360p file just doesn't have that information stored in it, that's why it's a smaller resolution and looks like shit. There is no way to make it look "better" unless you consider running a sharpen filter or something to be "better" looking.

Is it possible to make a story-driven boss-rush FPS in Unreal Engine 2?

Yeah dude just enhance it

I got a moto g phone with a new sd card. When I put it in it said something along the lines of "this memory card may be too slow".

Hey Cred Forums
Stupid question for overclocking cpu
So basically what I want to do is start with a voltage, like 1.1, then raise my multiplier until it fails right?
Then when it fails, I raise my voltage.
I rinse and repeat until I got to the clocks I want at a certain temp right?

So for the most part, I ONLY raise my voltage until my overclock fails?
Also what increments should I raise my voltage? .01 volt?

I've been trying to get the anniversary update for Windows 10 to install for fucking ever now because I want bash, but it /won't fucking do it/

You probably already found that when you googled the problem though

I have an Xfinity modem/router combo thing. I have an old router that handles 5GHz so it's about on par with the Xfinity one. My question is, can I use it to boost the wireless signal strength? Maybe the performance too? Although I'm sure that'll actually go down if anything.

assuming the port can put out enough amps, no, the fans should spin the same speed

im an idiot and i want a easy linux distro, so i made a partion with aoemi, and it says make bootable media can i possibly make that a linux boot up instead of getting a usb and doing this whole iso thing.

I logged in to an old email account and found a strange message. Apparently someone tried to reset my fitbit.com password twice in the past 24 hours (I don't even remember making an account on this website). I assumed it was a phishing attempt, but maybe I did make an account and just forgot about it.

So I checked "have I been pwned", and apparently 3 accounts made with this email have been leaked (dropbox, neopets? patreon? don't remember those two). This email is old, and I know that I made neopets accounts in the past, but I don't remember using this email address. When I searched my email account I found no messages from either neopets or patreon. When I go to patreon.com and say "forgot password", it doesn't even recognize my email address.

The only thing I can think of to explain this is an error on the part of haveIbeenpwned. There must have been a paste that contained dropbox accounts, neopets accounts, and patreon accounts, and somehow I got lumped in with all of them.

Anyways, what do you thing is going on, and how worried should I be? I know I re-used passwords in the past, but I have no fucking idea on what websites and with which passwords (they were never simple, but I'm still using variations of one of them to this day).

I'm chatting to some person in a web chat. They speak Spanish, I speak English.

Instead of typing my responses into google translate, copying the translated text, and pasting it into the chat, is there a quicker way to go about this?

It would be nice if there is a chrome extension where you can just highlight your text and it will automatically translate it.

i have no idea what you just wrote

Are you for real?

Yes. I searched chrome extensions and I found one that lets you highlight text and view the translation but not one that will actually change your text.

let me snip it for you, can i possibly use aoei for my advantage so im a poor fag who cant afford a usb drive right now to get linux, or do i need a usb drive

chrome has that shit BUILT IN

you can use a VM with a real disk attached to it
can be risky if you have no clue what you're doing (but so can a normal OS install)

it would even be possible for me to help you directly over teamviewer or something, though a stranger from Cred Forums might not scream "safe" either

Are you sure? The language section does not have much options.

i really wanted a separate boot up instead of using vm

yes, what you do is you attach a real, physical disk to a VM, and install through the VM to the physical disk
when it's done, the OS is on the physical disk, just like a normal install, you don't need the VM anymore

Put laptop on something that won't choke cooling air. So don't put it on your bed/blanket etc. Clean out the heatsink by spraying compressed air into it until no more dust is coming out. Make sure you're not running anything cpu intensive by checking your task manager.

can you tell me step by step how to do this

or atleast a youtube video

1. create a space or partition in which you want to install linux, ensure it's unmounted from in windows
2. install virtualbox
3. create vmdks pointing to relevant disks with vboxmanage
4. create a VM with those vmdks attached
5. install linux in the VM
6. ???
