Yes?

I haven't checked with my ISP yet, but in my network only my PC is having these problems apparently. Pages randomly timing out and loading real slow.
I don't see anything suspicious in TcpView, but then I don't know what to look for.

Not taking no for an answer.

Should I give up on life? How can I possibly recover?

I changed security configurations on my router.
Disabled WAP and TKIP (WEP was already disabled), disabled WPS, and will change my password to the maximum size allowed. So now I have WPA2 with AES. Anything more I should worry about the Wi-Fi security?

Keep at it

Then you're botnetted.

> I haven't checked with my ISP yet, but in my network only my PC is having these problems apparently. Pages randomly timing out and loading real slow.
Alright, where and how did you download Wangblows 7?

You didn't just use a torrent, did you?

Also, it might just be a problem with hardware. Try using a wireless dongle or something.

> I don't see anything suspicious in TcpView, but then I don't know what to look for.
Check your logs, they may have some suspicious activity.

> Can true AI exist?
Maybe.

> And if Skynet happens do we just yell improbabilitys at them until they kill themselves?
Properly programmed AIs will contain contingencies in case a Skynet type of thing happens.

>You didn't just use a torrent, did you?
What is the problem in this case?

Somebody may have put botnet into the .iso, meaning you're botnet by default.

So I've been looking at earplugs and I've seen a lot of these things where they're advertised as "noise reducers" where they just lower Db with loud things like music but keep conversations repetitively similar to normal. Are they legitimate? If so, does anyone know what the best ones are?

How can I make an .img or of an improperly (or esoterically) formatted floppy disk? I can get a hexdump of it with HxD but the usual dd method of making .imgs just keeps saying "dd: error reading '/dev/fd0': Permission denied".

Do my settings here actually do a fucking thing to keep my ISP and others from being able to see what I'm doing? I'm poor, so I don't want to have to shill out for a VPN with the rare downloading I do. I mostly just download anime and the occasional game that's been out for at least a year

>Why get a CRT? Why not a comparable IPS?
Because while IPS is good at colors, a good CRT beats it hands down on blacks, response times, and looking equally good any any resolution.

Thats it.

Not sure if this belongs here but I didn't want to start a thread for this so fuck it.
I'm looking for a new phone but I don't know shit about them, I used to have an Iphone 5c but it just stopped working, so I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I can pay up to 400 dollars and i'm really just looking for a nice looking phone with a nice screen and a decent camera.

I've had malware twice in the past week and I suspect it's because of Hola. Because the extension got corrupt both times I ran JRT (and the malware stopped). I only use it max 5min per day, so I wasn't worried about the other issues surrounding the add-on. Any suggestions on what do to? Worst case scenario I'm gonna have to deal with it. Other proxy add-ons don't seem as simple (and useful).

Adwcleaner then Malwarebytes.

You installed adware, that should fix it.
Hola is literal botnet in all the meaning of the word btw.

You have 3 choices:
Doing actual legitimate work. Take jobs on freelance sites and do reasonably good work on them.
Not making a lot of money. Do those shitty surveys and offers and installing adware they'll pay you pissant amounts for.
Taking a significant risk. Do illegal things like selling drugs or cybercrime.

I also forgot to add but I started looking at some phones and I saw the galaxe A5s not sure if that one is any good

I ran all those both times and only JRT (found and) removed the actual files.

I know about that, but since I only ran it a few min a day, I wasn't too worried about it. I'm mostly just wondering if there are any other free good alternatives or if I'm gonna have to download, use it for 5min and then delete it.

>how can i make a skylake compatible windows 7 usb for installing / a windows 8.1 one on a mac?
Whoa slow down there, captain. That sentence looks like it went through a blender somewhere between you thinking of it and typing it. Take your time. There's no hurry.

I think he wants to install windows in a mac.

This pair of speakers has a bent wire on one of the cords, I can't really explain it well but it's kinda like a smaller coaxial if that make sense. Does anyone know what the wire is called?

A few ideas:
7zip the files, them copy the archive over.
Use NTFS for the destination drive, and don't put your folders into folders with longer paths than they're coming from. FAT32 sucks.
Rename the files.
Use Linux to move them, it doesn't suffer from the same short name length limits, even when operating on NTFS. You'll probably need to use Linux to read them back too.

My PC is connected to my modem (Arris DG1670A) directly via ethernet.

When I ping the modem, the time is usually always over 1ms, which is very strange, because when I ping local devices which are connected to the modem through wifi, the time is usually 1ms or less. How is that possible?

>buy mother a laptop/tablet thing for her birthday

That's your applications list. It's not pointless, it's how you get at any program that doesn't happen to be pinned at the right.

So here's my question, for the smartphone (since there is no smartphone general right now).
I have added along with music a french audio course, but even if not in the music folder it was picked up anyway, which means that if I shuffle the music it will start to appear, how do I avoid that?

From the start menu search, write "start" and you will see the option "start settings", change those. Or manually click on all of those and either uninstall them or tell it to not show them in the menu.

why would I not just keybind everything or use a windows equivalent to dmenu? having all the folders ruins the whole aesthetic of the start menu

Find a music player app that lets you choose what to shuffle, instead of blindly shuffling everything on the phone. Either do it by folder, or put everything else into a massive playlist you shuffle.

Does chronium have that insane session save interval? I seriously don't want to destroy my ssd but I'm getting tired of Firefox (already edited the registry file).

>or put everything else into a massive playlist you shuffle
I feared I would had to do as much.
The program says that I can hide files and find them with a filter setting though, I just cant find this filter.

How do i bypass/download file from uptobox or whatever it is that needed to be a premium user for download it?

This IS the menu with everything in it. You can keybind the ones you use most, but you still have a (sadly not really hierarchical) menu to browse the rest. Or start typing the name of a thing and it will search.

Or if you want a more useful menu, check out Classic Shell. (Only install the start menu portion of it.)

that's it.

o wait, nevermind, I can indeed tell it which folders not to scan, I guess I will have to install another player though just for these, which bugs me because being a phone it means another app that just wont stay shut and that will require updates.

A 3570k can still keep up but it depends on how much you could get it for.

cheaper than 6500

Everything gets reduced by the same dB, the difference compared to normal earplugs is they intentionally let more high frequency through so music can sound less shit.

Modern laptop CPUs are aiming to keep within temperature and power targets, the speed will jump around as required. 2.3 is what intel says it'll do all the time even if you give it a hard sustained load with cooling that barely meets their recommendations, it's allowed to go up to 2.8 for short periods of time if it's not too warm.

For running fallout 4, what's your GPU? That's much more important.

I'm going to school for infosec & computer forensics. We use a lot of virtual machines. I have about $900 in extra money I didn't expect to have for "school related expenses" which I plan on putting toward a new desktop for school.

From what I understand, virtual machines benefit most from processing power and RAM. What else should I look for in a build? I've put together a few builds on pcpartpicker but including a 1060 I'm at about $1050 without a SSD but with a monitor (I'd like two, I have zero). Any build suggestions?

Related, I've been taking notes by hand in class during lectures. Half the students have laptops. While I have a laptop it is not portable at all (Asus g75vw). Should I ditch the desktop idea and invest in a laptop? I kind of like writing notes but my shorthand fucking sucks.

I have a small issue with my pc.

It doesn't want start if its been used shortly before shut down. This makes sleep mode unusable and its not possible to change some of the bios settings as the pc wont reboot after the changes. Only way to start the pc is to do a cold start. Also when I get it running, it runs just fine.

So I was wondering is it the motherboard or the psu thats dying?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

fucking Intel HD something something.
Im thinking about building a computer when shit hopefully goes cheap cyber monday- at least.

Are games multithreaded enough to warrant building a new computer around a 6-8 core CPU, or is it still worth just getting a faster quad?

Not really. Even a quad core is rarely utilized well, last I heard.

What's the recommended VNC program for Windows?

Considering the built-in DVD Mount option in Windows 10, is there any reason to download Alcolhol 120%, PowerISO, DaemonTools and the like? Has it become obsolete?

Actually, you're better off on Black Friday. There is a common misconception about Cyber Monday; Don't let the word "cyber" fool you. The "cyber monday" name comes from online shopping, and mostly clothing. Ofcourse there could be some discounts in the hardware departments too, but don't skip black friday because of cyber monday, because Black Friday is where it's at.

First, you should decide if you want a desktop or a laptop. Make a pro/con list. Talk to upperclassmen.

>What else should I look for in a build?
There are certain features some CPU's have that can be beneficial for virtualization. One I know is VT-d, which basically allows a virtual machine to more directly access a CPU's resources. I also know these features are offered only on non-K CPU's (CPU's that cannot overclock). You didn't mention gaming, so I'm going to assume you don't do any, in which case you don't need a dedicated GPU. Depending on how many you have, virtual machines can take up lots of disk space, but definitely talk to your professors and other students to get a better idea. Also consider buying a monitor used or at least refurbished, to save some money.

tl;dr ask your professor

What's the most common laptop size?
I'm asking because I want to buy a backpack and a laptop together, but I will most likely upgrade in the future.
Is 15" okay or is it too small?

I'm assuming this is a desktop?
I don't really know enough to solve anything right now.
What do you mean by "it's been used shortly before shutdown"? How long before, and what kind of tasks?
What OS do you have?
What parts do you have?
Did you do any big changes or installs around the time the issue started?

I'll chat one up tomorrow when I go in but I'm leaning toward desktop as I will be doing some courses from home and the IT lab computers are actually pretty powerful.

>VT-d
I'm unfamiliar but I will look into this, it will be the first feature I've seen that non-K CPUs have over overclockable CPUs.

>gaming
I am a pretty light gamer especially since I've started going back to school. That said I do like games though, 60 fps in DayZ would be nice.

>virtual machines can take up lots of disk space
I brought this up with my professor and he suggested a minimum of 16gb of RAM, 32gb would be optimal. With that said does speed of RAM come into effect at all or is it just snake oil? RAM can be overclocked too, why not just do that?

I'll definitely check out refurbished monitors. 1 is certainly not enough.

Are there any good Android apps for recording videos in the dark? I'm thinking of reusing an old Android phone as a sort of security camera.

>for recording videos in the dark?
That entirely depends on the quality of the camera.
Smartphones are usually shit at recording in the dark.

pls respond

Not him, but about the RAM, as far as capacity goes, you just need "enough". For speed, I have noticed a difference when upgrading from slow RAM (666MHz at the time) to fast RAM (1333MHz at the time). Now I have 16GB@2000MHz and it's more than enough for my use (occasional VirtualBox session, games and a TS3 and CSGO server).

15" is okay, but now I realize I should have spent that extra money on 1080p instead of this cumbersome small-ass 720p.

Can you zip files twice? As in, make a zip file, save it to desktop, what then if I want to put this file inside another zip file? Will I gain any space?

>I'm assuming this is a desktop?
yes it is a desktop
>What do you mean by "it's been used shortly before shutdown"? How long before, and what kind of tasks?
what I meant was that if I power down the pc after doing something that puts load on the system and try to power it up again it wont start. Nothing happens. This also happens if I try to wake the system from sleep mode. This does not happen if I let it be for awhile and then power up.
>What OS do you have?
Windows 10
>What parts do you have?
i7 6800k
GTX 1080
32 gb ram
Gigabyte x99 ultra-gaming
Samsung 850 evo

>Did you do any big changes or installs around the time the issue started?
No, I didn't do anything major just found that pc had gone to sleep and wouldn't turn on with power button or keyboard.

The main issue is that when I press the power button and the pc is turn off or in sleep mode, the pc wont start the aio cooler led just turns on, norhing else happens.

It's possible, but the effect gets exponentially smaller each time (if any).

I'm not looking for anything flash. I have an old Moto G from its meme days, and I all I wanted to do was repurpose it for something useful.

How do I do it? When I select a zip file it offers me no option to zip it again.

Also I forgot to mention it has 1.5GB of RAM now

How? Even with winrar I can't figure it out.

well one of the first things I tried was to clear cmos and load default values to the bios. Also I tried another gpu, one that doesn't need extra power connectors.

>Try it with only the system disk connected to rule out the HDDs.
I will try this also I'm gonna test another psu just to rule it out.

Anyone know of some Cred Forums/2ch like software you can host yourself? I used to know a few but i forgot their names and havent written them down.

I know, i know, I just expected someone to mention a few from the top of their head that's all.

If you wanna look for RAM issues, you can run MemTest86 for 8 hours overnight. You usually have some reliable results after 8 hours.

Like pic related

I wouldn't really worry... You stopped it, it was only for a single school day.

You MIGHT get a call about it, asking why a DoS was traced to your IP or some such. You just explain you wrote a script that got linked to the school on accident which is the truth.

no wait, you have to do "Add to archive..." both times, select "Best" compression and make a new name. Or else I think you're simply adding the file to the existing archive. Not 100% tho.

No because the files are already compressed, the re-zipped files would probably be larger in size because of any metadata associated with the new zip.

pcpartpicker.com/list/Qwnb2R Any thoughts on this build? Friend started out wanting to go full-retard $3,500 build, started to see reason and got it down in price a bit. The case and the keyboard I'm just linking him to give him an idea on pricing, then letting him choose his own hideous riced out bullshit.

Thanks, I used winzip and winrar and saved just abit, didn't really help much.
Related question, sort of.
How do search for files in the folders of an archive? Yes, I could unpack it, but it's a big archive (200gb), it would take me way too long. I can only search for files in the same folder that I'm in, but not in the subfolders. Is it possible?

I've tried this one. It works pretty well. But I was hoping for something a little more FOSS, or at least available on F-Droid.

Seems fine, at that price point you could go for a better cooler for better overclock potential
AS 5 also isn't the top paste, maybe use gelid gc-extreme or prolimatech pk-3

There usually is a "include search in contents of files" option for search stuff on operating systems. Look for something like that? I don't know tho

Are they are runny? AS5 has always been my go-to because it works and it's easy, but if there's something that works better and is as easy, sure, lets do that.

They're both pretty paste-y and supposed to not be electrically conductive

For work related reasons I had to get a computer with a legit copy of windows 7. The only version available to me was professional, which I figured wouldn't be a problem.

I have one issue though. Due to work (and personal preference, really) my windows is in German. However, some programs I prefer to use in English, but apparently due to not having those language packs available for installation (because windows 7 professional doesn't have that), some of those programs will pull lots of stuff from windows and will not be fully in English. Atleast that's what I figure the problem is, based on some programs I've installed, such as CDisplayEX. correct me if I'm wrong please.

What's an easy method to fix this? I saw that there's a program around that lets you install language packs called Vistalizator, but people warn that it's against windows EULA and I don't know what there is to that.
What's my best course of action here? It's not 100% urgent, so if there's no fix I'll take it, but it is pretty annoying.

yesterday i tried rooting my Nexus 5X

pretty sure you're right

install gnu/linux, you will have no problems with shitty android drivers

well maybe I should clarify, I do have the option to reinstall in English but I want and need my OS to be in German.

If you're right however, how do I install an english language pack? When I go to the microsoft windows page for it, it says you get it through windows update, but windows update on w7 professional doesn't seem to install language packs.

also if it just leave it unlocked are there some downsides to that?

i didnt have warranty anyways so thats not a problem

I've been scratching my head for fucking hours on this one.
Whenever I copy a folder from a HFS drive to an exFat drive, it gains usually 30% of its original size.
All the original files are the same size though, something I can't see, ls -a be damned, is taking up a tonne of space.
rsync, cp, even standard finder copy pulls this shit.
A folder that was originally 16GB is now talking up 220GB. It's full of smaller folders, so I think that may have something to do with it.
I've done this on folders I know do not have sparse files in them, so I'm clueless.
Pic related. All the same folder.

Also, copying back to HFS shrinks the files again.

It should be under optional installs.

Now I've tried virgin files.
I am fucking confused.

There isn't currently a smartphone general, I'll try my luck here.

I bought a Huawei P9 Lite and I love it, but I don't think I'm getting as much as I can out of the camera right now. This is a picture I took at the weekend and I feel like it looks like there's a coat of Vaseline on the lens. Am I being picky or does it look that way? Are there any recommendations you could make for better pictures?

Optional windows updates in the control panel, is that what you mean? I checked those and there's nothing language related among them.

Are there any powerbanks or other solutions to charge an Acer C720 without a power outlet?

Literally an empty folder in an empty folder.
1.8 fucking megabytes. 16k originally.
On a (exFat) disk formatted by a mac.

weather on the watch isnt updating for 4-5 days at a times.the weather app that its tied to does update on the phone, however.

whats the issue?

Just need a 19 volt battery pack

I've been using arch for a few years. Just reinstalled W10 on a new computer. Realized I have no clue how to build from source on windows.

It's so easy on Linux. Do I /need/ a third party program to compile?

Somewhat related, if so, WHY?

Or just open them with your file explorer

Windows 10 got updated by itself and now Chrome keeps freezing. What do?

what exactly is an api? i have an idea but im not totally sure

When I'm using gallery mode on Cred Forums X and I go through the pics, the page doesn't scroll down after I exit gallery.
I'm using Chromium with Tampermonkey and the latest X.

Hello Cred Forums,

I am thinking about building a PC for my gaming hobby. I was hoping to build something I could put near my desk and run to desktop monitor, but also connects to my TV which is about 25 feet away? Does it make the most sense to buy a really long hdmi, or something like pic related?

Thanks for your consideration.

How do I activate pirated Windows 7?

Hello, it's possible that two or more computers or other devices are connected to the same modem with different standard of 802.11 ???,..for example two different computers connected at the same modem, but the first is connected with 802.11 b and the second with 802.11 g ??..and why?

What is the quietest GTX 1070?

What would it take to prevent hacking in online games?
I don't mean s specific game but how do anti-hack software built in certain online games work?

I've had the same malware 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Any ideas where it comes from or how to stop them? Pic related.

Dude. Just no. Use daz loader for windows 7.

I have too much memory I don't wanna get rid off and not enough HDD's. That's on my SSD that also has my OS. Too much of a hassle.

There has to be a better way to say that. Are you saying you don't have room to back up your SSD somewhere else?

what is a decent laptop for mild gaming? Not "I need to shove a 1080 for muh gamun" but something in the middle ground and with easy internals to upgrade. I have heard the new razer blade is good.

I recently started using Ungoogled Chromium. The spellcheck doesn't work (enabled it manually, comes disabled by default), the cookie management works sometimes only, can't make it my default browser, among other tiny inconveniencies. What gives? Is this just the nature of forks? I can't go back to FF now, this shit is ridiculously fast compared to it. Am I going to have to succumb to the Chrome botnet and get it over with?

>laptop
>easy to upgrade
Pick one.

I'm saying not a hassle for the ram and or storage.

Yes, sorry I typed that in a rush. All my HDD's are full.

Again, laptop. Get whatever upgrades you want when you're buying the laptop, and call it good.

I mean, there are guides to perma-remove malware, but they're a PITA, and they're not foolproof either. Really your best bet is to find some way of backing up and nuking your system partition, unless you can identify something you're exposing your computer to that might be manually reintroducing the malware on a regular basis.

Ah, I see. Thanks. I'll probably just try the latter and cross my fingers. What's the best free anti-malware program these days? Malwarebytes doesn't seem to even detect this one, so I had to manually run JRT.

Say I wanted to go full freetard à la Stallman: what would be my options when it comes to laptops?

What the fuck why are SSDs so expensive again what happened?
It costs $120 for a 120gb ssd now

what do you mean

Anybody have an Honor 7? I'm trying to downgrade from Android 6 (marshmallow?) to Lollipop, but not tech savvy enough to proceed, seeing all the warnings on websites

Thinkpads.
use the installgentoo wiki for a better guide

Which SSD?
850 EVO 250GB is $90.

I should avoid motherboards with E2200 Killer NIC right?

The fuck are you even talking about?

Strictly off of detection rates bitdefender. But there's no manual scan option

Can you replace a Linux distro installation on a dualboot system, without fucking everything up? Don't necessarily need to do this now, I'm just interested - I currently have a Debian/Win10 dualboot, but if I wanted to switch to say, Fedora or Arch in the future, can I do that without ruining the dualboot?

Yes

Is it very bad if my laptop goes up to 90ºC when making a game Unreal Engine 4?

I need a gopro knock off that isn't as expensive,going to be plainly used for when i go cycling,i don't need all the gimicks a go pro has
any recommendations?

Cool, thanks!

1440p worth it for gaming or should I get a 1080p 144hz monitor? Im planning on gettinf an gtx 1070. Ive searched around but mostly found conflicting results.

What should I look for in a laptop if I just want it for browsing and watching videos efficiently? (Madvr specifically)

I got an e-reader recently and it has a very fine scratch on the screen, which isn't a terrible issue except that the tip of the scratch causes the backlight to reflect off of it in a very distracting manner.

Is there a way I can get rid of the scratch carefuly?

>obsolete dinosaur resolution
>new crisp high resolution
gee i wonder

IPS panel, thats it.
Resolution maybe.

Also an acceptable CPU for it(which is anything since sandy bridge).

I was drawing in PS when suddenly pic related appeared. It's like some kind of blank window. I can resize it but I don't know how to close it and I can't find any process associated with it.

Any ideas?

Post task manager process list.

How the fuck do I extract the contact list from a blackberry 10 with a broken screen

the blackberry link software does not allow backing up the contact list and the synch function is broken

Anybody?

What kind of technology do analysts use?

I've managed to turn all windows 10 app icons invisible, I can't figure out what I did or how to undo it.

Google yielded no useful results.

I've tried running sfc /scannow, and I'm about to reboot to allow chkdsk /f to scan.

Is it worth it though. I have a 1080p now and im not sure its worth shelling out 700 dollars for 1440p with high a refresh rate. Not even sure Ill noticed a massive difference from display quality that will justify my expense.

taking advanced Java course and a mid term is coming up. java is one of my weaker languages and I'm a bit nervous for the coding part of the exam.

what do I do to prepare/not be so nervous?

Worth it to buy a console just for Cyberpunk 2077, Deus Ex MK, and the new Mass Effect?

I'm not so much a gamer anymore, and I'm having trouble making the decision. I don't want to buy a console for just a handful of games, but on the other hand, I wouldn't mind wasting some of my life again since I haven't done so in so long

i have a bunch of movies on my windows computer harddrive, whats the least painful way to watch them over the lan from my linux laptop?

put them on an external hard drive and plug it into your laptop

alternatively, put them on your laptop

no problem

>ask one question
>get an answer to another
feels like im on stack overflow

>i want to add in unnecessary steps to a simple task

i don't want you to stream that movie over your network user
you better watch it locally son

I know nothing about coding or programming or whatever but I want to get into it because computers are essential. Can someone point me in the right direction where a retard can start learning about this starting with simplified basics.
