What's the easiest way to transfer a large amount of files from one pc to another?

Both are Linux based, trying to move about 100 gigs.

I'm getting a new SSD and doing a fresh install of windows.

Should I use my new faster SSD for my OS or keep using my old SSD for my OS?

>>52235218
newer OS

>>52235228
Why would you say that? Is there less of a benefit from things like games using an SSD vs the OS as a whole?

Whatever one isn't used for the OS will likely be used for games and I'm guessing the newer one will also be bigger.

>>52235165
Crossover cable, scp

>>52235253
Tbh from personal experience your game might load slightly faster, that's it. There's no point. If you want to use the newer for games, sure

Which should I get?
>Vostro 5470 (i5 4th, 4GB, 500GB, 830M, 1.53Kg) base
>HP Pavilion 14 (i5 4th, 4GB, 500GB, 830M, 1.98Kg) -10% base
>HP Pavillion 14 (i7 4th 2C, 4GB, 1TB, 840M, 1,98Kg ) +18% base

My main concern is that I know HP had a lot of overheat problems in "old notebooks", and I don't if they fixed. For instance, Vostro has 2x blowers on back and HP only have one on left side. Thanks.

>>52235438
4GB of RAM is not enough in this year

Also I have a vendetta against HP so the Dell I guess. I really don't trust any of them

>>52235502
This probably isn't helpful, but it is just a widget part of the panel

>>52235460
I know it's not enough, but I can buy a new 8GB for less and install by myself.

Also, I mistyped. >>52235438

I have an idea for an app that seems like it would take a lot of work to create and maintain, but it's got a fairly straight forward revenue model. I personally don't have any of the technical skills required to start the thing.

What do? Do I go beg a bank for investment capital and hire a bunch of college kids to create it for me?

Got a ThinkPad off eBay a while back and it came with Windows 7. I wiped the drive and installed Ubuntu on it. Now I need Windows 7 again, but when I type the serial in Microsoft's site to download the ISO it tells me it's an OEM serial and I'm shit out of luck. If I get a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium elsewhere and use my real serial during activation would it work?

I built my first rig, bought an i5 4690 (non K) and a Hyper 212 EVO, right now I have one fan on it blowing air towards the back (exhaust) of the case. My temperatures reach 60C on max load which is well under the limit for the CPU but cooler is better and I recently bought a fan controller and already have more than enough spare 120 mm fans hanging around so I want to make use of my new toys.

What I'm wondering is seeing as how I have to manually control the fan myself (with the controller), what speed should I set the "pull" fan so that it doesn't encumber the fan already pushing? I can't imagine it would be good to have a second fan on there that doesn't spin fast enough and ends up stopping air from being pushed out.

Why are people so bothered by applications with "botnet" features? (Using the current /g/ definition of the term, not the actual one.)

I can understand if your privacy was being violated or if it hindered your experience in some way, but for example I saw people losing their shit about some Nintendo patent to use some distributed cloud computing scheme to make games run faster on a gaming console, as if this was some heinous crime. Where's the sense in that? Something I'm missing here, or is it just people trying too hard to apply memes every chance they get?

Why do some CDs/DVDs still freeze the computer in 2016?

I have an SSD, a haswell i7, 16gb of RAM and a R9 390

I installed Windows literally 3 days ago

but half of the CDs/DVDs I put into the computer make it freeze.
not like, just loading the CDs is slow or something, no, it freezes the actual computer in a way such that I almost can't click anything anymore

btw this mostly seems to be the case for copyright protected CDs

Sounds like it's forcing the whole system to wait on the I/O with your CD drive. Maybe some developer did this intentionally as some kind of security measure or something, I don't know. Try using a different app to play the CD if you can, might make a difference.

Huh, it might actually be a problem with the drive's firmware or something then, or maybe some DRM program that got installed in the background. I think I remember hearing about some particularly nasty old school DRM schemes doing this kind of thing in the past.

hi, /g/, the other day, the mouse that came with the living room computer died after a good 7 years of service. So I bought an ots mouse, thinking that there would be no problems left after that. However, now it won't work either. I've tried the mouse on other computers with no issue, and am now just cycling through resets by manually updating drivers through the device manager. Annoyingly enough, my logitech g700s works perfectly fine on the living room pc, but it's the only mouse I have for myself.

I'm using windows 10 on a very old lenovo tower.

I need to buy a replacement power adapter for my laptop but I'm a bit confused by what I need.

The website lists the power adapter as
>65W (19V x 3.42A) Auto-sensing ,100-240V/50-60Hz AC Adapter
But on the back of the laptop next to the serial number and other info it says
>DC 19V - 2.37A

So what am I looking for exactly? I dont have the previous power adapter so I can't easily replace it.

>>52238610

You can still rock DDR2 and play GTA V on high so there you go.

>>52238856

the adapter has a higher wattage than what your laptop needs. 3.42A is pretty much standard for most laptops so no worries there.

not even going to look at your shit but just know this - for laptop chargers, the amperage has to be equal to or greater than the recommended value, and the voltage has to be exactly the same, even half a volt off runs the risk of fucking your battery or motherboard

>>52239075
I might beef the cpu up a bit, not too sure, but the gpu is definitely fine

>>52238989

Yes, basically it goes like this:

Voltage x Amperage = Wattage

Available Wattage > Required Wattage = Good to go

Available Wattage < Required Wattage = Won't power up, can fuck up older batts.

Line Voltage =! Required Voltage = SHIT GETS FUCKED UP

I'm trying to keep the price as low as possible.

I'm mainly gonna use it for emulation and shit, since linux doesn't get too many triple A games. But if I could run those AAA games in WINE, that'd be rad.

He might not run it on wine or high settings but 4170s have pretty good single core perfomance and can handle as much as a 380/960.

Stop giving advice kid.

>inb4 retarded 1440p ultra benchmarks

>>52239172
Wrong. 4160 here, running recent titles (GTAV, FC4, MGSV, etc) with no problems and nowhere near CPU limited.

>>52239075
I think 4170s are going cheap-ish just now so see if you can bump it up to that for a little extra clock speed. The difference from 3.4 to 3.7 isn't huge though.

It doesn't matter if you torrent it or do via DDL. It's important that the file's legit and you can achieve that by comparing the checksum of the iso with the one on MS's page.

I'm not even going to throw an autistic fit over this.

Build, you can upgrade later. If you're planning to upgrade though you might want to get a beefier PSU. 550Ws shouldn't be that far away and will run a long way if you're not overclocking.

Also, why are you wasting $20 on a cooler for an i3? intel's stock is not *that* noisy and you definitely don't need extra cooling solutions for that CPU.

>>52239172

>he fell for the "you need an unlocked OC'd i5 with aftermarket cooler to run AAA games" meme
Guess what anon: Barring some very rare exceptions, games are still GPU limited at the resolutions and sync targets that 99% of people actually play at. And they are going to stay that way.

>>52239401
I've never built a PC with bought parts before desu.

I've built many PCs from junk yard, dumpster diving parts before, and they almost always have a CPU cooler, I just figured it was standard.

>>52239478

Most CPUs come with a stock cooler, save yourself the $20.

Do you plan to use that optical drive? you can drop it and spend the $35 you just saved on a better PSU that, with a little luck, will last you many builds.

Also, that's a cute case but there are cheaper.

Corsair air 240

>>52235086
I was playing with gparted and bcd editing in windows just to learn how it works and ran into a problem. Heres what I did.

-Installed W7 64 bits on a clean disk, then resized the main partition.
-Installed W7 32 bits on some of the remaining adjacent space.
-From the 64bit and first OS I installed EasyBCD, moved the boot manager and bcd list from both OSes to the current main partition C: and marked it as active, making it the new system partition, after this I deleted the remaining and now useless System Reserved 100mb partition.
-I rebooted and both OSes booted fine.
-I booted ubuntu from a live usb and with gparted resized the partition next to the initial free space containing the 64 bit OS and both OSes boot files so it occupied the free space before it.

Now, I tried booting again and for some reason the 32 bit OS installed on the unedited and now 2nd partition booted fine but the first 64 bit one with the edited partition wont boot.

My question is how comes the 2nd OS loads fine but the first doesnt? Boot files are where they should be and the mbr record appears to be pointing to the correct place seeing as I can boot the 2nd OS, just not the first.

I could just try running a startup repair and get it working but id like some insight on why that happened. I read many pages about the windows boot process and there shouldnt be a reason for one os booting but not the other, if both crapped Id think its a corrupt mbr but it seems it isnt. Or is it that windows has some sort of hash/check of its current partition and refuses to work by simply modifying it?

I was doing some casual benchmarking a few minutes ago when, after about half an hour of computing, I started to smell a thin yet distinctive smell of something burning.
Shut off the benchmark and cracked open my case. Can't see any signs of damage. The smell went away within minutes of the benchmark stopping, but I can't really tell where in the computer it was coming from.

Should I be concerned?

>>52238196

Check your cpu temp.You might need to reseat.
Check your gfx cards,make sure they dont have dust on,in them thats burning

>>52239892
Most likely some kind of VRM,

either GPU (check card) or CPU (check mobo)

Although I would expect hardware to shut off in such a case.

Anyway get something to monitor more temps other than core temps and see what's getting hot

>>52239857

I recently bought a brand new Radeon R9 290 (an upgrade from a dinky GTX 650 ti) and I'm getting these weird vertical/horizontal lines on random occasions, but only when I've either been gaming or watching youtube, strangely enough. The audio will either continue to play or stutter, but It's basically forcing me to hard restart (except for one time I had a youtube video playing, the screen appeared, I think I hit backspace on my keyboard and suddenly it started working again once the browser's page refereshed.

The weird part is, I've played only 10 minutes before it happened, or sometimes I manage several hours straight.

I tested my memory, just bought a new 750w PSU, and I even tried rolling back my display drivers.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped and I only know just enough to be clueless when shit hits the fan.

is there any other benefit to installing w7 on a SSD than faster boot times?

i got a 250gb but undecided if i want to install w7 on it since its like 35gb installed... and since games are now 20-30gb each..

390X IMO

>>52240248

I'd do it, but only if I found a REALLY good deal.

>>52241010
Yea, I figured. It's probably my RAM then, I've been having a bit of trouble with that. I had to turn the paging file off to avoid a bluescreen and the crash only ever occurs when I'm playing Dota 2 which puts my RAM at like 3.6 gb / 4 gb with no paging file
I'm also fairly sure it isn't overheating, it might have been before when it peaked at 82c but I fixed things so it now only peaks at 75c

also, it's not like it just restarts: it crashes completely, as if it got power cut, and then starts back up

>>52241062

The 390X won't fit in my ITX case as the fans brush against the PSU shroud. I'm gonna go with the 980 platinum. It's much sexier anyway.

>>52240785

restarts are usually either the mobo (unlikely) or your CPU overheating. Check your temps, do you have non ECC RAM?

What exactly would I be doing if I got one of these 3 jobs?

What software should I use to rip DVDs from the library? A lot of them (foreign films especially) are 10+ years old but I'm gonna assume most have some kind of encryption protection.

My OCD forces me to check out a dozen at once, but then I never watch any by the time I have to bring them back, so I figure I'll just download them.

So everytime I try to post on 4chan with Firefox I get

Atleast 600+ if you want to overclock. AMD cards suck power like a whore down a back alley.

Hey /sqt/ need some programming advice.

I'm porting my anime manager to Emacs. The thing is, Emacs doesn't seem to have any good SQLite bindings. The main problem with this means no prepared statements, meaning I need to do string sanitizing by hand. I'm trying to figure out the right approach to this.

1. Pipe input directly to SQLite subprocess. Need to sanitize strings by hand.
2. Use a foreign function interface to call SQLite's C bindings. Adds two extra dependencies and potentially unstable and unfun FFI play.
3. Outsource everything outright to a Python server process. The Emacs part basically becomes a super thin client that proxies input and output to/from the server process. Needs the server program as an extra dependency.
Ideas?

I got my first dmca for a porn of all things (torrent, public tracker). Not a warning from my isp about p2p but an actual warning because of a dmca by the porn group or their contacted lawyers or whatever.

How do they know? Do they join the seed pool and just issue dmca to anyone they find in there?

What should I do to protect myself now that they've warned me?

For the future I'll just stick to private trackers because now I just feel paranoid

>>52243911
technically you can't trademark porn, you're fine. There's nothing they are going to do. If you need to, just change your ISP.
And in order to know YOU did that, a lawyer actually goes in, downloads it from said torrent site, finds your IP and sends it to who ever. In bit torrent or whatever, it shows everyone there, so he takes them all down and sends them to whatever ISP. legally, they can't prove anything from your IP address. Once you delete the torrent, they can't prove you didn't own a copy of it at some point. That is why you can get away with downloading DVDs from kickass. you're in the clear essentially anon.

dude shut the fuck up. you did not have to reply to that, and you did not need to be proud of your ignorance of tech shit on a tech board.

Your friend doesn't care and you know it.

And the sensor isn't even on the middle of the mouse, so it's not perfect

ok

>>52244481
to scare you basically. its like the first time you do something stupid and your mom agrees to the "Scared straight" program

>>52244512
agreeing also with first reply, but seriously dude, if you own a computer and you've EVER used this thing, I don't know it's GOOGLE this giant fucking website, you would of searched for "top 10 antivirus' " and gone with it.

I'm not going to call you an idiot, or be mean but dude, seriously, google before you travel to /g/

>>52244582
well shit

>>52244585
a lot of /g/ users are going to hate me for this but, go look on skullcandy's site, they have some nice headphones. I want to get the Slyers. that and the wireless hesh's cause they have a built in mic.
all else fails, like me, i like having speakers and shit, i have a usb wii u mic, and it works amazing, people never complain about my mic audio and say I come thru pretty well.

What's a good studying resource for various IT certs?

So stupid question.

I found this old Seagate barracuda 1tb which is probably like 3 years+ old which was forgotten backup. Is it safe to use it for my new build?

Forgetting the blackblaze seagate shit memes

Welp, no pictures needed. I am retarded. Mobo end is 19 pins, header is 20. I just need some adapter if something like that exists/is viable.

I'm planning to replace thermal paste in my PC. Since I don't have pure alcohol laying around, is it OK to use Listerine to clean the old paste? I don't want to get ants.

Just do it you faggot! It's so improvised, I fucking love it/

thats a new one. never heard any one before,

Don't use listerine dude.

So on your mobo there are 19 pins sticking out like in the pic and your front panel cable has 20 female ends, right? Can't you just plug in it? There's nothing physically stopping you right? Or does it not work when plugged it?
Your case is modern one, it should have the appropriate USB3.0 front panel cable to plug in.

The way it's shaped blocks it from going in, it might be hard to tell.

i have a laptop with linux on it. if i want to dual boot, can i just partition the drive in half and install windows on the new partition?

>>52244957
This?

People seem to have problems with that case but I can't exactly tell how it doesn't fit.
So is the connector too wide or is there not enough headroom?

>>52245034
It's much too wide, but the adapter noted on your link seems like it'll do the trick. Thanks so much.

does anyone have a free alternative to SSDready (which is not piratable?)

I am trying to mitigate SSD writes and this shows me WHAT specifically is writing, just not how MUCH. Also this is my first SSD so what should I be disabling/checking to make sure everything is not hammering this shit with writes?

Is there a reason in particular that the wiki doesn't have anything by IOBit? They seem like they're making pretty great products.

>>52245087
Ok, sure. Hope it works.

Best Youtube Converter?
There's tons of apps/sites/plugins I just don't know which one is the best. I just want good audio and the option to save the video or just the audio.

>>52245195
youtube-dl

>>52245195
>>52245243
this. Let's you choose exactly which audio / video stream you want with quality / format etc.

>>52245195
There's even a gui for it if you're into that:

how the fuck do you install/use this.

>>52245438
What's your OS? Which one are you trying to install?
the bare youtube-dl is just a command line program fyi.

I downloaded Python, I'm using windows 7.

Do all mATX cases take ATX psu:s by default or do they use the smaller ones?

>>52245460
Ok, as any python version seems to be fine, just install python. Are you fine with using a command line or afraid?

When I play a Webm video in MPC occasionally it'll just play a white pixelated mess depending on the vid that would play normally in a browser.

How do I fix it?

>>52245691
Does it happen in other video players? Is there a bug report for it?

does intalling a custom rom wipes my phone's data?
assuming i already have unlocked the bootloader

>>52245819

I'm thinking about getting a Razer Headset for PC gaming purposes, since my TurtleBeach headset is falling apart.

Are their headsets any good? I want to stay within $100ish dollars range is all.

>>52244556
>Your friend doesn't care and you know it.

Actually he plays CS:GO and is currently using something called the "blackweb mouse". After the new update he dropped to the lowest rank, and felt way discouraged for even playing and was considering selling all his skins and quitting. He says his budget is 100 dollars or less, but he said he has his eyes on the g300s, so I wanted to get him a mouse with a perfect sensor at that price (30 USD).

And, this "friend" is not me. I have a Deathadder. I heard the g100s was discontinued, but it's still 22 dollars or something and I told him he could go for that, but I wanted to confirm whether or not the mouse he wanted had a perfect sensor. Also, I know shit about sensors, so thanks for the reply, and info. Cheers.

>>52246113
They aren't as bad as /hpg/ will tell you, but they are overpriced; only get them if they're on sale.
Also, unless your really care about the colour of the logo you can't see while wearing them, get Classic instead of Chroma. Literally the exact same product but with a blue light.

>>52235086
What is that theme 99% of /g/ users have on their linux distros? It's usually pastel colours and minimal.

>>52245941
can you post them webm or upload it somewhere so I can test it myself?

So my new computers motherboard only has one port for a case fan, but the case I've got has one built in 120mm and spaces for two extra 120mm fans. I've found a 4 port hub for cheap but after talking to my slightly more tech-literate brother he's worried about drawing power for 3 fans through the one port. Will it be an issue? Or can I go ahead with buying it? The fans I'm looking at are Venturi HF-12s.

Is there a totally standard keyboard that /g/ recommends? I know the Logitech K120 is heavily recommend, but I want a keyboard without any keys being warped. Like a mechanical keyboard, but membrane. Need it for muh games. All standard-sized keys.

pic related. compared a lenovo keyboard to the k120, but the lenovo keyboard costs 40 CAD on amazon so it's not worth it to me. I just wanted to know the /g/ standard, though, so price isn't actually relevant.

>>52246381

Hey, thanks. I was trying to find that, but all I did was search keywords on the /g/ archive. Cheers.

I use the K-lite codec pack

>>52246607
Ok. Maybe it's the codec pack, maybe mpc. I didn't find an issue on their bugtracker.
You could try
http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php?7545-KCP-Kawaii-Codec-Pack for example and see if it changes something. I don't know man. Maybe someone on Windows can play the webm for you and test if they have the same issue.

Does there exist a strip of material that will produce a current when exposed to an IR light? Google isn't giving me very many answers.
