it's not bad, but you're right that its more of a diary and you don't have some central theme. i like your writing style though. it feels like im reading The Martian.

>>52247092
Oh damn, I loved that book.
Well, I don't WANT to have a central theme, that's even stated in the title. I want to provide lots of random information, my thoughts about anything that goes through my mind, spread out information.
It's what my mind is like and it's what I'd want to read as well.
But I guess many people prefer having a central theme to something.
Thanks for checking it out though.

>>52247131
fair enough. i suppose one way to do it is to eventually get readers who have similar hobbies to you and then you can mix up talking about your life and hobbies. im pretty sure thats what most blogs do.

Is there any way to get my USB keyboard working in BIOS? Or will I have buy a ps/2 adapter?

what is the best way to keep my 4chan folder synced between my desktop and my pc? i'm looking for something that can be done over the local network, not dropbox.
windows gui is preferred, but linux cli would be fine as well.

I haven't read any but from the titles you seem to write only about yourself. thats not intresting unless you are a hot as fuck popstar. write something that you figured out but at that time there wasn't any good art for it. another option is to link your crap to reddit, but make it subtle or they will blacklist your site.

I'm a verypoorfag that needs to upgrade his mobo and processor in order to rise beyond my incredible 4gb RAM capacity... yes, it's that bad.

Current system:
- ASUS P5Kc
- Core2 quad 2,66

- HD5770

I'm thinking of getting:
- ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 for 95 euros
- AMD FX-4300, 3,8 for 80 euros
- 1x8Gb DDR3 for 40 euros
- Same video card because I'm poor as fuck

Am I overlooking something here? I feel like this would finally bring me back into somewhat modern times but I've been out of the upgrading game for so long I don't even know anymore.

Went to bed last night and everything was fine. Woke up and now my screen looks like this. Is there a way to fix it or is my screen fucked?
If you can't see it clearly because of my shifty camera it has discoloration starting about half inch from the top of the screen downwards.

>>52248639
I don't know what caused that or how to fix it but I do know you better start making backups of anything important you have on there if you havn't done so yet.

>>52248639
it's either the screen or the graphics card. good luck

>>52248639
Plug your laptop into your TV as a monitor. If the discoloration persists onto your TV it's an issue in your laptop, if not it's just the screen.

Yo, /g/. I've been in and out of here lately. I've lost a ton of data and managed to restore some of it. As of now I'm trying to restore my music library, and I was wondering if there's a program that allows me to see which folders in a directory have files in them and what size the files are. Seaching through each individual folder for the possibility of corrupted files is very time consuming.

I think there was a program that had a dog on it or something that might have been able to help me out. I just don't remember it. Thanks in advance.

>>52248657
>>52248666
>>52248671
Thanks for the replies. I'll start by making backups then check it out on an external monitor as soon as I get a connector.

Hi /g/, poorfag here, how could I cheaply upgrade my PC without having to not eat 4 months? many told me the graphic card should be enough for some years (is this true?) but what about the cpu?

thank you all in advanced.

>>52248761
That whole thing is garbage. Literally none of it is salvageable. That CPU and GPU isn't even enough to emulate gameboy games, let alone real games.

The most important thing to start with is a new CPU/mobo/RAM/ PSU, then new GPU, HDD, etc.

What happens if I upgrade to Windows 10? I don't want to lose all my stuff on my hard drive. Would I have to reinstall everything?

>>52248809
if you upgrade, you lose nothing but get a buggy OS

if you fresh install 10, you get a good OS to build upon

pick your poison

>>52248809
>I don't want to lose all my stuff on my hard drive
Back it up to a different hard drive. Reinstall what needs to be reinstalled.

>>52248783
I could play some games so far, but upgrading also mobo, ram psu etc sounds like a lot of money - is there a cheap way to get away with like only cpu or something? thank you anon.

>>52248874
>is there a cheap way to get away with like only cpu or something?
Err there is but that means pooling your money into an obsolete CPU with minimal performance gains. It would be better if you just saved your money and did everything at the same time.

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Extreme-QX6700-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B000JNNAU0

>>52248874
The motherboard doesn't have to be expensive. The only expensive motherboards are the ones that come loaded with features(that most other boards also have). RAM is cheap(er). PSU is pretty essential, and you only have to upgrade that once or twice. If you don't have a lot of money right now, you may as well wait until you have a bit more to work with. Chances are your motherboard might not support many upgrades.

how do I find out what internet protocol (UDP,TCP, etc) a website uses?

>>52248908
Are there any basic motherboards that dont cost much but accept most upgrades? And is there maybe a full upgrade list somewhere that isnt 600$ but less, because that would take me ages to scratch together.

>>52248904
So this CPU would be the minimal performance gain cpu?

>>52249048
>So this CPU would be the minimal performance gain cpu?
You're going to have a lot of problems ie bottlenecking from low RAM, but yes this is the best upgrade I'll recommend

>>52249048
I got my Gigabye B85M-DS3H for about 40 bucks. It doesn't overclock or support SLI/Crossfire, but I can fit most upgrades on there. The motherboard is rather small, so just look out for that if you're planning on getting a heatsink/fan installed. Space can get tight.

What language would you guys recommend for simple file manipulation? I have a load of data from simulations, and I need to:

-rename them based on the structure and content of their file names.
-concatenate some of them into single files, with reference to a directory of other data files (primarily resumed simulations, so I check a directory if a simulation with the same parameters, found from the regular file names, exists, and, if so, check if the current object has resumed from the point that run stopped).
-generate gnuplot scripts for some of it
-possibly carry out simple analysis of some of the file contents, comparing between files, or generating new files (e.g., in a tab delimited data file, taking the 6th column from File A, and the 6th column from File B, and printing the difference between their values to File C).

I should be able to parse the filenames via regex, although their conventions are from years ago, and were not designed to be parse-able.

I don't have much experience with scripting/file management, and whilst I could write a more complete programme, I get the feeling pythony, ruby, or something similar might be a better choice - am I right in thinking this?

>>52249336
what's wrong with Gmail?

don't come with that >muh privacy shit

do I keep my 290 or sell it off? I don't use it much since I leave it at home when I go off to school 5 hours away, so it just sits there 90% of the time

I can get $240 for it (Canada), probably more if I waited, but I leave soon

next time I'm home, which is May, there might be more info on Pascal, which might lower the price is 390/390x

Will I attract the law if I torrent a literal shitton of movies at the same time? As opposed to torrenting one or two at a time.

>>52249457
Already reported to the proper authorities.
>>52249445
Don't sell it until you replace it.

>>52249501
>Don't sell it until you replace it.
I still have my 560ti which can handle 99% of my needs (shitposting and BF4 on low)

I only bought the 290 a few months ago and I regret not getting a 290x or 390x

I need a vesa mount that goes onto this. What the fuck is this mount called? It's an adjustable desk stand thingy

>>52249530
Mind if I ask what the problem was with the 290? Seems like it'd be a decent upgrade.

>>52249457
Use VPS/VPN take what you need from there after torrenting.
Most likely not, unless the films themselves are illegal. If your ISP cares, which they shouldn't; you will be fine.

How the fuck do I fix all these got damned CONNECTION ERRORS?
I'm using Firefox with uMatrix.

>>52249552
there isn't a problem really, I just don't need it and by the time I can actually use it (probably the summer), other options might be similar price

eg in the summer, a 390/390x might be $300, whereas a 290 will probably be $200 flat. if I sell my 290 for $250 right now, I can upgrade later or just get another 290 and save $50

I won't be using the 290 most of the time anyway so it seems like a waste

I am building my first PC and my ASUS GTX 950 came in the mail today.

Is this normal? Looks like something is missing but is there supposed to be anything in the package other than the GPU itself and manuals?

Thanks if you respond.

>>52249571
Should I use a VPN to download the torrent links or to download the actual movie files?

>>52249741
>Is this normal?
Did you buy it used?

>>52249758
New from Amazon and it was still sealed

>>52249744
Use a VPN to download the movie files.

>>52249741
There are typically adapters, SLI bridges, cables etc. Also (unless you did it) the anti-static bag is crumpled and has definitely been removed.

I would send that back.

>>52249770
OK thanks.

>>52247211
What a shitty answer.

>You have choices about the data we collect... may decline... cannot decline and use feature where it is required for a feature to operate

So what is the minimum amount that you can make it collect short of not using it altogether?

>>52249773
I took the bag out myself to see if there was something under it (there were the manuals).
Are the cables something I need to build the PC or just spares? I don't have all the pieces yet so i can't check what I have or not, but if I don't need them I may just suck it up and keep it since I don't want to go through all the procedure.

>>52249571
>>52249770
Can't the authorities just question the VPN provider who will give them your information when pressured?

>>52249812
There might had been a molex to 6 pin power adapter, if your GPU doesn't have the proper connectors. If you didn't need it, it's not important

>>52249741
Check the contents information on the amazon page where you bought it. Also call the manufacturer and ask them what is usually provided in the package.

Should i preorder the Occulus Rift or wait until there are some reviews?

>>52249741
I'm not sure for the 950, for higher end cards you normally have adapters for 2*6-pin power to 1*8-pin, SLI bridges, and anything else you might need. I'm not sure if that applicable to 950s though.

>>52249876
Make a decision when you know the price? Unless the price is skyhigh, I don't think there'll be any difficulty in reselling it whether unopened or used. There might even be a profit if stocks don't meet demand.

Do laptop batteries die faster if you keep them in the laptop while it's plugged in versus just leaving them on a shelf?

My laptop's battery died within a year and I got a new one recently so I could go outside for a research project. I'm wondering if I should keep the battery disconnected until I need it, or just leave it plugged in?

Pic related, it's my laptop. I use it as my main computer so it's plugged in almost 24/7

>>52249773
>>52249825
>>52249835
>>52249876
It may just be that they have an universal package but don't put all the optionals in the lower end cards so it remains empty. I'll just wait for the other parts to come and mount it and if I have some problem look into it further.

Thanks a lot guys.

>>52249910
>Do laptop batteries die faster if you keep them in the laptop while it's plugged

Yes. My laptop used to last longer when I actually used it as a laptop. Nowadays it dies within 30 minutes and sometimes I get random percentages.
It shows like 70% and then drops to 3% within seconds.

how do I force win7 to acknowledge longer directory names/URLs and not fuck it up? are there any hacks that fix this retarded feature?

>>52249954
Yeah, it's called not keeping all your metadata in the filenames.

>>52249939
That's just anecdotal though. The only thing close to an official word I've seen is here http://www.wired.com/2013/09/laptop-battery which claims that the ideal charging cycle is 80% - 40% - 80%.

However, I remember someone posting a research paper here which showed that batteries will degrade over time on their own, and the damage caused by keeping it plugged in is not significant.

>>52249910
It depends of the maker.

>>52250428
If you go looking you should be able to find plenty of 'kits', which allow you to compile derivative, custom, malware.

I'm not sure what you mean by trustable, pre-compiled malware will almost always try to botnet the computer you install it on, whilst providing you with the services you require.

I hope you have your 'hacked' PC as a VM, or in a suitably isolated DMZ, as it'll almost certainly try to send worms out over the network. Not fun if your PCs get infected, even less fun if the ISP notices, and thinks you're trying to infect the world.

Honestly, if you're asking here, you should probably spend some more time reading up (and learning how to write) malware, /g/ isn't really the community. There are some visible blackhat malware communities, and plenty white/grey hat malware/infosec communities.

Not so much a question, but more looking for advice.

What can I do to improve this?

>>52250591
No/unlikely. Unless the graphics drivers offer a utility to do this (and change the GPU to a pass-through of some sort) you can't easily. Older laptops with VGA (analogue) input/outputs can be directly used as second monitors, with suitable drivers.

I seem to recall you can also use Macbooks as second monitors when connected to another device running OSX, although it might just be iMac->iMac.

If you're really interested in it, you can hack a solution, which would require you to remove the laptop screen, and solder in some sort of switch to the screen, either connecting to the laptop, or to a digital input - not sure how simple this would be (if possible at all).

If you don't mind a bit of latency you can set it up as a psuedo second screen over a network, there are some existing programmes for this, but I've never looked at them in any detail.

>>52250689
Oh, I had it backwards. You're trying to connect it to the monitor alone? I'm not sure how that'll work.

Hello!

So I'm browsing porn and opening images in tabs as they load up. A few minutes go by, and I choose then to save the images to the Desktop, but they start download all over again as I do that. It seems that the browser, or server, or whatever else can only store the image for so long before it has to download it all over again.

I'm just wondering if someone can explain this to me.
What is it exactly that causes the image to re-download after a set time?
Can I change it?

Here's an example link!

I open a link containing an image in a new tab. The image loads, and then I choose to open another link containaing another image. I keep going and open ten tabs. Then I choose to download the first image in the first tab by dragging it to the desktop. Normally, dragging it to the Desktop would save it instantly presuming the image was loaded fully. But a few minutes have gone by since loading the image, and because of that, the image needs to be downloaded again.
I don't know why this is. Is the browser, or the website, or something else.

I just want to understand it.
Just generally I'd like to deconstruct each element from that webpage and understand what code does what.

>>52249689

If you don't want to completely disable it just add *.4chan.org to the whitelist and you're golden.

Is this only with sadpanda?

If so, check the resolution of the downloaded image, compared to that of the image displayed in the browser.

Secondly, check that the downloaded image corresponds to that in the browser, and not the next image in the gallery.

>Is this only with sadpanda?
I'm not sure. I feel like I remember this happening on other websites. Sorry I'm not able to test it just now.
>If so, check the resolution of the downloaded image, compared to that of the image displayed in the browser.
It's the exact same resolution. When the image is successfully downloaded, there's no problem.
>Secondly, check that the downloaded image corresponds to that in the browser, and not the next image in the gallery.
What do you mean? No it's the same image as the one chosen to download.

So I found this old PC case in garbage.
It booted fine, but the issue is it have two optical drives.
When I press the eject button or use the eject command, the optic drive bay don't open, it makes sound as if it tries to open but it doesn't.
I can open it with pin though.
Can it be salvaged?

>>52251360
Okay, really odd then, as you don't have to reload the page in order to see the image it's necessarily cached.

It's not a sadpanda thing, as I just checked on my side. Could it be a user script, that's using its own caching rather than the browser caching, so when the browser looks for a cached image it can't find one? If you have webcomic viewer, or another viewing addon installed disable it and see if the problem persists.


On a different note, since when did you have to wait 5 minutes to re-authorise your 4jew pass after changing networks/IPs? Really irritating.

>>52251477
Probably, take off the casing and see what the issue is. If you can't be bothered, give the drive a helping hand and pry it open a bit whilst telling it to eject, most likely just just friction, which a bit of oil will solve.

>>52251165
I found these two and seem to be sort of what I need, are they bad choices?

>>52251531
Yes.
To further explain it, I open a link containing an image and it loads up in a matter of seconds. The image doesn't go anywhere of course. It just stays there on the page. If it were to wait a few minutes and then drag it onto the desktop, it should save straight away as the image has been downloaded. But it re-downloads again - this time, onto the Desktop.

I can't explain it.
Have a look at my add-ons. Using Firefox v38.

>>52251602
What about greasemonkey scripts, anything there that could be causing it? Say, something that precaches sequential pages into its own cache?

Otherwise see if the sadpanda thread on /a/ knows anything, weird issue.

>>52251680
There's just the one greasemonkey script - 4chanX.
I'll try disabling it sometime in the next few days to check to see if it's the cause.
If not, I might try the sad-panda forums.
Cheers.

>>52251602
What's the size of the cache? Is it even enabled?

Also, as usual, try with an empty profile and report back.
If it's working properly, it's most likely a problem with a preference in your profile.

>>52251773
Wouldn't be 4chanX. Sadpanda forums are a shithole, check /a/ first, they do offer techhelp sometimes.

Double check your cache settings, see if it's set to flush frequently or something.

As:

Says, make a clean profile and see what happens.

Might even be worth making a clean install elsewhere on the drive, firefox installations can break in the oddest of ways.

Hi, I want to extend my wifi, do I need a special repeater device or something? Or can regular router do it as well?

What's the verdict on running your OS off of an SSD?

I was thinking about getting a mini-SATA SSD for my laptop to increase boot speed, but I remember seeing an argument here about whether or not the number of writes a system drive does will significantly limit an SSD's lifespan or not.

>>52252026
It's a substantial upgrade, and, while it's true SSDs have a limited number of writes, you'd have to write terabytes and terabytes 24h/24 over a decade to have it fail.
Just go for it.

Is GearVR worth buying for the porn? Is there even a lot of porn out?

>>52252930
It's a meme. Some people on /g/ just love to throw around words like botnet and honeypot. That said, I tend to avoid using public trackers because copyright advocate companies monitor the swarms for popular torrents on them. I got dinged twice by the Copyright Alert System after downloading some movies from TPB, but they never got any notices about the relatively obscure porn I got from there too.

In theory, if I were to get a higher core count processor (like, an 8-core extreme edition i7, not a 90-core amd thing). Would it be likely to last longer, in terms of performing well (so barring just general failure). How long does would it generations would it take a standard i7 (6700k level) to catch up to the extreme editions?

I have a bunch of USB external drives on a USB 3.1 hub because my mobo is lacking in the SATA and USB ports I need, but often they randomly dismount when I seed torrents from them, is there any way to prevent this? I think it's something to do with the drives not "waking up" fast enough when data needs to be retrieved from them or something like that, or some timeout related thing, can I tweak this somehow?

GPU overclocking is always core speed first and then memory.

Frying it sooner than without overclocking. That's always the consequence. Might not happen in years, though.

If it starts to crash under stress testing, go 5% lower and that should be your maximum.

Also:
Furmark is not a reliable stress test because it loads the GPU with unreasonable amounts of work.

Also2:
There is not direct route. Overclocking to the max is always a long road with many setbacks.
Just make sure to take small steps and do it over and over again until you reach the ceiling.

What else was I supposed to install on a netbook with no GNU/Linux support?

>>52254816
Win7 or 8.1. I prefer 7, but that's just a personal thing. You can always debloat 8.1 and be fine, but it's a bit more work.

>>52249403
I would probably go with python as you suggested

Best gaming build for $600-700?

OK well I was planning on purchasing an ssd anyways so this might just be my ticket although I really don't want to purchase it and find out my hard drive was not the issue and I still have a broken pc :(

This just started happening a few days ago and is on pretty much everything-- what can I do to fix it?

How can you be so stupid?

>>52254814 again

Don't overvolt if you're not experienced. Overvolting is where you really begin to get into the smelling burnt electronics area.

It's tempting because it will give you stable overclocks where your system crashed before, but it also might kill your stuff if you're not careful.

I have a sticker on my screen that tells me not to overvolt when I'm drunk, because I've done it before.. Imagine what happened..

Doesn't 10 have better battery life?

>>52254866
I'm not sure m8, I'm just speculating the most possible reason.
Speedfan has a quick SMART test that shows the health status of your HDD without putting it under stress. I think it also has a heavy stress test.
Otherwise there are enough tools that put your HDD under heavy stress.

Pretty sure the NSA has statistics on that. Just ask them. :^)

Google is retarded, more news at 10. Google wants you to share your personal info because that's how they make money you dimwit.
Doesn't mean you don't have to choice to say "no"

Hey, you didn't post that, I did. Why do you need to know?

>>52254674
390, unless you find the 970 for much cheaper. No point in buying old gen, and 3.5GB may be a meme but if you have the choice to buy an equivalent card for the same price that does not suffer from this problem, you should.

An infected computer has to communicate with a command and control server. Monitor your network traffic for anything suspicious.

Recommended web browser? I use Opera usually, but there is the occasional website that doesn't work with it. Anything light, safe/secure and functional that I can download on the side?

I'll be careful. Thanks for the info.

I'm going to look into overclocking more; before I was just bumping it up a little, matched with the core speed and things seemed okay. I need more power out my 380X so I don't have to choose between slideshow mode or potato mode for Planetmans 2.

If i rooted my android and deleted various apps and services, would they be back if i did a factory reset?

Chromium

>>52255426
Wow. If you are not a major criminal there is no reason not to use chrome.

>>52255406
2.55mm would be my guess.

If they came pre installed.. probably

Why do you need to spend all that money on a motherboard if you're feeding it shit hardware? But a trash 40$ motherboard and so be it

Otherwise get the pentium 20th anniversary edition for 60$ and a 40$ motherboard

Mac Mini owners anyone? Preferably any who run Plex or any sort of media server on them?
Apple likely have some new mac minis coming out, pretty much want to have one running 24/7 for streaming locally. The lot on the Plex forums go on a lot about processing speed for transcoding, but most of my stuff I've already converted to h264 anyway. There are also a handful of refurbished 2014 i5 models which might be up to task. Wondering if anyone was doing a similar thing with them?

So im looking to upgrade my GPU and ram on my desktop. My motherboard can accept DDR3 ram and PCI express 1.0 cards, would it even be worth it to throw 16 gigs of ram and a GTX 970 on it or should i just give in and buy a new motherboard? I also have a 750 PSU but im not sure if I'd need a new one. Any suggestions?

>>52255599
Audio? Around $40 in a store.
HDMI? Around $30-$40 in a store.

>>52255860
forgot to add, currently sitting on an i7 at 2.67 and using an evga 470 with 6 gigs of ram

My mom had her wallet stolen out of her purse when she wasn't paying attention at Whole Foods yesterday, she's been pretty broken up about it so I've been helping her get her stuff back in order, anything you guys would recommend besides the obvious? So far gone down the list and called every credit card/bank account she owns to have the cards issued (inconvenient as fuck, wish there was some "freeze everything" number you could call) and issued a fraud alert with Experian so they can't apply for any new credit in her name (though I don't think they got her social security card) went in for a new license at the DMV this morning, will need to apply for new insurance cards and whatnot soon as well but is there anything else we should be doing to minimize the impact of this?
