Maybe this is what confused me about phones with custom ROMs on them.
So if I update to the newest version of a ROM, it's best to do a wipe?
I was always hesitant to do this because I always assumed that wiping the phone would get rid of my root and ROM and pretty much make it factory default.
Or when you have a ROM on there, it's "Factory Default" setting is like a fresh ROM, and not the phone's original shit pre-ROM??

I understand backing up with Titanium Backup, I just don't want to lose my root access or other things I had to finely tune afterwards.

i work on a trampoline park and we need to enforce waivers so idiots cant sue us if they broke their necks doing shit they are not supposed to do.

Probably a spastic cloaca

>>52578149
Basically what I'm saying is if I'm running a ROM (be it Cyanogenmod or AzureROM or something) and I do its "Factory Reset" option, am I pretty much wiping the ROM off the phone too? Or will it simply be a fresh, new ROM?

Hello /g/.
I'm wiring my headphone to F_Audio pins, and something is wrong.
When I connect ground to ground, left to left, right to right, sound is just not right.
When I put ground on left, both plays, and muting left does nothing. Both plays. And vice versa
Dummy question, but my head is not spinning anyway
Is it bad inside headset or something? I remember having loads of this situations, but it was very long ago, so yeah
Thanks in advance

>>52578966

When it's connected correct muting one side makes sound good, but both speakers play. and vice versa.

>>52578839
you dont need more then 16gb unless you're doing audio work or video editing(production quality). They will bottleneck because they arent paired together(you want a quad channel kit)

>>52579786
So you're saying only having 2x8GB is BETTER than having 2x8GB+2x4GB? It's not a question of needing it or not, I have the ram sticks sitting around not being used.

The wifi signal at my sister's house is absolute ass. It drops constantly throughout (there are 3 floors), and the connection is slow as fuck (it feels like sub-5Mbps). The router is located on the ground floor in the corner of the lounge. What solutions are there to boost the signal that don't involve cables, and don't involve buying a second router (ideally keep the solution as small and unobtrusive as possible)? I wanted to install one of those signal boosting antennas, but the original antenna didn't seem to want to come out and I didn't want to damage it.

>>52579822
Throw them in if you want. There will be a performance loss.

>>52579835
Meeting your critera.Nothing

>>52579839
Performance loss as in I'll be getting less than 16 GB of RAM?

>>52579854
Performance loss as in they arent paired together so they may not work properly together, bottlenecking, not handing caches properly.
If they are different freq's, etc etc

>>52579540

why? it's the same psu with a different fan/sticker.

>>52579835
Theoretically and only that way - picrelated things.
For real, care less about how unobtrusive it is when you want reception. It's physics, not magic. Either you'll allow waves to reach and be reached or you're offline. Get a second router, wire it of course (you could use 2 radios router like mine, but you want not to feel the connection 5Mbps-like, right? It's about high ping that will slow everything down).

>>52579854
It'll be dual-channel, just like your current 2x8. Just make sure that each channel uses one 8GB and one 4GB module. The whole 24GB will be running on the lowest frequency of all your modules (i.e. if you mix 1600 and 1833 you'll end up with 1600 for the whole 24GB).

Git is a distributed versioning control system, meaning that there is no server-client structure.

You can use git local only, or you can distribute it across machines and use git push to push your current branch around.

Asking again in new thread.

Yesterday I shut down my PC and when I tried to boot it up it wouldn't POST. Case, CPU and GPU fans spin, HDD spins but there is no display of any kind.

What would cause this to happen and what do I have to do to fix it?

>>52579896
The mobo will usually either force the slow ones to run at the faster speed (potential overheating/breakdown issues) or will slow the faster ones down to the speed of the slowest ones.

Just use the uefi/bios settings to set the ram clock to something they can both tolerate, and don't worry. You won't really see performance losses and if there are any it will be much less than 1%.

Most people won't see much of a gain in having more than 16gb ram either, so the plus monus moght balance itself out.

>>52579948
Thats while you are already in linux. If you are on windows, use Rufus. Point it at the iso, and your usb stick, and run.

Hi, how you doing ?
Since the fall of megaupload and the whole shitfest that followed, I've pretty much lost contact with the pirating world, only sticking to piratebay until it's takedown last year (or the year before last year I can't remember), and now I've been using kickass exclusively for quite a few months.

So I'd like to know, what are the current (and safe) other big torrenting sites ?

Would Hackintoshing an Acer Aspire One D150 netbook make sense?

Well, for the sake of it being a neat netbook.
Windows XP is old and Windows 7 runs like shit.
I've turned to light Linux distros (Lubuntu at first, been playing with ElementaryOS a little bit, but it sucks).
Maybe want to try out Hackintosh with it, since it apparently rates very well as far as compatibility goes.

What would you guys say to your near-retirement dad when he told you that...

...he wants to learn how to "make websites in WordPress (no programming involved!)" and then make his own business where he sells websites he made (in Wordpress, exclusively)...

>>52581647
unless you want to learn how to write an engine yourself, use an existing one.

the only problem you might face is being blacklisted because your IP address is for customers of an ISP, which tend to have a higher risk for sending spam.

This is the first time in 6 years I've built a PC. What is the CMOS, again?

I don't own other keyboards. I only have the one.

For what it's worth, all peripherals and the USB itself are plugged into the USB 2.0 jacks. The peripherals are clearly receiving power, because the lights are on.

>>52582656
CMOS is basically the part that saves the BIOS data like for example if it should beep at you on boot or not. Usually there are two pins next to the internal battery that you have to shorten out with something or if that doesn't work just take the battery out. Last time I've had a USB problem I did that and it worked but I also remember going back to some very old PS/2 keyboards, not sure why I did that though. Good luck.

>>52582647
I have a 6700k with a NH D15 and it's regularly running at 38C, just idle. Is it possible that I mis under or overapplied the thermal paste? How would I fix that if that's the case? I put an admittedly not-the-most-even dab. Not a huge glob, but certainly a decent dab. like the size of a ball bearing, but more spread out.

>>52582647
Just up the multiplier in the bios and you should be good as long as your cooling can hold up with the heat. usually you can easily add 0.3ghz without any problems.

There are ereaders that are supposedly easier on the eyes because of the screen they use. Because of this they are only black & white but then if you are reading a book on it you can read outside without glare and also it's supposed to be exactly the same as reading a real book.

There are color ereaders but I'm pretty sure the tech hasn't caught up so all you're getting is a limited tablet.

A lot of people reccomended the nexus 7 2013 as a budget tablet to me, but no sd/microsd card slot and the fact that it still costs 200 euro in europe is kind of deal breaker for me. Are there any other decent budget tablets?

Optimize your images.
A good bet is converting them to webm, that'll esentially make them webp images which is far better than either jpg or png.

>>52583316
If 200 is too much for you what is your budget for a tablet? Also is that the price of a refurbished one there? Refurbished can be cheap and fine if bought from a reliable retailer.

refurbished from amazon costs me about 170. That's about the lowest I can get, prices for tech in Belgium are always pretty high. Since I'm only really going to use it for watching movies and reading weeb comics, I'd say my budget is around 100-150. I would have just gotten that 50$ amazon tablet, but apprantly because of one old law or another Belgium us the only european country that amazon isn't allowed to sell that tablet to.

Because we have no access to the source of the external library, we have to override File.separator. How can we do this?

>>52584909
That is correct then.

If it cannot find a file then something else is wrong.

Or using the full path instead of DOS short file names?

>Notice that in the CP932.TXT mapping table linked below, code 0x5C is mapped to U+005C REVERSE SOLIDUS (\). This is often a source of confusion because in many Japanese fonts, this code is displayed as a Yen symbol, which would normally be represented as U+00A5 YEN SIGN (¥) in Unicode. However, on Windows systems, code 0x5C in code page 932 behaves as a reverse solidus (backslash) in all respects other than how it is displayed by some fonts.

>>52585666
smtp.google.com is correct. You sure you set up port and authentication method correctly?

>>52585710
Figure out what features you need.

Trial all of the VPNs that meet your needs in those regards.

>>52585710
By comparing privacy policies. Check out frootvpn.com, I changed to them a while ago because their privacy policy is the best I'd seen at the time. Still is.

Never used a vpn tho. since it's based in sweden and I'm in germany will this somewhat affect my speed?

>>52585823
I'm torrenting using their Sweden server right now, getting 56Mbit/s down.

>>52585838
It's only true for the Sweden servers, afaik.

Yes, it will affect your speed. I have a 200/20 connection, getting around 80/10 max and usually around 40-60 Mbit/s down. Decent enough, especially considering other VPN services performed similarly.

>>52585838
>that sounds too good to be true.

I remember FrootVPN being promoted on and by ThePirateBay. They also offered their service for free for a long time. So if you trust the radicals of TBP, you might believe there's some truth to it.

>>52585906
diff anon though, pity that I have such a terrible internet connection that it makes basically no difference. Unless VPN somehow makes it so I can open up ports for torrenting through my phone hotspot's NAT, there's not much point.

I did everything right in method 2 except i didn't see the part where you're to take out the SD card. the phone was just stuck on the google logo for 6.1 and didn't do anything. I then left it by it'self to see if it was just taking a long time loading. I came back to a only black screen and when it's charging it's stuck at the charging icon. I can't access the boot loader at all (yes i do know it's vol up + power for battery pull and vol down + power for boot loader) please help I really need this phone functional.

Do laptop batteries produce enough heat to cause some excess heating in a laptop? I just got bought a used one that came with two batteries. When I have either of them in, my temperatures go to around 60-80c. Even while idling. With them out, the system stays at around low 40s.

Are laptop batteries suppose to do this, or are they just bad?

Why can't I find my deleted files on this half empty 500gb hard drive? Recuva worked so well on my laptop with a smaller drive. It can't even find an empty text file I just deleted using deep scan. The only difference is that I've been using shift-delete.

>>52585807
I guess you have high ping even while on a server somewhere close? I assume you've got a decent internet connection too?

I'm assuming I don't have to tell you trying to connect on a server in another country and/or shitty internet can result in high ping, but just checking.

>>52585953
You can tunnel your phone's connection through VPN, as well. As such, you could torrent through your phone's NAT or even directly torrent on your phone. However, I'm assuming you have a data cap on your phone's mobile internet plan.

If I were in your cause, I'd just rent a torrentbox and download your torrented data at university/library/school/whatever with a decent internet connection.


>>52586032
>but would it make my general connections more stable than usual?

No. VPN has nothing to do with your connection's stability. If you have issues with your internet connection, a VPN cannot help you as it relies on that connection as well. That's something you have to remedy with the help of your ISP.

>>52586039
You can try it for one month for only $4. Really not much of a loss, in case you're unhappy.

>>52586102

Yes. Before building this PC, my old one would connect to the server just fine with 5~30 ping. And yeah the connection is fine. I download shit just fine, can watch a stream on source quality without lag, and pictures on here open up fast. The connection's fine, it's just the games.

>>52586104
>I'm assuming you have a data cap on your phone's mobile internet plan
Clinging to my grandfathered VZW plan for dear life, actually.

The problem is, I live rural and I believe I only connect to a single oversold tower.

Does VPN make it so that I could see incoming connections on an otherwise "unconnectable" connection? Private trackers get kind of cranky when you can't really share properly.

>>52586126
Yes, unless Lenovo is just really stupid for some reason.

>>52586159
>Does VPN make it so that I could see incoming connections on an otherwise "unconnectable" connection?

Your connection from you phone has to only reach the VPN server. If the VPN server can make that "unconnectable" connection, you should be fine.

Thanks in advance.

Been in the last few threads and I'm still stuck... Got new SSD. Bios detects it. Linux detects it. Windows does not. Checked the disk manager and device manager, checked diskpart, nothing. Reformatted it a few times, nothing. Put linux on it, works fine. Swapped sata cables/ports, updated drivers, downloaded programs, nothing. I was going to put windows on the drive but even the installer doesn't detect it... Wtf do?

>>52586302
My guess is that curl creates a subprocess, which then get exited/removed properly. You can check my assumption with the 'ps' or 'prgep' command.

>>52586138
You should call your ISP. How much speed do you get exactly? You could also see if...

If you live with others, are they connected too? Are they streaming, playing games, torrenting? Are you torrenting something? If on steam, make sure it's not trying to download/update a game.(normally stops itself anyways). Go on speedtest if you haven't already, and see what results you get. I've heard antennas can kind of hinder sometimes, so try to unplug them to see if anything changes. Make sure you aren't just connecting with BRs or into BR while playing on a server.

But assuming you've done all this, the last thing to do is to call your ISP and start yelling at them. Maybe they really hate games and are throttling them.

The platform is Windows 98, the DOS filenames are hard-coded in the program and I don't want to change them. The file does exist and as I already told, I have to change the value of File.separator from 0x5C00 to 0xA500 (I did so in JDB). Maybe this is a bug in the third-party library.

>>52586586
Eh... still safer than some for-profit website.
Also I would of course look it up before downloading.

Rereading my first sentence I realise that it's kind of weird thinking that anything on 4chan could be the safer option lol, but whatever...

>>52586556
It also has some setting that has it save images as jpgs sometimes depending on how large the image is.

Button combo for capture area is crtl+shift+4 on default, but you can change that.

>>52586678
Thank you Anon, but are you talking about puush or greenshot?

So I installed Windows 7 using the gigabyte usb 3.0 patcher utility. Now that I have Windows running, it still won't recognise USB 3.0 for some reason, nor the 2.0 ports on the back of the computer.

This means I can't install any of the drivers that I put on a usb flash drive. I can't even access the fucking internet because of the goddamn lan drivers not being installed,.

What kind of diagnostics? I can do the battery health tool, as I'm sure both are bad anyways. They only last for an hour or so, even on power saver.

I'll buy a can of air to see if I can't clean it out some more, but doubt that will do much.

Almost positive it's the battery itself though. It's only done this while one of them is in.

Might need to see how it runs with a Linux distro too.

>>52586697
Talking about puush, no idea how greenshot works.

If you plan on sharing screenshots anyways, go with puush since it uploads them. Then again, greenshot might also do the same.

You can upload other images and files through puush also.

fuckin hard drive is finally failing, literally overnight it went from totally ok to literally 70% of my data fucked and needs to be chkdsk'd. problem is chkdsk just fuckin stops when it runs into a fucked up sector, which is like 10% of the way through and will just quit and not go any further. how can i make it keep going so i can recover at least some files?

Bought a 960 a couple months ago want more power.

Do I?

second 960 and SLI? (like 200 bucks)

R9 Nano and sell the 960 to my friend who has an OLD 450GTS for like $100. (like 400 bucks)

Spend roughly the R9 Budget on CPU and MoBo.

use a different browser/user agent, spoof your referrer. you can spoof the referrer and the user agent with umatrix, but i've found that switching browsers gives you a more consistent result. i now use opera to post on 4chan instead of firefox and i get numbers 9 out of 10 times

>>52586811
Oh ok, thanks.

I only need it for when I have to take multiple screenshots quickly and can't press stamp, then paste in paint, and save every time, so something that does it automatically so I can then edit the images individually as I need them.
I won't upload them anywhere, like that. I will always do those things manually because I'm too autistic and paranoid lol

Mom's macbook air POSTs and boots to blank grey screen. Tried SMC and PRAM resets, and attempting to boot from recovery or internet recovery do nothing. She's outside of warranty, 3000 miles from me, and 200 miles to the nearest apple store.

What's the next step? Have her track down someone else with a mac and try to make a bootable usb recovery stick?

Macs won't boot the tried-and-true linux live usb without alterations that require a mac.

I'm guessing the SSD is hosed. Cut my losses and just get it the service provider?

Nope. Literally just redid the test with another server choice. Here's a third one. Why is only the one I need fucked.

>>52586878
I'd still check out puush. You can always just delete the images once in a while. I'd be sure the set your account to where it saves your images to the private gallery.

Greenshot might be worth checking out too if you don't need the uploading.

>>52587467
Will do, thanks

>much better battery life
>can read anywhere no matter how dark or bright it is
>almost no eye strain, similar to books
If you only want to read there is literally no reason to get a tablet over an ereader unless you want a very large screen size.

>>52587449
Might give it a try. Are you wireless or plugged in?

Maybe your isp hates NJ. I would.

>>52587508

Wired connection. And I live in nyc if that helps.

>>52587523
You said you need a server that's hosted in NJ?

>>52587541

Wrong choice of words. The one closest to me is the only one fucked. All my shit has insane ping, but these other servers are showing I'm fine?

>>52587556
You've already experience high ping while playing games, right? Were their servers also closer?

>>52587623

Yes. For gmod I only play in a single private server and until this new pc I never had problems with it, but now the ping is well, you know. As far as it's location I was never sure and the owner is offline, for Dota, US East.

And here's a new york test. The numbers are fine.

So what the shit.

>>52587675
you will also have to convert it from UEFI to BIOS. I'm not sure that that is possible.

>>52587864
I was thinking i could boot to linux from a flash drive, convert without data loss, without breaking my windows install. Is that possible?

>>52587909
why convert to MBR?

I have a gif with a black background, I want to make that transparent and then trim the edges away.

Can I do this with photoshop and the magic wand tool on each frame? There are only about 10 frames. Better ideas?

>>52588054
Maybe with the blending options, but I'm not really sure.
I would at least try and fuck around with that.

>>52585106
anyone?
I will not be pushing it further than 4,4 maybe, and the one pci slot is use the my r9 280x

>>52587830
Coming into the discussion late but you have already provided enough proof to show it is not your problem. Your ISP has some fucked up routing configuration.

How to fix:
>call ISP
>tell them you are having issues and to properly track you will be writing down and recording the conversation
>you don't need to actually record but DO write down the name of the person helping you and a call back number if you can get one.
>explain that when trying to connect to <insert whatever> servers you experience a severe drop in connection speed and a spike in ping.
>they will say "okay well lets try some diagnostic shit"
>you have fun for an hour doing mind numbing tasks and it doesn't help at all
>after they have exhausted everything say you would like to escalate this to tier 2
>say "I would like a tracking number for this issue as well as a call back number that will not route me through the automated system."
>call back every day and request a status update and after 5 days request another additional escalation
>after probably a week or two of this you should now know the exact reason or have the issue fixed.

Or I could be totally wrong and its just the shitty server you are trying to connect to. What do I know?

Is it possible under windows 2012 r2 to replace drives for bigger ones one by one from a striped mirror?

>>52588109

It's possible it might be the server cause others show normal ping. But why out of the blue like this? It was fine yesterday. Seems a little too coincidental I'd build a PC and the server shits itself for just me. Everyone else currently connected is fine.

Hook up old PC and see if its the same? If so its your new build. If not ISP.
If build, likely a friend fucking with you.

>>52588420
Try customize.org

Alright so I think I fucked up
I have a blue yeti mic, pic related is the cable. It's been plugged in for more than a few weeks no problem, however today while I was downloading Visual studio it caused a USB power surge, giving me a notification. Now when it's plugged in it somehow turns off my keyboard and my mouse.
I know the USB is fine, as I tested it, but I don't know if the cable is fried or the mic itself.
