Better, but if you are getting an 1150 mobo, at least get the i7 haswell, otherwise just get skylake, at least you'll get HEVC hardware decoding support

The R4/R5 are good cases, there's just not really a reason to buy such a big ass case if you are installing a uATX mobo and a single SSD

Found a wired Xbox 360 controller on Ebay for 10€

Questions:
- It is not marked as "for PC", do I need an adapter to usb? Will I have other problems like incompatible drivers for non-"for PC"?
- "left LB sometimes stuck" - is this easily fixable?

Otherwise looks like it is in great condition

>>52642214

I've been using that and it's been causing memory problems for some reason

>>52642224

>>52642140
>>52641932
why does this niggas posts keep getting deleted?

Im trying to find a good computer monitor that can play console games well, such as the ps3 and maybe 4 if I decide to buy one. The reason why would prefer a monitor over a small tv is because I am also looking into building a pc in the future, so it could come in handy.

So ive been doing research, and I think I have come to the conclusion that I need a monitor that does 60Hz and probably IPS, as those seem to handle colors the best. I dont play fps games so higher refresh rates probably wouldnt matter for me.

Do you guys have any recommended go-to brands? Normally I would turn to Asus but all of their reviews are describing how horrible their customer service and replacement program is, like with this particular monitor:

So what would you guys recommend for my situation? Are Ben Q monitors any good? Acer? Maybe Asus? My budget is small, $250 is probably my max.

>>52642240
>It does little more then have better compression

no shit

>No one is using it or will use it till it heavily outways 264

Sceners are already releasing in it. It's true that the compression ratio is not much better than 264 at this point but any bandwidth that is saved is like gold to any streaming company so I expect adoption won't be too far off. I just don't think it's a good idea to drop $1K on a machine that can't hardware encode/decode the next major codec

Is the Evo enough to cool this beast? I don't intend to OC it right out of the gate.

>>52642282
>>IPS:Dont bother with it, to many issues

This is probably why that particular monitor had so many bad reviews. Asus seems to be hit or miss these days.

What do you think of this monitor?

The only immediate downside I see are that it runs 144Hz and consoles are 60Hz.

If by many, you mean one. Backlight bleeding is easily fixed by applying light pressure to the screen or tightening the back screws. Worst case, return it. Almost all of them are 5ms and below now too.

60hz 1080 IPS monitor with a 2ms response time, which is pretty uncommon at that price point for an IPS

I want to send a GET request and operate on that data without having to run a server. Is this possible?

I was thinking of using PHP or Javascript to send this request but is that possible without running a server? I know that I can use the below in Python to get what I need without running a server:

response = urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request("URL", headers={"Key": "Value"}))

That one looks pretty neat. kind of large though. Do you have first hand experience with it?

>>52642326
It looks fine to me from stats and reviews.
It doesnt only support 144 but 120 and 60 as well
so a console connecting will pick up on it and change it accordingly

>>52642494
I've had it for a year, needed a little but of calibration after unboxing, but otherwise it's been perfect. The plastic border outside the panel is about an inch thick, so yeah it's pretty big.
>>52642489
Open up an all back screen/image for maximum clarity in a dark room. Notice the strongest points of bleeding and apply light pressure with your finger directly to the panel.

Oh ok, that's what I figured but I couldnt tell. I will keep this one in mind. I am slightly worried about the tn panel, but if I can tilt it downwards and upwards then it shouldnt be a big deal (seeing that I change my seating position constantly.)

i guess it's not really a huge deal, i'm just making an eve alt account. oh well.

any suggestions on what to use besides yahoo, gmail, or zoho? security or freedoms is not a problem; ease of creation is the priority and the big names make you jump through a lot of hoops.

So, ncmpcpp uses a fifo stream for its really cool looking visualizers that desyncs within five fucking seconds.
Pavucontrol has a little volume monitor that's presumably using some stream or other to make the little bar move up and down.

why the fuck is desync a thing?

what do you mean? do you want to have a webpage run a GET request and do something with it when someone loads the page? you can do that with javascript without a server, though it will all be clientside and not secure.

>>52641813
I see no reason why it wouldn't work

Oh, cool. I'm not worried about security it's just a stupid little thing I want to make with a friend. XMLHttpRequest right?

I don't game much. How much longer can I use this build? I'd like to go to graduate school for bioinformatics, so I'd potentially need to do some performance-intensive stuff for homework/lab work...though I could probably just submit the job to a cluster.

I fucked up my HDD partitions when trying to install ubuntu, now I'm stuck with 5 different parts of different sizes and formats, ntfs, fat32 and ext4. What the fuck do I do?

>>52645144
Well in case anyone was wondering, an initramfs is an in-memory file system used to mount root. It's used to make sure your init system has everything it needs for booting, like encryption tools if you have encrypted partitions. Since kernel 2.6, an initramfs is always used, so that answers the part about getting rid of it

I'm running Arch on an Asus C200 Chromebook using John Lewis' Baytrail ROM. I have no audio, but this is a known issue for this ROM on this device. What's confusing me is that I had gotten it working playing with the switches in the xfce mixer and then had to reboot to install a login manager. Now of course it's not working and I don't appear to be getting anywhere with just trial and error with the switches.

Any advice for how to troubleshoot this?

What epub reader does /g/ use?

I've been using the 4chanx extension for years and switched over to ccd0's version when the first one was discontinued.

https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x

I'd been blaming the crashes and memory leaks on the firefox developers, but after finally going and tracking down the problem it turns out that the greasemonkey extension that 4chanx relies on is shitting the bed.

Anyone still use 4chanx here, or is it time to finally accept the native 4chan extension's limits?

Okay I need help I've been stressing over this for a week now trying to figure it out.

I have a i5-2400, 1gb HD 7770, 8gb RAM, corsair 750W psu. The mobo is some foxconn h67 shit (i think its some cheap shit)

This rig was working FINE no issues, but I bought a better GPU, a r9 380 saphire edition.

I simply replaced my old one with it - no signal. Tried everything, uninstalling old drivers, disabling integrated graphics, installing new drivers first..
The fans spin (not as fast as the single spin of my old GPU though) but no signal.

The GPU is plugged in properly including the two 6pins from PSU, ive checked this a million times.

I'm out of ideas and kind of rage bought a different motherboard since my instincts told me that was it. It's arriving tomorrow, if it still doesnt work what do I try then???

I have tried two PSU's and bought the corsair one to make sure it wasnt the PSU. im out of ideas, it has to be the mobo right?

I recently rebuilt my kernel on FreeBSD 10.2 to add IPSec support. I also have a bunch of jails that are running that I'm managing with ezjail. I have yet to actually install the new kernel and do a reboot.

My question is in two parts:

1. Do I need to update my basejail and use mergemaster on all the subsequent jails for my current jails to work after the move to the new kernel?

2. If I do, should I use the process outlined here (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-ezjail.html) to go about doing it?

Thanks <3

>>52646817
Have you considered sending back the other parts to test for defects? just claim it doesn't work, worst thing they can do is either find something wrong, or send it back to you. right?

>>52646801
Doesn't seem to.

I'm using the convert command line in bash to make from a several set of images a single pdf. My question is: can I select all the images in a particular folder without having to name them all in the command line? I know that I can use * but most files i use have different names. Is it possible to use * with extensions (like .jpg)?

Also, how can I rename a bunch of files at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

I don't understand. I have big flashing red X's on my screen telling me I am vulnerable and need to update, but I don't click on them. I go to the control panel because I want to see if the computer needs to restart. But I can't seem to be able to update. Are you saying the flashing red X's are false flags?

>>52646847
I dont think so, I forgot to mention but this is the 2nd time to happen ( i got gifted a r9 280 last year and had the exact same issue, we refunded it assuming it was broken) but now its happened again, theres no way im unlucky enough to have 2 bad GPUs right?

>>52646841
Just send each part of my pc back to each manufacturer?

>>52646920
hell yeah there is that's the fucking gpu market. They'll take it, do their best to repair it if it's cost effective, and sell it off to third parties.

>>52646920
It happens more often than you think really, I'd wait for the new mobo you have in the way and if that doesn't work, send it back.

>>52646932
No, the main ones you haven't properly tested, like the GPU. You said you have replaced the mobo and the PSU if I'm not mistaken. Maybe you could benefit from sending back the GPU to see if it is defective.

>>52643109
it might be more cost effective to get those now, then upgrade in a couple years once zen isn't brand new and has gone down in price a bit

Recently my router has begun emitting this super weird noise every now and then. The closest I can describe it is an Atari 2600 sound effect, like an explosion. It grows in pitch as it goes for a second or two and then stops. It doesn't seem to affect its performance but it's rather weird. Any ideas?

Does it have a fan or anything attached to it? What model router is it?

I have Xfinity Comcast. My current home network uses their standard modem/gateway connect downstairs. I hardwired a router to that gateway that sits upstairs that I configured as an access point. Yet, my wifi speeds are still pretty shit and drop/hang sometimes, despite being maybe 20 feet from the AP. I probably average 20-30MBPS most of the time. Did I do something wrong or would utilizing powerline tech be better?

>>52646909
You ARE vulnerable and need to update. No more updates are available for XP. You should update your Windows to something that isn't XP.

If for some reason you must run XP, don't connect it to the Internet. And if you must, don't web browse from it or run anything on it other than software you absolutely trust.

Can someone explain wordpress to me? Why do people use it when their are better frameworks and library's? Because its easy to make a simple blog or static webpage?

>>52647064
It's likely a coil -- routers don't contain speakers, and coil noise is not uncommon. The sort of coil noise I'm used to is a very high pitched whine that warbles in frequency as power use varies.

For example my current laptop has an SSD and runs cool enough that the fan is usually off, so it produces no sound apart from this weird high pitch noise. I have to be someplace silent to hear it, but when I do it's annoying. It'll chirp and warble right at the top of my hearing range when I do things like move the mouse around or if the CPU does something.

>>52647203
You have to trick them into a DCC session. They'll connect directly to you (or vise versa), revealing their IP. Of course it also reveals your IP to them.

Apart from that you could try to crack whatever hash the IRCd you're on uses to munge hostnames/IPs. Or become an ircop since they can see IPs.

>>52647179
still not showing up. Not sure if it matters but the OS i want to add is on a different hdd.

>>52647218
Because they like the features that wordpress presents?

>>52647238
no, it doesn't matter, it scans all available disks, even usb hdd and the like

>>52647162
Drop to a boot prompt in GRUB and experiment with different devices in there. Its tab completion can be quite educational, and it's way quicker and easier than experimenting with the commands in the config, failing, and rebooting into Linux to try again.

Also, make sure your Windows install is actually bootable how you have it set up. I seem to recall Windows needing to have at least its System Reserved partition on the first HDD.

You might be able to get around this by remapping the drives in GRUB.

>>52643209
Have you tried burning any config files in your home directory that might be hanging around?

>>52647287
i'd say getting os-prober working would be a better solution
that way if he does add more systems or move the windows hdd or w/e, just updating the grub config normally (grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg) will pick up any changes

windows does need to be functional, but it doesn't need to be on the first hdd or partition
it's the windows bootloader that os-prober looks for and that grub loads

worth paying 20 extra bucks for a g502 over a g402?
(80aud compared to 60aus, incl shipping)

>>52647338
Yes, getting os-prober working right is preferable, but right now it doesn't look like it's happening. I do suspect that's because his Windows is not actually bootable.

Maybe he should use a Windows install disc to run bcdboot and rebuild the boot files.

>>52647365

>>52647338
>>52647287
Finally got it! I used a boot repair tool and then tried the menu entry I created in >>52647162 and it worked

>>52647396
Great. So your Windows was not actually bootable, and now it is.

You should try with update-grub / grub-mkconfig now and see if os-prober will pick it up. That way you're not stuck with a GRUB config you can't auto update.

>>52647140
I don't get it. I'm on the internet with Windows XP right now, seems to be working fine. A little slow with all these things flashing on my screen but it does what I need it to do.

I have 2 Physical hard drives(1TB) each, 1 is used mostly for my Windows 10 and programs and the other is for file storage (installers, backups). I want to have a small partition to install a linux distro (currently leaning on Mint). What would be the best way of doing this without reformatting or moving large amount of files?

>>52647413
Still not picking it up

>>52647429
99% sure this is a joke, but I've dealt with users who legit make this argument.

In case someone reading here is doing that: Stop. Get an OS that is still supported and install a decent antivirus if it's Windows. All that flashing shit is viruses and malware, almost certainly with plenty more that isn't visible, quietly using your computer to spread itself around the internet. YOU are literally the reason there is so much viruses and spam flying around.

>>52647480
You're right man it was a joke. The probability that your post actually helped someone is pretty slim, but good hearted.

Is there a way with 4chan X to bind a keyboard shortcut or some Tab trick to get to post a picture from url without using the mouse to click the icon?

>>52647542

>>52647600
This at least works in Windows. From the box where you type your post:
tab (moves to captcha text field - you ARE using text captchas, right?)
tab (moves to the Browse button)
space (clicks it)
ctrl+v (pastes URL into the file selector dialog)
enter (accepts it -- it will pause for a moment while it downloads it to a temp file)

>>52647616
Eh, this is for normal 4chan, without using extensions.

>>52647616
this works but it is slower.

I don't mean just more clicks, it literally takes longer to load the pic

I confused myself reading too many answers from google before I wrote this post. I'm installing a new motherboard for the first time and I'm having trouble installing windows for the new computer since I'm using my old HDD. Do I need to completely format the HDD just do a fresh install of windows? I have the windows copy I'm using on a flash drive but since it's already on the HDD but not registered with the motherboard I'm not sure what do

>>52647663
What exactly does it do if you just put the HDD in the machine?
What Windows version?
OEM? Retail? Volume license? Pirated?
Was one mobo's SATA in IDE mode and the other AHCI? (yes you can deal with this without reinstalling)

I've pulled a HDD from an HP laptop with AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU and stuffed it into a Dell laptop with Intel CPU and GPU. The pirated Win7 on it booted up though in craptastic graphics mode and without wifi until I ran Windows Update to get more sensible drivers.

>>52641688
so /g/ I setup my first github repo and got a testing branch setup, now if I wanted to merge testing to master of make a pull request is there any way to make it only merge some lines of code?

When I put in the new MB with the old HDD it fails to start windows and then take me to system repair manager. and it's a pirated version of windows 7 I'm loading from the flash drive

hi.
I have a moto e 2015 (otus) with cyanogenmod installed.
I'm not using it atm, so I power it off and I leave it in its box.
the thing is, every time I wanna use I take it out of the box and to my surprise it won't turn on because the battery is empty.
so is there some type of "suspend" going on when you power off cyanogenmod, or is it botnet?
I am worried.
the battery works fine when you use it. and it charges with no problems. but it gets discharged on its own if you power off the phone.

>>52647728
Not sure if it exists on _merge_ level, but you can _commit_ piecemeal - see adding to staging by hunks:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/1085191/118520

Once you've selected parts that you want, you can commit them and then merge that commit to master.

>>52647763
>>52647689 again
To expand a little because I'm about to go to bed:
Since it's pirated, you won't have any activation issues.

Check whether the old mobo was in IDE SATA mode and the new one is in AHCI mode, or vise versa.

SATA IDE to AHCI: Set the new mobo to the same setting the old one used, boot Windows, and do this (assuming old mode is IDE): http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/987378-how-to-switch-from-ide-to-ahci-without-repairingreinstalling-windows/
Now you can reboot and put the BIOS back in AHCI mode and Windows will install the right drivers.

Did you try letting repair manager do its thing? It's not likely but it MIGHT work.

Failing that, I guess reinstall.

>>52647786
thanks anon

What program for Linux should I use to write a Windows 7 ISO onto a USB drive?

>>52647799
I don't know about the SATA/AHCI off hand, I'll have to check that.
I did just realize though, if I just set the boot order to read the USB first could I just run the installer and have it overwrite everything? And no, repair manager did nothing

I just tried debian testing (i set the repos to stretch instead of the current jessie) and it feels way better than debian stable.
This is my desktop pc and not a server, i just use debian because i wanted a 100% open source system.
Is there any reason i should avoid debian testing?
Sure, i saw some bugs but nothing serious, while on debian stable it keep crashing when i use chromium.
People say testing is less secure, but i don't run random scripts from the internet.
TL;DR any reasons to use debian stable instead of debian testing?

>>52648107
Honestly, as a regular user the only thing I can think of would be that the testing version is more likely to crash or not work properly.

My laptop had 4Gb of RAM.
I add a 1Gb stick of RAM I kept for some reason after my EEEPC died inside the other laptop.

My friends I casually told the story laugh at me saying that my 5GB of RAM setup will perform worse than if I didn't add the stick.
When asked for proof, they just sucked each-other's dicks calling me an autist instead of providing proof.

Are they right or should I piss in they backpacks ?

Buy a Fury or a Nano instead of that soon-to-be-gimped 980.
They'll cut the price soon, and one year from now they will probably perform 30% better than the 980.
Except for the gpu it's a good conf, but where is ram?

>>52648167
If you're on a 32 bit OS you won't be able to use more than 4GB.
There's also the argument of symmetrical dual-channel mode being better for some applications, and as far as I know this needs the sticks to be of the same size and speed.

I dont get CPUs.
I have a i5 2400. Is it shit? how shit? do I need to upgrade for gaming? I always see fucking i7-4700s and shit like that mentioned which sound way better

>>52648909
Most games aren't that CPU intensive, you should be fine, as long as you have a decent graphics card.

You can always get a better heatsink and overclock it, if you find your cpu maxing out when playing gaymes.

>>52648843
>If you're on a 32 bit OS you won't be able to use more than 4GB.
any 32bit Pentium (1) Pro and up supports PAE, which expands the address space to 36bits, allowing for 64G ram, programs can only use up to 4G individually, but that won't matter, since naturally there's no 32bit programs that will try
the only reason people never mention this is because of windows, consumer versions don't allow PAE
use linux or windows server 2003

Here's what I have and what I want to do:

I want to increase the size of the OS Label partition by around 100GB, but when I try resizing it, it only lets me shrink it. Delete the Data Label partition and merge the new unused space with the Unallocated partition. Is this possible?

I made this diagram, so I can get /g/ to decide how I should mount my fans.

Left of the pic is front of case.
Blue box is a 240mm radiator and fans
Grey boxes are 140mm fans, 3 total.

I was thinking that the top one had better airflow, but the bottom one was better for dust, because of positive pressure. Am i right?

My gf needs a laptop or something like that, maybe even a pc or laptop/tablet 2in1 thing

The thing is, she really ONLY needs it for stuff like word/excel and light browsing, printing and if possible watching online videos sometimes

if it's possible she would like to be able to take it home and connect it to a keyboard, mouse and maybe a bigger screen, I think it's called workstation

Anything I could buy her for about 500€?

Or just buy her a pc?
I don't know what to buy her
Or is there an even better alternative

I wanna thank the anon who helped me with the PS3 audio problem. AVmulti to minijack worked like a charm

>>52649272
the partition you want to expand and the unallocated space must be next to each other. in your case sda7 is in the way. move it past the unallocated space.

Looking to pick up a home server used for cheap. It'll do twice a week computer backups, some personal cloud storage, maybe even Plex evenually. Anyway I think this is all I need. My stupid question is, how much power will this fucker draw? I can't afford a giant increase every month. Also will I need to buy a huge rack for it if I buy it?

>>52649272
isn't it obvious by the way the partitions are arranged at the top bar
if you want to increase sda4 you have to move sda5 and sda7 are far right
to increase sda5 you also have to move sda7 right of the unallocated space
this can be done though from usb gparted as sda7 is your / partition

>>52649391
So did i

>>52649329
>>52649392
I understand now, I was overcomplicating things in my head for some reason, probably scared of fucking up more, but I think I get it now.

>>52649391
think of a balloon -- big bang is at the center, galaxy on the balloon sphere
everyone is moving away from the same point
that is our galactic speed is what you wanna know
see http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/PatriciaKong.shtml

>>52649418
if you were using mbr there was a chance of fucking up since altering the order could have possible make boot impossible
but gpt I think is more safe because of the unique id given to its partition
nevertheless consider using a live distro with gparted so if anything goes wrong to easily change boot config

>>52649441
Yeah I'm going to use a live usb after applying these changes, I'll half Ubuntu's partition size, keep 3 different 75GB partitions for other distros and a big partition as a place to dump anything that's not OS specific.

>>52649421
Yes, that's what I was looking for, thanks

Is there any difference between an 'external' SSD and one you'd connect directly to your mobo?

I want to get one to install my OS on, but all my USB ports are 2.0, so it feels like keeping it external would be a waste (other than having an entire OS stuck on 2.0 transfter rates).

Do I just buy whatever SSD I like? Can I just fit pretty much whatever SSD I like on my MOBO?

>>52641688

So I've got ubuntu, first linux os installed, how do I do things like change the launchbar color or move the statusbar>?

Do I have to install a different desktop environment or another program?

>>52649518
If you just have stock ubuntu, with the unity desktop environment, you're doing it wrong.
I recommend that you go straight for installing XFCE, the desktop environment. It's very customizable, modular, lightweight *and* newbie friendly.
The easiest way to get XFCE and ubuntu is just to install Xubuntu, which is exactly that. Far less hassle than putting xfce onto stock ubuntu (assuming you have put no effort into stock ubuntu yet).

>>52649514
>difference
speed
>whatever SSD
most SSDs connects with SATA; the same interface used by HDDs, so yes
(I suppose you speaking of desktop; else also pay attention to what size will be)

>>52649514
Don't do this. Running an OS from usb 2.0 is slow and painful. You wouldn't even be able to get the full speed of a traditional HDD.

>>52649580
>>52649588

So I should get any SATA-connectible SSD, got it.
My MOBO has like 6 SATA ports, but I've rad on some indian tutorial video somewhere that the MOBO can only handle 1 main drive at a time.
Is that bullshit?

As far as the installation goes, I just connect power and SATA, and the MOBO is going to install the SSD on its own, right?

>>52649571

so quicker to download a new os (xubuntu) than sudo apt-get install xfce4

or does it not work like that?

>>52649518
if you want a lot of customization then yes you need another DE
if you need a few changes then

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

probably that will have the options you want

>>52649254
There is no such example.
If you have only one stick of ram you can add another identical and increase both capacity and performance, if you add a different stick (but AFAIK they must have the same timings, e.g. CL11) only capacity will be increased.

MSI 970/4690k user here. I have my GTA V set to high/very high at most settings but I'm still getting drops down to 20fps and a 40fps average, even though multiple benchmark tests for my system suggest I'm supposed to get 60 fps EASILY on 1080p at Ultra. What the fuck is going on?

When you plug a display in using VGA or DVI etc. the computer knows what type of display it is and it's max resolution and refresh rate. How does it get this info? Is there a standard for sending it or does vary based on the interface and what's it called?

>>52649602
mind linking the video? if you have 6 ports you can have 6 hdd/sdd
does he mean that you choose from the uefi/bios the disk where your system boots from?

"Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks."

Is this fixable without destroying data on the disk? (backing up all the data, changing partition table, and then putting all the data back counts as destroying it)

Is there a media player that allows me to open up multiple webm, GIF and picture files and put them in like a gridded layout inside a single application?

I cant enjoy porn when I'm looking at the same thing, I need multiple sources of stimuli. I often just open a bunch of tabs or put pictures in slideshow mode but its a bad experience. I'd love to have like a 4x5 grid mix of pictures, webms and gifs playing so I can just look around the screen.

If not, is anybody interested in software like this because I can probably have it completed for windows within the next few days.

and this as a cable

I'm all set? All I'm missing is a power cable, but I can't find one that goes from the power supply to the SSD. All the power 'endings' from the PSU are already busy, so I'd need something to add more, but I don't know how to search for that.

Are you using an ITX?

>>52649681
no; changing the partition table erases the current tree--that is everything
but since you're using an mbr table you can force windows to boot in bios mode
see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn336946.aspx

>>52649796
Umm, no?

can someone tell me that shell command which tells you stats alongside with logo of the distro in ascii?

>>52649899
nevermind it was screenfetch

>>52649773
you'll need a sata power connector too
are there any ports left to your PSU to connect it?

If I right click>copy a jpg, paste it in paint, then save it as a png, will the copy>paste cause the image to degrade?

>>52649953
copy pasting no but saving it will

>>52649935
There is plenty of ports left IN THE PSU.
But all I can find are SATA cable extenders that take having an available SATA connector available for granted.

What I need is a cable that has the circles-and-squares rectangular connector on the PSU side, and a SATA power plug on the other. But I can't find it.

>>52650058
Even saving it a png? It'll still do the jpg compression thing?

>>52650077
oops sry; png is indeed lossless so you'll be fine
in which case, why not save directly to png?

>>52650096
Oh alright, thank you.
I can't remember why, but a while ago on another board, I mentioned that I changed the extension when saving it and a few people called me retarded.

Want to replace the fan on this old-ass Corsair Air Series A50 with a 120mm Noctua. Does anyone know if it's possible w/o reseating the entire thing? Is it some special fan I can't actually replace?

Where can I find the latest RUU for my htc one m9 (I got it back to stock with a twrp backup) (himauhl, HTC__031, Belgium) the ota keeps failing for some reason (happens to some others with fully stock phones, so it's not my fault).

How in the fuck do I get just "test" with this regex expression?

My string is: "test.jpg.gif"
and I want just "test"

Here is my regex expression:

/^(.*)\.(jpg|gif).*$/

>>52650122
lossy to lossy will degrade the quality
lossy to lossless will save what you have at the moment

>>52650161
If the original fan is 120mm too you shouldn't have any problems.
