Any way to run the Windows sysprep thing /after/ the hardware has been changed? I can't go back to the old hardware to run it and I would want to avoid a clean install.

Google sites take forever to load (possibly because of Google DNS.) watdo?

>>52931227
If safe mode doesn't let you into Windows, you really can't

>>52931237
Stop using IPv6

>>52931285
Aaaaaaaaaand that worked. What's up with that shit?

Just bought a brand new 2TB Hitachi HDD but it makes a constant squeaky noise that sounds like crickets on a hot night. Can I shut it up somehow?

>>52931302
Probably a combination of your ISPs backbone routers not fully supporting IPv6, and Google prioritizing IPv4 traffic. The world's not ready for full IPv6

>>52931309
You could muffle it at your own discretion. As long as the disk is okay you should leave it alone

Best image converter?
Specifically bmp to png but more functionality is nice.

Best PNG/image compressor?
One that doesn't remove quality at all.

>>52931388
What OS?

>>52931421
Sorry, Windows 7.
I'm sure linux has a way better one but I'm not at that point yet. Which is why I'm in this thread.

>>52931434
Just use paint. Has both compression and file support.

>>52931448
Batch image converter/compressor.
I have hundreds of images.

>>52931458
Image magic on Linux. I am sure you can get it to work on windows as well

>>52931458
Ah you're one of those. Off the top of my head I couldn't give a specific program. Just use a free program like

https://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkimageconver/

I'm sure it works nicely

Got a new GPU. My GPU fans are not spinning at all at 80 degrees Celsius. Just upgraded drivers too...

>>52931485
That's a hardware fault not software, Even at 0% load the fans should have a minimum of 30%. The flag might be blocked, unplugged, or damaged

>YEN symbol instead of slashes

I think i found your problem

>>52931522
pnggaunlet is good for compressing but I don't think it converts images.

>>52931531
Nah, my locale is set to nippon.
I guess I can change it back but typing \ converts to the yen symbol.

>>52931533
>No image quality is lost — only file size
>Converts JPG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP files to PNG
There are also alternatives listed in alternativeto

Just tried and I'm able to control it with msi afterburner.

>>52931542
I guess I have a different problem then. None of the converters work for some reason.

>>52931557
Did you disable the fans ever? I haven't seen passive cooling like that in a while.

>>52931558
No the other anon is right. Your slashes are yen symbols. It'll hinder all programs. I don't even want to know why you have that

>>52931578
>I don't even want to know why you have that
Like I said, japanese locale. It shouldn't be an issue and all my other programs work fine.
Just converters don't.

The yen symbols act as \.

I'll change it and try right now though.

Guys, I need to get a new router. My current belkin has a very bugged 5ghz channel and just won't connect or connects with no internet all the time.

My needs are modest. I need it to go about 75 feet max on it's 2.4ghz. I need it to be reliable. AC would be nice but not totally necessary. I need it to be able to handel 100mbps which is the max my internet connection can go. I need it to reliably connect to 8 devices max. An I need it to be under 150 dollars.

I definitely don't need any fancy setting or custom firmware. My network is modest. The craziest thing I do is have all my computers on a home group and sometimes need port forwarding for a few games.

>>52931578
>>52931601
Nevermind finally found one that works.

>>52931623
Good to hear

>>52931617
I've had a wonderful experience with TP-Link routers. Great for ac through all three floors to my house.

>>52931617
Any netgear router.
N600 is extremely solid. Mine lasted 6 years.
The UI when logging in to the router makes port forwarding easy and other stuff.

Whats your budget?

>>52931617
I'll add that I'm asking because I've just had bad luck with shitty routers that drop connections.

I'm not even remotely in a wifi populated area. I can see one other router that's not mine when I select my wifi, 2 if I'm upstairs.

>>52931578
Nope I just got it. Weird..

>>52931643
I've been looking at the archer c7 actually. I just don't know shit and user reviews are scary. I cann't tell if the people are idiots or a router is shitty.

>>52931646
150 is ideal US but I CAN go over it if it matters much.

>>52931660
Is auto mode enabled in MSI AB?

>>52931662
If it's a C7 AC1750 that would be my current router. I'm sure the N variant is also decent.

>>52931662
N600 is only 70USD on Amazon.

Most the negative reviews are for ''bad customer service'' which has literally nothing to do with the product. If you know how to setup a fucking router and login to it, it's perfect.

But who fucking knows.

>>52931227
>>52931271
Safe mode would bluescreen too but I figured it out. I've booted a Linux LiveCD (I had Arch image on a flash drive), downloaded all possible drivers for the new motherboard and booted Windows Repair, from then I ran the cmd.exe and used DISM (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd371719%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) to install all of the drivers, after that Windows successfully booted with brand new hardware.

I just installed 4chanx for Firefox and I'd like to know what can I do to make replies appear as smaller boxes above the original post instead of scrolling down the page until where the actual reply is located

>>52931662
Also to add on top of the TP link recommendation I'll list a few other routers to give you some options

Netgear R6300 or R6400

ASUS RT-AC68U or 66U

D-Link DIR-868L

If you could go over 150 USD you could always get a Google onhub. Those guys are tight as fuck but costly

>>52931668
yes that's the one. the ac1750.

>>52931675
I actually don't know what people mean when they say set up a router. What it means to me is updating the firmware, changing it's name and password, and forwarding ports if needed for the occasion.

>>52931668
Yup auto is on and my fans are running perfectly now

How do i download all webms in a thread?

>>52931699
Plugging it in and making it work.

That's how you setup a router. If you can login to it, get it updated, and forward whatever ports, you're smarter than 95% of the people who buy routers to begin with.

>>52931704

Seagate barracuda has the highest failrate out of any drive in existence. Switch to their normal line or go with WD blue/black.
And switch out your mobo.

Otherwise pretty ok.

>>52931858
>Seagate barracuda has the highest failrate out of any drive in existence
Bullshit. Why don't you throw out your meme graph while you're at it

>>52931869
I will if you want me to.
Seagate barracuda, specifically barracuda, is shit.

By any other fucking brand but barracuda.

>>52931883
Specifically Seagate had one line of bad 3TB drives in 2012 which lasted mere months. The fact you can't even differ between something that happened four years ago and today's standards is pathetic

>>52931904
Seagate is fine.
Normal seagate.

Seagate BARRACUDA is awful and has always been awful.

Please read my fucking posts again you dumb cunt. The Barracuda line of Seagate drives is shit
Normal Seagate drives are fine, and as of 2k15 they were better than WD.

>>52931883
"any drive in existence" Sound like some bullshit an idiot would say
You could never, ever, get every drive in existence and objectively compare them.
Aside from that, I've had a 6tb (2x3) raid 0 array running since 2012 without an issue. All barracuda.

>>52931941
Of course, it's in raid 10, with WD black drives as the other 6 terabytes.

>>52931941
That's nice.
That doesn't change the fact that barracuda has one of the highest fail rates out of most drives.

I'm not sure why they keep making them. Their normal drives work fine.

>>52931938
>>52932009
>normal drives
Barracuda is Seagate normal line of desktop drives. Stop spering.

>>52932021
Yeah, no. There is a difference.

>>52931839
>>52931858
Thanks you guys. I'll definitely make sure to change the motherboard. I thought Asrock was part of ASUS, but it looks like they split. Is Gigabyte no good?

I just noticed that Newegg has some promos for HDDs, so I might just shell out the money for one with more storage.

I want to root my nexus 5 running Marshmellow MMB29S without fucking reformatting my phone. Is there a way to do so, if so please help

>>52932135

Is buying windows on reddit legit? I'm an australian pc shop owner and can offer better prices by buying them for 20 usd instead of 140 australian dollars, but I don't want to get in trouble.

>What do you mean by recycled? Like keys pulled from laptop stickers and shit?
I'd assume the 8 keys are pulled from registry, but yes they keys would come from either a box or sticker. The main point is they are unused, and only you will have access to the key

>>52932187
Actually look up some facts next time, you nigger.
All of seagates drives have a high failure rate when compared to the competition.

>>52932238
I'd be weary of keys pulled with a key puller, as they are often placeholder numbers that Microsoft uses, and are different from the key on the back of the laptop. (at least on OEM devices)

>>52932272
Honestly I was talking out of my ass for the most part. I'm sure the keys are used, but the means on where they came from (ie a box with a broken CD, or a busted laptop but salvaged HDD, etc..) you would have to ask the seller. I doubt he will ever tell, but..

What code names will Canonical assign to new Ubuntu releases after they exhausted the alphabet?

i've never killed a cpu from overvolting to get a good overclock, i was at like 1.55 volts on a cpu that was stock in the 1.2-1.3 range.

is this cpu dead? i pulled cmos battery and still i've got nothing.

how is ssh using keys more secure than ssh using passwords?
cant an attacker just sniff the key the same way they sniff a password?

How do I get rid of the red lines next to my posts in 4chanx?

>>52933735
Attacker can't sniff neither keys no passwords.
Attacker can keep guessing passwords until he gets the right one, and due to size of keys, he can't do this with properly generated keys.
Attacker can do a man in the middle attack and get into your connection with password - but not with key.

If I were to get a large monitor (27"-34" UHD) would this mean I could keep my DPI at 100% and my resolution at 3200x1800 constantly and not have everything microscopic?

So i built a new computer today, problem is reinstalling windows 10 the product code doesnt work. Knew this would happen, because i upgraded from windows 7...Seeing as i got the code using a program to find it, and that i no longer have the windows 7 code from the install disk any more, would the code work if i installed windows 7 then upgraded? I'm not sure if its the same code that i used when i built the first computer.

Thinking about finally upgrading my pc with an ssd. Is a 120gb drive enough for win7(or 10, depending on what the future brings) and a couple of programs and/or gaymes? Can i just use something like acronis true image to migrate my shit from my hdd or is a complete reinstall necessary? What are the best brands? Is the meme about losing data after a certain amount of time true? I go on lots of 2 or more week vacations so i need something that doesn't need to be fixed every few weeks or so.

I'm trying make things happen with C++, but I'm just asking about the general technique approach.

I know that C++ doesn't have many HTML parsers, hence I'm wondering about converting HTML to XML and then parsing that using pugixml, but I'm not fully sure if this approach is as efficient than, say, manually parsing the HTML.

Question: My Start Menu wont appear in Windows 10. What the fuck.

Answer: Your Start Menu app crashed. Restarting the PC will fix it. However, Microsoft has this new shut down system, where the PC doesnt actually shut down; it sort of hibernates, and all the Windows Apps have their state saved. The solution is to shut down your PC by pulling the plug, waiting a while, and plugging it back in. Yes, that the fucking solution. No, you cant turn off the option for Microsoft's new shut down, because the advanced Power Options crash at the same time as the Start Menu and it wont let you. No, you cant reinstall or relaunch the app manually, because LOL MICROSOFT.

Fuck.

I have a GIF I want to convert to a webm to use on a website. The problem is that I want the background of the webm to be transparent. Since to my knowledge webm doesn't support transparency, I figured that I could just make the video's background the same color as my site's background. Then I tried to edit the GIF's background, and I realized that GIF as a format doesn't support the color I need. Editing the background after I've converted the GIF to a webm seems to be pretty difficult as well.

How the fuck do I do this?

>>52935258
Looks fine, but how do you build and install it on a windows system?

b is a 64 bit address

c is a 32 bit int

>>52936335
Aren't they both pointers?
Muh' lecture slides say both b and c are pointers to ints.

>>52936394

new int(5) creates a 32 bit int, I don't know but I guess the unused bits in the variable c are trimmed when it is assigned.

How do I,in bash, create a variable that included alpha numeric and special characters.
Currently it throws a bitch fit if they file name has any symbols.I've tried ""$var"" but it still isnt allowing the filename to pass

On clover v2, how do i go back to the old means of posting?

>>52936217
They are the same size, check

sizeof(b) == sizeof(c)

The difference is b points to stack memory while c points to heap memory.

Stack memory seems to start at high address range at your computer while heap begins at low address range

>>52940828
That's kind of true unless you already have even minor hearing damage. You can easily damage your hearing over long periods of time by slightly turning up the volume to compensate for your hearing damage that you probably don't yet know you've suffered.

Motherboards.

I've been trying to find an appropriate motherboard for a skylake xeon. From research it seems you need a c232 or c236 chipset in order for everything (incl ECC) to work properly.

Problem is i'm having difficulty finding a supplier which actually sells such motherboards in the UK. At best i've found supermicro boards for sale with c232/c236 and a single gigabyte atx board with a 232 chipset. Not really a great selection to be honest.

Naturally, if I look for boards which support skylake i3/i5/i7 there seem to be tons available from various manufacturers. What gives /g/? Should I wait a few more months for the home workstation market for skylake stuff to pick up?

I recently built a new pc for the first time.

The USB3.0 ports right next to them work fine.
Trying to update drivers through the device manager says I am up to date but I have trouble believing that.
What am I doing wrong?

Also one of my case fans makes a noise like it has baseball cards in its spokes when starting up but once at full speed it stops, is that fine?

Check your drivers for the 2.0 USBs. Also you probably have a ban fan.

Check your usb headers plug at the bottom of the mobo

I have Scheduled optimization on, is that a bad idea if I'm using an ssd (along with hdds).

1.55v? Are you retarded?
Holy fucking nigger, even 1.4v for extended periods of time can cause permanent damage.

If you want me to suggest something, I will, no problem, but this isn't exactly best price/performance

No, if they're not just shilling, it's because they understand that there are cards out there that perform the same for less power draw.
