The past few days I've had a problem where some websites randomly wouldn't load. Specifically ebay.com and a newspaper website. When I check isup.me it says the website works, and in fact I can access them from my phone but not my computer. Meanwhile, every other website works.
What could be the reason for this?

Hello, I haven't been on /g/ for years so my question is what are the advantages to using, say, linux mint or windows? The only games I play are occasionally Overwatch for a few minutes every other day and Factorio. I mostly browse the internet or occasional write. Is there any reason why I would want another OS?

Sup, I have been using python for numerical shit (mathfag) so there are a lot of programming principles I don't know. For example, I always see this shit when reading about python

I have my taskbar set to auto-hide, but when I pull something in full-screen, like a youtube video or Discord, or a video game, and then exit the full screen application the taskbar is then hidden behind everything. I can't move my mouse to the bottom of my screen to pull the taskbar back up anymore. The only fix is to minimize the application and click on my desktop or the task bar to bring it back to the front.

How the fuck do I fix this? It's been nearly a year and I can't figure it out.

>>59019487

I'm looking for a vim plugin, configuration, or keybind sequence that can make doing something like the attached video easier. I know Sublime has some similar feature allowing you to press TAB to switch between certain characters, to make for example filling out a text form easier, but I don't use Sublime.

Is there anything like this for vim? The video is just an example, I run into this situation all the time and could probably shave 50% of the time it takes something to do like this if I knew how to switch between these positions easier

I just got a new WiFi adapter (I think the brand was called Hiro or something), and it works fine for Internet browsing, but in games I'm getting a lot of rubber banding (basically lag-teleporting back and forth), even though my ping is normal. It was working OK with the old WiFi adapter besides the fact that it had to be taped to the side of the computer because it had no antenna, but my new one has two antennae so it should work. It happens in all online games but no singleplayer games, so it's not a local lag issue. If anyone can help that would be great, thanks.

you'd need to first get an audio output from your PS4, which you could get either from the optical out of the PS4 into a optical to 3.5 jack adapter or HDMI audio splitter.

then you could either use that audio out from the PS4 to mix it with some kind of mini audio mixer or mixamp or using some software on your computer such as Voicemeeter to play the PS4 jack in through the computer audio

the better option would probably be through a physical mixer as there'd probably be less delay

So the best manga browsing app for Android is perfect viewer, right? How can I prevent the manga from showing up when I open my image gallery, or can I not do that?

>>59025953
The native extension settings, including "disable native extension," are cookie based.

You know what people don't want from their browser? Completely changing the GUI overnight for no valid reason or breaking all of the extensions you use or integrating third party spyware.

Hmm, I've been doing some searching, and it appears that there are 'security only' rollups available:

Yes.

What are your temps idle and under stress?

>>59027538
A think layer across the entire length of the cpu.
You most likely didnt get full coverage with that meme bullshit.
Use a latex glove and spread a think layer across the cpu, enough to not see through it, but not enough for it to be a gunk at any point.
I've been doing the for 30 fucking years

>>59027558
Dot in the middle is more than enough.

Can I clean my CPU with ethanol rather than isopropanol?

>>59027575
Obviously not if his temps have been high since the beginning

>>59027558

This is bait, let the HSF spread it as you place it, never touch the paste yourself.

amd overdrive says 30-40 thermal margin whatever the fuck that means on idle, and under load its like 5-10 unless its like super heavy load then its on -5 till it dies.

Will charging my PSVita 1000 (AC Adaptor output 5V/1500mA) with a portable charger (Output 5V/2.4A) damage it? I don't know if the 1500mA & 2.4A part will damage the system and/or charger.

It's fine. Current is drawn by the load, it'll take only what it needs

>>59027631
Negative thermal margin = it's overheating.

>>59027832
how does one compile that?

>>59025508
Depends how deep you want to go with Excel. Things like VBA scripting are not supported by LibreOffice, it uses a different scripting language.
Most of the functions are there in both, but the menus you go through to get to them can be significantly different.

>>59025421

>>59027914
yes i figured that out but why does load increase the temp that much, i mean the fans are barely spinning on idle and its still barely over room temp, i mean hell if i touch my chassi it feels cold to the touch.

>>59028000
Idle takes significantly less power = significantly less heat out.

If your heatsink/radiator still feels cold, either you did paste wrong, or the water isn't flowing properly. If it was working fine before, assume the second.

so I just got my PC and the problem I'm having is that when I connect my headset, it doesn't detect my my mic. however whenever I plug the same headset to my laptop they work fine.

>>59029071
some motherboards have an LED on it it that stays on as long as power is available
power supplies supply a small amount of power even when "off" to allow for features such as standby and soft power on (such as via the RTC/HID/network), which require power to be available all the time

You don't need an online account to use the device to stream content to you're TV. You need a wifi connection and a device that can run the app for it or Chrome.
It integrates with most online content subscriptions and the step by step instructions are brain dead easy. For the non-tech savvy you want to use the phone app.
Overall, its a bit of a round about solution to getting Netflix or whatever service onto your TV, but it works great if grandma is tired of watching movies on her smart phone.

It turns out I can't use the key because it came pre-installed on the previous computer and Microsoft wont let me download the ISO. so I found an alternative. the problem is that it's asking me if I want to download the 32 or 64 bit version of windows and I dont know which one to use. I'm also using the hdd's from my previous computer. how do I know which version to download?
